I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

Hey Jilli! I saw this and thought you should totally have one!

Eeeee! Oh, that is darling. And from way way back, the photos of Noah in his Jack Skellington outfit were super-cute.

my little cottage has been lost! LOST! Gosh-derned cat bigots.

So, um, do all realtors charge you a fee comparable to one months rent if they get you a place? Because I just found this out from an overly honest (it seems) Century 21 realtor.

Jesus. In Chicago it's free (for the renter) but I know this is one of those things that varies hugely in different regions/cities.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In NYC, if you use a broker, you generally pay from one month's rent to 15% of the annual rent. It's a total racket.

Kambriel (the designer friend who made it for me) is a GENIUS. I have been coveting a stripy dress for ages and ages, and she made the perfect one for me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yeah, brokers' commission of 10-15% of annual rent is typical in NYC.

I think that cooking a vegan meal would be an enjoyable challenge, i mean, it certainly wouldn't stop me from inviting a vegan to dinner.

During Lent, JZ goes vegan and I cook for her. Not too complicated. Stir fry is just bam bam bam. I marinate the tofu first and she's got her protein too.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm not vegan, but I've been a vegetarian since I was 18 (20 years), and a pescatarian the last few years (I added fish and shellfish to my diet). I've always dated omnivores and we do just fine.

My housemate tries to cook the bacon and other really strong-scented foods when I am out of the house (I am rarely home), which is nice of him but not required. My current boyfriend orders whatever he wants, whenever he wants when we're in restaurants. But at home we always eat seafood and/or veggies.

I could see that things could get more complicated if we have kids. But for now, it's pretty easy.

I DID once not call a guy back after date #2 because one of his radio presets was for the local "smooth jazz" station.

What?

oh, that's mean. :) I can see how he might have thought that it was innocuous. But, it certainly should have prompted a music discussion.
