You may wish to reconsider and/or rephrase that comment.

[ryttu3k.livejournal.com]

*looks* I can't see anything to rephrase, myself...

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

To highlight:

Hey, there's an entire industry of sexually ambigious males to choose from! (I'll be taking Corinne, myself...

'Instead' is probably much closer to what you meant to say than 'myself'. I know what you were trying to say, after that initial WTF moment, but still...

Oh. Yes, I see what you mean. *snerks*

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Everyday life is fun and interesting. And if it's not, then you know it's time to start wondering if teddy bears like onions.

Um... I have know idea what those positions mean.

Make sure he doesn't get dreadlocks. Patiently explain proper haircare, in ways that should scare him away.

The song, artist and album didn't have to be different.

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

I don't know the positions either. But I know one of them has your feet at right angles and that's the one I keep accidentally standing in. The dreadlocks are okay because he's getting them when he goes to Israel for a year, so I can laugh at them but I won't have to deal with them and he'll be sick of it by the time he comes home.

(Also, I'm pretty sure teddy bears like onions, based on an obscure Russian cartoon that was probably Olympic Games propaganda back in the whatever-ties)
