I know most of us have said it, or at least THOUGHT it at some point, when you find out that the girl/guy you were dating turned out to be crazy, mean, or full of shit.
Well I found out completely by accident today that one of my not so great ex girlfriends actually DID come with a fucking warning tattooed on her side.
She had this rose with the words "And then she placed the rose behind her ear and cried herself to sleep" in swirly text around it. When I asked the girl what it meant, I never got a very concrete answer; just that it was from a poem she had read. I tried to find where it came from, but the one poem I found wasn't very enlightening as to why she would get it tattooed.
Well I'm listening to the radio today, and there's this really powerful piece of prose being read by this really amazing and powerful black woman.
I get into it and turn it up, and it's about this woman who goes out and seduces men with the aim of becoming "a memory -a wound- for any man arrogant enough to want her." She gets them to fall in love, and then coldly and brutally kicks them out of her house.
Four fucking guesses what the last line is.
As it turns out, the poem I found when trying to figure out what that elusive quote on my girlfriend was about is just the little end snippet of this piece.
From what I can tell, when put into the context of the rest of the play from which it came, that particular piece is about gender vengeance for being assaulted/subjugated/what-have-you by other men in the past. It seems like a mixture of longing, hatred and self loathing. Heavy shit!
Not that it matters now, but I'll be goddamned, that girl came with a fucking warning.
I don't know whether to feel sorry for the broad, or pissed off that she had "I'm purposely going to fuck you over" written on her side, and then purposely fucked me over!
Yowsers!

First fix:
Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that, the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.
IT IS STILL RECORDED!
But now, that information lives in a delicious cookie, rather than the forum database.
Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.
PLEASE NOTIFY THE ADMINISTERRERRERR ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS!
- open the menu at the top
- hit New Posts to see what's actually new and browse the new stuff from there
- go back to the Forum Index
- open the menu at the top again
- click Mark forums read
this will zero the unread anything for you, so you can strive forth into the exciting world of the new cookie thing.

My girlfriend now? One of the reasons I like her is because she's not a fucking basket case, and comes loaded with less baggage than I do.
It's refreshing.

Hey, at least you got some type of firm answer. I've dated some girls with issues - hell, everyone has issues - but never anyone who has fucked me over just for the sake of doing so because of the bad deeds done by other guys in their past.
That strikes me as pretty evil, going out of your way to hurt other innocents just because someone of that gender hurt you.

WAFS, that is funny that the woman actually had a warning label attached. Since you never got a straight answer from her on the tattoo I have to wonder if she even understood the verse.
The only “really” crazy woman I dated was while I was going to Morgan State in MD, the young lady’s Grandmother put a curse on me.
We were having an argument when she just picked up the phone and called her grandma, in Haiti, and just like that cursed.
So yep, just kind of walked away from that one…

Oh, the girl totally knew what it meant, and what she was doing (this, I found out later). She was just dodging the question. She was a smart cookie. One of the smartest cookies, actually.
I found the piece. It's by Ntozake Shange (Entoe-zahKAY ShonGAY) from a play "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow Is Enuf."
The poem is called "One."
You can find most of it here: http://tinyurl.com/y97d9ld
That link is to google books, but the first page of the poem is cut off (though you get basically the same effect with the ones that are there).
Page 32, though if you just scroll down it's actually only the 6th page on the preview.
Or, if you are good with spoken poetry and crappy recording (which I'm not) below is the full length version as performed on stage.
I'm glad I stumbled across that radio program. After reading it a billion times, I always wondered about that goddamned tattoo. On the ribcage, no less.
The fucked up thing is that is the spot I would often pet her when we were lying in bed together. I'd trace the words and the outline of the tat over and over, and I'm willing to bet that everytime I did it, it would just drive home the damage even more.
Craaaazy girl.
(But at least she didn't voodoo curse me!)

Something tells me she was crazy-good in bed, though. Right?
I've dated (and more) my share of batshit damaged women as well and in the end had to accept the fact that it was MY fault. Time and again I would find these obviously damaged women and my "White Knight" syndrome would kick in and I felt like only I could save them. In the end, it was me that got hurt...a lot. It took a couple of years of working with a really good therapist to figure out what I was doing and learn to consciously break that habit and since then I've been nothing but happy.
Not that I'm saying that's what you're doing...just saying.

I recognized this on my own, and broke the cycle. I've since kicked a few crazy women to the curb, as soon as they showed themselves to be so.
I'm no-one's fucking savior, and I'm done sacrificing my emotions and sanity to try and help crazy people bring about any sort of, well, anything really.
I'm still friends with a few of my crazy exes, and I like it that way. Friends is fine, as long as it's removed enough where I'm just a sane guy who someone can ask for advice, instead of smearing my life with rancid bullshit.
Oh, and of course she was good in bed.
Crazy is ALWAYS good in bed!
