It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I'm still waiting for you to announce you have.

our wedding for 200 could very well morph into the wedding that destroyed the universe.

I think we've got a more likely contender....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

the Dimension where Christian Bale Rubs My Neck and Shoulders While I Work

Put me down for the Dimension where Christian Bale Rubs My Neck and Shoulders While I Don't Work.

I think we've got a more likely contender....

Don't think your Jedi mind tricks will work on me, missy!

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

-t, the hail is the portent. 164 of my family's friends and business associates (primarily Italian-Americans) could consume the remaining food supply.

I don't think I even know 164 people by name. Wow. Thanks for the head's-up, MFNlaw. I'll see if the Dimension where Christian Bale Rubs My Neck and Shoulders While I Work has any openings.

Scary thing is, I know every last blessed one of them. The restaurant business is not good for keeping the circle of friends in the double digits.

Erm, screw the wedding. I want next dibs on the Christian Bale dimension.

I think we've got a more likely contender....

It's a serious thought. Vegas is looking pretty good right about now.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

the wedding that destroyed the universe.

Be sure to get a receipt. Paperwork is very important when there's been an apocalypse.

Nice pictures, amych! (I was a little distracted by the hail.)

So far my day can be summed up as

Me: Don't do that, it won't work that way.

Them: I did that and it didn't work.

Me: That's because it won't work that way . insert explanation about the chaos that is the astronomers' brains.

Them: But it doesn't work!

Me: Do it this way. insert explanation v2 about the chaos that is the astronomers' brains.

Them: I did it this way and it worked but if I did it that way it didn't work.

Me: ....

Them: ???? !!!!

Me: slowly starts typing v3 of the explanation about the chaos that is the astronomers' brains.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

You know, I hear Vegas is nice in mid-September.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

damn, I don't think I have a receipt. I guess that means no returns.

YAY Elopement! Was anyone else there or was it just the 2 of you? When is your big part-ay? Am I crazy or were you planning a wedding before, or was that just planning the par-tay?

Dammit, everyone should have a FAQ!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think I got a receipt. I know I have three marriage certificates.

Oh, okay then.

::wanders off::

So -- I've been informed by guys at the centre that injuries are surefire women attractors (and injured guys with accents pretty much have to beat the chicks off with a stick which looks really quite porny now that I've typed it out, so give me a couple seconds to clean my brain). I mentioned that I wasn't sure I could work the black eye the same way -- that the idea of a fight-injured woman being more attractive was kinda weird.

Yet they assured me that it was perfectly normal and not a sign of a wifebeater in search of a wife.

I get the injured guys are hot thing -- there's an element of the strong made weak and needing to be nurtured back to strength, there's the "how brave a warrior!" thing -- mostly in line with traditional male roles -- you don't need to know the guy to start applying those ideas to him.

For a chick, I'm thinking, you either get the white knight reflex, or the "hey! I want to play too!" reaction. If you know them, then maybe the female version of the guy paragraph.

Weird, really. Though I have gotten compliments from guys on it so far (this is a good one, really -- nice colour and spread across the cheekboned), including one very simple "it looks good on you" which just goes to show it's not only Jack that I don't know.
