Good girl, Rivka! I know that must've been difficult, seeing that I'm staying at your house in June.

Xav - he was actually married, to another Hatracker.
I actually sort of miss Jettboy. He was always a bit grouchy in his later posts, but when I first started visiting Hatrack I remember him being pretty cool.

Xav and Val! That's so cool! I was there the night it happened! (Wasn't I?) Or at least the night ... at the time it seemed like a joke. I guess maybe it got real later on or something? Wow, this is so cool! I'm really glad for you guys! (So who was the person we were all trying to guess that night? Is it okay for Ben to tell me now? Oh, I'm so confused!)

Couples who met outside hatrack don't count as hatrack couples, even if both of them post. Only people who would not have met if hatrack did not exist.
Couples who haven't yet met in person of course count! What does that matter? <laughs>

Yes you were .

Yep . Actually I was interested in Val because from a previous chat I knew she had a very similar taste in music (and later found out its so close its scary). So when I kept saying the mystery guy was me, I was sort of trying to plant a seed. Mostly joking though We ending up chatting that night and...

Thank you . Oh and about that guy, you'll have to ask her if its okay. Non-issue now anyway.

aka, i think you're being overly strict in your definition. and i can't believe you're trying to strip ni! and psycho of that title. the two of them are such a part of the hatrack experience that i don't think it matters.

It's not technically Hatrack love since the other part doesn't belong here, but still... Vincent, I love you and I'm so happy to become your wife ! Posts: 3526 | Registered: Oct 2001

I love the way Hobbes and Annie talk about each other, although it's about five posts and one shared thread away from Bennifer. But the little adoring asides are sweet.
How long did Dana and Bob date before telling us? I suspect there's more adoration floating around Hatrack than is dreamt of in this public philosophy.

Ohh come now Kat, you know that if you were dating someone as brilliant, kind, good looking, and just generally lovable as Annie you would spend as much time as possible talking about them.

When my salary goes up from 0$ a month to 2,000,000$ a month. Or more likely, when Annie's salary goes up to that, seeing as how her brilliance makes her far more likely to get that type of income than my lack thereof.

If you want a Harry Winston diamond then probably. That'd be silly though, all that money and it would still look shabby and drab compared to you.

The plus side of all this lovey-dovey schtuff from the two of them is that it's going to make watching the messy, horrible breakup that much funner to watch.
Annie will probably go completely Goth and start painting her pain and listen to NiN. Her pictures will all feature black and white "tiger stripes" writing in some sort of metaphorical anguish and she'll write poetry about the death she longs for but isn't brave enough to commit to.
Hobbes, on the other hand, will start hitting the bottle with his engineering friends and will become a regular on the "Drunken Posting" thread on Grenme where he'll ramble about how spiteful all women are and will regale us all with stories of waking up in a pool of his own vomit with a bottle of vodka in one hand and a puke-stained copy of The Book of Mormon in the other.
Any other theories?
Edit: Two/too problems

Well, they could marry each other and live happily ever after. That's what I wish for them, anyway.

Yeah, but come on Anna, happily ever after has been *done*.
How about this. Hobbes' rejection of Annie leaves her shattered and so self-doubting of her femininity that she, in a sudden reversal of her previous moral stances, starts being a regular nude model for the other artists at her school in the hopes of finding the woman inside her once again. Finding the nude model business to be cold and distant from the sexuality she craves it naturally leads itself to strip jobs and lap dances that leave her feeling still more hollow to the core, but she has become so focused on outside acknowledgement of her appearance that she finds she can't live without the leers and lewd comments. This absolute lack of self esteem finds her turning to chemicals for feelings of happiness and the crack addiction becomes worse and worse over the coming years. Fortunately Hatrack still stands behind Annie, our resident crack whore.

This is entirely probable, but good heavens, not in public. I'll bet my best friend would start practicing the patient, indulgent smile though. Poor girl.

I do love the cute little comments, though. I think Bennifer only happens when it changes from not-caring-what-anyone-thinks-I-can't-NOT-comment-on-my-sweetheart's-adorablenss to aren't-we-so-cute?
You're not quite at the latter, so you're okay. If you ever find yourself not posting it, it's okay. We (and Annie) know you still care.

The thing is, it seems like you no longer have anything to talk about other the sheer perfection of the other. You guys were a lot more interesting before you started dating.

Still, fact remains. Hobbes' thoughts about religion == interesting. It's interesting to see how they develop and where your taking them. They also invite some sort of discussion. Drivel about Annie, less interesting. It's always the same and there isn't a whole lot that anyone can say about it. Look at sakeriver and tiger kisses, it's a pretty effective way to kill conversation.

Ok, Bob, you and I have an appointment to talk about the anaolgy of paternal authority for the State and arguments on the supremacy of the father in the politcal writings of Rousseau. I've constructed a pretty ambitious argument that he does more to empower the 18th century French woman than to oppress her.
Then, we can talk about the legacy of salic law and the direct corrolation between its use as a justification for patrilineal monarchy in the 15th century due to the influence of scholars like Jean de Montreuil and the contemporaneous writings of Christine de Pizan and her stance on female autonomy.
Then, when we're done, let's talk about the constitutionality of gay marriages being performed by local authority while in direct conflict with state law.
Oops - but this is all way out of place here. This is the lovin' thread!

What am I doing in here anyway? I concede, it's a slow day at work and I'm getting desperate for reading material. This time it's my own fault.
I'll get you next time, Gadget. Next time. *Mwa ha ha ha* *merowr*
Edit: Annie, I'm sorry to say that it'd be a terribly one-sided conversation. But that isn't to say that I wouldn't be interested. I followed your previous threads on the role of women in art with a lot of interest and I'd be thrilled to read more on the subject. Maybe this time I'd even add my own (however uneducated) thoughts to the conversation. I really to like you two, and I really have enjoyed reading your threads, certainly many have been far more interesting and soul-searching than anything I've ever offered Hatrack. Perhaps that's why I'm giving you two such a hard time.
I promise to back off now.

Bob, I'll give you three guesses as to which musical group Xavier is talking about there.
