Years ago that sorta' applied to me.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
And then there's "nice" in the Good Omens sense, and precise and accurate can have their uses. Still, it's not at the top of my Looking For list.
I'm probably looking for a genuinely nice guy with a dry sense of humor and a motorcycle.
Given my dating history for the past decade, I should probably just get myself a motorcycle and be done with it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Everyone's a mess when they're young, aren't they? For the most part, I mean.

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

Not me. I was perfect.
Well, you can't lose at a game you won't play. And I didn't really play in the relationship space. Well, still don't, really. But for different reasons, possibly including habituation. And migraines. Not that I wouldn't. I just haven't, exactly.

Huh. Years ago I got freaked out by guys I knew who got into bad motorcycle accidents. So no motorcycle for me - at least until I move to a place less urban than Chicago.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Not me. I was perfect.
Why do you give us set-up lines like that one? Why?

Clearly you need to cultivate an edge, Tom. Have you considered metallic studs implanted in your scalp?

Yup, me too. Took me a while to realise that being a hyper passive-aggressive son of a bitch didn't really make me "nice".
