The Parlor (2)

*twitches*

What DOES interest you? Do you just not have any interests?

When you're married, you put your interests aside for those of your spouse.
What interests I do have are not in the interest of my family.
*goes quiet*

Family, eh? Well, JUMPY's interests are sex, and I very much doubt that little Dante has developed a taste for anything that would inspire his father's cynicism.

I say you develop your own tastes, eh?

*looks at Angelo*

*glances at Arianna*
What I want to do requires leaving home, and that's not something Jumpy would enjoy.
She takes everything that I do or say personally.
I have to be careful with my actions.
*looks pointedly at TV to end conversation*

*grumbles*

*gets up to go get more popcorn*

*returns with popcorn and copy of Titanic*

*holds up copy of Titanic*

Don't make me use it. I'll cry all over you!

...I just want to help.

*sharply*
With what?
*jaw clenches*

*burps*

You know, stuff. You seem a bit tense, and I imagine that it's not just you trying to be charming and aloof and such. Everyone needs someone to talk to, and I'm nosy.

*dryly*
I'd noticed.
*pauses*
I'm just stressed.
It's normal for me.
I didn't mean to take it out on you.
*rubs the bridge of his nose*

*averts eyes*

Well, I hope whatever it is gets better. I'm not going to pry.

*twitches from effort*

*takes a peek at Arianna's expression*
*quietly grabs a piece of popcorn and throws it into her hair*

*picks out piece of popcorn*

*eats it*

*still twitching*

*rolls eyes*
*mutters*
You're acting like Jumpy.
That's not a compliment, Catania.

Yes, well I'm starting to see why she's so grumpy all of the time. You're kind of annoying.

(starts singing http://www.secretagentbob.com/theafterlifeisfrance.mp3)

*tries to hold back a smile*
*chuckles*
I try.

I appreciate your effort, though it is completely unnecessary; I would enjoy your company much more without it.

IM SURE THAT FRANCE WOULD BE QUITE NICE IF THEY KILLED OFF THE FRENCH!

But the people that can endure it are worth being around, Miss Catania.
*smiles*
And what the hell are you singing?
*laughs*

Sure. Sure.

And you haven't seen Spatula Madness?! :O


*pulls it up on laptop*

*continues to sing while the video loads*

WHY ON EARTH DONT THESE CHICKS EVER SHAVE? WHY OH WHY MUST A PLACE LIKE THIS BE MY GRAVE?

*looks over Arianna's shoulder and stands behind couch*
*raises an eyebrow*
This is..odd..
And slightly entertaining.

Slightly?!

*raises eyebrow*

Oh, c'mon! You must find this at least MILDLY entertaining. "Slightly" simply will not do.

Hm.

*pulls up Charlie the Unicorn*

Fine.
It's entertaining.
Happy?
*messes up Arianna's hair and goes upstairs to check on Dante*

*snickers*

*to self*

Yes, yes I am.

*heads up to room to go to sleep*

(H: Aaagh, need. sleep.)

*gives up on dawn*
You are the worst guesser.
*pokes her and she falls over*
Ummm.....I didn't do it.
*trys to set her back up*

*runs flailing into the parlor*
Program time!
*flicks on TV to Big Bang Theory*
YAYAYAYAYAY!

(Lid's apparently avoiding people... oh well.)

*is dragged into parlor by Daniella*

WHAT THE CRAP WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?

D:

WELL..
I'll just say it's something to avoid. >.>
*sits on couch and adds blanket on top of sweater*

It's not smart to get into the middle of a brawl Jumpy's intent on finishing.
*coughety cough*
