[EM] 22 - Truth... and Freedom

[orbs]

Oh what a confusing wicked web the truth can weave. You would think that such a simple word that is supposed to bring this feeling of relief, and maybe even some inner peace would actually be able to MESS EVERYTHING UP!!

See the truth isn't quite as easy for me as it is to all of you people. Yeah you people, the ones with the normal lives and the lack of actual thought beyond the whole, "Oh Magic is a nice story and a way to make a pumpkin into a stagecoach that is all pretty and white!" See for all of them the truth is just something they learn, and then deal with. It's how your son or daughter failed algebra even though you paid for that tutor... it's the teeny white lie that you told about actually paying for the bottle of water as you roamed the grocery store. See those things? Easy. You expose the lie, tell the truth and Phew! You feel a whole lot better.

Oh but for me? Well.. for me and my sisters even? The truth is ugly. It makes guys faint, run away, stop calling, stop coming by... stop saying hi... It makes the guys basically stop. Everything.

Of course there are ways around it, because you could go and try to get their honest reaction to something... you know just to test the waters? Well then the truth turns out to be how the guy is already married, and how much his wife would just love all the stuff you are telling him about.

See the truth? Sucks. It hurts and it confuses and generally? Doesn't set anything free.

Now going without a bra for a weekend? That is freeing.

Trust me.

Hey I have talents. They are not many, but what I have? I flaunt.

[neverhit-onyou.livejournal.com]

That you do.

But, for future reference, if you're going to flaunt them in my clothes, please bring them back in one, cohesive piece.

[orbs]

Hmmm.. cohesive clothing. Check.

That means I need to remember to take it off first. Which just doesn't seem like so much fun as the clothing being *taken* off of me.

[neverhit-onyou.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, disrobing is more fun when another party is involved.

For some reason, the 40 Year Old Virgin comes to mind.

"Masturbation..."
"Playing with yourself."
"Mututal masturbation..."
"Playing with a friend."

We should make Leo watch the boys and you, me, and Piper have a movie night sometime soon. I miss doing that. We should do horrible, cheesy slasher flicks.

[orbs]

Wow. I think you need some punctuation there... or some not odd phrases capped off with having Leo watch the boys and you and me and Piper.

It's... wrong Phoebe. Wrong.

I actually hated that movie. I might be the only person that didn't like it.

[neverhit-onyou.livejournal.com]

Hahahahahaha, WHOOPS. My train of thought seems to have skipped past a few stops.

I liked it. It's not really a movie I'd watch more than a few times, but it has it's funny points. Man-o-lantern, for example.

[orbs]

No problem, it's something I've learned to sort out over the years of emails from you while you're at work.

Yeah see that joke? I don't get it because? I stopped watching the movie about 10 minutes in.

[neverhit-onyou.livejournal.com]

Well, Paige, I just might subject you to it, Clockwork Orange Alex being brainwashed style.

And if you haven't seen that movie, then we MUST have a movie night in the near future. I must pass these things on.

[orbs]

Can I get a pass on that? Really I already have issues with dry eye and redness. That could be bad for me.

Besides I wouldn't mind movie night, but being subjected to that? Not fair.

[neverhit-onyou.livejournal.com]

As long as you're a willing participant and you watch the movies, then I'll bypass the Alex treatment.

Now, we just have to con Leo into taking the kids to Chuck E Cheeses or something, then we can have a night in, just the three of us.
