looking for a "real man."

Seems like that could mean all sorts of different things depending on the woman in question, unless she just means 'no lesbians in disguise'.

Oh, juliana!

I never remember my dreams, and yet I know you were in a dream of mine a few nights ago. In English.

I was sooooo tired, I had to put an alarm clock in order to make sure I wake up early enough (usually, if I get enough sleep, I can get along without one). Usually when I sleep with an alarm clock ticking next to me, I wake up a few minutes before the alarm clock goes off, but this time I was so tired, I didn't do even that. The screaming of the clock was what woke me up.

And then, still three-quarters asleep, I told myself, in English (!) "that's OK. juliana will do my makeup".

So I have no idea what's that got to do with anything, if the dream was in fact in English, what on earth was going on there and why, but still, you're the only juliana I know, and it was definitely you who'd do my makeup and make things OK (and, um, I never wear any makeup, too).

Where was the Chartreuse? Now that is a drink that takes some cojones to drink.

That's what I'm talking about! Grass gone bad from being wet and sitting in the sun to long, then chilled and put in a bottle. Yum!

I like Jager, but I drink it straight. Mixing is cheating.

I don't see squashed strawberry alleycat on that list. If you're actually going to make a manly drink list, it should be devoid of fruit or dairy, IMO.

The age of consent in Canada has risen to 16. It doesn't say if the age for gay sex has changed.

I can't fully endorse that opinion, but I am surprised that a Tequila Sunrise took it over a real margarita (i.e., lime-based and not frozen).

Heh.

Damn, I don't want to do anything. I just want to take a nap! Big greasy lunch was possibly not the best choice. BUT! At least they didn't have the calories on the menu.

W/r/t fruit and dairy, I just mean ingredients intended to sweeten or mask the alcohol in the drink.

I agree that cocktails are dodgy for manliness in general, and adding anything to make the alcohol go down easier is just cheating and ungentlemanly.

I have these two lovely pairs of shoes that I've had for years now and never worn because they were always a touch tight. But I love them! I tried stretching them and it never quire worked. I'm finally today taking them by the shoe repair place in my office building and finding out if there's any stretch in them for real. Shiny patent flats! Gold brocade ballet flats! ::sigh:: I fully expect to fail, and am sad in advance. ::sniff::
