It’s not nearly late enough for the bed to drag me away from you, cutie (now, you dragging me \* to \* a bed is another issue entirely ;)). :💏: But I’ll be glad to be on the receiving end of as many goodnight kisses as you want to offer 🙂 ::lingering, slow kiss:: [sub] 1993. Something happened in 1993, I’m sure [/sub] ---

Me, drag you off to bed? Well, since you insist… At a Tahoe cabin, too- tres romantique, mon cher! This thread may have to be censored soon… 😃 :: plays with Myrr’s hair:: From that pic you showed me, I see your hair’s getting rather long, non? And it’s kinda curly! Cute!! [sub] 1996.

::allowing self to be dragged off to bed with Audrey:: On second thought… ::assisting in dragging self off toe bed with Audrey:: As for my hair: yeah, it’s getting kinda long, and starting to do its silly little curling up at the sides thing. I’m debating what to do about it. It’s kind of a nuisance, but not too much; OTOH is generally looks really bad when it gets to this length. Yet for the past week or two it’s behaved very well. I dunno what to do yet…I mean, besides greatly enjoying you running your fingers through it 🙂 ::kisses:: [sub] 2002. We’re in the future! [/sub] ---

Hehehehehe helping drag yourself, honey? I know you’re athletic, but jeez! That’s some feat! 😃 Silly curling thing? Pah. It’s cute, not silly. ::fingers Myrr’s curls:: ::kisses:: Still awake, are you? **I’m** tired, and I’m three hours behind you! [sub] 2005. Ten-year high school reunion! ::gulp:: [/sub] ---

Well, let’s just say I’m not exactly resisting 😉 You see, if I let it get too long, it becomes wings, not curls…and that just looks silly Well, since you seem to have dragged me all the way to the bed, I think it may be time to retire there. Goodnight sweetie, sleep well ::long goodnight kiss:: [sub] 2008. Ten-year high school reunion as well…I think? [/sub] ---

Next time you’ve got a haircut planned, allow me to do the honors. I’ll shave your head for you. 😃 I’m going to turn in soon, too, sweetie. I’m pooped. ::another long goodnight kiss:: [sub] 2013. Good god, I’m 36! [/sub] ---

Hey cutie, For whatever reason I never made it to sleep. So here I am at 4:35 AM… **sigh** Shave my head?!!? :eek: That’s no good; I have a scar on the left side that’d show… Hope you’re sleeping well, sweetie. ::soft kiss so as not to wake Audrey up:: [sub] 2020. ::ignoring obvious joke about television show:: [/sub] ---

Hi sweetie!! ::good morning kiss:: You stayed awake? And you aren’t tired? ::hug:: (Not that I’ve never done that before, though…) I did sleep well, though, thank you. How about you be like that guy I saw the other day, and shave a yin-yang in your head? 😃 How did you get the scar? Not a fencing mishap, I hope.

Heya cutie, looks like you’ve awakened… Somebody in one of my classes last year came in one day with a big Anarchy symbol shaved into the back of here head, then a circle of them around it. Of course, this was Massive-facial-piercing girl…I swear she had a full two pounds of metal protruding ::shudder:: As for how I got the scar…well…I was biking to work and was run off the road by (don’t you dare laugh) a squirrel… 😃 …ok, go ahead and laugh; it is rather amusing. Avoid work at all costs! Never do anything till the last minute! 🙂 Will this help distract you: ::slow kiss:: hee hee [sub] 2049. Sounds like an important year to me. [/sub] ---

I’m looking around the house for some decent food! It’s lunchtime! ::stomach growls:: So… you want the anarchy symbol too? 😃 :💏: A squirrel? Goodness! How fast was he going? Did he signal? Kidding, sweetie! If it makes you feel better, I nearly ran into a stone wall once, trying to avoid a low-flying kamikaze pigeon. I have until early November to finish this work… yay! Procrastination in action. Ironically, my prof’s field of research includes combatting procrastination. So much for him being a mentor. 😃 And yes, that’s a mighty fine distraction… :💏: [sub] 2054. Maybe we’ll have phasers by then! _ZAP!_ [/sub] ---

And here I am just eating breakfast…at 4 PM. It’s 4 pm already… :eek: You know, squirrels really should come with turn signals. In fact, the problem was that it wasn’t moving…doing the “squirrel dance”. At least I avoided running him over… Kamikaze pigeons? Yoww! November to finish it? And you’re even considering starting? 😃 Ooh, I just opened up one of these sodas…it’s like drinking an orange creamsicle. A very weird feeling… ::“distracting” Audrey some more:: [sub] 2059.

Eating? As in food? I haven’t eaten yet! All we have is peanut butter and leftover Chinese food! \>p I’m glad you didn’t run the little stinker over. That would have been gross to clean off your tires. You know, I’ve only seen a squirrel once. It was in front of Denny’s in California. It gave me this look… and then scooted away. Prof’s writing a book (I’ll get mentioned in a book again!) and he needs his research material all ready to go by the time he gets back from a trip he’s going on soon. I should start soon, so I’m not scrambling at the last second… I’ll start soon… later… 🙂 Soda? ::craving soda:: ::meanders into kitchen:: The last of the Mountain Dew is MINE!! BUAHAHAHAHA!! Okay, I’m fine now. ::enjoying distraction:: See, you really should come with me to the library one of these days. That place is sorely lacking in decent “distractions”. ::soft kiss:: [sub] 2065.

Hooray for peanut butter! [sub] although, peanut butter and leftover Chinese…ugghh [/sub] …there’s these weird squirrels in CA that makme noises that sound just like a bird; it’s very weird. In a book again? What was the first one? The last of the Mountain Dew, eh? Well I control the last of the idle rich…ummm…nevermind 😕 You need “distraction” in the library? Well, I guess we’ll have to do something about that… ::wondering how to get to the library:: ::light, happy kiss:: [sub] 2069. Flirting in our subscipts, are we? Well then, “apologies” gladly accepted [/sub] ---

Peanut butter, no bread. Not even a silly little cracker!! ☹ And yeah, peanut butter on beef broccoli with cake noodles would just be wrong. I’ve got spaghetti instead. Yum! The first book is being printed… ::looks at clock:: as we speak! Prof said he’ll give me a copy as soon as it comes in. I’ll show you when I get it. I have not a clue what the title is. All I know is that since I was his library slave as he was writing it, I’ll get an acknowledgement. Yay! The next books’s being printed in January, I think. I control the last of the decent parmesan reggiano!! The library’s this way, sweetie… :💏: The library has its own brand of distractions: flashers. Yep. I told this to my friend who moved to Boston: What I hope I have the presence of mind to do is point at the flasher’s ding-a-ling and say, “Eew, you have a worm on your leg.” Needless to say, I’d prefer you over that kind of distraction. 😃 [sub] 2078.

Ahhh spaghetti, food of gods (well, food of time-deprived people, anyway). That’s really neat that you get an aknowledgment; go Audrey 😃 I control the only lemon yogurt. Well, I did. Then I ate it. ::following Audrey to the library:: When you get to the FLying Circus episodes, make sure you see the one with the “flasher”; it’s cute… ::kisses!:: [sub] 2082. I’m really frickin old.

Spaghetti! Mmmmmmmm! [sub]Actually, I’m getting sick of it. I’ll wrap up the rest for tomorrow.[/sub] Myrr21, king of lemon yogurt. AudreyK, queen of Mountain Dew and parmesan reggiano cheese.
