Cthute

[lydy]

Like many geeks and techies, my sweetie, David, has a very flat affect. It's usually something that I treasure. There simply is no psychodrama around him. He's utterly rock-like, even in circumstances where it is most infuriating. He's about as sentimental as a spider. When I found him being cute and sweet to my two kittens, I was enthralled. Turns out, David is as bad a cat wimp as I am, or any other person in the house. He talks to the kittens (now two years old), saying things like, "Oh, look at the fine Naomi. The finest Naomi in the whole house. What a fine kitten belly. Such soft fur. Such a good Naomi, with such fine whiskers." I've taken to using many of the same phrases, myself.

A while ago, we were sitting in bed. He was reading, I was dicking around on my laptop. It wasn't too long after Minicon, where I'd bought a strange plushie -- a plush Cthulu.. The plushie was sitting on my pillow, and David picked it up. He stroked it (it really does have a very fine, plush pelt) and said, "Oh, look at the fine Cthulu. Such a great, green Cthulu. Such a fine elder god, yes, the finest elder god in the whole house. Such tentacles he has. Long and wobbly, yes, the finest tentacles any elder god ever had."

Somewhere in there I fell over, I was laughing so hard.

Ha ha ha. You have been known to tell me I didn't train him right, but those are MY cat-phrases, with, of course, Davidian modifications.

May I please link to this, Lydy dear? It is just too funny not to share.

But of course, dear.

I'm a bit baffled by the custom of asking if it's ok to link to something. It seems to me that if I've written something and put it out in the e-world, then that is one of the probable outcomes.

I am, however, not responsible for any keyboards, sinuses, or lungs which are damaged because of your links.

Thank you for that image.

Little Cthulhus also respond well to being 'Teekelili-ed'

I blame this post for the prolonged dream I had last night in which David turned out to be the Messiah, and his disgust at this idea was exceeded only by your own.

Oh, dear. Isn't there some story about David and Steve Brust that relates to this? About when they met, or some such?

Teeheeheehee -- I do not have the words to say how perfect that is!
