The Turd that Won't Flush
I had my second conversation ever with Bear's new...whatever*, last night. His official nickname is now "The Roadrunner" because a conversation with him is the equivalent of a day in the life of the Roadrunner. An example - last night (almost verbatum - he didn't actually say "babble blabber babble blab" - I substituted that for whatever it was he actually said at such an alarmingly fast rate I wasn't even sure he was speaking english.): RR: HI! ME: HI! RR: babble blabber babble blab ME: (pause) So - are you going to come and see me then? RR: (apparently at the top of his lungs) WHAT????????????????????? ME: Um. So are you going to come and see me then? RR: Well. I definitely think I should meet more of [Bear]'s friends. All [Bear]'s friends here love me. 4 out of 5 is not bad. ME: (quickly losing track of whatever it is I thought we were talking about) So - you think the odds are in your favor then? RR: I think so - but [Bear] just thinks that I'm odd. ME: (groaning) Um. No. RR: (giggle giggle hysterical maniacal laugh giggle wheeze giggle) (heard very faintly) and then you poke it - and you keep poking it and poking it and poking it *giggle giggle giggle hysterical giggling* and poking it and poking it and then your index finger gets tired *giggle* ME: (uneasy laugh) RR: HAW-A-II ME: (extremely confused) Hawaii? RR: HAW-A-II ME: Yeh? Hawaii? RR: (hysterical maniacal giggle) ME: Heh? RR: BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA GIGGLE FIT HHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! ME: Um. Heh? RR: OH MY GOD. I'm going to give you back to [Bear] now. Have a good night. (hysterical sounding guffaw). ME: (utterly confused) So - k bye? I'm super glad that my best friend is (NOT) dating Speedy Gonzalez on crack. I'm a little afraid to meet him though as I have a general mistrust of anyone who does anything maniacally. * I've gotten her permission to call him her "turd that won't flush", but just because there is the possibility that this will take a sudden, inexplicable turn and they'll wind up getting married, I'm going to refrain from such terminology. ************************************** Reading: Just TIME Magazine last night. The new book is probably not going to cut it. Recently Saw: I spent pretty much the entire night on the phone last night so I didn't see anything! Wait. I did manage to catch all the re-run shows between 5:30-7 p.m. But those don't count cuz I've seen them all already.
