Troper Updates II, Part II

Go To

In which we get updates from the lives of tropers. Kinda like Twitter with more than 140 characters, but less than a blog or LJ.

Please refrain from excess venting in this thread. Talking about negative emotions is fine but it's best not to dwell on them for too long. TV Tropes is not suited to deal with mental health situations.

Bobby - ...I'm not sure what to say. Uh...Well, I'm glad you don't have to worry about him anymore, and that it's all done.

Awwwwww, Bobby has feelings...:P

Stupid jokes aside, gald that went well.

It's not exactly naive. And it can happen. But it's tough. And definetly worthwhile.

And that's why you always update on changes to the plan.

And it's Holy Week already? Totally missed that.

What's the frequency Kenneth?|In case of war.

Well, that too, but in the short term I'm on the phone and wondering what to do.

Thanks Dove, Juan.

Wouldn't be so bad if he'd had his mobile on, but of course he didn't. He never does.

He's now back downstairs, actually said sorry. I think he finally registered that I was actually worried.

And now he's off for a "morning run". He is supposed to be playing guitar up at church in a few hours' time.

@Bobby: The irony ain't lost on This Troper.

Okay, so Florida in a nutshell. Picture if you will: you're at the theater. The place is full of superannuated retirees, waiting to listen to an idealized version of Frankie Valli's life (Jersey Boys, to be specific). You've got a plastic cup of Jack Daniel's in your hand. Your cousin is sitting next to you with a Glock 19 in his waistband...just in case, y'know.

And if that's not enough, the Barrett .50 in his trunk should be able to pick up the slack.

Second example: You go out with your nice 50-something aunt. She wants to take you out so she can get to know you better. And what better way to accomplish this feat than to buy twenty-odd shots of tequila and pour half of them into herself while attempting to make out with college boys and trying to get you to prong a leather-faced barhag who's singing Bon Jovi on the karaoke machine.

Yeah, Florida's a nutty place. I'm glad to be home...sort of.

I find it ironic how as soon as the Ugly Bastard logs off, I see a post from you.

Discussed upgrading our internet service with my mother again today. Got the same "We'll have to wait until [month] to do it." deal I usually get. I hope we'll actually go through with it this time, because everything's so slow right now.

I think I'll go to bed now.

Thankfully, I've got something better than dialup, but it's not as good as we could have.

Okay, bedtime now, FO' REALS.

@ Drunk: Both these stories actually happened, yes?

I am very much aware of the irony. The irony mainly being that I put him through the exact same thing multiple times in the past three years.

@ Zyxzy: He handles his drink remarkably well, so by the time church starts he'll probably be sufficiently normal to get away with it. This only serves to further infuriate me.

@Bobby: you better believe it. Both were somewhat disconcerting. My cousin is a gun dealer (relax, he has his FFL) and my aunt is a raging alcoholic (which I didn't know until about oh, four nights ago).

@Leradny: Irony can be so delicious, no?

...OK, one last thought before I go to sleep for realsies.

Where the FUCK is AHR when you need her?

And now, goodnight.

I'm in your fanfiction, correcting your spelling.
