Friends Only

[hereprophetslie]

tonight i did a radio broadcast with my girlfriend and it was wonderful. we got to rage and speak out and express ourselves and prove our voices have not been silenced. it felt wonderful.

and then i ate dinner with peter kemp and i think i consumed my own weight in spag bog. i have so much more energy strangely enough. i feel so much better. food is amazing. i love it. i have eaten 5 times today and i want more. oh oh! someone bring me pie!!

Will hospital cafetaria pie do? I know a guy who can hook me up!

I'm so buzzed!

anything! i can eat, daria! i can eat! i am so fucking happy about it i can't fully express it...

me too!

[thatoldgeek.livejournal.com]

I'm incredibly proud of you.

[hereprophetslie.livejournal.com]

thanks, dad!

and i didn't even have to spit out any of the food today. i think half of it went in my napkin yesterday.

which you so wanted to know, because who doesn't want to hear about half-masticated food goo.

i feel so much better. food also makes less paranoid...

[thatoldgeek.livejournal.com]

I had to deal with more half-masticated food goo than you can comprehend when you and Andy were toddlers. Once you've been a parent it's difficult to be too 'grossed out' by those things any more. I'm just thrilled you're eating.

i did like showing andy my half-chewed food in order to make her cry, didn't i? wow, i'm an amazing big brother...

i'm pretty thrilled myself. it was pretty hard going there for a while...

I think one day, with enough therapy, she'll learn to forgive you for that.

Seeing you getting better each day is the best thing in the world.

i was showing her my seamen. ....like chewed up men at sea... ...seriously, it's a joke...oh god, nevermind...

thank you for being here so often so i don't get the crazy. i just want to come home now.

...where the hell am i going to sleep. are you going to bunk me in the living room like a display!? here is my currently disabled son. pity him, he can't walk.

[thatoldgeek.livejournal.com]

Years of therapy, Noah, and I'm not paying for it.

And I want you home now too, but we have to wait for the doctors to give it the go ahead. I'd prefer you there where you can be nurses to health properly.

I've talked to Andy about switching bedrooms with you. She sounds pretty thrilled about it actually. (I'm still charging entry for people to see my freak son though. What a moneymaker!)

[hereprophetslie.livejournal.com]

it was a 'seafood' joke, but see i didn't understand because i was young so I started off with this elaborate story about these seamen who got eaten by an octopus and would you like to see what happened... it wasn't until years later when i realised what i'd been saying...

i know. i'm just restless is all. but hey, if i came home now, you'd have to give me the spongebaths and i love you and everything, but no thanks, dad...

you could put up a website with streaming video too!! (she's really okay with that?)

[thatoldgeek.livejournal.com]

I have vague recollections of this, yes. I have strong memories of your mother and I trying not to laugh our heads off because our children were saying the word 'semen'. Adults are so immature.

Yes, leave that to the attractive nurses.

I believe her exact words were "OMG I GET THE BALCONY!!" so, yes. I think she might be.

[hereprophetslie.livejournal.com]

i have a feeling we gave you a lot of laughter material...

hah! oh andy. she would indeed get the balcony. ...dad? uhm...make sure she doesn't look under the mattress...or in my bedside cabinet. things you don't think about when you're young and you think you're invincible. if i get hospitalised, will my little sister find my pornography when we switch rooms?

[thatoldgeek.livejournal.com]

Ah, I shall shield her innocent eyes and put it all away somewhere for you. Shall I tsk tsk you on the evils of pornography or will I leave that to your mum?

(Don't worry, I'll never tell Emily.)

[hereprophetslie.livejournal.com]

OH DEAR GOD THANK YOU

it took me forever to figure out how to do all caps on this thing. do not tell mum. i even really agree with her, and the stuff i have is fetish models and that, but i don't think she'd see the difference.

and now i will stop talking about porn...

[thatoldgeek.livejournal.com]

Excuses, excuses, all over a little masturbation.

(I do hope your blushing right now. You're adorable when you blush.)

[hereprophetslie.livejournal.com]

little!! i say now.

i never blush!!

(damn you, father! damn yoouuuu!)

[thatoldgeek.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've still got it.

[hereprophetslie.livejournal.com]

you're a terror!
