I'm confused, are we talking about an actual human boyfriend (in which case I'm happy for you) or an imaginary unicorn life partner (in which case.... well, still happy for you)?

It sounds as if you suspect someone among the minions of being a serial killer.

Vegans are human too, aren't they?   At one point I did wonder if he was a vampire since he never ate around us, but he wasn't a vampire. Would you consider vampires human?

Haha, not so much serial killers as other, more mundane concerns, I guess. Basic stalking and harassment and changelings and stuff.


What's with all the fish dissection?

I think you may have misunderstood the joke.

not really, just wanted to sound like I did I guess. I thought she was killed by a flamethrower anyway, so that kind of speculation might even get you off the hook.

Hey! Gutting and dissecting are two different things!
And I don't stalk. Much.

Forensic pathology, huh? I guess that's kinda in my field, but just slightly. I'd totally be up for meeting you guys irl though

A (far-off possibly expensive hypothetical) minion-meeting would be awesome. Sans murder scenes and methodically-cutting-apart-fishes classes, etc, etc.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks changelings are simply one of many mundane concerns of this life.

Confusion intensifies. You have a vegan vampire unicorn life partner? How does that even... What?

This thread is now Norwegian territory.

You're a cat. Cats stalk as a matter of course.

And I don't eat fish, so anything to do with fish guts gets filed under "meh, dissection".

I don't get the joke.  ??? Probably a Norwegian fish thing.  ???

Of course they are. Changelings are the traditional way to describe pod people.

No, the vampire bit was a misunderstanding.

How about this:

What's the difference between a reindeer and a knight is shinning armor?

[kjeks]

I tried to catch up. Read everything. Try to imagine the vegan unicorn partner. Fail. Start to read all over again. Concentrating. Thinking. Failing. Ok, I'll just get my shoes on and go for a run.

[Eich]

1) Heck yeah, I scored the lead detective role!  
2) I'd totally be up for meeting up one day, as long as I don't get any creeper vibes from y'all, that is.
3) We need some fanart of Potato's unicorn vampire friend.
4) You are all hilarious.

Shines-in-the-night vs a shining knight?

Try to imagine the vegan unicorn partner. Fail.

Oh dear. 
If it helps any, he looks British-y* with dirty blond hair and a red beard, and he does not have a horn on his head.


I like the idea of meeting up with you guys, though it may be a logistical nightmare. Even if Nimphy flamethrowers me, it'd still be worth it.  :'(

_{*I may not actually be a good judge of what British people look like}

If my employer someday succeeds in paying my extra hours, maybe I get the money for rewarding myself with a europe-asian-trip in the next two years. It has been about a year now since I last packed my bag and entered a plain with only rough directions and a ticket for home.

I like beards. My boyfriend has got one, too. Also he has some reddish touch about his brown hairs but only at his beard.

Does one really say boyfriend to their partners for a whole live when not married? I mean, I'm out of my teens for a while and he definitely isn't a boy any more. Sounds kind of wrong but I never learned a different word.

Is it easy to live vegan in malaysia? As many receipies from there are, I assume so.

Our ritual toast, like the Jewish prayer at Passover:

"Next year at Comi-Con!"

I hope you get paid for your extra hours, and get to travel! Backpacking isn't really my thing, but I like hearing about other people's adventures.

Beards! \o/ And also with the red in the beard but not in the hair? Is this a common thing? I'm used to black hair on everyone.
I've seen the discussion about the term "boyfriend" before; some people just use "partner" or "manfriend". In Chinese and Malay, the term translates to "male friend", so it's quite age-neutral. How do you say it in German?

Hmmmm. I think it wouldn't be quite as hard, seeing as there's Buddhist vegetarian (effectively vegan) stalls and restaurants everywhere. That said, my vegan unicorn vampire has never been to Malaysia before.

B-but air fare. ;___;

[FrogEater]

Cool down : they say this every year, that leaves you plenty of time to save the money (or to practice loooooooooong range swimming )

[kjeks]

Maybe I should just invest into a boat and travel around all the coastlines, grab everyone up and travel to the US by sea. That would be fun and spare me always stuffing everything into my backpack

In Germany I would use the term "partner" or "my friend" (the possessive noun makes it different from ordinary friends who are referred to as "a/one friend").
