How to get into a bed

Listening to Bauhaus on SOMA FM. Music to slit your wrists by.

Last night, my gf A_ , demonstrated how she thought I should to get into bed. She folded down the upper (pillow end) corner of the blanket and sheet (which were folded in a fashion that kept them stuck together). Then she had me sit on the edge of the bed about halfway down on the bottom sheet. Then she had me tuck my feet under the sheet/blanket and lie down and she covered me up. She said it was like an envelope so I could "be mailed to Jesus [ACK!]" if I died in my sleep. Then she said stop getting into bed by climbing over the foot of the bed frame.

And I'm still in agony from sleeping in that too soft bed. I need to sleep on my firm pallet on the wood floor again. This will relieve the constant aching in my shoulders and back and the cramping in my gut.

The mellowness of last night was an exception -- Overall, A_ is still being aggressive and domineering. Sometiems I feel like I need space. This morning she did nothign but yell at me from the time I got up until I left on my bike. She didnt' leave anyting out. I didnt'clear the breakfast table the right way. I picked up and put away tools that she had left outside. I was in her way in the bathroom. I didn't help pour the coffee. I didnt' feed her cats. My clothes are too baggy or too tight. My socks have holes in them. blah blah blah....I can't take drama, especially not early in the morning.

This month, I'm going to spend a couple of weeks backpacking in the desert, alone and without her.

On the start of my morning bike ride, I passed something odd -- a female wearing Islamic religious clothing including head gear doing muslim-style kneeling prayer prostrating herself, facing the rising sun, in front of the neighborhood kollel and Jewish Community Center.

I went dumpster diving in an electronics bin this morning and dug out a color printer (one that uses cheap ink cartridges) and a scanner. Having my own printer will keep me from having to spend $10 at an internet cafe every time I want to print my resume or something.
 
Why do you spend 10 each time? In NY it would be 1.25 to send 1 page, 15 minutes of internet, free scan OR email. Fax is 25 Cents a sheet. I know cause I would use cafes quite often last time I was here in NY. I was staying in a flat owned by my family, and there is a PC there but the flat is for single men (my clan has well over 10,000 men) who visit the city and there always a couple of others staying there, sometimes a dozen.

Anyway the price is so high (the price you pay). Dumpster diving? Is SF like NYC? In Manhattan in the well to do areas, in front of Brownstones, people leave 200 dollar sweaters neatly folded, next to PC towers for homeless to take.

On your woman, I don't give relationship advice but if I did...There is no woman in the world who is worth THAT bullshit. I would say, "You want to train something? Train these nuts not to slap against your chin, or better yet train this door not to slap your forehead when I slam it in your over bearing know-it-all half assed face."

For me? It is just me, but I could never waste a single day with a woman who consistently acted that way. Life is way too short.
 
Sometimes the libraries are a nightmare, the computer area crap-flooded with shrill, cackling teenage girls. Other times, the library computer network is down for some stupid reason. In either case, it's better to pay more money to use the printers and fax machine at a private business. But for some reason, it costs more than you'd expect. Maybe I had to print or fax extra pages, it took longer, or something. Anyway, I just bought $12 worth of toner for the printer so that problem is solved.

Also, you would not believe what peopel throw out. In both SF and in PDX, the 2 cities i'm living between, $200 sweaters like you said, Tiffany Co. jewelry, fairly new electronics, including computers. Half my wardrobe I've found in boxes along the street. And TONS of books, CDs, vinyl, and computers. The newest I found was a 1 year old Apple desktop. Also find laptops that peple threw out because they had a virus or something that didn't take more than an hour for me to fix. Repair the elctronics and sell it to earn extra money. Last year when i was in Manhattan visiting a prof at NYU (and I walked many miles in the well off areas exploring), I came across this too, so I know what you're talking about. And I would have taken some stuff home if i could have gotten it on the plane.

I don't have a clue how to deal with women. I don't know waht is normal female behavior and what is bad behavior. Maybe women normally exhibit bad behavior. But my gf's behavior is what I what I typically see in girl friends. Actually, she is more emotionally stable than most. Either I have bad luck or most women are like this. As an after thought, maybe it is something about me that brings out the worst in them. I wonder if foreign women behave this way. But she was better this morning. I did check the lunar cycle and it's approaching the new moon. It might be a monthly hormonal problem that will die down shortly..
