This is the excellent foppery of the world

I sorta did that to a uni friend, some... *counts on fingers* nine years after the last time I'd seen him. We ended up at the same professional conference, and I spotted him during a speech. I walked up behind him during a break and used a line from a play we did in uni together. He jumped half a mile high, then gave me a big hug.

Oh, he had to hug you too -- you were "on board" and definitely making your presence known.

I haven't seen him since. Which is probably just as well, since your father hated him for being the rival for my time and affections that he was.

Is Fox the not-in-school female?

From:

Ah. o///o just a little.

No, no. I think Fox is a senior. But one out of two ain't bad.

From:

That would be rather creepy. Does she tend to do that out of character?
PS: Do not give me ideas. You do not want to give me ideas.
On a more upbeat note, yay for you coming home for Österpause!

From:

No, in fact I think this may be the first time she's ever done it out of character that I've seen. Though it does tend to creep into her voice just a little when she's being sarcastic.

Don't get your hopes up; it only worked because I was completely and utterly not expecting it. I had no idea she was even there; Fox are sneaky, both IC and in RL. Sneakier IC, but that's because it's a LARP and her character has fox feet and doesn't wear shoes.

Yay~ You've basically got me Friday evening, all of Saturday, and Sunday morning. I see you finally dragged Mom to see Alice?

From:

Why yes, yes I did. Pete did the dragging, I tagged along. She wowed over the rain drop on the leaf pretty early in the film. Sucker for 3D.

I'll bet. Did they have the trailer for Legend of the Guardians, too?

And what did you think of the one for Tron Legacy?

From:

Yes they did. The feather graphics work is excellent. *eyeballs IMDb* Whoa, nice voice talent on that one.

As for Legacy... I'm not certain the story was begging to be told, but the graphics totes rock. And I'm a serious sucker for Boxleitner. Ask Matthias or Yushi how much B-5 litters up the vid cabinet.

From:

That is me, Mom - like I said, RP journal. I has them. :P

From:

I'm supposed to keep track?

From:

Tron Legacy looked very shiny. *stares at glowy rings*
Damn, now I need to learn the original plot of Tron...

From:

I'm sure there's a better than even chance Mom and Dad have it somewhere.

If not you can probably get it on PPV - maybe tonight or tomorrow, when I'm home to watch with you? *big eyes*

From:

Heheheh. Mos' likely we can find it, if not on PPV then at a video store.

From:

Correction: sucker for complex graphics rendering. I would have been impressed even if we'd seen it in 2-D (and a hella lot less broke.) Remember, your hausfrau mutter used to develop and maintain computer graphics programs for government contracts. I had a real life once upon a time... *grins*

From:

*patpat* &hearts

Don't worry, mom, we know. Oh, and just to keep you from going over and over this every time one of them gets mentioned, no, I have no plans to hook up with any of the girls (or women) in my Changeling group.

From:

You're not getting any younger, you know... (/Jewish mother)

From:

Mother, I'm nineteen.

And you're not Jewish. For that matter, is anyone in your family Jewish?

From:

*scratches head* Highly unlikely. I'm guessing we're Protestant clear back to where you run into an aboriginal ancestor or the English Civil War. Grandma F's side is Methodist as far back as I know, and I'm clueless about Grandpa B's. I never heard anyone mention where your Great-Grandma B or her mom and dad went to church, although there was pretty much nobody that didn't back then. Grandma F would probably know that, though.

From:

My point, she is proven.

Also, Kazie thinks you're cool.

From:

It's always fun to meet the players in person. Although in my case they were all planned, no random encounters. XD Back during the Econtra days, Kane-mun, Meilin-mun and I had coffee together... and we ended up just talking about the modplot. XD;

PS. *giggles while reading all those comments* I think your mom is cool. :D

From:

Oh, I see her fairly regularly (this is the real-life game I'm in, remember), but not usually outside of the game.

@ PS: I'm sure she's happy to hear that. Yes, that's my mom and my little sister down there.

From:

*wavewave* Hi, cool mom and little sister! ♥

:P I was about to hijack your conversation with your mom, but then it hit me and I was like, "WHOOPS this isn't an RP thread~" XD

Oh, and have a fun Easter! I probably won't be able to thread much over the weekend; it's not final, but we might be going to my grandma's. Just a heads-up.

From:

*waves back* Thank you, darlin'. :D

Nope, it's an RL thread. And IRL, this tired old mom is headed for the sack, so I can make the 400-mile round trip tomorrow to fetch the boy home for the holiday.

BTW boyo, I'm not buying you another chocolate rabbit. You got yours last week. You'll just have to suffer while you watch your sibs drool over theirs. *insert evil laugh here*

From:

Or I can bring mine home, unless it's likely to melt on the way. *was saving it for Easter anyhow*

Hmm... do we still have that cooler thingy that came with the last van?

From:

BUNNY ;~;

From:

I don't know if you'll see this, but yes, I'll bring the cooler.

From:

Don't worry, he won't. Dan? Up by noon? Unlikely.

From:

Only unlikely when he doesn't have class :P

I'm up by nine, most days. Due to having a noon class four out of five weekdays.

From:

Rest well and keep rocking, cool mom. ♥~ Your boy's going to be up for a couple more hours, though. :P

... That's a good idea. I should ask my mom for a chocolate rabbit, too.
