The sun. Warm today, but not stifling; a clear sky and relatively low humidity and smog. Praise.

* Sirus the eternal bachelor merely observes the current conversation, slightly bemused

you realize that was meant, or at least "confirmed bachelor," as a euphemism for The Homo, right?

Also, happy: got my G1 license (learners permit for you yanks) today, not really sure how people manage to fail it (3 out of the four people ahead of me failed, somehow?)

also happy: my boyfriend and Boyfriend Potentate remain adorably cute and/or hot as balls

that is all

Living in Tennessee, the test was absolutely hilarious, so was the driver's license test. One of the questions on the Learner's permit was "If you see a blind pedestrian crossing the street, what do you do?" With one of the possible answers being "Flash your lights so they can see you." And the proper license test was basically a 5 minute drive.

Finally picked up my epilator from the post office.

Briefly tried it out before very quickly realizing that there's a reason they recommend trimming first. Ow.

But it should still be less annoying than shaving.

Found a HP computer during the council clean-up. Model sticker says Core i5, 4gb DDR3, 1TB hard drive, GF210. I was thinking of buying a new gaming computer, but I figured I could probably just put a better graphics card in that one and save a few hundred dollars.

Previous owner was ahead of me, as they had upgraded the video card to a AMD 7770.

So free gaming computer.

TIL

"Eternal Bachelor" sounds a bit better than "Forever Alone", so I went with that >_>

[ECrownofFire]

Maybe "eternally single" or "forever available".

Sounds better than "eternal bachelorette", in my opinion.

Goodness me, the pessimism in this thread is palpable.

Stop breaking the happy thread

Coming up with better titles than "forever alone" is totally a happy thing!

Eternity is far too heavy a word to be throwing around like that.

[Eric Blank]

How about "indifinitely unsnuggled?"

One of the questions on the Learner's permit was "If you see a blind pedestrian crossing the street, what do you do?" With one of the possible answers being "Flash your lights so they can see you."

Fun fact: Blind persons can feel the pressure of photons against their skin, as the sections of their brain wired for sight instead compensate in a process known as 'photokinesthesia'. At level 8 they can even discern color by listening for wavelength, or "light pitch".

It has an almost mythical ring to it. Picture a man on a hill, staring boldly off into the distance, his dark brown hair ruffled ever-so-slightly in the cool evening breeze. The gold embroidery on his evening gown blazes in the radiance of the setting sun, contrasted by the wreaths of smoke rising from a solid briar pipe firmly ensconced beneath his serious moustache. He turns and, catching your eye, gives you a somber nod before striding off into the distance. No words are spoken, and none needed. Someday you will tell your children that once, long ago, you had the good fortune to cross paths with the Eternal Bachelor.

I'm extrapolating (and exaggerating) based on 21 (almost 22) years of data. Outside of one outlier, that data shows a good indication of "zero".

But yeah this probably belongs in the sad thread.

I like this kind of extrapolation.  Here, to cheer you up: you also have 21, almost 22 years of not dying, or so I would assume.  Extrapolating this data which doesn't have any outliers at all, you're also bound to live forever. ^_^
