I sometimes let the "inner college student" run the place for a while. Not too long, though- he has a tendency to go out and buy beer, Doritos and dip and then I have to clean up the living room.
(01:07:42 PM) Steve: I feel like crap.
(01:08:00 PM) Steve: Oh yeah, hi!
(01:08:07 PM) Steve: Good afternoon!
(01:08:12 PM) Leann: i would think so... but so do i for other reasons
(01:08:34 PM) Leann: did you sleep well?
(01:08:42 PM) Steve: no.
(01:08:49 PM) Leann: damn
(01:09:14 PM) Steve: life sucks. I hate sunshine.
(01:09:53 PM) Steve: damn happy people going out in the sunshine. hate them too.
(01:10:25 PM) Leann: hmmm... i'd say someone is grumpy today
(01:10:44 PM) Steve: what are you trying to say? go ahead....spit it out.....
(01:11:11 PM) Steve: are you saying I'm not being a ray of sunshine?
(01:11:21 PM) Leann: you're acting like me when i'm PMSing
(01:11:22 PM) Steve: 8>D
(01:12:12 PM) Steve: yeah, I'm generally pissy today.
(01:12:40 PM) Steve: all I want is to dive into a vat of chocolate covered ice cream.
(01:12:56 PM) Steve: and play video games
(01:13:00 PM) Leann: hmmm... that does sound good
(01:13:11 PM) Steve: and watch aqua teen hunger force.
(01:13:29 PM) Leann: all i have is lego star wars 1 & 2, enter the matrix
(01:13:57 PM) Steve: those suck. I want to kill babies and puppies.
(01:14:22 PM) Steve: in a video game, of course, if the government is listening. Hi guys! (waves)
(01:14:38 PM) Leann: lol
(01:15:03 PM) Steve: baby puppies would be even better.
(01:15:27 PM) Leann: riiiiight
(01:16:24 PM) Steve: we have a poster at work-
(01:16:40 PM) Leann: about?
(01:16:44 PM) Steve: picture of yoda and vader.
(01:17:08 PM) Steve: yoda- "help you I can?" vader- "sometimes the dark side gets me down."
(01:17:15 PM) Leann: nice
(01:17:36 PM) Steve: it's like a "choose your attitude, help someone today" thing.
(01:17:47 PM) Steve: I want to rip it into tiny pieces.
(01:17:57 PM) Steve: this is my dark side day.
(01:18:07 PM) Leann: i've noticed
(01:18:07 PM) Steve: I am kidding, of course.
(01:18:13 PM) Steve: but not
(01:18:18 PM) Steve: yes I am
(01:18:22 PM) Steve: no I'm not
(01:18:29 PM) Leann: doing some venting?
(01:18:49 PM) Steve: listen you, shut up, I'm doing the talking. No, you're not, I am. No, me.
(01:19:01 PM) Steve: Sorry, the voices are a little testy today.
(01:20:03 PM) Steve: don't even get me started on the whole "he's on my side of the brain" argument.
(01:20:49 PM) Leann: don't worry... i won't
(01:30:33 PM) Leann: so what are you up to?
(01:31:10 PM) Steve: morose indignation, up from flagellating self hatred.
(01:31:29 PM) Leann: well that's productive
(01:31:34 PM) Steve: that's psychically flagellating self hatred. I'm too lazy to actually do it.
(01:31:35 PM) Leann: anything else?
(01:32:31 PM) Steve: oh, the usual- a little laundry, pay a bill or two, plan world domination.
(01:33:05 PM) Leann: don't forget to wave to the government... [waves]
(01:33:17 PM) Steve: and then go to the library and drop off my "positive attitude" books.
