Mhm

[Ian Hunt]

Were they? Didn't tell us that. Hmm.
He's at the library...and is spamming me the most awful picture of myself in the universe...so my inbox is cluttered up with it and he refuses to delete it. Poison orange juice seems suitable yes.
Yeah...precisely...hence why no one cares over here. Can't really see why we'd celebrate it to be honest. Although I think that we should. Everyone knows we suck as a nation anyway. ;D
He was...but then he came back and then he went to his room and he hasn't come out since. And Loki goes in every now and again and she says it's a bad mood. And as he tells us to fuck off when we try and get him to come sit with us, I assume that it is definitely a bad mood.
Ahhh, of course you won't. Don't be silly.

[Arden Patricks]

Hm... Well, maybe it all blew over? Or I've got it wrong what exactly he said?
Ah, yes. So now you can watch him painfully shrivel up, and then laugh while he lies there and refuse to give the antidote. Have fun. *nods*
Lol... well, it would be kind of funny. I mean, on your end celebrating the U.S. independence day would kind of be like saying, "Ha! You suck! Thank god we got rid of you!" lmao
Ah, I see. No idea why?
Well... maybe I will.

[Ian Hunt]

I don't know. Or they could have just convenienly forgotten to tell us.
Muahahahahahaha! I shall enjoy this. But first I have to wait for him to come home so I can watch and refuse him the antidote.
Lmao! Hmm...I suppose there is that...but that's be rather immature of us...
Eh, some idea. Every six months since the accident and everything, the others that were involved sort of get together to mark it, and it's coming up that time again, so he's always little bit broody. That could be it, but it's like extreme bad mood. He never usually tells us to fuck off, even if he is mad at us. And he doesn't usually raise his voice either. I don't know.
Well...maybe you won't...

[Arden Patricks]

Maybe... blast it. Maybe I shouldn't have said that now.
Hm, that's true. What is Mika doing in a library anyway?
Yeah, just a bit. But then again you are Britishlandian.
Ah. I can see how that would bother him, yeah... and I guess it could be anything.
True. *shrug* You should listen to the song though.

[Ian Hunt]

Eh, don't worry. I won't repeat it to them. It's probably blown over anyway...if that was the case...I don't know.
"Research" for his latest...work thing. But I reckon he's gone there so he can have PC access at the same time as me and spam me things.
Ooooooh. Well...I'm a crab...so...
Mhm, he does get very upset. And he gets all 'it's all my fault'-ish as well.
I am downloading it as we speak/type/communicate.

[Arden Patricks]

Yeah... probably/hopefully.
Rightio. And that sounds like a very good use of his time then...
You are not. You are a silly little sea anemone with delusions of grandeur. *shakes head disgustedly*
Every six months? That must be lovely.

[Ian Hunt]

Indeedy.
Oh yes...because Mika often makes good use of his time...
Lmfao!
Mhm-hmm. It is.
Crap, it's not downloading properly. Grrr. When I'm not doing anything, I'll search it on youtube...but I can't now as it'll probably make my PC crash.

[Arden Patricks]

Does he? Well, that's good then.
;D Well, look on the bright side. Nobody ever eats sea anemones.
Anything that can be done about that?
All right then. And could I send you a link then or would that make it crash? 'Cause as long as you're going to hear it on YouTube, you should see the Harry Potter vid I found with it.

[Ian Hunt]

Hmm.
Oh that is a fair point...can you say anemones? I can't say it.
I doubt it.
It's usually the searching that makes it crash, so a link should be okay.

[Arden Patricks]

Lol... what's he (supposedly) working on, anyway?
Yeah, I can say it. Just not five times fast, and not always. Sometimes I trip.
'Cause he's not allowed to be all bleurgish either.
And... all right then. www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8QIPkzd88I
*crosses fingers for not crashing*

[Ian Hunt]

I really don't know. Some Graphicy thing...I think.
Oh. Can most people say it? I feel abnormal now.
No he certainly is not.
*crosses fingers also and tentavely clicks link*

[Arden Patricks]

Rightio then....
And nah. You are abnormal, but it is a tongue twister that most people have difficulty saying. You're like Nemo!

