X-Men: First Class does not belong to me, nor does anything you recognize from it. The title is from the Simon & Garfunkel song "Keep the Customer Satisfied," and doesn't belong to me either.

Come on, man, they're just a little gooey-eyed. Getting engaged will do that to you.

Re: Re: what did i do to deserve this

they can't stop staring deep into each others' eyes and talking about how they're soulmates and they want to affirm their connection against the sweepingly majestic backdrop of the grand canyon.

like there isn't enough sexual tension in this office without them sneaking off to the bathroom to fuck like bunnies. or probably make sweet, sweet, soulmate-y love like bunnies.

They are not having sex in the bathroom

They're just not.

Are they? Oh holy shit they are, aren't they?

Jesus, I'm not sure I needed to know that. I mean, more power to 'em, but. It's still a bathroom.

oh but they are

i'm just worried that when charles and erik finally snap and decide to desperately ravish each other in there it's gonna be occupied.

Re: oh but they are

So basically you spend your work day trying to figure out who, if anyone, is currently having sex in the office bathroom.

thank god they're gone. that dude just spent like half their appointment telling me about how lucky he was. all of my teeth are going to fall out it was so fucking sweet. i don't want to know how lucky you are, i want to know what god damn flight you want. stop explaining to me about how your eyes locked across a crowded room and you just knew. bullshit.

Oh my god, I'm totally not the only one to call you out on it am I? HA. LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL. You are a not-at-all-secret-romantic, Alex Summers. Just admit it, and maybe we'll go easy on you.

In related news: Erik and Charles. What are we going to do about them?

UGH, SO UNCOOPERATIVE.

ALEX. Do not let me down here. They are clearly in love, & they need to admit it so that they can go on a series of perfectly orchestrated & adorable dates, & then move in together & adopt several kittens & maybe a gerbil, & then they need to get married & have a gorgeous, outdoor wedding in the Rocky Mountains & invite all of us & ask me to be the maid-of-honor (I will graciously accept & bring tissues for when you weep manly, secretly-except-not-at-all-a-romantic tears) & settle down with their menagerie of animals & an adopted kid or two so I can be the cool aunt, & grow old & grumpy together & be like those couples from When Harry Met Sally who sit around in armchairs talking about how they were meant to be.

It's important.

their grand (AND IMAGINARY) love affair with each other is massively dwarfed by your grand love affair with the ampersand. what the fuck, raven?

fair warning, dude.

raven's basically getting ready to film erik and charles: a love story, and she's gonna try and enlist you to help write the script.

so, you know. maybe you can get dinner and a movie out of it?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

But, hypothetically, if I was interested in spending time with Raven in a dinner- and/or movie-related environment, are there any restaurants in particular which you would suggest?

Do you ever get the feeling everyone in this office is conspiring against us, somehow?

I ask only for the sake of my own sanity.

That feeling never actually leaves me.

Please note: this does not mean your sanity is in any way assured.

This is so hilarious! I love your Raven in this: she's so awesome! And the rest of the kids are equally adorable. I can't wait to see what shenanigans Raven has planned for poor Erik and Charles.
