Whoops.. Look like I have to redeem yourself.\

1. Actually you are right. I feel like a heel because many of my points are centered around recognition of various oversimplifications (Por ejemple: ZOMGZ LE OBESITY EPIDEMIC!!!! UR FAT LOLOLOLLZZZZZ! ONE1ELEVEN!”, “Losing weight counters acceptance of oneself.”), and yet me describing you as being “Taken” wouldn’t be any different. I use the term a lot, and personaly I imply relationships as being 50/50. Plus I don’t personally think that the second you end up being single, that you’ll be on the finger of another man in seconds, but I guess using the term like that would imply that’s what I meant. I’m sorry for being too vague on the whole thing, and I really hope that I didn’t offend you.

2. No you’re not! Don’t go there. *Snaps Fingers*
But since you want to play ze age game: FOXY GRANDMA! :P :P

Great…. I’m totally sounding like your everday 19 year-old right now. :P (SIGH)

Sarah, I haven’t picked a date yet, but I’m fully intending to get my ass to New York within the next couple of months. You must come out and tell me more about living with passion when I do!

OMG! I am blushing! I am honored! Through and through, thank you. Also, um, Kate? I hope there are many nights of boozy drinks and lake breezes in our future because I think you are a smart as whip live wire whose energy is infectious! Hope you didn’t mind my rambling about “living with passion…” :)

Deborah, we’re even on the red-facedness, because I just realized I wrote “wine” for “whine” and left it up there for nearly 24 hours. (One of my favorite things about this being my blog, though, is that I can edit the typos out of my own comments.)

And you’re linked!

Boy is my face red. I thought my name was hyperlinked, since I type it in when I set up the comment area. d'OH! Anyway: Property of a Lady is kind of unimpressive today since I just got back from vacation.

Jon B., uh, thanks, but two things:

1) “Taken” is a pretty loaded term. I’m sure your intentions were good, but you’re going to want to watch language that frames women as men’s property — and suggests that if they were not in relationships, they would be available for the “taking” to whomever got there first, regardless of their own desires.

I made a choice to be with Al, and I keep making that choice every day. Big difference between that and having a “Property of Al” stamp on my ass, you know?

2) I’m also old enough to be your grandmother. :)

Ok… I don’t want to be blunt, and I know you’re taken, but: YOU’RE FECKIN’ SEXY! :P
Carry on… ^_^

It helps if you include your url when you whine, Deborah. :) (I’ve looked at your blog via Roberta before, but I don’t remember where it is!)
