Text Message to Kaysen: A Real Emergency

Who: Chance to Kaysen
Where: Text Message
When: Early Afternoon

i know i said i'd only text for emergencies, though if it were a real emergency, i think it'd be faster to call, as texting takes more time, but in any case, this is considered by me to be an emergency (don't panic, i haven't overheard any discussion on the flavoring of brains in quite sometime) - but anyway i was watching tv and flipped by scifi channel and have you seen Pumpkinhead yet? cuz it was on, and if you haven't, we're totally watching it next time. 80's horror campfest - a fucking classic. even if you have seen it, we're watching it next movie night. we could hang out monday? or tuesday? or whenever. or not. anytime's cool. with me, i mean. we dont have to watch a movie. we can do anything. whenever. wow this is a long message. sorry. ttyl - c

Dude, your idea of an emergency is seriously screwed. Pumpkinhead? Yeah, we can watch it. Has to be rented though, I don't want anything edited for tv. Whenever's cool. But seriously. A movie? Emergency=your mom dropped acid and kidnapped a bus full of penguins or something. ;p

I'll buy it. should have added it to my collection a long time ago. I amended the definition of emergency - did I forget to tell you that? well, I did. thinking about it though, I think my mom did drop acid when she was pregnant with me which would explain a lot, right? what about tomorrow night?

1:57pm

That explains a lot. I think I'm okay for tomorrow night. I don't usually have a lot in the way of plans. You'll have to re-define 'emergency' for me.

2:03pm

great. want me to pick you up? emergency: other than the dropping acid, kidnapping various arctic animals, and possible zombie apocalypse, is also defined as making sure kaysen st. james has seen various movie classics. you might as well restrict the word yourself because I could probably write a book on the new definition of emergency anytime I feel like texting you. - c

2:07pm

So basically, the new definition of 'emergency' = 'when Chance wants to text me'. Check. I'll have to write that one down. I'll board over, I feel like I haven't done that enough lately.

2:15pm

yeah, basically. sorry. sometimes I can't help myself but you know you like it. board over. i'll be here. - chance

11:02pm

why not? is everything okay? - c

11:04pm

I dunno. I just can't sleep. Ever like...can't shut your brain up?
-k

11:10pm

yeah, I know that feeling. my brain is a constant source of irritation to me sometimes. it's worse at night because you have nothing to distract you from it...what are you thinking about?

11:13pm

Too much to get into, I think. Kinda everything? I dunno. Yay, I'm full of useless information tonight, sorry. :( I guess I don't really have anything important to say, hope I didn't wake you up or anything.
-k

11:19pm

you didn't wake me up - its still kinda early for me. i know its difficult when you're going through something most people wouldn't understand. i'm always around if you ever want/need to talk about it. - c

11:27pm

Do you think I'm a freak?

11:30pm

just because you can do something pretty amazing doesn't mean you're a freak - and you know I don't, and would never, think of you in that sense. in all my moments of stupidity, i think i've made that pretty clear. - c

11:47pm

What if I am? What if there's something the matter with me like a disease or something?

11:50pm

if you have something wrong with you - it doesn't make you a freak either. sometimes ordinary people just have things about them that can't be explained and there's nothing wrong with that. if you're worried it might be something else - you should see a doctor just to make sure - but I have a feeling it's nothing like that.

12:15pm

I don't think a doctor could help me. Or...whatever. I just...nevermind. Thanks for talking to me. I should try to go back to sleep or something.

Re: 12:18pm

you don't need help because there's nothing wrong with you, and you're not alone in all of this either. try to get some sleep and i'll talk to you tomorrow. - c

12:29pm

Goodnight, Chance.
