I am happy to announce →[More:]

...that jonmc and Pips are getting back together! He's at Grand Central right now picking her up and they're going to spend the whole next day together.

...that I still hate NYS taxes, but I finished them tonight and I'm going to send them to my mom (who's an accountant) to have her look over them to see if there's anything I missed.

I think that's all from me for now.

wow!

Aah gossip. But is it a for definite or one of those reboundy style things?

Well, however things turn out I wish them both the very best.

Trish, are you OK, baby?

He sounded pretty confident about their chances on the phone. He even said that last Friday's drink up helped them see that things could be better between them.

jonmc and Pips can explain it better than I can. I just liked the idea of stealing their thunder. *smirk*

On preview: I'll be fine. I don't like airing any kind of dirty laundry anywhere (except in my locked LJ posts) but I will say on the record that after meeting up with agro and folks on Thursday, I'm going to have to go away for a while. But I'll definitely be around for the NYC Team Vag outing on the 21st and I'm still co-coordinating the Vegas meetup in September.

Pre-release hype usually sours the actual euphoria of release...

Duke Nukem Forever... <cough>

I can't even bring myself to feign surprise.

Me neither, but good luck all the same.

Anything that makes my man happy is a good thing, unless what makes him happy is flicking boogers at me.

Or, I'm glad to hear this good news!

First of all kudos to the inimitable miss trishalynn for stealing my thunder. By now she's probably pawned it to buy comic books.

In spite of ourselves, we worked it out. We got a lot of things to work on, but we'll be alright. Thanks to all of you guys for seeing me through my insanity, really.

posted by jonmc 05 April | 02:14

Yes. Lots to work out... we have to put together my tricycle.

Seriously, though, I feel priveleged to be included here, and I'm so happy to be home. For me, Jon is home.

posted by Pips 05 April | 02:21

This makes me want to cry, but I think I've done enough of that tonight.

I think I've spent even longer trying to correct my typos.

posted by TrishaLynn 05 April | 02:48

I'm glad you have the fit of each other.

posted by brujita 05 April | 03:11

Good for you jon and Pips! Now you have the fun times ahead. Enjoy.

posted by nomis 05 April | 04:18

Gah! I missed the part where you weren't together, and have been confused for days now.

NEVER do that to me again.!!!

Seriously, best wishes to you two kids. And two virtual sausage biscuits while I'm at it.

Does this mean you won't be moving in with thong lady? She'll still be coming to meetups, right?

posted by StickyCarpet 05 April | 08:06

StickyCarpet! :) :) :)

made me laugh today. yay!

Pleased for you, jon and pips; for a while there I was pretty sure NYC was just going to shrivel up and drop off into the deep Atlantic as a result of this rude molestation to the local area space-time continuum. (or Queens, at least, would just vaporize.) Try not to mess with the karmic climate like that again, 'k?

posted by taz 05 April | 08:22

Good work. Makes me happy. Pips has way too good of a smile and jon must be good for something.

Of course it's all due to me and my wisdom. I'm just like Dr. Phil except I don't have 80 billion dollars and I don't need to lowered feet first into a cage filled with dusted fighting cocks and late stage Syphilis suffering French libertines.

posted by Divine_Wino 05 April | 08:33

Does this increase or decrease my chances of leaving more late-night baked-out "man overboard" messages on Pips' machine?

It was really swell to meet you the other night, Pips, and I wish you both the best. Let's all get together again sometime! How 'bout the Beer Garden?

And on preview, all this talk of vaporizing Queens makes me shudder.

And on another preview, Divine_Wino, the Déguignet is awesome. I just read my favorite sentence ever:

"The scientists who worked out how to make rain should also work out how to keep it from falling on the potato and oat fields during June and July, and then neither the potatos nor the oats would be stricken by mold."

posted by Hugh Janus 05 April | 08:43

For me, Jon is home.

All together now: Awwwwwwww!

Good luck to both of you. : ) (and *hugs* TrishaLynn. I'll miss you around here!)

It gets even better Hugh.

Coolio.

Does this mean we will see you at more meetups, pips?

posted by gaspode 05 April | 09:21

I picture jon lifting pips up Officer and a Gentleman style and the two of them walking off into the sunset.

I'm really happy for you both.

posted by jrossi4r 05 April | 09:31

That's funny, I picture it as Pips picking up jonmc;-)

Didn't know you two had split, so I get the good news without ever having to had experience the bad. So yay! And all the best, you two...

TrishaLynn, sorry to hear you need a break, but I understand the feeling. Glad to hear it's a temporary break. And Pips & jonmc, congratulations!
