Kat--and I don't know what movie yet, but I suspect 40-Year-Old Virgin will be the choice, which I want to see, so, Yay.

Also, someone who works here just dropped by the desk and recommended Hugo's to me and i was able to say in a sophisticated yet friendly way "Oh, I've been there" thanks to YOU!!!!!!

Hurrah! I am *finally* done editing all the (formerly) Gothic Miss Manners columns so that they now say Gothic Charm School or the Lady of the Manners. My webmistress/design-minion said she can work on the final bits of the site during the evenings next week. With any luck, the shiny! new! Gothic Charm School site will be live by September. Now I just have to figure out CafePress and decide what merchandise I want to make available ...

ita, it doesn't mean that you are dating him, just that he is trying to position it as a date, but without the whole asking you out thing.

It's a standing outing that folks from krav take. So it'd mean we are dating, since it's not the first time this basic bunch of people has done this.

If you're travelling in a pack, it doesn't have to be a date unless you want to define it as such.

um, YOU, missy, do not get to name what this is. You simply don't know enough. Think about what knowledge you have in this area and then slowly back away from the phrases like "it'd mean". ok, precious, think we can do that?

Betsy, WE want her to define it as such. But since the one we want her to date isn't going then...

Oh. Well, carry on, then.

Hec, her name's not Anne Heche, is it?

You'd think, huh? It's her business who she wants to snuggle with. It's just she was very strident about the male oppression culture for a long time and a militant, grumpy vegetarian/food nazi. Now she's shacked up with her boyfriend, and she's got a golden retriever and she's eating bacon. But she's Emmett's Aunt, so I'm making nice.

You're a good man.
