Buffybot ,'Dirty Girls'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My Grandparents keep asking me if I have a GF. My Dad is in full player mode himself so he keeps encouraging me to go out and hook up with random girls. My mom knows I'll tell her if something happens (in some universe somewhere in another time-space).
The Grandparent thing is unnerving a bit. The last time we had a talk about it, they told me I had to name my daughter Celeste. It's some kind of family name.
Woot!
Apparently, I'm too special for the database to contain me.
The new shower curtain rod hasn't fallen down yet! I think that's a minor victory.
Why isn't it lunch time? I want Thai food.
The impact of my bright smile is diluted--I use it way too often. Especially considering I'm a misery-bearing git.
see, that's classy. you can answer it however you want.
She was a classy lady!
My grandmother couldn't keep up the "how's your social life" ficton. She'd ask the question in just that way, and I'd answer however I wanted, and then she'd say, "you know that's not the social life I'm asking about!"
Ah, grandma, classy as hell for one-and-a-half conversational exchanges.

Ha! Ah, grandmas. They're all the same underneath it all.
My mom knows I'll tell her if something happens (in some universe somewhere in another time-space).
It's exactly like that with my close family. If I have news, ANY kind of news, I'll tell. The rest is my business.
I think tonight I'll go between a short sharp "no" and hysterical giggling to answer that question.

Classic!
At Jewish weddings, people have a tendency to go over to the single folks, especially siblings of the bride or groom, and say "Im Yirtzeh Hashem (G*d willing), by you." It's pithy and borderline obnoxious, but that's how we are sometimes.
I had a friend who wore a pin to his brother's wedding that said "Im Yirtzeh Hashem, by me". Then when people approached, he'd simply reference the pin, smile and walk away.
I don't often smile brightly, so when I do, it tends to make people nervous.
...and suddenly I'm flashing on Addams Family Values. It's a good flash.
