I don't know if anyone knows him, but there are some folks around here with mad skillz in tracking down papers and journals.
Sorry there's so little else of that in our power to change.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

Oh, I can write him an email - there's an address next to the summery of the paper I'm interested reading - but there's a whole world of difference if that email comes with or without "she's OK" sort-of-seal of "please don't ignore this" approval.
I didn't mean know him in person, you know. Grr, sorry, don't have time to write this post in proper English. Have to go now.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I am such a committment-phobe that the idea of contemplating moving in with someone after only dating them for a month makes my eyes bug out in horror. I mean, sure, maybe idly thinking "Huh, our leases in a year end at the same time, I suppose that might theoretically be convenient", but not, like, SERIOUSLY thinking about it.
But like I said...I'm just almost five months into a relationship. It is already the second longest in-town relationship I've ever had. (I dated someone longer, but she lived in Minnesota while I lived in DC, so most of our relationship was a few weekends plus some IM...it really doesn't count...plus I knew I wanted to break up with her long before I actually got around to it).

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Oh man. Yesterday the temperature was 100F. Today was 110. That's the forecast for tomorrow and Friday too. I hate this weather. (Though at least I'm not on centre court.)
My Dilbert-style boss is down for the day tomorrow. He's at the tennis tomorrow afternoon. He couldn't have picked a better day for it.

By coincidence, I too am currently in my second-longest relationship ever.

Librarian Warlord
Shir, if you want me to write him a note from my official university librarian account asking for a copy of the paper, just let me know. I do that kind of thing all the time for students.
The sidewalks are skating rinks here, the roads are iffy. I have a dr's appt at 9 and the university is opening at 10. No one explained this to the dog, who got up at 6.
Have a great time on your date, omnis.

Mostly lurking...
I have a snow day from both school and work. I should be excited, and I kind of am, but ugh the reworking this is going to do in my schedule.
ETA: because, yes, I know it is all about me.

Hey. New board.
I posted Tech help in the wrong thread. Oops.
Thanks for the advice, all. I don't mean to give the impression that I'm planning to propose tomorrow, nor do I plan to do it if I think there's any doubt of happiness and longevity.
We know that our seriousness is moving with a speed an intensity outside the norm, and we've discussed it. To a large extent, we're both pretty confident that it's right. We're very smart people who want pretty much exactly the same things in life and our futures. We've discussed all of the things on the list for relationships that bonny posted a while back, and believe that we work down the line. We've both had some devastating past history that has made us both very sure what we're looking for, which is a big part of why both of us have been single for years but also helps explain why we're so comfortable with the idea of this relationship moving forward.
That said: we're planning on moving in together in April, but to an apartment I can technically afford on my own. I'll be the only one on the lease. There's an out, if an out must be had. I have no real plan to propose until we've been living together long enough to have a few of those hard times and for the sheen to wear off. I'm a bit romantic and impulsive, but I'm not actually crazy.
