"Self-referential comedy is getting a bit dull," said The Girl (after laughing a lot) when I showed her this.

I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

[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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
{{Nora}} You're grandmother needs to stay upright for a few days at least. Heavens.
Yay, Shir! I hope you hear a big YES very soon.
ERIN!!! Go you! So happy for you and Dan.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah.
So apparently my awkward and rambly voicemail was not endearing, and my current potential future wife is now none of those things. This after getting vaguely excited about her but then realizing that none of the girls my parents have set me up with have actually liked me.
They've given up and have decided that a girl from India is more likely to accept me in alfm sdkl thgggdfion
Shit, I'm crying, and I'm supposed to be working and being productive.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm sorry, P-C. Did you two even meet? Remember all the people who do like you, don't go thinking we're all wrong!

Yeah, but you don't want to marry me. Well, Trudy might, for the lulz.

Women who have never met you not wanting to marry you doesn't really say anything about you, is all I'm saying. Having a good cry and being a little bitter I can understand.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Yay Erin!!
{{{ Nora & G'ma & family}}}
Happy b-day gamemeister Billy Tea!!!
Shir, shifting from interview~ma to get-the-gig~ma!! Sounds encouraging!!
P-C, can a family member lobby for you. Try to arrange a f2f? Maybe that will help her see you are a swell guy. Say to family "I really like her, but I think I messed up".

I'm sorry, P-C. I was thinking the voicemail was a bad idea. Didn't you ever see the movie Swingers?
