You know...I really don't get people sometimes. I was in the store earlier buying some ice cream, and these ladies in the freezer section were talking about how they were "totally breaking their new year's resolutions" by buying their fudge ripple.

Except new year's just happened. It hasn't even been two weeks! I didn't even know that was

I don't know about everyone... I thought the whole point was to keep it for the entire year.

[binarysky]

That's what I thought! Less than two weeks makes it seem like they weren't even trying.

[corpsecakes]

[Jack snorts.] Maybe they weren't serious enough about it.

[binarysky]

Must not have been. Though...I wouldn't want to give up ice cream for a year either. But I wouldn't have resolved not to have it!

[corpsecakes]

Maybe it wasn't just ice cream, though... It sounds like those ladies resolved to watch their weight or something.

[binarysky]

They didn't look very fat.

[corpsecakes]

Women can be...sensitive about that sort of thing. [Not that he would know personally.] So I hear.

[binarysky]

That's...kind of stupid.

[corpsecakes]

I don't know about stupid, but I don't get it either... I just don't question it.

[binarysky]

Weird. My friend Olette was never like that.

[Friend. Computer-construct-programmed-to-be-his-imaginary-friend. Same thing.]

[corpsecakes]

I guess it's an age thing. [Since he doubts this kid would have many adults he'd consider friends.]

[binarysky]

Not her. She'd never act like that. And she liked ice cream as much as the rest of us.
