A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Also, was DX pulling my leg in Natter or did the seach function-y things under the posting box just show up today? I am tired and busy and somewhat harried and am not able to parse jokiness in posts.
Sorry 'bout the tired and busy.
Yes, he was. It just showed up today.

OK, Hec, you and Maria need to get your stories straight...
Tired= just regular Monday tired, and busy= work is kind of slammed, but right now, in an OK way.

It's wedding invitations where I really get the why-am-I-alone bs going on. Valentine's, whatev. But then I'm not specificaly told to bring a boyfriend to Valentine's, or seated at a table with an empty chair or a bunch of other random singles, or being all third-wheely at a Valentine's reception filled with couples, many of seem to be there specifically to scope out who you brought with you.
Given my innate contrariness, I strongly suspect that Valentine's will be far more irksome to me when I am in a commited relationship than it is now when I'm not.

vw, I thought you might find this link on Appalachian dialect interesting:
Thanks, Susan!
I am home. Paper still not magically written. I think I'm gonna have to work on those powers a bit.

The best response to have when asked why you didn't bring a date to a wedding or something is, "Oh, he's just for fun, he's not worthy of the event."
I didn't seriously hook up with anybody till I was 24, and my contentment with that state terrified the 19-year-olds around me who lived in dread of turning 20 without a guy.

Hah! That makes me both laugh AND cry!
It's not your stupid brain.
I blame my brain because I KNOW about the evil Hallmark dudes and what they're up to but I still get sad about being ALONE FOREVER!

VW I love that you are setting a specific goal and rewarding yourself with an IPOD if you reach it! I'm rooting hard for you!!! And also trying to figure out what hard but attainable goal I can set for myself that would warrant me getting an IPOD as a reward. hmmmm....maybe successfully creating a budget and following it for a couple of months. Very hard for me.

Yeah, I'm pretty much over giving a shit or feeling awkward about it now, but in my early 20s it was pretty painful.
