MY PARTNER: Now? It's like 4:00 in the morning.

*watching a bunch of old Star Trek TNG episodes*

ME: I like Q.

MAYMAY: You like me?

ME: I do like you! I also like Q.

MAYMAY: Ohhh.

ME: I like YOU. And I like QUEUE. But you and Q are not the same. Although you do have some traits in common.

MAYMAY: Whatcha doin'?

ME: Re-reading my old Deadjournal entries from, like, 2002 for some reason.

MAYMAY: 'Kay.

ME: I should probably really back all this stuff up at some point.

MAYMAY: Wanna do it right now? You can use wget. It'll only take a few minutes.

ME: Really?

MAYMAY: Sure. I'll walk you through it.

MAYMAY: *walks me through it*

ME: Wow, that was really fast!

MAYMAY: Yup. That's wget!

ME: *goes back to reading old Deadjournal entries*

MAYMAY: *goes back to cooking dinner*

ME: *wanders into the kitchen* Hey, thank you for helping me with so much stuff. I really appreciate it.

MAYMAY: Sure. :)

ME: Man, those old entries. I was such a naive, cute, fuzzy animal in my early 20s.

MAYMAY: Yeah...that's how most early 20s tend to go.

ME: Well, I guess now I'm glad that I decided against posting [VERY PERSONAL VULNERABLE THING] on my Tumblr.

MAYMAY: Why?

ME: Oh, y'know, cuz then I went and started a fight with radfems. When it comes to fighting on the Internet, radfems have far fewer...rules of engagement than SJWs do.

*Thin Mint explodes in a rain of chocolate dust*

ME: GAH! This was NOT the right kind of cookie to eat in bed.

MAYMAY: It's okay. *brushing cookie crumbs out of sheets* Ooh, chocolate! Nom.

ME: *laughs*

MAYMAY: AGGH! THAT WASN'T CHOCOLATE!

ME: What was it??

MAYMAY: Ugh! There's just so much technological friction.

ME: That's because we live in the dark ages. Computers were only invented less than a hundred years ago, remember?

MAYMAY: Riiiight. Sometimes I forget, because I think they feel so much more native to me than a lot of other people my age.

ME: I believe that. Anyway, what time do you want to do this tomorrow?

MAYMAY: What? I'm not going to plan a time! That's why it's called a "Hangout." You just go there, and if there are other people there, you hang out with them! That's how it works in the physical world, too.

ME: True...But in the physical world, people do sometimes say something like, "I'm going to this coffee shop at 4pm. If you want to hang out with me, that's when I'll be there."

MAYMAY: :P Okay, well, *I* don't do that.

ME: Yes. I know. :P

And I'm tired.
