H is reading Little Women. He started it months ago and found the beginning hard going ("Why are they all so damn cheesy?"), but over the last few weeks he's really picked up the pace. Occasionally I ask for updates about what's going on.
"Laurie just told Meg off for dressing like a ho-bag."
"Beth's sick, but I think she's gonna be okay."
"Jo's a great big lesbo, isn't she?"
"But she and Laurie are still gonna get together, right?"
"Meg and John are macking in the parlor. She's sitting on his lap and everything!"
"Amy's going to Rome but Jo's not 'cuz she's a doofus."
"Jo's getting it on with this Professor guy. He's not a lesbian."
"Wait, I'll tell you what's going on in a second. Laurie's proposing or something and it's kinda heavy."
"Aw, fuck."(And this morning when I woke up and asked for the latest news...)
"Laurie's gonna like Amy, and Beth's gonna die. I just want you to know this is entirely your fault."

I suppose now is as good a time as any to confess that Amy is my favorite character, not Jo, and she and Laurie are my most favoritest glam pseudo-European het couple ever.
*ducking death-glares*
Can I still be in the Girls Club?
