Hooray for bedroom reclamation! My suitcase was so tired of waiting for me to put it back in the garage after my vacation (in August!) that it went off to Hawaii without me.
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I unpacked my books today. And bought two pairs of shoes. And stuff at Target. And books. And I still feel bored and unaccomplished. Ridiculous!!
But I got a cute email from one girl. Though I still don't know what she LOOKS like, so it could fizzle quickly. And haven't heard from the one who canceled for today, so maybe he's just a jackass.
Harumph.

he must be if he passed on a date with you, meara.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Go KT! Wish some of that cleaning energy would rub off on me.
Never too much cheese, tho at scalding hot temps, I did once curse the cheese even tho it was my fault for burning my mouth. I felt very bad and apologized by eating the whole pizza. Ick on clams as a topping.
I'm trying to do a lil cat nap thing. In 3 hours we leave for the airport. Not tired, so plan not working. Hopefully tiredom won't set in until we are on the plane. Not looking forward to 90 min drive down @ 4am.

OK, question: is there a good way to say to someone you've exchanged like, three emails with "gosh, your picture is very pretty but you are SO NOT MY TYPE"?
Cause this girl emailed me, and was a little weird anyway, and then I was like "Um, and you mention you're girly?" and she was like "Well, only on the outside, I'm very butch on the inside (blah blah fix cars)" and linked to a picture...where she's very pretty, very girly, and has long blonde hair.
Which is gorgeous. But so doesn't do it for me. I'm like "Uhhhhh...see, in the ad I said I was looking for someone butch or FTM? I, um, meant it?"

"I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world"
Flattery is sometimes the best policy. Mention how beautiful she is and that her interest is flattering, but that you think you two may not be the best match.

The status is NOT quo.
meara, is it worth meeting her first?
meara - Nov 11, 2007 8:33:58 pm PST #3501 of 10002
Yeah. I guess it's easier that she really is very pretty, and just not my type. As opposed to someone who is, in theory, my type, and just not cute! :)
(EDIT: I wrote and explained that she's very pretty but not my romantic type, and if she's looking for friends I need those too, so we'll see. Definitely no spark of "ooooh" though, for me. And pretty damn rare I feel that about any femmey girls)
Also, WTF are the people upstairs playing? It's very...bass-filled. And annoying. This place isn't toooo bad on the sound transmission, but the vibrations come through really easily (oddly, I hear the vibrations of their alarm clock in the morning, but no sound. Luckily, it's usually right around when mine is going off)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Now I'm wondering if I'm too femme for meara.
Which is a weird thing to wonder, and so there's absolutely no need to answer.
In a world that's more black and white than Kinsey-scaled, would you say a gay guy who's willing to make out with a woman (and who doesn't hate it) is bisexual? Similarly a straight woman who'll make out with a woman but has no interest in having sex with her or any other female?
In my head it's very possible to kiss outside one's orientation without shifting said orientation one bit.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
and linked to a picture...where she's very pretty, very girly, and has long blonde hair.A type is a type. She might be quite lovely but it's not sounding lovematchy. Sounds like you played it well.
Also, WTF are the people upstairs playing? It's very...bass-filled. And annoying.Your upstairs are my downstairs. Let's spork them?
