Brandus is sick. Brandus is tired.
Which means the urge to smother him with a pillow is becoming stronger.
I love him. He knows this, I know this, you know this.
But he is obnoxious when he doesnt feel well.
He talks constantly. Not just “Im dying,” which doesnt bother me, cause everyone gets to whine when they are sick, but constant, completely RANDOM things. all the time. regardless of the fact that A)whatever he said wasnt funny, B)made no sense, or C) alia is trying to get some work done.
the main problem is that he expects me to respond to all of it. lets see an example from last night, shall we?
brandus: hey.
alia: *concentrating on typing*
brandus: hey
alia: yeah, baby?
brandus: i heard this story about alex trebeck.
alia: umm. ok?
brandus: no, really, this is funny. so alex trebeck..are you listening?
alia: yeah. yeah, im listening. *typing, keeping an ear open*
brandus: i dont think you are.
alia: *abandons typing. turns to face him* ok, full attention. alex trebeck?
brandus: *proceeds to tell random story about alex trebeck, drinking, SNL, something*
alia: *stares blankly*
brandus: *blinks, looks puzzled by alia’s lack of amusement* he had to phrase it in the form of a question.
alia: *still confused*
brandus: they were talking about alex trebeck on tv and it made me think of it
alia: umm..no they werent.
brandus: they werent?
alia: no.
brandus: the game show? SNL?
alia: none of those have been mentioned on the tv in the last hour or so.
brandus: but dont you see why its funny?
alia: um..sure, sweetie. it was a good story.
brandus: *grins*
alia: *typing*
all is quiet for about 1 minute.
brandus: hey.
alia:*…*
brandus: hey.
alia: yes?
brandus: so do you want to watch Jepordy?
alia: its not on right now.
brandus: its not?
alia: no.
brandus: why? because alex treback is in jail?
alia: what? i dont know. because it doenst come on right now.
and on and on and on and on.
