You should have eh? Long week last week? It is odd... so far back and such a complex person and set of events. Holidays are odd most of the time. Come to think of it... the only people I ever talk about things like work and taxes and what is happening today are and , and we usually talk about strange things... Of course you are the only person that I type to in an ever changing code. I am fairly sure that I am a bit odd. It seems to be that general consensus.

It's just been...mleh. I've been sick, and in a bad mood is all.

I don't really have an extensive list of internet-friends. I really just talk to you and occasionally Basia (those conversations usually involve me reassuring her that I am not, in any way, after you). The ever-changing code of our banter is plenty for me.

I apologize Ruby, if you felt I'm only discussing with you whether you are, in any way, after Kenneth. Of course it interests me obviously, but really, other things about you interest me too, so I promise i'll try to have some more content-related conversations with you in the past

Oh, it's alright, no need to apologize! I'm sure our future conversations will be content-filled.

Oh, I'm sorry. Sick should never be on the same day as school and a bad mood. (Unlike some people here though, it doesn't show)

It is probably best not to have too many internet friends. I am flattered to be part of that list however. Basia is so funny. I really don't understand it, but she's really cool so I count myself lucky to have gotten so much attention from her. Yeah, banter is cool, but it can strain the language center of the brain.

"Basia is so funny." oh thanks Ken
I can't understand how you can't understand it, but I'm happy that you count yourself lucky for the attention from me(I don't know about it being the wisest attitude one can have to the sort of attention I give you though, probably you should rather feel insecure and in danger, considering my will to kidnap you, or otherwise you should just surrender to me{the expression isn't mine,I borrowed the phrase from Candyman actually} and just enjoy the fact I love you and am most likely going to kidnap you to make you mine ,I guess the second option would be much easier if you loved me madly too, so maybe maybe you can persuade yourself you love me madly? how about that? this way I wouldn't need to feel that devilish while kidnapping you)

I am indeed thank you for noticing
I do like to think of myself as of devilish actually you know probably it's because my vision of devils has been partly formed while reading Milton, and Rimbaud, and "The Master and Margarita", and all the devils there certainly rock

It's alright, my mood and health aren't all that bad.

I agree, so I tend to keep the list short. I'm glad to be on yours as well. Basia is really cool, and it's cute to see how much she admires you. I think I need the strain, you know, for brain exercise.

Well that's good,er... well, ok.

My list is growing a bit too big. I am just artist addicted. I can't help myself. (I think She has me confused with someone else... I just can't figure out who.) Brain excercise is a wonderful thing, it is usually fun and it comes in very handy. So why is it so often resisted?

no, no, no, she doesn't have you confused with anyone else hahaha, maybe with Ernest Abacus sometimes, but just when it comes to names

Probably because of the same reasons that regular exercise is: lack of time, motivation or ability.

There is also the fear of feeling stupid, or weak. The trick is to make it a game. Otherwise the rewards are to abstract in the moment.
