The Short Road To Freedom

[Jenne]

Oh, I know. As soon as possible, i'm scooping up Suu and getting the hell out of there. I think if I just ignore these emails she'll take a hint.

Har!  You don't do crazy often, do you?

No, crazy thinks: HAY HE'S IGNORING ME SO I MUST BE LOUDER, FASTER, MOAR CRAZY!

Yeah, gtfo, like, now.

"HE DOESN'T BELIEVE MY LOVE FOR HIM!  I MUST RAMP IT UP!"

  Yeah, Crazy doesn't think like REASONABLE people.  And to be 2 steps ahead of them you have to be pretty fucking crazy too.

I've done crazy way too often in my youth.

[Suu]

This is what all of my HIMEOBS training is for.

[Brotep]

Doing a bit of crazy right now.  Can't stop myself.  I'm such an idiot.

[Suu]

Male-type roommate: Oh, your Star Wars costume appears to be out.

Me: Yeah, I have a troop night downtown, we're going to be live on PBS.

Him: Why? I thought you quit that.

Me: 

[0]

WTF?

[Suu]

I almost lost it at dinner.



Him: I never heard of this concert, only you 501st people know about it.

Her: No, I know about it because of GS and Suu talking about it.

Him: Again, only them. It's not being advertised.

Me: Actually, it's on billboards all over downtown and there's TV commercials for it.

Her: Well, I don't go through Providence.

Him: And I haven't seen a commercial when I watch TV.

Me: That's because when you watch TV you're actually playing WoW...

---

Him: You can't stay with GS at his hotel? THEY REALLY DO CONTROL EVERY ASPECT OF HIS LIFE! *shakes head*

Her: I know, it's not fair! That means if we want to visit him we have to stay somewhere else!

Me: They don't control his life, they just have rules that have to be adhered to, because it's a job and they are paying for his hotel room so you can STOP SHAKING YOUR HEAD ALREADY!

Him: Well I wouldn't do it.

Me: You wouldn't have to anyway, you're not an archaeologist!

oh my friggen god....

You know...

I wonder what it would be like if we passed all this stuff along to people who actually know them....

What would happen?

[Suu]

I think other people already know, they just think we're batshit for living with them.

[Triple Zero]

Just one positive thing, please to take note of their techniques, which may come in useful if you are ever in a situation where you need to annoy and creep the fuck out of people.

Actually, yeah, can't you ramp it right back up to them?

Text them, tweet them, mail them, voicemail them about everything, anything, as much as possible and especially if it's very inappropriate and very personal, such as:

"Hi? Yeah, listen, as you should know it's been four weeks again, which means today I'm at the height of my flood, except I locked my wallet in my Boss's car--yeah don't ask, ANYWAY so I need you to go to the store and buy the Extra Large pack, unless you want dark red stains on your couch tonight, I'll pay you back, there's some small change next to the mashed potatoes and gravy in my lunchbox that I left in your coat in the hallway this morni--OHFUCK I GOTTA GO BYE--click."

[Suu]

Oh yes.

We need to mindfuck them before it's too late.

[Suu]

Here's another one from last night I forgot to post:

Her: Well, if you work Saturdays, that means you really won't have much of a life and can't go to events.

Me: But I will have money, which is a necessity, so they say.  I've worked plenty of Saturdays, I can deal with it and request off what I need to.

Her: But you will lose all your friends.

Me: Um, if my friends decided to not be so because I work Saturdays, then, well, they weren't my friends to begin with.

[0]

yeah, they forget that we have WAY more friends who aren't in the SCA.

[Cain]

They might be Brits in disguise.  I have heard that Tory Loyalists from the revolution took it underground, and their descendents still plot in horrible East coast towns and cities.  Has anyone considered this possibility?

It would be irresponsible not to speculate.

BING!

Have a lead on a nice apartment for six and change a month in Burlington. Calling tomorrow when I get back from the field.

If this works out well, which it should since i'm extended up here past christmas with the prospect of more work from this company, Suu and I should be fine!

SO LONG TURKEYS!

GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE YOU MISERABLE OLD FUCKS!

[Rumckle]

Cool, hope that works out for you guys
