What I Learned Today

[oakenguy]

From my dream last night: the ghost in the basement of Buckingham Palace is a very nice old man who's a little touchy if you don't call him "Your Majesty", but who'll put up with almost anything for hazelnut coffee.



From the Berklee student sitting behind me at lunch, explaining her approach to romance to her friends:

"If there's a guy I like, and I'm hanging out with him? First we talk for a while. And drink, as much as possible, drinking is VERY important. And then while I'm talking I HIT him. Like, accidentally? And then I'm like, 'Ohmigod, I'm so sorry!' and I kiss the place I hit him. And if he doesn't get the hint, I hit him again!"

She's a subtle one.

Yes, drinking is VERY impotent... sorry, did I say impotent? I meant to say important :D.

Oh my gosh...
Suppose I've been too subtle all these years.

*lolz*

So, tell me, Bri: You're of the male persuasion. Do you feel this would be an effective technique?

Perhaps I should put this another way: Just how much would you have had to be drinking for this to be an effective technique? Would you still be breathing without a respirator for instance?

That's brilliant. Why didn't I think of that? I'm going to try it.

"And then if he *still* doesn't get the hint, I hint him in the face with a sack full of bricks. By that point, he's usually unconscious. Or dead. Either way, it's all good for me."

That's... not okay. It's not "not okay" like dismembering celery -- it's "not okay" like needing a root canal.

Is it OK?

Too hate the way early 20 somethings talk? Remember, the "IW" and Ohmigods" are always sprinkled heavily in between any sensible phrase...

No offense to my younger friends. You DO NOT fit this category...

Because excessive alcohol consumption and violence are the cornerstones of any healthy relationship...

LOL, part of me wants to meet this girl... but she's serious? She wasn't joking?

I always SUCKED SUCKED SUCKED at flirting. I affiliate it with a lifetime of being mentally abused by society (fat girl and all). Part of me hears this and doesn't know what to make of it. I was never one of the popular girls who chased the boys around at recess.

hmmm..I usually don't hit the people I like. I just smile a lot. Strange?

I think she's got something going there. Too bad you couldn't find out if this actually works for her.
