Alrighty. Since we've not talked a lot, I suppose we'd better get to know each other.
1) So what is it you do for a living, Ellen? 2) I know you mentioned your girl-- is her father in the picture? 3) What do you do for fun? 4) What are you afraid of? 5) [locked]So how'd you first become aware of all the things that go bump in the night, so to speak?[/locked]
1. Heh. Well... I've just seen too many of them not to. I know without a doubt that G-d exists, and that He, or She, sometimes intervenes directly and unarguably in our affairs.
2. Mm, you're talking about Lilith for the first. I think you can argue over whether she became a demoness herself, but it's generally agreed she shtupped a lot of them and produced a lot of them. Adam's second wife, G-d's replacement for Lilith, doesn't even get a name. God creates her right in front of Adam from the inside out-- all the guts, fat, blood vessels, mucus... and Adam is so revulsed he says "no way", so, poor girl, she's gone. So then G-d makes Eve, being sure to put Adam to sleep beforehand so he can't whine and complain and screw things up anymore.
3. My daughter is not a rockabilly guy.
[locked] I'm more or less resigned to it. I would love to.
1. Do you want the one about how a bunch of drunken skinhead punks couldn't seem to find a synagogue I was visiting in London, despite it being a reasonably large building in plain sight, and circled the block seven or eight times before giving up.... or the time I got lost in a bad part of Munich at night, and a policeman directed me across a bridge back to where I was staying, and the next day I couldn't find the bridge again because it didn't exist, and the city's police department had no record of the name of the officer I had talked to.... or... I could bring up others.
2. Adam was an utter dick.

Hah. Well, I suppose I'll accept that as being better than the alternative. Why is it weird? She sounds lovely.
Oh, I do. They're lovely, thank you. I wore them yesterday to celebrate.
Why not?
1) So Cait's the writer, and Rory's the musician... you're the craftsman, as you just put it. How did you come to that, or what's the first thing you can recall making? 2) Do you support yourself with the jewelry making? 3) What's your favorite food? 4) ...I'm trying to think of a way to ask whether you're single in a way that doesn't sound like I'm propositioning you-- I'm just curious. 5) When can I make you and your sister dinner?
So it is! As far as how-we-met stories go, it lacks a certain something, I think.
I'm assuming you're okay with more questions, and not just commenting with your observation.
1) So, who, ah, broke the wine glass, so to speak, in your and Denny's marriage? (Who wears the pants?) 2) Since you're swinging by tomorrow, any preference on what I should have ready for you to eat? ....note that an innuendo-laden answer will amuse, but probably result in you not getting any food. 3) Which of your ties is your favorite and why? 4) When was the last time you were speechless? 5) What do you want for Christmas? I'm not getting it for you for obvious reasons-- just asking.
Given how my how-we-met stories tend to go, I'd say that certain something is probably the threat of legal action.
1) It's not as clear-cut as all that. I'm responsible for certain aspects of the relationship and he's...all right, he's not technically responsible for anything, but he takes it upon himself to prevent me from becoming too much of a wet blanket. And he has custody of the remote.
If you're asking who usually gets his way, the answer is him.
2) Would an innuendo-laden answer result in my getting something other than food?
3) It's burgundy with white stripes (and a hint of light blue, as I recall). Silk, of course. It was a gift from someone I cared about.

2) No.
Well, possibly a smack upside the head.
3) That sounds lovely.
4) Heh. So you hadn't been waiting for the day?
5) 'Nothing' can be surprising, I'm told.
