Quirky Berkeley

[fancytalk]

I've been outside today weeding. As usual there is a ton of walking traffic down my street. Here are just a few of the conversations that I've caught snippets of today:

Two women pushing baby strollers - "The three of them just packed everything up and moved to Mexico. Mexico of all places! I don't know how anyone could ever live in Mexico."

Two high school boys - "I don't know what my moms was all about this morning. I mean, I took a shower and a shit . . ."

Two men - "Lately I've been thinking a lot about self-enlightenment"

I could condense the hour long phone call my neighbor had into about 5 sentences, but then you wouldn't get the effect of my listening to her say like, ya know, and OMG! repeatedly.

Can I send her your way then? She is quite pretty, if she would just shut up. Which makes me wonder why men in their 40's and 50's decide that dating 20 year old women is a good thing? Neither is at their sexual peak, so it can't be sex. And if the conversation includes that many OMG's, well, it's not much of a conversation.

Well - only beacuse its you yesimy - go on then - send her over. *shakes head* The things I do and sacrifices I make for friends :)

I can remember having a very brief fling with a lady of 41 when I was 19. Just a one night sort of thing - but the sex was incredible. Think she was in her sexual prime and if we are to belive the good people of sexual research I was just coming to the end of mine. Very pleasant evening though - so there could be some truth in the 'sexual prime' age paramaters.

Is it really such a sacrifice?
*pouts prettily and bats eyelashes*

No, I wouldn't wish her on you. She'll probably be gone by May when the school term ends anyway. Hopefully she won't do study abroad in your part of the world. Japan, maybe she'll go to Japan.

I can understand you having a fling with an older woman. That makes sense to me. The woman isn't worried about getting pregnant and let's face it, men start to lose the get up and go as they get older. That 18, 19, 20 year range would be great sex. Although now that I've said that, I think I can come up with a couple of reasons why older men want younger women.
