It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I learned it as Marry Fuck Kill, so when you guys were chucking instead of killing, I was confused.

Because books.

Fuck, Chuck, Marry just *sounds* best anyway.

It sounds kind of like Upchuck Mary.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Fuck, chuck, marry rolls right off the tongue.

I just read that on March 8th, 2012, women should wear bright red lipstick in order to support this effort on International Women's Day. Making note in calendar now.

I learned it as "Date Fuck or Marry"--as in there was no escape, and at least one of the people you had to go on a date with. Sometimes people would say they'd fuck the most objectionable one, on the concept that it might take less time than a date would!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Killing just sounds violent to me, it's hard for me to rethink it as something benign. Same with the "If you could rape anyone?" question

I just read like 561835341 pages of posts, so I'm almost informed! Yay!!!

I've only run into that boy once since discovering the dreaded Facebook relationship status, so no progress on that front. Alas! But good looking, nice guys have been popping up around here like flies, so... that's good?

But I do have a funny story!

Once a cruise we do a 50s & 60s sock-hop type party. and my whole department is dressed up in costume as characters. I play the nerd (typecasting! yay!) with pigtails/ribbons, mis-matched socks, horrible plaid skirt, oversized sweater, etc., but I top it all off with a "kick me" sign on my back. It's all terribly over the top. I /always/ get a couple passengers who ask me if I know I have a sign on my back, but usually the crew I pass is just like "there goes the Cruise Staff being crazy again" and carry on.

But I got to the bar last night and someone I don't know came up to me. He seemed very concerned, and asked me if I was the girl with the pigtails and the yellow sweater the night before. I said, yeah, that's me. Then he said, "I.. well, I noticed that you had a 'kick me' sign on your back? And I just wanted to make sure that was there on purpose. I thought someone did that to you. Some other waiters who say they know you said it was part of your job, but... I was just concerned. Is someone being mean to you?"

It took lots of willpower not to just LOL at him, but aww! I mean, I was dressed SO outlandishly that the fact that anyone would think it was serious is a little puzzling, but I'm just going to be glad that someone I don't even know was ready to spring to my aid in defense.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

ita !, what's the effort, exactly? And is the red lipstick a solidarity thing?

zuisa, that's so sweet! Good for him.

I don't know that I can explain it any better than the website, but it sums up by saying: "March 8th, 2012: Show the power of women on International Women's Day by wearing red lipstick. Let's turn every woman's lips into a reminder of who we are."
