This, folks, is a moment of wild adoration for my partners. Here's how it goes:

Yesterday, [livejournal.com profile] triadruid and I stopped by to pick up his tuxedo for Saturday. It's an old-fashioned cut, with a long cutaway coat, and an ascot instead of the usual bow-tie, and he looks absolutely devastating in it. I mean, really. He hits the perfect balance of elegant and dissipated (this never fails to make me go all wobbly) -- in short, he looks like the best bad idea I've ever had. I sort of squeak out, "Your wife will enjoy that", and try to keep myself from overheating or passing out in the shop.

We move on. He's got a meeting, so I take him up to 75th Street Brewery to meet his group. I've arranged for [livejournal.com profile] kittenpants to meet us there, so that she and I can have dinner together. Over the course of dinner and the drive home, we are full of good ideas. We design a Las Vegas casino/resort (we're thinking it'll be The Nautilus, a Jules Verne-inspired sort of place, heavy on the steampunk and aquatic elements, with just a dash of Hindu temple). We invent the sort of male strip show that would cater to us and people like us (they go on two or three at a time, dressed in frock coats and generally foppish attire, and then, they undress each other. It's a simple thing, but we think this is ideal). We decide that nobody else may ever cover "I Think We're Alone Now", unless it's a band like Tool. And so on.

We get home, we do some research about our upcoming trip to Las Vegas (it all comes back around). Then, [livejournal.com profile] triadruid comes home. I demand that he should put the tux back on for the edification of [livejournal.com profile] kittenpants. Somewhere in there, we had a lovely bottle of wine that [livejournal.com profile] kittenpants had picked up to celebrate our engagement a few weeks ago but that we never got around to drinking. I'll spare you the rest of the scene in consideration of your undoubtedly delicate sensibilities. :)

Anyway, these people I have somehow managed to attach myself to, they're fabulous -- clever and beautiful, fun to be around, full of brilliant plans, generous and helpful. I think I should keep them. What do you think?

I think you guys are awesome. You're the first "triple" I've ever met :)

I really liked getting to meet them and have good conversations with someone who just understood some things.

Sort of like, when you're half of a couple, talking to other couples is nice because there are some things that're just understood. When you're in a lesbian relationship, talking to other lesbians is nice because there are some things that're just understood.

Finding another sane MFF triad was nice like that. Plus they're awesome people in their own rights.

I haven't had the pleasure yet. I hope to at some point.

Of meeting them, I mean.

....and being part of a sane MFF triad >:D

You should, of course, also meet [livejournal.com profile] ysabel and her partners [livejournal.com profile] fenton and [livejournal.com profile] amaltheae. [livejournal.com profile] fenton is the brother of [livejournal.com profile] zylch, who you probably already know. They're all fabulous people. :)

They are, however, in Denver, which makes a party somewhat more rare. :)

I think I should keep them. What do you think?

I think the three of you together are wonderful. You should definitely hang onto them. You've been the best example I've seen of a poly relationship that works, and that's a credit to all of you.


And it's hardly ever content-free with me on Fridays...

oh true that!

i had a horribly wonderful married-monogamite moment today--waking up with the old curmudgeon and cuddling before the Offspring began stirring. flashes of incredulity and shock that DomesticLife could ever be good and nice and healthy and fun and erotic and you know, all good. 'samazing.

Also, we're coming out to your bit of the world in a few weeks, like 8/8-8/12ish. Might we get together for dinner/adventure/whatever? Since you know, I haven't seen you since the end of the world.

for shizzle!! that woudl so rock!!

i fear we have very lil space to keep U3, but dinner and adoration of my Child of Light is totally in the cards and I'm sure more dangerous fun can be scraped up.

You know, if SPiral had persisted, we could have celebrated the Fool with a 6week old bbay. scary huh?

We'll have plenty of space if folks want to get together over here and don't mind some remaining moving chaos. Alternatively, lots of restaurants and so forth.

(They're staying with us, last I checked.)

But of course. We just moved to Applewood, near the 32nd and Youngfield exit on I-70.

We'll be at your house in less than three weeks. If it's still funny then, we should do that. :)

Thank you for helping me reboot my shit.

As I think I mentioned, I love you. Do you consider your shit to be rebooted at this point?

Not until November -- I'm attending a training conference (fun fun) and we thought we'd make an excursion of it.

If you decide not to keep them, I'm up for grabs! Wait...I'm up for being grabbed now ;-)

You are phenomenal!

try to keep myself from overheating or passing out in the shop.

You need to quit overclocking, or maybe add an extra case fan, though a few extra holes filled with rotating blades might not be popular on your particularly nice looking case.

And while we're on BWSD, I'd like to point out that you're brain is equally as attractive as the rest of you, if not more so. It's easy to see why it takes two people to live up to a catch such as you. (Both of them are great, too, but that's a topic for their journals.)

If you ever decide to move cities, I'll campaign heavily to import you and/or yinz to Pittsburgh.

Dammit. I prefer to be overclocked whenever possible.

And thank you for the anti-brainweasel love. I happen to think you're pretty fantastic as well. (And we miss you in Kansas City)

yeah, do we get to see pics of this amazing tux-awesomeness??
i totally think you should keep them, and they should keep you. i mean, y'all are so amazing, i have no idea how my life existed before bumping into such amazing awesomeness!seriously, my world would be dull without the E3.

There should totally be pictures of tux awesomeness. We don't dress up very often, so when we do, it's pictureworthy :)

Also, as it happens, we're fond of you too. :)

Her description of you made me want to jump you (in an immediate sense, rather than the general sense). Yum.

I think I also bumped the comment count a bit.

The three of you fit so well together. :) *warm fuzzies* You should have seen the happy dance down here in FL when I saw the notice of ya'll's engagement. I couldn't be any more thrilled for all 3 of you!!!!

Yes, you should keep one another.

Oh and consider yourselves invited to the wedding...need snail mail addy. Rowangolightly (at) gmail
