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

The DVR and the Netflix are the domain of the whole house, and Babe and Gene, as the couple, rarely get a say. So they make do with their own movie collection. Babe’s made some noise about getting a DVR for their bedroom, but Gene doesn’t see the point when they don’t watch much TV to begin with outside of Babe’s addiction to Animal Planet.
The house is, for all intents and purposes, in Gene’s name, so he gets the calls whenever anything goes to hell. Either Gene or Merriell have to make the calls to the repair people. They just don’t trust Babe, Spina, Sledge and Sid all that much as outsiders. And it’s just not neighborly to try and screw someone over when your grandparents worked the oil rigs together.
Gene and Babe both leave their stuff around the house. It’s a bad habit the whole house has fallen into and the kitchen table holds everything from scrub tops, to bar rags, to sketch books. Gene is probably the worst offender of them all, but that’s more because he’s usually called out for some emergency before he can properly put anything away. Babe doesn’t have that excuse, he’s just bad at dropping left over change and random mints in any empty dish or drawer he can find. He gets it from his Ma. In the Heffron household, there wasn’t a specific junk drawer, so much as filling up every free spot with random treasures and finds.
Babe likes to go grocery shopping. Even though they have a rotation of chores for everyone, because buying food for six young men is a task no singular person could or should be saddled with, Babe still likes to make trips on his own. And that’s why he’s the one to buy the milk. It’s proved disastrous on more than one occasion, with Babe being out of town for a week and the milk either disappearing or going bad. He’s gotten to the point where he appoints Renée the milk caretaker if he has to be gone for more than five days.
Anniversaries really aren’t a big thing for them. It’s not that they don’t remember their first meeting, their first date, but some much of that time is clouded with the memory of Julian that it’s hard for Babe to remember any of the initial stages of their relationship with much of a smile. Gene understands it, completely, and feels no need to begrudge Babe his need to mourn. He’s just happy to have him here, in St. Boniface, making a life and putting down some firm roots. He don’t need a fancy dinner and some prefabricated sentiment to tell him that Babe is happy here, and with him, he pretty much gets that each morning. And that means more than any anniversary date could.

Seriously, I don't write Babe/Roe for ages and then I do and I'm full of warm fuzzies even with some of the bittersweet b/c of, you know, Julian.
They are my OTP to end all OTPS. They are ridic and adorable and kind of messed up, and they come with a Snafu and a Bill, but I just adore them so much.
(Also, yes, Snafu and his words to Sid. He tried to be all polite when they first met but once Sid moved into the house, he got treated just like everyone else.)

seriously, they are just one of those inevitable OTPs.... they can't not happen, no matter what verse or whatever other pairings are thrown in. 8| AND THEY ARE ALL WARM AND FUZZY AND RIDICULOUS AND YES, MESSED UP but i like this in pairings, BUT IT WORKS. /coos more.
(week one; sid: that merriell doesn't seem all that strange why does heffron keep laughing at me when i say something about this. week two; sid: OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTO EUGENE YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOU WENT OFF THE DEEP END. I'M CONCERNED, I'M GOING TO GO CALL YOUR MOTHER.)
