Louise and I were talking earlier this evening, before I left work. We were discussing the grand opening of the New Seattle Public Library’s main branch, on May 23rd.
Me: we should go to that.
Louise: oh yes, we should. Because we are just that book geeky. [Louise breaks into her Milton impersonation] The ratio of books to Louises is too big.
Me: [bringing my hands up to hide my face and breaking into my impersonation of… well, me being a tard] yes, but i don’t like the people. i like the books!!
Louise, laughing: How come everyone I am friends with does a good fake tard impersonation?
Me: faux-tard?
Louise: yes, exactly.
Me: because you are a faux-tard magnet.
And then I realized I have just made up the best word ever!! Or at least the best word in quite some time. And, what’s even better is, it sounds like a photoshop filter. “Oh sure, that’s a good picture of him now, but look what happens when we run him through the faux-tard filter.”
And we were serious about going to the grand opening of the new main branch of the Seattle Public Library. Because we really are that book geeky. And library geeky, specifically.
