Okay, double-posting.  My sister was reading her magazine and she found this to share. Heh. I'm putting it here. Guy Truths They'd Tell You if They Had the Guts 1. Anything bedazzled is bad news. 2. We're not fans of your-hamster sized dog. It's high-maintenance, temperamental and embarrassing to be seen with. If we wanted that we'd date a high school Sophomore or a mime. 3. We don't enjoy listening to your sing. Why? Because it means watching you voluntarily bomb your one-woman talent show for what feels like an eternity. Then, adding insult to injury, we have to tell you how great you were. 4. Calling just to ask, "Wathca' thinkin' about?" is never cute. 5. We absolutely care about your opinions and want to know what you're thinking about. Just not when it comes to our clothes, our "dumb" friends or anything else we're irrationally attached to. 6. You're Dad's not as nice to us as you think he is. 7. We never, EVER, want to hear these four words. "We. Need. To. Talk." The instant they leave your mouth they register in our brain as, "I'm pregnant." "We're breaking up." or, "I've been kidnapped." In any case it sends us into a mental tailspin that leaves up miserable until you explain the situation, which invariably ends up being far less condemning that fatherhood or kidnapping. 8. Wedding talk isn't scary; marrying someone we don't want to spend the rest of our life with is. If we cringe at the "E" word or anything shiny with a circular shape, it's a good indicator that we're not thinking long-term. 9. We don't mind cute pet names. However, they must never be used in public domain, especially within earshot of friends and coworkers. There is no amount of therapy that will repair the damage our friends will inflict when they find out we respond to, "Sugar Num-nums." 10. You look hot in our clothes; we don't look hot in yours. Please don't buy us skinny jeans, capri-pants or shirts that are the color of Easter eggs. 11. We don't want to know about your bathroom business. We have a lovely image of you that does not include toilets. Sharing that info with us is like telling a child that Santa isn't real. Don't kill the dream. 12. We know we suck at dancing. Yet we still groove with you at weddings and clubs. Our attempts of dancing are a form of social self-sacrifice for the sake of appeasing you. Therefore curb the cutting remarks and say something nice. After all, we tell you that you have a great voice, don't we? - Robert Buckly. |

Except for the bits about the singing (because some women actually can sing) this is all pretty universal and accurate.
From Achewood:
Roast Beef thinks to himself:
"'will you marry me'
the high school nuclear bomb video rolls houses reel back in shock and explode
Man, its like we walk around with dynamite in our mouths
'I have a gun. Put the money in the bag.'
'Will you marry me?'
'Tell the pilot there is a bomb on the plane.'
'Constructed like regular sentences, these sentences can in an instant transform a mans life forever.'"
It's interesting that Beef's thoughts, like his dialog, have no punctuation, except when he's quoting or putting words in someone's mouth.

*Laugh!!!*  The fact that it didn't apply to all women should've been implyed, yeah. But it still amused me. XD What exactly is that from? Heh... Was "Beefs" saying "Will you marry me?" related to the nuclear bomb reaction? XD |

Roast Beef is a consummate pessimist.
In his contemplations he describes as marriage as, "promising to watch the person that means the most to you die over the next fifty years with that being the best possible outcome"
His perspective isn't intended to be all encompassing or even accurate, it's just who he is.
That's what makes Achewood tick. These characters are characters, and they get to have strange opinions about things.

*Laugh!!!* Hm... So, at the beach nearby, there was some matter of "challenges" wherein a person was assigned a task, which is supposed to be challenging (and preferably possible) and, if it is completed, the challenged win a candy bar. This was all fun and games, but, while trying to figure my challenge, someone suggested leaping from the water through hoops in the air like some form of freakish, human-marine creation. I began to decline from said challenge, to which the challenge-giver retaliated by saying, "Why? If a whale can do it, you can." It is still debatable whether or not he meant it like that. |

*Laugh!!!* Nice. I sadly, have nothing personal to add to this, but I do have something esle. (It's not that my life isn't funny. It's just that I don't remember all the funny. XD ) "I could tell that my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio." - Rodney Dangerfield "I'm desperately trying to figure out why kamikaze pilots wore helmets." - Dave. |

*Laugh!!!* My mother works at Safeway, in the deli. Long explanation short, the employees there are told to say specific things to their potential customers. If they don't, the people sent to test them will report them. Fun, huh? Well, they changed the required greeting, and one of my mother's coworkers apparently had some trouble with this... seeing as this is what she said to someone looking at the display. "Hi, how can I get you out of the hot-case?" |

*Laugh!!!* I think I would prefer pie to cannibalism. ... Dang, now I want pie. T.T Well, at least it was the pie I preferred... XD I just went back and read the first one of that. ;D "With an engineer onboard, we may finally get our starship flying again." "We almost got it flying last month." "Yes. It's a shame the parade committee made us give their balloons back." Also, yesterday my sister used complacent incorrectly. It seems she thought it meant something toward the extent of contemplative, because "it sounds similar." Apparently, this wasn't the first time, either. She got along very poorly with one teacher this last year and she remembers an occasion where she went to ask said teacher for help, and said, "This question makes me very complacent." He stared at her for a couple seconds and kinda huffed an exasperated sigh. So my sister went back to her desk and sat down without another word. She realizes why this happened, now. And she's wondering if there was a specific reason for their not getting along. |
