We the Living by Ayn Rand probably tops my list of novels, and there are too many others to try and list individually. I like Grisham for a fun read, Robert Jordan and R.A. Salvatore for fantasy (hence my user name) and I like a wide range of people for more 'serious' books. Michael Ondaatje is excellent, Khaled Hosseini (Kite Runner), Ian McEwan, Frank McCourt...and others. Samuel Beckett is my favorite short-story writer/playwright, and e.e. cummings is my favorite poet. Menzo

I'm stressing about marking finals, but that's not for another few months. And speaking as a math/physics grad, physics is easy Now PE, there is a hard exam. Menzo

Horizontal tango...I love it! But no, I can exercise restraint around the boys when I need to. He didn't show up for class today, though, so I was sad about that. I hate being a TA, but he makes it worth it God I sound like those emotional people I hate... :wacko: Menzo

"Let's light some scented candles." Priceless

I was just thinking the same thing. Maybe some the quasi-IM conversations could be held in there, instead of in the main forums. Menzo

A post is a waste of space when it contributes NOTHING to the discussion at hand, it is in a thread that has no purpose to anyone, it is understandable by only a tiny fraction of the members, it is made for the sake of silliness/increasing post counts or it pisses off the majority of the GA members who read it. Forums are NOT places for IM conversations, and while a thread such as a 'Random Thread' is a good place for making such posts, posts that pollute the main body of the forums are just wasting space and other people's time. I don't like going to a once-interesting thread only to find that it is inundated with smilies, inside jokes and completely off topic posts. Menzo (who is a little annoyed as of late with this issue)

Have I ever mentioned how much I <3 you Vic? Cuz I do, and even more so now. Menzo

Makes for an interesting resume, dont you think? So Lola, what unique qualities do you think you can bring to the board room? Well, gee, sir, my background in Queer Studies will definitely be an asset in, like, creating letterhead and office design. What a candy-ass degree. I agree that a course or three in the sociological evolution of gay people could be rigorous, informative and useful but an entire degree program in Queer Studies ranks up there with degrees from Crackerjack boxes.

I still don't know who dumped whom, though. He mentioned it in passing at lunch today and then wouldn't talk about it. Maybe I'll take your suggestion, Vic. It seems like a 'safe' way to go about it. By the way, I prefer 'emotionally guarded' to 'mental' Menzo

A: I was being lighthearted with that comment. B: I have enough trouble finding people I can be with for weeks, let alone years. The fact that the months I've known him haven't revealed any major turnoffs is pleasantly surprising. I can find sexual partners easily enough, and that really isn't my main objective. I guess I had more or less given up up on him, but then I find out that he's single again and all of a sudden my interest was renewed. Being patient is boring. Menzo Life is so much easier when you dislike most people you meet and this sort of thing doesn't happen.

I've known him for a while, and I'm a friend, if not a close one. He didn't really talk about it much, so I'm not sure who ditched whom. He routinely did lunch with me during the relationship, so I'm not sure if he even sees me as just a friend. I've only met the ex once, and that was before I even knew they were dating, that's not an issue. It's just that, honestly, I've never made the first move before, and I have no desire to be the person who puts themself out there and gets embarrassed/hurt. I've done it to other people, and it's not fun for either party involved. Meh, I think I'll wait a bit and then see if I can make myself ask him. And Vic, I can exercise restraint when I want to Menzo

I don't usually get hung up over guys I can't have, but for whatever reason I've had a thing for this guy I know basically since I met him a few months ago. He just broke up with his boyfriend of three years, and my question to you all is this: How long is a person 'off-limits' after they end a serious relationship? I don't want to be rebound sex (although I'll take that over nothing) but I have also wanted to ask him out for a long time. Menzo (who almost never makes the first move)

Let's not forget Liza and Cher!

Have you ever fallen in love with someone who is straight?
Menzoberranzen replied to Hylas's topic in The Lounge
I'll wager that that person is significantly younger than you. I find many people my age throw around the word love far too often for it to have any real meaning. I once had someone ask why I would bother dating people I didn't love and the notion that love takes time seemed completely foreign to them. Menzo -

Menzoberranzen replied to Hylas's topic in The Lounge
I am curious about the definition of love you use. Infatuation and crushes seem likely, but I find it hard to imaging falling in love with someone whom you had never dated or shared really intimate moments with (although that could happen with a close friend, I guess.) I've never been in love, and I've never felt anything more than a mild physical attraction for a straight guy. Some of them are all right, but nothing that would cause me to fall in love. Menzo (who thinks love is overrated anyway) -
Post-whore is hardly worthy of being censored. Now whether or not your mother is another type of whore, I can't say, but post-whoring is commonplace on the boards. As is use of the word whore. Most of our post-whores are in utter denial about it, but we love them anyway. Vic is campaigning to save their souls and stop post count abuse, all for the poor, disillusioned post whores.

Wow, that wasn't even close. A bunch of stuff about being insecure (really, the least of my worries) and needing to feel loved and protected. Bleh. Usually I find these tests pretty good, but this one was way off the mark. Menzo

Mais le pire doit etre l'accent du Quebec Je ne supporte pas cet accent.
-
Mmm, les mecs parisiens ont les accents les plus sexy. Mais, les accents du Marseille sont aussi tres agreables.
-
No, I tend to dislike the older ones almost as much as the younger ones. People tell me that I'm the problem, but that's just silly I like being alone very much, so I don't mind holding out for the perfect guy. As for accents, I've never heard a Mauritian one, but I'm sure you have a very sexy voice Ieswar, don't worry. I also like South African ones, and certain British ones (Jeremy Irons in Brideshead Revisited or Damage, anyone?) I liked British ones a lot more before I moved to London, where every one and their dog has one. Menzo (who IS on-topic )
-
No; they're all too...blah. All of them. Too boring, too stupid, too self-absorbed, too giving, too something. Is perfection really that much to ask for? I mean god, all I want is a knight in shining armor, nothing over-the-top... (and I'm sure Alistair meets all of these criteria ) Menzo

Yay, a sports topic I can participate in. Nadal is hands-down my favourite tennis player, and I think he has some incredible talent. It's a shame his career will fall in the shadow of Federer. A few years earlier, or a few later, and he would benumber 1 in the world. Menzo
-
I <3 you, Vic, but he's mine, so back off bitch! For me, it's an Australian accent that sends me over the top. Jesse Spence from House.... Menzo

Yeah, and CJ is the one in denial I voted for six. I don't generally post unless I feel the need to say something about a particular topic. I guess number two applies to a certain extent, but mostly six. Menzo
