Er...no...

It's a biblical reference to the brothers Cain and Abel, and when Cain got jealous of his brother he slew him, thus commiting the first murder and fratricide.

Of course not. It's all hector's mad imagination. You know that.

These are not the droids you're looking for.

I do that from behind the curtains. But actually the neighbours aren't that interesting anyway. So instead I watch the neighbour's cat.

Just sing them an aria, they either behave and listen or start running. Problem solved.

Oh Earnie, Earnie, how was I supposed to know
That something wasn't right here
Oh Earnie, Earnie, I shouldn't have let you go
And now you're out of sight yeah
Show me how you want it to be
Tell me Earnie, cuz I need to know now, oh, because

[Chorus:]
My threadlessness is killing me (And I)
I must confess I still believe (Still believe)
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a word, post for me baby one more time

Oh Earnie, Earnie, the reason I breathe is you
Gal you've got me blinded
Oh pretty Earnie, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
That's not the way I planned it
Show me how you want it to be
Tell me Earnie cuz I need to know now, oh, because

[Chorus]

Oh Earnie, Earnie, how was I supposed to know
Oh pretty Earnie, I shouldn't have let you go
I must confess that my threadlessness is killing me now
Don't you know I still believe
That you will be here and give me a word
post for me Earnie one more time.

*puts on the kettle for tea*

I've just come home from visiting the cutest baby girl ever. Took me the whole day for traveling to get there, though. I still find it weird that one of my old school-friends now is a mommy, but the baby is absolutely adorable.

Aww. How old is the baby?

I've almost lost count of how many of my uni friends that have recently become parents

Three days old.

Already so many parents amongst your friends? Me, I've only just adjusted to the fact that most of my friends moved in together with their girlfriend or boyfriend.

Yeah, I know; I was thinking the same thing. I mean, it still often freaks me out when an engagement is announced, but it happens often enough that it shouldn't.

In the music department, everyone is sleeping with everyone else so it's like they're all married to each other anyways. At the very least, someone is breaking up or getting together with someone else. Like, at least twice a day. Sometimes I feel like the only single person in the department.

I'm kidding. Mostly.

Three days only? Awwww...
Does she have a godmother yet?

Most of my uni friends are older than me, so it's not very surprising they're starting to get kids. But just like you, I thought it felt so weird when my buddy from elementary school got a kid at 21.

I'm not quite up with the meaning of the song, but nice.

Yep, and it ain't me. Lil' thing deserves a godmother she sees more than every two years. I didn't even know the little thing was underway until friday. Which shows both that I have to keep up better communication with my highschool friends, and that the new mother is as forgetful as I remember her.

I think 26 is a nice age to become a parent, and ya know, someone has to be the first. But unless I'm very much mistaken, the next baby in my friends' circle is going to take a few years.
