Waking up on the stairs not remembering if you were coming home or going out: Signs of a good night or bad night?

I swear to God I talked to a bear.

Did you ID the bear, too? [Sigh.] You can expect not to know whether you're talking to the cat or the queen of Sheba at least one weekend a month. That's novel to you, which means you're not just wasted, you're new.

Yeah I did, I didn't dream that up, thanks.

Goin' on five weeks, actually. Why's it a weekend?

[chasingskirt.livejournal.com]

New enough. I don't know the whys of any of it. But the rest of the time the brand of insanity tends to be collective.

[orangetoughguy]

Is that like sayin' it's all in our heads or somethin'?

[PS. He's digging that accent.]

[chasingskirt.livejournal.com]

Not unless you've been on something harder than the cocktails.

[It will still be there tomorrow.]

[orangetoughguy]

Naw I'm pretty clean, I like to keep it that way.

Then I reckon you're good for it. [Because he's not getting into any actual theories on that just now.] I meant usually the curses are predictable in that they hit everyone the same way. Except roughly one weekend a month.

I get it. People losin' their heads all over the place, that's normal. People turning into animals or vampires and dirty laundry hangin' out, that's a wildcard weekend. Sounds like roulette only you don't get to roll a thing.

The house always wins. [That's an agreement.] If it was all in your head you'd have to really get off on kicking yourself while you were down.

audio ][

[orangetoughguy]

You've thought about this a lot.

audio ][

[chasingskirt.livejournal.com]

I've been here a while.

audio ][

[orangetoughguy]

How long's a while?

audio ][

[chasingskirt.livejournal.com]

One year, five months.

audio ][

[orangetoughguy]

Just as long as that other guy. Never got his name though. What's yours?

audio ][

[chasingskirt.livejournal.com]

Introductions go backwards here all the time.

[Ponder, ponder.]

Chase. Yours?

audio ][

[orangetoughguy]

Backwards?

When someone's turning into an animal or vampire you don't go in with formalities.

audio ][

[orangetoughguy]

I got it from your own mouth though that ain't your problem.

audio ][

[chasingskirt.livejournal.com]

Not my problem, you're the one who's been playing Goldilocks.

audio ][

[orangetoughguy]

I haven't tried anyone's dinner yet, unless that's an invitation.

[chasingskirt.livejournal.com]

It's not.

audio ][

[chasingskirt.livejournal.com]

What was your name?

audio ][

[orangetoughguy]

I think you christened me Goldilocks.

audio ][

[chasingskirt.livejournal.com]

I'm not cutesy enough to use it regularly.

Robert?
