Comments on: Get Your Heart On http://www.fussy.org/2009/02/get-your-heart-on.html Wed, 08 Feb 2012 06:48:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Kelly http://www.fussy.org/2009/02/get-your-heart-on.html#comment-2874 Kelly Fri, 20 Feb 2009 14:27:00 +0000 http://www.fussy.org/wordpress/?p=244#comment-2874 I know I'm a bit late--I try to keep up with you, Mrs. Kennedy! I wanted to say thank you for the job interview discussion. (And of course, congrats on feeling good about it after the interview--so important. So so very important.) <br /><br />I had an interview this week, and have one set up for next week. After leaving a job in NYC to go to my hometown and volunteer for three months for Obama (small-town, red red RED Ohio--and this was the SECOND time I'd done it since I'd done the exact same thing for Kerry), I returned to New York. And you know what? SOMETHING HAPPENED TO THE ECONOMY WHILE I WAS IN OHIO!!! Oh noes!<br /><br />I don't regret it. I am happy that I helped the Obama campaign in a critical state. But whoa, hold the bus! Can I have a job? Someone? Anyone? <br /><br />The best of good and fantastic wonderful luck to you. If this is the job you want, then I want you to have this job. And if anyone can send some positive thoughts over here to the East Coast, where my COBRA is running out, my cancer is still there (seriously), and I need to get out of my lovely light-filled Brooklyn apartment to maintain my sanity (and also, my financial well-being), I will take those good thoughts. My bootstraps are about to disintegrate from all of that pulling. <br /><br />Sorry for the long comment. It's just that I wanted to tell you that. Also? The interview post was an inspiration. I didn't feel so alone whilst looking for a job in this scary economy. I wear pants, though, to my interviews. Just my preference. I know I’m a bit late–I try to keep up with you, Mrs. Kennedy!

Overconfident clowning on my behalf usually gets my attention. Throwing out all machismo just for a moment or two.<br /><br />Wrecking the kitchen to make me pancakes. Forgetting the flowers and making me a bouquet of celery and weeds. Priceless. I know precisely what makes me feel loved. Overconfident clowning on my behalf usually gets my attention.

I’ve seen the Madagascar opening nine times and still am not sick of it yet …

“I’m a lady, I’m a lady! Which one of you was attracted to me?!”

I hope I am reincarnated as king Julian.

It didn't tell me why I love who I love, but it was pretty damn interesting, nonetheless (not dogs, bonobos, fwiw).<br /><br />The research suggests our bodies are aroused when we think we are not, and that women are aroused by a much more extensive selection of images/situations (perhaps evolutionarily, so that injury didn't occur during intercourse). But, ahem. Maybe I'm just in the mood for some stimulating clinical sex research...<br /><br />I'm glad your interview went well! I really enjoyed that article, in its entirety.
