Fishin' in the stream of consciousness (all-purpose, no topic chat thread)

my boyfriend still has emo hair. he's 21. He's about to graduate from college. His hair is black with purple highlights, and yes, it's swooped down in front of his face. (Doesn't cover one eye though. He's not that emo)

 

godspeed @ boyfriend maccoill... graduate college stylishly

 

the dreamwidth game i'm in is having a masquerade event in a couple weeks, which means the fun of picking costumes for characters (especially picking ones that you want them to be a little bit changed by, if you're opting for them getting really into it)

and our resident really-into-fashion person is helpfully making plurks with like. hundreds of masks. hundreds of dresses. etc.

so i'm browsing through lots of pictures of really beautiful masks right now

Spoiler: examples, large images

 

when you see the word fruit which one comes to mind first?

written down i always think lemons first and spoken is avacados? both weird examples, idk why thats what i see first

 

Watermelon and cherries.

eta: Also, summer. Fruit is For Summer.

 

Oranges and strawberries.

 

Oranges, apples and such for me. Round fruits.

 

grapes for both but mentally i vibrate between green grapes, globe grapes and red grapes.

 

red delicious apple

 

Apples and pomegranate.

 

Apples and bananas

 

rate my vday plan: local boat tour around the savannah river, wandering the riverwalk, dinner at a nice place if I can swing it (local place owned by the same guy who owns my workplace, i could hopefully get a reservation, hopefully) does this suck or not

gifts are books and hopefully flowers i have to purchase flowers not too early but not too late and it's stressing me out

aaaaand it'll be a day or two early becase of work schedules gosh this is hard

 

Aaaah that sounds so sweet! I hope they like it!

 

That sounds sweet, and doing it a couple days early means you're a lot more likely to be able to get reservations. I'm sure you'll both have fun.

 

NOO!! FUCK!! THEY DON'T OFFER BOAT TOURS ON MONDAYS IN THE WINTER!! I AM LAID WASTE!! I KNOW I DON'T WORK ON MONDAY BUT WHY DON'T YOU WORK ON MONDAY

-frantic googling things to do that aren't expensive or expecting physically able people in the dead of Georgia-

 

next question: can you reasonably ask people to dress for a light nature hike and a nice dinner? i think that's possible. Nice jeans, clean tennis shoes, blouses, make-up, contrite looks if necessary

...i should probably only plan things they can wear dresses to. nooooo

 

Re: dressing, I'm pretty image conscious when it comes to things like nice dinners, especially in a date type situation, so I wouldn't find it impossible to dress for both a nice dinner and a hike but it would be a big challenge and spoon drain. The part I'd be most worried about would be shoes and getting things on my outfit before dinner. If you were driving or had some other way for your date to reasonably change shoes, it would be logistically easier.

The dinner and walking together is a good plan, though, imo. For our anniversary my boyfriend and I often get dinner and then drive to the lake to walk it (and I change shoes), which is nice because we can spend a lot of time together.

 

A change of clothes. BRILLIANT. This is exactly what you talk to other human beings for

 

Glad I could help!
