That's so awesome, smonster. Yay some fun (even if not Twu Wuv) from OKC. :)
Also, I fully support the "he's cute, I'm fine, whatever!" theory. I've totally BTDT. Well, more "she's cute" but ya know.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Good luck Anne!! Kick but on the test!!
OK, I buy I am a cluttered order Muppet. So, I must keep an eye on my eyebrows. I did notice the other week, there was this ONE long eyebrow hair. Like a Donald Trump comb over of a single hair on the eyes. Really strange. Like, it grew over night.

ARGH. Speaking of OKCupid--girl from yesterday responded to my email--I had emailed after saying sorry if i kind of ran off, I was getting a migraine and went home and crashed, but I'd be up for a rematch, or I can just say hi next time I see you at (event we established we both attend, every few weeks)
Her response was "wait, you mean you kicked my ass at bananagrams with a migraine coming on? I may need some time before a rematch. :) And i wouldn't miss the (pride version of event in two weeks) for the world, so I'll see you then!"
...I'm GUESSING that means "no thanks, but you don't have to pretend to avoid me in the future"? Argh.

I am constantly getting Crazy-Old-Man-Eyebrow hairs. I am not vain enough to prevent me from admitting that I tweeze regularly to prevent Crazy-Old-Man-Eyebrows from forming.

Our wings are not tired.
Meara, I wouldn't take it that way at all. She sounds like she had fun with you.

Huh. I'm reading it as a friendly-but-not-interested. I need a Buffista ruling! :)
(I mean, I wasn't all "OMG she's the love of my life", but definitely cute enough that I had noticed her at a thing the week before, and hoped from her pictures she was the same person, and would be interested in going out again when I don't have a migraine and maybe with a bit of alcohol and touchy flirting...)

I'm GUESSING that means "no thanks, but you don't have to pretend to avoid me in the future"? ArghMeara, I wouldn't say that at all. I think she really liked you, and was pissed that you kicked her ass with a migraine. but the smiley face says it all. I say ask if she wants an escort to big shindig.
(Of course, I give the caveat that I am **horrible** at reading women. I mistake friendliness for flirting. And still haven't figured out when I am actually being flirted with)

I read it as complimenting your spicy brains and looking forward to seeing you again. She may have read you "rematch or just say hi" as being a bit equivocal and so might be following your lead.
meara - Jun 10, 2012 9:17:39 pm PDT #15081 of 30001
Sigh. And of course, in addition to trying to parse her response, I have to figure out what to respond to it! Without sounding weird or desperate or stalkery, because as I said, I know I'll run into her again...

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
So Merlin has started pooping behind the sofa. The Girl's friend recommended phoning the local cat shelter for advice - apparently they have pet behaviour specialists available to help people who have adopted animals. That's nice. Otherwise life is fairly normal, except that bag-of-nerves hates-public-speaking me has signed up for a research storytelling thing where, after a couple of workshops, I have to perform a story relating to my research. First workshop is tonight and I spent all of yesterday working on my story so it had better be OK. (I'm actually rather excited.)
Anne, good luck with your licencing exam!
Congrats, Sean!
smonster, I wish you unbelievably awesome and incredibly exciting meeting/dates with Marty Sue.
meara, I think she sounds interested, in a laid-back-for-now, see-how-it-goes way.
