Collected conversations

[elaby]

I <3 my friends.

These conversations were had over several days, and I've only just now gotten to compile them.

I: Friday
caitirin, hak42, and I went to Panera to crochet and write one Friday. Since I was writing, I heard a lot of amusing things out of context.

caitirin: But I have a big head. Maybe I'll be okay.

hak42: Good, I have a purpose. I don't, however, have a porpoise.
elaby: *cracks up*
hak42: I'm glad you actually laughed at that.

caitirin: *discussing Harry Potter crochet challenge in which you crochet something to do with your patronus* I think my patronus would be a housecat, but I don't know what I'm going to make. I was thinking of a hat, but I don't want a kitty hat.
hak42: You don't want a kitty hat? I want a kitty hat! You should make me a kitty hat.
caitirin: For my patronus? *introducing gesture* This is hak42, my patronus!

caitirin: Oooh, it's a pretty purple thiiing! I want it! ... I can't have it.

II: Tuesday
caitirin, _melisande_, her sister M and her cousin J and I all congregated at Starbucks to write, and it turned out to be another of those nights.

caitirin: I only vaguely believe in socks.

M: Listen to this frosting!

M, somewhat later: Can we get back to me now?

III: Friday
On another Friday, caitirin, hak42, and I sat around crocheting and writing while jadefox_32, torack, and merrick42 played games.

hak42: I have coupons out the wazoo. I don't know why I keep coupons in my wazoo, but...
elaby: *dies dead, head on table*
hak42: Oh, I broke elaby.

IV: Saturday
caitirin, hak42, and I went to a Community Supported Agriculture fair and then wandered around Portsmouth. On the way back from lunch, we passed a sign that advertised palm readings. It was hanging over a narrow doorway, and we looked in as we went by - it opened onto steep, dark stairs covered by an oriental carpet.

*simultaneously*
elaby: That looks neat!
hak42: That looks freaky.
*group hilarity*
