stoney321Hence my tequila icon. I don't mind getting rejection letters from McSweeny's when they have stuff like this. Oh, man, this is perfect: literary discussion by serial killers. (Okay, I totally hate getting rejection letters, because I'm every bit as funny as some of the things they print, and there we go! That's how you climb back on!) *knuckles away dirt and tears, remembers to pedal faster*
There may be a little radio silence here over the weekend as I HAVE GOT TO finish a fic *cough* Andrew's Scottish Tale *cough* and have a million things to tend to. I've tried to respond to everyone's comments on the posts this week, but I may have missed you - if I did, no offense meant. It's just... I can NOT sit in this chair all day long. *points to self* Very hyper, very active person here. I'm practically standing while typing this.
Also, last night I watched M*A*S*H to help me fall asleep (dude, my body thinks I need no sleep and that is a LIE) and it was the one where Colonel Blake gets discharged and Radar is a brave little soldier and salutes his pseudo-daddy and doesn't cry (much) and Blake kisses Hotlips and life goes on and then you find out at the end (while in surgery) that his plane was shot down and Radar is crying but trying to do his job and I was laying on my couch crying even though I've seen that one a hundred times and GAH. Trivia: none of the cast new that plot twist was coming, so all of their reactions were real. That is a great show, even after all these years.
Finally: I NEVER DO MEMES. I don't. Or, I do them, but I don't POST them. But this one was HILARIOUSLY ON TARGET. This will come as no surprise to any of you that actually know me.
Physical Touch

Words of Affirmation.
Take the quiz
I mean, DUH. I don't need no stinking gifts. I want HUGS. Foot rubs. Back rubs. Lovin', yo. GIMMIE. Interesting, this life I have right now that is NOT conducive for physical contact. ARGHH. And the funny thing is how some questions are worded. "Does a hug make you happy? Or are you happy when your lover does a service like chores?" AND I HAD TO THINK ABOUT IT.
Oooh, let's make up a meme. A HAPPY meme!! Go back to the last 10 posts (people, not comms) on your LJ RIGHT NOW and randomly comment with something you like about that person! Then, post this in your journal and make YOUR flist do it! It'll be fun! It'll make people feel good about themselves! Spread some frickin' cheer, ya ingrates!

Information
Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.Take the quiz

The thing about gifts is, as I get older I really don't want as much STUFF cluttering up the house! But it means a lot to me to have him helping me out around the house, so I think that "acts of service" should actually be ranked higher than it is. Numerically it's very close to the other three. If I come into a room and find that he's done a big chore for me without being asked, one that he normally doesn't do, I get a glow right down to my toes. It really means more than if he brought me flowers.
It's a gorgeous day today! Going to get outside after the kids come home from school and work in the yard while they play.
no subject
Date: 2006-03-31 12:03 pm (UTC)Oh, it's SO beautiful here! I'm about to head back to the garden center because I've decided I just need more. :D
(And here in my neighborhood - this one and the old one) it was just natural for women to EXPECT a 2ct. diamond on a platinum ring for an engagement, then an "upgrade" when you've given him a few kids, and women are professional shoppers and they want STUFF and THINGS and NEW CARS all the time and I just sit in my garden and get dirty and they look at me like I'm crazy and all I want is to sit outside on a nice day with Mr. S and good friends and enjoy the outdoors, etc.
But I do like getting flowers, I won't lie. But other stuff? Nah.)
