Love is in the air

We've all been there. Madly in love with someone who won't even give you the time of day, who acts like a huge asshole to you when you make attempts to interact, who pretends to hate you in public but you know it's just because it's high school and it's a popularity contest and really he knows deep down that even though you were in the marching band and really good at math that you are the only real person at this school and he really wanted to ask you to the prom but then people would have talked and he was up for prom king after all...

I'm sorry, where was I? Oh right, Obie. Obie has fallen madly in love with Sadie, is what I was trying to say, but Sadie's been sending some pretty mixed signals. Those of us who lived with Obie are familiar with his attempts to express his..."love". You can watch his attempts to flirt with Sadie here:



As you can see, Sadie's playing pretty hard to get. But Obie's always been a determined little thing, and he's not giving up. Embarrassed by the weight he put on during college he's started working on his fitness, as Fergie would say, to try to win Sadie over. He no longer walks anywhere. Instead he runs full sprint to wherever he needs to be, no matter what is standing in his way, and despite the fact that we have hardwood floors, so occasionally he skitters around the corner and straight into a wall. Sometimes he carries Toot Toot with him for some added weight training.

But all is not lost, Sadie did let him sit by her when she was completely and wholly distracted by some doves that were pecking around outside.

Obie didn't really get the whole "don't let them notice you" part

Don't worry, Obie was a frat bro in college. He knows that persistence and a "No means yes" attitude is the key to any woman's heart. He'll have her fetching beerx and sandwiches for him while he farts and watches the game in no time.
