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.

I knew I should have moved in with Tim. Even if it meant avoiding Bruce all the time.

Agh. You are so childish sometimes. I can't make new friends?

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

New hot, Mexican friends? Sure, be my guest. Does he have a sister?

Now, come on. Tim would never have stuffed Ramen noodles down your pants.

[sofasterthanyou.livejournal.com]

Shut up! Jeez! Just because you can't get your head out of the gutter doesn't mean that everything I do has to be colored by sexual innuendo.

Yes. That's kind of the point.

Also, Jaime's sister is eight. So no, you can't "be friends" with her.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

You'd be bored with Tim. Five minutes in with him you'd wonder why you ever left me. He'd just brood all day.

It totally does.

How about a friend? A hot, single MILF?

[sofasterthanyou.livejournal.com]

At least he wouldn't stuff soggy noodles down my pants.

I still haven't forgiven you for that. Just thought you should know.

No! God. Kon. Please. Go find someone else to bother. I have to find some clothes that fit me.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

I told you I'd take you shopping, idiot.

Exactly! Boring! Plus, he'd probably want to train every five minutes. And never hug you or anything.

[sofasterthanyou.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but you didn't and now I have to go to Texas in your stupid too-big clothes. I hate being small again.

Perhaps not. But you don't hug me either! You shove food down my pants! What kind of friend does that?

And no, it's not "the awesome kind".

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Ha! I knew you were going on a date! You can borrow money, go get something that doesn't make you look like a total dork.

I do so hug you!

The totally amazing kind?

[sofasterthanyou.livejournal.com]

It's not a date!

...Maybe. Wait, no, it's not! God. Stop saying that. I can't date him, I've never met him before! I don't date people I don't know, Kon. Not everyone's like you. Stop saying shit like that, you're confusing me.

Also, thanks for that vote of confidence. You're a good friend. *sarcasm*

But then you shove food down my pants! Not a winning strategy, Kon.

No, not that kind either.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

It so is. You're gonna run off with him after you leave Tim and Cissie. Am I right?

Ha, you know it. *not sarcasm*

It is pants-stuffing of love. Do you know how many girls would kill to have me stuff something down their pants? Of course, noodles wouldn't be the something they'd want...*smirk*

Oh, I got it, a sexy friend.

[sofasterthanyou.livejournal.com]

That. Was. A joke. You know what? Never mind. You're just saying stuff like that to rile me up. I won't play your game.

Ugh. I don't want to know about that. Keep your dirty stories to yourself. Or at least until I stop being mad at you.

You? Are so, so childish. You'd get along spiffingly with my sons at age fourteen. *rolls eyes*

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Ha. You've become as fun to tease as Tim.

By the way, what did you do with my pants?

[sofasterthanyou.livejournal.com]

I still hate you, you know. *pouts*

Which ones?

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

The ones you were wearing before you left!

Why are you online when you should be hanging out with Jaime?

[sofasterthanyou.livejournal.com]

I haven't left yet, moron! I'm still looking for that money cache you promised me.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

I want them back when you're done with them!

[sofasterthanyou.livejournal.com]

...Oh. Um, I donated them to Goodwill? That's good, right? Like, you can't get mad at me for helping out a charity, right?

Also, where the frick are you? I've looked through the whole house.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Loser. You owe me pants. Which'll be hard since you don't seem to be able to get pants for yourself even.

Did you check the kitchen table where I so nicely put a note?

[sofasterthanyou.livejournal.com]

Not a loser! I'm helping those less fortunate. So there. *sticks out tongue*

Also, I do too have pants! I bought some and they fit very nicely. Make my ass look great.

Oh. Umm, no, I didn't. But now that you mention it, I'm going to go get groceries. There's no food left in this house.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Probably because you ate it all.

My ass looks great even without pants. Especially without pants.

Anyway, I'm at Cissie's. I'll be back at some point.

[sofasterthanyou.livejournal.com]

I did not eat all the less-fortunate, Kon, that would be cannibalism. And that's frowned upon in polite society.

You're modest like a bomb is subtle, do you know that? It's ridiculous.

Also, runner? My ass always looks awesome. These jeans just accentuate the fact.

Alright. Well, I'm going to go get some food now, so I'll probably see you around.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

...that doesn't even make sense, freak.

Hell, yeah. I'm the most modest person around!

My ass is Super. Just because you like to Flash people doesn't mean you can measure up.

Sure, probably.

[sofasterthanyou.livejournal.com]

You asked me if I ate all of them! And then I replied that no, I didn't eat the less fortunate. Duh.

...Your puns need serious work. I'm afraid Tim hasn't been the best influence on you. Perhaps you should spend more time with Nightwing. At least Dick knows how to pun properly.

Anyway, I'm back now. Hope you like steaks. Because I think I bought a whole cow. Also, lots of other things. Vegetables! They're delicious! And a couple dozen packets of noodles (not Ramen, by the way) and some other stuff. I think I might try cooking before you get home. We'll see how it works out.

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Smart ass. You know what I meant.

Doesn't change the facts! Face it, my ass is just sexier.

Cissie'll be pleased. She told me to make sure you ate vegetables. She'll make a great mother.

[sofasterthanyou.livejournal.com]

Shut up, you totally love it.

Umm, no thanks. I'm rather partial to my own.

Hah. Funny, she told me that I should make you eat more vegetables. And less Ramen. Ramen isn't food.
