I’m new to SDMB, and I just wanted you all to know that I am absolutely, irretrievably, undeniably in love with the most wonderful man in the world. And the best part is that he loves me back. WOW! 😃 ---

Why d’ye think I’ve been avoiding running nekkid **here** for the last few days? evlkitty, love, tell me he’s got you confused with someone else. Someone without that lovely twitching motion your left eyelid makes when you’re surprised. Someone who has a mole on her left shoulder, not her right. Someone who **doesn’t enjoy a good game of hackysack**. Or did you … were you not fulfilled? It’s me, isn’t it? I can take it if it is. Just be honest. [sub]I never liked hackysack anyway.[/sub] ---

**evlkitty** , have you been drinking again? No matter. Hold this. No, not that way, like _this_. Yes, that’s right. Got a good grip on it? Ok, hang on. - dammit, where is that vat of chipotle seasoned bacon grease? \* ---

Sure it’s all good now. But then you’ll find something you don’t like and you’ll try to change him. And he’ll go along with it. Then you’ll find something else wrong. And you’ll change him again. Repeat a few more times. Then you’ll tell him a few years later “You’re not the man I fell in love with.” ---

> [@Lanzy](#): > > Posting because your title promised WOW but does not deliver. Change to mean just you. True, I only meant WOW in the most selfish of ways. I wanted my first thread to be some deep, thought provoking statement or question to ponder, but all I could think of at the time was “WOW…” and I wanted to tell the world. So there it is. 😛 ---
