black like a faded memory ~and~ communal shorts

The dye job on the navy blue T-shirts is kind of iffy. It's darker than it was, but I'm certain that compared with true black under strong light, it'll just look extremely dark blue. The thread, being of a different type of fabric than the cotton shirt, did not take the dye, and is remarkably blue against the darker rest of the shirt. As it was invisible before, and blended, I take it that at least a partial success was attained.

I'll have to re-dye, eventually, and do a few more...

~and~

I'm wondering, what with the whole frathouse atmosphere here, and the attitude of communal living that's being developed, if my shorts are going to start being worn by damn near the whole household ... again.

When BJ and I were a couple, we used to share clothes. He left my jeans and skirts strictly alone, as did I his pants and his gods-damned awful Christian propaganda shirts, but we shared my one-size-looks-baggy-on-him shorts and my t-shirts.

As I'm still the largest, pantswise, in the household here, and the shorts are drawstring cotton, black or navy blue, I get the feeling that everyone, Dude, Chick, Sis, and perhaps even Nephew (though I doubt that, not until he gets bigger, as he's just barely not quite five yet) are going to be borrowing my shorts to paint in, or to houseclean in, or what have you.

Sis has objected at the concept of communal towels, though, because Dude lets the towels he uses get quite nasty before washing, and she doesn't do well with nasty towels, or even towels that have been formerly nasty and have since been washed.

I summarized that perhaps it was a good thing that though he was sleeping with her, he was living with me. There were objections: "Hey! I sleep with Nephew!" -- Sis and Nephew indeed sacking out together on the same rather large lower bunk in Sis's room, the West bedroom/bathroom, while Dude took the top bunk in that same room, though storing his stuff and doing his changing and bathing in my bedroom/bathroom, the East bed/bath -- so I had to revise. "Okay, he sleeps on top of you, but lives with me."

Much general hilarity, even from Chick.
