(readers should bear in mind that we are not loons. we are creative. there is a very fine line between the two, and we have not crossed it yet. and yes, this is fiction)
we have a house. a nice big one.
and neil is over for tea. we like neil. he's smart. he's funny. he wears a lot of black. he would be fun to have over for tea. so he's in our house, sitting at the kitchen table, being smart and funny and wearing a lot of black.
jarvis is over for tea, too. like neil, jarvis is smart and funny. unlike neil, jarvis does not wear a lot of black. he wears swank vintage threads. he would be fun to have over for tea. so neil and jarvis are in our house, sitting at our kitchen table being smart and funny and wearing a lot of black and swank vintage threads, respectively. they are having a smart and funny conversation, which more often than not cross over into witty. laura and i like talking with them. sometimes neil shows us a new poem he's written. sometimes jarvis plays us a song he's working on.
it's very nice.
some people have big scary monsters under their beds. laura and i don't.
we have Pop Stars*.
laura and i have fluffytops under our beds. fluffytops are good at putting on make up, whinging, and changing their haircuts to keep the kiddies on their toes. our fluffytops spend most of their time complaining about how there isn't enough light under the beds to do their makeup. they also wear a lot of black. we keep them under the bed because no one in her right mind would want a fluffytop running rampant in her home.
they don't get to have tea with neil and jarvis.
some people also have monster in their closets. laura and i don't.
we have Pop Stars* there, too.
laura and i have morrisseys in our closets. every morning when we get up, we open our closets and our morrisseys hand us black clothes and quote oscar wilde. (though sometimes they do quote smiths lyrics, 'i wear black on the outside because black is how i feel on the inside.') more often than not we say, 'no, moz. i don't want to wear black today.' and then the morrisseys go all melancholy, which makes us sad. but not too sad; a melancholy moz is a healthy moz.
laura and i have a guest bathroom, which is always occupied.
that's where brett lives.
brett spends his time fixing his hair and changing his outfits. laura and i don't mind. he looks very nice in most of his hair styles and clothes. that bathroom was built especially for him, with all sorts of racks and shelves for his clothes and hair products. we made sure there were plenty of mirrors too. he likes the mirrors. sometimes brett leaves the bathroom and prances up and down the hallway. it's very cute when he does.
the garage is always full of people. that's where belle and sebastian live.
yup. the whole band. it's a very big garage.
when they aren't practising their songs, they like to hang out and talk about books (especially the bible) and music. sometimes one or two of them will come in and have tea with neil and jarvis. that's always nice for everyone because they are all such smart people. and cute.
the whole band is cute.
that's our house. we like it well enough, although sometimes it's hard to sleep what with all the complaining from the fluffytops.
