Give me some good beer, conversation, friends, and music and there is little that will bother me. I try to treat others as I wish to be treated and when I don't, I like to think I learn from my mistakes. I believe most people are trustworthy until proven otherwise. I'm a conversational snob. I have little tolerance for stupidity or rudeness. Common courtesy is one of the best traits one can have. I believe there is conversation that is inappropriate for the dinner table. I love running into people I used to know, but am always happier if I look cute when it happens. I think there would be much less ruckus in the world if brunch were a daily offering.

Aquaman Rules

Ahhh Mark. He's really like a second brother to me (that is meant not as an insult but as a high compliment. I love and respect my brother dearly). Over the years in my relationship with my friend Mark (notice the absence of quotes) some constants have formed. Most of them are positive. Take for instance our friendly, light hearted banter, our shared love of music. Then there's the everlasting Aquaman debate. I admit it - he was my favorite Super Friend growing up. He got to hang out with various oceanic creatures, swam all day, didn't need weapons per se, was hot - what more could a young Southern California girl want from a superhero? Batman had Robin, Superman was so obvious, the WonderTwins' only redeeming quality was Gleek (?) their pet monkey. Mark once sent a pages-long diatribe on how awful Aquaman is. Mark will never, ever give up bashing Aquaman....ever. Today he has tried to kill my love for Aquaman by saying Crapman would be a better superhero. While mildly amusing, it hurts. But not as much as knowing they are now drawing Aquaman with a hook for one hand. That's just wrong. Almost as wrong as a grown, married lawyer man watching the new Justice League cartoons.

    Plan B, I chastise you in public! There are few things as wrong as a young girl's unhealthy sexual obsession over a cartoon man fish and a perverse affinity for a monkey named Gleek. I fear the day that my daughter (assuming I ever have one) starts dating boys, but I'll buy a noose the day she dreams about the hotness of Aquaman.

    Personally, I was always a fan of Marine Boy, Aquaman's son who had his own show for a while. I seem to be the only person on Earth who actually remembers it.
