Ariel: Do you think we have writer's block?
Sasha: What? Why would I think that?
Ariel: Well, I mean, it's been so long since we blogged any experiences, I feel like maybe that means we have writer's block. Or blogger's block. Or maybe it's blogger's blogk in that case?
Sasha: Sometimes I just don't get you, Aers.
Ariel: What do you mean?
Sasha: I mean, come on. What is your defining characteristic?
Ariel: I'm ... nice?
Sasha: Besides that.
Ariel: I'm a little ditzy?
Sasha: How could it be your defining characteristic if you're only "a little" that way?
Ariel: Well I give up then. This is too much work.
Sasha: There it is! You're laaaazy.
Ariel: I mean ... okay, I'm kinda lazy, but I'm not that lazy! It's not my defining characteristic!
Sasha: Laaaazy.
Ariel: You don't have to say it with so many A's! I'm not ... that many A's worth of lazy!
Sasha: Oh, please, you were too lazy just now to even count them.
Ariel: Was not!
Sasha: Were too.
Ariel: Was not! Can we stop arguing about this please?
Sasha: What, are you tired of arguing about it?
Ariel: Grr!
Sasha: Really? Only two R's in that growl? And you didn't even capitalize them?
Ariel: OKAY! I'M LAZY!
Sasha: Calm down, sheesh. You're lazy in a very endearing way, Aers. I'm just trying to point out that if we haven't blogged together in a few months, there's an easy explanation sitting right there before you need to start looking at whether we have writer's block.
Ariel: That sounds like you're blaming it all on me.
Sasha: No, I'm just saying "we" don't have writer's block. You're just lazy and I've just been kinda kicking back and enjoying things lately. But they're same-old, same-old things, so no real reason to blog about experiencing them, you know?
Ariel: Well ... well, we've been experiencing the whole pandemic thing! That's not same-old, same-old.
Sasha: Uh, yeah it is. It was same-old, same-old by the second or third week. YAWN. Who would want to read about us experiencing being stuck in a house all the time?
Ariel: I dunno. Somebody. Maybe we're doing it different from how they're all doing it.
Sasha: Great! So there's your topic. Let's blog about experiencing the pandemic super-differently from how everybody else is experiencing it. Ready, set ... go!
Ariel: What, now? I'm worn out from all the arguing.
Sasha: See? L. A. Z. Y.
Ariel: Whatever. I'm going to bed.
Sasha: Gonna put some Z's in lay-Z?
Ariel: Or maybe I'm gonna do some same-old, same-old with somebody who's not calling me lazy all the time!
Sasha: You're going to go all the way to bed to do same-old, same-old with someone else when you've got a spicy little girlfriend right here? I could be saming your old or olding your same way quicker than you could get anybody else to. You wouldn't even have to leave the room.
Ariel: You're just trying to prove I'm too lazy to stick to my guns and show you what's what.
Sasha: Okay, have it your way. Enjoy going and finding one of our polys and asking them if they want to and getting them to the bed and taking off everybody's clothes and --
Ariel: Ha! You're trying to make that sound like too much work, but all it's doing is getting me hot! Total fail!
Sasha: Mm-hmm. That's what I was trying to do. Get you hot. Soooo hot. Burning for some same-old, same-old all over your same-old, same-old. Too bad it didn't work. It's sure got me all hot. I guess I'll just have to deal with that myself once you go in the other room.
Ariel: GRRR!
Sasha: Whoo, now that's a growl!
Ariel: I just want to say before we do anything that I'm NOT being lazy, you just got me too worked up!
Sasha: Sure Aers, you win. You're not being lazy at all. Now come on over here and show me how much energy you've got ... ya big block-head.
