Aurelia, I dislike that exchange better than the bit from Twilight he says he'll love her until she's a corpse, or the stultifying but from Forrest Gump. Way too many inclusions to not irritate everyone, but I think it works really well as a whole, and it knocked the breath out of me with the climax, which I totally wasn't expecting.

I never saw Twilight , so I can ignore that part more easily.

It was from the only one I saw, but either way, it's the only movie with him in it I've seen, so it resonated reasonably awfully.

And, I can't like, I liked Jerry Maguire until about five minutes after the movie ended, when I had a full body shiver and rejected it whole.

I feel I have a strange maturity of relationships mission now at IO9. The topic is a lot less contentious and illegal than before, but I'm trying to convince romantic ladypenis guy that a mature adult can be honest about not being monogamous yet, if ever, and there's no big rule that says dating two people at once has to be disgusting, just because some women said so once, and because all your friends lie about it.

In between shaking my head ::children:: I'm shopping the sale rack at sockdreams with the additional 20% off, because I *cannot* manage socks. I swear I keep buying socks I love, and I can never find an appropriate pair in and of a morning. Obviously my filing/laundry needs to get fixed, but maybe I can fix it like I fix my panty issues, with...well, okay, maybe ruffles.

Hee. [link]

I certainly wouldn't consider that Twilight line to be romantic in any way. I couldn't even remember the name of Jerry Maguire until you said it. The only "romantic" movie moment I'm more likely to mock than the Jerry Maguire one is "I'm standing in your doorway" from one of the Spiderman flicks.

I will totally go with you! You looking for a companion?

Totally, Zen! (Are we FB friends? My profile addy is good too). Puerto Vallarta's a little farther for you, but it's super cheap....Miami I can't find a decent hotel cheap.

I just went to the employee pharmacy to get a decongestant. It has been YEARS since I bought one. They keep everything behind the counter, because it is just for employees, and I couldn't really see so I asked what they had in a non-drowsy decongestant. They had to call a pharmacist, and he asked me all sorts of questions about high blood pressure, etc, and then gave me the red sudafed. I had totally forgotten about all the restrictions, so then I had to show my ID, and sign a paper, and he had to talk to me about dosage, and that it also might make me jittery. It was weird. And I only got 24 (not that I will need more. I think I am only going to take one and see what that does, because I do not need to be jittery, just to be able to breathe.

I'm headed to the dr. in a bit to see what's on this CATscan CD thingy, and hopefully to figure out how to keep the sinus revolt from happening again this year. If they can tell me why my light/glare/strobe issues continue to kick my ass as well, without it being something horrible that requires surgery, I'll be pretty happy. Even more so if they give me a copy of the CD to take home and mess around with on photoshop.

Still, hello apprehension.

Why getting married on horseback may not be a great idea.

Huh. Perhaps my wedding plan to have my bride ride a T-Rex requires some fine-tuning....

Good luck, Sox.

Someone just posted on our local listserv for a babysitter to spend overnights with her 2 kids three nights a week (she's a nurse) for $5/hour, so I sent her a list of wage and hour laws (off-list) that are applicable.

I don't think I should have to mind my own business if she posts publicly for an illegal arrangement, but she seems to think so. IN ASSCAPS.
