[ turns in the direction of the voice, and her eyes narrow. she subconsciously holds beth a bit closer. just who is this guy to say she is wrong? ] Excuse me?!
Please excuse his rudeness! XDapropergeniusDecember 28 2010, 04:57:40 UTC
Well, for one thing, it's certainly not a 'silent night' since you're singing out loud, which may I say is not exactly 'calm'-inducing. And secondly, it's laughable to even suggest that parthenogenesis occurs in humans. The whole religious myth of a virginal mother...?
[He scoffs in that arrogant way of his and waves his hand dismissively at her.]
You should know - apparently being a mother yourself and presumably not a deranged kidnapper of infants - just how reproduction actually occurs. Although, judging by your age, I would speculate that this was not a planned event.
Hee! I really do need to keep apologising, boredom brings out the arse in him!apropergeniusDecember 29 2010, 09:35:07 UTC
I'm sure Mary Poppins was one too. If she actually existed! [He sits upright and stares at her with incredulity.]
You cannot tell me that you actually believe that rot? What are you taught in your public schools these days? I suppose 'evolution' is dirty word where you come from. And 'contraception'.
My name is Sherlock Holmes. I don't particularly want to know about your personal life, but since you are wandering the halls warbling carols without considering whether people actually minded, I shouldn't think manners were an issue.
XD Haha, he's gonna make Quinn's inner bitch come out.imnot_ababyDecember 29 2010, 09:42:33 UTC
Mary did so exist! And yes, yes I do believe that rot. Are you offended by my baby? That is rot!
It's Christmas [ quinn rolls her eyes, what is this guy? ] people sing songs at Christmas. If you don't want to hear songs then maybe you should lock yourself away in a deep dark hole, where no one will ever find you.
[ beth squirms in quinn's arms as she starts to wake up. ]
Woohoo! Bring it, sister!apropergeniusDecember 29 2010, 09:57:40 UTC
You've converted me with your astounding presentation of evidence.
Actually, babies are generally offensive. They cry, vomit and defecate at the most inopportune times. But I don't find your child particularly offensive per se. Just destined to be raised believing in fairytales and mystical beings who will take us all to candyland if we're nice to one another once a year.
Christmas. The most miserable time of the year. Where one has to attend to family obligation and expectations and attempt to be cheerful and magnanimous and generous with gifts. Why exactly? Because it sells things! Consumerism, the cornerstone of any truly succesful religion.
[Sherlock has become quite animated during this exchange and suddenly stops and stares at Quinn and the baby.]
Brilliant. You've actually managed to make me forget how terminally bored I was just a few minutes ago.
sherlock! you is going DOWN!imnot_ababyDecember 29 2010, 10:07:32 UTC
Oh you're one of those are you? Let me guess, seeing is believing? Unlike some people, I'm a strong enough person to believe in things on faith alone. I don't need evidence or facts.
[ right now, quinn really doesn't like sherlock. at all. her eyes narrow into slits. ] Well if it makes you feel any better, if it wasn't for the fact I had her here, I would have given her up for adoption. Aren't I just a horrible person, who believes in rot?
[ she pauses a moment, she really didn't mean to say that. damn momma hormones! ]
Christmas, the one time of year where most people are actually nice to each other. People care a little less about themselves and more about others. What's wrong with that?!
[ quinn stares, as beth opens her eyes and looks around. she glances up at sherlock half tempted to tell him off. ]
I'm Quinn, and this is Beth.
[ she holds beth closer to her, rolls her eyes and then begins to sing 'away in a manger,' eyeing Sherlock the entire time, as if daring him to say something. ]
And you did not just see that! LOLapropergeniusDecember 29 2010, 10:33:55 UTC
It's called science, you nitwit. And that's not faith, that's wilful arrogant ignorance.
[He pauses for a moment, absorbing her confession.]
That would have been a logical decision to make, actually. Adoption is a very viable option for someone of your maturity.
[Sherlock's next reply is perhaps a touch softer and less confrontational.]
Being selfish means you take care of yourself and don't become a burden on others. And what I dislike about this time of year is that all this goodwill is fake. It's obligatory.
See what? ;Dimnot_ababyDecember 30 2010, 07:24:24 UTC
I couldn't live like that. Science explaining everything, how depressing. Some things don't have an explanation, they just are. My faith in God and Mary being a virgin is one of them.
[ she rolls her eyes when he says maturity. ]
Yeah, yeah...logical.
[ she stares at him for a moment. maybe her first impression on him was wrong? ...maybe? ]
Not all of it. At my church back home, a lot of people give up their Christmas to feed the homeless, because they like doing it.
[ she isn't about to mention how she hated doing a lot of that stuff, and how all she used to care about was being popular. she knows she was selfish, she definitely doesn't need sherlock reinforcing it for her.
Wrong, wrong, wrong. On so many counts.

It's just a song. And my religion is most definitely not a myth. Mary really was a virgin.
[ oh no he did not. ]
Okay, I have no idea who you are, or like to think you are. But my personal life, is none of your business, so I suggest you shut up about it!

Sing something else. Annoy me further, go on.

Well, I do. If that counts.
