xp_communication | IM log with Kitty and Doug...

thecatsmeow: Doug?

CypherDoug: Kit? Um, hey.

thecatsmeow: Hiya
thecatsmeow: Haven't seen you around much

CypherDoug: *nods* I've been...hiding.

thecatsmeow: *raise eyebrow*
Why?
thecatsmeow: Has this got something to do with why Jamie's been laughing madly at random intervals?
thecatsmeow: You two aren't starting another war, are you?

CypherDoug: Might be. I owe him for a couple things.

thecatsmeow: oh?
thecatsmeow: Any chance I can get advanced notice to get out of range?

CypherDoug: Well, you should be out of range as long as you haven't started showering with him that I'm unaware of. ;-)

thecatsmeow: *blink**blink*
No, definitely not.

CypherDoug: 'Kay. :-)

thecatsmeow: What on earth are you _planning_!

CypherDoug): You can keep it secret?

thecatsmeow: (and you still haven't told me what on earth you owe him for. I thought I was up on all his plots)
Course I can.

CypherDoug: Well, I owe him a little bit for the whole 'filtered journal' thing. Although I'm not really mad, he just needs some comeuppance. :-) And there's...he's been insinuating things. And making me blush. Hence with the hiding.

thecatsmeow: Ah. *nods*
Insinuating? What the hell's he insinuuating so bad you'd go into hiding for... *checks watch* two days?

CypherDoug: Stuff. *blush* About me and Angie.

thecatsmeow: Again with the blushing. There is new blushable material about you and Angie, or is this the same old she likes your ass blush?

CypherDoug: Jamie didn't tell you?

thecatsmeow: He's hard to pin down.

CypherDoug: Angie, uh...askedmeonadate.
CypherDoug: *blush*

thecatsmeow: *laughs* I've never seen someone 'fasttalk' in chat before. And congrats. I take it Lorna's teasing about math finally hit home?

CypherDoug: I dunno, she got on IM from Europe, and I talked about Jamie giving me grief, and somehow she asked me something about gender equality, and the next thing I know I was agreeing to let her pay for dinner.

thecatsmeow: *grin* good for her

CypherDoug: So now I'm hiding cuz I'm nervous about the date.

thecatsmeow: Er... that's silly
thecatsmeow: on multiple points.
thecatsmeow: 1) if you're nervous about something that's presumably not until after she gets back you're going to be hiding for a while.
thecatsmeow: 2) if it's really over date worries there are people you could talk to who could help and hiding from them won't help
thecatsmeow: 3) Hiding and then staying online doesn't work that well. We can always find you on AIM.

CypherDoug: Darn you and your sinister logic! ;-)

thecatsmeow: *laugh*
thecatsmeow: So does that mean you'll come out of hiding?

CypherDoug: Maybe.

thecatsmeow: *pokes you*

CypherDoug: Angie's not helping much with the blushing either.

thecatsmeow: *laugh* Course not. Verifiable fact - boys are cute when they blush

CypherDoug: *dubious* If you say so.

thecatsmeow: Had hours of fun with it myself when Jamie and I first started going out.

CypherDoug: I think she has plans to make me blush when we go pick everyone up at the airport on Monday.

thecatsmeow: *grins* I would not be surprised in the least.
thecatsmeow: But so what? Chances are good you'll enjoy it

CypherDoug: Yeah, I suppose. It's more the 'embarassment in front of a significant number of the student body' thing.

thecatsmeow: You'll live. Promise.
thecatsmeow): It doesn't pay to do permanent damage...

CypherDoug: Dare I ask if there's any book on anything involving me and Angie?

thecatsmeow: Nah. Would be a silly bet.
thecatsmeow: I wouldn't give more'n 3:2 odds and at that half the Mansion'd be excluded for insider information, I'm sure.

CypherDoug: Probably only Jamie, Lorna, and maybe Alison, as far as I would know. I dunno if I want to be a centerpiece of gossip, although it serves Angie and me right for the way we give Nathan and Doctor Mactaggart a hard time. :-)

thecatsmeow: *laugh* it does indeed. Watching them, I think _I'm_ going to end up being the one to pay for your date.

