(c) Wait?
I'd say this. You've given him a lot to think about there - I woudn't be surprised if he needs a little time to process and think about next steps. I would mention it to him when you get in , though, and ask if you can maybe set up a time to discuss.
Timelies, all!!
But I don't think I could wear pink fishnets with a brown tweed skirt.
Do it!
(Seriously, I love this look. Pink and brown together work great, especially with a combination like tweed and fishnets. It's perfect.)
I'm wearing pink and brown today. AIFG! (Pink sweater, brown pants with a cream pin stripe)
The first 10 days in January have royally sucked. Lost my boyfriend, got a bad cold and lost my voice, and just the other night I lost my hard drive
{{d}} No more nasties for you this year. It is so decreed.
Friend of mine used to date a guy who had ... um ... a foot fetish
I used to date a guy with a foot fetish. It really wasn't bad or even all that weird. The up side is that he frequently bought me shoes. Of course, many of them could not be worn in public. Or even standing up for that matter.
Most, he added, are under 40, women who as recently as a year ago would no more have thought of buying a slip than of wearing a hoop skirt.
I wear my hoop skirt much more frequently than a slip.
Last night was the first night of class for this semester. I'm only taking one: Intro. to Linguistics. So far, I like the teacher because she makes geeky word jokes that, unfortunately, most of the class doesn't get. Our big assignment for the semester is a transcription project where we have to record 15-20 minutes of every day conversation between 2-4 people and do several bits of analysis including orthographic, phonetic, and phonemic transciptions; analyzing the morphemes, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, etc. It looks to be a very interesting project.
One thing that she said last night struck me funny, tho. She was talking about this project and saying how she wanted every day conversation to show how the way we speak doesn't fit the nice rules most of the time and that was part of the challenge of the project. Then she said, "You'd be hard-pressed to find a group of your friends who could carry on a perfectly grammatically correct conversation for 15 to 20 minutes. I might could do it. And..." then she scanned the room and pointed at me, "you might. But it would be difficult."
Now, the woman had laid eyes on me for all of 90 minutes at that point and I had only made about 3 short comments, so how in heavens name would she know that about me?
re: Indigo Children
Ms. Jackson compared people who do not recognize indigos to Muggles, the name used by J. K. Rowling in the Harry Potter books to describe ordinary people who have no connection with magic. "I would say 90 percent of the world is like the Muggles," she said. "You don't talk about this stuff with them because it's going to scare them."
"Enormous eye-roll" is a fear response?
I might could do it.
I think she just made her point.

Lots and lots of analysis of recorded conversations.
Also, did she really use "might could" in that instance? It's one of my favorite constructions, but it's hardly standard (or even heard outside the south).

Sighhh...
I need a man who wants to rub my feet and give me pedicures... as long as he wants to screw too.

I'm quoting from memory, so I doubt she used that phrase. Being from the South, it is a phrase I do use, though, so it's probably my wording and not her's.

He used to give great foot rubs and would pay for my pedicures. Again, there are definite up sides.
