Success levels: mid-to-high

Filed under: — Aprille @ 1:48 pm

The site seems to be working. This is very exciting for me, because it took a lot of head-scratching. My friend and colleague Jack helped me get the permissions set straight so the index.php file will execute from the root directory, so you, gentle readers, will no longer be subject to the purgatory that is redirect.

But…you’re surely all bored with my ramblings about site redesign. “What else is new?” you wonder.

Well.

Not much.

We start our second and final weekend of Metamorphoses tomorrow, and there’s a pickup rehearsal/get-together tonight at the director’s house. I’ll miss doing this show; I’ve met some really nice people and had a fun time doing it. It has gotten me thinking about the hierarchy of who’s allowed to touch me, though.

1. Denny: almost no restrictions, unless I’m in a bad mood
2. Immediate family: a hug or kiss on the cheek is fine
3. Close friends (female): same as immediate family
4. Close friends (gay male): same as immediate family
5. Close friends (straight male): if I haven’t seen you in a while, sure, but not every time you enter the room
6. Casual friends (female): same as #5
7. Casual friends (gay male): same as #5
8. Casual friends (straight male): you’d best keep your hands to yourself, unless you have a really good reason.
9. Acquaintances: only in an emergency, like if I got hit by a car and you had to carry me to the hospital.
10. Strangers: same as #9, only it has to be a BIG emergency, like I got hit by two cars at the same time.

I don’t have any sub-rules for lesbians. I wonder why. I don’t know. I guess lesbians just have a get-out-of-jail-free card with me.

And this concludes my first non-meta-post in the new blog. Whee!

    Now you have to come up with parameters for determining where we fall in the hierarchy. For certain constituencies, it is clear (am I Denny, or am I not Denny, family, or not family, gay, or not gay… no maybe that last one isn’t co clear). But the whole close/casual/acquaintance label could be open to subjective debate. You should shut that down right now with some clear guidelines. Maybe a white paper.

    Close female friends… same as immediate family… hmm… sure about that? 🙂

    Oh, Emily. Do you really think I would just post to the whole world about the secret lives of close female friends? Nobody needs to know about the topless pillow fights. That would just be sharing too much. I would never do such a thing.

    True. What we do on our secret girl-power trips are nobody’s business. By the way, I love your new site! I also checked out the wedding sites, and they are very nice as well.
