You sure you don't mistake me for one of them sparkly vampires?

Thanks, Pippa! That's certainly something to wake up to!

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

I thought it was pretty and cheerful and well, PRETTY.

You're welcome. I'd offer you birthday hugs and kisses but distance being what it is...you'll have to settle for the sentiment instead.

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

It is! Just making sure!

Heh, thank you! I do appreciate it.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. Do you have any plans to celebrate?

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

No, nothing in particular. I guess a beer somewhere and then watching some game. We're not that big on celebrations, I guess.

I-- huh. What's a good way that you've celebrated your birthday?

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

I don't.

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

Not ever? Not even as a kid?

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

As a child, my birthday parties were catered affairs filled with my father's business partners, my mother's bridge partners and children chaperoned by their nannies. Would you like someone to throw you a formal tea party? Perhaps a nice polo match.

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

Huh. I don't think I'll be able to gather the right crowd for that? I mean, not like I can ride or anything. Other than a motorbike, a couple of times, but I do prefer my car.

And here I thought Sam and I got short-changed, that way.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

I really miss riding on the back of Ro's bike. I miss horseback riding with him too.

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry.

Maybe you could get him to organize a polo game, make pictures, and send you some? Which is the most absurd suggestion I could come up with, and I know it.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

Ro doesn't play polo that I know of.

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

Okay, that didn't work.

But yeah, no. Tea party and polo game after? Not exactly my thing. Most likely I'd end up being kicked out of the whole affair.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

Then I suggest you book a venue that isn't on Long Island's north shore.

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

Well, good thing we're in the mid-West rather than up there, then, right?

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

Frankly, I'd be shocked if you were ever in Lloyd Neck Harbor.

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

Haven't been so far, and for the sake of its residents, I kinda hope I don't have to show up? Or something like that.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

Think the unrefined boy would scare the socialites?

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

Hmm? And yeah, it's been known to happen. I don't get along with that breed - Sam's got better luck, usually, unless I'm there to cloud up the picture.

Socialites, huh?

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

So you don't think we get along?

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

Nah, we're just pretending, in case somebody's watching.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

I see.

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

Oh come on. I'm just fooling around. Sure we get along, and I'm grateful for it - the more the merrier. It's just that usually tend to piss off socialites in naught point five seconds. One could accuse me of doing it for the crack alone, but I swear that's not it!

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

I don't consider myself a socialite. That's somewhat difficult to do when waiting tables in a little bar on Staten Island. But you said "that breed" as if suddenly people should be shunned because of where they were born and raised.

That's rude.

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

Well, I do that. Being rude, I mean. Maybe that's why some people don't like me. And the disgust, and the loathing, I'm there to save their sorry asses, but, no, I'm just a rude unpolished guy in jeans and dusty car, so of course, they need nothing of me...

Make no mistake, I don't take them for not people. Or worse people, or people to be shunned, or people that I'd do any less to help, if there's a case where I need to. And I apologize if it sounded like that.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

Why be intentionally rude? Don't you want people to like you?

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

Not intentionally, no. Just most of the time I don't think on it either way. And as a rule, we don't stay anywhere long enough that anybody liking me or not would make any difference. I mean, staying somewhere a couple of weeks? That's long, by our standards.
