We're on board our supposedly cancelled flight and awaiting take off. Case thought it would be fun to do a 10 things we learned about each other. You get all the benefits. We'll try to keep it clean.
Steven:
1. She can sleep anywhere, anytime, in any position. Most likely her mouth will be open. She doesn't like being photographed at this time. Haven't figured out why yet.
2. She has everything you'll ever want or need. With her. Everywhere. She possesses multiple magical bags of holding.
3. Her freezer is broken. If you remind her of this fact she'll grunt and run for water. Oh wait. That's a grass cutter. KC just puts her head down on the table in defeat.
4. When she sunburns you can cook eggs on her legs and forehead.
5. KC sings waltzes and orchestral suites when in elevated areas when death is possible. Seems to be the same time you should never trust an Australian?
6. She's not turned on by eastern European accents. We never got to decide what accent did.
7. I kind of already knew this but KC has all the music you'll ever want or need. And it's always good and mostly appropriate. Except when depressing Bon Iver songs come on in the midst of exciting card games.
8. KC needs to start living like she did in college. She did some crazy stuff in college. She needs more of that.
9. KC uses her arms to pretend to be things. Mostly windows, doors and cacti. And making fun of really crazy people. That seems to be the bulk of her repertoire.
10. KC likes to talk about wearing no pants. She likes trying to convince other people and saying she should herself. She doesn't ever do it though. I think she needs more encouragement. We should all make that happen.
Casey:
Well, amazingly, Steven and I are still getting along, traveling smoothly together, and even still laughing at each other's jokes. We have shared seats on the bus, beer, biscuits, bathrooms, and pretty much everything else that could lead two people to kill each other after two weeks of travel. Happy to report, we are both still very
much alive.
So here are ten interesting things that I have learned about Steven on this trip:
1. He tans as much as I burn. The back of his neck is almost the same
color as his hair at this point!
2. Steven really, really loves music from every cheesy teenage girl
show (think Dawson's Creek)
It's true. His iPod is full of it. He was even able to identify, upon request, the Grey's Anatomy episode and scene from which a song came.
3. Steven HATES mosquitos. He was all about closing doors and checking screens
4. Steven can headbutt a soccer ball. Wait, is it headball a soccer ball? Obviously, I haven't mastered soccer .. I mean football... terminology
5. Steven has a gnarly scar on his leg that I just found out happened in some convoluted altercation between his bike and two cars. It's pretty tough-looking.
6. Steven loves British biscuits of any kind, but his favorite are called Hobnobs.
7. Steven prefers a small trowel. That's all I am going to say about that.
8. Steven wears a Swatch watch. I thought those were a relic of the 80's. I was "proven wrong". He also sometimes wears pegged, stonewashed jeans with his Swatch. (okay, now I am kidding)
9. Steven likes to try strange and sometimes disgusting drinks, like K20 whiskey-in-a-sachet and Ghanaian lemon Fanta that is a trippy chartreuse color. He also makes funny faces as soon as he swallows these concoctions and realizes that no liquid that you put in your mouth should be chartreuse.
10. Steven is an acupuncturist who will admit that he doesn't know exactly how or why sticking needles in people makes them feel better or have more babies. This was acceptable to the other guys on our Habitat team until they found out that he sometimes puts needles near men's ... junk... then they were not okay with it anymore
There you go. 10 things that you may or may not have known about my
wonderful and hard-working Habitat companion.
