Last night, I asked the boyfriend what his favorite word is/favorite words are. I was playing with an idea for my 365 and I wanted something that didn’t seem very la-di-da and something I could easily turn into an image. As expected, his initial answers were of the lemme-think kind (I don’t know. Sex? Helga?).
So I told him my current favorite words: gossamer, scintillate, effulgent, and strident…and harlot. I like harlot. A lot. It also seemed like the perfect karma-bait question (I was wrong, I only got 16 replies) so I headed over to Plurk and asked my friends for their favorite words. I got brazened, unbridled, ramifications, ineffable, inevitable, etc etc. Finally, he answers :
I really should go ahead and create that My Boyfriend Says the Darndest Things blog.

This is a little late and is no way of any great importance but I would like to announce to the internets that at long last, I have figured out what my biggest turn on is. I used to think it was power and my dating history shows that I am drawn and tend to go for alpha males. Most of them were douchebags (unfortunately/naturally), but hey, they were powerful douchebags! This ruffled the boyfriend a whole lot, of course, as there is that possibility I may leave him for the next more powerful guy (never, I say. Never!).
…
Anyway, it’s romance. When I think about it, I’ve always been a sucker for romance (and the idea of love/falling in love and I’m really glad I’m not easily swept away). I’m just worried that I have a bit of twisted idea of romance— none of that wining and dining, courtship, flowers, and chocolates sort. At my worst, I’m of the metaphorical dragon-slaying and princess-saving kind. At my best, I’m fine with being cuddled like a kitty cat and being told I’m beautiful.
I sound emotionally easy, don’t I?
My biggest turn off? Unavailability. I find it quite amusing that nearly two years ago, the only reason I had agreed to meet up with the boyfriend was because I had deemed him to be emotionally-unavailable. Someone safe. We all know how that turned out ♥

I was re-reading my personal astrology portrait, trying to make more sense out of it. I say more because I’ve been reading the damn thing since 2006 and I still don’t completely get it. This is the gist of my personal astrology portrait aka who you are when you’re a female born in Manila, Philippines at 730am on May 31, 1985: Sun in Gemini, Moon in Libra, Ascendant in Cancer, Moon in the Fourth House, Saturn in the Fifth House, Neptune Opposition Ascendant, Venus in the Tenth House, Sun in the Twelfth House.
Eh?
But anyway, having my ascendant in Cancer (is that the proper term? My ascendant in Cancer?) apparently “gives the tendency to completely retreat when hurt or frightened of a situation”. Werd, berd. Staging distance is my defense mechanism. What’s yours?
Well, this entry was just all over the place, much like a drunken Helga on a weekend night.
Yay,discount furniture!
i like scintillate too! after “scintillate, scintillate asteroid minific” :)
and concubine and hypocrite both from reading the bible.

I think you’re attracted to men who know how to touch your heart. Usually it’s through your idea of romance and a shared ticklebone, to be able to laugh at the world together.

Oh Helga… I think I need to go back to school because I don’t know what half those words mean. My favorite word? Hrm I’ll have to think about that.

Cool pictures! I’m almost that skinny again, I mean I look fucking awesome for having a baby four months ago but its not the same! HAHA I like that idea about the boyfriend comments.

Oh dear, those favorite words you have, I don’t even know what they mean!
One of my all time favorite words has to be “alleviate” because it’s like a combination of “elevate” and “relieve”. Ah, I lak it a lot.

I like the idea of having words. I have only one, but it is, hands down, the greatest word ever made:
Defenestrate.
Which means to throw out of a window.

I like “gossamer”, sounds uber sexy.
Hrm…favorite words? I use “Dude” and “umm…like” alot. Hehehe…

Unavailability is a huge turn-off for me as well. Unacceptable.

I really enjoyed reading this blog. I would have to agree with you whole heartedly about unavailability. I had to re-evaluate the relationship I just left for that very reason. I felt a lot of the time like I might as well be single. If you’re not available to eachother, and involved in eachother than what is the basis or the relationship?
