Yes, which is why I have sent many flirtatious PMs to NW Native in the minutes since you first admonished us.

I remember those flirtatious emails from when I was a newbie. I saved some. But now you never call, never write -- I guess NW Native is now the shiny new penny.

Yeah, and will you really be able to smash a crystal glass? That seems like the type of waste only a man could justify.

In our neck of the patch, light bulbs are more often used than a crystal glass. Easier to stomp on, I assume.

Why is that woman washing the other woman's feet? Is this a cultural thing?

I have no idea, I haven't seen that movie since like 1998.

Good question. I guess it would depend on who is the person who expects the other person to be obedient in the relationship, and whether there is, in fact, anyone who is expected to be obedient in the relationship. I'm not really very good at doing what people tell me to do.

Seems like your most difficult task will be finding a Jewish doctor named Bunny. I'm guessing there aren't many of those. or is Bunny a pet name?

Yeah that is gonna be tough. I'd better start looking now. That means I'll have to dump the present doctor, because she is not named Bunny and also, not Jewish.

And I finally just got my apartment the way I like it, and we all know Bunny is going to make me change it. Or buy a house or something, and she won't like my furniture and will insist on new stuff.

Just tell Bunny that you love her but you're not putting up with her My Little Pony shit. That should take care of it.

As for wedding gifts, do you have a camcorder?

I am thinking with a name like Bunny, she might be high maintenance.

In fact, I do have a camcorder. I use it to film protesting homophobes.

Should you become addicted, I have about a dozen tins that I would be willing to share. But you have to come and get them.

Confidentail to leagl:

I think SS wants you to use it to film some stuff for a homo-fan.

Ouch! The symbolism here is overwhelming. Are you really that anti-Christian?

It wasn't freakin' baby Jesus--just a blank glass sphere you pick up at crafts stores to paint.

But yes, generally. Do I get points for not breaking the commandment against lying?

And what will I call this woman while we are in the process of getting domestic partnered? I mean do I call her my fiance? My soon to be DP? Hi Hank, meet my soon to be DP, Bunny. We are registered at Pottery Barn. We really need plates. We are also registered at Good Vibrations. We really need a strap-on. Stay away from the Lennox though please.

And will I be a Mrs. then? Or can I stay a Ms? And do I need to get an engagement ring, or can I just wear a wedding band?

Help me Debt Slave, please help me. Maybe we should write a book to answer all these questions so everyone knows now, before it gets out of control?

I wanted more sex in that sleazy pulp story, but o well.

We should write a book. You don't need to register. One of you doesn't have to wear a "ladies tux" or other abomination. You don't need attendants in matching polyester pastels. You don't need to be walked down the aisle or given away. You never, ever, have to discuss your reproductive plans or capacities with anyone.

So far as I am concerned, you may call her your fiancee, or by her name, as you (and she) wish, or can say you are "engaged to be domestic partners" if you don't want to invoke M-related words (or if NJ comes up with some non-marriage alternative). You won't be a Mrs., on US courtesy title conventions, unless you use your spouse's full name (you would become "Mrs. Bunny Lastname"), so you would remain "Ms." under traditional conventions anyway. You don't need to take each other's name. You don't need an engagement ring, or even a wedding band, unless you want one.

All you need to get married, or domestic partnered, is a consenting partner and a license. With how slow and backward the states are on the licensing part I nearly consider that optional.

Unceremoniously edumped FBA again.

BRC:

She suffers from "I Have To Be Completely Honest About My Feelings" disease, which is not a good sign in general
...
declining steps of formality...

If she were being completely honest, she would have spelled out her reservations I think.

BRC, on the declining steps, if email is more formal than phone calls since email is quasi-written, then would her email response to my last phone message fall within the rules? I agree with y'all who said it was cowardly for her not to call me back.

PP:

Dont EVER send someone the "I wantd to make sure you were ok" email bc its passive aggressive for "why are you vanishing on me?" with a desperate hint of "I want you to think I am worried you are dead so you might get around to replying"
....

TM:

No, stupid. You shouldn't even have emailed her back a second time. [Edited to add, why wouldn't you use the phone? Always use the phone.]

I didn't EMAIL her a second time. Both times I CALLED and left phone messages. The reason I left the "let me know you're OK" phone message was a bit devious on my part. On our first lengthy date, she had told me about a guy she dated for awhile who she was getting serious with, and how they would spend weekends together and talk every day. Then he disappeared without a word to her. She told me after she didn't hear from him for awhile she called and left him a message asking him to contact her, since she was "genuinely concerned" about him. My phone message was giving her a taste of her own medicine, which I didn't think was so bad when she did it.

TM:

What is there to say? "Pleeeeeeeeeease? Pretty please?" You're an idiot for asking the question. (Perfect use of the anon function.) Be a fucking man. Hell, if she did change her mind and decided to go out with you again, she already knows she can do whatever she wants to you. You've effectively castrated yourself.

I love you TivoBoy, don't ever change.

leagl:

Dude, if you were my friend, and you came whining into my office like this, I would tell you to pick your balls up the floor and put them back in your pants. This would be after I whacked you upside the head

said the lesbian to the metrosexual. Where do you get your balls? Leagl, I think I love you more.

and I am being productive, I thought I would post about last night's viewed reality television

Saw the surreal life two (in part). Ron Jeremy is timeless- the man doesnt age. Trishelle is white(!), Tracy Bingham probably used to be black before all her work, and Vanilla Ice is indeed Corey Feldman, Whie the interaction is entertaining I dont think it will be week in and week out.

Average Joe Two. Well it was fattie eliminatino day last night and it was telling. The five foot six, two hundred pounder knew he was shopping out of his league and wasnt upset. The Italian fattie was bitter bc he didnt understand the concept and consiered it fatism. What's next? Uglyism? That guy David must be an actor, right down to the glasses, the wig and the fake bad teeth. Unfortunately, this show isnt going to be as compelling as the first one bc the hottie is hotter while the joes are uglier and nerdier and the gap is just too insurmountable. Not an Adam in the bunch that I could discern. This version is closer to what I think Plain Jane would be like- just painful and sad to watch for the guys while the viewer knows that no Joe can win.

But one can always hope that maybe the hottie men on the boat will be so unbearably narcissistic (case in point, the guy talking about his abs- who cares!) that the hottie chick will choose nobody. The Spinster Show!
