Rugbug - Outstanding, I'm going to look those names up immediately. Currently in my "To Read" cache, I still have to finish a 2 1/2 inch thick book by Col. Hackworth (After I finished the Johnny Cash Autobiography I'm currently reading) but I'm thinking that if any of these guys you mentioned wrote books, they'll be next in line. Thanks again for your help.
MSG - I usually go with the "fuck it" response. I actually threatened to open a girl's throat last week when she made fun of my hat. She didn't seem too turned on by that, can't imagine why. Anyways, being alone isn't all that bad. I enjoy the solitude. This past weekend, it rained like crazy here where I live, cold and windy. Kept everyone inside. I went out for a nice 4 hour excursion on the local bikepath. I relish those moments, no people walking their dogs, no bicyclists, just me, like I'm the last person on Earth. I mean, you're married, right? Living with another person for so long, you must know what it's like to want to just be alone sometimes.
Itsawash - Eh, you're coming in kind of late to the conversation. I'm not looking to argue about this, but just about everything about me is diametrically opposed to the female gender. There'll always be sweethearts who think that there's hope for everyone, but really, would you want to motivate Ted Kosinski to keep playing the field? Some people just need to be left alone.
Desktophippie - Nah, I wasn't much for the penis lengthening techniques, either. Obviously some of the advice given is anachronistic, but there are modern translations. For example, where it suggests buying a potential spouse toys and candy to get her to like you. For the time and place it was written, finding potential partners while they were still 12 years old was pretty normal. But in essence, don't older women like "toys" themselves, all be it of a different nature?
"Men don't stop playing with toys, their toys just get more expensive"
Or something like that... anyways, that's true for both genders, I'd imagine.
On the subject of "You're dead to me" - No. I've been the victim of that far too many times to let it control my opinions about other people. I've found that talking to people in length about things, sometimes even over the course of a month, you can reveal their true meaning. Many people are just not very articulate; they say things that just come out wrong. I know at least one person who has a very severe problem with that.
I met a guy one time who thought that homosexuality was just plain wrong, wasn't up for discussion on the issue. Today, he wont hang out with me because I'm too conservative. And it wasn't me that got him all hippy-tree-hugging liberal, either. It was his girlfriend. But that's just an example of how meeting someone at the wrong time in their life can give you an un-fair impression of them.
Intolerance is the vestige of cowards without the capacity to accept that people can change. I was pleased to read where Desktophippie said "People clash. It's a fact of life. It's no big deal.". That is part of the foundation for human interaction. It's why I always talk about war and conflict. And people lacking that perspective, in my opinion, are responsible for more violence and hate than I will ever be capable of.

Place my body on a ship and burn it on the sea,
Let my spirit rise, Valkyries carry me.
Take me to Valhalla where my brothers wait for me.
Fires burn into the sky, my spirit will never die.

Oh sure blame it on the power of suggestion. You know people have different, uh, threshholds of, er, sensitivity to, um, suggestion...what was I talking about again.
*feels sudden thralldom overtake his entire being*
Don't know what got into me, I really didn't mean to be disobdient. Perhaps a spanking is in order? Oh, yes, Nico, I forgot. Well perhaps Mavoureen could take your place...
*blinks*
What the hell just happened there? Anyone?

JQ- I'm mildly impressed that you still have a romantic vein.

Mav-Thank you, I think. Perhaps it's the juxtapositioning of overlapping thoughts in the thread, but I do believe you've succeeded making me
something not even MsG or PR have been able to do (DTH came really close once at the Pub though...think she remembers?)"Well, here I am...Does that seem right to you?"

Still here and mildly lurking. Waiting for her to call back. She had to deposit some borrowed money into my account. Just me playing Mighty Mouse again gettin' myself into potential trouble. But I saved the day when she was gone this weekend.
The next two or so weeks are gonna suck major ass. BabySis is out of town so we'll have to hold our own with BabyV 'til she gets back. I've got a bunch of decoy work for an upcoming show. Need to give Sissy's court advocate some cash in the next two weeks. Its been freekin' cold. And Lonliness has already set in over the above mentioned GND.
On the brighter side I showed one of my co-workers (female) pics of Drew Barrymore on Flixter. I think we were both drooloing a bit. Unfortunately mine was noticed. Oh well. It was worth it.

Jonny- that is one very excellent suggestion.
NV- I guess it comes down to, what's worse, knowing or not knowing and as a subset, if not knowing drives her away, will you ever be able to forgive yourself??? I hope this works out for you hon, 'cause I can think of no other who deserves a great girl more. You do what feels right and if you think you're going to choke, it might help to know she's likely as nervous and filled with " does he really like me the way I want" concerns as you.
CMH- yeah depending on how that was deliverd I might think you were a humorless psycho...however, depending on tone of voice and how well I knew you, I also might laugh. MisterG and I have buikt in lots of alone time. He plays WoW and I do my own thing. I also have groups of friends I do stuff with that doesn't usually include him and he has friends he does stuff with and I'm not there. I really like the " let there be spaces in your togetherness" However inherently social I am, I do have those times when I wander away from people.
Firefly female I most like. Well I think Kaylee is obviously the strongest and most powerful, but I find Inara the most interesting.
PR- really I know you're gentle too ( I'm not, but that's hardly the point) we just think ...well ok I'll stop now:)

Let's just say, mei mei (and the last time I called one of you mei mei I got yelled at, but I'm a slow learner) if you ever have made me blush, I'd never admit to it (there might be Nico's and Missuses lurking about...!) You do have some of the damnedest (forsaken?) posts, girl.

Ahhhh..MSG - you're back and I've been dying to ask you a question all day...
Do you have a really good Lemon Chicken recipe? I tried to make one last night and it was horrible. I ended up throwing out the sauce and we just ate the chicken breasts.
I'm also on the lookout for a good Honey-Mustard sauce...
Everyone one I've tried from the Internet (all of 2, mind you) have been yucky.
Can you help a girl out?
Also, JQ - Somehow I don't think Mrs Quest and/or Mr Mavourneen would appreciate the spankies. I do understand your zeal for punishment, but...

Rugbug: Nice quotes!
I don't think someone can do something to make me think you are dead to me right away unless they are blatantly cruel, unbelievably stupid, or intolerably ignorant.
The people I have known for a while in my life that have made me say you are dead to me were either cruel to me or more likely someone I love or they lied. I simply can not tolerate lying.
Favorite Firefly females:
1. River
A very close 2. Zoe
3. Kaylee
4. Inara
