Melissa flew back this

ADVENTURES_IN_AFFECTION.jpg

Melissa flew back this morning. Her six days out here we good.

Highlights include:

1. Melissa locking us out of the apartment. Lots of fun. A brick remedied the predicament, as handled by one Scott Sullivan. We broke a window, unlatched it and I slithered through.

2. Treasure shopping around Portland. Melissa picked up a “Luck-O’-The-Irish” kelly green sport suit (pictured above in the affectionate “Oh-kye Deathgrip”) at a little shop in the Clinton district. Melissa has a keen eye, and believe me, there is no rest for the wicked when she gets something in her sights.

3. Wrastlin’ on the couch. (And hey, in the name of real estate. Settle down truckers.) See, Melissa has a tendency to “hog” the bed, the closet and the couch. I put up a mean fight for my space and won’t give in until my girth is comfortable and well represented.

4. Multiple battles of wits.

I already miss her. So good to have her out here. She’s gonna get her affairs in order back home, readying herself for her triumphant return in May. Much excitement. Big plans. Big contracts. Bigger promises.

Man, Aaron. You just bring a piitter pat to my heart and a tear to my sentimental eyes. Your “Melissa” highlights are getting almost as sappy and lovey as my paintings. I bet all the ladies are swooning for the Draplin brand of affection and obsessiveness that you are so openly displaying to your girly. Are you getting married?

Man. Even Kurt’s calling you a sap, Drap… you’re breaking my heart here in cyberspace. Fuckin’ “Unchained Melody” and shit.

Hand me the kleenex.

Did Melissa bring a friend that you didn’t mention in the sappy recap of events? I don’t see a Draplin male being much of an opponent in a “battle of wits”.

I look forward to more puppy love updates. Congrats!

Did Melissa bring a friend to this battle that you failed to mention in your sappy recap of events? I don’t think a Draplin male would be much of an opponent in a “battle of wits”.

I look forward to reading about future puppy love moments. Congrats!

Hey, you growin’ a beard there Leathermaster? Did you know that Kurt probably CAN’T even GROW a beard? That’s what I’ve heard on the Innernet anyways.
