multiple choice

So, what have you been up to?

A) Oh, you know. Same old, same old.

B) What have I been up to? Let me answer that with a long baby anecdote! My baby is nearly at another milestone! I mean, I'm pretty sure. I think there are signs. Do you want to hear all about it? It involves poop. I have a lot of photos on my phone!

C) I've become obsessed with cockfighting. I don't really own any birds of my own, but I've been spending hours on end learning about the sport. It's totally a sport. Let me sit you down and tell you all about my disreputable new hobby. Do you think I should get some birds?

D) Trudging day by day towards the inevitability of the grave while the economy and the climate shit the bed as the human race does a ponderous, balletic, completely avoidable decade-long suicide, same as you. Why?

E) Okay, to be honest, I've been kind of tense lately. I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to be able to keep my spouse from noticing that I've been keeping roosters on the back patio.

F) My life is so fucking awesome I can't talk about it because if I ever do even I want to beat myself to death with a hammer for smugness.

G) Do you have half an hour? I could go into everything I've been learning at work and the political dilemmas I've been dealing with and the various strategies I'm considering for coping with them, plus I'd like to vent about my boss.

H) Can't complain. You?

B, but then again, I'm told that's part of parenting responsibly. So I'm in the clear there!

Also, Z, I am considering setting up an online dream journal. I'm already keeping a paper one, but since most of the things I am reading about dreams right now keeps talking about a lack of research, I am considering making it available as a resource. I am a little embarrassed about it, though, possiblyallrightyestotally because a lot of my dreams involve fictional characters, and somehow a dream journal that consists of a lot of "and then Snape said something snarky" and "I used the atomizer-inator to turn Robotnik and Knuckles into sheets of plastic" just doesn't ... seem like very serious business, or something that will be useful/interesting to people other than me.
