MM 3.49

Today’s Monday Mission:

1. Do you have any vacation time from work saved up for the Holidays? Or are you taking any time off or traveling this month? What are your plans?
I’ve got three days left to take, but might absent myself a bit more (time in lieu) if it’s possible. This year there might actually be call for me to be in the office, in which case 23-28 December is all I get.

2. When do you do most of your blogging? During the day, at work, at home, at night?
Early morning or early evening, I guess.

3. What tends to keep you from blogging more?
Lack of time. Better things to do (like sit on the couch with Martin).

4. Do you like dressing up and/or “role playing?”
Dressing up, yes. Role playing, no.

5. When choosing a mate, there are some things you can overlook (boob size, hairy backs, beer belly, bad teeth, hair lip, etc.) and some things you just can’t (see previous list). What are some of thing things you can live with when picking your partner, and what are the things that are a “must have?”
In terms of looks the only two things that really matters is height (he’s got to be taller than me) and (the area around the) eyes (I need to be able to look him in the eyes without being distracted by anything – I’d have problems with someone blind because of that). Mind you, I now know what my ideal man looks like, so I could describe him in detail if you like?

6. My neck and back are in a constant state of tension. In fact, on the rare occasion that someone gives me a neck/back-rub, I am so tense that it hurts when they work out the kinks. I am just more used to being tense than not. I think I need help. Have you ever had a professional massage or ever been to a Chiropractor?
Yes to both, and would again if necessary. In fact, professional massage is something I’d consider regularly if I had the money.

7. Inspired by the Amazing P3nis Patch…. Does size really matter? Girls, what is the real story and is that what you tell the guys? Have you ever been scared of one that was too big? For both: why do you think this debate is still going on?
Of course it does, but the key, as always, is compatibility, not “one size fits all”. Too big would quite definitely be bad (I mean, ouch!), but too small and you’d have to wonder if there was really any point to it, wouldn’t you? Not that I’ve really got any experience of either, to be honest.
As for why the debate still goes on? Well, I think it’s as inevitable as the debate on the size of women’s breasts and all other discussions to do with looks as they relate to sex and/or sex appeal – as long as people have differeing preferences (and they will, inevitably) and as longs as not everyone is 100% secure in their own looks (and let’s face it: that’s never going to happen, is it?) and as long (let’s not forget) as the media need something to write about when they’ve exhausted (or deceided to ignore) anything that’s actually newsworthy we’ll have these debates.

BONUS: Do they know it’s Christmas time at all?
And we all sing: “Feed the world! Let them know it’s Christmas time! Feed the world! Let them know it’s Christmas time! Feed the world! Let them know it’s Christmas time!” repeat to fade.
