Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There are plenty of people I find objectively attractive that I wouldn't want to date, for a variety of reasons.

Well, outside of the fact that right now I'm in no shape to date anyone for reasons that are all about me, I use the term attractive to encompass want to date. So it may just be a semantic thing. I don't want to date every guy I find sexy, or sleep with every guy I find sexy, but if there's that pull on a number of levels that includes a yearning to just spend time and seek/provide comfort, then if I'm in dating shape (single, etc) I'd want to date them.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

So based on meara's definition I'm a cradle robber. And, well, yeah, been called that one before.

Oh well. Some people just have issues.

Does the term cradle robber come with a value judgment, meara?

Not in my case. It's just fun to say. Like "living in sin" I don't care, I just enjoy the phrase.

Timelies, Buffistas.

Work. Don't wanna.

Edit: I think I just understood this week HOW MUCH I COULD USE A VACATION. Even just a day off would make things so much better.

Alas, the best chance for me to get that break won't be until May 7th. So right now, I'm just gonna make myself ice tea and dream of lack of responsibility and hanging out with friends.

I'm going to run away to OSV this afternoon, with friends and their kids, which should be ultra-fun! And yet I will dutifully be able to attend part of my class in the morning, so my guilt should be minimal....

I'm still reading the comments, but this response to the boobies thing so far has me nodding like a bobblehead.

I've been so many of you in the past few hours.

No wonder I'm feeling a little bit confused and amused.

Oh, thanks tiggy! I hope you'll have a great day, and that you'll feel better.

And sorry about the laptop crap.
