Steph, print up copies of that article you linked to -- hand them out with a wink and a knowing smile. Insert extra bounce into your step. Look dreamily off while people are talking to you, and shake your head and readjust yourself in your seat when you come back to earth.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

What is even happening?
You have to say it in the most refined way of course, too (well, that goes for any of them).
I used to try to remind myself that my older relatives had expectations, because of their era, and that they were trying to make conversation with and express and interest in me, so that I didn't go home angry and/or depressed.
The same question pissed off one of my sil's so badly, I swear it's why she moved away.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I vote this:
(2) "Well, I guess you could call it a relationship -- using someone as your fucktoy 3 times a week is a relationship, right? -- but I would never bring him to a family gathering. I just use him for sex."

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
(iii) "The terms of my parole prevent me from dating."
I like this one. Or something about how the leader of the Evil Bunny Alliance has not yet revealed to you the details of your soon-to-be-arranged marriage.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Can somebody remind me of the name of the Indian place in redwood City I need to pick up takeout from?
Khyber India restaurant or Suraj Indian Cuisine?

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Hec, I knew you'd pick fucktoy. It's like choosing monkey -- it's a very versatile answer.

If I only had a brain...
Thanks, Perkins. I was thinking of Suraj. Damn! I still haven't met you at the Afghani place! Arrrrrgh. Forgive me.
Have you been to Khyber India? Is it good?

I choose monkeys, fucktoys and versatility (not necessarily at the same time. Though not NOT necessarily either). That's my platform and I endorse this message.
