i just wanted to say
(though this is a few pages back now)
that when i got onto the bus today
and put my ipod onto shuffle
a def leopard song was the first thing to come up
haters
edit: DONT POST AT THE SAME TIME AS ME, ARSE, IT'S CREEPY
and yes, it IS intimidating, ISN'T it?
I used the phrase
"dude wearing a stained def leopard t shirt and sweatpants" last night.
I'm so going to do this.
I think you just made my week!
Now the hard part is figuring out how to make it surprise and get my other roommate to leave us be. Maybe I could bribe him with chocolates...
Also, question to anyone, how does one go about initiating romantic stuffs with a roommate? Cause, ya know some people get all weirded out when they find out the person they are living with has feelings for them.
It's the same as asking any regular woman out but instead of eyeing her across the room first you make up those minutes by saying the words "no pressure" over and over again
also hey no prob glad I could help, good luck
Yeah, thats what I was thinking. Some people have hang ups though, hopefully she isnt one of them. Shes also the type of girl that has a lot of guy friends and gets a long/lives with guys more oft than girls.
Girls like that can be the best.
They can also be the worst.
I'm not trying to be negative here but.... don't wear your heart on your sleeve around a girl like this until you know its gonna work out. On a side note I am yet again single on Valentines.
This is the first time I've ever been aware that Valentine's day was approaching. It's never something I've been cognizant of more than a day or two in advance.... All these threads around the forums are turning that into a week!?
Fuck I hope my ex doesn't call me (but then i'll be all disappointed when she doesn't)
I think i'll just join Knob and Brainleech at taco bell...

I have no idea what to do for V-Day since my boyfriend is so far away
I was thinking of Amazoning him an electric blanket because he says he gets cold at night and it will help him keep warm since I'm not there to do it
but that might be a touch too cheesy
and I mean flowers are the easiest thing but I don't know he already feels intimidated by the fact that there is an awful lot of gender role reversal in our relationship
Man there are a lot of great wines you can get for like 8 dollars. There is no need, ever, to dumpster dive for a bottle so you can fill it with box wine.
Fucking seriously.
hell you can even get good, cheap champagne
they have a nice tasting champagne from France that sells here in Shanghai for like RMB 35 a bottle (that's 5 bucks)
if you don't know how to buy a wine
go with a simple sauvignon blanc (from Chile if you can get one they are sometimes cheaper) for the white with dinner
and anything from 2003 for the red
most 2003 reds are good wines from anywhere in the world because the summer was warmer so the grapes were sweeter that year
Since he's going the lobster route, I'd recommend a Riesling. It's a bit lighter and crisper than the sauvignon blanc and the extra bit of sweet will do really well with the lobster.

I have tasked myself with the duty of reminding my guy friends everywhere that it is V-Day soon. Why?
Because last year I did not do this and dudes left and right forgot and who was left doing damage control? DR PHVIV, THAT'S WHO.
This is a preemptive strike on V-Day drama.
You'd think it'd help that my friends are mostly guys so their girls wouldn't come bitch to me, but nooooo, the girls bitch and then the guys come to me asking what to do next and I WILL BE DAMNED IF I AM STUCK DOING THAT AGAIN THIS YEAR.

If you want a good red cuddle wine you can't go wrong with a Pinot Noir.
Also don't get anything stupid like a Gewurztraminer or those other sweet desert wines.
Seriously they taste like juice why the hell would anyone want them.
and I mean flowers are the easiest thing but I don't know he already feels intimidated by the fact that there is an awful lot of gender role reversal in our relationship
Send fruit...chocolate covered fruit. If he has a hang up about flowers, at least this is something he can munch on: http://www.ediblearrangements.com/

THIS IS PERFECT because he is a health nut and the whole time he was here he kept making me eat fruit because I don't eat fruit I am a very unhealthy person
and the chocolate is Valentinesy
YAY!
(seriously though if I am single I am giving you a call so fast my phone will ignite)

because dessert wines are raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad
It is not rad when you get her a bottle of Gewurztraminer and she overdrinks because its too sweet and she's just gulping it like juice and then bam instead of sealing the deal she's leaning over the sink telling me she's gonna be alright twice every half-minute for the next half hour.
Ugh
There is nothing worse than attempts at romance gone awry

A blanket is a wonderful gift and it isn't cheesy at all. But don't get him an electric one. Order him something nice that he could use anywhere.

my mom used to give me and my brother presents on valentine's day when we were little (also on st. patrick's day and a whole bunch of other random holidays she would get excited about)

I'll be sure to slip you my digits for texts of the random, explicit and romantic nature.
(Glad I could help)
@ NAC: Hope it helps. Give that dude a call, he's good and can help with everything from the hotel to the place, etc..etc.. Also, River Farm is incredibly beautiful (and the closest thing you can get to being married at Mount Vernon)

Something made of fine wool come to mind.
this is a good point
something else that occurred to me is that he'd need one of international voltage if he ever moved to Asia
but it has to be a really warm blanket
got any ideas for what I type into the Amazon search bar? :P
gloating OR making sure you are just as miserable as she is
pick one
Not my ex.
Hmm... perhaps CB wasn't referring to my post at all though...
Illusion of Central Position GO!
Edit: because I missed viv's post.
My ex likes to try and string me along just in case things don't work out with her current boyfriend. It took me way too long to realize that's what she was doing

Goose down is pretty warm and Woolrich is a decent company that does sell on Amazon.

he's alright
he slept over the other night and it made me sad because he ain't used to his bedroom at my house anymore so he was pretty freaked out in there
but it was kinda nice because he curled up on my lap and passed out watching a movie
usually he's too busy to just sit and cuddle
I want you to explain this
Somebody just did a bunch of nice shit and now we're sitting around talking about how nice it was and how good of a person he is?
What kind of crazy fantasy world have I entered? This surely is not the world I know.
