... but everything has been so ick lately that maybe folks could use something good? Or at least cute? Any way, I was flying around this afternoon and I saw Sooraya and David having a romantic picnic by the lake! And they've been having lunches together a lot. Is there romance in the air?

Who knows? But if there is, hooray for them! Aren't old people cute when they date?

Your eye in the sky,

Nica.

Awww, I love that today is nice enough for a good lakeside picnic! That bodes well for being able to grill for dinner tonight.

They might be dating or they might be working on something, haven't they known each other a long time? Anyways, I'm always up for Sooraya being happy. She works hard and does a lot, I'm glad she remembers to have downtime too.

(Are you what Boris kept getting distracted by on his earlier walk? I didn't go all the way to the lake, but we ran about halfway there and then played fetch most of the way back.)

Yeah, that was probably me, sorry about that. Can dogs see UV? Maybe if I try that next time I won't bother him, since I don't think light makes any noise...

I meeeeeaaaan, he did make her dinner. And a picnic by the lake does sound pretty fun.

Old people are old people but good for them. They’re both unproblematic enough that I actually want good things for them.

WAIT WAIT HE MADE HER DINNER?!

Maybe they are dating. We frown aggressively at this guy if he hurts her feelings, right? Because Sooraya is awesome.

They HAVE to be dating! Guys don't make dinner for a girl unless they're trying to impress them, right? I mean, that's what movies and television and books and ALL THE MEDIA tell us!

And definitely frowning if he hurts her feelings. Maybe more. Because I don't know if Sooraya has dated much before since she's all work all the time, but she deserves something nice and if he's an asshole he'd better look out.

See, I don't get it either, but I'm not about to ew at two consenting adults finding happiness in each other, whatever the shape their bits are. Like I said, after all the shit going on in the journals lately, it's nice to share something kind of sweet and it's not like they were going at it on the lawn like a couple of rabbits. Because that would have been EW.

I was joking XD I wasn't kidding when I said it was cute. I think it was an internet meme or something?

Oh my god Alison you can't just ewww at the adorable straight people! Save it for the gross ones that do the really graphic make-outs that make you wonder if one of them is a facehugger from Alien.

The Alien franchise exists here, right?

(Not me though, you're not allowed to be grossed out if Forge gives me a kiss in public. Because I'm awesome and we save sloppy make-outs for in private.)

wait. Wait. WHOA WHOA WAIT. ALISON. ALISON DID YOU JUST COME OUT TO US.

Wh... no? Yes? I mean.

It's been obvious? For. Like. Years?

You've... heard my music before right?

Girl, your music is not as obvious as you think it is. Or maybe I wasn't listening right. (And yes, I've heard it a lot. I room with Pyotr! The Alison Blaire kick is far superior to the Neil Diamond kick he sometimes goes on.)
