Art Crawl!!!

So, uh, cute. At what point at your book party do you think he's going to bring this up?

Trust my rage

Now he keeps saying auntie Allyson pees on the floor. (sorry)

This story got big laughs here, I suppose because we can all picture Ellie doing the same thing. Thankfully, she's a bit hard to understand though, so probably no one would get what she was saying.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

At what point at your book party do you think he's going to bring this up?

I think he'll wait until some old flame arrives, and then happily screech the news.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

happily screech the news.

Hopefully without visual aids.

She knows how to fetch and she never pees on the floor.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Let us frolic in my totally dope blanket fort.

This is -- and I mean this in the best and most affectionate possible way -- the most McSweeney'sesque thing I have ever seen outside of an actual issue of McSweeney's.

If I didn't already have a Boy of my very own, with whom I am crazily madly topsy-turvily sweetly geekily in love, then I would be pining for blanket-fort guy.

Though, really, if I asked, The Boy would undoubtedly build a blanket fort. (It would just take him a week to do it, because he'd check building code first, and then figure out how to rig up running water in the fort, etc.)

And we do plenty of geeky things already. Like making Mobius strips (in bed). (That's so NOT a euphemism. We cut Mobius strips out of paper and then discussed how awesome they are, in terms of being spatial anomalies.) (Yes, we know they aren't REALLY spatial anomalies. It's just fun to say. Try it!)

(And did I mention that he made me a metal Mobius strip? Which I adore beyond all reason and would probably rescue before my laptop in the event of a fire?)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

And did I mention that he made me a metal Mobius strip?

I don't think you ever did, actually. If I weren't already a Tep/Boy shipper (his acts of love on Easter really sealed the deal), the metal Mobius strip would have just made me gone daddy gone. Bless his geekly heart and soul!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If I didn't already have a Boy of my very own, with whom I am crazily madly topsy-turvily sweetly geekily in love, then I would be pining for blanket-fort guy.

Aw! I was just talking with another single friend about a married friend of ours, who seems to have Marriage Trouble, that we'd rather be single, so I'm always glad to hear about the topsy-turvy.
