cute as heck, appealing combo of refinement & goofiness

― timmy tannin (pompous), Friday, 3 November 2006 06:00 (nineteen years ago)

1) ass
2) amount of zelda games owned

― wordy rappinghood (roxymuzak), Friday, 3 November 2006 06:04 (nineteen years ago)

Amount of ass: PWNED

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 3 November 2006 06:11 (nineteen years ago)

i definitely take into account the amount of ass a potential mate has pwned

― wordy rappinghood (roxymuzak), Friday, 3 November 2006 06:13 (nineteen years ago)

PW(NED)?

Can I answer about the person I have (alas) fallen hard for but (alas) am not "with" (a.k.a. SO NOT GONNA HAPPEN)? If so: 1) eye contact, 2) voice, 3) cuteness, 4) smartness, 5) quietness, 6) telling me about how, at age 13 and living in some redneck hellhole, he got obsessed with Brian Eno and made it his mission to collect all of Eno's recordings.

Oh, and directing me to an image of an early prototype of Cookie Monster. ...AGH. ENOUGH.

Different girl, but I'll go ahead and second that.

Lack of music geekiness coupled with an inexplicable love for all things John Phillips

Oh, and the cowboy hat, red boots, sweet smile, and big boobs didn't hurt a bit

I'm a lucky man

― Milius (Roger Fidelity), Friday, 3 November 2006 06:28 (nineteen years ago)

ooh, I almost forgot: the naughty librarian aesthetic. This cannot be overstated. And later, the way she likes to watch BBC documentaries with me. :)

and big boobs don't hurt a bit.

― black sabbath just makes me want to take a nap (kenan), Friday, 3 November 2006 07:03 (nineteen years ago)

I really like this girl a lot. I am warm and I am fuzzy.

"and big boobs don't hurt a bit"

what if they're pointy?

― timmy tannin (pompous), Friday, 3 November 2006 07:08 (nineteen years ago)

they hurt when you get pregnant, trust

― wordy rappinghood (roxymuzak), Friday, 3 November 2006 07:22 (nineteen years ago)

You don't just have to be pregnant for them to hurt.

In any case, what first attracted me to Mister Monkey was
height
appealing nerdiness
great hugs

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Friday, 3 November 2006 07:38 (nineteen years ago)

what first repelled me was that he was called "mr monkey"

― wordy rappinghood (roxymuzak), Friday, 3 November 2006 07:42 (nineteen years ago)

her gigantic eyeballs.

That's just the kind of prejudice we've learned to deal with.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Friday, 3 November 2006 07:57 (nineteen years ago)

Hm. He was cute, goofy, and we both really liked the Fast Show and Futurama and spent all evening quoting shit and being retards. Only problem was, I was with someone else and he was only 19 (which I didnt know at the time).

Took 2 more years before we got around to going out but we've been together over 3 years now. And we still sit around quoting Futurama all the time =)

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 3 November 2006 08:11 (nineteen years ago)

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 3 November 2006 10:58 (nineteen years ago)

this is a good question. i wish i was 'with' someone to answer it tho.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 3 November 2006 11:06 (nineteen years ago)

"and big boobs don't hurt a bit"

Boobs were only point in the 50s. They fell out of fashion due to increasing lawsuits caused by 'having someone's eye out with those'.

― Ed (dali), Friday, 3 November 2006 11:18 (nineteen years ago)

1. ability to talk with me for 3 hours straight 2. dark hair and eyes 3. similar interests in music and books and 4. crazy thing where he'd be in a tie and all dressed up one day and the next day he was in a leather jacket and motorcycle boots

His ability to make me laugh, make me feel secure, make me feel special and to buy me lots of booze.

In no particular order:

1. Infinite kindness and generosity.
2. Infinite patience - three years of emails, and not once did she hurry anything; simply waited for me to sort out my demons and become ready for another relationship.
3. Completely and unreservedly on the same wavelength - emotional, aesthetic and every other way you can think of.
4. She was and is the only person prepared to take me on despite the Asperger's and everything else.
5. When I am with her the Asperger's disappears completely, or at least that's how it feels.
6. Infinite beauty - both internal and external (pace Earl Spencer).
7. She makes me feel like a teenager again, and also like an adult, as opposed to the pale ghost of a widower.
8. She is my soulmate, and I hers.
9. With us it's about helping each other to grow, to smile and to live truly and wonderfully.
10. We give ourselves to each other and it is the most natural thing in the world.
11. We fit together so well. The things we don't have individually, the other has in droves.
12. We make each other live again.

I don't think anyone can follow that up, so I won't. Not that I could if I'd wanted to, that is. ;-)

crazy thing where he'd be in a tie and all dressed up one day and the next day he was in a leather jacket and motorcycle boots

I think you've just described most every businessman ever between their work attire and their 'party' approach on the weekend. So I'm glad there were other factors involved.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 3 November 2006 15:21 (nineteen years ago)

Cute, self-confident, incredible smile, smartest person I'd ever met, undoubtedly WOW FEMALE. (24 years later: all of the above plus wrinkles and gray hair, and I still get a hard-on just from kissing her.)

the way she snorted when she laughed

When I hear this the people who do it are usually very self-satisfied with their awful, nerdy jokes and are only laughing because nobody else is.

― libcrypt, Monday, 7 January 2008 02:21 (eighteen years ago)

I very very occasionally do but only when I'm so stoned I am laughing hysterically and can't stop.

― Trayce, Monday, 7 January 2008 03:16 (eighteen years ago)

when she immediately started making fun of me for being an old pervert for trying to pick her up! hah.

Oh yeah before I talked to him, I saw him playing a Korg in the cuetest black metal-type sloppy band ever that had like a ten minute set. "Aw, how adorable, they think they're playing black metal!" (NB did not actually say that.) I also saw him over a year before in line to talk to/get sig of Andrew WK a few spots ahead of me after a show of his. Hello, WK love.
