@aceofspades: getting my fancy on #galewedding2.0

[austinffs]

Not this horrible place, no no. I meant to say was I could buy a condo in Manhattan that looks over the East River and some of the skylines and we can live there?

That is a horrible comparison. I can’t compare my mom to you, that’s weird. Mhm, I see you. But what if I want that to happen? Haha, I’m kidding. Or am I.. maybe your mom and I have this plan to elope. Again, I kid. Well stop being adorable then.

[missing-ace]

Yeah, I mean- definitely. I knew Bristol was going to be a temporary thing . .  . I was prepared to move back. I didn't know you'd still want to live together, honestly. I mean, I always leave the tap running.

You know I could have lived not realizing how horrible that comparison was until you pointed it out. Oh my gosh- yeah, maybe I'm not at all like your mother. Aus, if you're about to elope with my mother, you have to give me a 72 hour warning so that I can console myself and deal with the emotional trauma of having you as my father. I mean. you'd be a great dad . . but not for me. I can't help it! It comes naturally.

[austinffs]

But hey, that leads me to my next set of words. I was thinking about moving back here and opening up a practice — that’s if you want to come back here with me.

Yes you are, just a little. I kid I kid. I mean my mom is very — she’s very, hm..out there? and she’s really loud. My dad is like me but lamer. Whaaaat? Where did the adoring come from? Haha, does she really? Next time she asks, tell her I love her.

[missing-ace]

You want to move back to Queens, even if it does smell like it's been puked on repeatedly? 

Hey now- well, okay, I can accept that. Your mom sounds like me! My parents will be used to that kind of attitude, at least. Lamer than you? Impossible. I kid, I kid. Why, I could see it in your eyes, of course. I read you like a book, Austin Moore. What, no! I can't tell her of your love. She'll ditch my dad and swoop you off your feet, if I do.

100 days of music [day 2] ↠ take me out // franz ferdinand

so if you're lonely, you know i'm here waiting for you i'm just a crosshair, i'm just a shot away from you

[austinffs]

See now, I’d have to own a large building and have a billion dollars to pursue living like Iron Man.

Don’t mean dying? Just kidding, ha. I can be funny too y’know. You’re not the only one in this relationship, I just have to dig deep and try. My parents are up in Albany, I can force them to come down with us and meet your parents; I mean they do love you. Not that I talk about you.. to them.. a lot. Maybe just a tiny bit. Heh, yes I can.

[missing-ace]

You're right . . maybe this super hero thing isn't for us.

Hilarious, definitely. It's okay if it takes a little effort! Not everybody is born naturally talented- such as my self. Kidding, by the way. I'm still not that vain. Really? I mean, if our parents are anything like us at all, they'll hit it off immediately. It's fine to admit that you adore me. If it makes you feel any better, my mom texts me for her weekly Austin Update.

[loganog]

There definitely will be, it’ll be exciting. Right! But they’re friends so it’s not imposing, or, well, it shouldn’t be imposing. That would probably be a bit better than just barging in, yeah. I feel like you need it for something I’m not supposed to know about, but okay sure. Eh hem. I love you, Janey. There you go, you’re welcome. Yeah, you still have something.

[missing-ace]

That's true- and knowing me, they should probably expect me to burst in whenever I find it appropriate. I think I'll definitely give them at least a ten minute warning. I want to be a decent person. You might have some great deduction skills, Logan, but I'm not admitting to anything. Perfect! And yeah, thank you. It's good to be reassured that you love the girl you're marrying. 

[loganog]

New traditions are the best traditions. Just make everyone visit you every now and then. Or show up at their door and surprise them, that would work too. I’m pretty sure they don’t do it that way, nope. Conviction? Okay, do you want me to say I love Janey, or do you want me to say I love you, Janey cause those are two very different things. Still surprised.

[missing-ace]

Agreed.There are definitely going to be some new ones formed this week. Like subtle suggestion and inquisition. That's fun, right? Well, I don't want to impose on our friends! I'd definitely call them from the driveway instead of just walk up to the door. Oh, that's good- "I love you, Janey" should work. Not that I need it, or anything. It's just a nice thought that you should voice to the world. And to my cell phone.  Damn, really? I've still got it.

[loganog]

Five years works, yeah. Renew our vows every five years? I’m pretty sure that isn’t how that works. I don’t even think we had vows the first time though, cause it was in Bora Bora. Janey… I love Janey. You’re being quite weird, you know that?

[missing-ace]

I mean, we can make our own tradition with it. I simply can't go any longer without seeing you guys and you and Janey are who I'm going to have to depend on to bring us back together. Right  . . is that not how the locals do it down there? You do! I thought so. Now say it again: with conviction. Throw your voice into it, yeah? Are you really surprised? It is me, after all.

[austinffs]

Now I can go out and spend like a Kardashian, hell yeah. Just kidding.

No stop, that’s not what I meant. Who knew you had that side to you. Haha, just be you. I will like you even if you stay the lamest person there is. I feel the same about my parents. Go away.

