    We dressed up into costumes and wandered around the Plaza handing out candy to random strangers.

    This isn't so much an American thing as a Crazy Pagan Thing. And for the record, I never would have met James if not for the internets. He's kind of a hermit.

    So, most of y'all know I cut my hair. It's cute. Alas, the photo quality is a bit bad. The front camera on my phone just doesn't have as high a resolution as the main one.

    It really wasn't awkward at all. And like Twi said, there were a lot of matches to sift through (though generally women have more to go through, as a lot more men sign up for such sites than women). James and I hit it off right away. Our first physical date was the day after Halloween in 2008. He joined up with me and a bunch of my friends for reverse trick-or-treating, and then back to my friends' house for Pumpkin Katana Baseball. Yeah. My husband's memory of our first date is of me, wearing a fairy costume and corset, swinging swords at flying pumpkins. (Because what else are you gonna do with your jack-o-lanterns after Halloween is done but chop them into mulch with medieval weaponry?)

    Well, you like US. I took it more from the Angel episode "Epiphany": "If nothing we do matters, then all that matters IS what we do." And now I'm going to properly random up the thread with a Japanese man yodeling in German to his favorite chickens:

    If you find someone that you hit it off well with, yeah. eHarmony starts you off with a personality test, and tries to match you with people who have compatible traits. You go through guided communication, then once you hit open communication you kind of take it from there. Heh, yeah, none of that is remotely accurate. Add on music loud enough you have to shout a bit for the people right next to you to hear what you're saying. It's annoying as hell. I much prefer sci-fi/fantasy conventions for actually meeting people.

    He is, in ways that even most Sharders don't know. And...I hate to say it, but as an introvert, that sounds kind of miserable. Bars are loud and terrible places to actually talk to people. And even out with friends, I tend to wallflower (unless there's karaoke involved).

    Sorry. Knee-jerk pre-reaction. There's a certain subset of people out there who actually would try to look down their noses at him. I can get my hackles up a bit where my chosen family is concerned. And yes, that picture is funny. ETA: @Quiver - eHarmony actually has several rounds of guided questions that help you ease into talking to someone. It's kind of perfect for working with social anxiety. It gives you a framework of "get to know you" before you move into open communication.

    He's not a reader. Do NOT judge him harshly for that; he read quite a bit when he was a kid. But he now has a condition that involves having a lot of "floaters" in his eyes. It's like little squiggly worms wandering around your vision, and it makes reading black text on a white background into a nightmare.

    Heh. I'd say that punishing half of the human race for one person's storm-up would definitely qualify as vengeful, chullish behavior. Just one of the reasons why I don't buy into Biblical scripture. There's a lot of really horrible stuff in there that I have a lot of difficulty ascribing to any reasonable deity.
  11. Kaymyth
    Heck, I met my husband on eHarmony. It CAN work.
  12. Kaymyth
    Pinkie finger. You can get in a decent-sized slice, bind it up, but it's not nearly as vital to holding stuff as, say, slicing across the entirety of the palm of your hand.
  13. Kaymyth
    Regarding climate change: go read Monday's XKCD. Regarding mensturation: Yeah, upping G-D from "idiot" to "vengeful chull-head" really isn't gonna sell it for me. I do not subscribe to the "god is a jerk" theory of the universe. Regarding space: Die-hard flat earthers claim that it's all a big conspiracy from NASA to get money. Because, you know, NASA is just rolling in it. See, the brilliance of this is that it's only nihilistic on the surface. But once you dig down below that, accepting that the universe has no inherent meaning, then suddenly every action you take becomes the whole of your influence on the universe. If nothing you do matters in a grand macrocosmic scheme, then the effect you have on other people becomes the greatest possible thing you can do. Typical Quiver. Entertaining us with comic book cliffs notes, imparting knowledge onto us unworthy beings, and then apologizing for it.

    He...doesn't understand how far away stars are, does he? I can't believe I'm saying this, but dude: too many episodes of Star Trek watching the fake warp drive effect.
  15. Kaymyth
    The entire argument was monumentally stupid. It was along the lines of, "If Earth moved around the sun, then by the time we were halfway around noon would be midnight and vice versa!" No. Just...no. (Cause obviously we don't measure our days by perfect 360-degree rotations. We measure them by when we come back around to the same facing.)
  16. Kaymyth
    Whatever you do, don't search Facebook for "flat earth". The things you find will make you even less happy. (Unless you stumble across the post where I schooled a moron on Earth's rotation in regards to the progression of the year. Funny, I scienced at him really, really hard and he disappeared and never responded.)
  17. Kaymyth
    But more likely to enjoy confusing you.

    We have actual proof of evolution. It's literally written in our DNA. People can yell about "missing links" all they want (which is a load of hooey; EVERYTHING in our fossil record is technically a missing link), but DNA is a living record of every creature on the planet. There's only a tiny percentage of DNA difference between us and a cat. Or a frog. Or a manatee. Though usually I just find it more fun to point out that only an blithering idiot would deliberately design the human female reproductive system the way it is. Menstruation is stupid. Game, set, match.
  19. Kaymyth
    But...but why would you want to, when you could make chocolate chip instead?
  20. Kaymyth
    I really need to post that as a reply to every Facebook comment that uses that word ever.
  21. Kaymyth
    Yup. Both things are extremely prevalent with conspiracy theorists. Every once in a while, a conspiracy may prove true, but the majority of them are just people looking for an excuse to crow about how mentally superior they are to everybody else because they know "The TRUTH!"
  22. Kaymyth
    Heh. Your mom is making dad jokes. I NEED DIS.
  23. Kaymyth
    The word "sheeple". The automatic dismissal of anyone who disagrees with what you say as the easily-led masses just hits my rage nuke button.
  24. Kaymyth
    Note to self: James and I should avoid rampaging Mistrunners on beaches.

    Think about the rum at home. If you don't have rum at home, this is a problem. You should get some.
