Much has happened in the last few weeks, some good, some bad. I wish I could say the good outweighed the bad, but they are...I'm not sure just yet. And honestly, it's too much to go into real depth on either, unless I wish to be writing in here for the next day instead of doing my research. And I do have a meeting later as well. So I can at least

Under no circumstances should you allow Beatrice to find you a suitable match. Insist on one as unsuitable as possible.

[erika_rta]

If unsuitable were suitable then there wouldn't be a problem! Maybe. Possibly.

Marriages of (in)convenience have fine story potential -- whether you do the comedic/farce treatment, or if tragedy's your thing. Where would Romeo and Juliet be if they'd gone along with a suitable match (ok, you in the back shouting 'alive' -- shhhh!).

Encouraging Beatrice to Manage her relatives is a very dangerous practice :)

[erika_rta]

I'd say YOU do it then, but I don't know you! Yet.

And it was on your couch. But it didn't seem like a good idea to just up and leave and let you stew in your own Erika-ness.

[erika_rta]

It was! And it was sweet of you stay. But my dear Liam, you do still qualify as a man.

[liam_rta]

Thank the Unicorn for that. I would worry if suddenly I qualified as a lemur or a muskrat or some other small mammal with an enduring name. Besides, if I was no longer a man, my underwear wouldn't fit.

[erika_rta]

Oh dear. You mentioned your...your...underwear!

If I were lecturing you, you'd know it. That wasn't even close to being a lecture. That was an informational meeting, with implications of actions presented for your consideration, and a few courses of actions suggested.

[erika_rta]

But I didn't like it! Therefore it MUST be a lecture! I like information, after all.

Lectures involve fewer statements in the conditional and a whole heck of a lot more in the imperative. You'd also get the full power of oratorical skills dumped on your head. And less hair-stroking.
