Girls. Apparently it's still on the guy, even in 2012.
Oh, for fuck's sake. Woman up, chicks. @@
Spike: I'm not a monster. Xander: Yes! You are a monster. Vampires are monsters! They make monster movies about them! Spike: Well, yeah. Got me there.

[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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Seconded.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Don't tell her she's Princess Dobbycry. Not yet anyway.
Now I have this image of P-C presenting her with a sock with a note attached saying "If you love someone, set them free".

Seconded. I think I've mentioned before, Biyi was the one who approached me when we were online dating.
Of course, now you have her number anyway. So that's nice.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Actually, she didn't send out numbers, just e-mail addresses. But I will drop her a re-introductory line and test the waters before jumping to asking things.

Ahahaha.
I sent Z (current guy) the first message. I message guys first all. the. time.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Yeah, I was the one who messaged M first. Plenty of women don't mind making the first move. And good on you, P-C! I'm glad you went, and you got to spend some time talking with someone. Maybe you made a friend, maybe more, maybe nothing will come of it, but it's all good practice. ...Which I realize I hated people saying to me when I was single and despairing of my love life, but what do you know, it turned out to be true. Anyway, I hope you go to the next one (it'll be free, after all!).

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Hey, she just sent out the contact list!
Look at that! Definitely e-mail her back, low-key, reintroduce yourself, mention the games or whatnot, see what transpires.

Also this. Unless you marry Princess Dobbycry in the interim. Which could happen. And I'd like an invitation.

I e-mailed back (the science/history thing is a reference to the Nerd Bingo):
Hey, [Princess Dobbycry]! It was great to meet you last night, and I enjoyed the (too) little time we had together. I hope you didn’t come home to a kitchen full of exploding yogurt or something. I’m still not quite sure how a yogurt machine works, but I am sure it involves a science- or history-related field.
What have you been up to today? Anything exciting? (I haven’t been doing anything particularly interesting besides doing the dishes, folding laundry, reading and writing about comics, and waiting for Breaking Bad, so you have a low bar to beat.)
No response after three hours. MAYBE SHE HATES ME. (That is my default reaction to no response, don't worry.)

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
P-C, maybe she's sitting at her computer, freaking out about how this cool guy emailed her and she doesn't know what to say. Maybe she's doing laundry. Maybe she's on an internet blackout while the Olympics are airing. Maybe she had to get online to squee to all of her internet friends.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
P.-C., it takes me at least a day to compose a reply that doesn't make me feel like I'm either the biggest neediest loser on the planet, or a total nutball. She could be rewriting her reply to make sure she doesn't put you off. Or, maybe she hasn't read her email yet.
