Does this mean the wedding's still on?
Well, I have to do something with all this material I ordered to make the bows for the bridesmaids dresses.
Guess it could go to clothing a sizable percentage of the population of China, but they'd look awfully silly in that pattern. . .
Oooh. Butt-bows big enough to be seen from space.
That's how you know it's love.
But I'm wearing a tux. Yep.
Oh, all right, I'll wear the gown, then.
White, of course.
What?
We all have our polite fictions.
And exactly what are you implying about my chastity?
Honey, I imply nothing.
Oh. Right.
See, um, I was saving myself for marriage, but when a brilliant, funny, gorgeous redhead just sort-of pops into your life. . .
No, that one never works.
She got me drunk. Yes, that will do.
Sorry to interrupt, but there's a Nokia ringtone of this song! Just read about it and got very excited.
This is one of the songs that will play at my reception.
*silence*
What? My fiance and I love the words to this song. Very appropriate.
OK, OK, *and* we're also anime geeks. Not quite otaku, though.
Although seeing that I'm excited over a ringtone, I might be on the edge...
Geekery is a good thing around here.
At least, I think so.
Sammie, feel free to get ur geek on. I'm feeling more comfortable about that side of myself these days, figure the other folks hanging around here should too.
And, um, not that I have any intention of getting it or anything, but where did you find that ringtone?
And that's very cool about playing the song at your reception. It is lovely. And I should remove that file of it before I get sued.

Hee hee.
Yoko Kanno is just a genius. Everything she does is great, in my opinion. All the music for Macross Plus, for example. Cowboy Bebop. Ghost in the Shell.
OK, you get it already...
Thanks, sammie. Of course, I'm torn between that tone and 50 Cent's P.I.M.P.
Decisions, decisions. . .
Didn't realize she did Ghost in the Shell, too. Have you seen any of the new series? I haven't been keeping track of that at all.
To be honest, these days I'm either at work or asleep or half-asleep in front of the comp. Holidays are hell-y when you work in a deli.
My fiance is so lucky. I'm getting him Final Fantasy X-2 for Christmas. Thank God it's finally here because I have been going crazy wondering what it's about.
sammie, will you respect me less if I mention that I still haven't finished Final Fantasy 7?
It's that damn little guy with the star over his head. I toss every summon and limit break and high-level spell I've got at the little bastard, and he still just casually walks up and wipes out the party.
Let me know how X-2 is. Not that I have a PS2 or nothing. . .
Sorry about the holiday hellidays. See, this is why we try to keep Kwanzaa non-commercial.
Works, too. Most people still have no clue what the thing is.
