So, apparently the verdict is that I am as responsible for getting a mouthful of ants as Joe is. So I can't watch him get beed! horribly. Whatever.

BUT!

This morning I wake up and there is smoke everywhere outside the house, and it smells like fire. Smells good, but still. Fire. So I call Joe up and ask him if it was like that when he woke up and left, and he says yes. Then I yell at him for not putting the smoke detector back into place after he took it out Sunday to cook. That would be the day his sister showed up, and he told me a few minutes before she got here. And then I found out that his family was coming to dinner. I was the last to know.

'Cause you know, if the neighborhood burned up in our sleep? I wouldn't wake up. He said it was like that everywhere, and probably was from someone burning tires.

Whatever. Still should have smoke detectors. 'Cos yeah.

Oh, and today I hear the door open, and I go over to meet Joe as he comes in through the back, but -- oh, wait, that's not Joe. It's his dad leading the way. And I'm in a ringer tee and my PANTIES. Thanks, Joe! For not calling.

"Hello. Oh, someone's not dressed." That would be where he turns around and tells Joe, "I told you, you should have gone in first."

"JOSEPH!"


And later? "...I'm sorry you were walking around in your panties."



He actually apologized later. But I'm still angry. I won't be able to look at his dad for weeks.



...I don't know why I shared this. But I decided I'm going to spider! and roach! him instead. I'll gather them myself. I was fishing for an excuse anyway.


My relationship must seem horribly fucked up to you people.



Fandom news: Put a few other fics on the VxT shrine. I put at least one each of the people who'd been waiting on it, so I at least have a page for those authors. Ah, TP, I know you don't have reliable internet right now, but when you get the chance, just let me know if you found anything you wanted to change on Bare Bones, or the other one. I didn't see anything wrong with them, but it's your writing. Also, let me know how you feel about Passive (aggressive) and We All Fall Down. Nines, Kim, let me know if you want anything of yours up? I'm not putting multi-chaps up yet, but I might start that soon. I need to e-mail Doc (okay, that's more of a personal note, not news). There was something else, but I am lame and forgot. EDIT: Oh! Yes, if there is something obvious, like duplicated words or a letter missing, I'll fix that myself sometimes. I don't ever change words, like "That's a misuse of blah blah blah," but spelling and grammar I have no problem combing through, it's not a big deal. I couldn't stop myself from doing it if I tried. ACK! EDIT #2: Cendri, I wondered how you felt about putting Dating Do's and Don't's on the shrine. I didn't remember it being on the list Drakon sent me, but I ran across it today and smiled.

I also posted a fic on the pit. Whee.

Okay, I am not doing anything else on the PC until Sev's fic is done. Nothing. Not at all. Zilch. Nada. No, really.
