I like the latter two best, o_a. How unified will everything else be? A smaller place cn look larger if you keep one basic decorating theme going. But if you're changing colors and furniture styles throughout, having the same light fixtures everywhere might look like you hit a sale a little bit hard.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

[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!
so what is your brother going to do? will the wedding be delayed?
I don't know. They've already done a lot of the planning for October, but his father-in-law says that if there's any chance of salvaging the relationship, they should try.

I'm up and dressed in mu work out clothes, but we are having a seriously freaky thunderstorm outside so I am goong to wait a bit before heading to the gym.
P-C, how long until your brother finishes his degree? His future in-laws sound like wonderfully understanding people.

He'll finish next May.

They're good people, yeah.

I'm waffling between "compromise good" and "give them and inch and they'll take a mile." Perhaps Parents of Cow will be happy that their concerns are addressed, perhaps they'll go "Hm, what else can we ask for?"
You're a brave man to throw this all out for semi-public consumption, Polter.

I get that, but I'm of a mind that any capitulation to this kind of ridiculous blackmail is just going to embolden your parents to do it even more.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
o_a, I try to keep fixtures and such the same or similar within rooms, but not throughout my whole house. That seems too restrictive to me.

I don't think I've ever gone into anyone's house and thought, "Hm, those lights are just like the ones in the living room."

Me either.
I have been to the gym! I feel like I need a gold star or something. It was a smaller place than what I am used to, but I think there is enough equipment there to make it worth it.
