billytea has also made my list of FAVORITES.

Sure, that's what you say now, but I also counted how many times you COMM'd me, and it's only happened six times! Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

billy, did you tell Prospect Girl that you had help with the riddle from an international group of analysts?

I thought I'd tell her on the date ("I hvae a confession to make"). That way she can't take it back. Well, she can, but I'll still have had a date, just a short one.

We've started playing a game where he'll read me a post, and I have to guess which Buffista wrote it. Nilly and billytea are the easiest to get (take that how you will), but my scores are pretty good across the board.

Hee. I shall take it as a compliment. As something of a self-validation exercise, I recently went back over the archives and collected all my favourite quotes of me into a single file (the stuff that didn't get COMM'd! Honestly, people, sometimes I think you're just not trying), and it's true, I have a pretty distinctive 'voice'. Plus, I crack myself up.

Now that really would be taking the piss.

Ha!

Mr tea and I, however, are destined to live out our lives oceans apart. Well, either that or else we'll randomly meet in Thailand one day, have one perfect night of passion, and then discover that we're supposed to be archnemeses. My plans to teach sign language to the world echidna population will come into direct conflict with all that Mr tea holds dear...

Hee. My parents first met at the local swimming pool, when M decided D was taking too long to dive because he was showing off, and so she pushed him off the diving board. But the second time was at a party, where all the guys and girls were given half of a heart, and they had to find the person whose heart-half fit theirs. M got the host to rig it so she and D got halves of the same heart.

So I'm imagining something similar for finding out we're supposed to be archnemeses, only with a picture of a cartoon demon-face saying "Grrr".

"I do'nt know you, but as a mom, I think it's important for Teachers to be of the highest morals, so I don't like to hear of teacher that are not. I think you are one of X's sisters friends, so I just thank GOD you are not a teacher in my town."

When I was on the Time Faith board, my reply to such posts was generally "Good for you. Have a pop tart."

Hi everyone.

Fabulous letters.

I just went to happy hour with what seemed like a fairly large portion of young Jewish DC. It was fun. Spent lots of time admiring rings, and panicking at the "why am I the only girl here who's not in a relationship?" stuff. Spent more time pondering why I seem to be stuck at "cute" and never "hot." Spent quite a bit of time drinking, as can be be seen by this rambling post which will surely embarrass me tomorrow. Decided I'm too fat. Am now trying to convince myself that drunk dialing is bad and wrong and something I will not do.

Drunk dialling is the wrongest thing ever -- the rest of it will wear off, but the dialling lasts forever.

Right. Drunk dialing is wrong. I will not call him.

I will not call that other him, either.

Friends don't let friends dial drunk.

If you must call someone, call your Mama.

If you must call someone, call your Mama.

Yes! Because mothers love to know their kids are getting hammered.

Post here. It's like a support group, except we're just as likely to decide you're really entertaining like this and encourage you. ("Hi, my name's Biff, and I'm an alcoholic." "A toast to Biff!")

I'm not sure drunk-dialing your mother is such a hot idea either.

Yeah, Lanie did that on Gilmore Girls... actually, in that case it was probably the necessary thing to do. But I think that's the exception rather than the rule.

Billytea is making me laugh.

Calling my mother would be a really really bad idea. Way worse than any of the other people I've considered calling.

Call the numbers you see in infomercials.
