What if someone gave you a chocolate covered malt ball and it had a long thread doubled over many times inside of it?

Twas just a kiss. I feel a bit like a 13 year old girl being this excited about this, but in the context of the situation i was in it really does make sense. Really though, every few minutes i keep thinking what the hell is wrong with me, i don't get this happy about getting laid much less about just a kiss. But oh well. I am.

Okay, kid, I hate being serious but... been there. A few times. Age isn't a factor in it. Last one was first time out with a 19-year-old woman that I loved more than anything; Lord of the Rings on my 46th birthday. Then she took me home to meet her mother (6 years younger than me) and I got welcomed into the family instantly. (I think that I miss them more than her. I was pretty light-headed for a couple of years about that.

I know you were making a point, but I'm not clear on which point.

Been there? Very few people have been in this particular type of situation, and if you have, you, like me, deserve to be dragged out and shot in all fairness. Only my sheer bullheadedness, a few rare moments of sheer social brilliance always accompanied by a healthy dose of luck have managed to put myself in my position. As happy as i am at the moment, its still not a good situation. Its just better than it has been.

I am so far from rich that I'd have to take up begging to climb up to 'poor'. She just happened to think that I was 'cool' :cool:: (Poor deluded creature.) And she was awesome. 5' tall; 98 lbs; a body that couldn't have been closer to perfect if I'd drawn up the blueprints myself; beautiful face; super IQ; speaks 3 languages; has a foster daughter in Ethiopia... Then about when she hit 21, she turned into something else entirely. Unpleasant. Oh well...

You have all the symptoms. I'm happy for you, it sounds like you held out and found the right girl. :approve:

Yep, you've definitely been bitten by the love bug. :approve: It's almost impossible to explain it, isn't it? It's just a feeling you know is it when you feel it.

The point is that I know how much impact such a simple thing can have.

Except for the 'luck' part... As for bullheadedness... you think it's easy for a guy like me to continue appearing cool to a woman like her? I had to keep my car radio on a hiphop station, eat sushi, let her cut and gel my hair, and a few things that I won't even mention. It was worth it, though. (I even like hiphop now, but I gag thinking about sushi.)

Found? Found her a long time ago. Question of merely getting her (a task still not complete really).

I don't like hip-hop, but I LOVE sushi (I have to wonder why I bother with a kitchen when I prefer most foods raw or nearly raw anyway).

Yes, but when you found her, you felt she was different, right? I remember you talking about her before. I'm glad that you are going after what you want. Finding the right person is so rare, and if you let it go, you may never find it again.

Danger said:

Nothing weird about sushi. :biggrin: Though, I do like the sea urchin one, which most people think is pretty weird (unless they're Japanese of course). :approve:

It's all part of my attempts at energy conservation. I don't waste energy cooking food that I can eat raw. :-p

No, not quite actually.

I first met her, 2 1/2 years ago. I actually found her attractive on multiple levels even then. But i was seeing someone else at the time, and we just became friends. The next semester we had a philosophy class together, which was the first time i ever had any serious intellectual discussions with her. The next fall, i broke up with my then girlfriend, and about a month later started pursuing this girl. That was a year and a half ago. Like i said, bullheaded am I.

If you mean the eggs, that was Sheena's favourite, and I kind of liked it too. Not because of the taste, but because they explode when you bite them. It's sort of like sardine-flavoured pop-rocks.

If you were serious about conservation, you'd eat only Jello. Think of all the energy you waste chewing.

That's really gross actually

Indeed. Storebought jello too, not the stuff you have to add water to yourself. Way too much effort there.

Nope, not eggs. Those are good too, but not the one I was talking about. Not many sushi places even offer it, because most Americans won't eat it. You have to go to a place where there are enough Japanese customers to make it worth their while putting it on the menu.

Nope, Jell-O isn't for eating, it's for wrestling in. :-p

For me, it isn't so much the effort as the wait! When I'm in the mood for Jell-O, I'm in the mood for it NOW, not in 2 hours after it has cooled and solidified. Even if you do the ice-cube short-cut, it still takes a while to set.

That would be caviar. MB is talking about sea urchin roe - called uni in Japan.

Yep, that's it, uni. I was getting confused for a bit, because I did think it was eggs (that's what roe is), but they don't pop, like caviar, so then I thought maybe it wasn't the roe.

That's what I meant. Sheena just told me that it was sea urchin eggs and shared her dish with me. I wasn't really into learning too many details. She had to guide me very carefully, because if I eat something that's touched a shrimp, I'd be dead.

Oh, I see, she was the gold-digger type. I don't think I'd take someone with a shrimp allergy to a sushi place (or any kind of seafood place for that matter). Just no guarantee that there wasn't shrimp on the prep surface just before they made your sushi.

Strangely enough, she knew that I don't have any gold and didn't care.

It was her usual place, and she told the staff about me. They were very careful.

Oh poo. I've only been here a few days and I think I've already killed the "Separation between church and state" thread. Not a good sign. Gotta change tactics.

Sushi is the best thing since the round wheel. Nothing like a big platter of sushi to get me all excited.

Oh, don't let it worry you too much. Politics threads are especially frail and prone to being killed off quickly. It's a good place to start out honing those skills though. It'll take a lot more to kill this one. :biggrin:

I think I'd better find out if you're male or female before I get too deeply into this conversation. :biggrin: (I'm not going to go by the name; I'm pretty sure that Moonbear isn't furry and MIH isn't a calculator.)

Well, I'm certainly not just a calculator! I am a reasonably complex algorithm under development at the MIT labs. As you can see, however, my Creators have a long way to go.
