You want to live in Farmville? - God, I hated that game. My uncle was obsessed with it.

Away from everything, it sounds like.

I kind of like this one

You know you want a pink house...

Downstairs masterbedroom!!!

This one is pretty cute.

Those windows, that deck! ...when did I become this type of person.

You're looking at real estate listings already, Newton?

No.

Well, yes.

I mean obviously, yes.

Too soon?

Perhaps not. Considering our apparently conflicting tastes, this is going to take quite some time.

1. Long staircase.
2. Looks rather cold and uphill?
3. Outdated, if otherwise nice.
4. Only considered for the beach I presume.
5. Not enough information.
6. Decent, I suppose.
7. That is very nice. Resembles a barn, would need a new exterior paint job for certain.

1. I know. I linked only for the Farmville name.
2. You're going to have a car. And why does it look cold? I see no snow. No thermometer. I don't know where you're drawing these conclusions from.
3. I don't think the furniture comes with. We'll redo it. I'm continually unsure of your style, dude. Old-man chic seems to require old-fashioned interiors and plastic coverings to furniture.
4. Hey, pink is manly.
5. SIGH.
6. Decent, he says. It looks like a cupcake. It's "cute." I thought you wanted quaint and away from it all. I am TRYING to be accommodating. MAYBE IF YOU WERE MORE SPECIFIC TO BEGIN WITH.
7. Houses seem to come in three flavors here: Barn/cabiny, Colonial, or Wannabe-Tara. Aka Cold and Rustic and lots of boring brown, Shutters and Siding, or FUCKING HUGE with columns and acreage and hoop skirts and Clark Gable.

What DO you want--since clearly my ability to anticipate what you might find attractive in a house (out of the way, quaint, not super swanky) and meld it with mine (unique, charmingly eclectic, and kind of city) is not blending successfully. I've tried to put us out of the way even though I've never lived in the country, okay? "Cottage" yields barns and cabins here, and I thought we were shopping for small, cottagey something or others.

What are you looking for? If you want your European Charming Cottage, we might need to move North...or just go to Europe.

2. Those windows, the way it's melded with the ground in a bit. The environment simply looks chilly.
3. The tiling is awful.
6. It's a double-story. That's really my only complaint, if a significant one.
7. I do like it. I'd just want it repainted.

What I want? Simplicity. Preferably single story, something that resembles more modern architecture rather than something from the 1700s. You really need to stop assuming I'm incredibly old-fashioned just because you have something against my warddrobe choices.

Quaint, somewhat removed, yes. It doesn't have to be in the country to qualify. I just want a quiet residence with distant enough neighbors that I don't have to see them every morning. Something with a long driveway or nested on the outskirts of a city and surrounded by trees. Think private, rather than remote.

2. Alright, point taken.
3. I'm sure I can retile.
6. Yeah, I know. It fit the bill for quaint, though.
7. Well, we've established I can paint walls.

I happen to LIKE your wardrobe choices. I just, ok, do have trouble removing that style from everything else you could possibly interact with.

We could always build something.

3 & 7: Those both sound like ambitious projects. We could just hire someone to do those things, you know.

That sounds.. rather expensive. I suppose we could look into it, however.

What, you don't want to be Do-It-Yourselfers? XD

Surely someone around here has an exaggerated version of your power, maybe more stamina in the creation process. Or we can just hire someone like a contractor.

On second thought, building always takes too long.

How about moving west to the land of ranch-style houses? There's your flat level houses and then we just need to find one with big enough acreage to separate us from everyone else? So, you know, we can have all those loud arguments and raucous makeup sex and no neighbors ever have to know.

It's more costly to do something wrong and have to hire someone to fix it. I'd just rather large projects were done professionally.

We can't move far west. Well I suppose we could if we found different jobs, but even so, we'd be rather out of contact with everyone else.

Surely single level houses exist somewhere within a reasonable radius. If I need to hire a realtor to find them, I will.

I made a pons from scratch and you're doubting my ability to lay tile.
I'm hurt. )=

Thought that was sort of the point, being away from everyone?

Oooo fussy, critical AND determined modes--Activated!
Have I told you how hot that is?

Building a machine is not the same as interior remodeling.

And while yes, that level of isolation wouldn't particularly trouble me, you have close friends you enjoy talking to and meeting with on a semi-regular basis. I'd be content with something relatively private; no need for drastic measures.

You may have mentioned something similar before.

I'm not talking about plumbing, Hermann, just a little grout and tile.

Well, QB has portals, so he's easy. But yeah, I guess if I'm actually going to have friends, I might as well have them nearby, huh?

Speaking of, add to my list: someplace for the kids to stay when they visit--even if it's just an office we can convert into guest-things when they have a fight and need to be separated for a while.

And I haven't mentioned it enough. Seriously, very hot when you decide to take matters into your own hands and make sure they're done right.

I'm sure we'll have a guest room or two, as there's no sense in trying to uphold a pretense and have separate rooms at that point.

Little wonder I haven't gotten through to you over the years.

...At that point? We're currently upholding a pretense at THIS point? Honestly, Hermann, I think the only person in this entire world who didn't assume we were sleeping together was Joaquin for a while--

You should have experimented with different methods, Doctor.

No, but we do technically have separate rooms.

If only I'd known that pinning you against the nearest available surface would actually have proven effective. I could have saved the both of us a good amount of pointless arguing and frustration.

"Technically."

Pointless?! Hey, now. We won the war. Some of those were very fruitful arguments. Anyway, I apparently do my best work when mentally, scientifically, and sexually frustrated by you.

Unfortunate, really. For the good of the world, I'll simply have to refrain from touching or indulging you during the next crisis.

However will you cope? Another decade pining away.

Oh there is simply no universe in which I'd manage through ten years of temptation close at hand. I am not a saint.

Well, THAT is obvious. No saint enjoys so much sin, right?

Well I certainly haven't heard any complaints.

I could file one if you're feeling nostalgic...
