This afternoon my friends took a vote. The vote was 3 against and 1 for (that was my vote) that I would or would not do something? What do you think it was?
third reaction - why wouldn't i go?!! not that there is even a banquet or a guy ... it's all hypothetical really. but it was unanimous (besides MY vote, of course): Christine would not go to a banquet with a guy if he asked her.
fourth reaction - why do people have this impression of me?
What if the bears were hungry? What if it was a little late in the season and there were new bears in the area who were hungry and didn't know that you respected and identified with bears because you'd spent 13 summers with them and you were a little bit mad?
not one to be lumped in with everyone else, i enjoy being different: i laugh when i ought to cry, i run off the sides of mountains, i can't answer the question 'where are you from?', i told my husband i loved him before i met him, and i'm a woman who is doing her part to reverse the negative trends of extreme feminism. i seek to encourage my brothers-in-Christ, and discuss ways in which women can do the same.

But I don't. :)
That you would take that art teaching job?
That you would quit seminary and go live with bears in Alaska?
That you would turn down the proposal of some elligible?
Surely not "give up blogging" :((
Ah Christine, I have discovered your secret....you would go wouldn't you????
Or did you vote against??
ooo SECRETS!!! I love secrets ... do tell! Where would I go, Ruth?
to a banquet with a guy, if one asked you...
first reaction - how could you know?!!
second reaction - oh.
third reaction - why wouldn't i go?!! not that there is even a banquet or a guy ... it's all hypothetical really. but it was unanimous (besides MY vote, of course): Christine would not go to a banquet with a guy if he asked her.

Why are your friends so down on you going to a banquet with this guy? Is he dodgy or something?
ha ha ... there is NO guy and there is NO banquet.
Ruth - how did you figure out the question involved a banquet?????
I forgot that Ruth was there when it happened.
... or not.
She's a cunning detective, that's all.
Why wouldn't you go to the banquet. There would be FOOD there!!!!
Ooooo -- wonder if it was a buffet banquet. THAT would be something not to miss.
MY thoughts, exactly, Bobby! Let's go.
oh wait ... there IS no banquet.
I'm guessing... Hand out carrots on campus.
See now ... i don't see what's wrong with that. They're good for night vision and general health.
Perhaps the banquet is in some faraway place, like Alaska. That would be a reason to not-go, even if there was free food.
hmm ... you're right. i don't think i'd go on such a long road trip with a guy i barely know.
But on the otherhand, if there were bears at the banquet in Alaska... you'd consider it wouldn't you Christine?
"Yiddle-yip Ooohoo"
That's a tough one, Shiloh. I think ... no ... i don't want to make any commitments, now. but i would seriously think about it.
What if the bears were hungry? What if it was a little late in the season and there were new bears in the area who were hungry and didn't know that you respected and identified with bears because you'd spent 13 summers with them and you were a little bit mad?
well, if i was a little bit mad, i don't think i'd think twice about it.
When do you want to pick me up? 8? Perfect. I'll bring the forks.
