I don't know, Lass, Jus did get a pretty good hit from across the waters on his Valentine thread. Maybe there's something to be said for a more direct approach??
Right, T. I think you should join JB as co-auctioneer. I don't think you got enough heat for your "favorite people" thread a few days back! luv ya, T, by the way
If you have the guts to start a thread like that, JB, I say go for it. I think I know just how it would go...it would be fun while it lasted. For what it's worth, I think you'd make a great auctioneer. Just remember to wear your flameproof suit...
I'M forty-three??! Damn, no wonder I feel so young.
A CS auction. Now that DOES sound seriously fun. Maybe someone should start a thread...but why do I have the feeling it might end up being locked rather quickly..??
Well, you are an excellent bargain, Constanza (since most of the guys here don't know what you look like - and what they're missing - I've got the advantage...at least temporarily)
Heh heh - you're catching up with me! But don't worry, after I sang "happy birthday" to you, that would likely halt your aging - for fear of ever hearing me sing again.
Seriously, if I were you, I'd wear it like a badge of honor. You're a better, smarter, wiser version of what you were as a youth (I would assume!). And you're still gorgeous, so what's not to enjoy about being you (except for certain lonely circumstances, of course, which I'm sure will prove temporary)?
I've so rarely been appreciative of loud music playing nearby, Athens, but the two exceptions I can immediately recall involve an opera singer - or some lady with a clearly elite voice - belting out Mozart through an open window as I strolled by. I so wanted to stop and ring her doorbell, but didn't do it.
Anyhow, if I came for a visit, I'd be sure to bring my giant boombox and serenade you with basso profundo rap.
That insanity quote is priceless, H&K. Every time I see someone repeating the same old mistakes, I want to say it - especially to myself!
Also, there's the question of defining a "type." The more superficial it is - for example, my type is rugged biker or a blue-eyed blonde - the more likely that it doesn't have much bearing on what you truly want. But other traits can compose a "type" that is more relevant and substantive - for example, if your type is a smart, compassionate, or funny person, that has substance, and going against that would be self-defeating if not crazy.
I think a deeper truth lurks in there - namely, people often don't really know their "types." That is, they have misconceptions about themselves and what they want. If you truly know what you want -- that is, your desires reflect an actual reality - then you would only be bruising your head against a brick wall choosing people who aren't your type.
You know, Blue Eyed, that would make a great title for a gym...I think it might really bring in the customers (someone who's been contemplating buying a gym for the longest time)...
