so. it's been a fun couple of days, hasn't it? i'm pretty glad that we didn't lose anyone to too much crazy during the attack and such but we all know how that goes. sooner or later we're all going to have a lot of baggage but hopefully there are people within our group that can smack our brains back into our skulls.

anyways, i figured that we should do something about the FAQs thing since it's been forever since anyone really has updated it since the doc left. i'm talking about this here ( link to old FAQs ). we've got some info about what has happened to a point on there and if the rest of us old timers croak or forget, who is going to go back looking for this kind of crap to see what triggered everything, right? so i'm putting the link out, asking people if they want to either build a new faq thing or just put information together so someone else can collect it, or do whatever with it. it's just something we might need later.

btw, anyone know about fixing elevators? also want to help do some rewiring? i've been thinking that if this old school is going to get turned into Numbered HQ, it needs some fancy Jim Bate ~~James Bond~~ redecorating before the New Year's. i also am so buying new furniture.

L. no protesting. i get too cold to sleep comfortably on the floor.

You should have said something. There are bed frames and I could have lent you my sleeping bag... now I feel like I've been indulging in luxury while you went without even basic comfort. Come to my room and get the sleeping bag, I insist.

i'm still getting furniture
shopping for it right now even
not sure if i can get a waterbed down that elevator though

A waterbed? I don't know. It sounds excessive. If you really want it, I guess it's up to you, but... I think that we should prioritize electrical. I'm still shaking from what happened last time we tried to use that elevator.

well. maybe not a waterbed. i might break it or something.

that's what i think. we need an expert for that.

You're afraid to break a waterbed? I think they're built to be durable enough to stand even vigorous bedroom activities. Do you know anyone we can trust? I guess I could try to learn how to be an electrician tonight, I didn't have any other plans.

i can sort of bend metal with my bare hands
i'm wondering if thorir might have people he trusts in the field. he does work with hardware stores and stuff after all

Then any bed probably poses the same risk. The sleeping bag won't break... That's a definite possibility. I'll ask him at the very next opportunity, unless you can get in touch with him sooner. I know he's busy lately, too.

i'll figure something out.
uh. i once dated his daughter in high school. he's friends with my uncle too. so probably can text him real quick here.

You dated his daughter? That doesn't make it kind of awkward?

i was stuck here for a year and ended up dating a lot of people
it doesn't make it awkward, not really
i was going through my romantic tragic hero phase at the time

So this whole situation is really Byronic, in other words.

it's a what?

...Byronic. Like Lord Byron? The quintessential dark, brooding mysterious romantic hero? It's a pun, because it sounds like "ironic" which indicates the understanding of the outcome of dating a man's daughter being the opposite of what one would expect.

i wouldn't call myself dark
hold on, i have pictures of that phase of my life
( and then there is a picture link and yes it is a long hair broody picture )
just a little brooding kind of person because oh woes i was far away from home in a strange place without love or something

That's you? I defend my hilarious joke even more adamantly, now.

of course it's me. i was a pretty kid
huh?

Yeah, I guess so. I probably would have had a crush on you, in all honesty.

that won't be the first time a guy has said that to me

Don't let it go to your head. It's hypothetical, given what I know about my younger self and his inability to act on his desires. "Crushes" are, by their nature, typically unrequited.

if you think i'm forward now, you should have been around me then
i usually would get into anyone's face and worm out what they were thinking when looking at me
it was a bad habit that usually ended up with school yard fighting and mom getting exasperated at me
it was half the reason why i ended up in america in the first place

You cared that much about what people thought about you? I wouldn't have guessed. You don't seem like the type.

it was more like 'you looking at me stop looking at me like that do you want to start a problem about it' and it would go on from there
i grew out of it
rather
i ended up enjoying the attention instead of letting it bother me

Haha I get it! That was a pun!
