That was an easy one. Now try:

Hi everyone.

I had a date tonight, someone I met on nerve.com.

It went fine until he told me that he sometimes likes to wear his Spock ears when he goes out to dinner.

I. Give. Up.

(This one gives itself away, but I LOVE IT SO:

I am sneaking a break from playtime with Emmett, which has been going on nearly nonstop ever since he discovered a couple of evenings ago that I can do voices and improv snarky dialogue and bitter fights. (Almost literally nonstop--I get up at 6:30 a.m. to putter around in the kitchen, and suddenly he's at my elbow, wide awake and saying eagerly, "Can we play?")

I'm now trapped in an endless loop of playing quarrelsome identical twins lost somewhere on a limitless field of seething hot magma and sniping at each other, while he listens and smiles and smiles. I love Emmett and it's unbelievably flattering to have him seek me out and want to spend time playing with me and me alone, but I HATE THE MAGMA FIELD. )

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It went fine until he told me that he sometimes likes to wear his Spock ears when he goes out to dinner.

That is hilarious! But I don't know who.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Damn. 11 cop cars just went by at high speed with sirens and lights flashing. Must be a shooting (to require that many cops).

Ooh. Two more. 13 total.

OK, one more. 14.

There is gang-related activity in this part of Evanston.

eta: 15.
