oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Huh. I didn't date a lot and probably wouldn't again. I like people but being on can be painful. There are two characteristics that the good dates had in common 1) smart , book readers 2) they drank less than me.

I think no drama and no games might have some validity if we are talking manipulative/secretive behavior. But I also think that they might also be code for no complex emotions. And some issues are more complex for women ( how many men get pregnant?)so somethings aren't quite yes or no.

wow - those cakes look great, if not quite like food.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Are there any mathematicians or physicists who read Ted Chiang in the audience? I'd like to know how much of the mathematics he's presenting is true, and how much is fictional.

Our wings are not tired.

It's my general belief that the same people who use phrases like "I don't want any drama" are, in fact, the same people who are committing the "drama". For men and women, and not just when it comes to dating.

Skipping yet-again-oh-sigh because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Scrappy's birthday.

Happy birthday, Scrappy! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

It's my general belief that the same people who use phrases like "I don't want any drama" are, in fact, the same people who are committing the "drama". For men and women, and not just when it comes to dating.

In terms of the search for a relationship, I find this 'no drama' phrase entirely odd. It's like putting down a requirement for a relationship without another person involved. It's a relationship, people. There will be sodding drama.*

*Admittedly, I may have been dating girls for too long.
