Kevin's Watch

VF: Cho would never, ever, mock anybody for any reason whatsoever. Whatever she says, I guarantee 100% that you can take it at face value.

If she refers to you as 'adorable', she finds you adorable. With no qualifications. The gracious response is 'Thank you', not 'You're wrong'.

Well said, Edge.

Well said Edge.

I feel lousy. I'm leaving tomorrow for Florida. My step mother has been put on life support and probably will not make it through the weekend. My father has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. That didn't come as too much of a shock, given the repetative conversations we've had over the last few months. To make matters worse, one of my dog's legs may have to be amputated pending test results due back Friday. And I'm hungover.

Reads like a bad country song, doesn't it? At least my pickup's still running (knocks viciously on wood).

Cail,

I'm sorry to hear that. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Oh Cail --

Loremaster may well be as you describe him, but I wish you wouldn't say such things about me, even in jest. I am perfectly well aware that I am not adorable, which I can prove on the excellent grounds that I have never been adored. I'm not even particularly likable.

I'm sure it wasn't your intent, but remarks like that always make me feel as if I'm being mocked for being egotistical.

I apologize if I made you feel mocked.

While I was speaking with tongue in cheek a bit, I was sincere in stating that I find the both of you darling from what I see in your posts.

There's no accounting for tastes , I suppose. Generally, if I like someone, I find them adorable. I find Cail and Lord Mhoram and Cheval and Edge and Av and Danlo and Furls and Ducky and Malfi and a lot of others around here adorable as well.

I am just easily pleased, I guess.

I find you very likable, in the limited exposure I have to you.

No mocking intended.

I don't find DANdeLION adorable--too egotistical--

Spoiler

Just kidding. You are totally adorable, Dan.

((((Cail)))) I'm so sorry to hear of the stuff going on with you. *sending love and strength vibes your way.

Sorry to hear about all of that stuff, Cail. Good luck with it all. Hope it works out.

Me, I just feel cheesy.-jay

Cho,

Why thank you Cho, we all find you adorable too!

I am just easily pleased, I guess.

I disagree. We are all just awesome people.

Oh, no, it wasn't you. I've just never learned to be comfortable with that kind of compliment.

Thank you! Now you're making my eyes mist over. My room is going to go all swimmy on me, and it's all your fault!

This is really all very strange. I mean, adorable? Not even my mother ever called me that. Not since I was old enough to understand what she was saying, anyway. I'm deeply touched.

By the way, Cail —

I don't know of anything helpful to say, but I devoutly hope things will get better for you. You'll be in my prayers, if that counts for anything at all.

Awwww.....


Shucks.

I'm not. Serious. 1. There are better men than me. 2. I'm too emotionally damaged or insecure. I honestly don't think that I am a great catch, as my history is very much a string of disasters. The common pattern is for me to show interest, start emailing, or calling, and then suddenly I get the 'ignoring' tactic where women refuse to answer my calls or respond to emails, and I never hear from the again. By far the most devastating even happened a month ago where I was chasing a lovely French woman. We had so many similarities - same tastes in art, literature and philosophy. We had one date - she drove up to my country town - and then the next day she emails me saying she wont contact me again.

I'm not a great catch. I understand that you all have been misled from my watch persona, but the real me is so very diferent.

Bah--You are just a diamond encased in clay. No one's bothered to take the time to pick the clay off and discard it yet.

Someday someone will--and she will be a lucky woman.

Lovely French women--piffle. Dime a dozen. There's someone much more suited to you out there somewhere.

I *know* it.



You can't fool me! I know a treasure when I see one.

Gosh, Cho......thank you!

Cail, things HAVE to get better but, it does sound like a bad country song. Have you considered sending all of that to Toby Keith? More postiive thoughts your way from Bama.

Gosh Cho!

Lore you better hope someone smarter and less slimier than W gets elected President of the United States--or you'll have to run for your life. Not only will I be moving to Oz in that case but when I do my non-voilent self will hunt you down and kick your ass for feeling sorry for yourself!

edit: damm just read Cail's post!! Hang in there man dammit! Now I'm really pissed! I may have to give up ahimsa cause nobody or God(s) causes things to hurt my friends or their family on the Watch. Screw it I'll jusk kick the world's and the universe's ass! (I was never one do things half assed still arrrr!**has another drink, or three** rarh! grrr..grumble..)

Loremaster,

Somebody good is bound to show up brother. I'm sure everyone has felt the same as you at some point.

LM, you'll do fine. You'll find a keeper once you stop looking.

Thank you all. I'm leaving tomorrow, and I don't know when I'll be back. Dad signed the DNR order tonight, so I imagine things will go quickly.

Yeah, Cail's right (did I say that?)
Loremaster, I tried and tried and got many of the same results you speak of until finally I just decided to give it a rest for a while and boom...
A few months later I meet someone; someone I've known for a while but this time neither of us was involved and the opportunity was there. Something actually worked out in my favor...crazy.
I suppose you could call it serendipity. That's a great word by the way.
Cail, I can relate too. Classification may suggest they are less than "true" parents but I've lost two step fathers and it felt just as bad each time.

kins is right, he's so in love the bastard still hasn't called me (even though I'm just slightly above NYC right now..)

Cail:
You have my sympathies during this rough time.
