I'd back off, Omnis.
Unless, of course, there was some crazy chemistry zapping around and I just couldn't help myself. In that case I'd "go for it" and spend the next 12-18 months driving my dear friends up a wall.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

shoot her? Yeah, there are reasons I'm single, huh? But I'm just SO OVER all that red-state shit. It makes me angry at my old "everyone's got a right to her opinion!" self. Even when I miss her sometimes.

Omnis, I'm torn, but unless you're really, really drawn to her for some intangible reason, she doesn't sound like a long-term (or even short-term)partner for ya.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
That's a lot of flags, omnis. Compatibility of values is more important to a long-haul relationship than compatibility of interests. The big one is that you say you didn't even want to try to kiss her. Go with your gut on this one.

In all seriousness(and thankfully for her, I am still uncoordinated and a gun-control advocate,) you could probably survive a few of those things. But not all of them together.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Ya, it was strange. The thing that has *really* drawn me to her was her spicy brain. She's SMART! Buuuut. I dunno. Friends, sure. But, I don't think much else. Ugg. Best prospect I've had in years. :: kicks dirt ::

only thing you can do.
Fuck the oppressor.
Seriously, though. Mary Matalin and James Carville made it work, why can't you?

But not all of them together.Exactly. For the most part, they were all little yellow flags. Nothing major on it's own. But the combination. And I get the feeling there is more. The taking a bribe to bomb the final to help the bell curve irked me. I dunno. Maybe it shouldn't. But. It just screams HONOR CODE VIOLATION. And, I'm sorry, no President is perfect, but FDR is one of the bests. And Obama has barely been in for 6 months. He's still in reaction mode, and legacy from your church twit! And Carlin is a FUCKING GENIUS!

If she thinks FDR was the worst President, she's not that smart. And the thing that makes me a great gf? How I let stuff go so easily. But I took fifty points off her hypothetical IQ score just cause I read that. She must be really hot. I could never make it with someone who doesn't like George Carlin, either.
