3:57 PM Catalina: hey
 me: yo yo yo
3:58 PM these are pretty cute socks, I hung them up on my bamboo tie rack for safekeeping
 Catalina: thanks
  you are so lucky not to have an office job
 me: crackhead pete came by last night and went for his knife while arguing with Andy so I had to push him out of the apartment
3:59 PM Catalina: oh no, still with the drama
 me: I know, I worked at an ad firm for a month before quitting
  yes, but I told him we'd disable him if he came back, so hopefully he won't come back
  the uncouth fellow!
  THE SCOUNDREL!
4:00 PM thank God I got him out of there when I did, as our new roommate showed up two minutes later
  it would have been difficult to explain why I was fighting with a murderous Puerto Rican crackhead
 Catalina: haha
  also
  i am not a call girl
 me: trying to maintain the ambiance
 Catalina: i dont have "dates"
 me: call girls don't have affairs
4:01 PM sophisticated young Manhattan girls have affairs
 Catalina: i am also not sophisticated
 me: relative to this neighborhood, you are
4:02 PM maybe sophisticated is the wrong word
 Catalina: i need to go home.
 me: I've gotten about five e-mails regarding the craigslist ad for the room from girls who are not actually looking for a room
4:03 PM sick?
 Catalina: weird
  not really sick
  its just been a long day and i might kill someone if i stay here
 me: understood
 Catalina: ill talk to you later
 me: word
