Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Oooh, I was going to go to Ikea for new bookshelves (seriously, we literally can't rearrange the living room because the bookshelves my dad made me when I was 7 [yup, I've had the same bookshelves for 34 years] are too fucking big), but maybe I'll just get a whole bunch of Batshelves and put them EVERYWHERE!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I do want to (well, I'd be fine with us jumping right to being married), but I got the feeling from him that he wants to be the one to ask. Even though he's SLOW AS HELL.

Will that also be the case between proposal and wedding? Because you're part of this too. You don't have to be 100% on his taking-his-time schedule.

Oh, crap. I just remembered how much his dad will lose his shit if we don't get married in a church. Ideally, the Catholic church. Super ideally, HIS freaky parish which teaches things like Your Salvation Is Dependent On Getting Your Children To Come Back To The Church (THIS Church).

...huh. Staying shacked up actually seems WAY better in the face of that.

He'll get over it. I suspect my parents have seriously glossed over in their memories all the drama they caused during my sister's wedding (to the Old Black Muslim). Threatened to not come, etc....but in the end, no priest, no Catholocism, and they were there, paid for some of it, and these days act like he's just fine by them. (Insert serious eye-roll)

If he got over the divorce, and the up-shacking...

I wonder if you go to Vegas to elope, is there a Batman chapel? I would be so down for that.

Heh. Fair point. I think in his mind, he's just biding his time and playing a long game to get us all Catholic and whatnot again.

I love how I started out lamenting that Tim didn't propose, and now I'm suddenly planning my drive-thru Vegas Batman non-Catholic elopement.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Hey, I can legally marry people! You could come to SF or meet me in Vegas and we can create our own BatChapel.

I'd suggest calling an Elvis chapel and asking if they know Batman.

Hey, get married by Batman and Elvis!

(Friends of mine got married in Vegas by Elvis. It was lots of fun.)
