Those With Self-Righteous Attitudes Need Not Read On
by: Trisha Navarro featured in: UCI's New University

Around 11:30 one night, I pulled up to the beat-up intercom of Alejandro’s drive-thru, studying the menu as if my future depended on my choice between a carne asada burrito and carne asada nachos. Suddenly, the vibrating of my phone broke my concentration, and I glanced at it before responding to the static spitting out of the intercom.
It was Johnny-from-two-weeks-ago. Uh oh. At 11:30, Johnny-from-two-weeks-ago could only be calling me for one thing.
I let my phone continue to buzz as I hurriedly ordered, now only concerned with my decision of whether or not to return the booty call.
For those of you who have lived in a cave or Alaska for the past decade, a “booty call” is a phone call with the sole intention of requesting sex. The term also refers to the recipient of such a call, as I was that night.
Booty calls most likely emerged into pop-American slang after the idiom was used to entitle some early-‘90s B-rate flick. The act itself has probably been around for as long as humans have had booties, or at least telephones.
Some couples use it to refer to their own spontaneous rendezvous, but for one reason or another it has a negative connotation when the user of the term is not part of a proclaimed couple. “Ooh, casual sex is bad,” they say.
But when it’s between two (or more) consenting adults, who cares? There’s no reason why those of us who have yet to find that person commonly referred to as “the one” should go without booty.
These flings are just underrated. Don’t knock it till you try it, I say. I’d compile a list of cons, but I can’t even think of any (if you nag me about the immorality of casual sex one more time, I’ll wish permanent chastity upon you). So here’s my list of booty call pros:

GETTIN’ DOWN TO LOOSEN UP.
Long-term sexual deprivation is no laughing matter. It can be debilitating enough to affect one’s performance at work and attitude around others (especially those lucky bastards who actually get some on a regular basis). If you’ve ever been called an up-tight jerk of a person, a booty call may be just what you need. At least some form of sex, booty call or otherwise. Sex allows its participants to release unnecessary pent-up aggression in less time than any massage therapist or psychologist can. To deny this need denies oneself of a whole organ system, so there’s no point in letting pass an opportunity to liberate oneself from such an enfeeblement, should such an opportunity come along. Even if it is a booty call.

COMMITMENTLESS BLISS.
As long as you and your booty caller/callee can commit yourselves to having sex with no strings attached, then that is all the commitment necessary with booty calls. Booty call participants don’t let silly nonsense like feelings get in the way. Thus, no one gets hurt. Sure, you might be missing out on the bliss associated with real love, but you aren’t missing out on the joy of getting some. Of course, refrain from such calls if you’re one of those emotionally vulnerable souls that tend to confuse lust with love. Make sure you are comfortable and don’t feel like anyone is being used, and keep in mind that it’s all just for fun.

DON’T STRESS TO IMPRESS, JUST UNDRESS!
When you don’t have any feelings for the other person, there’s no need to lie and say “I love you,” “I enjoy talking to you” or “You’re so big!” You can drop all that B.S. intended to impress one another and just get down to business. You can even decline from doing anything that’s too kinky for you, or possibly even suggest doing something that you’d normally feel embarrassed to bring up with a person you actually care about. Just feel free to have fun without worrying about what your partner thinks, even if you do make that weird face.

BROADENING YOUR BOOTY-FUL HORIZONS.
A person with the perfect combination of intelligence, wit, compassion and beauty is hard to come by. But if booty is all you’re looking for, why worry about how much that person can make you laugh? You can even date a charm-less, conceited prick—they’re almost ideal for booty calls, because people like this make it easy to not develop feelings for them. There seems to be plenty of them around, anyway. Actually, people with money tend to be this way—yay for booty calls who double as sugar daddies/mamas.

DON’T YOU WANT SOME-BOOTY TO LOVE?
Before people can develop substantial feelings for one another, they have to get to know each other somehow, right? Love can happen anywhere, so why not in the bedroom? You never know what could arise. You could wake up to something more than you’d expected. Just don’t expect romance from situations such as these. They are, after all, just booty calls.

