  thought you might enjoy this
4:01 PM Elizabeth: yo
  how's it goin
4:02 PM me: pretty sleazy
 Elizabeth: yeah me too
  way sleazy and slutty
 me: whooooooooooooooo!
 Elizabeth: yeah im living the life
4:03 PM me: when you coming up again?
 Elizabeth: 4/23-4/26
  whats your work schedule like?
 me: oh, April
4:04 PM it's geared around your visit, of course
  still a freelancer
 Elizabeth: oh good. that's what i was thinking but wasn't sure
  talked to john earlier. i'm staying with him...how close do you live to each other?
4:05 PM me: reasonably close
  20 minute walk
  a few minutes by train
  I'll come crash at his place for at least one night while you're here
  and will be around during the days anyway
4:06 PM SO THAT WE CAN HAVE SEX
 Elizabeth: ok cool. my cousin just decided to come too
 me: incidentally, I have a bunch of girlfriends now
 Elizabeth: oh yeah she can watch
  oh really?
 me: also, launching a giant conspiracy
 Elizabeth: giant conspiracy?
 me: yep
  Project PM
4:07 PM ostensibly a network by which to increase the influence of bloggers and reduce the influence of shitty prominent columnists
4:08 PM long term, a method by which to hasten the arrival of non-state entities comprised of extraordinarily capable individuals working in collaboration to diminish the power of national governments
  plus I've got backing
  I'll tell you all about when you arrive
4:09 PM Elizabeth: yeah youve peaked my interest.
  you are really moving up in the world.
 me: writing for New York Observer now, too

6 minutes
4:16 PM Elizabeth: damn no wonder you have so many girlfriends
4:18 PM me: yeah, I've become somewhat more viable as a boyfriend
  I don't live in filth anymore, either
4:19 PM Elizabeth: are you still living with that dj?
 me: nope, I ditched all those people
  live with Mirna now
4:20 PM Elizabeth: oh mirna lives there?
 me: no, I moved out
  we got a one-bedroom in Williamsburg
  I live in the den
  for just $500 a month!
 Elizabeth: i hope she doesn't try to kill me if i see her
 me: still a bargain, because she's never here
  I think she's gotten over her unwarranted dislike for you
4:21 PM Elizabeth: ok good
 me: if not, I'll tell her to knock it off
 Elizabeth: ha thanks
 me: she's now more receptive to my commands insomuch as that she plans to ride on my coattails to some extent
4:22 PM Elizabeth: she's smart
 me: yep
  ol' Caleb's moving up in the world too, as you've probably heard
 Elizabeth: though not a fan of hangers-on but friends are different i guess
  yes i was talking to him earlier too
4:23 PM i'm glad he's settled for the time being
  was worried for awhile
 me: yeah, me too, wasn't sure he could pull this off, but he was right
4:24 PM and now he feeds me inside info from that affiliate
  the wacky conservative shit that goes on in the newsroom
  which I'll now be feeding to some of my contacts
  in order to obscure the source of the leak
  reporters e-mail each other anti-Obama jokes
4:25 PM I'm waiting for them to send around something racist and then we'll pounce
