2:46 PM Joshua: nope - remember - he canceled
2:50 PM me: what a faggot
  why?
 Joshua: what's her name is bringing the kid to see him around that time
2:51 PM son?
  i mean Son!
 me: that's stupid
 Joshua: now now
 me: I've got more projects going on than that damned kid
  anyway, I'm trying to convince Caleb to move back
 Joshua: lets not say things we don't mean
  oh right
 me: offered him a plane ticket up here
 Joshua: that's nice of you
2:52 PM me: wait, that would fuck up my whole Catalina thing
 Joshua: i think he should take it
 me: damnit
 Joshua: that's also true
  well how many times has she "paid out"
  in "gold coins"
  so to speak
2:53 PM me: a couple
  Friday was most recent occasion
 Joshua: that's nice
 me: basically, three weekends in a row
 Joshua: and how far into the future do you see this being fruitful
2:54 PM buy the ticket for then
  i trust your judgment
 me: I don't really plan ahead
 Joshua: guesstimate
 me: it'll be at least a couple of months before he can come up anyway
 Joshua: riht
 me: he needs to accrue funds
2:55 PM on the other hand, fuck him
 Joshua: i can't believe that im didn't try to spell check guesstimate
  good point - lets none of us have a cow
 me: he's been attempting to take my girls since 6th fucking grade
  seriously, I found e-mails on his old computer
  to my 6th grade girlfriend
2:56 PM Joshua: if i remember correctly you stole catalinas number from his phone the first time he came up to visit
 me: don't remember
 Joshua: you were right to do so
 me: I don't think I ever called her
 Joshua: doesn't matter
 me: what I do remember
2:57 PM Joshua: go on
 me: is me and caleb and her and others hanging out at Kings when I first met her to any real extent, and I got really drunk and talked to her and later announced that she totally wanted me
  and everyone mocked me for it
  WHO'S MOCKING NOW
 Joshua: who wets the bed now, Millhouse
2:58 PM ?
 me: I'M A REAL BOY JUST LIKE YOU
  lol, that thing
 Joshua: so, andrew was saying that you were planning on meeting up with him to watch the saints game in manhattan
  tonight
2:59 PM me: yeah, no
  I specifically told him that I'm very busy
  and don't like Manhattan or football
 Joshua: oh yeah
  forgot
  lol
 me: that Diamond Age is a hell of a book
3:00 PM Joshua: i imagine so
 me: you never read it?
 Joshua: nope
  i was going to but career got in the way
3:01 PM probably will at some point
3:02 PM me: no you won't
3:03 PM Joshua: so, did the other girl move out
  ?
 me: yeah
  strange thing is
 Joshua: why?
 me: the editor of Scallywag and Vagabond might move in
  drama
 Joshua: i c
3:04 PM did she sleep with straub
 me: Scott sort-of-kind-of hit his girlfriend by accident the other night but not really
 Joshua: i c
 me: also, she thinks her camera was stolen
  and it probably was
 Joshua: right
  go on
  is scott paying rent
  ?
3:05 PM me: sort of
 Joshua: i c
  have you thought of purging and finding new roommates
 me: he's given me $200 out of 600 for this month
  and lost his job
 Joshua: i c
  it's the 30th
 me: well, we'll see
  he's apparently selling his computer
3:06 PM Joshua: i understand
 me: and that girl is supposedly giving him a check on the 5th
3:07 PM Joshua: so, is his girlfriend living there too
  ?
 me: not anymore
  she left on Saturday
 Joshua: so , where is this check coming from
  the girl that left
 me: yeah
  I guess
3:08 PM anyway
 Joshua: i c
  well
  ...
 me: yes
3:09 PM so, I guess I'll make him leave at some point
 Joshua: it looks like john and i may not be moving out until feb
 me: right
3:10 PM Joshua: i don't know whats going on with andrew, but insistent upon confusing the moving process as much as possible
 me: meanwhile, Melvin now says he'll pay me the $300 he owes me
 Joshua: i c
  well that's nice
 me: so, another swing of the pendelum
3:11 PM Joshua: life is a highway...
 me: faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag
  ot
 Joshua: i deserve that
 me: lololol
  oh, so, Miriam keeps IMing me
3:12 PM she wants to have sex
  what should I do?
 Joshua: she said that specifically
  ?
  that's odd
 me: yes
 Joshua: i dont give a shit
 me: I mean, from my standpoint
  not yours, dumbass
  is this dangerous?
 Joshua: oh, well
 me: y/n?
3:13 PM Joshua: i would say less dangerous than other things currently present in your life - i would - if i found her attractive
 me: right
3:14 PM I haven't seen her in two years
  I've already sort of led her on
  because that's what I do
 Joshua: yeah - maybe look at some facebook pictures first
 me: I did
 Joshua: and
 me: hard to determine
 Joshua: oh
 me: seems to shift back and forth
3:15 PM Joshua: i don't find her to be attractive - but then again - i'm sure i've fucked girls that you wouldn't find attractive either
  i wouldn't go out of my way
 me: well, of course
 Joshua: yes yes
3:16 PM relative to you
 me: this would be something where she comes over with liquor and pills and we take them and have sex and then I work on my laptop until she leaves
  like that last gf
  on the other hand
  actually, I'm going to pull the plug on this
 Joshua: i understand - not like the weekend catalina visits that are emotiionally charged
3:17 PM me: lol
 Joshua: lololol
  find em fuck em and forget em
  right barrett
 me: llllllllllllllllllllol
  bada bing bada boom
3:18 PM Joshua: stugots
3:22 PM me: yeah, there's no reason for me to interact with Miriam at all. Thanks, dad, you're the best.
 Joshua: lol