[missing-ace]

I'd recommend investing like Iron Man if you want to keep your superhero status.

You have to admit- you're laughing on the inside. You set me up for that joke, really. You should've seen it coming. I've got lots of sides, just waiting to be revealed. Gotta' keep the world interested. D'aw, Aus, now I'm tearing up internally. You know, our parents should meet . . sometime. Maybe? Hey, you can't drag me to the UK, then bring me back here and kick me to the curb.

[loganog]

It’s like a high school reunion, but an apartment reunion. That’s what I’m calling it now, an apartment reunion. No, I hate her. Of course I love her. Tell you about what exactly?

[missing-ace]

I'll expect them at least every five years. And if we don't have a wedding coming up, you and Janey will just have to renew your vows. I mean, you're already going at it twice. Oh, you do? Who do you love again? 

[loganog]

I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss you guys, so yeah I did. Oh, yeah, that makes this a lot less terrible.

[missing-ace]

Yeah, I really do thing we all needed to see each other again. Just getting our fix so we can survive until the next wedding. Yep, marrying the girl you love . . you do love her, right? [subtly whips out her cell phone] You should tell me about that.

[loganog]

I forgot how busy it is here. I did not miss the whole busy thing.

[missing-ace]

But you did miss all our lovely faces, didn't you? And I'm sure the looming wedding makes it just a little more bearable. 

[austinffs]

Uh hello, I make like seventy thousand a year. Is THAT NOT ENOUGH WEALTH FOR YOU? Just kidding, that’s average I think.. no that’s high middle class but sh. We are wealthy, in our minds. 

I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it. You come at me with surprises and weird little kinks here and there. I still have a few years ahead with you and your jokes. Why would anyone want to take a break from that? Your parents sound really nice but are they loco? Yeah actually, yeah. I need to be at the chapel early anyways. Thanks. Oh god, shut up. 

[missing-ace]

Okay, I'll cut you some slack. Maybe you do have the wealth to become a superhero. Oh- I bet you've been one all along! I just didn't see it, being nothing more than a mere middle-class mortal. 

Kinks, hehe? Wink wink, nudge nudge.  At least I know my expiration date isn't so soon. Hopefully I can read up on some Comedy for Dummies books before that happens. They probably are, actually . . they did raise me, after all. See? I got'cha covered. 

[fckabbey]

… I am still so sorry about that. You can beat me up if you want to, just don’t hit my face, people will suspect things and yeah..

Oh, you dropped out of college? That’s surprising, oh my god. Tell me about that british life? Dated some hot, crooked-teeth british boys? How’s all that going on, Ace?

[missing-ace]

Nah, I don't think severely wounding you would be fair in any manner at all. You know what you did was wrong, but neither of us can change it, unfortunately. We both have to live with it, you know? I'm sure that's more than enough pain for you. 

Yeah, I mean, I still hadn't graduated from St. Johns when I decided to go to the U.K. and I wasn't interested in Psychology anymore. I didn't want to have to face people like that again, you know? Hah, fortunately not. I stuck to americans. Apparently the Brits don't appeal to me as much. How have you been doing? Outside of school, of course.

[fckabbey]

No, no you don’t need to, I’m good. I just forgot what it was to have you people not screaming at me for the longest time.

You should totally be relieved. You keep that young vibe in you, that’s amazing. I’ve been good, working on my psychology and stuff. What about you?

[missing-ace]

Don't worry, I won't! I'm pretty sure I'd get beat to the ground if I scared away the wedding guests. Yeah . . remembering our last encounter doesn't exactly make me want to kiss and make-up.

I try. Hopefully if I pretend I'm not getting old, I won't. Psychology? Janey got into that too, I think. It's funny how an experience can change someone. You and her moved towards the field . . and I dropped out of it. So yeah. I ditched college and high-tailed it to the U.K. Settled in a job, started dating a bit . . I guess I just tried to be a normal person for a few years.

[austinffs]

It’s about time, to be honest.

Oh god, to think after six years of living together I would have gotten used to your humor. It better not take long because we need it before Thursday or day of. Who’s picking it up, you or I? Don’t you see these tears, they’re all for you.

[missing-ace]

Hey, it is not an easy process to become a superhero, especially if you're not gifted with extreme wealth or superhuman abilities.

Oh, gosh, don't get used to my humor. When it stops surprising you, it's stops being funny. Trust me, there's a reason my parents are okay with my living so far from home- they get a break from all the fantastic commentary that leaves my mouth. I'll take care of it, don't worry. You probably want to spend as much time as possible with the bride-to-be! D'aw, I'm honored. I always knew I was a star performer.

[fckabbey]

But when you are angry, you do look as if you were about to murder someone.

Ace, you haven’t changed a bit. Physically and socially — Keep being that awesome girl with such a cute face.

[missing-ace]

That's a bit insensitive, don't'cha think? Kidding, I'm kidding. I'm glad I can pull a threatening face, should I need to.

I know, I look the exact same . . not sure if I should I be relieved or concerned, really. How have you been?
