be wary still

[nematoddity]

Yep, it's official, the tall fellow I've been seeing online? It's not so much going to continue to be a relationship.

And I only sound calm saying that, kids, trust me...it's going to hurt something fierce.

Weirder? The part of joeyfalconetti will be played by this tall elven sort, and the part of catdancer will be played by me. Yes, I don't have enough life drama,

Now? I can shop in stores that carry 30-32 as their outer limit. I can buy things at somewhat normal prices from Lane Bryant, Roaman's and the Fashion Bug.

I'm assuming you mean 30-32 "womens" sizes? How does that translate to men's sizes?

I have lost ten sizes in one year. DUDE.

WOHOOOOOO!!!!!

[nematoddity]

Wooo, indeed!

Granted, I won't be wearing that lilac top a lot, the woman who sent it my way adores short tops, and she's petite to boot--but damn, was it cool to walk around in clothes I couldn't have slid on one leg a year ago.

Really kind of brings the concept home.

[nematoddity]

Well, the flannel shirts I have are all 6X, but that lilac cableknit shell? Was the equivalent of 3X.

i forgot what you told me your naame was in world. mine is merlot Zymurgy

[nematoddity]

Okay, that makes me giggle.

And it's not your fault, I know, but...I see this so often. People come in, they make a character, they think, online, they think, chat room, they think whatever...and then they type how they type.

So they don't think REAL NAME, they think all lowercase, or all uppercase, or something truly absurd like, oh, what's a good one...americanpsyco98 Book springs to mind. Real guy. Couldn't even spell 'psycho' right, plus for the rest of eternity--or for as long as he plays, whichever comes first--he's stuck with a number in his name.

Leastwise you're just lowercase. But okay, I'll make a note of it. :)

I'm sorry, I'm actually Merlot with a capital M-- they typo was here in your journal, not me on SL! Merlot Zymurgy

My favorite, though, are the people who have picked the last name "Paine"
I always joke when I meet one-- Oh, you are a member of the Paine clan.
I have met your brothers "Master" and "Iluv" and your sisters, the triplettes "Alotta," "Wantsome," and "Needsome,"

Unless the person has a *really* good sense of humor, they usually tp away from me.

The other person I met that reallly got me was Clickmy Lunt. Because she corrected someone's spelling in front of me. And I had to say, "With a name like yours, you best not be correcting anyone's anything..."

[nematoddity]

I have this trick--whenever I meet someone with a common last name, and I know someone else with that name? I say, "Oh, I know your cousin, so-and-so whomever."

To date, the keepers are the ones who play along, but honestly, most people just stare at me blankly, then walk faaaar away.

For once? I'm someone else's anchor to reality. That is a very odd feeling.

I bet!!!

[nematoddity]

Yeah, but--willing to do it. If I'm what stands between him and going completely mental with overwork? More than willing to stand there.

Nice loss! I wouldn't mind loosing 10 sizes.

Granted, I'd probably be dead, but man! What a great looking corpse!

Heh.

We avoid the slasher flicks.

My subconscious really doesn't need any help.

[nematoddity]

Yeah, well, understand, this was over the course of one whole year, not a few months. So it's more long-term.

And second...hey, man, gotta keep the alligators fed. If I don't toss 'em raw meat now and again, they get out.

[hank_riker]

I have nice little fluffy bunnies. With large front teeth.

And bloodstains.

Heh
