(or something less southern)
No! Southernisms are the best. If you can't say something nice or profound make up a confusing metaphor!- as my grandmother used to say.
Mal: How drunk was I last night? Jayne: Well I dunno. I passed out.

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What Vortex said. I may just C&P that shit straight up!

(I didn't mean "shit" in a perjorative sense, btw, just being sorta slangy. It's really an excellent way of putting things.)

I like the email, too, vw. The only suggestion I have is that you put some kind of time frame on it -- "my schedule is fairly flexible for the next few weeks, but I'd really like to speak with you before (date) so I can think about this commitment." Or somesuch.
I didn't fall asleep in my meeting, but it was close.

Oh, no I didn't think you did. I used to feel like I owed it to someone to be his or her friend or girlfriend and would get really frustrated when they wouldn't behave according to whatever model of correct friend/boyfriend behavior I had in my head. Then I was told I couldn't make anyone behave that way, which made sense, but left me with several more years of frustration over whether or not my models of behavior were wrong and maybe I should just accept others for who they are and then something happened that made me go "Sure. I can't demand that you don't knowingly hurt me, but I have the right to want someone who won't."
