			Vexen Crabtree's Live Journal - Mrs Crabtree... Sociology, Theology, Anti-Religion and Exploration: Forcing Humanity Forwards

	Mrs Crabtree...
	Mrs Crabtree is a good person... she doesn't like being online much. She is independent and wise in a very common-sense, Earthly way. She is wonderfluly ignorant of religion and theology, like an adult implicit atheist. She is independent and strong. I care about grand concepts, the eternality of thought, change and progress... I am Carl Sagan and the United Nations... Mrs Crabtree is the opposite. She cares about individual people, friends, the stability of peoples' everyday lives, and the importance of living good. She is the unit of the life, I am the overarching theory of life. My worst point is my misanthropy... her worst point is her stoicism. So, I get bored and socially confused when she talks to about trivial human matters, who-did-what-to-who, etc, and she gets bored and confused when I talk about lofty concepts like democracy, sociology, the big existential questions and the subtleties of Human emotion. On account of her not being online, I am afraid I either need to think of a 'codename' for her which is more personable than "Mrs Crabtree"... but what? She hasn't liked anything I have thought of, and doesn't care enough to think of anything for herself. Tags: adulthood, friends, kindness, marriage, misanthropy, niceness, relationships, stoicism

The Woman.
My Better Half.
'Er With The Temper And The Axe (no wait, I think that one's been taken).

Or, with a genuflection to John Mortimer and H. Rider:
She Who Must Be Obeyed.

It's nice to read about her :)

I find I'm a little bit of both, except not that well read in theology and not a stoic, either. I remain agnostic.

Ha, when I said "stoic" I was using the word in the sense of its description of emotion, not in terms of the philosophical outlook. Sam is a pure pragmatist.

I want to talk about Mrs Crabtree more, but I know she doesn't like 'being' online. Sometimes I get intellectually online-lonely without her being here!

I meant it in the emotional sense too :) (I'm not that well read philosophically, although I'm picking up bits and pieces because my Sam (my other SO) is so into it)

'She who must be obeyed' is quiet traditional :p

There's Herself as well :)

You mean using the word 'Herself' to denote my better half? No-one would know what I was talking about! I guess I just have to keep using phrases such as 'my better half', 'SO', etc... I just prefer to have a name!

I use Himself quite a lot, and everyone seems to understand what I'm talking about, so I think you wouldn't have any problems with comprehension if you were to use Herself. :)

Yes but it doesn't suffice as a clear pronoun; it would be amiguous to actually use it. As a term, it would have to be hyphened, like "She-who-has-to-be-obeyed"... and... more importantly, it simply isn't true!

A more accurate phrase would be:

She-who-should-be-obeyed-if-the-day-is-to-worth-living; the inclusion of 'must' is technically untrue, it's merely the consequences that 'must' follow the action. So its a question of whether you want to avoid the consequences. So 'must' has to be 'should'.

Have you asked her about Mrs Crabtree. She may find it personable. she may be quite pleased that your commitment to oneanother is important enough to you that you mention it thus.

Or you could always use her name.

Asked her what? What handle she wants online? She doesn't know! The only thing she doesn't want, is for me to use her real name!

I meant have you asked her if she dislikes Mrs Crabtree. If not I think it's quite a sweet way to reffer to her (That is assuming she dose not use the name in real life). My point being that if you instantly spring to a name that afirms the relationship between you it hints that said relationship is important to you. Which is really quite sweet.

Oh, well she hasn't complained; she doesn't really mind. I do quite like calling her Mrs Crabtree, probably for the reasons you say. I call her that at work quite a lot, unless they actually know her.

What about "my husband"? - after all you wore white to the wedding :-)

She who must be obeyed sounds good

	Paradigm error!

Our selection of colours was due to our tastes, not due to how traditionalists asign colors to roles in weddings.

Well what about "She who wears the trousers (and the incredibly brief miniskirts)?"

	Re: Paradigm error!

Well it is perhaps a reflection of a true state of things to take into account that we both wear trousers, and sometimes we both wear skirts, both short or long.
