the watchtower, my dreams
My favorite part of the morning is probably his least favorite. I am still sleeping, and he sits at the foot of the bed to put on his socks. It's his good morning of sorts, his "Will you be getting up now, or sleeping in today?" and my chance to crawl over and kiss him goodbye. The reason I think it's his least favorite is because I am in such a sleeplogged state that I say all kinds of offensive / inexplicable / boring things that are probably best kept to myself, but I don't know they are offensive, inexplicable, or boring till I realize that he only gave me one hurried kiss goodbye instead of the usual two or three.
Recent examples:
- You look like one of those Jehovah's Witnesses that hawks Watchtower Magazine from door-to-door. (Though he did not take it as one, I meant it as a compliment. You're just gonna have to trust me.)
- Let's go to Zoo After Dark today. And walk all around the zoo, and see the Komodo Dragons. Okay? And listen to Melveen Leed. And the Komodo Dragons. Okay? I love Melveen Leed. Okay?
- I dreamed that the school I used to work at got a bird with a really long, fancy blue tail. It was the library's new pet. But the librarian was my school's librarian. I mean, my new school's librarian, like they stole her or she defected or something. Anyway, the tail of this bird - gee, what kind of bird was it? It was a bird that usually doesn't have such a long, fancy tail -
Conure?, he suggested, pulling on his first sock.
No, more like a -
Macaw?, pulling on the second sock.
No, those do have long fancy tails -
Cockatiel?
Parakeet! It was a parakeet with a long, fancy blue tail. With spangles and everything. And then Ken Momochi was like, "Why are you taking so long trying to figure out what kind of bird that is? It is obviously a Spaghetti Raptor, now please excuse me, I need to check out this dictionary!" And for some reason, they now allow people to check out reference materials. Isn't that FANTASTIC? Well, in my dream it was fantastic anyway ...
Maybe I should start talking to the dog in the a.m. instead.
Heigh ho, heigh ho - it's off to work I go. >:P

you compared him to a jw? how is he supposed to take it? c'mon. that's like calling you ugly but meaning that you've got a great personality. i'm sure girls like that compliment too, i've used it several times at bars.
no, you totally don't understand. he was wearing a short-sleeved, lightly striped white shirt, slacks, and a backpack. i meant like a HOT jw. guess i should have said the HOT part. i was sleepy.
no. i can see your point. but if you don't say it, he can't read your mind. say what you mean and mean what you say.
i guess some things do require clarification. like if i told someone they looked like david beckham (but meant that they looked like david beckham if he stopped showering and gained a hundred and fifty pounds.)
so you think i look like david beckham if he stopped showering and gained 150lbs. sweet.
yes. basically, because you compared him to something that isn't normally associated with hotness. you know, like haggis.
zeb, you're hot like haggis.
