I Didn't Mean to Write a Novel...
I had a nice weekend.
Friday we ended up not going out to dinner, we just grabbed some Japanese food at Fry's and had a picnic in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
husband_brother's room. We watched some TV, smoked and drank and cuddled and had Epic Fanon Discussions - she's an Avatar: The Last Airbender fan, too! - and just relaxed. We didn't get to bed until around 1:30 in the morning, and by that time we were so out of it and exhausted that we weren't even making sense.
At one point, I did end up alone chatting with her mother for a bit. That was kind of awkward, but also nice. Her mom assured me that she liked me, and she was excited and enthusiastic about this move, and thinks we're going to do wonderfully together. So that made me feel good, because...well...this woman is going to be my mother-in-law.
Yeah, I guess it's about time I fess up that I'm basically engaged. :D We never had anything official, just an adorable little discussion where it kind of came up. We both were just assuming, and even though we assumed right, it was still adorable.
Anyway, Saturday morning we did a drive by of that house. It turns out that she is very familiar with it! As is her whole family! And it's not too far from either her current place or my current place, which is awesome. We went out with her sister and her sister's boy (who really need official nicknames) for a nature walk through these gorgeous rock formations and hung out in nature for a bit. Then we spent the rest of the day watching TV, RPing, playing with henna and just plain relaxing and enjoying one another's companionship. I'm terribly excite about RP stuff.
My poor royal woobie has finally accepted the fact that he has to get married - which I realize has terrible timing. He hasn't talked to Tristan since the night before, when he drunkenly attempted to seduce the guy. And was rejected. (He just assumes it's because Tris isn't into other men, when in reality it's just that Tris loves him too much to risk the fallout that would come from a) the difference in their stations and b) where they are, Respectable People Don't Do That.) And now he gets to inform the one person he loves above all others that he's moving forward with the whole marriage thing. Which will pretty much be a 'well, even that one in a billion chance that we could have something is gone now' to Tristan. Gah, it's heartbreaking. They're so in love, and have been since they were teenagers, but they've both been keeping it secret because of So Many Issues. Age difference, class difference, religious issues, intimacy issues, social issues... And the sad thing is, they so could have had a chance, but The Big Bad got there first and that was that.
Okay, something awesome has to happen to this poor guy, because there is such epic suck surrounding him it makes me sad. I mean, he is going to get to marry freaking Princess Zelda, but I don't know if that's quite good enough to make up for all the other epic, terrible crap we're going to do to him. Even marrying Zelda (despite the fact that honestly, she's a really good match for him) isn't going to be that great since he's not really into women that much - they make him nervous and he has Intimacy Issues due to being taken advantage of when he was younger - and now he's going to be king of a whole freaking world and that's a lot of pressure, plus it's going to draw Ganondorf's eye to him.
We ended up making an epic flow chart of character connections. On a white board. With different colored sharpies. It was awesome. (Though kind of sad, when one looks at the pathetic little dashed line linking Half-a-Shirt and Crazypants.) Which is another issue that will need dealing with. My poor girl! I swear, she's just going to bind him to a chair and announce 'listen! We're going to work this out and we're going to use our words!'. Whether or not she'll confess to a drunken one-night stand, I still don't know. She doesn't like keeping secrets, and it's not like she tried to hide the fact that she spent the entire gala with Mat, or left with him, so she really isn't sure what the etiquette here is. I'm kind of hoping maybe the coming Doom will be the kick in the pants those two need to get it together and work out their issues. Because honestly? The only real 'problem' is that they're on two different pages. Well...more like two different chapters at this point, and they suck at communication. And I suppose now Mat's officially a problem, but there's always the chance that '...did you even notice I spent the whole night drinking and went home with another man?' could really highlight that There Is a Problem.
But we aren't just heartless bastards who do terrible things to the ones we love! We sent the kidlets to go get lost in the Lost Woods to ensure they will never know of the Doom. Because while we'll break adults (and Shineybottom), we will not break the kids. Even though they're teenagers, no Doom for them.
It's vastly amusing to me that currently the most functional, rational, capable person in this whole epic fusion is one who has only a passing acquaintance with sobriety. (This will change once Doom starts, of course.)
We had planned to watch a movie and camp out in the shed Saturday night, but by six o'clock we were both so exhausted and achey that we decided it would be best just to get caught up on sleep - especially as she went back to work on Sunday. I know I was out of it by eight.
Next week, she has almost the whole week off. :D
In other news, my sleep schedule's fucked due to the heat and ailments. I didn't get much last night, but at least I was up to catch The Revenge Society! And I got some writing done - I now have multi-chapter fic up at ff.n! - and I did sleep in a bit this morning. It was already too hot for me to be able to eat, but I'm hoping that tomorrow I'll get my allotment and be able to get some green herb to manage it.
My room is being eaten by boxes.
