They're so much better than roses IMO. I guess that's why he sends them. This also means that I'm going to go home and practice lots before he gets home so I can snipe him. http://metachat.org/index.php/2007/09/25/the_bf_sent_flowers_to_me_at_work#c336427 Tue, 25 Sep 2007 16:22:01 +0000 c336428@http://metachat.org Not nerds.

But I'm not a flower kind of woman. I mean, I like flowers, sometimes I buy them for myself (from the supermarket), but I'm not particularly into romantic gestures. Perhaps because on the rare occasion my ex-husband ever bought me flowers it was because he'd seriously messed up and thought that a bunch of chrysanthemums would distract me from finding out about his latest shenanigans. http://metachat.org/index.php/2007/09/25/the_bf_sent_flowers_to_me_at_work#c336451 Tue, 25 Sep 2007 17:57:03 +0000 c336470@http://metachat.org Shenanigans?

That's so sweet, and I agree that tulips outrank roses by, like, a whole bunch. They're my very nearly my favorite flower. My favorite flower has a short growing season, so I buy myself a bunch or two every late spring. The Fella knows they're not readily available most of the year, but he wants to remember them for the following spring, so every so often out of the blue he'll look up at me, a question on his face, and say "... ranunculus?" Yes! Ranunculus! Awwwww...

I am so that girl! Like when the clerk at the video game store was shocked to find out I was buying Call of Cthulhu for myself and not the BF. I just get called out all the time for liking non-girly games in addition to the girly ones. The biggest thing for me and the BF when it comes to video games is that we both enjoy all kinds - he and I could play something together or just watch each other play, no matter what game it is. We've worked together on everything from Paper Mario or Rayman to Gears of War or Silent Hill. I sometimes whomp him in Dr. Mario, he whomps me in Command and Conquer all the damn time. I just look at our mutual enjoyment of video games as a chance to spend time together. I never wanted to be the girl that sat around and pouted when her guy is playing games - I always wanted to be the girl that sniped her guy in the face.

It's a drag, because that balance is, in my view, a huge part of what makes up a fun multiplayer game. That's one of my favorite things about Mario Kart, and why I also like party games--there's enough of an element of chance there that even a total novice will win sometimes. You can't really say that about Halo.
