Life at home

Er, macho latino? I think I'd rather have one of those.

In trying to avoid him feeling weird after seeing all our silverware on the other side of the drawer, I brought it up when he got home. I explained that (tips from Dasha) while we understood his preference for his own silverware, we also prefered our own silverware. So, we'll just have both in the drawer. He didn't get it. He actually guffawed at me and asked if we had sentimental feelings for our silverware. After his pining for his own silver, I was sort of shocked by his responses. I kept explaining we liked our silver and wanted to have it there to use. He even asked "What!?! You don't like MY silverware?" The irony! The hypocrisy! Hello!

I didn't mean as a Latin lover but as Latin male dominant type who disregards women's opinions and positions.

He sounds like someone who should be openly mocked.

I imagine most macho latinos don't cook risotto, make their own pizzas, or travel with assorted cases of herbs. But, you're right about the disreguarding thing...... or maybe he is just that dense.

So, Slappy, want to come over for the digeridoo competition?

Oh god it has to happen...!!!

Is there any better use of Slappy's copious open-mocking skills?

Oh yes they do, of course they do - and their risotto, and their pizzas will be the best, like none of you could ever make, and of course he should bring his own herbs, its not like anything you got there is like the stuff he knows from home (mama?), and you know that nothing is right like the stuff from home (mama?).

Yep, he really reminds me of that Portuguese guy in our place.. Who was, truth said, really a well-meaning, mostly always cheerful and lively guy; just completely oblivious, to other people and specifically to any kind of need for him to adapt or accomodate (rather than vice versa); and completely provincial (everything is 'strange', nothing is good, and he ended up mostly hanging out with other Portuguese male exchange students).

On the other hand, he never got angry (just wide-gesturingly incomprehending if others got angry with him); was almost always outgoing and jovial, was maddeningly but also endearingly naive, liked good food (as long as it was familiar) and knew how to have a good time. He didnt drive me half as crazy as he did the Portuguese girl in the place, but then again I didnt have to share kitchen and bathroom with him, and I didnt have that thing going where he reminded her of everything that exasperated her about her typical male compatriots..

Yeah, send the Slap in!

Just dont necessarily expect homeboy to actually get it..

I am sorry, but I think this is hilarious!

nimh - ok, I can see that..... this leads back to the digeridoo hex - dasha and I need to touch it alot!

Soz - I would love to see it, but as nimh says, prolly won't put a dent in his skull.

Calamity - just keep reminding me of the humor!

I have a confession. I don't like this side of me. He has, in the past, folded his clean boxers less than 2 feet from my face, he hangs his banana sling on the back of the bathroom door to dry, he comes into the kitchen in the morning wearing his little boxer briefs. It shocked me and then it shocked D. We don't walk around the house in our underpants. Why should he? I have started calling him, at those moments, little boy pants. He must wear child-sized boxers, I think they would fit my 7 year old niece comfortably. Ok, hate me now.

Ok...scratch that fantasy.

It probably wouldn't put a dent in his skull, no, but Slappy-insults plus a person who deserves them... perfection.

Haha, I am just enjoying all of this
littlek, have you ever lived with a man?

CJane- Yes! I've lived with lots of men. When I was young, I lived primarily with men. I will do some listsing........... I have lived with (by one very rough count) 16 men and 18 women. This does not include my family home or when I lived in college housing. And only one of those men was a man I was sleeping with.

Slappy, we NEED you. what are you doing Sunday after this one? Please keep it wide open. It would surely be fun, even it the Boypants doesn't get any of it.

Does he have a cute butt?

Who? Slappy. Very cute.

HM#3 ? Strict and a resolute NO!

I don't know yet...keep me posted as it gets closer. How many people are going to be playing those things in your apartment? That could be fun.
