The artistic meme

1. Open paint.
2. Close your eyes.
3. Draw a cat.


Since I pretty much excelled at that, I did a Riv as well. I opened my eyes to change the colors but I think I did pretty good. Door handles and everything.

It's...unisex?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

No, it isn't.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Well, maybe not originally. You can name a kid Cheese nowadays and no-one bats an eyelid.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

If you ever come by one of those is that what you plan to name it? Cheese?

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Cheese Vecchio? Hell no, I can do better than that. I think they're meant to be named after fruit these days.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

Maybe Cheese is the next trend. You'd be ahead of the curve.

One of Maria's kid's got a friend called Brie. I think it's short for Brianna though.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

Tame, even if it wasn't short for that. If you're gonna go that way, then you gotta go all in, like... Limburger or Gorgonzola. Parmigiano-Reggiano seems a bit cliche for an Italian.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

And mean. They gotta learn how to write it some day, remember. And Limburger's just asking to have a stinky kid. What about Stilton? That's not bad, 'cept with a name like that he sounds like he's grown up in Bel Air.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

No. Your imaginary kid's name is Parmigiano-Reggiano Stra Vecchio, end of discussion. So what if it can't manage to spell it till it's fifteen. Totally worth it.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

And when they're fifteen I'll make sure they know their Uncle Asher named them.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

Fine by me.

God, you want my imaginary kid to get beat up in the school yard, don't you?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

There's always home schooling.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Beat up in the school yard, or friendless and lonely. Hmm, which one do I pick? Which one do I pick...

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

Get a dog too. That'll cover the friend thing.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

And get fur all over my house? Are you a sadist? I don't want my kid growing up with a slobbering beast on four legs as their best friend and risk stunting their, y'know their...social skills and stuff. ...Did you grow up with animals as friends?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

Why? You notice a problem with my social skills and stuff?

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Your social skills are fine. Did you grow up with a slobbering beast on four legs as your best friend?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

My sister would rip your tongue out if she heard you say that.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Oh. I forgot about her. I guess if you didn't, you kinda do now.

This coming from the hamster whisperer.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Peter's not my best friend. And neither he nor Fraser slobber. Least not in public, anyway.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_classact_/]

Just in private, then?

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Well, Peter doesn't. I can't speak for Fraser though. His daughter kind of does so maybe it runs in the family.
