What's his decision? I'm out of the loop, I think.

Um, yeah. What IS this decision I'm supposedly faced with? B*llocks. Everyone around the office gets these memos but me. Or maybe I accidentally tossed it. Little help? Atticus

Well, alright then. As long as I'm not the only one who's out of the loop. But might as well leap in with both feet, even though -- typically -- I've no idea what's going on. Yes, crushedout, I'll be happy to be your friend. Time to put an end to all this tabloid speculation. And you, mate, the one from the News of the World, outta my face! (Crash) Atticus

Right, I've leaked the news to the press. I'd be happy to be your friend. Got into a bit of a row with a reporter from the News of the World, though. Broke his camera. Damned paparazzi. Luckily, I was quick on my feet and gave my name to the police as Dr. Robert Hsiung before jumping bail. That should keep them off my trail for a bit. Ta. ;) Atticus

How come *I* never make any new "friends" here? Crushed just picks her favorite one of the 3 men on this site, drops him a note, and *bam!* he just happens to live in the same city. Jeez Louise. Envy, thy name is Tabitha.

BWAHAHA! Just move to Austin, Tabitha. We're thick as ants down here. ^^That was pretty weird, though. What are the chances?

lol! that is funny, ain't it? it does seem like the love connection around here lately. makes me want to puke, but at the same time, i'm glad i'm single. (that's a step forward for me..always been in back-to-back relationships. i can be alone! hoorah!)

no way amy are you getting out of this whole love fest. I have you pegged to meet up with someone from babbleland...just not sure which one. Don't mind me, I'm a matchmaker from way back and a royal pain in the buttocks. You better hope I never figure out which one you should meet up with.

Alright, you gossipy lot. Crushedout and I met and chatted over coffee today in Manhattan. No romance involved, as we both like girls, but different kinds of girls. I have to admit, I got unaccountably shy and careful about what I said, choosing to use the proper American words for things (apartment vs. flat) rather than the more relaxed and loopy Irish/American hybrid I slip into when posting here or with large numbers of my family members around me or when I've had a pint or three (I was co-raised primarily by my Irish grandmother and mother -- dad was pretty much MIA in the parenting department). Crushedout was very nice and we both seemed suitably bewildered as to what to say, especially at first. And a bit at second, too.
Anyway, we chatted away an hour and a half and then she had to head for her subway to get back home. (I live only a few blocks from where we met up and walked home.) As I've just commented to her in an e-mail, there is definitely a very different dynamic at work when talking to someone you've never met face-to-face as opposed to talking to that person online. I suddenly got all, well (I'm embarrassed to say it), "civil." (Stop laughing, Dr. Bob.)
Anyway, she turned out to be very cool and I'm sure I came across as very, very ... Christ only knows. You'd have to ask her. Anyway, that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it. Atticus

'Tis true, I can confirm it. Crazy, huh? (I just posted about it, below, minutes before you did, Atticus. Do I get to call you Atty now that we're old pals?)

how do you know what kind of girls i like?i actually like 'em straight, so we may be competing with each other. although you have a distinct advantage.

Or "Cheshire." A good friend started calling me that while we were hanging out by the statue of Alice in Central Park one spring day. ;) Atti (with an "i")
