How To Disappear Completely

merriment

Currently drinking: coffee with chocolate soy milk...
Currently eating: rum cookies strong enough to get drunk on.
Currently feeling: sleepy, happy, content.

The best part about Christmas is the people who come home for it. It is much satisfying to ask Jon and Luke questions regarding torque and force and roll my eyes at their engineer/computer science brains spouting forth information that makes no sense to me. "So," I will have to say in the future, "what about Phrygian modes?" It's the only way to outsmart them all, sadly. Too many brain cells in my post-homeschooled church group...

And this, people, is another reason I am glad to be home. I am also glad that Stephen has gmail. I mean, no other conversation I've ever had online can quite equal the dizzying intellect displayed below. And this is just an excerpt.

SF: what is the present?
how close can we get to approximating exactly when we are doing anything?
SB: what are you doing right now besides talking to me?
SF: drinking coffee
SB: about three seconds
SF: with chocolate soy milk
three seconds?
that is very accurate
a lot of the past can slip by in three seconds
SB: wow two conversations at the same time
SF: who else are you talking to?
?????
SB: yeah like that last few seconds
you twice
SF: oh,
deja vu
true
that is the beauty of google talk
you can have multiple conversations at the same time
SB: what is deja vu?
SF: deja vu
true
that is the beauty of google talk
you can have multiple conversations at the same time
SB: whoa deja vu
what is deja vu
SF: deja vu
true
that is beauty of google talk
you can have multiple conversations at the same time
oh, Christa said this is called Groundhog Day
not deja vu
sorry
wrong definition
SB: Ok I think we are going in circles
SF: what are circles?
SB: deja vu is a plant
SF: a circle is simply a line that never stops
SB: circles are plants too
SF: a plant that manufactures shoes?
i guess that is a colloquial use for it
although, hardly one to be found in educated circles
in fact, using deja vu to refer to the repeatimus maximus
simply shows you to be a country bumpkin in some circles, which, as you pointed out are really plants, too.
SB: are sandels shoes?
SF: sandels are not shoes
they are sandels
why would you call them sandels
if they were really shoes?
SB: cabbages and hippos
SF: but of course
we were getting to that
since sandels are what hippos prefer as their primary mode of transportation
unless, of course, the cabbages are in season.
