Y'all
This girl
The one I went to the Korean place with a couple weeks back? And she brought me pastries from her trip?
She used to sing in a black metal band
She builds and paints Viking-style shields
She wants to start training for the WWE
I'm in some real trouble here, folks
It's a shame I didn't get to know her better back when we were at school together
It's also a real shame
About that boyfriend of hers
god damnit GG, I made an audible groan at the end of this post
"Grey Ghoooost" in the voice you use when the kitten has played too intensely with the box of tissues.
Huh, I missed this love thread for almost two weeks. Go figure!
Love thread, I'm being irrationally anxious about my beautiful fiance because we just got a new cat and we have to keep them separated at night because they like to bite each others faces which means I've been sleeping on the couch so the one cat doesn't whine and scratch at the bedroom door.
It's a comfortable couch! But I miss seeing her adorable sleeping face when I wake up in the morning, and she hasn't been missing me in the bed (because I sleep poorly and constantly toss and turn, whatever, she snores.)
Everything is good but I'm needlessly anxious.
Also gotta plan a wedding but it's so much work and uuuugh.

I'm sure it's actually rubbish, but I thought I read somewhere that ecologists aren't exactly sure what mosquitoes are good for and that it may be a net positive if it were somehow possible to eradicate them.
I was just out with this girl for like 8 hrs if you count the movie time
And I was out with her for like 5 hrs on tuesday
And there was much smoochin both times n such, tho nada mas
and yet I have self doubt
like i was not very forward or anything idk
and i dunno sometimes my brain was like
i dunno ARE WE GETTIN ALONG
I'm sure it's actually rubbish, but I thought I read somewhere that ecologists aren't exactly sure what mosquitoes are good for and that it may be a net positive if it were somehow possible to eradicate them.
A quick google search turns up this as the source. The gist is more or less that removing mosquitoes would have some impact on the ecosystem, but there's disagreement as to how much and whether or not it would be worth the changes in exchange for the human health benefits.
At any rate, the total eradication of mosquitoes is impossible anyway, at least for now.

There was a paper that asserted this but it made a LOT of very dubious assumptions. Got a lot of media traction though, so it'll be half-remembered as fact for basically ever.

And if there's anything I'm good at, it's half-remembering things.
But yeah, a statement like that definitely sets off the "dubious assertion" alarms, but goodness me mosquitoes are bad enough that it'd be nice if it were true and feasible. (Which, yeah, even if it were wiping out such a prolific insect species seems basically impossible.)
Wasn't this specifically about the Anopheles mosquito
That mosquito is already subject to extensive control measures in places where it is a vector for malaria and there are the necessary funds
I think the main mistake is the assumption that eradicating malaria would require such radical steps as bringing a bunch of prolific insect species to extinction, there are places where Anopheles mosquitoes are still present but they do not carry the disease
I would be totally cool with being the guy who everyone remembers but no one has any idea why. No records of my accomplishments, just the name. I want my legacy to be a mildly curious mystery.
Me and @SilverWind had our wedding anniversary yesterday
It was very nice and relaxed. We went to Sushi on Bloor and ate half their stock, then went to Ed's Real Scoop for the best ice cream I know of. I had the Maple Walnut, she had half Burnt Marshmallow and half Coffee Toffee in a waffle cone.
We don't really celebrate our wedding anniversary; we celebrate when we started dating, but everybody bugs the piss out of us with well-wishes so I figured we should go do something

I feel like I should change that at some point.

They perform some rudimentary pollination that plants depend on, and are a major food source for a lot of things.
Scientists have genetically engineered sterile male mosquitos that, when they mate with female mosquitos, produce a batch of eggs that won't hatch. And since only female mosquitos suck blood, this would be an effective way of causing a mosquito genocide.
But, again, suddenly change a part of the ecosystem and the consequences could be far reaching.

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
Yeah I don't really think you can necessarily read anything out of kissing necessarily
Like, sometimes you just wanna make out with someone, and there's nothing more to it than that
It's certainly an indication that they find you attractive and are willing to let you inside their bubble, but "on the right track" is probably the wrong line to take there
ugh why do these guys think that sending me the creepiest messages they can think of will make me more interested in them? >.>

For my birthday @Javen and I went to the local science center and they have an observatory and we saw Venus and Jupiter and Saturn and it was the most romantic thing ever

Anyway we dated and she is the best and we've been dating for a month and I might drunkenly be in love
She asked about something I don't usually share and I told her about my 8-year MMO addiction
Her response? A pic of her holding her D20s.
Fuckin amazin 'k

Help me I'm scared
It just sucks because we were going back and forth a lot all week and then I ask if she wants to meet up and boom silence
Just a shitty sitch
Oh well

Fittingly for this thread, I
I scooped her up on a piece of paper and deposited her outside.
Shrieking and flapping my one free hand the entire way.

Sadly necessary for the ecosystem.

lol silly me
If there ist smooching, you knowest thou art on the right track
I'm good with mosquitoes, but I'll admit I'm not fond of the typical household roaches
Other roaches, like the Madagascar Hissing Cockroach, are fine by me

So much for that.

Huh. Anyway, this is what I remember reading, and indeed it's based on the article Bugboy linked.

I've been on several dates where this was 100% not true.
Like, sometimes you just wanna make out with someone, and there's nothing more to it than that

A list of things, should you be of the gifting persuasion
I've been doing so bad at dates lately, you guys
I used to be a pro dater
Or well, better than I am right now
At least it was a hot guy I thought was knob
Also grow up
