McBirdie`s Nest

January 18, 2009 - Sunday 

From the OkCupid Archives Current mood:  content I'm just going to sneak this over here in case it isn't as 'funny' to all and sundry on Facebook, but I had to preserve this. I am currently moving all my old OkC journal articles over on to my main site for archiving and I foung this dear gem hidden away: Aug 15, 2006 Since my last couple of entries have been a wee bit on the negativeside, I thought I would toss out some positives. I like profiles which use a natural speaking rhythm. I like twitchy men. I like men with good posture, especially tall men who resist theurge to hunch down. I like men who accept non-traditional pet names. I like men with long elegant fingers and long legs. I like proper grammar and use of less ordinary terminology. I like hearing regional sayings used in conversation. I like people who pay attention to my profile and start aconversation using information I provided. I also really like the way men smell. But that is less evidentonline. :) All things considered, can we just say that I had such a level of uncanny prescience two and a half years ago that it is mildly unsettling.  There are at least three men who can read this list and be amused.  Probably about two who will have a moment to wonder if I somehow created them out of my dark magicks.  Yeesh.  I need to see this list again in another two and a half.  :)

The word is y'all.  Y'ALL.

Oh, I know, I  know, you don't want a language lesson, you just wanted to throw around a little countrified hominess in your otherwise coldly clipped writing.  You were just using some shorthand linguistics to clarify that you were so amused that your written tone had to slow down to a southern drawl momentarily and you don't really care about the specifics.

However.  You're killing me here.  Slowly.  So listen up.

An email exchange with Pumpkin which turned into a discussion on a MySpace update which referenced a friend returning from a "party-free weekend".

McBirdie:  ...  Also, who updates that they had a "party-free" weekend?  Do I need to update that I have had a "trip to Spain-free weekend"?  I'm about to have a "steak-free lunch".

Tonight, I will have a "sex-free bed".  Tomorrow, "joy-free work".
