Teacup Café XXXII

[katya]

I was obsessed with crayon colors in elementary. I could probably have named all the colors in a 64 pack from memory, and I remember I was incredibly envious of anyone with a 96 or however many pack. We used to draw a lot too. Those were the days.

The electronics are quiet now. Almost... too quiet. Constant vigilance!

[Empress_Flynn]

Those were the days! I remember when we got giant pencils in school... I really miss giant pencils.

And the hardest part of my day was making a pine cone birdfeeder...

I'm so glad I'm done with school...

Yes... but the question is... how can we monitor the electronics when we're not around? We can't use more electronics!

*ponders*

[katya]

I'd say we could call up the ghosts and tell them we aren't afraid of them anymore, and try and develop our psychic powers, but I think maybe that uses electricity. They might intercept it.

[Empress_Flynn]

yes... so the theory goes.. ghosts require electricity to manifest...

I watch way too much Ghost Hunters Anywho...

Hmm yes, there are a few kinks to work out, but a ghost alliance just might be possible.

Pie?

[katya]

I think my answer to all of that is "yes".

I might need a nap soon. Feast makes me sleepy.

[Empress_Flynn]

And I think I might need bed soon... 11 PM after a long day out makes me sleepy

*hands over some pie*

[katya]

Going to sleep after a long day is always nice.

[Empress_Flynn]

Especially when you have someone to spoon with!

[katya]

Word.

[Empress_Flynn]

Hehe ^^ Well, I trust you to carry on the Teacup spammery after your nap and whilst I am in bed ^^

Can I trust you with this mission?

And also the mission to make contact with the other side in hopes of an alliance against the evil robots?

[katya]

You can count on me. *salute*

[sisterandcousinandaunt]

So there were no ghosts prior to Ben Franklin?

[The last sane person]

Heh. Correspoondence = Pillow talk with your big/little spoon.

[sisterandcousinandaunt]

I'll have to take your word for it.

[The last sane person]

Either that or try it yourself.

Fun times...

[sisterandcousinandaunt]

Can't even get to my darn movie, smarty pantses.

Whats her (or your) style...re dresses?

And I wanna see a picture of your fella.

Too lazy to post a picture of him, but trust me, he's very handsome.

We actually found a dress for her today!! It's so beautiful. It's chocolate brown with spaghetti straps. It has a narrow sash that hangs down the left with a small, square bling-y pin about 1 square cm in size. It's flow-y but not too loose. I love it and so does my future husband. <3

My wedding dress also has spaghetti straps and a full length skirt. It's white, with subtle, beaded embroidery on the bodice. There is a long sash that widens which you tie into a bow to kinch the waist. There are numerous small gathers evenly spaced on the skirt. I'm going to rent a crinoline for it to poof it out. I also have white satin heels.

I would love some random soup!! Allow me to add freshly-baked real sourdough bread.

Woot! I'm getting better!

But Nurv is right. Arabic numerals did lift the standard quite a bit. We still use them now, so hey, something worked.

OUCH! *rubs hiney tenderly... so as not to aggravate the pain!!! What did you think I meant???*

My parents have been really supportive (or my mom at least), his parents haven't been, so much... but we're both adults, he's even older than I am, and it's our decision. We've discussed it a lot and it's just the decision that seems to make the most sense...

It's funny, we're both really old-fashioned, him even more so than me. I would LIKE to have my parents' blessing, but if we have the means to be married and they're just not letting me because they want me to wait, I'm all for skipping that and eloping or something. Or just getting married anyway. But my boyfriend really thinks my dad should give us permission. He asked my dad for permission to date me before we began officially dating.

It might sound kind of odd, but he thinks of it like this: When a girl is born, she is given to the charge of her father. She is his responsibility until she gets married, when she goes into the charge of her husband. That's why parents "give" their daughters to the man at weddings, traditionally. It probably sounds pretty sexist, because it stems from a sexist time period, certainly, but my boyfriend isn't like that. He takes to heart the equal idea (a husband and wife have equal status, but different roles). Even if he is the sole breadwinner, I would be his wife, and it won't be HIS money, or MY money. It would be OUR money. That sort of thing.

Hyrulian Saviour! Hahahahaha that is so funny!!!!!!!! I'll seriously have to consider it!! Hmm...maybe not so much Zelda lover, but indeed Link lover...hahaha I am SO WEIRD. But I think I'm cool..., which is probably why Im a loser...

The thing about high school relationships that I figured out is you need to find out if the guy you are dating is looking for something lasting, or just something for fun. If it's just for fun, go hang out with him just for fun. If not, and your motives are similar, go for dating.

I had a boyfriend before my current one, and I made the mistake of assuming he was dating to assess the possibility of marriage. He wasn't. It was really sad. I had a very long email conversation with my current boyfriend (it lasted a month) about motives before we even attempted hanging out socially (going bowling and dinner at a Village Inn), let alone dating!

I always loved Trig. It holds a special place in my heart.

Yeah... I was on here for two years in the LOTR quote game before I realized how to use the rest of Entmoot. I think I just missed my 500th post. I didn't realize till 800 that you could change your title. Or HOW to change a title, rather.

Aw, that is cute. My fiancé did think about asking my dad for permission, but he didn't. Personally I place absolutely no importance on this activity, but I think it's cute that he thought about it (even though I actually think asking for permission is dumb). But to each their own. Couples should go about their business in a way that makes them both feel comfortable.

It started out sexist, but that doesn't mean we can't appropriate the tradition and make it not sexist. My fiance and I were trying to decide about how to do aisle-walking. My Mom thought it would be nice for my Dad to give me away, not because she thinks I'm property, but because my Dad is very important in my life and the action would represent the importance of family in my life. I decided though, that my fiancé and I walking down the aisle together is more symbolic of our relationship. My fiancé likes the idea.


I think I missed some important posts of yours, Empress Flynn and/or Shesabrandybuck.

Trig and algebra were my favourite in high school and remain so to this day.

I certainly don't think getting parents' permission to marry is a bad idea. I wouldn't want to cause strife within the family. If the (hypothetical) parents don't like them, then I think it's worth trying to help them see what you love about them, or maybe you'll end up seeing why the parents don't like them. But, when it comes down to it I think parents have a lot of misunderstandings and fears too, and you should do what you think is best in the end. I would elope if I had to. I think my dad wants to slay my boyfriend with a fireman's ax, and I think his dad just doesn't like me for no particular reason that I can figure out. I think they're starting to come around though.

Yes! Someone appreciated the Moody-ness!!!