Maybe casual sex isn’t for you. But don’t judge those of us who have welcomed “friends with benefits” into our lives. Life should be just about enjoying it.
The waiting period between not having romance and finding romance needs to be fun, too. It’s up to you to make it that way.

comments: so yea... i found this article kinda amusing... jus thought i'd share it. it does not necessarily reflect my own personal beliefs. so yes, i hope u enjoyed!. haha... comment on it if you want... it'll be fun

*yawn* so, i'm the worst procrastinator ever... i've gone from procrastinator to jus plain stupid and lazy... damn me... this is the worst time to let it happen too... blah...

my counter reached 11111. that's so cool. haha... i'm a loser. =D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PAUL [choco]!!!
i heart you!!! =D

oh, but i sure am screwed bout this cell phone bill!

yesterday, i came to the realization that overall, i lead a pretty good life. the only 2 real stresses in my life are school and money. how'd i come to this? well, let me recap my day yesterday...

i woke up at about 9:00am to get ready for work. i wore my black, midlength skirt, gray tommy hil button down shirt, and my heels. i did my makeup, and let me say this... i looked good. [yea, i don't say that often...] when i look good, i feel good. i ate my quick brunch of easy mac. [haha... poor college student.] i boiled some water, made tea, and put in a lil bit of milk. yum. my day was on its way. i drove to work, and arrived right on time. work is great. i like it so much so far. i like getting to help people and getting to talk to and meet them. i also made a few sales [one pair of versace sunglasses stands out to me]. that made me happy, especially since we're on commission. =] work makes me happy because i don't feel like my days are wasted. after work, i got a vmail from my cousin asking what my plans were for the weekend and what not. i called back and left a message telling her that i had no plans. i went back to my apt and jus chilled for a while. i saw my roommate, michelle, get ready for some event. she looked very pretty, as always. my roommates make me happy because they're so fun and beautiful people on the inside as well as on the outside. later, michelle left and so did melanie. it was just me and makana, as usual, in the apartment. when me and makana have the apt to ourselves, we get a lil weird and crazy. often, you can find us running down the hallway, dancing to music, vegetating on the couch in front of the tv, or jus actin like such dorks. well, this night was like the others. haha... at the last minute, i decided that i wanted to go to irvine spectrum and spend the very last of my money on some needed clothing for work. off we went. fun times indeed. it took us a good few minutes to find parking. that was exciting. haha... we were stalking this one group of people who ended up walking right out of the parking lot! evil. haha... so we eventually found parking, and headed out. girlie clothing shopping. oh man... hahaha... tried on some stuff. pointed out some other things. laughing... random pictures. reading books at urban outfitters. fake girl voices. more laughing. during our shopping, i heard a voice... a familiar voice coming from the ferris wheel... it was justin!!! haha... so we walked around the ferris wheel tryin to find him... no luck... finally, makana jus asked one of the girls and she pointed up. i was like, "HUH?!?" and looked... there he was at the control tower type thing! hahaha... so we were gonna get a free ride after i finished shopping... i ended up buying two sweaters for work and each didn't cost over $18. not bad. so the ferris wheel ride... it was so "welcome to the OC." haha... there were couples and what not... but it was me and the roommie... haha... somehow i started singing the national anthem, and makana and i took turns... lol! and this wasn't exactly quiet... hahaha... good times indeed. more random pictures. after the ride, we thanked justin and headed to the lot. while exitting the lot, we decided to eat at red robin... so we turned right around and parked in the same lot we jus came from... haha... by this point, we were so tapped out of energy. raspberry milkshake. veggie/chicken wrap that peed out juices when i bit into it. lots of chicken. spending the last of my money, but not caring too much. that was the end of the outting... hehe... we headed on back to our empty apt. ended the day with some of our pothead reggae music. nice. that made me happy. yay for makana being so goofy! haha... so, the final part of why i realized that i was really happy for once in a really long time? well, his name is joe. he completes my day... like the cherry on top of a perfect sundae. everytime i talk to him, it's as if time jus passes by... i miss him so much even tho it's only been a week! lalala... the end of the day.

i'm happy because: friends at school, friends back home, friends in the apt, work, joe... i am surrounded by love. to all those that jus make my days jus that lil bit brighter, thank you. i can truly say that i am happy again.

