Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Michael's has an animated lighted vulture? Oh, I could mess with that all year long. Wonder if there's a Michael's around here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
if I ask you to help bury the body and we're not married, you're not gonna be *less* likely to tell
I just want it to always be my choice, not yours. Would you take that choice away from someone you deemed friend?

ita, I'm with you on the weirdness of the marital privilege. I guess I can see some of the arguments but it's still kind of odd. The part about not being able to force a spouse to testify makes more sense to me than the spouse actually being prevented from it.
And it's also kind of unfair - I don't get to have a heart-to-heart with someone after my hit-and-run. At least not with someone I'm not paying.

Not at all! Certainly it's your choice whether or not you rat on me. Even if we're married. I just think this should be part of the pre-nup, or something.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Heh. I never thought before that 'fancy dress' might be a I am aware that Americans call them 'costume parties', though, and that this is a far more logical name.
Oh, and I've fallen in love with tiny cuteness. We just went to the pet shop to see if we feel like getting a new small animal. (We're only allowed a caged creature, on account of renting, and living in a tiny flat.) The Girl likes rats, but the rats in the shop just weren't doing anything for me. But there was a little girl dwarf hamster! Teeny tiny and so adorable! I'm not impulse-buying a pet, but if I still want her tomorrow, we're going back to get her.
We're probably going to call her Hamish. (Yes, we know.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I don't think it's legal to buy a little girl in a cage, Seska. No matter how cute.

The part about not being able to force a spouse to testify makes more sense to me than the spouse actually being prevented from it.
I'm not saying it's not odd, but someone felt it was a natural thing to do because of the notion that husbands and wives were one under the law, so if you couldn't be forced to testify against yourself then your other half shouldn't be testifying either.
Did that make any sense? I'm being nibbled by ducks at the moment, and really wish I could actually crawl into the computer screen that is the b.org and hide from the various people to whom these ducks belong.
