Rose: can't you do some tomorrow night?
Xtina: Gaming is tomorrow night.
Xtina: I just emailed Brad to say I may not be able to make it for all of it.
Xtina: (We're drawing up characters.)
Xtina: BUT ALL THE YARN IS SEPARATED.
Xtina: "Unless you find more."  "Unless I find more."
Xtina: ...
Xtina: In the wreckage of this box, I found some more yarn.
Rose: "unless you find more."
Xtina: In my desk drawer-like thing?  Yarn.
Xtina: ::laughing helplessly::
Xtina: I'm going to undo the lamp and find yarn in it, I know it.
Rose: what else would go in a desk?
Rose: LOOK IN THE MATTRESS I'M TELLING YOU
Xtina: IT'S YARNING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE
Rose: REDYARN REDYARN REDYARN
Xtina: ::snickers and dies laughing::

Background: http://archie-blogs.archiecomics.com/archie_news/2009/05/this-august-prepare-yourself-for.html

Xtina: I always figured Archie could marry Betty (for the hot sex and building-a-life) and see Veronica on occasion (with consent, as B/V are such close friends).
Rose: and never jealous of each other!
Xtina: And Jughead would open a good diner - diner qualities, but quality food - and just enjoy himself there forever.
Xtina: He'd have the most touching eulogy for Pops, busting out with something moving and sweet and not joshingly burgers-centered at all.
Rose: can i pretend it's not [our datenight] and ignore you? *)
Xtina: Midge and Ethel would... really hit it off. Illicit affairs, until Moose finds out and gets upset about it all. Cue a deep story about sexism in Riverdale, where the guys encourage Moose to stay with Midge ("Dude, threesome!"), but Archie listens to Jughead, his wiser side, and tells Moose that, sadly, an affair is an affair.
Xtina: One story can be about speculation about whether Jughead will ever find that special someone, until he busts out with, "Can't I just run this diner, enjoy good food, spend time with my friends and my dog, and be happy? Lemme ask you this - when did you ever ask Pops about his romantic life? Let me just be like Pops." Everyone grows.
Rose: you're _so_ weird
Xtina: One can be about Dilton, future-man extraordinaire, coming to revamp Riverdale - bring it into the future, along with his business (and sometimes sexual) partner, Veronica. They try to make everything Better(tm), installing fancy new equipment at the arcade, installing computers and software at the diner, things like that. The Riverdalians accept some of it, but then realise it's changing the town too fast, and there's a backlash. In the end, some newness is integrated, and Dilton and Veronica learn patience.
Xtina: ...why am I thinking of this?
Xtina: I blame... me, sadly.
Xtina: *posts anyhow*

the_xtina:   <!-- the first person to ask for an RSS feed gets a free black hole in their junk
   ok FINE here  -->
the_xtina: <!-- oh shit bears -->
the_xtina: oO  *cracks up*
rosefox: i think every page i write from now on will include <!-- oh shit bears --> somewhere in the code
the_xtina: I must put that in at work.
rosefox: you must!
rosefox: maybe do it one page at a time
rosefox: that way, whenever something annoys you, you can fight back by adding it to another page
the_xtina: *cracks up further*
rosefox: "how was your day?" "a five on the <!-- oh shit bears --> scale"
the_xtina: Where 1 is resigned and 10 is frantic.
the_xtina: No - 8 is frantic.  10 is capslock.
rosefox: <!-- NO FOR SRS BEARS OH SHIT -->
rosefox: <!-- AND NOT THE GAY KIND -->
the_xtina: case bears:

the_xtina: *for srs dies*
the_xtina: Alas, I do not know Perl.
the_xtina: Programmers in Perl are thus DOOMED to BEARS.
rosefox: i was just trying to remember assembly code...
the_xtina: (Ruby on Bears?)
rosefox: sadly i -- hahahaha yes
the_xtina: Bearnary?
the_xtina: Visual Bearsic?
the_xtina: Argh, BRAINS.
rosefox: not brains, bears!
rosefox: you are going to post this, right?
the_xtina: Now instead of bear vs. shark, I want bear vs. Python.
the_xtina: Hells yes.

deyo: if (/*.[Bb]ears.*/) {w("Oh shit $1!")}
deyo: And the Perl compiler knows what to do in case of bears, so you dont' have to type it out.
the_xtina: *cracks up*

the_xtina: Ah!  Ruby on Rails:
case bears
  when 0
    puts "Relax."
  when 1
    puts "RUN YOU FOOL"
end

Co-worker: It doesn't sound like the chorus is singing Amadeus, but, rather, hot potatoes.
Xtina: I'm never going to not hear that, now.
Xtina: DAMN YOUR EYES

I was feeling anxy and mopey and full of potential spirals and fret, so I did what rosefox suggested, and I pinged her and asked for attention.  We got to this part.  Timestamps left in for increased funneh.

(9:49:31 PM) Xtina: "Whoa-oh!"
(9:49:52 PM) Xtina: ("Somebody's comin'!...")

(9:49:54 PM) Rose: "somebody's comin'!"
(9:50:00 PM) Rose: *grin*

(9:50:03 PM) Xtina: Today I love you for apostrophes!

(9:50:12 PM) Rose: today i love you for ellipses!

(9:50:21 PM) Xtina: Okay, that helped. :)
