What's the origin of the phrase "I've got to pee like a racehorse"? Do racehorses have some kind of inner peeing power that is legendary among humans? Is it more powerful than that of a regular horse? So, I saw the ex-girlfriend yesterday afternoon -- she had some of my things to give back to me and she owed me over $150 that she had to pay back to me. And quite frankly, I was prepared to do things civilly. I even gave her a CD when I saw her. So when she asked if I could sit down and stay a minute, I thought it would be just idle conversation or something about how bad she feels about us ending. Instead, I got a speech about how I was dishonest and suspicious, which showed in the way I told her about my activities last Saturday night (I had originally told her I was going to do karaoke with some people from my singing group -- which I was -- but a bunch of people backed out until it was just me and the organizer left, so we got dinner and watched Real Genius back at my place instead). I took the high road and didn't say anything about how paranoid, condescending and accusatory she is and what unattractive traits those are, and I let her have the last word -- as she finished giving her little speech, she wished me the best of luck in life and got up and walked away. As a result, I have absolutely no qualms about walking away from her now. Any thoughts I had about feeling horrible for breaking her heart are now gone, as are my thoughts about "maybe I should go back to her and see this through," and I am quite happily moving on. Though the little evil prankster gnome inside me has a rather strong urge to hack into her JDate account and change her profile to include some of her not-so-wonderful traits. [wry smile] So... anyone know any L.A.-based hot, intelligent, single Jewish women?
