Happy birthday to my roommate/adopted brother Alex. I have had a lot of alcohol.

Zombie, did I ever tell you my mom had one of these Jello molds when I was growing up? Strawberry jello with whipped cream mixed gets just the right color.
Huzzah! That's completely delicious looking!!

Men tend to be binary, women are...ah...polyary? I find that this is the biggest issue between men and women- men are very yes/no, while women understand maybe and all of the shades in between.

I always thought of it as Men are Vulcans, Women are Romulans.

Thank you! And yeah, I'm lucky that I can sew. Doing minor alterations like taking in waistbands on pants has saved me a great deal of money this year.

You did say ANY clothing purchases, right? ;)

If by this you mean that Men (falsely) claim that their actions are dictated by (misunderstood) logic and are becoming mindless when it comes to sex then you are probably right.

Naah, more along the lines of women sneak up on us while invisbile, then blast us into nonexistence with full disruptors. Then they dance on the ashes.

Not in my experience.
Actually this notion that men are somehow more simple baffles me. Especially when my husband says it right after we've had some major misunderstanding because he was upset with me for not being able to read his mind.....right. Sorry, but no. You don't get to say you're simple and then act complicated. :/
Going back and forth between social circles that are made up of girls and ones made up of guys I find that both sets have complicated social rules that somehow you're supposed to learn by observation which isn't always so easy and that whichever set of rules you know seems simple and the set you don't know seems mysterious and complicated. And for those of us caught in the middle both sides are maddening.

Wow... and I thought I'd get in trouble for my "girls should be hot and sweet"* comment...
*Actually, I've found if you like someone enough, they're pretty much always gonna be the hottest person in the room to you, and I can do perfectly fine without sweet, which, for some reason, sounds a little bit too doormatty to me.
But tea should still be just below body temperature when you drink it, and contain plenty of sugar or honey.

Which is why I just do my own thing and don't try to play by anyone's rules but my own. I don't fit in many "social circles" as a result, but the ones I do are the closest friends you could ever have.

I prefer unsweetened tea myself, but to each their own. :)
Sorry if I went off a bit. That men/women differences thing has become a bit of a pet peeve, mostly because I keep getting clobbered with it from both sides.
That and lack of sleep means I'm having some of the same issues Lindisty was complainign about earlier on the subject of really, really wanting to argue with people who are wrong on the internet.....I should probably just step away from the keyboard for a few and go do my homework.....

Hmmm....a new game. What ever more ludicrous Men are/Women are scenarios can we come up with?
Men are the "water-certified strippers" and women are the prehistoric, yet rapidly-evolving pirhana intent on devouring them.
*snerk*
Okay, when you make it crazy enough it's actually funny.

No worries, I'm actually rather fed up with the whole men and women are so different thing too.
We will have to talk about the unsweetened tea, though... ;)

This is true. Great conversation and a winning personality are way hotter than washboard abs.
Or, you know, big boobs... If you're into that sort of thing...
