Chris: I like that. I'll have to use it someday.

SMS's from Chris teach me things.
For example, I never knew that "desauve" was an alternate spelling for "déjà vu".

*Breakfast time. Liz is making French toast, Chris is washing up, and Mm is setting the table
Mm: I was reading the Wikipedia page about French toast, actually. It's been around since the 1800s.
Chris: What, Wikipedia?
Mm: ...It's like there's a major disconnect between the mouth and the brain!
Liz: How long has the Internet been around, Chris?
Chris: Since the 1990s?
Liz: And how long has Wikipedia been a major site?
Chris: The last couple of years?
Liz: And when were the 1800s?
Chris: A long time before that?

Chris and I went to a party last night. The music was louder than I'd've liked, so I spent a fair proportion of the evening outside.
Chris: Wow. You can almost see the stars.
Mm: Oh, they're there. *points* That one's a planet. *points* Those two are stars.
Chris: But aren't all stars really just planets? It just depends on how far away they are?
Mm: ........ You fail astronomy forever.

Chris and I had lunch at Maquarie Centre yesterday. Chris ordered Eggs Benedict.
...Apparently he'd never had it before, and didn't actually know what it was.
"It's okay, but the sauce is a bit much."
...The sauce is kind of the point, boyo...

Quotes from the weekend:
Faith was telling me about a conversation Chris had with his uncle when he was quite young:
Uncle: Would you like apple juice or orange juice?
Chris: I'm not quite sure.
Uncle: Chris, the questions are going to get progressively harder.
Will, on his present from Demi and Morgan: Oh God, I have a hookah!
Morgan, meanwhile, was being generically sleazy, though nothing particularly specific. They were playing some fighting game, and he demanded "equations" - Morgan-ese for big breasted females, since he's such an engineering student that he watches the game and mentally starts calculating the equations used to give the breasts their bounce. *shakes head*
Sigh.

Chris: That's right! I'd forgotten that!
Mm: ...
Chris: Thanks for reminding me!
...Sigh. It's probably a little sad that I know his schedule better than he does...

Last night was Thomas "Resurrection" of a birthday party.
I was 45 minutes early, and everyone else was at least half an hour late, which meant I spent a fair while sitting in the bar reading magazines and playing DS.
At one point, Kellie bought everyone (aside from me, obviously) a shot, and asked them to say something interesting about Thomas before they were allowed to drink it.
My ever-tactful boyfriend piped up with, "Thomas has a deep disdain for undergraduates. Which I now share." ...Sigh.
Eventually they turned up the music so loud that I got my canalphones out of my bag and used them as temporary earplugs.

PS: Something from the other night, while I was hanging out at EGG.
*Beani says something snarky about one of the EGG members that Lei doesn't know.
Lei: You really have to be nicer to the n00bs.
Beani: Karate Mook isn't a n00b! He's been around for at least two years!
Lei: ...Ok. ...You really have to be nicer to the nubs.
EDIT:
Chris: The place we went to had lots of meat.
Dedney: For a moment there, I thought that was a nice way of saying it was a sausage fest.
Mm: It's Chris!
Dedney: Yeah, then I remembered who I was talking to.
EDIT (2):
Dedney: I'm a lawyer, right?
Everyone else: ...
Dedney: And the rules are, "Say something interesting about Thomas before you drink".
Kellie: Yes...
Dedney: Something interesting about Thomas! *reaches for his glass* |

Mm: You've left your toothbrush behind at my house.
Chris: No, that was yours. Remember? Your Mum gave it to me when I realised I'd forgotten mine.
Mm: ... ... ... I don't want a second hand toothbrush.
Chris: I didn't use it!
Mm: ...We were away for four days, and you didn't brush your teeth?
Chris: ...Uh...?
Mm: I'm going to go back to "I don't want a second hand toothbrush", and pretend the last few minutes never happened.

Chris' most shining moment of the day was, having watched a ninety-minute film, not noticing that it was in black-and-white.
Followed by asking me what a silver bullet was, as we watched a man pouring molten metal into a mould - in a Buffy The Vampire Slayer episode about werewolves ("It's a bullet... Made from silver...").
Followed by turning "Advanced Medical Institute" into the acronym "ADI".
...I think he might be a little overtired...

The following conversation occurred by SMS.
Chris: Look up acts 2 vs 1-13. I had to read it last night at church and failed :(
Mm: You want me to read the bible to you? +puzzled+
Chris: No I want you to see how crazy the words are :p there like inponsable. Granted i get +1 for my Random counter don't i ? :)
Mm: Yes. Yes you do. :p. But isn't it basically 'we all understood each other, 'cause the message is so universal'? I only skimmed it.
Chris: Yeah it is but they go through all the various language groups, ie the rafanguirs, the padanights, etc etc which were annoying to pronounce
I thought about making some snarky comment about my inverted cross pendant, but decided against it. On the other hand, I had about three different interpretations of the initial comment:
* "Read this and give me a summary; I was meant to look it over and I forgot to."
* "I tried to understand this but coundn't parse it in a way that made sense."
* "I failed to live by the message given in this passage."
As the rest of the conversation showed, none of the above were correct. :P.
The previous +1 to Chris' randometer was him telling me not to watch I Am Legend, because "It's basically like Fall Of Man, but an entire movie." I didn't have the heart to point out that a game is probably longer than a movie. :P.
Now I need to go have a bath then crash. I have work in the morning, and I forgot this last night.

Mm: How old is she?
Chris: ... *disdainfully* She's a teenager.
Mm: *mildly offended* Hey, watch it. I was a teenager, till September rolled around.
Chris: But you grew up!
Mm: ...Yeah. Because there's such a behavioural difference between 19 and 20.
Chris: Yep! You got new glasses!
Mm: Interesting definition of 'behavioural'.

Chris is currently in Melbourne, holidaying with family. He'll be back around the 3rd.
...I think he's a little bored. The following are verbatim SMSs I've received. I assume there will be more; if there are, I'll edit them in.
* Day 1 :arrived in melbourne and its desserted. Room bit small but nice view of city.
* Sighs family antics. Room we are all staying in is same size as your room.
* Day 2: visit my dad's place of growing up and watching nbl game at some stadium.
