Alias: Poor Arvin just has poor taste in buddies.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I will gesture or say something to "give permission" for the argument to go to that next level of intensity
What sort of signals do you give?
Hand-gestures that they should continue; body-language of interest; I'll sometimes ask for a clarification that gets into minutiae, to show that they're just not listening to themselves talk for no reason. I'm not the sort who particulalry enjoys eye-contact, but I use it a lot when I'm trying to prove that I'm both interested and invested in a discussion.
In other news, I skipped Alias! Well, no big loss. You guys will warn me when Baby Assassin is scheduled to guest star again, right? Wossname, Sark.
I am making comfort food for dinner: mashed sweet potatoes with marshmallows melted on top. Best use of an orange vegetable evar!

sara,
your original post said that (a)no=no in Czech. That's why I was confused.
Edited because I just re-read the orignal post that confused me.

Not quite. Czech is in italics. No whitefont, because, HEY, language lesson!
Ano- yes
ne- no
no (abbrv.)- yeah.
Confused yet? Try breaking in the language the first week. Or hell, after a few drinks. I got a lot of extra drinks, had to wiggle out of quite a few mistakenly accepted propositions, and just... trouble. Oh, and there was that free cab ride that I had to flee from. Oy.
Neni zac? It's nothing.

Ack! Did I? Feh.

Gotcha - I edited. In your original post, you said that ano=no (not yes), so that's why I was confused.

Fingers, meet brain. Fingers, obey brain. And yes, I expect you to read it even when it gives you bad signals. Figure out what it really meant.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
no (abbrv.)- yeah.
That is super confusing for an English speaker!
Good lord why am I not writing my paper.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Have I mentioned lately how much I adore Laura?
