This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Do I embrace the "you can spindle me ANYtime" or just avoid it?

I'm torn.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I like this guy's work. [link] Though having his as my uncle-in-law helps.

The rose didn't link so much and lunk.

I'm torn.

move out and draw fire

The pre-kiss line about the brass ring is a good one, bt (since you are here and I didn't tell you yesterday). I'm holding up a 9.6 card for you on that one.

On a totally other topic, this is so so wrong, and yet so so funny. Shock and Awe. Sometimes The Onion gets it right.

Do that on the left side of my neck and I'm all yours.

Yeah. In the 80s there was a ridiculous cop TV series called Automan, where one of the partners was basically a solid hologram, who'd learnt most of his social behaviour from watching telelvision. He was being seduced once, and after the kiss he confessed his ignorance by noting that the screen usually fades to black at this point.

I kind of feel that way. It's been over fifteen years since I last had a first kiss, and I had little idea of how to lead into it then. I'm a tad nervous.

"What do you think you're doing?"
"Oh, y'know, just feeling my way in."

Oh Trudy, you hickey hussy.

Oh, pretty.

I am quite the fan on the brass ring line too. I mean, I don't in general like "lines" but I do like a witty way with words and the edges are kinda blurry sometimes.

As are my synapses. Bedtime.

I was just ranting about this a few days ago. Not to drag Firefly out of its own thread, but I've often thought that the sci-fi/fantasy trope of sexual training is brilliant! I would so take some classes. It's like martial arts: you can get the concept from reading books, looking at pictures, and talking to people, but you really need to practice with a partner (or more) to get good at it.

Anyway, my own issues there, and I've lots more to say on the topic, but I think you will do fine with the first kiss. And the lead-in is the really fun part. And I hope you get the chance for both this weekend!
