Working my way through posts in a somewhat haphazard fashion-- Vortex, M is a shitheel for a) saying what he said in the first place and then b) using such a shitty, not to mention, transparent, excuse.

Yeah. "I didn't mean it that way" is actually "Fuck, I'm busted for saying a really shitty thing."

Yep-- totally with Tep on this one.

Happy birthday, Seska.

Fie on M (that particular M who has not the sense to apologize, not M's in general).

I like salads that are just lettuce and dressing. The dressing makes it salad! Well, maybe not. But people often make salads that are just lettuce and tomato and I don't eat the tomato, so.

I am intrigued by the Vibram FIve Finger things. Vibram know what they are doing. i'm going to have to ponder what I get out of going barefoot (which I do, often) and what I like in footwear and how thos things would fit my lifestyle. Hm.

Have fun gaming, omnis! I used to love Set, don't think I've played since high school. Can't say I ever loved dating, but it had some fun moments.

Most of my salads have a wide variety of items including fruit, nuts, olives, etc. Also, I've been known to be perfectly satisfied with a wedge of lettuce with only blue cheese dressing on it. I eat a salad almost every day so they vary.

My mom's salads do not always have dressing. I've seen her eat lettuce right out of the bag.

I do like salads that have more stuff in them (your spinach and strawberries and balsamic salad the other day sounded incredibly tasty, Hil), but I find them more hassle then they are worth to make, usually. Unless I am making them for company or to bring somewhere or something. For just me, or me and DH, lettuce and dressing is enough, but I do require dressing. I'll eat just plain lettuce (or, for that matter, chopped cabbage), but I wouldn't call that salad.

Happy birthday, Seska!

Yeah. "I didn't mean it that way" is actually "Fuck, I'm busted for saying a really shitty thing."

Oh, they meant it that way. And then realized it was a shitty thing.

yeah. I'm sure he thought "hey, making fun of fat people is funny!" and then realized "oops, I didn't think about the fact that this internet person (who I've met) is part of the group I'm ridiculing"

Sometimes "I didn't mean it that way" means "Oh, wait, I forgot I have to pretend that ___ people are actually people. And I keep forgetting that you are ___, because you actually seem like a person to me."

It can also mean, "I'm offended that you are offended by my offensive comment because my right to say offensive things is more important than your right to feel or think anything outside of me."

"Oh. Good. What way DID you mean it?"

"I didn't mean it that way" is right up there with "I didn't mean you" on the Rage-Inducing Phrases of Pathetic Ass-covering list.

HOLY CRAP! I just clicked through to Torchwood on imdb to see how far behind I was and I didn't mean to look at the plot of latest episode and it said "spoler alert" but I didn't look away fast enough. Gah!

AndyCat escaped 4 times yesterday. Once for over an hour.

Guess who stomach is upset....
