There will be a post of substance later, I promise. For now, a meme from nikkicoco777:

On what date do you usually do the deed?
I don't often go on real "dates." But, um, usually not long after I get to know them. Sometimes this is the first day. Sometimes the first week. But it's been years since "we're officially a couple" didn't come until after "we've had sex."

Should you ever give a relationship a second chance?
That depends entirely on why it ended to start with.

Have you ever fooled around with a co-worker?
Nope. I usually don't work with the kind of people I'd be willing to fool around with. Hell, I'd love to have a job where the people I worked with, are the kind of people I'd do that with.

Who ended your last relationship?
Not me.

Would you ever have a relationship with someone 10 years or more older than you?
Yes. But it would depend a great deal on the person. Not that this has ever happened, mind you...

How long could you abstain from sex or masturbation?
Um...a few days? That was how I knew that Strattera, and Lexapro, had fucked with my sex drive. I'd realize it had been over a week since I'd masturbated.

What's your opinion of PDA?
Hugs and and occasional kiss are one thing, but making out in public always seemed really high-school to me.

What's the first thing you check out on someone you're attracted to?
Hair and eyes and smile.

How did you meet your partner?
I met rikell42 the first time I went to jenhowell's place, I believe. I met her at ourglasslake and jameslentz's Halloween party last year. The above group of people, I believe, all met each other through veganpeople and Vegan Meetups and each other. I love the internet. Especially LJ.

What first attracts you to someone?
Usually? How they act in social situations. Because I usually meet people through friends. They don't have to be, y'know, the center of attention or anything...but just how they interact with other people and me, I suppose.

What is your ideal seduction date?
Food and walking and talking and music. Possibly in that order.

Have you ever had a workplace romance?
No.

What's your favorite thing about your partner?
Making him laugh.

Now, this is one of those "tag five people!" memes but I figure you guys can answer it if you want, or not if you don't want. Although I'd love to see some people's responses.

Tomorrow:

Eat
Take shower, blowdry my hair and put stuff in to make it super-shiny
Find sheet music, erase any notes I made before I photocopied it, put it in alphabetical order
Pack up backpack (water bottle, sheet music/my copies, camera with batteries, something to knit, something to read, hairbrush, clothes for concert, makeup, and maybe my contacts? I haven't worn them in over a month, probably not)
Leave house by one or so, and run through the trickier stuff with my cd player/sheet music on the max
Go to Whole Foods on Burnside and grab food I can eat in a hurry and won't make me feel ill--juice, soft stuff

I have to be there at 2:45, for a 7:00 show. In theory we get an hour, later on in the day, to eat. That means half an hour, more likely. I'm glad they gave us an hour though, in the past they've given us forty-five minutes and it's really fifteen.

I don't know who's coming, other than my parents and rikell42. Even if it's just them, it's still neato to have people to hug and all that when I get out.

Oh, funny story today: When we left his house this morning, we stopped at People's Co-op. I'm wearing my shirt from last December's concert, and the cashier says to me, "Oh, are you with Aurora?"
"Yes!" I said. "I'm on my way to a dress rehearsal, even! We have a concert tomorrow night."
"Oh, I know," she replied, "I have a ticket. I sang a couple terms with Aurora a few years ago." I didn't get her name, I think she said she'd been a Soprano? Either way, that kicked ass.

I'm going to have to take a benadryl tonight or I ain't getting any sleep.
