Chapter 7. Happy to be stuck with you?

WHY DOES MY MAN-TWIN GET TO STAY IN OUR HOUSE AND I CAN'T?

... don't get me wrong, seeing the myriad creative ways people have used pillows to make forts has been plenty entertaining, but it's the principle of the thing!

Genius, I'd better not come back to writing all over the walls again. Or I'll do something- drastic.

He writes on the walls?

There is room in Bloomingdales for more pillow forts! You can join the neighborhood! It is like camping, but without rain or wind or snow!

[bloody_pens]

My man-twin seems to have an aversion to using normal paper on occasion.

... You know, that IS a really good point. I'll come down and have fun with you guys.

[spandexisyouth]

Perhaps he is afraid that ... I cannot come up with a reason for it.

Splendid! I will go gather more pillows!

[man_genius]

How else was I supposed to write down my ideas without anyone seeing them in the journals?

[spandexisyouth]

That is a good point! But there is other paper! Derrick has written a book and it is not in the journals!

[man_genius]

Well I know that now. But sometimes you get ideas and there's no time to go out and buy paper. Sides it washes off! I don't see the problem.

[spandexisyouth]

You are prone to forgetting your ideas? That is not good!

I would write something about bothering your housemate, but I bother mine a great deal so I will not.

[man_genius]

I'm not but we're all amnesiacs! We don't know what caused the memory loss in the first place, so I'm not taking any chances.

It's so not my fault if TPTB decided to like me this week.

I suppose it's only fair that Genius makes Youth a little paranoid now.

[spandexisyouth]

You think we could forget more? That would be Very Bad! I already have forgotten too much!

I do not know if they like you. You are alone in your house. We are having fun as a group. But you can join us if you feel lonely!

haha, it's about time

[man_genius]

Maybe! It's all possible in the Conspiracy! But if I write it down then I'll have a record of what I know.

There's nothing wrong with a little Me time.

...Besides I don't like the idea of just camping out in some store in the middle of the wilderness. At home I know where my stuff is and my food and my nice warm blankets...

[bawww he wants to play but can't get over unremembered phobia!]

[spandexisyouth]

Perhaps I should write down more. But how much? What would need to be written?

You are always with yourself. You are never away from yourself. Why would someone need 'me' time?

There are blankets and food and games and friends here! You will be warm and not alone!

[man_genius]

There's no word limit, amigo. I usually write down theories, scientific breakthroughs, what I ate for dinner..whatever. Just things I want to keep.

Ok we hit another literal translation problem. Let me try again--sometimes people just need to be alone. As in away from the crowd of unwashed masses? I dunno why, people just do. Most people anyways.

But they're not my blankets.

[whine whine whine I'm antisocial whine.]

[spandexisyouth]

That is a lot. I will find paper and start.

Alone from everyone else is quiet. But that is a good time for training!

You can bring your blankets!

[man_genius]

If you like. Do yourself a favor and keep it in a safe place if you write anything you don't want Bell reading.

I'm not training. I'm relaxing.

...I can visit I guess.

[spandexisyouth]

Yes. I should find a few safe places, probably!

Why not train too? I can show you some simple ways to start and they are relaxing!

Splendid!

[man_genius]

Good idea.

You keep saying that. What kind of training? I don't get it, where you an exercise junkie in your former life?

Just visiting! No sleepies.
