Wyn-chan's gonna love that vid. :sweat:

UGH! I did NOT watch it, and never plan to. :bleh: Though I do have a question. A bird caught in a web?! How strong/thick is this web?!

Well, it was a pretty freakin' big spider, so the web was accordingly strong, I'd guess. :sweat:

So last night I was talking to my married friend on the phone and she asked me if I thought I was going to be an old maid for the rest of my life. :angry: I was annoyed by that phrase "old maid" and it even made me a bit upset, even though I didn't make it seem that way. If she had worded it differently, I wouldn't have been bothered by it, because frankly, I prefer to be called "smart, single woman with no baggage to tie her down." :beaten:

You should've set her straight.

I should have, but at the time, I was too taken aback by those words. She just asked that with innocent curiosity, not in a rude way or anything. I was still bothered by it later on though.

Well, if you're willing to tell us about it, you should be able to tell your friend. :)

That was exactly the phrase that popped into my head after you posted your picture. [/list:u] Edit: I like to think of myself as a "Single, successful guy" :mrgreen: [/list:u]

I am :shocked: - there is NO perfect model to live your life and looking at stats about divorce and life expectancy, your friend could end up on her own as well (not that I am wishing her that!!!) but she shouldn't use her values to judge other people's choices.

In any case you're not alone, I guess I'd qualify as an old maid too :shamefulcry:

True. But at the same time, I just felt odd saying something. When posting it online or in a journal, it's different because you have time to think about what you're going to stay rather than deciding in real time and possibly sounding like an ass. :sweat:

I don't remember what picture that was, but hopefully I looked decent in it. :P And I didn't realize you were single. I thought you had Wyn-chan! :mrgreen:

I don't think she was looking down on me, per se. I think she was just innocently asking me in an unintentionally rude way. The only good think that came out from this was that I had something to write about in my Japanese journal. :mrgreen:

And you're single too? Wow, this board seems to be full of eligible men and women. Too bad there is no jdrama dating service. Wow, this comment sounds like deja vu. :hehe:

Back in the game again - younger on and off BF (now ex) moved to Spain for a year.

If we can have videos, we should have a dating service as well :shamefulcry:

I disagree Sensei. Because you have guts, you got your life back. :victory: [/list:u]

When you just finished an unbelievably boring 2:30 hour lecture & want to go home ASAP to shower and relax, and who comes and picks you up just shouts at you saying, "Can't you wait 10 or 15 minutes?!".

Apparently, .. NOT.
