Jason and Katie are the gracious cousins who are letting me live with them (For a while? Indefinitely? Forever?). Some of the things they say really should go on t-shirts and bumper stickers. Jason suggested a “quote of the day” calendar.

Katie: “There are half-hearted Christians, why not half-hearted Satanists.”

That came on the tail end of a conversation about sacrificing goats and deciding it was more cost effective to buy one goat, cut it so it bleeds just enough for the sacrifice, stitch it up, and then use it again on next month’s sacrifice. Cheap Satanists. The back story for where the whole conversation on satanic worship started would make all of this only slightly less weird.*

Jason dropped his scoop of ice cream on the floor. He quickly picked it up and put it in the sink.

“You could eat that.”

Jason: “I could. And I could be lying naked on the chaise tomorrow when everyone comes home. I could. But I won’t.”

I went off to watch Stargate, traumatized. I started Season 9.


*And I'm definitely going to neglect to clarify my part in the conversation. I'll let her look like the freakshow.
