Wait, what?

lonescorpion accompanied my parents and me to a small tree-trimming gathering at our neighbor's house. It was nice, there was wine and cheese and enough ornaments on that tree that I'm surprised it didn't collapse under its own weight, but it also contained our host's mother.

We shook hands, and then I had the bad judgement to introduce lonescorpion with "And this is Mikki--"

To which she happily responded "Seiber! Well done!"

After that I was careful to go with "This is my friend, Mikki." Although even if we had been dating that was a seriously bizarre thing to say.

ALANA SAID I SHOULD BRING UP I AM WRITING SWEEPS INTO TFA

THEY ARE (undead)PIRATES(crew)

SHE SAID YOU MIGHT LIKE THAT IDK

O_O Clearly one of you has inherited Koi's "appear to be dating anyone you stand next to" curse! Although which one, I'm not sure... you'll both have to stand next to people in the presence of randomly selected observers, and test it...

[lunatron.livejournal.com]

Or have both of them stand next to Koi and see if the curse intensifies!

Admittedly, a return from foreign climes with an attractive male acquaintance can be interpreted in such ways. Especially by older women with an eye to people making grandchildren.

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

YES YES PLZ MORE SWEEPS ARE BETTER.

ESPECIALLY WITH PIRATES.

UNDEAD I AM NEUTRAL UPON UNTIL MORE INFORMATION FORTHCOMES.

WELL YOU KNOW THE DEAD UNIVERSE RIGHT FROM IDW

AND YOU KNOW THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN FLYING DUTCHMAN

APPARENTLY I'VE COMBINED THEM

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

ONLY KINDA FOR THE FIRST BUT YEAH.

OKAY RIGHT NEED TO SEE THIS. IS IT SUPER DEPRESSING, THOUGH?

The worst of that one was when I was having dinner with one of my parents :: wince ::

[koilungfish.livejournal.com]

I dunno. I don't think anyone's ever assumed I was dating Mikki ...

[koilungfish.livejournal.com]

Hah. On seeing this post, I raised my head and said to Rath "Oh hey, Mikki just got mistaken for Seiber's girlfriend!". Oops ^_^

Someone at the guitar store did call him ma'am, but I think the guy was just distracted.

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh dear.

[koilungfish.livejournal.com]

We have the same eyebrows and everything!

[koilungfish.livejournal.com]

I keep reading that as "someone at the air-guitar store" :: sporfle ::

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

Eyebrows make you romantically compatible? Makes as much sense as altmodes...

[koilungfish.livejournal.com]

No, I mean I very clearly inherited my eyes and eyebrows from the parent I was with.

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

...

*goes back and rereads that*

You mean you were mistaken for your parent's paramour?

[koilungfish.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's what I said.

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

That's scary.

[koilungfish.livejournal.com]

Doubly so, given that the barmaid in question knew my father quite well and had met me several times before!

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

Perhaps someone had been sampling the wares a bit too much that night.

[koilungfish.livejournal.com]

It was lunchtime.

[clowderheart.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwkward.

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

It wasn't the last time that week it happened, either.

[clowderheart.livejournal.com]

Oh. Oh dear.

[seiberwing.livejournal.com]

Oddly enough, the one who didn't was my grandmother. Who is desperate for me to hook up with someone (I think at this point she'd settle for a nonJew).
