Thank you! We had a fantastic time! She was warm and cozy and wonderful. And she thinks the same of me.

Well, it’s not like I’ve submitted him to a polygraph test or anything, but I guess the simplest answer is I have no reason to suspect he’s not honest. His stories are always consistent with my impression of his personality. They also match his hobbies. Furthermore, he gives me no gut reason to distrust him.

Do you trust your friends? :dubious:

I recerntly ran into your friend R. He was on his way to meet your parents. I missed sushi with them!

I want to hang with your parents again. They’re freakin’ awesome!

When are you in town again?

You’d think real friends would have each other’s email address or even phone number.

So now I’m lying about being friends with **tdn**? Why? What possible good would that serve me?

Anyway, I’m living in Japan now and haven’t given a lot of people my new phone number. I haven’t lived across the street from **tdn** in two years, and we never really communicated through e-mail. If we needed to talk online, we’d PM here.

Sorry **tdn** , I forgot to let you know my parents would be in town over Christmas. They’ll probably visit again over the summer. As for myself, no clue. I’ll try to make a visit sometime this year, but I really don’t know yet.

It didn’t even occur to me that you might be lying- you misunderstand. I just am curious to know why tdn would hijack his own thread with this tediousness, when everybody knows that we are here to hear all about the hot monkey sex.

Ah, my apologies. I know you are a master snarker so I jumped the gun a bit.

Indeed. Back to the monkey sex!

{Mr. Burns fingers}Excellent.[/MBF}

Yeah, you need a better way to get there. Rent a car, dude. They’re so much quicker than the bus.
