*looks guilty* Uh... yeah, I kinda slipped into a drool-induced coma there for a bit huh? *laughs* Must be that delicious Rob-inspired food that keeps doin' it to me! (That's my story and I'm stickin' to it, dagnammit!) Hehehe
Man... not sure what to say. Seems like things have been sucking in general and on a grand scale for most people here as of late (thank *** we have a visual distraction, huh? *looks at pics brokenangel posted and starts drooling and swooning again*) Sorry to hear about your cat Meteora, *sobs* I can't imagine what something like that would do to me, (my cats are child-substitutes, Zed being 14 in a few months, Nug being 3) it's just... I can't even think of a word to best describe how awful that is/would be. So, you have my comforting thoughts and as always big Bourdie hugs (which in essence is kinda redundant, cause he's like 6 foot 5 or so in RL and I'm like 5'3", so I can't give lofty-tower-brick-wall hugs like I assume he can/could/does *drools at the thought of being caught up in those arms... ahhhhhhhhh*
Ahem, sorry, what was I talking about again? Kinda wandered off the beaten path (as usual). Oh yeah, the loss of your cat. Trully, my sincerest thoughts are with you for that. I hope you feel better soon, though I'm not typically a great believer that time heals everything; that depends on too many factors to be trully consitent. Having said that, and I hope Black_Angel's traumatic night after the football mania is better (agreed, ****** scarey that would've been! Glad you're okay!), let me also add my gripe on a ****** thing that 'happened' to me yesterday.
No one knows about it, and I hesitate to tell anyone I actually know but I need to get this off my chest 'cause the guilt of it's weighing me down. One would argue I set myself up for it, but... well, a 'friend' I've known for almost 10 years took 'advantage' of our friendship in a not-so-friendly way. I feel guilty because it's the circumstances of what we were doing that really upsets me; despite fear of judgement, I'll tell you that prior to we were watching an adult-oriented movie and he suddenly got physical. Now we've been friends for years, honestly, he's like the big brother I've never really had and we'd been watching such movies and stuff for years, since we'd met really without incident. Yesterday he overstepped the line and things got awkward. He dragged me across the couch, pulled my pants down and... did something I won't repeat here. Having said that I'll clarify he did stop pretty quick, and I did tell him to stop (repeatedly) which he did eventually abide by, but not till it was too late. He's married with 3 kids and basically begged me after that to have *** with him and when I told him out right no, that I wouldn't and that he shouldn't, he was married, his response was simply; "So?"
I'm scared now because it's put me in an awkward position. He's my best friend's brother and father to my godson. Everyone knows he and I used to watch these movies and generally just meet socially every once in a while, even his wife (who's comfortable with the idea because she doesn't like the movies etc and is glad he has a friend she trusts he can share his interest with) but nothing has ever happened of a physical nor intimate nature in all the time I've known him, nearly 10 years, so now I'm feeling, despite reservations, that I kind of deserved what happened. I can't even tell Jammer because she and him have had a thing for years and it seems everyone likes this man, even I don't hate him, I'm just angry he thought he had the right to do what he did to a friend. I'm also angry that I couldn't stop him, he's not a huge guy (for instance, he's not built like our dear sweet lord, and thank *** at this point, I say) but I couldn't fight him off... at least I can be consoled with the fact he did listen to me in the end and stop, he didn't 'go all the way' but for all inents and purposes I feel in a way he already did. I know this isn't the forum for voicing it but I don't have anyone else to talk to about this, and seeing as how you've all had ****** weeks, I thought I'd just do my bit and contribute too. *shrugs*
Thing is, despite the fact this is a place for game play and fantasizing and drooling and all that, I'm really starting to feel that this 'image' or 'perception/idealised version' I have of Rob here is like the only safe male I know of out there and that all other guys, at least that I know in RL, are all just jerks. Rob's a safe beacon for maledom, but in my view as of late he's the only one, and an idealised viewpoint at that, seeing as how I don't even really know the guy, just really, really, really dig him... *s******s* (poor guy, fan worship gone mad). This sucks... bring on the Rob-shaped food again, I need to gorge myself, drown my sorrows (I know Rob doesn't drink, and as CoBers we should probably emulate this ideal, but even Jews surely have some kind of sacramental wine, right?) *laughs again*
PS, congrats broken_angel on your honorary position within the cooking staff here at CoB! *huge hugs* Hope you enjoy and treasure your new spatula and cooking utensils as Meteora so graciously bestowed *hugs to Meteora too* though I'm sure you'll enjoy 'em! (Am hoping you're inspired enough now to restart feast, regardless what number course we're now up to! Let's eat, I'm starved!!!)
Oh yeah, as for the 'novelty of the churches' thing - in a word, agreed. But despite the fact I've been a bit distant of late, I've never forgotten about this place, regardless how many others came up around us, and have longed to return to it and wade in the drool and so forth... and here I am. As for the post-count thing, agreed again. Who cares? My goal has always been to enjoy LP, whatever the medium/topic/level, not compete on how many times I can say something about them. (PS, Rob's a rock-***!) Hehehe
But well, I'm just glad the powers that be decided to keep the threads like this open, even if they did move them. At least it's still here, and even if only three or four loyal worshippers utilise it, so be it. As long as there's enough Rob-inspired food, images, fantasies and oceans of drool to go around. Lets face it, look at our dear sweet handsome, gorgeous talented lord... *wipes chin of excessive moisture* There's enough of him to go around, at least...
Well, take care guys. Love y'all. *Big Bourdie Bear hugs* TTYL, apu,

(aka, Bourdie's B*tch, the first of many in a long line, no doubt!) ;p
