Because Lee has been waiting and because it is wrong to always allow the middle child to be overshadowed by his siblings… an update on Chris’s whereabouts and activities. Or, as much of an update as I’ve got.
When last we saw the boy, he was moving all of his belongings to a storage warehouse thing in Micanopy with plans to live in a tent (that happened to have a broken zipper) on the 1/2 child’s property in Micanopy. He was going to live in said tent just until “they” built a storage shed/barn thing to live in. And he was going to just live in this storage shed/barn thing until the group of “American Turd Association” kids in the greater Gainesville region built communal housing on said property.
Well, things being what they are in Florida in the summer (hurricanes) and Chris being a child who is somewhat addicted to his computer (OK completely addicted due to WoW) and the “American Turd Association” kids being errr “American Turd Association” kids nothing got built and Chris is now living in a nice little two bedroom apartment in downtown Gainesville. The half child is also living there, in his own bedroom.
(Chris made this clear on the phone to me yesterday – why he felt the need to make that clear is beyond me. Did he think I suspected him of living in sin with the 1/2 child? I mean I wouldn’t be surprised or anything, knowing the crush the 1/2 child has always had on Chris. But whatever. Who cares? As long as they’re in a house and not in a tent with a broken freaking zipper.)
He’s also down to only one cat (Astroth) and the three turtles (they’ve gotten larger because he put them in a much bigger tank and I’m sure it won’t be long before he decides to get an even BIGGER tank to see just how big those things can get.) As far as I know, he has no girlfriend but there were some text messages from him indicating he was having difficulty texting some girl I’ve never heard of… hmmm I’ll have TW question him appropriately on that front next week when he is here – and we can watch him blush.
The boy has been “threatening” to get a motorcycle and though my so-called friend at the LYS tried to tell me he had done so (along with getting more tattoos) it turns out he’s purchased a bicycle instead. And he’s happily riding his bike from downtown (near GRU) to work everyday (not near GRU at all) and home again. He says it’s a great way to kill an extra hour everyday. (Ah to be young and in need of ways to kill time!)
The kid is very happy with his iPhone though he is disgruntled with iTunes for reasons that most of us are always disgruntled with iTunes. (Not being able to use more than one computer etc…) He’s also looking forward to visiting us next week.
There you have it – an update on the oh so boring middle boy child. Lee’s favorite.
And Sharon really loves shaking her cane at those crazy kids, too, when they’re on her sidewalk.
living in sin indeed, those 2 have been together longer than many, LOL…I love their plan, hate it didn’t work out, a bicycle is much more dangeous than a bike tho…just encourage a helmut either way…oh my favorite, give him a big hug for me, LOL
And the 1/2 child got a scooter! It’s not pink (Quote: People already think Chris and I are gay. Let’s not give them more reason.), and I haven’t had a chance to scoot around the parking lot on it, so it’s not bonafide yet, but he wears a helmet like a good boy. And Lorena got to meet *his* new girlfriend.
