Go to the spy museum, all the Smithsonian Museums, the holocaust museum and all the sites. You can easily get around without renting a car – so you should totally go! It’s a walkable city with lots of free things to do. I loved living there except for all the damn traffic!

Yes to the Kitchen Chemistry class. And the dark ages one. I love the middle ages as well – so fascinating!

i have this completely irrational fear that someone is trying to break into my house every time one of my dog barks in the middle of the night. i have started having to sleep with my iPod (headphones on) and the volume up loud entire to block out any noise.
i laughed about your cat not eating you because she (he?) wouldn’t want to get wet.

Sometimes, you feel like a nut. Sometimes… you don’t.

A couple random thoughts, here:

* With regard to “Ain’t to Proud to Beg”, I was pathetic when my gf broke up with me, and I did everything I could to woo her back. Then, I succeeded in wooing her back. We moved across the country, started a new life together, got married, had kids… and our marriage sucked the soul right out of me. In the end, I think she settled for me. I was a ’safe’ option for her, and we both wanted kids. Long story short: Flush twelve years or so of what are supposed to be the best years of my life down the toilet. (We are now on a slow boat to divorce.) So, my advice? Be too proud to beg.

* With regard to relationship advice in music: man, oh, man. There are so many great, great tunes with awful, awful advice. Such as:

- “It’s in His Kiss (The Shoop Shoop Song)” (can you hear this and *not* sing along?)
- “Johnny Get Angry”
- “If You Can’t Be With the One You Love (Love the One You’re With)”

There are more. Many many more. This could be a fun topic to explore for a lonnnng time.

I kind of go back and forth. I know with my breakup with Soccer Guy, I was like, “See ya!” Then I started wondering if I shouldn’t have tried harder. But then, I think too much – THAT’S my biggest problem!

I don’t think any of my breakups have involved cheating. Most of the time, they just fizzle out, on one end or the other. But there are times when the fizzle is still there, but you can’t be together – that’s the worst, I think. It’s like, if we’re so great together, why can’t we make it work? Because of your job or mine, or whatever. And at what point do you give up on one or the other (love or external force)? It’s a tough call – luckily one I haven’t had to make (yet).

Good point – things were different back then. I hadn’t thought of that. But you forgot about “Respect” and “I Will Survive” – No women crying there!

I think I’m more of a Reba McIntire- Consider Me Gone kinda gal. No begging for me, I’m usually out of there first.

It’s hard to say at times. Sometimes I think there are other factors in each situation as well that can or can’t be rectified. I feel that in my recent case anyway, sometimes external influences can make or break a relationship, and it doesn’t have to involve cheating or infidelity.
