You think she can't still squish herself into small spaces? I found her the other night wedged into one of my record boxes, happy as anything in the three inches between the box and the rest of the records.

I'll be sure to let him know he's up next on snack rounds. Your vibes don't make you unappealing, though. At least not to me.

[noreasonneeded]

No, no I meant me now providing her with a tall pillar to perch upon makes up for me no longer fitting into small spaces. I'm a little too tall to crouch into where I once could.

No? I thought being intense might be akin to... gristle. I don't know. Good to hear it's not.

[acaseofyou]

Ah, that does make more sense. We can't all have liquid bones like cats.

No gristle at all. Honestly the intensity is pretty nice, but I won't make a habit of indulging in it.

[noreasonneeded]

Cats are like that, and ferrets. I definitely don't, and I'm sure there's a joke about me being inflexible in there that I appreciate you avoiding.

Also appreciated, I work hard to make myself more caffeine than water. Frequent donations might upset that balance.

[acaseofyou]

I wouldn't say inflexible. More like sturdy.

Can't have that, can we? You might end up taking a nap and then what will we do?

[noreasonneeded]

I'm gonna use that the next time someone calls me stubborn or pig-headed.

Nothing productive, and we can't have that, no.

[acaseofyou]

You should, it's much more accurate.

Absolutely not. It'd be dark times, chaos in the streets. Well, more chaos than usual.

[noreasonneeded]

There are definitely different sorts of chaos, some more beneficial than others. The chaos one sets off one's self is usually the easiest to manage, although I've seen it get away from people, too.

[acaseofyou]

Yeah, that can happen pretty easy in my experience. Some balls can't be unrolled once they get on their way.

[noreasonneeded]

I've had situations come close, but thankfully, managed to get back on track. You?

[acaseofyou]

Well, I've told you about the time with 'You're So Vain' right? Only thing that's come close to being as bad as that was Denver, and Denver was more a controlled chaos.

[noreasonneeded]

Fair. And you did, yes. That's one song I've wondered about the origins of, given how pointed it could be. It would be funny though if it wasn't about anyone in particular and they just knew people would be able to use it as such.

[acaseofyou]

Right? Though I figure the fallout if we do find out who it was would be about as devastating to whoever he is as when people figured out that Alanis song was about the guy from the kid show.

[noreasonneeded]

I entirely blame cultural osmosis for why I know exactly what you're talking about, including the guy from the kids show I never even saw.

[acaseofyou]

I never saw it, either! Outside like, a clip someone showed me once where he had a weird puppet. So now every time I hear that song I'm imagining a dude with a weird puppet having sex at the movies. Really unfortunate.

[noreasonneeded]

What's the saying, the heart wants what the heart wants, no matter how stupid it is?

[acaseofyou]

Something like that, yeah. The heart, sometimes, is just really into weird puppets.

[noreasonneeded]

I suppose there are worse things for a heart to fixate on, if one insists on keeping theirs active.

[acaseofyou]

For as active as my dead heart gets, don't think I've ever gone for someone with a weird puppet. So at least there's that.

[noreasonneeded]

Is it the existence of a puppet, or that particular puppet that's turned you off?

[acaseofyou]

That particular puppet. Most of the Muppets, for example, I would be fine with.

[noreasonneeded]

I liked how Miss Piggy always knew what she wanted and wasn't afraid to say it.

[acaseofyou]

Right? Apparently at one point she had a tryst with John Denver.

[noreasonneeded]

You know what, good for her. Hope he brought the guitar to bed.

[noreasonneeded]

Getting an idea in my head and refusing to let it go has served me well a lot of times. I will admit it has also possibly made me infuriating at other times, too.

I'm just glad I get the choice to sleep or not most of the time. I have to eventually, but it's not a vampire situation where it has to happen each day.
