Ok, here's the lamest part of internet personals; what do you do when someone just throws a basically loaded question at you? I got a message from this guy asking "Do you date black men?" Well, I haven't, but I've got nothing against them. But he's ten years older than me and a Christian (no offense to the Christians here; I just couldn't date one I'm sorry). So what am I supposed to say? "I've got no problem with your skin, but our creeds clash"? "I don't date men in their 30s"? And what the hell kind of question is that? I hate those "You should date me or you're racist" types. I had a 35 year old Mexican pull that on me when I turned him down (this was in real life, mind) He was like "What, you don't like Mexican people?" and I said "Uh, I have a boyfriend and I told you that. What I don't like is pushy people."
So what is up with that? Anyone else come across that?

Hi, Just got in and I'm here people! I'll have to read the thread to catch up but a tiny little hijack first - Desk Top Hippie!! You
are the BEST!!! I love them & I hope one of them is appearing at the bottom of this post... & if it doesn't then please remember that I am seriously-compterly-challenged...

PR! Hi - I would say somthing like "Yes I date black me... but that doesn't automatically mean I'll date you..." I love that you are taking the plunge though - good for you!!! (& I didn't take offense coz I wasn't planning to ask you to date me - being a female/hetrosexual/with a big age difference aside I think my faith would just be the last straw...

Mwaaah - Magdalena x x x

{edit} OK ... totally un-computer-coordinated...

Edit again- coz I thought there was a smiley emote called :disappinted:

"I love my Captain!"

Hi Magdalena!

Just about to leave - glad I caught you! You can leave out the URL tags. Delete [URL= BIT and [/IMG] [/URL] tags and just leave the address of the banner itself, from http onwards.

Like this - http//fakestuff/image/fakethisisjustfake - as long as there are no tags around it, you'll see the actual image when you post.

[hijack thread] Hi Adorable Desktop Hippie! Thank you - I am still pretty 'unco' obviously (is unco a word you use in the US?/UK?)

I'll keep trying though 'coz I cannot wait for EVERYONE to see my shiney birthday present!!

Thank you again - Magdalena x x[/hijack thread]

I also thought I should mention jealousy as a negative energy - therefor not to be a focus of any relationship. Positive energy like trust, communication, love, forgiveness - those are the things that should exist in a relationship... unless you want it to eat away at your very soul...

And I, too, thought that scene was more about Buffy's reaction to what had happened with the Master - not so much making Angel jealous - she was deliberately hurting Xander too, and assumed that Willow's loyalty would be to Xander and Angel would be on the outer as well... she thought she would protect them if they were not close to her... Oh, and she was still a teenager acting out her frustration at not having a say in being the Slayer...

That's all - Magda x x x

Fireflyfans.net does not display png files. I'm not sure why.
That's a good response, Magdalena! I might use that one!

Morning, all!

MSG, that's not fair! First thing I come to is the delicious menu for last night's dinner...

On a side note, today is my wife's birthday! We'll be going to a Japanese steak house followed by a horror movie of her choice (she loves horror movies...one birthday, her movie choice was Jason vs. Freddy). This is the place that serves that really good Sake.

Hey, VinterDraken! Welcome back...again! Missed you around here.

DancingNeko, it only takes one drop of Irish blood to make an Irishman (/woman). That's what I tell everyone...as I am 1/64th on my father's side and something like 1/16th or 1/32nd on my mother's side...but I consider myself Irish.


I have a day's worth of work to catch up one, so I'll be on and off a bit.
Coffee first, then work...

Oh Gorgeous Phoenix Rose - do you mean to say that I am not so totally useless as I thought?!!! I love you!! I do want you to see the signature banner that DT Hippie made me though - it's just so awesome!! I guess we'll work that one out soon...

I'm so glad if my suggestion helped! Let me know how you go with your 'potentials' and if you do end up meeting with/actually dating any of them (as if you wouldn't tell us everything eh?) I'm feeling very much like your big sister at the moment!

Tristan! Tell your gorgeous wife that we say a huge Happy Birthday!! I suppose you had to go through the trauma of a French wife to get to the prize of a Leo Warrior Woman!! (just from reading your previous imponderable posts...) I know so many awesome Leo ladies - we're all very loyal, creative, imaginative, fun-loving, compassionate... Well - I shouldn't toot my own trumpet but my best friend's birthday was 14th mine's 11th, another Firefly fan-friend is 15th & a gorgeous friend (20 years younger but no age-barrier between us ever) was also 14th My own little doll (whom I nanny) is the 17th so I guess I have a few to chose from... (Most of us are actors too - except my best friend but she's artistic in many other ways!) I'm jealous of the Japanese food - love sake - but you can take her to the horror flick without any envy here - I have nightmares for months after something like that!!

I'm a little high on Turkish Delight at the moment... so forgive me if my posts are long...

"I love my Captain!"

Magdalena, thank you! Yes, I had to go through a trial to win my warrior woman...I just hope I'm not her trial...that would be bad. She is mostly how you describe Leo's, but has a few quirks that are uniquely hers. And yes, horror movies are one of them!

You. Have. Turkish. Delight? Ok, where do you live, I'll be right over!

Yep, gotta love the fiery ladies
Although my two best friends in my life were both Aquarians. Did I mention Drool-Worthy boy is an Aquarious? That just adds to his appeal!
I'm actually really surprised I get along so well with so many Leos here; usually I talk to another fire sign and we instantly clash. Not sure what that's about. Glad to know it doesn't extend to everything, though!
Happy birthday to Tristan's lovely wife!
(why doesn't she post much anymore? Doesn't she like us?)

aquarians are good, although it does worry me sometimes that the stuff i read about them is, well, accurate, s'no reason for it to be, but, it is. still, c'est la vie, can always put it down to a fluke

but a big happy birthday to mrs Tristan
