the boy and me
Jan. 30th, 2006 07:28 pm"I smell... dog crap."
"Oh! That's probably my dinner."
M has the strangest eating habits. The above is an actual conversation that we had just a few minutes ago. For the curious, I don't think it really was his dinner.. I think it was ball-bearing-grease-smell (from a cardboard insert of a box we're packing) mixed with his dinner, which was fried summer sausage and eggs. Still, the fact that he thought it was his dinner speaks volumes, I think.
In other news, it is increasingly hard to function these days because did you know that we will own a house tomorrow? Gah.
Oh, but I got an email from a friend that I haven't talked to in a long while today! We kind of email each other once a year or so, but it had been a little longer than usual this time. When I was in Sweden in 2000, we had a little mudparty of all the powers (administration team) of a mud (DarkScapes.) He (Adam/Astfgl) was not actually a power yet, but he came with Hettar/Alex for.. uh, moral support, I guess. We promoted him while he was there because.. well, best not speak of that. Anyway, in his characteristically odd fashion, he has instructed me to "Say hello to everyone for me - not just Magnus, I want you to say hello to random strangers in the street for me as well." (Classic Adam.) So, everyone--and hopefully you are random and in the street as you read this--I just need to tell you that.. Adam said hi. Now get out of the street before you get run over.
Speaking of my former mudlife, I couldn't help be a little surprised at something that my loving husband said to me last night. We were discussing our early days--well, strictly speaking, I was initiating all of this discussion and M was participating with somewhat less enthusiasm*--and I said something to the effect that I was a completely different person offline as I was when he met me online. As we spent the first couple of years of our relationship in an online sort of way--an online way that inspired him to propose marriage to me--imagine my surprise when he burst out, "THANK GOD." Yes, folks, that's true love right there. (But I'll spare you the disparaging name he called the poor online me... but hey, at least I wasn't an internet porn star like some people I know.)
Are you all wondering if we're on our way to divorce court now? ;) No such plans, I assure you. Even if he does make the house smell like dog crap when he cooks.
*I think he is preoccupied with some sort of house purchase he keeps talking about, and is wondering why I am choosing RIGHTNOW to discuss when he knew that he loved me. But then he noticed that I am so tense that when you throw nickels at me, they actually make a PLING! noise and shatter into small pieces. So he humors me and says, "about three days" and then I am happy even when he is just being cute.
