Plot twist: She's already a lamp and this is inception

But the real Chad response would be: "Listen, as long as you light up my life..."

Oh man, lets play in that space! I have several questions:

• Are you some kind of magic lamp that I can talk to that will respond?
• If you're responsive, are you the same person as you are now, but in lamp form, or are you a different person?
• We're you always a lamp or were you transformed by some kind of wizard curse?
• If you were a lamp before we met, how did we meet?
• what was our first date like?
• Am I a lamp too? If so, was I also turned into one from a wizard curse?

"As long as there's no follow-up questions, yes."

"I would love you more"

Kiss her on the forehead.

Leave the room before she processes what just happened.

the lesson of the moth by archy

The character of Archy, created by Don Marquis in 1916, was a cockroach who had been a poet in a previous incarnation. To write he must leap headfirst onto the keys of a typewriter, and thus is unable to capitalize his letters.

i was talking to a moth
\ the other evening
\ he was trying to break into
\ an electric light bulb
\ and fry himself on the wires

why do you fellows
\ pull this stunt i asked him
\ because it is the conventional
\ thing for moths or why
\ if that had been an uncovered
\ candle instead of an electric
\ light bulb you would
\ now be a small unsightly cinder
\ have you no sense

plenty of it he answered
\ but at times we get tired
\ of using it
\ we get bored with the routine
\ and crave beauty
\ and excitement
\ fire is beautiful
\ and we know that if we get
\ too close it will kill us
\ but what does that matter
\ it is better to be happy
\ for a moment
\ and be burned up with beauty
\ than to live a long time
\ and be bored all the while
\ so we wad all our life up
\ into one little roll
\ and then we shoot the roll
\ that is what life is for
\ it is better to be a part of beauty
\ for one instant and then to cease to
\ exist than to exist forever
\ and never be a part of beauty
\ our attitude toward life
\ is to come easy go easy
\ we are like human beings
\ used to be before they became
\ too civilized to enjoy themselves

and before i could argue him
\ out of his philosophy
\ he went and immolated himself
\ on a patent cigar lighter
\ i do not agree with him
\ myself i would rather have
\ half the happiness and twice
\ the longevity

but at the same time i wish
\ there was something i wanted
\ as badly as he wanted to fry himself

Sometimes I wonder if this sort of question is like an instinctual parental fitness test. Kids ask all sorts of wild questions, maybe this is a test to see if you can navigate that kind of question with tact.

Very strange build-up for sexy time.
