Frustration on all fronts...

[ebenbrooks]

Damnit! I had the woman in my room, sitting on the edge of my bed. She was sympathetic*, she thought my lame joke was funny**, and she was hotter than a two-dollar pistol! And just as I was leading up to the sure-to-be-specTACular make-out session . . .

. . . my gods-damned alarm clock went off!

Grumble! Why don't the awful dreams ever end that

Think of your alarm clock as a chastity belt that also happens to tell time. :P

[Picks up alarm clock and unceremoniously hurls it out the window, enjoying the satisfying crunch as it hits the deck and shatters]

Ladies and gentleman, this has been ebenbrooks' views on chastity. Thank you. ;P

[ebenbrooks]

;-) Gods-damned right, they are!

[ebenbrooks]

Well, it's always worked for me... ;-)

I think it's done a lot more in "mainstream" dating rituals than in the ones we, as fen, generally engage in. Someone laughing at one's lame joke is one of the ways that "normal" people signal that they're willing to butter up one's ego. Or something like that...

I agree with @leorising1959. I can really enjoy a person's sense of humor without being the least bit sexually attracted to them.

Though *having* a sick sense of humor is a pre-requisite for me for a serious relationship. Or the guy won't "get" or understand me.

When Neil Gaiman found out that I was dating Keih, he told me (at Worldcon this past summer) "He'll never grow up." My response to him was "Yes. But there is a great difference between being childish and being child-like."

Sorry... This was me. The droid phone strikes again.

Your boyfriend knows Neil Gaiman?

*pout* ...lucky bastitch...

Ever have the one where she's hot, she's ready to go... and you can't find a freakin' condom? And you wake up going "Gah! WTF?!" and then "It's a dream!? I Know why I'm dreaming about safer sex in a dream, but for ghod's sake it's a dream!!!"

So yeah... damn alarm clock too. :)

[ebenbrooks]

I've never had that one, but I have had the one where I can't find a room! You know, the one where every single room you go into, someone's already in it? And you're running all over hell and gone just looking for someplace to fuck?

When the alarm wakes me up from those, I actually tend to be a bit relieved...