CypherDoug: Have you noticed...it's weird, it's like...they're more aware of each other lately. And that's not quite what I mean. Not sure how to explain it.

thecatsmeow: I think I kind of know what you mean. He posted about how he thinks she knows he's awake, even though she's asleep, and there's been other stuff like that.
thecatsmeow: Don't know what to make of it, except to write off thirty bucks.

CypherDoug: Yeah, little stuff he mentions as asides. *shakes head* But I won't think too hard about it winning Angie and me thirty bucks for our date.

thecatsmeow: :p
thecatsmeow: Says the boy who's never willing to put money into the 'buy Kitty cool stuff' fund.

CypherDoug: Hey, I figured I'd take advantage of the fact that you'll probably never give Angie good odds again with this whole precog thing. *grin*

thecatsmeow: *laugh* true enough.

CypherDoug: And it works out well that it'll probably help pay for the date. *chuckle*

thecatsmeow: *sigh* Ah well. Life and times of an amature bookie, I guess. *grin*

CypherDoug: So yeah, I'm going with whoever goes to pick up the Europe crowd on Monday, and then I think she's going to Minnesota with us on Tuesday.

thecatsmeow: Ah, cool. And knowing you'd I'd say you're freting over both, right?

CypherDoug: Yeah. Because she's basically said she has plans to make me blush on Monday. And we'll probably do the date while in Minnesota. And if Jamie's ribbings are bad, I shudder to think of what Guido might say.

thecatsmeow: *laugh* Well, I continue to disbelieve in this Guido without further proof (because, apparently, he disbelieves in me), but if he gives you shit you can always give him shit back about what a fool he (will have undoubtedly) made of himself infront of Al.

CypherDoug: True. That's about all that's keeping me from curling into a little ball. I can't wait to see the look on his face when Ali takes the inducer off.

thecatsmeow: *grin*

CypherDoug: I can vouch for Guido's existence, though.

thecatsmeow: And no ball curling. Angie's not here to deliver appropriate cures -whatever they may be - so I veto the ball thing.

CypherDoug: He and Jamie and I go way back.

thecatsmeow: No go. I refuse to believe in him until he believes in me.

CypherDoug: Silly Guido. He probably wouldn't believe in Angie unless she was coming either. I think he still has this mental image of Jamie and me as the amazing dateless wonders.

thecatsmeow: *grin* Will prove him wrong, oh yes we will

CypherDoug: Oh, definitely. Besides, we have ways to get back at him. He's still cranky about the recording of Ali that Jamie and I sent him after our concert.
CypherDoug: His eyes are going to bug out when he realizes that we _live_ with her.

thecatsmeow: *laugh* I can imagine

CypherDoug: If Jamie didn't already tell him. Can't remember now.
CypherDoug: *shrug* Either way, it's going to be priceless.

thecatsmeow: I don't think he has. Jamie's pretty sure he's going to be completely surprised.

CypherDoug: *grins* Excellent.
CypherDoug: As I told Jamie, I may laugh so hard I have to change my pants. ;-)

thecatsmeow: *laughs*

CypherDoug: Plus, if we could jam with him, that'd be awesome. Alison Blaire and her Amazing Fanboys? ;-)

thecatsmeow: *dies* Oh, what an image.

CypherDoug: I wonder if I should pack The Pants.
CypherDoug: Because at least I know one way to reduce Angie to a lesser level of coherence. I may not understand the butt thing, but I can take ruthless advantage of it. ;-)

thecatsmeow: Yes.
thecatsmeow: You _must_ bring them.
thecatsmeow: they are your best weapon in the battle of the sexes.

CypherDoug: Jamie and me in leather pants, Alison in whatever she wears...although I don't think I care for the image of Guido in leather pants. He's gotten too big.

thecatsmeow: And it's fine if you don't understand it, just go with it. Jamie doesn't understand my thing for him in dress jackets.
thecatsmeow: *laugh*

CypherDoug: Well, anyways, I think I'm going to close up shop, and brave my room before lunch.
CypherDoug: Thanks for talking me down from all that nervousness and hiding and all.

thecatsmeow: Sounds like a plan. Tell Jamie if he gives you too much grief he will answer to me.

CypherDoug: 'Kay.

thecatsmeow: And your'e welcome
thecatsmeow: you're, even

CypherDoug: *hugs* Talk to you later, Kit.

thecatsmeow: Later!