[ break: i jus watched makana and michelle shake their groove things in the living room. haha... tahitian dancing is fun to watch. =] i heart my roommates. ]

DO YOU SEE THAT COOL LIL BUTTON TO THE RIGHT!?!? USE IT!!! DONATE!!! PLEASE... =P

You're my star
And when I'm far
You're not alone
'Cause your heart's my home

Which Initial D Character Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

what a weekend... HA

well, my mom got my cell phone bill. great. thank you cingular for screwing me over by sending the bill to the wrong address. oh, and jus my luck... on the same freakin day, my mom receives a citation for running a red light, but of course it was for me. fuckers. damn photo-taking stoplights... so yes, instead of $300 in debt, make that $600. *sigh*

argh... the inner-raver in me jus too much! i keep gettin rave cravings whenever i listen to trance or anything somehow connected to raves... what the heck is wrong with me!?!? when's the next massive?! hahaha... i must seek psychiatric help now...

i believe it's about time for a new quality entry... so here goes...

so, 2003 wasn't the best year to say the least. it was full of ups and downs, but i'm hoping to end it on an up... currently, i guess you could say that i should be one of the happiest people. i have a bf who truly cares bout me and knows how to show it. i'm passing [heh] in school, and i finally have an idea of what i wanna do, major-wise. i also got a job in the mall at sunglasshut/watchstation; so i have some sort of income. yea, things are looking up for me... yet, i still have this deeper feeling that it's not enough... i still do have my money dillemma with my cell phone bill that's hanging over my head [$200+ still needed]... i still do miss a lot of people... *shrugz* i kno that i've gained a lot of good the past few days... so for now, i'm jus gonna try to crack that winning smile and see if i can start healing...

to those lost:
i never meant for all this to happen. i never wanted to lose you. i never wanted to lose your respect. i truly am sorry for everything, but there was no easy way or safe route... i felt what i felt, and it was too late to turn back. i kno that you feel like i'm not that same person anymore... but i am... i'm not heartless. i'm not untrustworthy. i miss you. you were my family and one of my closest friends. i'm still the same person...

there's a few things bout my personality that i've come to realize the past year or so... on the outside, i appear to be all smiles, the happy-go-lucky girl that appears to be so carefree. honestly, i am a pretty happy person usually, and i like being the one to cheer up people. but then there's the other side of me... things don't often get me down easily, but when i do get down... it's hard for me to get back up. i kno there's very few people that really kno what it takes to make me feel better, but it takes a lot from me to actually ask for help or to go to them. i guess it's something even a lot of my friends or exbfs actually don't really get bout me... the depressed side of me. i don't kno if u understand that, but yea... don't think i'm a manic-depressive or something... cuz i like being happy. =P

i don't like how people take only one side of the story into consideration when more often than not, there's another sider if not more than jus one. but i understand why it's done... i guess i jus wish someone asked me what happened or what i thought... but it's too late now cuz i'm starting to get over it... it's REALLY hard, but i have to do this for myself...

uci is a totally different experience for me this year. it jus seems like so many things are different. i'm happier this year than i was last year. i'm grateful for everything i have. academically, school will always be school, but maybe i'll actually grow interested in what i learn. my social life is pretty different, tho. i'm not a big kaba-head anymore. it's not the same anymore... outside of kaba, tho, it seems like i've finally found some really great friends [mara, marsa, dom, gene, greg, NorCal crew, etc.]. i'm happy with that. i'm still not that partyer, and i doubt i'll ever be. my roommate is kick ass and coo to chill wit in the apartment. my life with my mom is going so well. *knock on wood* i'm glad. overall, this is a better experience than last year, so far. =]

last weekend was one of my better trips home. i spent time with the significant other. i saw two of my best buddies in concord. my cousin's wedding was fun, and i'm glad i was a part of it. it was a good weekend with family and friends. i guess what makes it good was the fact that there wasn't any bad. i've been having a few too many bad times recently; so it felt good to actually have a drama-free weekend.

well, my entry of random-ass thoughts should come to an end now or else i'll never stop... so i'll write again soon... even tho it seems like my page is dying slowly... *shrugz* oh well...

Ryan: "i'm bad."
Paul: "you know it."

hahaha... ok, it was funnier at the time cuz yea... michael jackson... k, jk... i guess it's not that funny. =P

sometimes i feel like he convinced the world to hate me... i've lost so many people in such little time... i guess history does repeat itself... i lost so many people in hs that i miss dearly... and now, i lost almost 10 friends in a matter of weeks... good job adrienne.

guilt & pity is kickin in.