*prays that Andy's computer doesn't explode because that would be sad and he might haunt me or something*

[Ian Hunt]

Hmm.
Nemo?

Ahhh, no! The PC survived! As did I.
Very good video and song. I like it muchos.
But now my computer is running really slow, and I think I might go and beat Mika up anyway. So I'll speak to you elsetimes.

[Arden Patricks]

Nemo as in Finding Nemo. I do hope you've seen it.
When Darren will let people speak to him again I'd like to send him some chocolate.
Yay! And aye, they both are. But meh, that's annoying... though I suppose I can do some more writing. Laura and I were supposed to go to my grandparents though and then to a cheesecake place, but instead she has to cover for someone at work. And I hardly ever see her lately 'cause not only are both of us working but now she has a boyfriend or something. So anyway... I am alone now. But I shall see you later.

[Ian Hunt]

I've heard of it...but never seen it. It's about a fish, I know that much.
I shall do that. He said happy birthday to Mika this morning, but then went back to his room. So I guess the mood is starting to fade...
Yes...do more writing. I hope you did.
Oh no. That's very sad.

[Arden Patricks]

Yes... and you are the fish. He lived in a sea anemone but couldn't pronounce it.
It's Mika's birthday today? I mean, I'd uimagine so as otherwise that would be an unusually random thing to do... but to Mika then. And to Darren maybe not being so bleurgh.
Well, I did in the last day and a half. I think after you left though I just started googling people's names to see what came up. You didn't happen to name Ian after some guitarist or Logan after a book character, did you? I'm also very sorry to inform you that you yourself are either a businessman or a rapist who plays lacrosse... or something like that. Sorry.
Yeah... eh. She's deny that he's a boyfriend, by the way. And we did finally get to see our grandparents last night, and my grandma (surprising me thoroughly) announced several times that anything is possible if we want it bad enough. So she basically encouraged Matt to go work at a tattoo parlor, me to drop out and write, and Laura to join the Peace Corps. I thought that was pretty cool.
Anyway... how're you?

[Ian Hunt]

Lmao. Uh...yay!
No, it wasn't actually Mika's birthday. His birthday is late August. Although he has a variet of not-birthdays that change from year to year, and he'll suddenly announce that it's his birthday and we all say it to him, and then he forgets ten minutes later.
Darren is in high spirits again. Lol. I mean, well Darren-highspirits at least.
Lmao, no, we've googled them before and got that and we thought it was cool. Funny old sorts on the internet. But no, we didn't name them after those guys.
So, I'm a fish that lives in a sea anemone and also a businessman or rapist who plays lacrosse? How strange. I am quite curious about the businessman-rapist-lacrosse part. And I must say that my lacrosse skills are awful.
Aw. Maybe-boyfriends are funny. I love when people deny it. Except not when my sister has maybe-boyfriends. Or real boyfriends. That's not fun. His eyes are too close together. Never trust a man who's eyes are too close together...or something. He's annoying anyway.
I'm glad you got to see your grandparents. Aw! Yay! That is cool. You should all do those things. ;D
I'm very well. Yes, to continue the potential PM-ing conversation, Hamster has been keeping me from the computer because he is a busy panicky man and it's only just hit home that he's getting married in a few short weeks. So we've been doing things towards the preparations, and also calming him down which does seem to be essential to everyone elses wellbeing, because a panicky Hamster causes rioting.

[Arden Patricks]

;D
Hm. Well... that's kind of odd. And he's a year younger than you, right?
Well, that's all right. I'm sure Darren high spirits are probably more sane than, say, Andy high spirits anyway.
Ah, all right then... that's good. And yeah, just google your own name. If you go with Andrew you're a businessman, and if it's Andy I believe you play lacrosse. Don't deny it. But I think the weirdest part may be that you are also an anemone itself....
Well... really maybe he isn't a boyfriend They just saw a bunch of movies and talked for hours and she couldn't shut up about him. *shrug* He's my age though, so if they did start dating I'm not sure I'd approve. Might go all uber-protective like you.
Yep, it was cool. And I think we maybe will. I had no idea my grandma was so open-minded though. She disapproves of tattoos but still encouraged Matt. It was weird.
Ah, I see. Well, as long as you're all right and busy preventing riots. How few short weeks then?

