Last night, as I often do, I spent some time in IRC, and happened to mention (truthfully) that I was taking wagimoko out to dinner tomorrow. "I try to take the burden of cooking off of her at least once a month", I said (also truthfully). A couple of women on that channel lit into me, saying that I should be taking her out once a week, not once a month (the phrase "horrible little man" was actually used several times in reference to me). I was also told (very definitely) that I shouldn't cut back on her shopping money to compensate. I mentioned it to wagimoko last night, and she said, "Talk to me about it when I'm sober". Since that was now, I brought it up again.
"So, should I be taking you out more often?" Which either means, "I don't want to go out; I'll forget about this conversation in thirty seconds, and don't ever bring it up again", or, "You're such a fucking asshole than you can't understand when you've been slapped in the face with the truth". I am such a fucking asshole that I can't decide between the two statements, which does incline to the latter. So, if the women who beat me up in IRC last night would like to tell me more about what I'm doing wrong here (and I'm sure they will), either e-mail me or, if Jonty brings up netcomments on a new host, leave comments here. You know who you are, as do I; we don't have to tell anyone else. John "Akatsukami" Braue Saturday, April 20, 2002 |
