Love Is...

I know from experience that we're all a bunch of voyeurs. We like to look when no one knows we're looking. We like to watch when no one knows we're there. We like to take a peek and get away with it. Well, our fiendishly eloquent friend and fellow-blogger Azra is set to make a big comeback, and what better way to let you indulge in your favorite indoor activity than to grant you a behind-the-scenes moment with just the two of us? You like that, don't you? (The right answer is a resounding yes.)

Blue: Where is your blog????

Az: Sorry. Just changed it. Looking for congruency.

Blue: I understand.

Az: I miss you. And your sarcasm. So I'm making a concerted effort at a comeback.

Blue: Well, I've got plenty left, I assure you.

Az: Thank God for that.

Blue: Plenty. I LOVE sarcasm.

Az: LOL, I'll be sure to read everything I missed. I did a bit of work. Does it remind you of Bora Bora?

Blue: I saw that. There's a comeback looming! Plus you introduced me to Bora. I just stole it from you. Nothing but good intentions, obviously.

Az: LOL. This is the dream right there.

Blue: That's the one. Get yourself an avatar and I'll put you in that picture on the count of one.

Az: OK.

Blue: I'll tell you what... We need to write a sarcastic post together. You pick a topic. Love? Ouch. Doesn't have to be now. Just say when.

Az: Yes, I'm up for that. Whatever topic is fine by me. OK think of a topic and let me know... Love? Life? Or ASTRO Charts and star signs.

Blue: Whichever's the most painful.

Az: Hahaha!

Blue: Good one huh?

Az: Think I'm going to write about all three.

Blue: You're on a roll.

Az: Slap some butter on me and put me on the grill.

Blue: Hahaha! I wouldn't dare. I might not make it to heaven after all... Love is... (insert sarcastic comment right here).

Az: I'm already in hell so I'll take care of it hahaha!

Blue: Damn, Az.

Az: Ok, let's go for it.

Blue: Hell is... (insert sarcastic comment rrrright here).

Az: Life. Hell is life. Period. Hahaha!

Blue: Hahaha! The end.

Az: That's all folks.

Blue: It wasn't fun while it lasted!

Az: See ya, don't want to be ya.

Blue: Damn.

Az: Hahaha! Ok, so settled... first installment is... "Love is...".

Blue: So what is love? Love is...

Az: ....waiting for you to screw you over when you've given them your last piece of candy.

Blue: Ah, we're talking candy now. Well, let's see.... Love is like a box of chocolates. Too much of it will make you fat and pregnant hahaha!

Az: Hahaha!

Love is like roses. 

Roses are red. 

Violets are red. 

Bushes are red. 

Trees are red. 

I set your house on fire. 

(a sonnet) 

Blue: Hahahahahaha! I'm almost pissing my pants. Almost.

Az: Hahaha!

Blue: Wait a minute... Let me check. Yeah... almost hahaha!

Az: Hahaha! It's OK, I'll get you next time.

Blue: Finish this one for me: Love is a mystery.

Az: Love is a mystery. Love is a crime. On some street corners love is only a dime.

Blue: Hahaha! What are you drinking?

Az: It's the creative juices flowing spiked with some ginger for my throat.

Blue: I'm drinking ginger tea as I type this. I kid you not.

Az: Wow. Great minds, R. Great minds...

Blue: It's a fact.

Az: I had a squeeze of lemon in there too, come to think of it.

Blue: My mind is a lemon. Sour as heck. Hahaha!

Az: Hahaha! As long as it's not your heart.

Blue: Not yet!

Az: Great stuff!! I'm off to bed. Have an early morning. I hate working on Sundays.

Blue: I hate working... period.

Az: God, tell me about it.

Blue: Lazy-ass millennial snowflakes. Don't need God to tell you that!! Love is when you think you're special but the other person is blind.

Az: Love is when you want attention and the other person ignores you.

Blue: Ouch!

Az: I'm teaching the worst demographic known to man: 12 to 14 year olds.

Blue: That IS the worst demographic.

Az: Lord. They are either babies or know-it-alls. Drain the life out of me.

Blue: Love is when the train has left the station and you're not on it!

Az: Love is that one olive short of a martini.

Blue: Love is....

Az: ....never having to work again.

Blue: No, that's porn.

Az: Hahahahahaha!

Blue: Love is not...

Az: ....working on a Sunday morning.

Blue: It sure is. I'd call that true love.

Az: Hahaha.

Blue: Love is not...

Az: ...using the other person.

Blue: Well—

Az: ... unless they specifically ask for it!

Blue: Exactly hahaha! When love comes your way...

Az: ...make sure it's not indigestion.

Blue: Hahaha I'm officially pissing my pants. You are a dark shade of blue.

Az: That's the best thing you've ever said to me.

Blue: Don't remind me of the worst thing I've ever said to you!

Az: I won't. Because I can't remember myself hahaha!

Blue: Hahaha let's keep it that way. When love asks you for directions...

Az: ... you point them to the stars... They might not get there, but at least they'll get the hell out of your way.

Blue: Hahaha you are the best, do you know that?

Az: Second best thing you've ever said to me.

Blue: Well, don't make me blush now. Weren't you off to your bed?

Az: Yes, going now...

Blue: Sleep tight and kick them in the nuts!

Az: You too. Signing off, Captain. Chat tomorrow.

Blue: Not going anywhere.

P.S. Love Is...
helping your friends out.
