Also, she'd eat people

[Jenn and Holly stop at a red light.]
Jenn: There sure are a lot of car dealerships all of a sudden!
Holly: [laughs] Okay.
Jenn: What? There are three on this intersection.
Holly: It's just an unusual thing to say! "Car dealerships all of a sudden." I mean-- [sees VW Beetle drive by] Ooo! That's a cool color!
Jenn: [looks] It is. Sort of like periwinkle.
Holly: But bluer than that.
Jenn: Yeah, not so grey.
Holly: That's cool.
Jenn: So, anyway, like I was saying, I'd totally have sex if there was enough money involved.
Holly: [nods]

Well, given that she offered to sleep with *me* for citizenship, that's hardly surprising now is it? ;)

[cosmolinguist]

I thought it sounded like she offered to marry you and yet still let you sleep with me.

"Let you." Ha. :-D

[stealthmunchkin.livejournal.com]

No, she offered to marry me, sleep with me, and let me pretend it was you. Why she made such an offer I still don't understand...

[cosmolinguist]

Yeah, when you know she really wants the guy with the poodle.

[autumnsshadow.livejournal.com]

HA! Your little conversations always crack me up and make me miss some good friends of mine =)

[gentleman-lech.livejournal.com]

I love conversations like that. It's cool, though, when you get to a certain point and wonder, "how did we get onto this topic?" And then you're able to trace the sequence. Weird what makes a conversation wander, isn't it?

[cosmolinguist]

With Jenn and I, this sort of thing is standard. Usually it's not something I can even write about, because I can't remember them later--not in any way that's worth telling other people. But when this happened I found it noteworthy and tried really hard to keep it in my brain for six hours until I got home, and I did better than I thought I would, so it was actually worth posting.

[gentleman-lech.livejournal.com]

This is how you normally talk to each other? Cool! I know at least I'm going to be entertained during your visit. :)

[cosmolinguist]

Oh yeah. I mean, we do have linear conversations sometimes, but this is pretty much how we are.

[gentleman-lech.livejournal.com]

Excellent. Don't change.

Great graduate-level exam question...

You're just cool. I think that almost all the times you comment on the things I write, but I don't say it that often because you'd get bored with me.

I only got about five hours of sleep last night, and about that the night before. Saying ridiculous, often effusive, things seems a lot better idea in situations like that.

But it is still true.

[stealthmunchkin.livejournal.com]

Holly is right. You are very, very cool.

[comradexavier.livejournal.com]

I wasn't under the impression that it required money to persuade Jenn to have sex.

[cosmolinguist]

The point was that if there were enough money, it'd be the only thing required (well, except for not getting an STD or osmething). I think it was related to this actually.

[setharoo.livejournal.com]

Heh... I always liked that question.

[eerielass.livejournal.com]

You two should make a television sitcom

[cosmolinguist]

Believe it or not, that idea has come up on previous occasions.

[paninogirl.livejournal.com]

This really has nothing specifically related to your post, but it was weird not seeing you online Wednesday and most of Thursday. So, I just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you during that time. I hope everything went well with your family and that the drive wasn't *too* painful. With Jenn around, as this conversation suggests, I'm sure that wasn't the case. :)

If you need anything -- like the traditional vent-fest -- let me know. :) I'm here for you.

[cosmolinguist]

Oh, this was when it was still fun. A couple hours later she started saying things like, "Why aren't there any birds? I like birds. I want to see birds flying in a V."

It wasn't too painful, no. Thanks for thinking of me; I'll probably e-mail/IM you later tonight. I'm still trying to be productive.

::is failing at being productive today this week::

[paninogirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, tell her that those birds who fly in a V crap all over our backyard. That can be a pain in the boo-tay.

An email/IM sounds great! I'm going to a concert later this evening, but I will be back at a somewhat decent time. Perhaps we'll run into each other then. :)

::sends productivity vibes::

[chuck-lw.livejournal.com]

I'm getting ideas about a retirement plan where you wait until you can live off the interest of your investments before you start having sex.

[stealthmunchkin.livejournal.com]

I think I'm already using that plan, albeit not through choice...

[chuck-lw.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Is it technically abstinence if others choose not to have sex with you?:-)

[setharoo.livejournal.com]

Welcome back to Morris, my friend. I imagine you are pretty busy, as we all are, but we should hang out or go on a walk this weekend sometime, if you would be inclined to such a thing.

[cosmolinguist]

I imagine you know this, but just for the record, I am never so busy that I can't go for a walk or hang out with you.

I did get one of my papers done tonight! And then took a nap. That's why I wasn't at the drag show. I've slept through lots of things recently... I'm sorry I missed it, but I liked the nap.
