If I were in your shoes, I would relax and let her lead. And I would let her know after a little while that I can please her best if she'll tell me what to do. (God, I love to be dragged around on an assertive woman's leash!  ) |

Sarcasm bugs me.
For comedy without sarcasm, there's no one better than P. G. Wodehouse. |

| Very nifty. I was considering a 12C for my accounting needs (I'm working on a Business minor), but I went with the less esoteric HP 10bII+. Did you know HP made a Programmer's Calculator back then? It does binary math with outputs in hex. Unfortunately it didn't sell. |

| Let her decide for herself who she wants to be with. If she thinks you are worthwhile, and you think you are dirt, I think you owe her the effort of trying to see her side of the argument. Don't punish her because you hate yourself . I've been in exactly your position before. I dumped my girlfriend ... |

Doctor Who is good. Up until the point where the Daleks start saying "EXTERMINATE, EXTERMINATE" over and over. So that actually eliminates a major portion of the modern show.  |

Rian Johnson said Heathers was an influence when he made Brick. |
