definition of "whirlwind"

woah one week and you bought him that much?
a "wahoo" is another term for "dine and ditch." we had a good excuse though- they fucked up our order twice, plus our server was a total dick about it. eh.

idk is that a lot? it's from h&m, so i didn't spend a ton of money or anything

He is chewing on a blanket, which according to Google is calling smurgling? Why are there words for very particular cat behaviours. I don't understand.

Weird, I didn't know there was a word for that. One of my cats does this like crazy with velour and chenille fabrics. She checks out mentally, kneads, purrs, and drools buckets. So much drool.
― Sandbox Jesse, Friday, 23 December 2011 20:04 (twelve years ago) link
"Flehming" is another cat behavior word. It is when they hold their mouths open when smelling something. It always creeps me out.
― Sandbox Jesse, Friday, 23 December 2011 20:08 (twelve years ago) link
my cat drools a lot too.

pulling a "wahoo" in a Castro diner sounds like something you might do under the table

Do you guys want to have a gay fap + river wolf on the 2-4th? Does that work for Lou and morbs and Donna?

I bought Phi11ip a french folio edition of camus's l'etranger and some lapsang souchong
― tanuki, Friday, 23 December 2011 23:07 (twelve years ago) link
and those were the only xmas gifts I bought for anyone this year tbh
no bf here to speak of. and that's fine with me, tbh. (tho i am glad for those of y'all with newly minted bfs)
also i am only on the east coast til the 28th :( (morbs: if you read this, prob not making it up tonight, sorryyyy)
― silvana mangano, Friday, 23 December 2011 23:14 (twelve years ago) link
yeah im really hoping everybody else in my family stuck to the not buying christmas presents deal we made
― judith, Friday, 23 December 2011 23:15 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i have no interest in having a bf either but like i really do wish i had managed to make at least one homo friend here. this is my only regret. i know plenty of lesbians. lesbians love me. i assumed there would be at least a couple gays on my program but i only know for sure about this one impossibly pretty spanish guy who is shy and elusive and who i have never managed to actually speak to. this thread is so weird to read atm. i havent really checked in in a long time and i didn't realise that you would all be in domestic bliss.

question for NYCers: recommendations on cheap places to stay? are hostels actually decent? google is telling me about this NYC loft hostel which looks reasonably priced and decent albeit, very hipstery. Thoughts?
― lexferenda, Saturday, 24 December 2011 00:54 (twelve years ago) link

(i looked it up & i think it is maybe a diff place)

Ok. It looks like we're coming down the 2nd or the 3rd and only staying for 3 nights/4 days because I can't talk the stubborn boy into anything. I am totally down for a FAP. Hopefully he can be convinced to join but he's a little skittish with new people.
― lexferenda, Saturday, 24 December 2011 01:35 (twelve years ago) link
If not this time, I will be in NYC for sure in March for EMP and we will FAP then
― lexferenda, Saturday, 24 December 2011 01:36 (twelve years ago) link
I'll come to NYC... some day.
― tanuki, Saturday, 24 December 2011 01:44 (twelve years ago) link
In about 2003 ago I stayed at a hostile at around 104th and Amsterdam Ave that cost me <$30/night. 2 bunk beds per room, clean, web. I looked it up last year and it still existed. Hostiling America or something like that.
― Sandbox Jesse, Saturday, 24 December 2011 01:55 (twelve years ago) link
Hosteling, not hostiling....
― Sandbox Jesse, Saturday, 24 December 2011 01:57 (twelve years ago) link
I'll be there too -- this sounds epic. EMP-FAP!

GOD I just returned from a party at which a Venezuelan liberal who works for Bank of America dominated my attention: long bangs, 95-degree-angle nose, perfect English. Single and just broke up with his partner. I haven't had a good crush in months.

my sched might be tight (haven't been to NYC in three years, lots of old pals there), but I'm open to working something out!
― river wolf, Saturday, 24 December 2011 06:27 (twelve years ago) link
I am a well-known river wolf fan, even tho I apparently have no memory of once meeting him.

guys
1 girl 5 gays
what is this
― silvana mangano, Saturday, 24 December 2011 07:02 (twelve years ago) link
oh btw i might be in nyc sometime between now and march, but probably not for emp weekend
― fireman princess (furnace mane), Saturday, 24 December 2011 07:16 (twelve years ago) link
1 girl 5 gays is the absolute worst.
it's canadian. it's the absolute worst. the host is the worst. the questions are the worst. it's designed for girls who want a gay best friend. it's the worst.
the second guy i ever slept with is occasionally a panelist. which makes me giggle a fair bit.
― lexferenda, Saturday, 24 December 2011 07:53 (twelve years ago) link
I saw about 20 minutes of it once and was just like "uhhhhhhh"
― Stevie :-D, Saturday, 24 December 2011 13:36 (twelve years ago) link
I had a big gay dinner party last night for me, my boyf, my two housemates, and one of their boyfs. I made the food (lacinato kale salad w/ a garlic/lemon/Pecorino dressing, Kabocha squash soup, goat cheese and sundried tomato ravioli, and a cranberry-orange swirl cheesecake) and my housemate picked the music ("I'm just going to search for 'Christmas diva' on SoundCloud") and everyone loved it and it was awesome!!
― Stevie :-D, Saturday, 24 December 2011 13:40 (twelve years ago) link
that sounds amazing

It's only around TG and Xmas that, while sober, I feel the urge to go to Steamworks. But it's too depressing to really do.
― Sandbox Jesse, Sunday, 25 December 2011 02:44 (twelve years ago) link
Maybe not actually depressing, but it seems like it should be depressing.

Not as festive as lying on the couch eating Genoa salami dipped in crushed chili garlic sauce.

for some reason "rum and pepsi" sounds way less classy than "rum and coke"
― tanuki, Sunday, 25 December 2011 04:52 (twelve years ago) link
Rum and RC, anyone?
― Sandbox Jesse, Sunday, 25 December 2011 05:51 (twelve years ago) link
oh, huh, so apparently i have a lesbian cousin. total gaydar fail.
― fireman princess (furnace mane), Sunday, 25 December 2011 06:20 (twelve years ago) link
to be fair. cross-gender gaydar might not be as well-tuned, since you have less of a personal stake in knowing that sort of thing?
― lexferenda, Sunday, 25 December 2011 06:25 (twelve years ago) link
i dunno. i never had any inkling whatsoever. then again, i've never been close to her. and my cousin i've always thought was obviously gay as fuck is still with her boyfriend 3 or 4 years running.
