Friday!

After a nice day at work and a brilliant game of Star Wars [thank you cmdr_zoom], I am going to sit and price some jewelry.

Also, the Friday Five

1. What food do you like that most people hate?

I guess that the greater populous has a dislike of tofu. I must say, I’ve had my fair share of awfully prepared tofu and I would agree. It wasn’t until I figured out how to properly prepare it that I learned to love it. Any doubters are invited over for a tofu tasting.

2. What food do you hate that most people love?

Cinnamon. We hatesssss it! It is poison! Hobbitsesss ruin perfectly good food with cinnamon. Truly, cinnamon is poison to me. I’m sure that it must taste perfectly fine to others, but as I am anaphylactically allergic to it, I maintain that it is pure evil and like to maintain a 50 meter buffer zone between it and myself whenever possible. It’s just better that way.

3. What famous person, whom many people may find attractive, is most unappealing to you?

I don’t know. I don’t really know any of them personally, so I can’t tell. People’s physical looks are not very important factors in deciding someone’s attractiveness. There are some very average looking people out there who I feel are sensual, sweet and very appealing. On the other hand, there are some conventional beauties out there that make me recoil in horror at their tainted dispositions and biased attitudes.

4. What famous person, whom many people may find unappealing, do you find
attractive?
See above answer.

5. What popular trend baffles you?

Well, none of them completely baffle me, but there are certainly a great number of them that I have no plan to run out and partake in. For example, I really couldn’t see myself spending extra money on designer jeans that are pre-ripped and pre-worn. I usually throw those clothes away or use them for painting the house. I also have no desire to wear the waistband of my pants hovering around my crotch. I’ll never have an intentional tattoo and I’m about done with all the piercings I want, both intentional and accidental. Nevertheless, I understand the psychology behind such trends that date back as far as humanity’s emergence. I see our social need for these trends and expect every new generation to lead the way into their own particular set.

I forgot to mention that last week Skyemage and I had a conversation that ended with both of us agreeing you were a good catch and that we'd both marry you in a heartbeat with or without George.

WOW! Such good fortune I have! Thank you for that. How did I merit such a conversation, I wonder?

An acquaintance of ours lured a woman up here to visit him using internet blandishment. Once she was trapped up here, he failed to pay for her return ticket (although he did pay her apartment rent). He promised her a job, but didn't pay her. He treated her badly in front of guests while she cooked, cleaned, and fixed his plumbing and renovated his bathroom using directions she downloaded from the internet. As she was finishing fixing the broiler, he ordered her to bring a drink from the kitchen and then announced in front of a room full of guests, "I wish you'd start pulling your weight around the house." We all liked her but were very annoyed with him. Skyemage commented that she was quite a catch. I said he didn't deserve her and I hoped she'd find a way to get home to Texas (She did. She leaves this weekend).

We were speaking admiringly of her competance and how she could do much better. Somehow this reminded us of you and your first husband and how you too are an excellent catch. I mentioned I'd marry you in a heartbeat if that lucky George hadn't gotten you first. Skyemage agreed that he'd do the same. At which point we unanimously agreed that we'd marry you and George (as a pair) at the drop of a hat. I think we then bemoaned our inability to lure you both up here for amourous perposes and possible matrimony.

I am honored. I hope that the Texas woman makes it back all right and finds happiness. If not, tell her to move to Eugene. She sounds like a worthy friend and I would be more than pleased to help her adjust to life in the NW. I feel for her.

You should note, though, the irony involved in your statement. It was you, after all, that held the game that introduced me to G. Ah well, you didn't know me well then, or perhaps you could have snatched me up while I was completely available and feeling unloved.

The most beautiful part of Bellingham is your presence there. I doubt I could be lured away from Eugene at this point in time, though. I have loved Eugene since I first met her and I am even more deeply attached since my narrow escape from having to leave her permanently. I was so deeply saddened by your choice to leave Eugene just when we were becoming such close friends. I still am. I enjoy our visits and wish we could make them more regular. Especially my dear, sweet Skyemage who is so sadly busy that I see him rarer still.

We would have loved having her as a friend too, but I think it is in her best interest to go home and finish her degree.

I love Eugene. I will always love Eugene, but it was time to move. I belong in Washington State. I am so gaga for the Sound, I hope never to live farther than a short drive from it again. I loved the mist and water and mountains and little breast shaped islands.
