Save the Empire

This is my first post in about two months, primarily because Ansel started evaluating my blog in the real world (comments of the "that post was (un)funny" variety). This creates the need to be amusing because my work is being scrutinized. I have since removed the link to this blog from my Facebook profile, and no longer have any readers. I am therefore free to be as unfunny as I wish. Damn the Man(sel).

I skipped the Last Chance Dance last night to hang with Steph and her friend Keli, who just graduated from Trinity. Steph wants me to marry Keli, mostly so that she can marry his younger brother, Tonga. This sounds silly and complicated, but she's about 99 percent serious. The idea has its advantages: Keli's pretty hot (in addition to being musically gifted), and it would facilitate Steph's dating Tonga (a match of which I wholeheartedly approve; by way of explication, Keli used to be in love with Steph, so he won't completely approve of them until he's dating someone himself). On the negative side, I don't think Brian would go for the idea. This is all very Pride and Prejudice. (Speaking of which: Does anyone actually like that book? Besides doe-eyed English majors, that is? Blech.)
