Commitment: Eavesdroppings Discussed With the Omega Male

[highlyeccentric]

The Omega Male and I on tills at work today, discussing eavesdropping- the things you overhear which remind you that you are more (or less) normal than you think you are.

Says I: I was sitting out the back of Manning with my friend Tristan the other day, waiting for someone. We weren't saying much, and I was listening to the girls at the next table talk about their boyfriends. Girl One was talking about how her boyfriend wouln't commit. Girl Two cuts in and says: I used to think Bert* was like that. But then we went out the other night, and after he'd got home he rang me. And he said "I know I don't like talking about the future with you, but I want you to know that I do think about it. I think about us taking Abnormal Psych together next year!" Whereup on she sighed, and delcared, hand to breast, "I LOVE him!"

Says the Omega Male: That's it! That's the definition of Commitment! Abnormal Psych!
I'm going to write on Susie's* birthday card this week, I'm going to write: I think about taking Abnormal Psych with you...

Says I: I dunno about Commitment, but it sounds like the definition of marriage to me- Abnormal Psychology.

Says the Omega Male: haha, yes.
So I'll say to her: Susie, let's take Abnormal Psych together. Then we'll know it's for real. That will keep her satisfied- Abnormal Psych.
If only they were all that easy to please.

oh... a pun!

was it that bad? I guess I was putting all my effort into amusing the goblin.

You are a harsh critic, Miss Amy. Harsh, but probably fair.

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

no, i've been unable to recognise puns for some weeks now. dunno why.

you two. *shakes head* you're *my* flirting buddy, i don't know that i want to share!

They are the most subtle, and most powerful, of the devices. And it is kinda late :P

oh dear. I'm not, am I? I don't mean to. Flirt, that is, not be your flirting buddy (that's a given; it's in our contracts). You know I have problems with giving Flirty vibes when I mean to give Friendy vibes. :S

i know ;)

it's ok, it's not FLIRT! it's more like BANTER (flirt). anyway, he's doing it back and he knows it. look a bit further down the entry, i said as much to him :P

I am still mystified as to where my (flirt)ing was, let alone his, but I shall take your word for it, Miss Amy. You are more experienced in these fields than I.

*snicker*

Meh. It's too hard to go back through it all, now that there're so many comments they're being reduced to Time Stamp lines.
