have no fear, i tend to control myself around children (assuming they are over the age of 16, right?) there will be no getting naked in front of them. drunk i can't promise. perhaps we could tuck them in extra early (i start drinking around 4 pm) on those days reserved for drinking? or better yet, maybe we could convince your girlfriend to take them out of the house for a while (say the weekend) so that we may 'be one with nature and find oureslves' among liquor and camp fires (we meaning me and your six best friends of course. you would be invited too, but at this point i'm very interested in jon). now, if your girlfriend taking them out for a weekend retreat isn't a possibility, perhaps you and your girlfriend could take them out for the weekend. if i live there, i want to feel at home. and i only feel at home in places where i'm allowed to strip off my clothes and frolic through the woods, just like every other human being. if weekends aren't an option, then i'll go with weekdays. but, since you have to work you wouldn't be joining us (me and your friends). is that a correct assumption? if this is going to work, i must feel at home and nothing says home like me passed out on the floor or lying naked in the bath tub. would that be ok? could you explain to your children that i was only showering and fell down? or that i slipped while vacuuming and forgot to put my clothes on? i'm starting to get worried about the children. not that i'd be a bad influence of course, but that they may not understand why daddy's new girlfriend frequently is laying on the floor with an empty bottle of bourbon in her hand. would you be able to explain things to them? would you at least lie to them, for my sake?
i swear, i think i've been to your house before. or perhaps my sister's current residence is turning into your plan? it's always a good time, but i do need some time to myself. how would you handle that? could i have 'karen time'? plus, everytime i go over to my sister's house, i seem to end up in some sort of bind, involving her future father in law (he's an engineer you know? would you consider changing professions?), her future brother in law, and my future brother in law. and i'll not even mention the tension between me and her future mother in law. so, if put in this particular setting, i'm almost afraid of my future (or lack thereof). if it is anything similar to what happens at my sisters, i don't know that you could handle it. i'm not entirely sure i could handle it for a long period of time.
oh dear god! i just reread you post. when i first read it, i thought you said you were concerned about sounding like my boyfriend. after taking another look, i have discovered you are UNconcerned about sounding like him. hmmmm... i'll have to think about that for a minute.
what's the "X' rack in the basement? you said it isn't fun, but for some reason i think it sounds rather tempting. i wouldn't want to burn your guitar, but is there a lesser crime i could commit to warrant a trip to the "X" rack?
and i wouldn't really sell your children. i could never be that hurtful. but, would renting them out be ok? even just for a few days, to a good home?
you said you were sorry about my dream. for that, i've decided to forgive you for being unconcerned about sounding like my old man. but, the dream didn't have a 'nightmare' feel to it. i didn't wake up sweating (ok, you caught me, i did but not because of the dream) or breathing heavy (again a lie, but not from the dream). it was just an odd dream. i'm sorry you wasted your sympathy on that. i'll try to be more precise when describing my dreams in the future, so that you don't waste sympathy where it is not needed. now, if you want to be sorry, you could be sorry for not backing down on the pony. also, do you know anything about ponies? i'm rather tall and someone suggested that i couldn't ride a pony anyway. could that be true? if so, isn't that the story of my life. be sorry that i may be too tall to ride a pony :( *and if i rode a pony and my feet touched the ground, wouldn't that just make the pony move even faster?
i think the clothing situation (request)can be arranged.and just how would we work this out with your girlfriend? could she and i compare notes? and who gets to do on dates or to the movies? would you just pick the person you weren't mad at, at the time? what if i wanted my 'scott' time, but your girlfriend did too? how would you decide who to choose? i wouldn't mind sharing really, but i think alone time with 'scott' would be very important. and also, what if i wanted alone time with your girlfriend, at the same time you did? would we just draw straws? i think that since i'm coming in a bit late, i'd feel somewhat inferior at first. i assure you though, soon i would claw my way to the head of the household. but, while i'm sharpening those claws, how would you prevent me from feeling inferior, since i am entering a bit later than you and your girlfriend, so the power structure would be a bit skewed, no?
you'll help build the stable for the pony? that's very sweet, but if i found someone to build it for us, to help with the cost, would you at least pay for half of a pony?
and if i wanted to play in your bed, while you were asleep but not invite you, you'd ask me to leave? i'd feel rejected from that one dear. what if i invited you (knowing you wouldn't want to join in anyway)? then, would you leave? if we share everything, doesn't that include the bed? and what if yours is the only one that doesn't squeak?
i find this arrangement to be very fascinating. and i really like the way you won't budge on certain things and issues. but, you should be up for negotiation for other matters. selling children, no! pony, possibly! moving out of bed so i can have it, YES!!! i'll reread your post and start fresh again tomorrow (or today?). in the meantime, coudl you give me jon's number. at least until we work out the minor details?
