Why is it that for ages you don't like anyone?
And then suddenly, three guys at once turn up. And you like all three and all three like you. ARGH!!!
How am I supposed to chose?

No shit. That always happens.

Make the battle.

May I suggest:

target35ghost

Tone. You are rather genius for that.


I know who'd win any gladiators challenge though. Is he the one I go for?

tune1shade

If you're into extreme battles with padded weapons, then yes.

If not, there's always a good ol' Scrabble tournament.

target35ghost

Hmmm... I need another challenge then. Best of three. I reckon the same guy would win the padded paddles (ooooh.. I don't know the literary term for alliteration and assonance at once but I like it) AND the Scrabble tournament.

He doesn't like OK Go though.

Oy, what to do???

tune1shade

Go all Clockwork Orange on him maybe? There's nothing like a little behavioral brainwashing!

target35ghost

I rather adore you for that.

Gladiators, followed by Scrabble, followed by Clockwork Orange. It's like you turned my childhood into a tournament for choosing a guy.

I say coolest hair wins, Alice.

Best of three Bill & Ted style.

Game 1 - Battleship
Game 2 - Twister
Game 3 - Clue

which one renders you unable to process thoughts properly? or you do horribly embarrassing out of character things around...

DJRose

Send pictures and stats to big sis, she'll help you choose. ;-)

Also, any who are incapable of communicating with you on any level above age 7 should be immediately stricken from the conversation. And what do you mean he doesn't like OK Go? Does he not KNOW OK Go? Or does he just have incredibly bad taste in music? Because I do feel there's a case to be made for not dating people with bad taste in music.

Hahahaha, thanks guys!

Right well two of them currently have cool hair, but the other one is growing his hair, and when he has long hair it looks like Damian's. So I'm thinking he might win that one. In time....


And Rachel -- you're so right. I need to be able to talk to him properly.
And he said he liked Get Over It, but then he teases me a lot so he may be PRETENDING not to like OK Go just to annoy me. I haven't worked it out yet.

Hmph.
I've ruled one guy out, at least, for being too easy. As in not enough of a challenge, lol. Apparently he spent the whole of last night following me around, and I barely noticed!!

Oy, I'm a bitch and a half.

After 20ish years of avoiding it, I managed to get my first cavity.

I'm eating post-Christmas junk food to celebrate.

To Alice: Do what my mom says and just date all three. (Sorry, she also happens to be a former artist turned semi Freudian psychologist quasi-hippie woman.) Seriously, what she would say is to spend time with each of them, not getting too deeply involved, and see which one you have the most in common with. If it's not romantic involvement where feelings could get hurt, you're not really cheating on anyone. You're just spending time with each of them.

To Amy: This is not a complaint, this is cause for celebration! (And I love the way you celebrated BTW.) You now get the opportunity to visit your friendly neighborhood Timpe dentist, or Dr. Tim, or your average friendly local dentist (whichever comes first)

Cheers to you for 20 years of keeping those pearlies so fine. Think of it like a car: after a few years, there are always some minor repairs that need to be done.

I basically just love the way you describe your mom...

I knew that you would make me feel better.
Self-medicating on mini M&Ms is good, right?

Very.

self medication? You just described my 2 pm breakfast! (gosh I love Christmas break). Sorry, back to thread....

target35ghost

Tempe, your mother is wonderful.
Thank you!

Update: I did manage to convince the dentist to pose for some shots of me pretending to look very terrified. I think he was just impressed that I had a Polaroid.

It's amazing what people will do if you just ask. I was hoping for a more action-shot of them coming after me with tools, but I look adequately frazzled.

And now the left side of my ace still feels a little numb. To give you an idea of how I work, I'm sitting here making faces since it feels a little funny.



I was such a grump all day.
