Things were said that are not my position.
For example: The saxophone most often makes me want to peel off my skin and roll around in lemon juice.

*As I understand things, humility is sincerely understanding and knowing your strengths, weaknesses, talents, etc. and not esteeming yourself higher or lower than anyone else. Meekness is being teachable. While the latter requires humility, they are not really the same thing... at least not in my book.
Chedner, barring 2 or 3 of the last 5, why are you not, then, insanely and incurably attracted to me? I just don't get it...life's great mysteries, I guess.

ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a turn-offs post, but I hesitate to give away my turn-ons. The intrigue and mystery just wouldn't be the same.
ReplyDeleteO-Mo: Probably because of all the begging. I forgot to put that on the turn-off list ;).
ReplyDeletePG: No wonder why I'm not sexy; I should listen to saxophone while I lemon bath after I skin myself.
And you's welcome; thanks for the maid service. Next time, I'll have juice boxes, too.
El Genio: I actually only put one or two "turn-on" turn-ons. The rest are things that I just admire in a person, whether he be a romantic interest or not. I did so for the very reason of keeping the mystery and intrigue.
After all, a good magician knows how to get the audience to look one way while he makes the magic the other way.
