jen: Hey =)
me: oh hai thar
me: hai 2u
jen: whattcha up to?
me: zomg lol school sux :-(
jen: ?
me: cleaning up, smoking crack, brainstorming ideas for the pilot
jen: smoking crack?
jen: really?
me: also e-mailing back the dozens of people who'd I hadn't bothered with due to heroin
me: yep
me: it's shitty crack, though
me: not like Texas, I-35 corridor stuff
jen: Barrett, wtf is wrong w/ you?! =)
me: like I said
me: anything I do now is progress
jen: like not getting burned in a fire by jumping 40 stories
me: exactly
jen: logical
me: at any rate, it's pretty much just coke
jen: at least tell me you've opted for the class of a car antennae instead of a pipe? =)
me: lol, afraid not
me: I like to go all the way
jen: well, smoking crack is something I would end up doing, so I don't want to be around it
me: I'm just doing a little today
me: never had a problem with it before, it's not my thing
me: but it covers my muscle aches, etc.
jen: How are you feeling?
me: pretty good
me: got my appetite back, can concentrate on work, etc
me: just took a couple of ibuprofen
jen: =)
jen: glad to hear it
me: turned down a chance to get a bag of H walking back
me: like, free H that someone owed me
me: so I'm cured
jen: very glad
jen: right
jen: well, i hope it sticks this time =)
me: we'll see. I'm pretty confident that it will.
jen: i always tell myself that it's silly to think that a substance can have such control over me
jen: but then I end up smoking or drinking for another phase =)
me: right
jen: i like that out of control, making a mess of my life feeling
jen: for a while
jen: until i've accomplished my goal
me: yeah, it's fun up until that point
jen: what is wrong with us?
jen: =)
me: genes
me: plus environment
jen: not me
jen: hmm
me: so, everything
jen: not really
me: very well
jen: like i told you, i think i'm just crazy =)
me: yep
jen: =)
me: SMILEY FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
jen: ya, i over smiley face it
jen: i don't care
jen: i can't smile at you typing and I say a lot of fucked up shit that needs to be accompanied by a smile to make the tone i intend
jen: =)
jen: see?
jen: ;)
me: understood
jen: So i gotta go to an experiment in a few minutes and then program in the eye tracking dungeon afterwards
jen: i'm thinking i'll be done here around 8 or 9
me: eye tracking dungeon, very good
jen: wanna hang out?
me: I'll be around
jen: I should work again
me: give me a call when you get out of the dungeon or cure cognitive cancer or whatever you do
me: sure
jen: I will
jen: Hey, i didn't mean to push you super far away or nething
jen: just fyi
jen: not really concerned for myself, but I would not forgive myself if I hurt you
jen: sounds terrible in print
jen: sorry =)
me: sounds reasonable, actually
me: my fault, I found the "I've trapped another girl" thing to be amusing so it probably sounded like I was declaring this to be a relationship
jen: no, well, yes, and it is
jen: sorta
jen: i mean we're not "fucking" =)
jen: it has potential to be a great relationship
me: right
me: and, again
jen: just don't play stupid "i'm too cool, i don't care baby"
jen: =)
me: don't worry about deciding to end it and me getting depressed and going back to H, I'm not doing that again
jen: well of course that is a concern
jen: but moreso that I really do fuck up everything i touch romantically
me: me too. should work out really well
jen: =)
jen: so we have a great miserable journey to look forward to
jen: (needs a smiley face to make sense, huh?)
me: I'm a fantastic ex-boyfriend
jen: hmm
jen: my ex-boyfriends don't speak to me ever again for various overly dramatic reasons
me: that's gay
jen: yes
jen: well, let's hope you don't have to be gay
me: yes, let's
jen: Also, I don't mean to be like "auditioning" you or nething
jen: like, let's see if he really does clean up. then I'm the prize at the end
me: well, it was an unusual situation
jen: never liked anyone w/out a substance abuse problem
jen: hope it's correlated w/ a personality type at least
me: that's a pretty reasonable approach on your end, at any rate.
jen: what is?
me: waiting to see if I can actually clean up
jen: yes, but it's not like I wouldn't still be interested
jen: it's just that I'm not retarded
jen: that makes no sense
me: it wouldn't have been fair to you
jen: of course not
jen: There are millions of guys out there
jen: you don't make me want to stab at my brain w/ a pen
jen: =)
jen: through the ear of course
me: yeah, but in NYC they're all effeminate hipsters and homos
jen: hmm
me: the white ones
jen: well, there is an overabundance
jen: =)
me: very well
jen: i gotta go to the experiment now
jen: i like you so much, Barrett
jen: I'll call you when I'm done at nyuu
jen: =)
me: I like you, too
me: I'll be here
