Ok. Genuinely.

Up for this.

Life is too short and sometimes you need to take a risk.


ps - don't want many family members at wedding as don't want needless cost so can you say you are marrying an itinerant or something like that



ps - on the honeymoon, we need to go to Montevideo.

Hmmm I am going to play coy and say perhaps...

Potential wife material here. And I'll say I've always loved Duran Duran (esp. Come Undone).

Besides, I've always wanted to go to Uruguay.

Well heck... thanks for noticing. You know I crush on you just because you are beautiful, sexy, smart, and basically the whole enchilada!

Aww, you know I could never throw you or da Beaker to the side ;). Always crushing on the two of you :).

Not in the true sense of the word though there are many gorgeous butches and lovely femmes here. Today I am feeling single = freedom.

Maaaayyyybbbeeeee I have a crush.

/she puts up with me

Okay, what are you doing on 2nd March? I've a free space in my diary from 2pm to 3pm so if you want to get married then, we can make it happen.


ps Duran Duran? Um ...... that's a bit like saying you are a San Diego Padres fan. I start to feel detached and a bit of pity at the same time. Now, if you'd said Ultravox, I'd be on my knees by now. If Ultravox's Love's Great Adventure isn't one of your top ten all-time songs then the marriage probably won't last past the end of March.

I don't know about being your kinda wife, but you had me at Chimay (blue) :) I say get married at Murphy's (but since no same-sex marriage laws in the Philippines, so it really won't hold any water, but it'd be fun) then do a trip round the world, only in 'football countries' that have decent beer and Irish pubs! PS. I do pop on here once in a wee while :)

You had me at fabulous!!! :) you are quite fabulous yourself!

The San Diego Padres? What? My heart will always be in Cleveland. That makes me all the more pitiful.

Right group, wrong song ;). LGA is up there, but this leads:



*pencils in 2 March, 8AM CST (=2PM GMT).* You have too little faith. I give it until mid-May at least, especially if lasagne-making attempts are successful.

Okay, I'd booked the church and told my parents. My dad was okay with it but my mum said she'd only give her blessing if you were Irish and Roman Catholic. Acting instinctively, I converted you to Catholicism (I have a bottle of holy water for you) and changed your name from Guihong to Gráinne. Hope that's okay.


We were all ready for the marriage and I was looking forward to it :)


And then I read the above words of betrayal - "My heart will always be in Cl***land".


Those words are like a dagger through the heart to me - even the word "Cl***land" (I cannot even type it out in full as it is too painful) is enough to render me emotionally impotent as it was in that city that Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak was ended on July 17 1941.


I'm just so glad I found out about this before March 2nd. The wedding is now called off ***



*** that said, I think that the conversion to Catholicism was bone fide. Therefore, I hope to see you at mass later today.

Gráinne. I like it :).

But I might have known my almost fatalistic love for my hometown teams (who haven't won a championship in anything since I've been on the planet) would come back to bite me in the butt, big time. And all because of the fate of having been born there. Lasagne-making skills and love of obscure 80's music notwithstanding, the C word is one of those dealbreakers.

Bantering around in the crush thread can get you crushed (w).

*walks away muttering 'so close, so close'*

I believe in total honesty so here's the deal.

You're an attractive lady and we share a mutual love of beer and football (that's "soccer" to most of the folk on this board as they don't speak proper English). However, you're not marriage material for me. Not at all.

Any why is that? Because, despite your beauty and cuteness, whenever I think of you I cannot get an image out of my mind of you playing the tambourine with some hippy band in an Irish bar one late, drunken night in Manila. That one moment left me emotionally scarred. There's something incredibly sordid, vulgar even, about that image of shaking the tambourine with willful abandon .... to make matters worse, I don't even think it was in tune with their Mr Tambourine Man song.

I'm starting to feel sick even thinking back to then but, in summary:

- Marriage Material? No
- Mistress Material? Sure thing.

Mistresses have more fun anyway ..... well, that's what they tell me


Gráinne

Our decades are shaped by mere moments. Had you not disclosed the Cl***land thing, then you'd soon by Mrs Ciaran and I'd have bought you a really nice apron and some trendy kitchenware (in fact, already ordered via Amazon - anyone want it at a discount?).

That said, the Cl***land thing would have come out eventually so best to avoid the heartbreak further down the line. I will try hard not to hold this vulgarity against you but I'm not sure if I will be able to, esp. with the baseball season starting soon.

You're definitely right about that, Gráinne. I am now crushed about my big crush here in the crush thread. Let this now be a lesson to me, I now feel like taking some tambourine lessons... I'm from a very Catholic family, Ciaran - so being a mistress might be something I'd have to think about first. Let me think about it, as long as you promise to behave once you get to meet Sharon.

Good Morning Crushers and Crushees...

Will you be snagging yourself a Valentine? Anyone planning any grand romantic gestures? I am a sucker for these things!! Or will you continue to admire from afar? I want to see some love connections made via crush thread!

I also want to attend Ciaran's many weddings...Make them destination weddings! lol

How does one snag a Valentine? Should I put some chocolates on a line and throw it out and see what I get back? Perhaps some flowers?? Maybe I should try some heart boxers??

*Throws out line with chocolate roses attached while wearing my heart boxers and waits....

Chocolates and flowers...Come on Sleepy...you can get more creative than that!
:P
