So there.

212 months and 6 days ago, my baby brother was born. His name was Josh then, but I think I love him even more now.

That's because I'm just such a lovable fellow.

What's this about?

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

Sometimes people get so caught up in the sad anniversaries that they forget the good ones, that's all.

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Nice. Really.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm sure you already know, but 48 days, 15 hours since Rachel was born, too.

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Congratulations.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

Er. On math in this state? Well, I suppose that does require a little bit of confetti in my direction.

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

There are things I would like to throw at you right now. Confetti isn't on the list.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

...wait, what?

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. Just a case of phenomenally bad timing, not insensitivity.

[x-icarus.livejournal.com]

Oh, lay off her. If you're going to be all emo and me-like, don't put it all on Paige.

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Well, at least I know that with you it is ignorance.

[x-icarus.livejournal.com]

Nice. I can see your girl is being raised by a man of utmost sensitivity. She's going to grow up to be a wonderful woman.

Assuming you don't drive her off her rocker and into the loony bin first, you jackass.

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

I suppose when I repay cryptic with cryptic, there's a school of thought that says I deserve the abuse.

Paige? You have a point. The appropriateness or lack thereof of the day you chose to make that point is entirely in the eye of the beholder, I suppose.

Apologies.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

Whoawhoa. I am... not moving in on whatever 'issues', for lack of better word, you may or may not have. Just a gentle reminder to celebrate life, the good things, hm? Here especially, it would be so easy to forget.

And watch it with my brother, please.

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

I think your brother's doing quite well for himself. Although I will point out that the comment about ignorance was actually not an insult, merely a statement of fact. In that he really would have no idea why I took exception to your choice of days upon which to make your point, because that's information he has no access to.

That being said, let's take this to email. I'm not sure why I didn't in the first place, except perhaps a natural inclination to respond in the same forum.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

But he didn't know that, silly. Without that knowledge, sounds a bit like an insult.

Er, all right. I didn't... oh, heck, I'll defend myself in the email, I guess, but I didn't mean any harm.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

Heyhey. I know you're only this because you're sticking up for me, and thank you, but come on. Playing the offspring card is low.

Besides, there's still Moira.

[x-icarus.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, it got you an apology, so it worked.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

Pbbt! Silly boy. Have you met the tiniest redhead?

[x-icarus.livejournal.com]

Wait just three more months and we can celebrate this happy anniversary with cake and presents.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

He is a reasonably swell fellow, isn't he? We should give him an award or something.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

And pretty. Very pretty. So I'm sure he'd enjoy something shiny.

[x-icarus.livejournal.com]

Catseye would just steal it from me.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

She might share. If you're super lucky.

[x-icarus.livejournal.com]

Then that defeats the purpose of it being my medal, then doesn't it?

How about a plaque? Catseye wouldn't care none about a plaque.

[x-icarus.livejournal.com]

Just "reasonably" swell? Jerk.
