[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I can't decide if I should grow my goatee back... I miss it.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Before I met TCG, I was very much resigned to the fact that I was going to be single for the rest of my life. I also thought I deserved to be.

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

I think our friends are terminally single because they sort of like it that way.

That's them. That's not me. I've been okay being single, let's be clear. But it's not been a goal of mine, save the times when I've been too broken to share these insides with anyone I'm not paying.

So for them it's because they sort of like it that way. For you and me it's because we're ugly?

Go goatee, choose goatee.

I was just talking about being single forever since I'm 0 for 3 on potential future wives.

t butting in

I'm single because I really don't know any other way. Choice? Sure. I chose not to expect anything other. I gave up on that long ago in my teens.

Doesn't mean I don't wonder. Doesn't mean I am not content with it, either.

At some point, I figured I'd be paired and have kids. At some point, I stopped expecting that.

I'm not resigned. If anything, I'm expectant that I'll remain single surrounded by people and kids I love and it'll be a rich life.

Doesn't stop me from reading cheesy romance or idle daydreaming, though.

And I react positively reactionary at the "Oh you'll find someone..." thing. Maybe I won't and IT'LL BE OK, OK!!?

I usually say future ex-wives

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm pretty sure I don't like being single. I know that I need to get out more to meet more people. I'm not sure about the party tomorrow -- it's really too hot to walk a mile from the metro to the house where it's being held -- but I think I'm going to try to get up in time to go to synagogue. Just need to get somewhere where I'll be with people.

Oh I know I don't like it. I think you should go to the Party. If anything at least it feelsl ike you are trying. Putting yourself out there.

That's how match.com keeps taking my money.

No, I'm using the term literally, arranged-marriage-style.
