Vignette
I'm pacing around my apartment, and Joyce is sitting on the couch looking amused.
Me: "Oh, you need to dissuade me from building something."
Joyce: "What's that?"
Me (picks up cheap cigarette lighter): "I found a video that shows me how to take one of these and install a laser in it."
Joyce: "Okay..."
Me: "So I'd have a laser I could use to actually light stuff on fire."
Joyce (thinks for a second): "So...why exactly do I need to tell you not to build it?"
I swear, I'm going to burn our house down (once we have a house) and her only response is going to be "I was surprised it took you that long". >_
