Well, other than 30) which would change “occasional” to “mighty large” I think I’m willing to step up to the plate. As long as you add 43) Is just as comfortable dressing to the nines going out as sitting around in sweats reading a book. ---

So that _ **I** _ miss the big play when I go to the kitchen? Not on your life, mate; get your own damn beer 😉 Hm, I guess I’m of your list now, eh? Bummer :eek: ---

Well ideally, she’d be NEXT to me watching the game (regardless of sport), but I didn’t want to be TOO greedy… ---

1. Have a deep, passionate love of the arts. 2. Love music and theater. 3. Love writing. 4. Understand that sometimes I have to write, and that things in my work that are similar to our relationship are not necessarily at all about our relationship. 5. Not mind me running my fingers though her hair. 6. Tell me I’m pretty sometimes, and get used to being told that she’s pretty as well. I think relationships need this. 7. Have quiet intensity. 8. Understand that sometimes cuddling is needed more than sex. 9. Have faith in herself. 10. Not say, “No, I’m not” when presented with a compliment. 11. Want to cook with me… willingness to make sugar cookies at three am is a bonus. 12. Understand that I get crushes on other girls, but know that I am faithful. 13. Be mindful of public displays of affection, but not be afraid of holding hands when it’s safe to do so. 14. Be willing to disagree. 15. Be able to live without me, but just prefer not to. 16. Understand that some trivial things are important. Buffy is very important to me, silly as that is. This board is important to me. Stuff like that. 17. In time, learn to always be on the left side. (My right side is my deaf side.) 18. Have beautiful eyes. 19. Posess a wicked sense of humor. 20. Not take anything I say early in the morning to heart. 21. Be willing to dance for no reason. 22. Be able to speak of the problems of our relationship without having things degenerate. 23. Be honest, but understand the need for some privacy. 24. Understand that the personal is political. 25. Understand that my five minutes can be another person’s hour. 26. Tell me when something’s wrong. 27. Say “I love you” several times a day. 28. Keep me still. I’m lucky. I found her. ---

Also bored sadly, and on the verge of a procrastination binge methinks. I think you overestimate the so-called throng tho’… Enjoying the boards so far? ---

Why, dpr! Who knew that you’d notice! Boards are grand. They keep me up way, way too late, but hell, I can sleep when I’m dead. Other than that, where else can I get on a public forum and blather all day about nothing in particular? Perfect concept. Ooooh, I’m going back to bed. My head hurts. ---

Yet another dark evening comes but without sleep as a companion. And once again I’m drawn almost hypnotically to the boards. And once again, Nym is absent. Well, as if THAT ever stopped me from rambling on… How’s life today? It’s quiet here. The rain is tumblig down on the roof (one of my favourite sounds in the world) and as I mentioned sleep alludes me. The frenetic pace of the past few days has yet to catch up with me and hopefully will continue to remain at arm’s length for another three or four days (when we finish the move we’re currently in the middle of). As for your suggested 43, I think it’s a very good one. I thought I’d covered it already to be honest but I guess I only implied it with 28. It was there mentally (and it’s the thought that counts remember). Anyway other threads are calling my name softly and their siren’s call can only be ignored for so long… Next time you’re on feel free to give me the basic **nym** tour… ---

**dpr,** we seem to be missing each other left and right. Either I dropped a 6 somewhere trying to figure out the time difference or you keep weird hours. Not that I dislike weird hours mind you, but I think one of us has to keep normal hours for the time difference to even out. I promise to not ask for coherent sentences until you’re done moving. One of the greatest tasks is cave switching. I feel for you. What do you want to hear on the Nym tour? Other than the hours I’m awake. 😃 ---

I think thebasic nym tour would just be a little “So tell me a little about yourself” basic spiel. “Hi! _giggle_ My name’s Nym and I like alcohol and dolphins and umm… world peace” Thanks for the understanding re coherent sentences. After today I may be offline for two or three days too… How will I live?? ---

Um…okay, I’m Nymysys _giggle_ and…Ew. Not my thing. I’m Nymysys. I’m 27. I live in Chicago. I like soup. I do various and sundry things, but few that cause me to leave the house. Didn’t I do this on the singles page already?
