Blog Update on "Project M and the Road Trip" (to LA)

Ha! Nice one.

I don't know what you're talking about. I only remember the sweet Mark.

It sucks cos DMad is never here where Chris is here, so the 3 of you guys never get to meet this stuff head on.

Tell him to get on!

Oh shit...I forgot, that guy sold me his identity like 3 years ago. Yeah...he's dead now. My bad.

Haha, 'cuz he's asleep, most likely.

Not much of a loss then.

I was wondering why you didn't "Like" it, then I remembered!

They actually reinstated my like button, but I wanted to quote it so it was clear what I liked about it.

I guess it did look awfully stupid for a moderator to have a restricted account. They kinda had to restore it.

Yes. This makes good sense. Chris and M in a car for 24 hours? No. There's no telling what they'll get themselves mixed up in and where I'll get an urgent call from.

Flying to California when Mark may not get in the car is more risk than flying a shorter distance to Texas where Licy will get in the car. And Chris has friends in LA, so he'll have something to do while Mark and Licy are together. This is a better plan.

ok, children, let me clarify something here. i'm not stupid. i'm well-aware M has been less than enthusiastic about this meeting thing. i knew that before i suggested it. that's kinda built into this, if you think about it, since the need to make him meet the girl after all these yrs means, at the very least, he's reluctant to meet her.

however, i trust he has real feelings for her, and even if he doesn't, i trust he has a pair of functioning eyes and can see what the girl looks like, and i trust both my daring to do this as well as my powers of persuasion in getting it done.

so you see, based on all this trust, i've chosen to ignore his reluctance.

i also figure M is a smart guy, so i assume he's done the math and found that regardless of whether he's enthused to do this or not, when others are setting it up, and the cost to him is nominally just his time, it's worth his doing.

in other words, even if he questions my balls and spontaneity to do what i say, and even if he questions the willingness of her divineness to play along, there's no downside to seeing it through. i mean, shit, at this pt, all this guy has to do is sit at home, where he's likely to be anyway, and wait to see if some black guy shows up with a cute white girl for him to chll with. if we don't show, so what? he can just keep watching TV.

in truth, i had anticipated her divineness going quiet the wk before and after Valenine's Day cos i mean, shit, when you're on again/off again with a bf, it's safe to say you'll be on again during what i call the "V-Day Stretch" of 2 wks. so i was looking for a sign from her she wanted to continue with this post-V-Day and she's now saying she wants to see him, which is frankly the best sign she could show.

is she serious about this?

my reading on her is that she's not sure how serious i am about this but is willing to be as serious as i turn out to be. so i think she's going along with this with an eyebrow raised waiting to see how serious i am about it.

dear divininess: shorty, i'm serious, so keep doing what you're doing.

^Yeah that makes sense. M really does have nothing to lose here.

it takes spontaneity so see these things thru cos i guarantee you, whatever the plan is, it'll change by the day leading up to the moment of truth. one must be spontaneous to keep a moving target in the cross hairs.

technically just being alive is a plan, so i guess there's no such thing as a spontaneous act?

ok you just ruined the voc post thing. he never agrees. in fact, i think it's a fallacy to ever agree.
