The Cozy Corner

Jarring change of topic but I wanted to tell a story from bouldering last night.

For a bit of context, two of the people in my bouldering group grew close and recently got into a romantic relationship. They are 25 and 26, the age sorta matters for this story I promise. They're so happy, mature and stable so far and the group is very happy for them. We love celebrating their love.

Being the cheesy and romantic people they are, they planned a midnight picnic on a small island to celebrate their 6 month mark (I know right). They almost had to stay on the island because they were close to missing the last ferry! The kicker is that, the girl showed up to bouldering with hickies ALL over her neck so the class definitely knew what happened during that picnic and why they almost missed the ferry.

"I take it the picnic went well then?"

Ah, young love, you love to see it. What's Cozy's thoughts on hickies? IMO, I wouldn't want one as it wouldn't look very professional on Zoom but the idea of one sounds pretty sexy; being marked by someone. Do you still give/receive hickies? My last one was like... 2019?
I have no interest in high school style hickies.
That said, I am a fan of a small mark left somewhere the general public can't see. I like having a little something that reminds me of our encounter for a couple of days. And the idea of being marked or claimed arouses the primal part of me.

So what's everyone getting into tonight?
A few meters of rope

To be fair, you have a solid list - that certainly helps the process
But can he read his own penmanship? There was a debate.

I think referring to what I do as penmanship is a big stretch
 
My Clint Eastwood movies….

Unforgiven was a classic but not my favorite

The Outlaw Josey Wales was one of my favorite westerns but my Dad and I have watched many westerns. High Noon was my Dad’s favorite.

Million Dollar Baby was one I watched when I took boxing lessons. But it made me cry so I can’t watch the ending. I absolutely loved Danger Barch.

Alcatraz may be my all time favorite Eastwood movie. At least as far as the amount of times I’ve watched it.

Gran Torino is a bit like my Grandfather, rough but lovable.

If Eastwood ever tried to give me a hickey it would Make My Day.
I see what you did there. Very nice. 😏

I'm like Spider-Man but for penmanship and calligraphy. I sensed that keyword and came right back. Also my new inks JUST arrived as I'm writing this post.

Re: hickies. Yeah I think that seems to be the thread consensus. The idea of being marked is nice but preferably somewhere a bit more discreet. I'm the same. Tho nothing that rough to leave a mark lately, personally speaking. Must have been exciting for them, throws of passion, new love, new explorations. Fortunately neither of them have public facing roles but she was definitely a little sheepish/embarrassed about them. 😅
 
For me it's usually three pairs. Street sneakers, dress shoes for nicer places and running shoes. Climbing shoes as well if there's a place with a wall or bouldering gym.
I'm sensing a theme here
climbing shoes
running shoes
@Shenanigans90 mentioned golf shoes

I drink on patios... all I need is flip flops
