mister difranco (9:38:22 PM): i just thought of a great movie
mister difranco (9:38:26 PM): "a very castle christmas"
mister difranco (9:38:34 PM): it would be a comedy, but also secretly a drama
mister difranco (9:38:43 PM): well, maybe not secretly
mister difranco (9:38:47 PM): but it would proabbly be a pretty good movie
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:39:39 PM): hahah yeah you're probably right
mister difranco (9:39:54 PM): your family would be a really good movie family
mister difranco (9:40:08 PM): now that i think about it
mister difranco (9:40:09 PM): heck
mister difranco (9:40:13 PM): you could even have your own sitcom.
mister difranco (9:41:39 PM): kind of like roseanne
mister difranco (9:41:43 PM): moderately dramatic
mister difranco (9:41:46 PM): pretty funny
mister difranco (9:41:49 PM): and subtly satirical
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:42:05 PM): i dont think it would be subtle
mister difranco (9:42:10 PM): i hope that's not offensive, it's not supposed to be
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:42:13 PM): i think it would be open sarcasm
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:42:21 PM): no its not, my family is crazy
mister difranco (9:42:23 PM): not sarcastic, satirical
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:42:29 PM): and you understand, so i'm not offended
mister difranco (9:42:39 PM): but like...also suprisingly normal
mister difranco (9:42:43 PM): that's where the satire comes in
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:42:45 PM): yeah its gross
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:42:50 PM): right
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:42:57 PM): honestly i dont understand them
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:43:01 PM): they're all so... NORMAL
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:43:04 PM): it makes me want to die
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:43:35 PM): my dads like the humorous, super sensitive/bitchy/senial crybaby alcoholic father
mister difranco (9:43:51 PM): but he's also like....adorable
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:44:05 PM): my sister is the camp counselor/teacher/GAP representative/benign homosexual
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:44:15 PM): hes only psuedo adorable
mister difranco (9:44:35 PM): the more i think about it, the better of a show i think this could be
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:44:37 PM): or maybe not psuedo but definitly not wholely adorable
mister difranco (9:44:56 PM): but like the dad on roseanne
mister difranco (9:45:12 PM): like, under all of the bad stuff and the good stuff and the neutral stuff
mister difranco (9:45:14 PM): he's adorable!
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:45:23 PM): jack is the ultra conservative catholic high powered capitalist with seriosly gay tendencies
mister difranco (9:45:41 PM): i think dads are like that paper that's black that you scratch it off and there's color underneat
mister difranco (9:45:42 PM): h
mister difranco (9:45:53 PM): like, they're pretty similar on the whole
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:45:59 PM): and is totally ocd and high strung/the perfect baby/total alcoholic frat
mister difranco (9:45:59 PM): it's just how you scratch them off that makes them different
mister difranco (9:46:01 PM): that was so lame
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:46:04 PM): hhahahahha
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:46:09 PM): that metaphor?
mister difranco (9:46:16 PM): yeah
mister difranco (9:46:20 PM): jack's the all-american boy
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:46:22 PM): yeah it was pretty bad
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:46:28 PM): yes the new kind of patriot
mister difranco (9:46:28 PM): it was good!
mister difranco (9:46:30 PM): it was just lame
mister difranco (9:46:34 PM): it illustrated my point
mister difranco (9:46:37 PM): it was just mushy
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:46:39 PM): lol yes it did do that
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:46:52 PM): mushy... like cereal
mister difranco (9:47:00 PM): i see your mom as like a cohesive force
mister difranco (9:47:14 PM): i guess i really just want your family to be like roseanne
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:47:19 PM): she's actually a secrative bitch
mister difranco (9:47:22 PM): i relaly like roseanne
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:47:26 PM): haha
mister difranco (9:47:27 PM): well roseanne is a bitch@
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:47:30 PM): my family is not roseanne
mister difranco (9:47:32 PM): but at the same time, she keeps everyone in line
mister difranco (9:47:34 PM): i know....
mister difranco (9:47:35 PM): i just
mister difranco (9:47:36 PM): i like roseanne.
mister difranco (9:48:09 PM): there are a handful of paralels that would make the castles a sitcom sort of like a modern day roseanne with different archetype characters
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:48:18 PM): sort of. but my mom is like the feminist going back for her ph.d in psychology who doesnt understand the first thing about the real life issues, let alone when they surface in her children
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:49:05 PM): aka, me, the one who alwasy singlehandedly ruins every holiday, family dinner, get together of any kind with ease
mister difranco (9:49:36 PM): but like, i dont think you really ruin it
mister difranco (9:49:41 PM): it's like youre the scapegoat
mister difranco (9:49:44 PM): the counterculture child
mister difranco (9:49:46 PM): the darlene
mister difranco (9:49:53 PM): a.k.a the best character.
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:49:57 PM): i am the scapegoat, and it sucks
mister difranco (9:50:12 PM): :-(
[segment on how my christmas eve sucked]
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:54:55 PM): my family would make a great basis for a sitcom, you're right.
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:55:11 PM): i hope sony recognizes our potential
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:55:13 PM): or something
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:55:16 PM): pbs
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:55:18 PM): i dunno
mister difranco (9:56:46 PM): :-(
mister difranco (9:57:00 PM): in other sitcom plot type things
mister difranco (9:57:05 PM): i got three scarves for christmas
mister difranco (9:57:16 PM): while i was literally just finishing a scarf i was making for myself
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:57:42 PM): thats funny
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:58:57 PM): i got a pajama set that included a cardigan/camisol type thing, a satin spaghetti strap shirt to go under it, and powder blue scottish terrier pants
mister difranco (9:59:25 PM): i can't see you ever wearing that
CaFFiEnE0182 (9:59:31 PM): yeah, obviously
CaFFiEnE0182 (10:02:46 PM): i mean pjs are nice, i just want something i can wear without looking totally ridiculous
mister difranco (10:03:14 PM): don't get a shirt that's green and darker green striped with 3 buttons

CaFFiEnE0182 (10:05:44 PM): actually loryn and i were thinking that there needs to be a clothing line for kids like us
CaFFiEnE0182 (10:05:59 PM): you know, uh, crossdressers.
CaFFiEnE0182 (10:06:52 PM): cause god damnit, mens clothes don't really fit right. either too long or no hips or no room in the button up shirts
mister difranco (10:07:55 PM): yeah
mister difranco (10:07:57 PM): i agree
CaFFiEnE0182 (10:09:52 PM): we need to do something about that
mister difranco (10:10:01 PM): probably
CaFFiEnE0182 (10:10:47 PM): well call it bois for bois
CaFFiEnE0182 (10:11:15 PM): how was your christmas?
mister difranco (10:11:30 PM): so you want to copy fubu
mister difranco (10:11:36 PM): but for homosexual females instead of black people
mister difranco (10:13:22 PM): i'm eating a clementine, and it's not that good
CaFFiEnE0182 (10:13:41 PM): wait what?

CaFFiEnE0182 (10:14:08 PM): for homosexual, crossdressing women and transmen
CaFFiEnE0182 (10:14:21 PM): and hell, why not for the transwomen too
CaFFiEnE0182 (10:14:24 PM): while we're at it
mister difranco (10:14:31 PM): ha
mister difranco (10:14:32 PM): well
mister difranco (10:14:34 PM): because it won't fit them
mister difranco (10:14:37 PM): because they'd be too tall
mister difranco (10:14:41 PM): unless there are two lines
CaFFiEnE0182 (10:14:44 PM): two lindes
CaFFiEnE0182 (10:14:45 PM): lines
