I have now responded to 15 apartment ads. One person got back to me.
Book: I believe I just... I think I'm on the wrong ship. Inara: Maybe. Or maybe you're exactly where you ought to be.

[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.

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

Grah. Keep at it, and think of it as, uh, making your choice easier by limiting your options. I hope the one person who got back to you has an awesome apartment.

I was reading Dear Prudence over on Slate, and the porn question came up, ie, "My boyfriend is reading porn! Why is he doing such a horrible thing? Doesn't he love me, aren't I enough?" etc.
Given who we are, I'm assuming that most of us don't think porn is a relationship-destroying evil, but that is an assumption. What do others make of the "porn is horrible" issue? I always want to stand up and say "Does that include gay porn? Does hot guy-on-guy action objectify women too?"

Two people got back to me! I'm getting the feeling I may need to compromise on my "apartment must have a dishwasher" stance.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh. Me too.

This reminds me of my high school girlfriend. She thought that women couldn't masturbate, so she said it wasn't fair if I masturbated, and if I did masturbate then it'd be OK for her to sleep with other guys.
I didn't know enough to correct her on the "women can't masturbate" thing so I just lied and said I wouldn't do it anymore.

She thought that women couldn't masturbate
That poor woman.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
She thought that women couldn't masturbate, so she said it wasn't fair if I masturbated, and if I did masturbate then it'd be OK for her to sleep with other guys.
As one who was, late to the game shall we say? I still call bullshit on that reasoning. I mean, that's just ...

Rock! Are you going to be able to make a visit to see places? When I went apartment hunting, I took a sheet of paper and drew out the floor plan and made notes about things I liked and didn't like so I wouldn't forget, since I was seeing six or seven apartments in a week.

I don't have a dishwasher. My sink is currently full of dishes.

I have a dishwasher. It's called a housemate.
