Someone ordered something in one of Modern Evil’s online stores today. Sort of. I mean, they went through and selected the item they wanted and put in their shipping information and completed the order… but … they selected the ‘pay by check’ method. Which means that the order doesn’t ship until Cafepress gets their check. The last three or four times someone selected that option, they never sent a check. So. I’m not updating the ‘SaveME’ banner until the money is confirmed.
Still, it was one of our better products, one of the pink designs in the Need Head group. Order one today!
(And pay via credit card or check!) ::wink::
UPDATE: If you order between now and February 28th, you can use the following Coupon Code to save $5 off any purchase of $40 or more: PREZDAY –Have fun!
(Oh yeah, and their latest newsletter claims that they will be doing audio CDs and books on demand in the near future. Depending on how they set this stuff up, I may rewrite Forlorn pretty quickly, and I may even record an audio version of it for purchase as well. How exciting is that?)
Hi Teel. How are you doing? I was planning on ordering one of those shirts too (as soon as I get my lovely loan) as a gift for someone.

Could you date someone who had less money than you?

I wanted to sort of change my question. Would you date someone that you didn’t love, someone who made less money than you, and someone who had somewhat different interests?

I keep wanting to respond to this in a theoretical way (since I’m married) and take this as a general question meant to start a discussion amongst any reader who wants to chime in. But I have a feeling that isn’t Zuri’s intention, so I’ll just keep quiet.

I think i have a couple of quick responses:
First, if she is referring specifically to me, there is right now the question of whether I would try to date someone more than 100 miles away. Money isn’t as important to me as the ability to actually, say, spend time with someone I’m dating. Of course, I do have years and years of experience trying to maintain relationships over long distances with little or no direct contact for up to years at a time. So… I don’t know that money matters much…
Sort of generally though, advice for general people … money shouldn’t be as important as it usually ends up being in relationships, having different interests can be a problem in a casual relationship, but is key to a long-lasting relationship (marriage, &ct.) where two people see so much of each other they enjoy a break once in a while to do their own thing, and love… There is much to be said about love. I think that for most people, dating isn’t about love, and that that’s okay, but that for more serious relationships, love is like the air it needs to survive. Of course, you can’t force love. You have to just go with what your heart tells you there. The person I’ve loved the most in my life is someone I never would have expected to love when I met her. Or even would have expected to get to know, being the several years younger sister of a friend of mine.
Could I personally date someone that had less money than me? That would be tough. My current net worth is somewhere around US$17,000 below Zero, and I have no source of income, nor any planned source on income for at least a year or two that I can count on. Would I personally date someone I didn’t love? Sure. How else could I have the opportunity to fall in love? And different interests… like I said, they’re good later on and a nuicance at the beginning.

Actually, I wasn’t referring to Teel, and I would love to hear your opinion, Iain. Though I was asking Teel, it was to get an opinion, and not as a tool to say ‘Hey I’m interested, but are you?’.
Here’s the thing: I make about $400 a month. It’s not much. I have no way of getting around. Should I date someone with less money than me and also no transportation? We don’t hang with the same crowd, and we don’t really enjoy the same things (though we’re both open-minded). The thing is, we get along famously. That’s pretty much all we’ve got. I’m not so sure if the money ordeal will get in the way of us seeing eachother.

This was my wedding song, and I think it sums it up nicely:
DANNY’S SONG
by Loggins and Messina
People smile and tell me I’m the lucky one, and we’ve just begun,
Think I’m gonna have a son.
He will be like she and me, as free as a dove, conceived in love,
Sun is gonna shine above.
CHORUS:
And even though we ain’t got money, I’m so in love with ya honey,
Everything will bring a chain of love.
And in the morning when I rise, you bring a tear of joy to my eyes,
And tell me everything is gonna be alright.
Seems as though a month ago I was beta chi, never got high,
Oh, I was a sorry guy.
And now a smile, a face, a girl that shares my name,
Now I’m through with the game, this boy will never be the same.
[Chorus]
Pisces, Virgo rising is a very good sign, strong and kind,
And the little boy is mine.
Now I see a family where there once was none, now we’ve just begun,
Yeah, we’re gonna fly to the sun.
[Chorus]
Love the girl who holds the world in a paper cup, drink it up,
Love her and she’ll bring you luck.
And if you find she helps your mind, buddy, take her home,
Don’t you live alone, try to earn what lovers own.
[Chorus]
