Heh. I'm NOT a vegetarian, and I hate handling/cooking meat...
Occasionally I'm callous and strange.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
The thing that always gets me is when other guys ask S. how they can persuade their (sometimes theoretical) partners to like nerdstuff. Especially when I'm standing Right There.
Heh. I have introduced Wallybee to nerdstuff. I can say that if I did so with the expectation that I could 'get her to like it', it would not have had a happy ending.
She likes Battlestar Galactica, a lot. She liked BtVS and Angel ok, but it didn't really grab her. She fell asleep playing D&D. She will happily play many different board games with me. She has developed a love of nature programs. I would still not want to be with anyone else if none of it had stuck.

I'm a whiz at cooking scrambled eggs on plain stainless steel and not having them stick
OK, I'd like the secret to this. The only ways I know to do this are) 1) oo much oil 2) a little bit of oil diluted by being added to some boiling broth which really means I am sauteing or semi-poaching the eggs. PAM does not work for me on stainless steel.

move out and draw fire
I love the Olivia books.
Story Corps this morning featured a couple who've been married 60 years. The husband said of his wife "She's not the best cook in the world, but she makes great reservations."
It was funny and sweet because he clearly adored her.
I can't tell you how many problems I've had with female partners of male friends because I like nerdstuff. Also, the fact that I do the grilling and all the driving when we go anywhere together seems to bug people.
They also always assume that our interior decorating is all me, which couldn't be farther from the truth.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Silly Raq. You're only supposed to cook inside the house.

O HAI, this is me also.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'd like to know that too! It's like magic.
not knowing what a clove was, she put in two bulbs
See, this would have been me. All those "you won't believe this" cooking stories? They're me. I lived in my last apartment for two years before I realized that the little drawer under the stove was actually a broiler. I can cook eggs, and meat if it's not too complicated, and I guess I could stir-fry if I ever wanted to eat vegetables. If it involves a "recipe", I'll screw it up. I don't cook.

But then where will I light big piles of rocks on fire?

That's me too, it's very stereotypical and naturally doesn't bug anyone. On the rare occasions I don't drive, it is awesome. I'm going someplace and I don't have to do anything.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I love to cook, which means I'm usually the one who cooks in the family, but DH can certainly feed the whole family. He just finds the cooking a lot more stressful than I do. My mom was an amazing cook, really amazing. Not like having a chef in the house, just good home cooking. I learned so much from her.
