Everything is...as well as can be expected, I suppose.

Thank you. Really. I'm not sure what there is to talk about, though.

Private 19centconstable July 27 2011, 01:38:18 UTC

Anything you'd like, really. I'm an excellent listener.

Private greatlightother July 27 2011, 01:39:42 UTC

I know you are. I hate that you were put in this position, though.

Private 19centconstable July 27 2011, 02:08:01 UTC

There's no need to think of it like that. I certainly don't mind chatting with you.

I had actually wanted to talk to somebody about something myself. I'm a bit disappointed, actually, as I thought I had an excellent wardening idea, but Mr. Spinola wasn't at all interested. I'm not sure where I went wrong.

Private greatlightother July 27 2011, 18:55:28 UTC

Thank you, Constable.

Sometimes they don't like the ideas because they're not ready for them yet.

What was the idea?

Re: Private 19centconstable July 27 2011, 19:59:19 UTC

Well, we had spoken before about how he had wanted to be a writer, and I've given that some thought myself. And I figured it might not seem so silly if we wrote something together. Well not together, but in the same room as one another, and then shared our progress. But it turns out he isn't interested in writing anymore. He has "gotten over it".

I'm a bit confused because we didn't speak about it that long ago.

Private greatlightother July 27 2011, 20:02:26 UTC

That's very strange. I think it's a good idea, but...maybe he just doesn't want to fail? Or...well, I have no idea.

Did you ask him what changed his mind? People don't "get over" something without reason.

I'm sorry, I don't want to pry into his business. But...it might help to ask that?

Re: Private 19centconstable July 27 2011, 20:09:54 UTC

I thought so too. And I did ask, and he just seems convinced he has grown out of it; found better uses for his time. I suppose interests do change...

Private greatlightother July 27 2011, 20:11:47 UTC

That quickly?

Re: Private 19centconstable July 27 2011, 20:20:08 UTC

Perhaps?

Private greatlightother July 27 2011, 20:26:14 UTC

Maybe you're right. But, if it's something he wanted to do at one point, then maybe there will be renewed interest in it soon!

Re: Private 19centconstable July 27 2011, 20:38:16 UTC

I do worry that, like you said, he's afraid to fail at it.

Re: Private greatlightother July 27 2011, 20:59:02 UTC

Well, that's definitely something to work on, then. He needs to feel successful before he'll attempt anything else, right?

Re: Private 19centconstable July 27 2011, 21:35:08 UTC

I wouldn't have thought Mr. Spinola thought himself to be unsuccessful, though.

Re: Private greatlightother July 27 2011, 22:07:20 UTC

I don't know him, Constable. So...I can't really say anything about that.

Re: Private 19centconstable July 27 2011, 22:31:57 UTC

He's very clever, and he wants to be involved in everything. I'm not certain he sleeps.

What sorts of things do you do with...I'm sorry, I don't know her name.
