homeless forever

Don't be like that. You know you couldn't resist.

You know you're never going to be able to put me anywhere but these one-shot 'memes', right? I mean the cover of a book's good for a start, but there's a whole history here you're kind of missing out on. Well. You and the rest of the country.

Whatever. Look, just keep the party going and I'll be fine. Just don't throw me any of the serious crap. None of this rehab bullshit, no house arrest with 'Nana. I don't need it.

I'll be fine.

Really.

Rehab bullshit? Looks like someones been naughty. Can't say I blame you though.

[formication]

It's old news.

[wontlove]

Oh?

And what's new news then?

[formication]

Whatever bullshit the media's decided the world needs to know this time. I've lost track.

[wallets]

House arrest - not fun.

[formication]

You're telling me. Nothing but mineral water and a lot of staring at the walls.

[wallets]

Not even coffee? That's cruel and unusual.

[formication]

Well, my family's not here.

Unless my mundane decides 'cruel and unusual' sounds like fun. Which is a frighteningly real possibility.

[wallets]

They seem to be big on doing things like that. Small victories when you can get them, I guess.

[formication]

Amen, brother.

Hey, if it's just to throw me at something pretty, I can live with that, you know? Worse things in life.

[wwii]

Tell me how that goes.

[ undertone of: what the fuck facetwin ]

[ Well shit, there really is someone who looks exactly like him out there. That crazy dude from the 40s wasn't just...well, crazy.

Actually he's pretty sure he's still crazy. Just not wrong.

But hey, dude's playing it cool, he can too. ]

Pretty shitty so far, to be honest.

[wwii]

No kidding. [ he's here, after all. pretty much a serious bomb in any situation. ] Yours isn't one to keep it light. Toss mine into the mix and things could get messy.

[formication]

Like that's anything new. My whole life's pretty much one mess after another. If you don't believe me, you can just turn on the tv.

[ Bitter, him? Never. ]

Everyone else gets their kicks out of it, my mundane might as well.

[wwii]

Not around here. If there were someone running around with my face, I'd know it.

[ more importantly, the red room would know it, and he can't imagine any universe where they wouldn't exploit the information. ]

You may not make it out unscathed with her, but as far as everyone else goes -- you could probably keep a low profile.

[formication]

Hide, you mean. Sounds like a blast.

[wwii]

Beats house arrest with your grandmother.

[formication]

Actually, it sounds pretty much exactly like staying with 'Nana.

I'm not here to just sit.

[wallets]

Exactly - though I guess it depends on your definition of pretty.

[formication]

That kind of goes without saying.

What about you?

[wallets]

What about me?

[formication]

Your definition. You've got one, right?

[wallets]

Sure. But it's hard to describe visual taste with words.

[formication]

Who says hard can't be fun?

[wallets]

Is that a challenge?

[formication]

If you want to call it that, sure. I just call it curiosity.

like a million years later whoops

Okay, well. I think things people have really put their heart into have beauty. Maybe not the drawings of four year olds that go on refrigerators, but there's a sort contrast love affair with the work that really good painters have. You can tell, whether we're talking baroque or modern. Not just paintings, of course, but architecture, too. But that's difficult, to tell someone "It looks like he really enjoyed building this," but I think it's true anyway. There's a sort of richness to that.
