Ooh, here's a question I don't know the answer to: in Ireland/other strongly Catholic countries, is it considered fine to neuter and/or spay one's housepets, or would that constitute a blasphemy in the eyes of God?

Did I tell you the real reason why I have to marry Tessa? It is a matter of common record that I have the same birthday as John Lennon... but maybe you didn't know that she shares hers with Yoko Ono. The match was clearly written in the stars, in much the same may as my inevitable death by shooting.

Here's a picture of us being all John and Yokoey:



And this is just a nice one of Tessa in general from the same weekend:




There you go, [info]bateleur, she is REAL.

She's lovely, unlike Ms. Ono. Hopefully her singing voice is better, too.

She's a bit of a fan of the old primal scream therapy, is our Tessa. Or maybe that's just when I don't tidy up after myself round the house...

She is very pretty. I like the top one of you, too. You look like you're just being yourself.

Yeah, it's like the spy character from Rebecca's World who's always swapping around his masks, and then at the end Rebecca says, that's a handsome one, I like it, and he gets all flustered because it's his real face.

Though in actual fact my real self wears pink bunny ears and ludicrous goth boots and I defy anyone to prove otherwise.

How does one eat the sight of naked verlaine shoulderflesh? Is that like devouring someone/something with one's eyes? ITWSBT.

Wow, she is so cute I could just eat her right up.

Have you found yourself another pocket venus?

Mmmm... John and Yoko... Naw... you're both more AWESOME! (and I do carry both in pretty high esteem) But that said I really hope you're not destined to death by shooting. I'm sure Tessa wouldn't appreciate it. Having listened to radio broadcasts from the week after John Lennon's murder, I don't think it would be much fun (to put things mildly).

Photos! Hurrah!

Still got good taste in girlfriends I see. Although the uniformly black-and-white photography still leaves us with the vague possibility that she might have bright blue skin... ;-)

Everyone in Canada has blue skin. It's -40 degrees before windchill, you know.

I certainly hope you are destined for a much nicer relationship than John and Yoko's one! Are you going to go on a macro-diet and get all thin again?
;-)

I do wish you both all the best though - have you set a date yet?

May 17th 2009... come to beautiful British Columbia!

Between chasing around after my puppy and Wii Fit (out this week I'm told) I'm sure I won't need a macro-diet to revert to my former state of emaciation...

Oh my god, that is fantastic news. I've got nothing major against RTD and Season 4 has been great so far (we LOVED "The Unicorn and the Wasp" this weekend), but Moffat at the helm is a dream come true.

I've checked out your birthday and you weren't born on the same day as anyone more sinister than Paul McGann, you big story.

More sinister than Paul McGann? Can it be possible?

A winner is you! She's quite lovely! Lovely looking at least... It's a good start, that's basically the crux of my message and if she's a horrid person at least you have the solid basis of beauty to begin the personality reprogramming you have oft spoken of.

No-one answered your question! I'm no expert, but my belief is that it's only human procreation that's divinely mandated, so tampering with animals' bits is all fine -- after all, Adam was told they were pretty much at his disposal.

Aha, you see, I think Tessa was talking about fixing Finnegan to someone from Ireland or thereabouts and they expressed surprise about it, as though it wasn't traditionally done in their country. I think it would be quite nice if a country was a procreative riot for all God's creation. Plus I think people might be quite resentful about securing a freedom from multiple parenthood for their pet that they themselves were papally denied. But I just don't know. I know so LITTLE of the grand scheme of things.

Could surprise have more to do with ruralism than Catholicism? I bet they neuter pets like crazy in Dublin.

AFAIK though Orthodox Jews don't agree with neutering, if that helps.

Now you've got me wondering if Orthodox Jews ever circumcise their pets, though...

welp, she looks like she could be your sister so clearly that must be a plus.

but man, she looks a bit too awesome for a yoko comparison though.

But if Brian Wilson had found his own Geminean twin/soulmate in time, he'd never have gone crazy at all.
