[internet cafe] I'm resisting the italics of sarcasm

Tosh had an idea when I came in this morning: I should take some vocabulary and maths aptitude tests now, and again after I change back, to test if male brains and female brains work differently. And I get the sense that's just the beginning of the tests she'd like to run on me.

. . . I want to hide down in the archives for a bit. I mean, I'll do them, but I'm not wild about feeling like a lab monkey. I'm still me, dammit.

Told ya.

Hard evidence still trumps puppy dog eyes and a halo aura, though~

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

<-- isn't this hard enough for you?

...no double entendre intended. Really.

[legofortress.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately for you, my job requires that I be steely-hearted to all feigned expressions of innocence. Except Matt's.

It's a very good face though, and I'm sure anyone without my years of training would find "it" very hard indeed~

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

I laugh at your training in the presence of my babyfaced innocence. There's a reason the girls thought they had to protect me while I was a girl--I look like I need it.

[legofortress.livejournal.com]

But firstly, you're not a girl any longer, and secondly... I think you underestimate the hardness of my heart. Besides, your baby-faced innocence has nothing on mine. I'm younger, and smaller, and as we've already established, I'm quite useless at being anything other than innocent... So I have that in addition to my evidence.

I'm afraid this is one fight you're not going to win...

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

Damn. I'd rather hoped your heart was squishy and malleable.

Youth will only get you so far.

Stone and ice, I'm afraid. I'm a biological curiosity. :D

I've also got big eyes, white hair, and I'm not above pouting.

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

Does it hurt, the stone and ice?

[legofortress.livejournal.com]

Not really; I'm quite accustomed to it by now.

And I think it helps my sense of balance.

...I do get awfully chilly in the winter, though.

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

I imagine it would, you being cold-blooded and all.

[legofortress.livejournal.com]

Indeed. There's underfloor heating in the new house, though, so I'm sure I'll be fine this winter. I can just stretch out on the tiles like a lizard~

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

Mm, sleeping on tile . . . you live the high life.
