RubyMars: We’re friends. You don’t owe me anything. All I wanted was to not do whatever it was that I said or did last time.
AHall80: You didn’t do anything, RC
RubyMars: ….
AHall80: Serious RubyMars: All right.
RubyMars: I missed talking to you.
RubyMars: That’s all.
AHall80: I was busy
RubyMars: Okay.
AHall80: I missed talking to you too, all right?
RubyMars: Okay.
AHall80: …
RubyMars: …
AHall80: I’m leaving pretty soon from the looks of it, but I’ll make sure to try and let you know before we ship out so you don’t worry.
RubyMars: Okay.
AHall80: …
RubyMars: Be safe.
Ahall80: You too. Bye, Rubes.
RubyMars: Bye.
May 21, 2009
AHall80: Hey
RubyMars: Hi.
AHall80: You still mad at me?
RubyMars: I was never mad at you.
AHall80: I was never mad at you either RubyMars: Okay.
AHall80: Serious RubyMars: Are you sure?
RubyMars: I know I’m always complaining about people being mean to me, but I can handle the truth.
AHall80: Yes I’m sure
RubyMars: Okay then.
AHall80: For real?
RubyMars: What?
AHall80: That’s all you need and you’re like “okay”?
RubyMars: ….
RubyMars: Yeah. Why wouldn’t I? You’re not lying to me, are you?
RubyMars: I already asked you a bunch of times if anything was wrong, you had your chance.
AHall80: No
RubyMars: Okay.
RubyMars: That’s what I figured. If you were upset about me doing something, I’d hope you would tell me. If there’s something you want to talk about, you can tell me anything too.
AHall80: Yeah
AHall80: I know
RubyMars: Then we’re good.
RubyMars: I didn’t mean to flip out on you last time. I’m sorry.
AHall80: You didn’t flip out
AHall80: Much
RubyMars: :) RubyMars: We’re all right then?
AHall80: Yeah
AHall80: I’ve had a lot on my mind lately. I didn’t mean to put anything on you. Sorry for scaring you. I hadn’t thought about it.
RubyMars: I get it. I’m sure you do. It’s okay.
RubyMars: How’s everything?
AHall80: Good. Ready to get the hell out of here
RubyMars: I bet.
AHall80: Hey, what’s happened with your sister?
RubyMars: Nothing at first, but her coach called my mom a few days ago and said that one of the younger skaters told her that they’d seen Jasmine at the rink busting her butt, trying to do some jumps before people started showing up. It’s too early to say victory, but I think it’s a good sign. Yesterday I heard her running on the treadmill in the garage.
AHall80: Good, that’s great RubyMars: I think so. :) RubyMars: I’ll let you know what happens.
RubyMars: I thought about e-mailing you, but I didn’t.
AHall80: I noticed.
RubyMars: Har har har
RubyMars: I didn’t get any e-mails from you either, buster.
AHall80: :]
AHall80: You’re the only one I’m still messaging. I already said bye to my two other HaS matches, and my family and friends know I’ll let them know as soon as my flight is off.
RubyMars: You’re making me feel special.
RubyMars: If you’re trying to suck up to me for ignoring me for two weeks, it’s working.
AHall80: None of them make me laugh like you do
AHall80: I’m not trying to suck up. :]
RubyMars: Sure you aren’t. :) RubyMars: Speaking of… I’ll tell you something funny that happened a couple of days ago.
RubyMars: My allergies have been really bad lately, and I haven’t been taking any medication. I was at my older brother’s condo helping him paint and we had the windows open. I’d been holding in my pee because he was busy doing the bathroom. I sneezed so hard I peed myself. A lot. So much. There was no way for me to hide it. He laid down on the floor when I told him what happened, covering his face with his hands.
AHall80: ….
RubyMars: Funny, huh?
AHall80: Yes
AHall80: Yes
RubyMars: :) Luckily he has a washer and a dryer in his condo. He promised not to tell anyone, and luckily he still hasn’t, so I’m holding out hope he doesn’t blurt it out one day while he’s drunk.
AHall80: I wouldn’t do that to my sister.
RubyMars: He would, lol.
AHall80: You’re not worried I’ll tell somebody?
