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.

The Boy is a vegetarian, but he not only doesn't mind if I eat meat, he has been known to cook bacon for me.
He eats dairy and eggs, as well as shrimp and crawfish (the logic, such as it is, behind those 2 crustaceans is that he's faster than they are [I know, I know, what about clams, etc.? He has no answer for that]). And he'll eat any meat that he's killed or had a hand in killing (venison, etc., from hunting -- he just objects to factory farms).

Hee! Yeah, there's more to it than just the pre-set, but it was the tipping point. I met him using one of the online dating sites, and our first phone call (which, sadly was after we'd already made plans to meet...so I felt like I needed to go through with it) began with him saying, "I can't believe you love the Beatles! I totally love them too! They're rad."
I am still perplexed as to why he thought it a celebratory and rare occasion to come across another person who liked the Beatles. I mean, it's not like they're some obscure Hungarian folk foursome.
