I'm afraid there will have to be two dinner parties. Attendees can mix and match:

1. mk to talk about brain cells

2. b_b He promised never to go to dinner parties, but then he came to one, thus pulling another b_b.

3. insomniasexx for fun

4. theadvancedapes cuz I think he'd have fun

5. thenewgreen for musical entertainment (and ButterflyEffect and cW) (and their bands)

6. _refugee_ for poetry

7. humanodon -- to talk to about conflict resolution and generally watch him stop the fights that are bound to happen

8. flagamuffin for funny offhand comments

9. BLOB_CASTLE for jazz and definitely NOT dumpster catering

10. wasoxygen to just generally give me a hand with the rabble

omg, and elizabeth for photography, and ecib for enthusiasm and 20-30 others of you. I have room for this dinner party. Maybe when hubski has its 10th birthday?

wow lil is this because I suck at parties

lil  ·  4109 days ago  ·  link  ·  

exactly, I recall you having a very bad time at parties. -- I think you would not suck at this party though. hubski is about the same in person as we are on line, except taller -- yes we are taller in person, especially b_b

If you think we could pry you away from gaming for the party, I'll put you in for wry observation.

_refugee_  ·  4108 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I am actually shorter, but not trying to nitpick. I like to believe the size of my personality makes me seem higher than 5'3".

lil is that all I am to you

user-inactivated  ·  4109 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Also you've gone and unfollowed me again so I guess that shows how far humor gets us in the 21st century

lil  ·  4109 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  

What do you mean "again"?

FOLLOW FALLOW

I have to leave my follows fallow for a short while for crop rotation:

a fallow feed is a feed that has been plowed and harrowed but left unsown for a period in order to restore its fertility as part of a crop rotation or to avoid surplus production.

I fallowed everyone.

I wanted to clear the slate as so many of my followees had gone AWOL from hubski. I'm going to start again with a protocal, criteria, maybe even an algorithm.

Previously I followed for self-esteem of the followee. I am going through a personal crisis and have to stop enabling.

user-inactivated  ·  4109 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Ah, as long as there's theory behind it.

thenewgreen  ·  4108 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Badged! I highly suggest cleaning out the following list from time to time and starting anew. It's actually fun and it shows me who I actually feel an affinity for.

lil  ·  4108 days ago  ·  link  ·  

tags too.

I'm only going to follow "science" for a bit.

and "poetry" I guess.

and "drinkclub" and and and

lil  ·  4109 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Note ButterflyEffect I am responding to my own comment: Should I change the words "crop rotation" in the above definition to "crap rotation"?

ButterflyEffect  ·  4109 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I only unfollow people that respond to their own comments.

user-inactivated  ·  4109 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Comments are ephemeral. Double comments are eternal.

_refugee_  ·  4109 days ago  ·  link  ·  

But who would fight with whom!

thenewgreen  ·  4109 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I'll fight with Humanodon just to throw a monkey wrench in lils design. See you all in 10 years, but hopefully much sooner.

humanodon  ·  4109 days ago  ·  link  ·  

THUNDERDOME!

user-inactivated  ·  4108 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I'm calling out insomniasexx for a throwdown.

insomniasexx  ·  4108 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Watch out. I fight dirty and I always get my way. :)

user-inactivated  ·  4108 days ago  ·  link  ·  

eightbitsamurai, will you back me up with some brass knuckles?

user-inactivated  ·  4108 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Eightbit, the Bloodcurdling Beefcake Emperor, will come in for the assist!

user-inactivated  ·  4108 days ago  ·  link  ·  

insomniasexx, who's your sidekick?

_refugee_

No one can (or should ever attempt to) stand up against two women who are incredibly strong, occasionally psychotic, undeniably sexy and most certainly crass & clever. Cower in fear, my dear lads. We will sync our periods, don our push-up sports bras, and fight at the next full moon.

_refugee_  ·  4108 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Yes. Let's live together. I can move across the country, I can. We can work out together and you can tell me the mysterious ways of the thigh gap.

Edit: although I'm on that magic kind of medicine that makes my period come once every three months, and you should be, too. Because once a month? Fuck that

I suppose my humor was lost in the text.

user-inactivated  ·  4107 days ago  ·  link  ·  

It wasn't. Perhaps I was being ironic.

_refugee_  ·  4107 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Ah, okay. A thigh gap is not in my genetics but it is in insom's. If I were a superhero I would be thunder thigh woman. We could make jokes about this. "Strangles strangers with her thighs!"

lil  ·  4107 days ago  ·  link  ·  

It's all about thighs with you.

_refugee_  ·  4106 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Thighs, lil, and clavicles.

BLOB_CASTLE  ·  4106 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Dumpster food is probably better than most catering.

elizabeth  ·  4107 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I have a "thing" here now! It's nice compared to other forums where i'm usually just a faceless comment :) I'm not even so much into photography in life but i've been taking more pictures lately when traveling. Now I can't wait for photochallenges just so I can show off :P Seems like a fun party, i hope one day I actually make it to a meetup.

humanodon  ·  4109 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I can eat dinner twice! Though I'm interested in resolving conflict, the field of conflict resolution is actually more concerned with conflict engagement and management. So to put it another way, conflict (including fighting) is something that can actually be useful in advancing relationships and producing positive outcomes for those involved. I feel like hubski is already fairly open to that, at least compared to other internet communities.
