cosmolinguistAli and I decided monogamy is overrated, and so she's starting a harem. She wants to have a bunch of cool people around who put oil on their bodies and wear nice clothes and wait for her to come to them and say, "You, upstairs." So in other words, I said, you want to be king. Yeah! she said. It's a cool harem, everybody's in it: Dave Matthews, Viggo Mortenson, Sean Connery, Halle Berry, John Mayer, Giovanni Ribisi ... Darren was amazed to hear me talk about sex (even though we weren't really talking about sex, more like discussing the attributres of Ewan McGregor's hairstyles, and coming to the same conclusion at the same time: Little Voice was the best).
Ali horrified herself by making a terrible Freudian slip, which involved her saying "Larry," her boyfriend's name, when she meant "marry." I tease her about it, but only a little. The idea of getting married worries her, so it'd be mean to belabor the point. Besides, if I bother her too much, she'll bother me by looking around at John's graduation and saying, "You know, when you marry Matt you'll have to learn the names of all these people." Right.
His uncle came over and told us he's also named John Xavier. "But we're named after different people." He said he rememberd us from Matthew's graduation. I remembered him too, oddly enough. We talked about communism and public relations.

Well of course....

Right now, well, I have three lovers in the same town - two of which are under the same roof. Vivien has multiple lovers in town, too, and, well, scheduling becomes an art, not a science.... And, well, it doesn't leave much free time, what with gaming, and personal time, and household chores, and date nights.....

Date: 2003-06-02 01:50 pm (UTC)It was fun, too. We tried hard to get Darren to share his opinion on who he'd add to the haren, but we couldn't get him to say anything about anybody that we picked. Maybe he just has different tastes, or something. That could easily be; I don't think we're very normal. (At least one of us is, in real life, dating someone who's not normal!)
