I was with one, on and off, for years, though I’m sure he’d never cop to it. I was never put off by it, and actually found the attention (including the sort that didn’t work so well for you) quite a turn-on, in a very unexpected way! Never saw that one coming. I even still kind of miss it, though whether that’s part…

You and me are on the same wavelength once again!

On your second point, I hate to admit it, but I agree.

All very fair points, but the pizza has always been god-awful, no matter which location is came from, so... that could be part of the issue!

“Tell me, Ray, you ever wear one that says ‘UNDERCOVER’?”

I adore Out of Sight.

The only reason 95% of the people who move to L.A. do so, is to be in the Entertainment Industry in one way or the other.

I know, it’s heartbreaking.

I’m so sorry. It’s such a shitty professional situation, and once you’re in it, it’s so hard to break your way back out, which is much harder when the job market is crap (which it certainly is in my hometown, where she still lives).

It’s horrifying.

As you no doubt damned well know, it’s a very small percentage. But yeah, sure, let’s condemn all men for the actions of a tiny but visible minority.

I get up to a lot of this regularly with my LDR dude, and he’s a ton of fun to do this with. The fact that it’s been going on for so long and hasn’t gotten any less fun (and that in person we’ve had even more fun) is something I kind of weirdly cherish, I guess because most of the time he is pretty far away. It’s a…

I realize this post is 8 months old, but it’s still going on; I just had this happen to me a couple days ago. (Heads up: I used “garbage,” not “trash,” and on a very private post on someone else’s page; still got banned.)

To each their own, though I vaguely recall enjoying Ever After, though I haven’t revisited it.

lol @ people learning recipes directly from their heritage somehow equaling “stuck up.”

I mostly recall discussing fiction with him, yes, but now and then a bit of nonfiction!

Compared to a sauce you’d add flour to for no good reason? Yes, it is considerably so. More so than even a basic marinara, too, or a pesto sauce.

He’s lovely, albeit a bit... nutty. He hangs out at the bookshop I used to work at pretty regularly.

Same! Speaking as an indie publisher myself (and as a bookseller who used to have Keanu as an extremely lovely and enthusiastic regular at my old shop, and whose current shop houses part of his personal collection in one of our antiquarian cases), this has been one of my favorite things about him for some time now.

Possibly. Then again, most men I know have gone gray in the beard years, if not decades, before any gray shows up on any other part of their heads.
