Confidante.

My friend and co-worker has been carefully monitoring my laser eye surgery recovery, because she’s scheduled to get the same procedure with the same doctor.

When she asked me what the worst thing about the procedure was, I wanted to make all the jokes about it that I’ve posted here, except, well, I couldn’t.  I couldn’t bring myself to scare her.

I mean, look at her. She’s practically a zygote. 

Hardy people of the sea.

So I told her something like “When the angels come the next day to gently lift up your eyelids and show you a beautiful and dazzling new world, sometimes the pixie dust gets in your eyes.”

I don’t think she bought it.

Nice jeans!  Where would one find a fine pair of jeans like that?  And are you jangling the change in your pocket in the picture?

I was going to say something, but you’re not IA, are you?

Did you warn her about the squinting? ‘Cause i can see from that picture that it is still affecting you.

Wow, Dirty Dan Sin, you are perceptive.  I thought only us women looked at that kind of stuff.  I’m impressed.

Um, no, men are very quick to look for that.  She is indeed married--and to a non-squinter, no less.

You’re just adorable.  That is all.

Actually, hopefulloser, I had some corrective surgery last year myself. It was a matter of life and death, given my lifestyle...this is what I see when I look at that picture.

Poor Greg!  You post a pic of yourself, and *see* what happens?!  Oh, wait...you’re having trouble seeing, aren’t you.

Also, very clever, DDS.

Dan, hee hee.

and Greg, you ARE adorable!  well, and handsome.

Posted by jenB  on  08/16  at  07:03 PM

Oh, right, totally.  As my husband intimates to me that “adorable” might not be the most masculine word to use for an attractive man, let me clarify that I meant it in the most studly, testosterone-loaded, bear-rasslin’, glass-eatin’, manly-man way possible.  RUGGEDLY adorable.

My main question is, did you ever get your hand out of your pocket?

Posted by EV  on  08/16  at  08:04 PM

What, no angels? I bet you’re gonna say the Easter Bunny and Santa aren’t real now too, huh?!

Dan, that’s awesome

Dan, shouldn’t you be recording more singles and playing with Photoshop less?

Posted by Greg  on  08/17  at  09:28 AM

what is the best way to indicate that you are walking away slowly making the downward version of the wild and crazy guy fingers?

Posted by Dirty Dan Sin  on  08/17  at  09:43 AM

oh good. lie to her. she’ll appreciate that a whole lot when it’s all over. bad greg. bad! you should have told her the truth about the bandages and the this and that. that way she can lay in bed with the bandages over her eyes and think about you and how honest and pure you are.
