Wow... I have occasionally wondered what that would be like... I think it's like with anything, when you find someone who understands what you're going through, or where you have been. Sign language is really beautiful. To the observer, it does seem like art (like dancing with the hands, with deep meaning) - do you feel like you are performing or making art forms, or are you just talking? I think we all find a kinship with other people who share a common language, whether spoken, sign, or interest-based... (arts, science, math, health, music... etc.)...
When I'm signing with friends, I'm just talking. Some sign different than others so it may seem more artistic in regular every day conversations... But, it's also an art form! There's sign language poetry, jokes, stories, everything =). ( http://www.d-pan.org/ is a good example of the artistic side of the language)
- Eating good food - My internet connection - My family and friends - Getting a text, email or IM from someone I'm fond of - Buying new clothes, shoes, accessories etc. I feel good when I look my best - Dogs/Puppies - Receiving compliments and giving them - Liking someone - Having some money - Old School Hip Hop
Things that make me happy: Reading- anything, everything Drinking coffee on my front porch Great conversations with friends Laughter Puppy love the theater singing (at home, in front of others- doesn't matter) Cooking A great glass of wine Hugs Long conversations in bed with the bf when we're wrapped around each other clean laundry listening to Tori Amos
All I can say is... you see what the girls are giving, but you give so much less. It seems deliberate. And... It's very telling.
This thread is about sharing the things that make us happy, not criticizing anyone for the things they choose (or don't choose) to share. Feel free to create another thread for a discussion, if you so please, but I ask that you don't derail mine with negativity.
Oh please - and ignore the obvious? They are mocking you with their brevity, unless I am just completely misunderstanding men - although I know some that are capable of a coherent thought.
More things Witnessing acts of kindness Feathers Playing video games with my bf Writing Creation, and the process that leads to it Coming up with new ideas for old things Driving on the freeway headed west, during sunset, when the sun looks so close it looks like you're driving straight into it. Margaritas Helping someone who really needs it Standing at the top of a very old mountain in the autumn, when the leaves are at their brightest. The way my mom's house smells Language
I have asked you respectfully. Please, if you don't want to participate then don't, but this is not the thread for criticism. It's unnecessary and repugnant.
- After I clean up my house - Playing Scrabble - Watching my favorite shows - Double Stuf Oreos - Good sex
THEY are repugnant. I gave you a beautiful list of things I love, and you noticed not a one. Helping someone who really needs it That was one of the first things I listed. You didn't notice it. All brothers can talk about is material shit. Or a label. Like "Philosophy". I wanted to participate, then noticed the crap that was being offered from the BM side of the spectrum compared to all of the beauty that the WW were offering. You would have to be blind not to notice. But then, you didn't see my post, did you? Don't forget, I'm an artist like you. And I am telling you... There is something wrong with this picture.