[Ian Hunt]

I'm pretty sure. I don't know. All his birthdays are confusing. He was in the year below me at school at least.
Andy high spirits are fun! ;D
Hmm, rather strange. lol.
Aw! That's cute Jennie! A few years doesn't make that much of a difference, does it? *is highly hypocritical*
Good weird. ;D
In about...three and a half weeks. ;D ;D ;D It's a happy thing!

[Arden Patricks]

And he's sort of been your best friend all your lives, hasn't he? How do you seriously not know that?
Yeah, I would imagine... And amusing to witness, at least from this far away.
Yep.
Nah, I guess not... just kind of weird, for some reason. Like I was thinking that he was in her class, and then she reminded me that he went to school with me. But really... that'd make him about twenty and she's almost seventeen. But still, it was like... instant protectiveness. No! He's too old! *shrug* But I don't even know if they're just friends or not anyway.
Yeah, good weird. ;D
Whoo-hoo! *cheers* It is very. ;D

[Ian Hunt]

Yes...But he has too many bloody birthdays! I reckon I'm about six months older than him, because his real birthday is in November, the one we celebrate is in August because he likes summer, and then there are the numerous others...He's in the year below me at school, year younger, it's easier that way.
;D
Aw, that's sweet. And instant protectiveness is sweet too.
;D But Soon-to-be-Mrs-Hamster is going to leave him at the alter for me. Or she was at least, because I called her Lucy, and she was happy and gave me a hug and then Hamster was -_- so I asked her to marry me instead, and she said "You're too young for me sweetie," which makes me sad. lol.

[Arden Patricks]

Right... gotcha. And whoa, that's creepy. Nobody there happens to have a birthday in April, do they?
Oh, hey... and speaking of ages and such... why, early on, did you all insist repeatedly that you, Mika, and Hamster were all the same age and you were all seventeen?
I suppose. *shrug*
Lol... that'd be quite dramatic. But why does that make you sad?

[Ian Hunt]

Uhm...I can't remember. I'm terrible at birthdays...I think Hamster's is spring sometime, but can't for the life of me think when. Why?
Lol, for jokes. ;D We've all insisted repeatedly that we're 25 before...just a 'cos we can' thing. ;D
I don't really know why...I just told her that it did and she let me wear her hat and all was well. I like Hamster's soon to be wife. She's a little bit weird though.

[Arden Patricks]

Psychic connevtionyness... lol. Pip and Laura have the same birthday. John's is four days before Matt and Claire's. I think Loki's was a week or so after Maria's, and Darren's is two days after Marcie's. And if Mika's is in November that's around the same time as Matt Sr's. I'm quite good with birthdays, see, and mildly fascinated by them.
I see... that's kind of weird of you. And really very much didn't help with thinking you might not be real, incidentally.
Eh, she'd have to be. But what's wrong with weird? At least she sounds quite nice.

[Ian Hunt]

Oh! Really? That's actually very awesome. You are good with birthdays.
Yeah...it was an in-joke thing...cos we saw this 'educational movie' and yeah...never mind. So that meant we went round for ages declaring we were all seventeen, and forgot people can't see us laugh and therefore know we're having an in-joke moment on the internet. But terribly sorry about that. We are real. We assure you. Or I do at least, I can't vouch for the others, apart from that I interact with them regularly so if I'm real and they're not it says little for the state of my mental health. ;D
Nothing's wrong with weird. We thought Hamster would always settle with a sensible girl though, so they could be boring together. But we like Lucy so she can't sensible..but she doesn't like us much because we called her Miss Hamster for years and only started calling her by her name a few weeks ago.

