3. In related news, I'm am now obsessed with the American Civil War. This is by way of warning, because my obsessions, while usually brief in duration, tend to be intense. So if everything makes me think of the Civil War for a while, and if I become a bit tiresome on the subject, feel free to roll your eyes at me and just know that it will probably be over soon, and I'll go back to being obsessed with normal things like J.R.R. Tolkien and Stargate.

Don't worry, we'll grant you a lot of leeway with your new interest, in order to preserve the union of our friendship. I tell ya, though, sometimes I get off on some long street of a crazy interest and I spout off enough to make a bull run. I can often manage to link in almost any topic of conversation to my new interest, even if I didn't pick it. Makes my friends want to put something through their monitor. Eventually I calm down, though, maybe take an early walk through the forest by the stone wall, and I move on. Shiloh Antietam Chickamauga.

I don't know if I want to shoot you or marry you.

This is frequently my reaction to JD. And to my husband, who shares JD's proclivity toward punnage. Obviously I chose the "marry him" route with Mr. Bill, which leaves poor JD very few options...

This is how I live dangerously, by punning freely at people who can handle firearms.
