gen texts

[lowlaw]

a GENERAL sort of TEXTING meme

Sometimes, you just want to text somebody. No reason, no sexy stuff, no special time of the day. You just text that sucker. Sometimes it's even a wrong number! The world is your oyster, if your oyster has unlimited texting. Which, presumably, it does. You know what to do! Leave a top level and text people! Live free! Get weird!

Sounds like I need to take a page out of your book.
I say we try to contain the punching until the holidays, build the strength of our vengeance.
I may have already promised Mama we would come out to Saint Petersburg for Christmas, anyway.

[white_widow]

...
I no longer feel guilty she called you to whine about me
How long did you promise we would stay?

We can save up the vengeance till then, yes

[bestqualified]

Ten days.
But you can't tell me you wouldn't have made the same promise if you had to hear her go on about how we never call or visit.

[white_widow]

TEN days? Ten.

Ten days.
Fine.
I get two weeks after of ignoring their calls with no guilt trip.

[yes, she would also have made that promise.]

[bestqualified]

I tried for a week (Christmas Eve to New Year’s Eve) but Alexei yelled “UNACCEPTABLE!” at the top of his lungs.
So we agreed to the 23rd through the 1st.
And I suppose you can have your two weeks guilt trip free afterwards.
I’ll take on the burden of being the only loyal child, yet again.

[white_widow]

I suppose that date range is not that bad
and we will be able to get some proper сбитень

ha ha
you are the oldest, it is your rightful burden

[bestqualified]

I never realized you were so attached to сбитень.
Count yourself lucky I love you enough to take on this burden.
If I didn’t, they’d have shown up here by now.

[white_widow]

I don't know if I'm attached, but it is good
Count yourself lucky I love you enough to keep your ten day promise

oh
oh, no
alright, that is a valid point
just one week no guilt trip

[bestqualified]

It is good.
We’ll make sure to escape on our own for a few days in between. They won’t want us cramping their style as much as they think right now.
You can keep your two weeks, Lena.
We might all need two weeks after so much family time, honestly.

[white_widow]

That will help balance out the urge to get punchy
If they don't also want two weeks quiet from us, then you and I can alternate when we get back

[bestqualified]

Aw, baby sister. Such a softie.

[white_widow]

I take it back.

[bestqualified]

Too late. It's forever seared into my memory.

[white_widow]

hmph.
that's not fair
and anyways I would still have been demanding the first week, that isn't very 'suh a softy'

[bestqualified]

You're always demanding, what else is new?
You can be both.

[white_widow]

well
Fine, I guess

[bestqualified]

[white_widow]

no, no
You are not allowed to squish my face, don't get ideas

[bestqualified]

I'm absolutely allowed to squish your face.
I'm the oldest, it's my right.

[white_widow]

face squishing is almost certainly a бабушка privilege. perhaps an elderly aunt. you might fit the age requirement, but it does not apply to siblings

[ the bit of mocking is required when presenting little sister logic like this ]

[bestqualified]

[hardy har har.]

Special circumstances. You disappear on me for five years, I get to do what I want.

[white_widow]

You are the absolute worst to negotiate with, do you know that?

[bestqualified]

You weren't negotiating, Yelena. You were calling me old.

A+ icon choice

[white_widow]

That doesn't count as part of a negotiation? Hm.

ty! <3

[bestqualified]

I'd be concerned you think it does if I didn't know what a нарушитель спокойствия you are.
