I'm an hour late, but Happy Birthday, Barb!
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Oh, smonster. You so deserve this vacation.
Ghosts and demons. General symbol of purity.
So confused. Actually, not really confused. Just knows I'll be trying very hard in the future not to laugh my ass off while studying over and over how spices were considered as symbol of richness, while picturing men in togas passing the/paying in salt all around.
As for the alarmed doors - I swear I caught it myself from some TV show/internet speak. Can't remember where. I knew it was slang, but I didn't know it was wrong.
I woke up late today. Will need to make up for it in much studying over the weekend.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Should i be slightly wierded out if i'm planning to meet someone from match.com and he suggests meeting at a Cold Stone Creamery? (" I am guessing you haven't been to one. Good little summer stop. You can choose their creations or make your own. Also have smoothies if you'd rather go that route. Just looking at their offerings makes me want some of that frozen goodness right now.")
I mean seriously, we live in Portland, a veritable haven for coffee lovers and foodies and his suggestion is a national ice cream chain? (I might be slightly more squicked that expected due to my lactose intolerance). Would it be rude to counter-suggest with a place i might actually enjoy? He seemed really awesome until that suggestion. *frown*

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.
erin_o, if that were my prospective date, I'd be all over him (or at least his choice of locations). Of course, I love ice cream, and ice cream loves me back. I do not think his choice is irrational. However, you should definitely counter with a choice that makes you happier. I'm sure there has to be somewhere in Portland that you both will, if not love, at least not hate.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
It won't be rude. But turning down ice cream, well, that's blasphemy in my book.
But oh, Portland. Loved the coffee-bakeries there, very much. Especially the one next to Powell's books.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
I met someone from OKC at my local ice cream shop, mostly because the people at the shop all know me by name (yes, really!) so I figured that was a good, safe spot. I don't think your prospective date would be unhappy with an alternative, especially with an intolerance for dairy.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Texas state fair announced we will have fried beer and fried margaritas this year (as well as fried frito pie). Blech.
