I *really* don't understand humans.
May. 1st, 2003 09:38 amYesterday I snarked at
botanist_keiko for her immature and primitive hysterical jealousy of the blatantly-obvious-and-yet-they-won't-admit-it relationship between her husband
smiley_miles and
doctor_bashir.
So she asked me out to dinner.
Humans can still surprise me reasonably often. To an entity who's billions of years old and has seen and done it all, that's a very valuable trait.
I also have to confess that after being turned down by two starship captains and a thief (not that the thief wasn't doing me a big, big favor by getting out of my life when she did), I find it flattering to have humans throwing themselves at me, even if the objective is obviously just to make her husband jealous. (As for whether he has anything to be jealous *of*... well, a Q doesn't kiss and tell, but if I claimed I'd been a perfect gentleman would anyone actually believe me? :-))
But this human monogamy thing. Also this human desire to deny same-sex attraction. You people have *got* to get *over* it.
