Dejunking / Wet Dream

Slowly She Bangs Her Head Against a Wall Aargh! Will and I have been trying to dejunk our home and it's been crazy. It's really sad to realise that a conversation below is almost exactly like other conversations we've had every day last two weeks: Me: You want this? *waves an old schoolbook* Will: Yeah. Me: OK. *throws it into a childhood box* Will: Keep or toss? *holds up a novel* Me: Keep! Will: How many books you have so far? Do you need them all? Me: *stony stare* Will: OK. *puts the novel in M's box* Me: This? *holds up Will's box of receipts, train tickets, plane tickets, etc.* Will: Ah, where was that? Me: Uh, it was here in the drawer. Will: Jo [his accountant] wants that. Put it in my car. Me: I'll do it later. Will: *distracted* OK. Me: Oh, look! *holds up a photo of teenaged Will* Your hair! *laughing* Will: What? Me: *holds up the photo higher* Will: *winces* Bin it. Me: No. I like it. *tosses it into a box of photos* Will: What the ... ? Is it yours? *holds up a certain sex aid* Me: Oh, my. That's Louise's! She's been looking for that. Will: What is it doing here? Me: It's probably from that party we had a while ago. I can't remember when. Will: Christ. *tosses it into a dustbin* Me: But -- Will: What's that? Me: It's my school tie. Will: Do you need it? Me: No, but if you are keeping your school book, I'm keeping this. Will: Bin both. Me: Yeah, but -- Will: This place is full of junk. We have to be tough. Me: Oh, right? So does that mean you're willing to bin your vinyl collection? Will: It's not junk! Me: If you say so ... Will: You looking for a fight? Me: No! I just don't think it's fair that I have to get rid of a lot of my stuff when you get to keep almost all yours. Will: ... I think I have a headache. It's been like almost every day last two weeks, squabbling over what we can keep or should bin. But on the bright side, the place does look a bit better. I think the progress is going extremely well. By that, I mean we haven't throttled each other nor demanded a divorce. A Reader's Wet Dream I almost keeled over with ecstasy when I stumbled across a new author group blog: Well Behaved At All Times, which features three authors: Anne Stuart, Jennifer Crusie, and Eileen Dreyer [aka Kathleen Korbel]. It seems that the blog was set up to chart their progress of writing The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes, an anthology featuring three sisters with paranormal powers and more than normal problems. Pardon me for being shallow, but those three authors in one book? I'm there already. Favourite Link: Tube Gossip
