Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You can also just make your own cafepress store, no? Leif and Emaryn could have all the personalized swag they could want! Assuming they want mousepads and thongs, I guess.

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

Who's saying one is better?

Cindy. To wit:

if it isn't just better to go live your life, do the things you like to do

As for real names, those of you that even clicked to look, well, I can't say welcome to my world, because I've only really looked once. Now I look to see how close they come while still being completely unrelated. Iva? That's really a name? Huh.

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

As for one way being better than the other -- does it matter? The better way is the one that works. Penny B found her husband during her match.com trial period. I can hardly call that better (or worse) than anyone's meatspace hookup success.

It doesn't matter, insofar as you can't really stop the "living your life" method. But if you want to supplement it with the online stuff, I say it might be worth it. Obviously I recommend it because it worked for me. Having lived my life since, I haven't met anyone that comes close to Bob, so I'm glad I did it.

Anyway. Which is not to say that dating is anything other than an incredibly painful process that I wouldn't wish upon anyone.

Coding and Sleeping

They don't need mousepads, both their computers have optical mice.

What is even happening?

I didn't say it was better. I said I was interested in bon's perspective because I'd wondered about it.

You wondered if it was better. I addressed that point. If it was bon-only, I apologise for butting in.

OMG you guys, I would have gone crazy looking for nutmeat, so you all rock. I thankfully already figured out that when a recipe calls for "seedless raisins" it also means regular old raisins.

Although honestly I was hoping that nutmeat was like some kind of creamy nutty thing like peanut butter, which I prefer to nuts.

ita, I'm sorry if I came across snippy. I didn't mean to. I was just clarifying. In no way did I mean to imply it was a private conversation.

bon, you know peanut butter is just smooshed-up peanuts, right?
