Wordcount and typically weird conversation

Section 111: 856 words. 1630 total. Done. I am no longer quite so pathetic.
Section 112: 48 so far. Still going.

Whitney writes a first sentence. The page is no logner blank.
I say "48 words, that sentence."
Edison (humanx) dances and throws pretty confetti.
Edison says "Now, find the elephant."
I say "I've been staring at this blank page for at least three hours. You have no idea. --It was under the front seat of the car. I gave it to my father."
I say "And the reason I could come up with that response so quickly is that it's the complete truth."
Edison says "Oh, I figured it was something like that. My celebration was entirely non-sarcastic. I did forty years of hard time once for murdering a blank page with the power of my hate rays."
I say "I gather your forehead did not bleed obligingly."
Edison says "It turns out it's my eyes that want to do that."
I say "Hrm. I wonder if that's good enough."
I say "Is the gut doing any better?"
Edison pats it gently. "Most systems are back in the green, though demanding food one of these days."
I say "Is its attempted mutiny explained?"
I say "Were you sick? Did you consume insurgent tuna fish?"
Edison says "No idea. I'm thinking probably cancer, or maybe leprosy."
I say "Well, get plenty of fluids."

Also, got a huge number of MP3s teinedreugan's ripped off our CD collection transferred over to my machine. Like, over a gig. Including what I'm listening to now, which I don't think I've heard for years.

Had that moment of freak-out crisis realisation that my flight to Cali's in about twenty-four hours and I have no clues. I at least have a little clean underwear due to laundry today. Must check for sufficiency, pack, stop going "Agh!"

Have a good trip!

You'll have fun :).

Kinda wish I could be there, but only so much money (credit) and vacation time in my life. . .

We'll be there at the same time! Good luck.

Which bits will you be in?

I'm heading out to the SF Bay Area to visit brooksmoses and suzimoses and attend PantheaCon.

I'm going to the SF Bay Area also, to visit Eric. We'll be staying perhaps a little too near the airport, and going about to Antioch (his dad lives there) and Berkeley and Oakland and, we hope, north up the coast. We have wimped out on trying to arrange a social life, other than honoring some of his family obligations. I don't think we have really got the knack of socializing as a couple yet.

It's a tricky skill, I think. (Being a couple also a tricky skill.)
