#so thoroughly

I bumped into Theo on the tube escalator. he was going up, I was coming down. I had left at home a tablecloth that I needed to take with me to the yalitcon so I was going to get it back - I'm in studymode barefaced no eyemakeup horror. Theo's just back from a vacation in France and he's tanned red like a lobster and hasn't been allowed to shave on vacation cuz no mirrors at his dads house and no razors on travel allowed, so he's sporting a patchy two-week beard/stache that he, halfway through conversation, realised he has and suddenly looks horrified. (I've only ever seen him freshly shaved. Armpits and all.) So he went on at great length about his shaving, and I babbled about my tablecloth, insterspersed with hugs of the "its so good to see you again!" variety. Then I brought up his last text to me which featured the Voight Kampf test and the upside down turtle which I didn't get when I first read it and he talked about how it was the defining test to determine if you were an android or human and I was like OH DUH BLADERUNNER and somehow it veered into how it was so nice to get an explanation in person as against on text, and in some ways it felt like the physical manifestation of a text that would have been, and because my brain likes to make completely needless connections and blurt them out I went all "we're being humans, not androids!" and spent a hot shamefilled ten seconds of why the fuckfuckfuck would I say something that stupid, and went with a hurried right, so I have to go now and he was like "aw, you don't think I'm an android" and then I legged it after saying something about meeting next week.