[Arden Patricks]

Yeah, kind of. Lol... I used to go around memorizing and reciting everyone in my family's birthdays, horoscope signs, chinese horoscope signs, and birthstones. I have no idea why, but there you go.
Lol... this is true. And was one of my theories. You're either some weirdo who thinks it's funny to pretend to be different people, or you have multiple personalities. Or, you're somebody writing a book and the lot of you are characters so that's why there are inconsistencies and such. Did I mention that I'm paranoid with an overactive imagination? lol
Hamster is quite far from boring though... and you know, somehow I can't blame her for that. I doubt I'd be too thrilled with people who never, ever call me by my name.
Anyway. Anything new with you? I wrote for an hour last night, forgot to save it, and then had to try and rewrite it. So that was fun. And then I had a random urge to give you a hug, but it was like nine-thirty so I'd imagine you were sleeping and all. So if you'd like a hug now then there you go. And now I've just remembered that I forgot to give Rebecca the chocolate I was planning to send her. And now I'm just being rather rambly and I think perhaps I shouldn't get up at seven-thirty in future. *salutes*

[Ian Hunt]

Yes, I have no idea why that is as well. lol.
Oh dear God...I'm all paranoid like now...I mean, I know I'm not a weirdo who finds it amusing to pretend to be different people, and I'm definitely not writing a book...but would I even know if I had multiple personalities and they were all the others or if I just imagined them all up or something? That's weird, I wouldn't know, maybe it is true and I don't know. Fuck, I'm freaked out. Thank you Jennie.
He is rather boring at times...but yes, we don't blame her either.
Aw, no. How can you forget to save it? Thank you for the hug, I'd quite like one. And I hope you've remembered to give Rebecca that chocolate by now. Why were you up at seven-thirty anyhow? Work?
And there is a bit new with me that is rather depressing, but here goes anyway. I got some test results back, and the cancer's spread further like...all round. I am completely and utterly riddled with it. Bleak, huh?

[Arden Patricks]

Oh, fuck. I'm sorry. But hey - you actually have proof of your own and friends' reality, do you not?
So he claims as well... and it's a bloody good thing you're calling her by her real name now, then.
Well, I was talking to Laura at the time... so I was distracted. But I did rewrite it all right. And no, I was just up at seven-thirty for no apparent reason. I couldn't get back to sleep. I also haven't seen Rebecca since then... blast it.
You can have another hug now. And some chocolate of your own. And also I would like to give hugs/chocolate to all your imaginary friends, too, because I haven't seen MattyMatt, Darren, or Pip in a while and I had a sad dream last night where my brother died. So... yeah. Chocolate all around.

[Ian Hunt]

I do indeed. I have photo albums, and I have bruises, and stuff.
See? If he says it, it must be true. It is. She loves us now.
Oh good, I'm very glad about this. Are you happy with the rewrite?
That is strange...can't you lie there until you go back to sleep or something if you do that?
Damnit. Where art thou Rebecca?
Thank you. You know this means time up, don't you? So...within weeks, sort of thing. Just as a warning.
I haven't seen my imaginary friends in a while either. Besides Daz because he lives here. But Matt and Pip are on some drama thing, where their whole group has bundled into a van and headed down to the coast in the pouring rain. But yes.
Awh, no. That's really sad. Chocolate for you as well.

[Arden Patricks]

Well, there you go then. I think that was my least probable theory anyway... more so a way of being paranoid without you being a liar than an actual theory.
Now there's a good rule to live by.... And that is very good then.
Yes, I think I am. Except then I rewrote the ending again because on second thought it was a little weird. I got 'where the fuck did that come from?' and 'ewww!' from both Laura and Maria, so I took it as a sign that I should change it.

No... 'cause I'd be lying there a good bloody hour, probably. And get more awake all the while. I get up at eight anyway.
And I don't know. She hasn't been around much for a really long while.
... And no, I didn't. And now I feel bad about having doubts you're for real, and I wish that I could make them go away. And if you don't mind I'd like to give you another hug now, and thank you.
