Boring Conversation Anyway

Etherialsproing: I'm sorry if I was having too much fun with you meeting someone at Arisia and them being sixteen.QEDrakmar: s'okay... everybody's been doing it all day...QEDrakmar: like my new icon? :)Etherialsproing: The problem you cite is exactly why I like the statutory laws in theory : not everyone is adult enough to have or even attempt an adult relationship, and not being old enough can seriously fuck you up.Etherialsproing: It's w%*/nderbar.QEDrakmar: ayup.Etherialsproing: The problem with the law, of course, is that not everyone reaches that age at 18 (or 17 if you're in New York, or 16 in NH/CT...)Etherialsproing: Not everyone is remotely adult enough by then, but by the same token, some people are already quite ready.Etherialsproing: If I really believed it, I wouldn't care (on an ethical level) if you met a nice 8-year-old.QEDrakmar: *snrk*Etherialsproing: In my experience, you can't tell if you're ready. You can only look back and say : Man I wasn't ready then.Etherialsproing: I wasn't ready last night. I might be today. I somehow doubt it.QEDrakmar: *nod*Etherialsproing: That's the annoying thing. I want to have a meaningful relationship, but at the same time, I know it's almost impossible.QEDrakmar: that's kinda why I'm glad this happened. It completely removes the need for the maturity to handle any thing physical and to be able to seperate it from the emotional...Etherialsproing: hm.

Man, that felt good.

You say "that reminds me, since you know him, Jer is quoted in the Principia Discordia."
Sketch http://www.gweep.net/~jer/who.html
Sketch says "He TRANSCRIBED the Principia Discordia. Get it right."
You say "That too."
You say "He was telling me about it New Years."
Sketch says "I heard Charles Dickens is quoted in A Christmas Carol.."
You say "Be careful around other people. They outnumber you 5.5 billion to 1."
Sketch ignores Etherial and just starts crying at sabu's leg again.

Something about Sketch proving me right in the same paragraph as trying to prove me wrong feels really good. Maybe it has something to do with him constantly trying to be the fly in my ointment since he decided I was his. The truly sad part is, we have so many things in common, I can't help but think we might have been great friends if we met better.

I was idly musing that if I married Marc, we'd have Jason (Sketch) and Caleb be our best men. Jason being the Primus Wizards of TinyTIM, and responsible for introducing Marc to it, and Caleb for introducing me to it.

Jason and I could get drunk and become friends long before he discovered how badly he already knew me.
