I've often dealt with a surplus of opportunities to have a good time by imagining that in an alternate universe, an alternate me is doing the things that the current-universe me has chosen not to do. This keeps me from getting bummed out about the things I'm missing, and often prevents me from trying to cram too many things into a single weekend, or whatnot.

However.

This weekend was still overly full. In fact, although I'm pretty sure I know what alternate-universe me did on Friday night, I can't recall what I actually did. I think that's a bad sign.

Hee! I think that's true. Alternate me has a lot more piercings.

This last Friday? In which we went to Subway in the rain, then Games Night/This-is-not-a-Finance-Committee-meeting, and then home and...I lost the rest, actually. Maybe you can pick up the thread, or maybe we just went to bed.

See, that's the most horrifying part. I have a vague feeling that we might have had sex. But I'm not sure if that's true or not. Maybe we played Diablo. I am 99% percent certain that both of those things happened this weekend, but I can't remember precisely when.

I think it's time to start sleeping more, or going to less meetings, or something. I think I'm getting old.

Or maybe you should be having more sex and playing more Diablo.

I seldom mind doing more of either of those things. Not to say that the activities are equivalent, but I do like both of them quite a bit.

Saturday you had to get up and go to Standardized Patient Testing, so I suspect we canoodled with [livejournal.com profile] kittenpants for a while and then went to bed. Is that the night I was reading Anansi Boys out loud?

I like that answer much better. I am willing to believe that it was the night you were reading Anansi Boys, since I do recall that you did that. And I was reading Promethea, and I think that we read, and then slept. Yep. That's a better world, right there.

My alternate universe Becky sleeps a lot. She lives somewhere very quiet.. and she sleeps, a lot. When not sleeping she stars in porn movies, but mostly she sleeps, and doesn't live in an apartment.

Heh.

Alternate Kimberly went to a physics lecture.

What rich fantasy lives we have! Sheesh.

When I was young, as in before Jim, I pretty much lived in fantasy. My mother would see me reading or daydreaming and yell at me about it, but fantasy was so much better than reality. After Jim and the boys, I guess I didn't need the fantasy life all that much, my real one was so much better. So mostly I daydream about getting bills paid off, or sleeping (I'm pretty much reduced to "tree pretty, fire bad" lately when it comes to sleep, or lack of it)

Alternate Kimberly sat next to me in that lecture.
It was beastly hot in there, from over-attendance.
-so-
Alternate Kimberly stripped down the the legal minimum of clothing...
Very distracting.

Heh. Sadly, though, alternate Kimberly is roughly the same size and shape as actual Kimberly (Kimberly Prime?), and therefore is careful to remember not to take her clothes off in front of people, unless they all already like her a great deal and are therefore unlikely to be offended or disgusted.

It is a good story, though.

Alternate me is a microbiology lab monkey (doing much what [livejournal.com profile] chaosdruid does) who is working for the CDC and has no friends as she did not get involved in Speech therefore not being as social as this version of me. This would also include the willingness of myself to have my tits appreciated by more than just myself. A puritanical me, if you will.
