The Search for Love in Manhattan

May 25, 2006

It is my greatest dream in life to throw a drink in somebody's face.

Actually, that's not true. Throwing a drink in somebody's face is only my second-greatest dream in life; my greatest dream in life is to become an arsonist.

Gosh, what happened to "book world darling", "musical theater gadfly" or even "celebrated dick dancer"?

2) Anono.Blogger [TypeKey Profile Page] said (on 05/25/06 at 02:19 PM):

Been there, done that. Extremely satisfying!

A.B.

Then you must throw your drink in someone's face, then light him (or her) on fire, thus realizing two dreams at once.

Synergy, my dear. Synergy.

Jeffrey has a point, but it would be easier simply to throw a flaming Sambuca in someone's face.

5) Adam875 said (on 05/25/06 at 08:29 PM):

You could throw a highly flammable drink in the face of a smoker.

6) Alden said (on 05/25/06 at 10:43 PM):

I knew it. You are Count Olaf, aren't you.

7) Sarwat said (on 05/25/06 at 10:55 PM):

I once threw a cup of water at someone's face. After a volleyball tournament. It was an exhilirating experience.

8) Logan said (on 05/25/06 at 11:37 PM):

Whichever method you choose to fulfill these two dreams, you should look into acquiring an amanuensis to document the entire experience.

I thought your were working out the arson thing by go-go dancing.

This is my first visit to your site, and this is the first post I've ever read of yours. I think I'm totally hooked. also - ME TOO!

I'm getting deja vu here.

How did you like Lavi?

12) Lynn said (on 05/26/06 at 11:24 AM):

Are these dreams or impulses. Sometimes I want to punch pregnant ladies in the stomach--does that count?

13) Sin said (on 05/26/06 at 03:30 PM):

I've thrown a drink in someone's face and then set him on fire. Does that work for you? Because it's really easy as long as brandy's involved.

14) Ruby said (on 05/27/06 at 07:36 AM):

I've thrown a drink in someone's face before. Sadly, it wasn't as satisfying as I thought it would be.

However, I am willing to do it again as soon the 'moment' happens.

15) will said (on 05/27/06 at 03:15 PM):

Sometimes the wanting is better than the having.

16) Andy said (on 05/28/06 at 03:50 PM):

But what would you burn?

I think my dream is to have a real orgy before I get too old and have to pay for it.

17) malnurtured snay said (on 05/28/06 at 10:21 PM):

I was going to say the "light a drink on fire, then throw" thing, but someone beat me to it. Damn.

18) Jay said (on 05/29/06 at 03:02 AM):

Actually, you can combine both into a profitable career. Throw the drink, then throw a match.
You ARE talking about being a fire bug, aren't you? I hope I haven't confused between an arsonist and an arsenist again! Mercy!

19) roy said (on 05/29/06 at 11:04 AM):

is it still arson if you're lighting a person?

20) scottk said (on 05/29/06 at 07:39 PM):

I actually smacked a guy across the face in a gay bar once. He called a very good friend of mine a whore. It was a very Crystal Carrington moment.

21) David said (on 05/30/06 at 11:31 AM):

Dreams don't die, so keep an eye on your dreams.

22) goblinbox said (on 05/30/06 at 06:25 PM):

I adore arson!

Arsonists I'm a bit lukewarm about.

23) Craig said (on 05/31/06 at 04:49 PM):

Why, you're not Faustus. What have you done with him?

24) Headbang8 said (on 06/25/06 at 02:10 PM):

Jay is right. You can combine the two. Stage fore-eaters use brandy.
