051. Diagnosis

You're older. Yippy skippy. I'm sure you're just thrilled about the crow's feet and cellulite. Not to mention insurance, retiring, making ends meet and still trying to fit into those tight pants.

When you're jail bait everything is roses? Think again. It's never going to last. One way or another the joke is on you, it's all a tease. Unless you dig cosmetic surgery. Oh maybe then there is hope. At 40 you'll be playing make believe and dress up pretending you're a 25 year old. That's mature.

Kind of sexy too.

Me? I feel fine. I appoint myself to be a kindly Hambert Hambert soul and rate the growth on a scale of one to ten. I'm seeing a good number of 8s. Someone gimme a ten.

If you don't complain about it then there must be something wrong.

It's the 'grass is always greener' thing. The alternative isn't the fabulous prize some people think.

It's mostly your brain that makes you an 8, Toshiko-chan. It takes you up out of all of the Katie Holmeses.

I can actually see the compliment in there, Dr. House. More than one, even.

Have you hit your head?

You should get your eyes checked. My calender is looking sparse when can I pencil you in?

Already got glasses, and a doctor.

Then I can't help you there. I don't know what the issue is.

Just delusional, I suppose. Must be the shock from being called an '8'.

The scoring is simple. (http://vicodincrutch.livejournal.com/13430.html?thread=931958#t931958)

...You've a form for scoring people's appearance.

I suppose I should be flattered that it's my brains that get me bumped up from 'cute'.

It's a slow day.

Makes a difference now and then.

Slow isn't the word I'd use to describe today.

Well, thank you. For the compliment I'm imagining.

I meant for productive activity that might involve pay.

Your welcome for your delusions. Imagination keeps you young right?

I'd have thought a day full of aged people might bring in extra business for a doctor.

Being dead keeps me young, Imagination keeps me sane.

I'm disappointed too.

So long as everyone's happy.
