Looking at the world

Jun 24, 2007 15:59

Curt: We set out to change the world and ending up… just changing ourselves.
Arthur: What's wrong with that?
Curt: Nothing! … If you don't look at the world.
(Todd Haynes, Velvet Goldmine)So, when your father whom you've left under the sea for all eternity comes back after three months, really pissed off, and tells you the reason why you did that ( Read more... )

So. You're liking being Uncle Connor, then?

abetterlie June 25 2007, 12:25:16 UTC

Yeah, I do.

kara_marie June 25 2007, 12:27:10 UTC

You kinda got it all, didn't you?

abetterlie June 25 2007, 12:39:02 UTC

Kara, what is it you want from me? Seriously? If I say yes, you'll think I'm a gloating bastard, if I say no, you'll think I'm an ungrateful slob, so I don't think you want an answer to that at all.

*locked*

Would you feel better if I told you early on I wondered whether Harry wouldn't better of marrying Natalie and doing the normal family thing? Or that I still sometimes think I'm going to screw it up, demon wise or just me-wise? Would you?

So, you're over being all nice and big brotherly to me, then?

abetterlie June 25 2007, 12:56:37 UTC

Oh, I'd love to be nice to you, but I haven't worked out yet how to be when you're simultanously trying to argue with me.

You know what I would like us to do? Do something fun together, something you enjoy. Something that makes you smile, because you have a great smile, and I still remember how it felt when you smiled for the first time for real while I was in the room. But I don't know what. If I say sparring, you say there's no point, even when you win, if I say day on the boat with swimming and fishing, you say you have to work, and with the luck we've had with parties, going to a party is out anyway.

kara_marie June 25 2007, 12:58:04 UTC

Oh, well. You better not try then.

...

Miss Kara Marie Keating: would you do me the honor of going with me to the Universal Studios next weekend, either Saturday or Sunday? Because I've never been there, in all my time in Los Angeles, but everyone I know who has enjoyed it, and I think you would, too. I hope.

kara_marie June 25 2007, 21:10:54 UTC

All right.

kara_marie June 25 2007, 12:38:42 UTC

Well, except you have to watch Thunderbirds. And they suck.

abetterlie June 25 2007, 12:57:22 UTC

Girls don't get Thunderbirds. You think Clint Eastwood sucks.

kara_marie June 25 2007, 12:58:35 UTC

Yeah, I do.

Look, I'm just jealous. Forget it. It's stupid. I'm just jealous. OK?
