AliceTheOwl Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Re: The Last Word Josh is also a geek. And yes, you gotta love 'em. I don't remember the last time I was bored with him. We went through a bunch of his stuff his mother had been saving for him, last night. I cooed over what a cute little geek he was, and teased him about all the honor roll awards. He was quite embarrassed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliceTheOwl Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Re: The Last Word Hopefully the contract was drawn around the emotions. And emotions have been known to change over time. But luckily, where Josh is concerned, my affection only grows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebeccared50 Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Re: The Last Word And emotions have been known to change over time. But luckily, where Josh is concerned, my affection only grows. that allways seems to be the challenge with relationships... realizing that you are each going to grow and change... being encouraging to that growth... and findings ways to grow and change together... takes work, but is definitely worth it...

Not because it's "not something people do," but because I consider a promise to be binding. I wouldn't have stood up at the front of a church, in front of my family and friends and two pastors, if I didn't think I could keep the promise I was making.

AliceTheOwl Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Re: The Last Word "Break?" What is this "break" you speak of? Is that anything like the in-between-time I took on it (for about 23 hours/day) before I became a Kage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Re: The Last Word Yeah, the kage's job is exhausting, I imagine. The quarter that starts today is my Quarter From Hell (and I knew it would be months ago), so when Kage Miller asked for a replacement I carefully kept silent. I know my playing is going to become more cursory and slapdash, and I saw enough of what that gets you with my alt's old village, and I don't want to imitate that for any reason.

AliceTheOwl Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Re: The Last Word Yeah. I suppose I COULD devote less time to it, but I hate doing fun things carelessly. If others' fun depends on me, I'm going to put everything I have into it, or die trying. This is why I don't plan parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
