Hangin' on the Telephone

SPOILER ALERT:  Don't read unless you have read Chapter 25 in "A Discover of Witches".

He told her he loves her!!!!  On the...telephone!  Ohhhh it was soooo cute!  And soooo Matthew!  Boyfriend had his little temper tantrum after the jerkey Michele vamp showed up and tried to scare he and Diana into blowing each other off for eternity.  And then he left.  Back to Oxford he went and left poor Diana there with Ysabeau and Marthe.  Scary, party of 2?  Nah - just 1.  Marthe is the vampire grandmother I never had, what with all that candle lighting, sandwich making, pastry puffing...I could do with a week or two at Sept-Tours - oh yes indeed I could!  And Ysabeau - well I'm warming up to her.  I just wish she'd hunt on her own time.  Watching a grown woman scarf down rabbit blood while sporting her best Dior is kindof disconcerting, no?

At any rate...Matthew told Diana he didn't want to be her special treaty-breaking, vampire friend anymore before he left for Oxford...which made girlfriend sweat buckets of sea water (lordddd was I worried about castle flooding) only to call and tell her he's on his way home and that he "loves her".  Can I get an "Awwwwww" everybody?  Well yes, I bet I can!!  (((claps hands like a 4th grader)))

OK so here is the song that this chapter reminds me of:

"Hanging On The Telephone" - Blondie

I heard your mother now she's going out the door
Did she go to work or just go to the store
All those things she said, I told you to ignore
Oh why can't we talk again
Oh why can't we talk again 
Oh why can't we talk again

Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long
If I don't get your call then everything goes wrong
I want to tell you something you've known all along
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

I had to interrupt and stop this conversation
Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation
I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection
Oh I can't control myself
Oh I can't control myself
Oh I can't control myself
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

Hang up and run to me
Whoah, hang up and run to me
Whoah, hang up and run to me
Whoah, hang up and run to me
Whoah oh oh oh 
Run to me

  1. I've never heard this song, but while I was waiting in the drive-through line at McDonald's last night Blondie's "Call Me" started playing. I immediately thought of your blog! Blondie will never be the same for me now!
