post one reason dating the poster above you would rule and one reason it would suck

oh ms. misery... HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAH

because he's being reasonable?

Le cœur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point, chaki.

r: smart, funny, amusing cat stories
s: uses made up fancy-man "language" in conversation

r: very funny and could teach me to make many new drinks
s: exasperating

r: is in nursing school
s: lives in a very cold place

r: Has loads of animals
s: Has ringworm

Horror stories aside, wouldn't it be much better to meet him at least once before moving to the other side of the planet?

Not if you have a hankering to see the other side of the planet anyway. I mean, it's not like she's breaking up a long-term existing relationship to go across the world. If it doesn't work out, fuck it, she'll move on.

Not that you can't speak for yourself, Rubyredd.

:) is totally cool with internet romance
:( has vagina (or does she?? since it's the internet, I WILL NEVER BE SURE)

accentmonkey, you just nailed it.

haha, you said our status as animal saviors means to wear the ringworm scars with pride!

Ilx loves to speak for other people. It's what those who have no lives of their own do best.

Ruby, you have opened me up for all manner of zing with the vagina comment but that's okay. I forgive you.

haha, you said our status as animal saviors means to wear the ringworm scars with pride!

I utterly lied. For this reason, you should not date me.

:( Well fortunately G has not developed scars. And all the abandoned cats are getting baths and expensive medicine. All is well in east Austin.

c: doesn't say much
d: ILNFL relationships gross!

c: power is afrodeeziac
d: what he said

c: enigmatic
d: no idea which regular poster he is

c: Probably has a fantastic surname!
d: I might be wrong about the surname.

The latter is certainly true. I did do some painting today, though.

OH MY GOD THAT IS FANTASTIC.

Busted!

tuomas, i play much more than rock music, you n00b!

But on the other thread you said you play in a rock band... And you hate Jaco Pastorius. :( What's a "noob"?

c: Is honest about when he doesn't know something!
d: beard

A noob or n00b is someone that lacks intellegance or common sense, most people think that noob is a word used only in the online gaming world, but in reality it is becoming an ever popular word with teenage society.
a noob could be simply a level 100 running round shouting ''WTF DO I GO!?'' or someone calling someone else a noob and then getting hit with a brick, anyone can call anyone a noob, but normally they are noobs themselves

*gets shot with chaingun*

"this game is no good, you all suck noobish balls you stupid noobs!*

Abbott gets a free pass on posting to ILX a lot: I love New Mexico and all, but the Enchantment comes with a decent amount of free time.

lacks intellegance

i dont have to date myself!, abbot!

also:

c: we would make sweet sweet love to morricone soundtracks
d: GROSS!

This thread moves too fast.

I remember when I first met this student pal of mine, and he said he plays the bass, and I was like "Wow, really?" because I'd been just listening to stuff like Mingus and Stanley Clarke, and then I asked what band he plays in, and he replied, "Children of Bodom". I had to hold my tongue not to say my opinion on that band, because the guy was really nice and friendly.

good story

Just to make it more clear, Children of Bodom is a local death metal band. Or something like that, I'm not too familiar with metal subgenres.

they kind of kick major ass

playing in a death metal band is like the golf of scandinavia

or it will be in ten years or so

Dude, Bodom hoodies are at the mall here. Pretty well-known in those circles.

The Finnish foreign exchange student at my high school was a complete snob about the pronunciation of Bodom. If someone said it "boh-dum" she would go on this huge soapbox about Lake Bodom and how can you be so stupid that you don't know about it, etc etc etc for at least five minutes.

"local"

xpost, I'd be pretty pissed if I had to move to middle America

She was very, very funny about it. "I'm not allowed to wear a see-through shirt to school? What the hell is this country! In Finland, we get all our food for free and bus rides, too. And we actually think!" It was kind of awesome.

stfinnsu

i'm assuming that was after you explained what food and buses were to her

I'm not if all the Finns can pronounce "Bodom" properly either, it's a Swedish name and should be pronounced boo-dom, but I've often heard people say it boh-dom, the Finnish way. There was a very famous murder case in the sixties that happened at Lake Bodom, which is why the band chose that name I assume, but I don't see why your exchange student thought Americans should know about that.

I know! She was hilarious because she was so vituperous about fucking EVERYTHING. "These trees are so ugly here! I hate the sounds of your filthy American birds!"

Did you also explain that she paid 50% taxes? Or did they not teach that in Finland?
