Wait, Mr Darcy is INTJ??
Oh, and Professor Moriarty and Hannibal Lecter..? :/
A Prediction.
Your current (or next) relationship will last 6 months, tops. If it lasts beyond that one (or both) of you will be deeply unhappy.
However, I would like you to prove me wrong.

80s TV is dated.
My memory of watching the Robin Of Sherwood TV series with it’s ‘gritty, authentic production design’ equated it to watching Game Of Thrones.
Now I’m watching it again, not so much. It’s still good, just very ’80s’.
I appear to be awake.
I use the term ‘appear’ loosely.

Movie night!
What should I watch? Bonus points if I already have it sitting waiting to be watched.
Question mark?
It's not like I care about the eat six saltine...

Truthful Tuesday: I like cats.
I like their aloof and independent nature. I like to get to know them. I’d like to understand them better.

Truthful Tuesday: I HATE CATS.
OK, no I don’t. Although I do have a hard(er) time with cats than dogs.
So far in life I have lived with a total of five cats and four dogs (plus several short term foster dogs) and while I have no real issue with any* animal, I’ve only had direct extended experience with those dogs, cats, and a few fish. Fish are a very ‘hands off’ experience so I’m going to...

Accentuate the Positive.
Scientific American:
In the past few years psychologists have discovered that thriving couples accentuate the positive in life more than those who languish or split do. They not only cope well during hardship but also celebrate the happy moments and work to build more of these into their lives.
Psychology Today:
The experiences of the 56 participating couples who divorced showed that loss of...

do-over answered your question: beefranck replied to your post: do-over replied to… It says - and I quote - “spdracerx asked: You should record a video of yourself singing the Oscar Mayer weiner song.” VIDEO OF YOURSELF
Are you suggesting that my post was of less value than a video? It was five times the vocal effort! A multitracked video of that would take me forever.

You’d really like me to upload it again, but set to a blank video?

Chose your own dig-the-cat Friday Night Adventure!
I’m in a mood. The kind where I probably end up doing something foolish or just, you know, napping forever.
Instead, you can tell me what to do tonight, or distract me by asking any question and getting a completely honest response.

Truthful Tuesday, Part 2.
I wrote that list over seven weeks ago. I was reluctant to post it. It felt incomplete. Not right. Subject to change.
It hasn’t changed.

Truthful Tuesday.
I’d like a woman who gives me reason to smile. There was a line in the Steve Jobs eulogy that broke me and I’d like it to be the sort of observation someone would make about me: “And every time his wife walked into the room, I watched his smile remake itself on his face.”
A woman I can trust. One who trusts me. No matter how long those things might take. Someone who...

“…Romance itself seeds the eventual belief that we have chosen the wrong partner.

It’s orchestrated,...

Oh, I suppose you might like to know that I didn’t die.
However, I did get a migraine that had me feeling a little nauseous, and it would have been all your fault if it got any worse.

Point of note.
I never had a crush on Batgirl.
I was too busy at the library, reading books and having crushes on real librarians.

That's it, I'm ordering pizza.
Who’s coming over, and what toppings do you like?
Looks like the big "FanMail" features are:
Fancy fonts and paper. (Goodness, those fonts are huge)
Replies can’t be public (i.e. The message can’t be published by accident)
Line breaks inside a message.
URLs inside a message.
Really long messages allowed.
Messages don’t vanish when you reply to them.
Can’t send message to someone unless you’ve been following them for a while? (Well spotted, G)
