Ironic, right, because "the old fashioned way" in so many cultures, throughout history, was indeed getting set up by your parents.
But good for you, P-C. You're coming into your own.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

[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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I know, right? If my mom were known for her scintillating wit, she would have shot back, "This IS the old-fashioned way!"
But good for you, P-C. You're coming into your own.
That was not how I envisioned that conversation going. I had been putting it off since last week, and I had this whole thing where I was going to calmly quit the process instead of get all emotional like I always do, but I am seriously, seriously, seriously tired of her constantly assuming that the reason I'm resistant to an arranged marriage is because I have some secret girlfriend because if it weren't for her constant oppression and brainwashing, I might actually be capable of having a functional relationship with a woman. I've missed out on all the regular mating rituals during my development process. I don't know how to do any of it.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
You're doing a good job, P-C. Hang in there.
Kitty is so wee that I am sitting upright and she is perched on my boobs and one shoulder.

MAKE THE SNOW STOP. MAKE. IT. STOP. We have no more room for any more snow ever ever ever. None zero nada zip. And squat for good measure. NO it is not allowed to snow on Tuesday. Just. No.
::ahem:: ok better now.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I tried to use Orajel on my wisdom tooth socket. It worked, but also numbed about a third of my tongue. This feels weird.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
smonster, I'm so glad you took foster kitty to the vet. Poor wee thing. Many hugs for you and her.
P-C, I hope you feel better soon - physically and emotionally.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Help. Get me off this phone. She. Um. No!
I should explain.
On the phone with okcupid gal that I'm supposed to have a date with on Saturday. a) she LOVES Fox News. b) she doesn't know what NPR is. c) Her favorite tv show is Fox Sports. She got mad at her kid for deleting the pre-game show, because she wanted to hear the banter of Terry and the guys.

That is pretty scary, o_a. I do know successful couples with vastly different political opinions and interests. It depends on how many checks you have in the Pro column. If it is all crazy making, then cancel.
