Well, yes, as it happens. I am.
Still, I don't feel any closer to understanding life, universe, or anything.

Huh. You're younger than a couple of my ex's.

[juuro]

I should have known I'm too young for your tastes. :(

[proemial]

A couple of my exs were only just legal when we started dating.

[juuro]

Should I wonder about the inconsistency or admire the wide range of your tastes?

[proemial]

Always both. Its more fun that way.

[juuro]

Even more fun is that you tend to keep up the supply of things to wonder about.

[proemial]

Whats the fun of divulging right off the bat?

[juuro]

"Off the bat" is different from "batty", you know.

[proemial]

True, but grammatically, "batty" wouldn't have fit that sentence. Not that I usually care about grammar and meaning.

[juuro]

Yes you usually do. At least enough to twist the grammar to give your utterance several meanings.

[proemial]

You cast me in a malicious, manipulative light there juuro. Do continue.

[juuro]

Oh, I'm sure it is never your intention. But you can't really help your nature.

[proemial]

I never have intentions. I like whim and instinct guide me in all things.

[juuro]

Sure you do. Like those complete plans for world domination, just the work of instinct.
Like the honeycombs of bees.

[proemial]

I have no intentions to take over the world. I resent the implication, on some level. :)

[juuro]

Yes, the taking over the world is the whim. But the subgoals, I claim, are intents and porposes.
