Random Update/Feeling Old/Meme
I've just been invited to join the Facebook group of my HS Class' 10th year anniv reunion. How old do I feel right now? I have no intention to go to said Reunion, there's only about 1-2 people I'd like to see that I don't still talk to and besdies, I have at least one person per work day go, "Didn't we got to high school togehter?" To which I am

Ray would say drinking and video games are their favorite non-sexual activity, but Walt would give him that look. And if he could keep a straight face while saying it, he’d claim working for a charity. Or leaving annoying voice messages to Brad, but that’s more Ray’s favorite activity. So he’ll go with their one true love: Monster Truck Rallies. It might make them redneck hicks, but hell, got to keep pride in where you come from.
Walt steals all the hot water in the morning. Every last drop. They’re both fans of long showers. Months in nothing but MOPP suits full of grime and smelling like ball-sweat will do that to you. Ray’s used to cold showers though, he doesn’t care as long as he’s fucking clean.
Ray loves Italian, from the shitty Chef Boyardee in a can, to the real stuff, it’s his favorite cuisine. Even if he cheats on it some time for some gut rotting KFC or Taco Bell, he always goes back to the Italian. Walt, usually trying to make up for stealing all the hot water afuckinggain, will pick up some chicken parm with penne for Ray on the way home. And he’ll put up with the horrible garlic flavored and smelling Ray mouth, b/c he’s the one who used up all the damn water to begin with.
They fight about a lot of big things, like Walt working with private contractors and taking his ass over there again to get shot at without Ray or Colbert or Trombley or hell, even Reporter to watch his six. They fight about a lot of little things too, but the most bullshit thing is where Ray puts the keys. Walt went out and bought some redneck gun rack altar piece of shit that has a key holder on it. Ray hates the thing and plots each morning how to accidentally break it. In general protest he purposefully leaves their keys in different places throughout the apartment.
The Corps brainwashing is still strong in both of them. They clean pretty much equally and rarely let shit trail through the apartment. If anything, Ray’s likely to leave his hoodies over the back of the kitchen chairs and Walt’s got an odd habit for taking one shoe off by the door and dropping the other by the couch. Other than that, their place is damn near sparkling.
The DVR is too advanced for Walt, so Ray’s got that one covered. Walt’s in charge of the Netflix queue, but Ray will still goes in and changes the arrangement just for shits, giggles, and boredom.
Walt’s the one in charge of calling their landlord when shit gets fucked up. They both know Ray will eventually stoop to long, drawn-out observations on the landlord’s sex life, brains, competency, and the lack thereof, so it’s really better if Walt makes the calls. It guarantees they won’t get kicked out or warned by the cops for making lewd and violent threats or some other bullshit Ray thinks they made up just to fuck with him.
Ray buys the milk. It’s a habit left over from childhood. If it’s Sunday, he must go to Wal-Mart, and he always ends up buying milk. Walt stopped laughing when he realized the Evil Empire really was a cheaper place to shop than the grocery store.
They don’t really celebrate anniversaries. The Marine Corps Birthday is one they keep up with, the dates Ray and Walt completed their service another, but they’re not the cake, candle, and roses kind of guys. As long as they remember birthdays and to pay the rent they’re both pretty much happy and covered. They’re just damn thankful to be alive and mostly whole. Hallmark doesn’t make a card yet for I’m Happy You Survived A War so they just make do. Like always.

AND WALT LEAVING ONE SHOE BY THE DOOR AND ONE BY THE COUCH. AND RAY'S PROTEST OF THE ATROCITIES IN HIS HOME BY LEAVING HIS KEYS EVERYWHERE THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO GO. and the way that they really do balance each other beautifully, really, when you think about it -- walt calling the landlord, and ray's shopping tradition, etc etc.
....this made my soft spot for this pairing really grow.
