How long?

Eating. Generally, I am a very slow eater. I'm the first to start, last to finish. Takes me usually between 40mins to an hour to eat my dinner with a few leftovers at the end. How long does it take you to eat your dinner?

So I'm a slow eater and thought (I know, I really have got to get out more) how long would it take me to eat a lolipop without biting or crunching it, just sucking? Took me over an hour. How long does it take you to consume an average sized chuppa chups lolipop?

How long does it take to tidy your room? Do you keep everything in it's place as you go along or does it become a complete pig-sty before you tell yourself it's time to tidy it?

How long is it since you last told someone you loved them?

This Ned is equal and opposite to the Red Ned in that I'm usually the first one done mealwise -- but I can linger when the food is really that good. Meanwhile, the room is almost always tidy because I'm a pretty strong neat freak and the last time I told somebody I loved them would have been to my mom and dad, bless them. I'll doubtless be doing that again for my mom on Mother's Day this Sunday.

I linger when the food is worth lingering over, and I try to match pace with others when eating with them. If I order a mediocre pizza to be delivered and then eat it alone, it is gone rather quckly.

I eat extremely fast. Usually because I am really hungry by the ttime I get my food. Actually, I'm always really hungry. I also am a neat freak. I used to endust my floors in college. People were always falling.

It's a week since I told someone 'I love you'. But he won't speak to me anymore, my own fault. But perhaps if he's reading, I love you very much.

Futile, I guess. Heartbroken.

Oh and I tell my boyfriend I love him everyday. Usually because I've done something wrong.

― Carey (Carey), Monday, 5 May 2003 13:51 (twenty-three years ago)

So what happened today? You dumped a load of squirrel tails on him?

I eat v. slowly if I'm also watching TV. I eat v. quickly if it's some sort of family/social occasion and I need to get the eff out of there so I can go back to watching TV.

I tell her that I love her a lot lately, since we almost just broke up and I'm very very happy that we didn't.

I usually make it halfway and then set it aside til later, so...2 days? Woah!

How long does it take to tidy your room?

Cleaning my room always turns into cleaning my landing/den, which leads to cleaning my entire upstairs, which leads to cleaning the entire house, so HOURS.

Do you keep everything in it's place as you go along or does it become a complete pig-sty before you tell yourself it's time to tidy it?

I love everything in it's right place. < /thom yorke>

In the spring/summer/fall, my house stays quite clean, free of clutter, dishes done, laundry where it's supposed to be, etc., but in the winter, it becomes an out of control detritus wasteland, cuz I is a hybernator-type.

How long is it since you last told someone you loved them?

If my son counts: this morning.
If my son doesn't count: last weekend, just kinda slipped out ("a drunken man's mouth is a sober man's mind")

Depends on the meal. If it's a hamburger or a pizza, no reason not to snarf it down. But if it's a huge spread like I had the pleasure to partake of this weekend... grilled fish and vegetables, sausages, three different salads, two different kinds of empanadas, just a huge amount of food. I didn't even get around to everything. We ate for three hours, I guess, a little at a time, between beers. Very very mellow.

I eat entirely too quickly. I need to slow down cuz my metabolism sux.

I try to tidy a little every day so things don't get out of hand. I dunno. 20 minutes a day? Less? But sometimes things have to wait until the weekend to get tidied.

I last told s.o. I loved them about an hour ago via phone.

The speed I eat varies with how anxious I am. If I'm worried about anything, I eat really quickly.

I don't really eat sweets very often. I call lolipops "suckers," but that has nothing to do with why I rarely eat them.

I rarely just clean my room. Usually it's the whole apartment. I tend to clean small things (desk, etc.) when I notice they are dirty or messy, so it rarely catches up to the point that I feel I need to drop everything and clean.

I tell my SO I love her pretty much every day. Last night before I went to bed was the last time I said it to her as of this moment.

One of the many interesting facts I learned this weekend is that Matos eats faster than a motherfucker.

― hstencil, Monday, 5 May 2003 15:38 (twenty-three years ago)

but does he fuck faster than a mothereater?

?!!?!!?!? Dan Perry has been challenged in one fell swoop!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 5 May 2003 15:43 (twenty-three years ago)

oops, we didn't get that far. Hell, as a group we didn't start talking about sex until the last 40 miles of the drive yesterday!

How long does it take you to consume an average sized chuppa chups lolipop? hmmm, about 10 minutes.

How long does it take to tidy your room? 3-4 hours, don't do cleaning very often.

Do you keep everything in it's place as you go along or does it become a complete pig-sty before you tell yourself it's time to tidy it? - Pigsty!

How long is it since you last told someone you loved them? - Probably ages, I'm not that free with my emotions.

I am a very, very slow eater, but I do know slower. I don't tidy often, and it's phases, so I don't know. It's pretty messy generally. And sadly, I have not had opportunity to say "I love you" to anyone since the end of my marriage, almost two years ago.

i'm quite a quick eater, this is because i'm in a hurry to do everything. i hardly ever tidy my room, i don't think it would take more than hour to do so if i wanted to. maybe two hours if i wanted to properly file the loose bits of lecture notes strewn on my desk, my bed, the floor... but really, if everythings on the floor, i can see where it is. i think i told duckling i "love you forever" on saturday night, but that was more an expression of thanks and i don't think it came across as very sincere, though i do love her.
