stripeznstarz50: yeah well you can’t see me right now
stripeznstarz50: maybe I gained a hundred pounds since the last time we webcammed

stripeznstarz50: osmosis is your friend
onceandthefuture: eh?
stripeznstarz50: when you put your textbook on your head so your brain can absorb the material directly
stripeznstarz50: osmosis
onceandthefuture: I see
onceandthefuture: was that your preferred method of studying?
stripeznstarz50: well duh
stripeznstarz50: nothing works quite like osmosis
onceandthefuture: well I’ll have to try it tonight then

stripeznstarz50: unfortunately
stripeznstarz50: I’ve done it before
stripeznstarz50: it’s matt btw
onceandthefuture: I figured
onceandthefuture: how long is that drive?
stripeznstarz50: about three days
onceandthefuture: Christ
onceandthefuture: I can’t imagine spending that much time with my own mother
stripeznstarz50: hahaha it’s not so bad
stripeznstarz50: it’s not like my mum’s rotten like yours
onceandthefuture: I take it al told you about that
stripeznstarz50: ranted on several occasions more like
stripeznstarz50: he worries about you a lot ;)
onceandthefuture: that’s kind of him
stripeznstarz50: xD
onceandthefuture: are you or your mum driving?
stripeznstarz50: both of us
stripeznstarz50: mainly me though
stripeznstarz50: I drive a lot for away games and stuff, and after papa swore up and down the river I was the best driver besides him he’d ever met and gave me the truck they sort of got used to me driving everywhere I guess?
stripeznstarz50: I’m totally better than Al don’t believe him if he tries to tell you otherwise
onceandthefuture: I believe you
onceandthefuture: I’ve seen his driving
stripeznstarz50: you let him drive a Ferrari?
stripeznstarz50: YOU HAVE ACCESS TO A FERRARI?????
onceandthefuture: what is it with your family and italicised ‘Ferrari’
onceandthefuture: it’s a friend’s
onceandthefuture: and sometimes I borrow it without asking for the day
onceandthefuture: having a spare key to it helps
stripeznstarz50: duuuuude
stripeznstarz50: introduce me to this friend
onceandthefuture: next time you come to England I’ll be glad to
stripeznstarz50: damn
stripeznstarz50: can’t drive there
onceandthefuture: not really
onceandthefuture: although I’d love to see you try
stripeznstarz50: I wonder if the Bering land bridge is open this time of year
onceandthefuture: not so sure about that
stripeznstarz50: whatever
stripeznstarz50: anyway if I want to keep it to three days instead of four I better go
onceandthefuture: all right
onceandthefuture: don’t get killed
stripeznstarz50: I always live
onceandthefuture: hehe well good luck
stripeznstarz50: :)
stripeznstarz50: Al again but brb seeing him off
onceandthefuture: of course
stripeznstarz50: I hate saying bye to Matt
stripeznstarz50: it’s seriously like the only time I think about crying
onceandthefuture: what about horror films?
onceandthefuture: and Disney?
onceandthefuture: the fear of the future and things going bump in the night?
stripeznstarz50: please stop
onceandthefuture: oh you really are cryin aren’t you
stripeznstarz50: no!
stripeznstarz50: not really
onceandthefuture: I’m shit at comfort
stripeznstarz50: I know
stripeznstarz50: it’s okay
stripeznstarz50: I’ll get over it soon
stripeznstarz50: it just takes a bit sometimes
onceandthefuture: all right
onceandthefuture: anything I can do?
stripeznstarz50: teleport over here and give me a hug
onceandthefuture: sorry, fresh out of teleportation machines
onceandthefuture: can I take a rain check for two weeks?
stripeznstarz50: huh?
stripeznstarz50: OH
stripeznstarz50: RIGHT
stripeznstarz50: TRIP
stripeznstarz50: KFKAHFSJAKHUWORUWQ*HK
onceandthefuture: my sentiments exactly
stripeznstarz50: it’s only two weeks away
stripeznstarz50: and then we get to spend a year together
onceandthefuture: I like how you phrase that
onceandthefuture: “get to”
stripeznstarz50: well yeah!
