21.2 What makes you happy/laugh?

[cloned]

I'm happy that Bart's moved in with me. I missed him. And he wasn't taking care of himself. I don't care how grown up he is now, I'm glad he's somewhere where I can keep an eye on him. I mean, sure he can take care of himself, but how do I know that he will? He was living in a motel when I found him! A frigging motel! And I still can't shake the feeling that if I leave him alone for a minute, or blink or anything, he'll run away. He's gotta stop worrying that we like him. When is he gonna realize that we all love him and we want him around and I wouldn't have invited him to freaking live with me if I didn't!

Still, it's pretty cool sharing a house with your best friend. Maybe we can convince Tim to move in with us too. That would be sweet.

Steph makes me laugh. How did I not hang out with her back before I died? She's so much fun! I mean, she's kinda like Tim, only hotter. And not nearly as weird. And less likely to become an evil scientist. (No offense, Tim.)

Man, I cannot see how Tim let her go. I mean, I love Cissie. She's one of my best friends, and she and Tim are apparently doing absolutely great.

But man, Steph.

1) I am not living with you and Bart. Not until you both move to Gotham, and maybe not even then, because I've seen your housekeeping, and I can't live like that.

2) I am significantly hotter than Stephanie. Even if I am likely to become an evil scientist, or possibly a dictator-psychopath. I'm a hot person.

3) I am incredibly in love with Cissie, and we'll probably have to throw down if you try to tell me Steph is awesomer. Maybe to you, but--honestly?--not to me.

4) It's very complicated, and maybe I'll tell you sometime. Maybe.

1) Hey, I'm improving! And Gotham? Are you kidding? First of all, we don't have a house there, and we do have a house here. Second of all, Gotham? When there's Hawaii?

2) Sorry, man. Girls are hotter than guys. Fact of life.

3) I didn't say awesomer! They're both awesome! And awesomer isn't a word. Are you sure this is Tim? But really, they're both my friends and I wouldn't say either one is more awesome unless only one of them was around and she was angry at me.

4) Right. Because you're always one to talk about private stuff.

[mrsarcastic003]

1) Improving is good. We'll have to see. And I have a house here--and no, I'm not talking about the one I live in. Which doesn't exactly qualify as a "house."

2) That's a matter of opinion. Cissie tells me she disagrees. ::grin::

3) Since when do you complain when I use made-up words? I thought I was supposed to be behaving more like a "real boy" anyway!

4) I... yeah. I guess I'm not great with that. Sorry.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

1) It's still Gotham, which has nothing on Hawaii.

2) ...aw, man! Now I'm gonna be imagining if Cissie thought girls were hotter for the rest of the night. Which, okay, not exactly bad images. Still.

3) You just don't usually do it! And I don't think you could act like a "real boy" if your life depended on it.

4) It's okay. But you could open up to me every once in a while. I wouldn't let you down.

[mrsarcastic003]

1) Speak for yourself. I like it here. ...Though Hawaii is nice, yes. And it doesn't get cold there unless you head up to Mauna Kea or something, which is a definite benefit.

2) Fantasizing about my girlfriend may also eanrn you a beat-down. ::mock-glower::

3) Dude, I survive high school five days a week pretending to be a "real boy." I think I manage.

4) I know you wouldn't. As lame as it sounds--it's not you, it's me.

OOC: Out of curiosity, can Cissie see this? ;)

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

OOC: Sure, why not? It's not locked, after all.

[cisskabob.livejournal.com]

OOC: Hahaha, now the question is how much I want to upset her. ;)

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

OOC: XD Kon would like to suggest that "not at all" would be a good amount?

[cisskabob.livejournal.com]

OOC: Cissie points out that Steph is stalking her (http://cisskabob.livejournal.com/3492.html) and calling her a menace to society (http://itseggplant.livejournal.com/1733.html). Cissie's mun points out that Cissie is completely irrational when it comes to Steph. (Though, possibly not without reason?) ;)

[itseggplant.livejournal.com]

I don't know how he let me go either.

I think you're way hotter than Tim is!

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Ah well, his lost.

Hey, thanks. *grin*

[itseggplant.livejournal.com]

Well, it's totally true!

You make me happy too, you know. Not that I'm sappy or anything.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Well, not going to argue that!

Not at all. Just nice to have another friend, right? Who can sympathize with me on the having been "dead" thing.

[itseggplant.livejournal.com]

Totally.

Friends. Right.

[cisskabob.livejournal.com]

I'm glad Bart's living with you--I've been worried about him. Just try to eat some vegetables every once in a while.

And--yeah. Love you too, Kon.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Ah, vegetables! I knew there was something I was forgetting. Do ramen noodles count?

Hey, the house-sharing invitation extends to you too. Or even visiting or whatever.

[cisskabob.livejournal.com]

Ramen's not food. Besides, they're noodles, so ew. They have these handy bags of frozen vegetables that you can microwave *in* the bag. Individual servings, even--get some, and then you don't even have to worry about cleaning or prepping or using the stove.

And thanks. Maybe I'll visit. Just--forgive me if I decline if your new girlfriend is there. But since she's so much fun, you probably won't miss me anyway.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Wait, what?

Aww, geeze, Cissie. I'm not dating Steph, and I would totally miss you. We're just friends.

Look, I know you don't like her, but can't I be friends with both of you?

[cisskabob.livejournal.com]

I'm not saying you can't be friends with her. I want you to be happy, and if she makes you happy--great.

It's just--whatever. Nevermind.

[sofasterthanyou.livejournal.com]

Oh, Kon. I lurve you too. *smoochy smooches*

Teasing aside, thanks. I appreciate it. A lot. And yeah! Tim should totally move in with us. God knows I can use having him around to dilute your presence. (This is not the time for a TTK joke. So don't even think about it.)

Also, I'm totally staying away from the Cissie/Steph can of worms. I'd like to keep my hide, thanks. And my friendship with both of them.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're hilarious.

Hey, it is always time for a TTK joke.

...I'm thinking you've got the right idea there. Cissie's pissed at me now. I didn't even do anything!

[sofasterthanyou.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you think so. Because I certainly do.

No, it is not. Trust me. Just as it is hardly ever the time for a rock joke. No one thinks those are funny.

I'm not going to say that girls are crazy, but sometimes girls are crazy. I'd just avoid the subject from now on if I were you. Avoid it like the plague. If you were at all susceptible to the plague. Are you? I wouldn't think so, but pretty much no one has the plague anymore, so it'd be hard to test. Not that I'd want to, I like you healthy and kicking and all that jazz, so trying to infect you with deadly diseases would probably be a bad way to go about things.

...Yeah. I'll shut up now.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Rock jokes?

Well, the girls are crazy thing, I entirely understand and agree with. We need a guidebook.

[sofasterthanyou.livejournal.com]

Rock jokes! You know, jokes about rocks? People take them for granite sometimes, but they're totally the schist.

Conner was a Geological Sciences major. He seemed to have gotten your sense of humor along with your name.

Mmm, well, yes. But I didn't say it!
