re: plans at [community profile] luceti

Alright, I know about your plan. How you want me to zoom into the future about 30 or so years. 1974 was it? Temporarily, thankfully, but I need to get some things straight with you about why this is a bad idea to begin with. Follow along and listen good sweetheart.

First problem: How I look. Not that's is particularly bad but really? This is my future? The future is looking bleaker with every second that ticks down. It's no wonder I settle down with how my looks are failing me over the years.

Second problem: I'm married. Married. The girls aren't going to appreciate that and neither am I. I rather not cross that bridge until I get to it at my own pace. If that takes thirty years then so be it. Just glad I haven't met this woman yet. [Because, lets face it, marriage is for losers.]

Third problem: This is not nearly as far as I want to go into the future! Yes the 70's are a great leap from the 40's, but 2012 is even greater than that! Yes I know I'm dead by that point, but there must be something that can be done. The limitations put on by what time period I was born in isn't fair.

[SIGH. But...there is one more thing.]

And, for both our benefits, lets not get into the fourth problem. The you-know-what problem. ...Not catching my drift? Starts with a T, ends with Stark. That problem. Just because I acknowledge him doesn't mean I have to like the prospect. Can't believe that, with all my parenting, he becomes...well you know what I mean. Wonder what that says about me?

[Not very good things he's sure. Well, he never did see himself as much of a father.]

That all said, has my point been made? Yes it has. Will you still go along with your schemes? Almost definitely. Glad we had this chat! [He claps his hands together.] Now where's the bar in this joint? I'm feeling parched.

Yeah, no, that's not going to happen. But nice try. You get to carry that mantle all by yourself. Chin up.

[Nor does he want to get it, as a matter of fact.]

[NO IT ISN'T HILARIOUS AT ALL.]

Somehow, I wouldn't put it past the Mallies. So--70s you. That's going to be...weird.

[Putting it mildly.]

Well, that's how things typically go. So, really, it'll be just like old times. Or new times. For you.

[Maybe he'll find a nice convenient excuse to start a hermitage next week.]
