(no subject)
I'm telling Dexter about the boy at the movie store, the way he's so skinny and stooped, how he tells me about movies-we like the same ones!-and how I despaired of finding someone who likes the same movies as me; let alone a sad eyed, tubercular looking emoboy in a too big sweater. I am a sucker for that facade and when he looked at me over Double Indemnity & talked about Babyface... How, basically, I think it's love.
Dexter is unamused. He's so unamused that I think it might qualify as anger. Irritation, certainly. Apparently he's the only anemic pseudo emoboy for me. Jimmy is not anemic, nor emo, and he only likes Jean Harlow so that's allowed.
'Dexter!' I moaned. 'You haven't even heard the best part! His name-get this- is DREW! His name is DREW! Vivi and DREW' I'm shrieking at this point. 'It's Namedropper! It's so unbelievably Namedropper except BETTER because I have no A in my name and I know Elsa Lanchester was Frankenstein's Bride, not Dracula's and so it will work. We are Meant and if you think you're going to ruin it for me by sulking and trying to ignore the fact that I am having the most beautiful, passionate affair of my life so far think again! There will be no more grapefruit between us, not even empty cries of STELLAAAA, it will be over. Jimmy's nervous breakdown and subsequent roadtrip will be as nothing compared to my sulks!'
i'm breathing heavily and gesturing... eloquently, to my mind, I'm sure it just looked absurd and melodramatic. But that is the foundation of our relationship and I know he appreciates it as he should. My kitty.
He slouches away, sulking. Then 'The most beautiful, passionate affair of your life? Have you even met him outside the context of the video store yet?'
Right, present tense is getting too tiring. In the end he threw a knife at my head, 'to make up for all the grapefruits I'll miss out on while you're at the video store' and listened to my recitation of all the movies he likes.
Then it rained while I walked out to the bus stop (and got my bag strap caught on the fence and my housemate laughed at me, but it did look funny I'm sure so okay) and Zer0 will be back on SUNDAY on SUNDAY YA HEAR and in all life is so very exciting and cheerful I can't even handle it. You don't even know.
Must run now. Ta.