RubyMars: No. You wouldn’t do that to me.
RubyMars: How is your sister anyway?
AHall80: She’s good from what I heard last e-mail. My brother said she’s back to acting like normal.
RubyMars: I’m happy to hear that.
AHall80: Me too
AHall80: Have you gotten more work?
RubyMars: Only a little, but one is a big job. One of the local theaters reached out to me two days ago about doing costumes for their play. Their usual costume designer quit unexpectedly and hasn’t finished them, and I said I could finish her work. I have three days before costume rehearsals, but I’ll trade sleep for money.
AHall80: How’d they get your number?
RubyMars: One of the actors is friends with my big sister. :) AHall80: Whatever works RubyMars: That’s what I said.
RubyMars: Anywho, have you heard anything else about Scotland?
AHall80: Nothing new yet
AHall80: Ready to go
AHall80: The new unit showed up already. I’ll be heading out any day now
RubyMars: Air conditioning everywhere!
AHall80: Plumbing RubyMars: Beer!
AHall80: Pizza RubyMars: Clean clothes!
AHall80: No sand
RubyMars: No mice!
AHall80: No mosquitoes RubyMars: Smaller chances of dehydration!
AHall80: :]
AHall80: You’re something else
RubyMars: Something good?
AHall80: Very good
RubyMars: :) AHall80: My bad on the last few weeks.
AHall80: I missed talking to you too
RubyMars: Nobody told you you couldn’t talk to me.
AHall80: Way to lay down the guilt trip
RubyMars: It’s the truth, isn’t it? :) RubyMars: I’m just messing with you.
AHall80: Nah, you got a point. It is the truth.
AHall80: My bad
RubyMars: I know, it’s fine. I forgive you.
AHall80: You forgive everyone, don’t you?
RubyMars: For the most part. Holding grudges takes too much energy and time.
RubyMars: I don’t want to live my life pissed off, you know?
AHall80: I know.
AHall80: Huh
RubyMars: We’re still the platonic version of Ruron.
RubyMars: If you want.
AHall80: …yeah
AHall80: I gotta go, but I’ll write you before I head out. I’ve got this feeling it’s any day now.
RubyMars: Okay. Be safe. If I don’t hear from you before you leave, have a good flight and make sure you take a book with you to read when you aren’t snoring away.
AHall80: Har har
AHall80: I missed talking to you.
AHall80: Bye, Ruby Cube
RubyMars: Bye, stalker
May 25, 2009
AHall80: Tell me something RubyMars: I fell down the stairs today. I was wearing socks and my heel just slipped on the edge. It’s a miracle I didn’t break my arm.
RubyMars: My butt was like a stack of dominos on each step going down.
AHall80: Ruby
RubyMars: It wasn’t my most graceful moment. No one was home, so there’s that.
AHall80: No video?
RubyMars: No video. Sorry for bursting your dreams.
AHall80: That’s on my list of things I’d like to see after a pizza with double pepperoni.
RubyMars: I’m so honored busting my butt is on your list after pizza, lol.
AHall80: :]
AHall80: Before mac and cheese too
RubyMars: Lol
RubyMars: You never tell me if embarrassing, dumb stuff happens to you.
AHall80: Because it doesn’t RubyMars: Liar.
AHall80: Heh
AHall80: I put my underwear on inside out once.
RubyMars: Once.
RubyMars: Get out.
AHall80: :]
RubyMars: Want a new joke? It’s been a while.
AHall80: Sure
RubyMars: What has four wheels and flies?
RubyMars: A garbage truck.
AHall80: They’re so bad they’re good.
RubyMars: I know!
AHall80: :]
RubyMars: I bought my plane ticket to go see my dad.
AHall80: Yeah? When?
RubyMars: July 8th, I’m going for a week.
AHall80: Nice
AHall80: I gotta go. I just wanted to get on real quick and say hi.
RubyMars: Sure. :) RubyMars: Be safe.
AHall80: Bye.
RubyMars: Bye.
May 27, 2009
AHall80: I’m leaving really soon.
RubyMars: Really?
AHall80: Really for real.
RubyMars: !!!!!
AHall80: :]
RubyMars: Okay. Have a safe flight.
