Congrats, Gud!
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I always complimented women that I was courting, but always used it as a way to say, "I now what you value." Usually personal style, though with ita I would've said, "You have a thoroughly geeky and well considered collection of blades."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Sexytimes: Wow, y'all are parsing it rather fine. Whatever happened to Sifu Jesse's wise words, "Different people like different shit"?
Wow, we all just like to talk a lot. About everything. Please to not marginalize someone's -- and I mean *my* -- sexuality by dismissing it as "parsing it rather fine" and "different people like different shit."
We talk. A lot. About things on which people differ. If we summed everything up as "different people like different shit," we wouldn't need this message board.

Awesome, Gud!
All my successful, uh, interludes have commenced with either a backhanded compliment/foot-in-mouth or fairly obnoxious aggressive bantering. Which is to say I have a type. And since I don't find that particularly healthy for me long term (short term is fine. Any more than that, exhausting,) I only give into it where I extricate effortlessly and there's a built in expiration date. And I am not looking for anything more.

Yay job, Gud!

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

Yay Gud!
This conversation about sexuality is fascinating to me. Please keep being talky-meat.

Aaaand my geriatric cat just farted in my face as the kitten barfed up the grass he ate earlier.
I don't want a partner, romantic or otherwise. I want elves. Cat-cleanup elves. And maybe handyman elves.

Wow, what? I'm not marginalizing or dismissing anything. You can be any flavor of the rainbow you please as you define it. I'm not putting you in a box or defining it or denying it. All I said was that as the gradations of taxonomy become so distinct as to define your own personal space it is no different than saying, "You like what you like." The DSM does not go down that far because ultimately individuals prefer things which define them as individuals. Or, you know, what Jesse said.

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