You make promises to people? Will wonder never cease?

Haha. That's not the same as keeping them...

Blind fools!

I think I'm just really bad at showing when I find someone attractive...but that's probably good, since I'm with my boy, and I'd probably hate myself if I ever did something with anyone else.

Guilt never built the glorious cathedrals of Europe, man. It was dedicated chistle work.

Just look at them with sultry effronterie, stick the tip of your tongue out between your moist lips, and touch yourself! That ought to do it. You can always go to confession later.

I do like cathedrals.

I don't think I could ever do that in public. It's rare enough for me to be able to smile at guys in public, beyond my boy, to whom I can do anything while anywhere.

Seigyoku-nen, I will not say don't love him obsessively, because it is a great privilege to be able to do that. It gives everyday life an almost supernatural feel.

But, if you put both your eggs in one basket...

I have all of my eggs squarely in that one basket, and am happy thus far. The likelihood of me ending up sad? Pretty high, I guess. I mean, statistically, there are a lot more relationships that end. But it's how I roll.

That's a pretty strenuous day for a man what's in his last legs!

Where are your answers, Aulic?

I've filled this in before - the questions are familiar!

Yeah but you are supposed to fill it for each friend individually, mutually varying the witty answers. No fun.

I discovered that I had actually filled this Me-Me as long ago as 9-7-2007!

You already know me, so I'll comment at only five questions.

13. Favorite memory of us?
Hmm, this is a hard one because you've made me really laugh in the last 2 1/2 years that I've known you. One incident is the night on LJ, when I kept asking you questions, and you responded only with photos-cheesecake, LeBf in a red outfit, and so forth. For some reason, I was laughing so hard, tears were flowing! The other time is when you showed a photo of you(?) playing an oboe! I'm laughing right now!

17. I'd love to visit you and make a pecan pie together. Then I'd make cheesecake and eat it in front of you while you gag.

20. I know you're a good person, even though you sometimes want people to think otherwise.

23. I wouldn't change a thing about you, except I agree with Lab Jazz; I'd like to read more about your daily adventures in life which include LeBf. Some (most) people's blogs and journals bore me, but not yours.

27. We would get drunk and listen to classical music while telling each other gross jokes.

Looking for earlier Cavafy poems I had posted to point to some simple soul that I, I had posted before some others had even HEARD OF HIM, I discovered that I had actually filled this Me-Me as long ago as 9-7-2007!

When I locate the Cavafy, you'll be informed.

I remember this meme, and your responses; I wonder why I didn't comment. I must of been speechless like Jane!
I posted some Cavafy poems April 5, 2009, and I mention in my post that you had posted a Cavafy poem that week.

I had posted Cavafy poems, some translated by myself, much earlier than that. Long Before well, you know. Just saying.

I'm sure you did. :) You need to reorganize your tags!

I have to remember to USE tags.

Tomorrow I have to go to the dentist. I AM TERRIFIED!!!
