Experience suggests it doesn't matter so much how you got here, as what you do after you arrive. -Lois McMaster Bujold, BarrayarEw. What am I doing an essay question? “What does this quote mean to you?” Yeah, okay

Ha! I can't believe you remember the Uncle Yack thing.

[raisedbyanother]

You are totally my Uncle Yack. And I'm going to call you that from now on. Hah!

My stupid ad on the side of this journal is for Chuck E Cheese. What do they think I'm five?! Those ball pits were fun though.

[not_a_savage]

How did this turn into something more embarrassing for me than for you?

You're never too old for Chuck E Cheese.

[raisedbyanother]

Don't be embarrassed Uncle Yack!

Does that mean you're not too old to take me?

[not_a_savage]

See, the yack thing makes it sound like I make it a habit of vomiting in my spare time.

Definitely not. Catch me on a good day and I'll challenge you to a game of skee ball.

[raisedbyanother]

Do you?

You are so on! I'll kick your butt!

[not_a_savage]

What? No! Don't be ridiculous, I said that's what it sounds like. Do I look bulimic to you?

Watch it, I have years of top quality skee ball experience.

[raisedbyanother]

You don't have to be bulimic. You could just be someone that barfs easily. Projectile vomit. Green. Like the exorcist!

Age has slowed you down, old man. I'm agile!

[not_a_savage]

My stomach isn't that weak. If I was I'd be spewing all over my patients and nobody wants that.

When 900 years old you reach, look as good you not.

[raisedbyanother]

EW! That is so gross Uncle Yack! Barf in my spine!

You look pretty awesome for 900 though. No ear hair. That is nasty!

[not_a_savage]

Well, not your spine at least. The man who was on my table today on the other hand...

Yes, because that's my goal in life, to not have ear hair.

[raisedbyanother]

Did you barf in his spine? Ick.

Ear hair is the most disgusting thing ever. I saw this guy once who had ear hair so long it curled around his ear. TWICE. I was like "Dude, that is not cool at all. You look like a dumbass."

If you ever get ear hair, I will buy you scissors. And then hope I don't get it. Ear hair's not genetic, is it?

[not_a_savage]

I was joking, Aaron. I'm in the wrong profession to be squeamish.

You didn't say that to his face did you?

I'm sure the growth rate of it is, just like hair color and thickness, and its much more prevalent in males than females.

[raisedbyanother]

Ah, okay. I'd barf though. A lot.

No! I wanted to though. You didn't see this guy! But if I had I think Kate would have ripped me a new one.

That is NOT what I wanted to hear. Although ear hair in girls is like, the grossest thing I have ever heard in my life. Even worse than barfing in someone's spine.

[not_a_savage]

Have you given any thought to what you would want to do that won't make you throw up?

The hair wrapped around his ear twice? That's really unbelievable.

You're not an equal opportunity hair person?

[raisedbyanother]

Is that your subtle way of easing me into the "what do you want to be when you grow up" talk?

It was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen.

Would YOU date a girl with hair that wrapped around her ears? EAR hair.
