you reached him.
drop your deets and leave a message.

((this is for all games, please note in the subject line which one you come from))

Huh? Oh. Hah, shit. Thanks.

Sorry. I guess most adults don't make a very big deal out of it but it was in your book, so. It didn't feel right to say nothing.

Yeah. I guess I'm thirty-three. Weird.

Do you think you're too old? A lot of my friends are much older; I've been spending time lately with a World War II veteran in his nineties, so try not to feel too much like your cells are decaying at an alarming rate.

Thanks.
That's reassuring.

You're welcome. It makes me feel better. When I'm with older people who are still vital, I feel less like I peaked when I was 12.

Sarcasm is hard to read over text, isn't it.

So you don't feel old. I'm really not a fan of texting to be honest. It makes me an anomaly in my generation, but there it is.

Not always.

Wasn't a fan of it for a while myself. Too much room for misinterpretation.

That's it exactly. I have an hard enough time with sarcasm in spoken word.

Can't say I didn't notice.

You decided it was politer not to say anything?

I figured you knew.

If you want to hear a crock of shit, ask someone about their self-concept. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

I never had to look far to know that's true.

So you know that when you want to know something about a person, making friends with their most talkative friend is a great strategy.

Maybe, but I prefer being more direct.

Is that so? You've always tended to keep rather a respectful distance from my personal matters. I figured it was because you were asking someone else and finding out that way. Either that, or I imagine it's because you just weren't interested.

I'm interested.
I just figure if you have anything you want to tell me, you'll tell me yourself.
I keep a respectful distance because I respect you; I ain't gonna go snooping around behind your back.

I don't spill my guts for nothing. Even my therapist has to work for it. Do you think I disrespect you for asking so many questions about your life? Even after having read your book? You must feel it's very unfair.

Not really. I put it out there to be read and of course it's gonna be questioned. If there's anything I really don't want people to know, it's not in there.

Those are probably the most interesting stories.

Probably. Maybe I'll tell you a few some time.

If you really want to, of course I'll listen.

One day.
It's not really a text thing.
