So, what would you say to an icecream? Other than "Hello, icecream. I regret that our acquaintance is to be so fleeting."
Clearly he's an axe-murderer who's planning to off our Fay before she finishes her ice-cream.
...
What?
...
So I'm a little protective of our cuddly wee scrumptiously complex Fay. What of it?
Don't do it, Fay! Online dating never works out!
It's also a way to judge character. Beware of someone who always orders the same ice cream. Be even more leery of someone who can't decide what he wants.
This bit of advice has made me strangely self-doubtful. DH tends to always order the same ice cream. And I have to walk past the displays of flavors at least twice to make up my mind what to order. What does it all mean?
THat is, btw, a very fine request for your company, Fay. If you don't go out for ice cream, you will have to wonder "what if we had fancied each other" FOREVER.

DH has a Motorola Q and is quite happy with it, Cashmere. Except that it beeps every half hour (possibly every hour) and he doesn't know why or how to turn it off. Not, I am sure, the machine's fault.
Oh, hey, I don't think I've actually posted it yet today.
Happy birthday, Jessica!
Happy birthday, Jessica! The Chinese for 'turtle' is guī. Y'know, in case you were wondering.
Right. Okay. I should email him.
Yes! do it NOW!
(I am reluctantly checking out the online dating thing again and may need similar encouragement. Although, it's not like dudes are lining up at my e-door cutely asking me to go get delicious treats. and, goddamn, Baltimore has got to be the smallest city in all the world.)
oh dear lord. What do you SAY to someone when you're responding to their personal ad???? Especially when, odds are, you know them or know someone who knows them.

Aw, bless you, Mr Reason! I could threaten him with Peevish Looming if he produces an axe -
that'll
keep him in line, for sure.
Fay, you
must
write him back. That's not only the best ice cream invitation I have ever heard, it's the most Fay-compatible I could possibly imagine.
