I'm All Ears and No Mouth

What do you think of the new layout? Every once in a while I like to change things up - this season it's my hair colour, my reading genre and my blog layout. Let me know what you think! And while you're at it, is there anything else you would like to see here? Any wisdom you wish I shared or topics you'd like me to cover? Or better yet, stories you would like to share and have me broadcast for a wider audience?! I'm all ears, and this doesn't happen often, so take full advantage!

He Seems Nice

A common reaction I've heard from people all over the globe, after meeting a friend's significant other for the first time is, "s/he seems nice.". I appreciate the sentiment, but a) obviously we think he's nice too b) if you don't think he's nice are you going to tell me that? (please do) and c) what's the appropriate response to that? Creativity has got to count for something here...