stripeznstarz50: of course we’ll have toris and Feliks chaperoning
onceandthefuture: I’ve started to get the feeling it’ll be the other way around
stripeznstarz50: hahahahah yeah
stripeznstarz50: this is going to be so weird
stripeznstarz50: rreat
stripeznstarz50: *great
stripeznstarz50: but weird
onceandthefuture: hahaha ture
onceandthefuture: true*
stripeznstarz50: we just can’t type today can we?
onceandthefuture: nope
onceandthefuture: I’ve never not been in school before
stripeznstarz50: me neither
stripeznstarz50: even during split log we had a tutor
onceandthefuture: I’m sure this’ll be just as educational
stripeznstarz50: oh totally
stripeznstarz50: I’ll get to see ust how different the Spanish I learned is from European Spanish
stripeznstarz50: and all of the other languages along the way
onceandthefuture: if there’s one thing I never would have pegged you for
onceandthefuture: it would be ‘good at languages’
stripeznstarz50: :)
stripeznstarz50: I like language
stripeznstarz50: it’s interesting to start from the ground up and see how a culture and generations can make something complex and evergrowing and so different from everyone else
stripeznstarz50: and if you start young it’s easier
onceandthefuture: did you have the Spanish nanny or something?
stripeznstarz50: nah
stripeznstarz50: both my moms hated the idea of nannies
stripeznstarz50: mom and Matt’s mom I mean
stripeznstarz50: there was one Mexican famil up in matt’s town who randomly decided they needed to live in northern Ontario
stripeznstarz50: and they lived next door
stripeznstarz50: still do
stripeznstarz50: and they are awesome
stripeznstarz50: had a girl a few years older than us who was that kid on the block who was older and therefore knew everything
stripeznstarz50: y’know?
onceandthefuture: I believe so
stripeznstarz50: anyway
stripeznstarz50: she taught me and matt and sometimes matt’s older bro how to salsa and tended to chatter at us in Spanish
stripeznstarz50: and I haven’t been able to drop it ever since
stripeznstarz50: matt did though
stripeznstarz50: picked up French instead
stripeznstarz50: he’s a Canadian who frequently plays French Canadians in hockey
stripeznstarz50: so he felt he should know the difference between normal French and insults
onceandthefuture: I do really like your cousin
stripeznstarz50: I know
stripeznstarz50: the feeling is mutual
stripeznstarz50: he did keep the salsa dancing though
onceandthefuture: did you?
stripeznstarz50: of course!
stripeznstarz50: I’ll show you sometime ;)
onceandthefuture: I might hold you to that
stripeznstarz50: I get to lead though
onceandthefuture: only until I figure it out
onceandthefuture: then I will fight you for it
stripeznstarz50: nuh-uh
stripeznstarz50: I teach, I know, I lead
stripeznstarz50: end of story
onceandthefuture: hmph
stripeznstarz50: besides, it’ll be easier for me to lead you anyway
stripeznstarz50: you’re so much tinier than me ;)
onceandthefuture: no I’m not@!
onceandthefuture: you’re just too big!
stripeznstarz50: I’m good-sized
stripeznstarz50: you’re almost like that tacky middle-school girl saying
stripeznstarz50: “fun-sized’
onceandthefuture: excuse me
stripeznstarz50: that’s what we call bite-sized candy bars here in the states
onceandthefuture: well fuck to you too
onceandthefuture: I am no where near “fun-sized”
stripeznstarz50: sure you’re not
stripeznstarz50: and matt’s taller than me
onceandthefuture: but he is
stripeznstarz50: no he’s not we’re the same height!
onceandthefuture: I’m pretty sure he’s got at least a cm or two on you
stripeznstarz50: he’s brainwashed you with his evil Canadian powers!!!!
onceandthefuture: I’m just telling you what my eyes see
stripeznstarz50: I dislike you
onceandthefuture: well that’s not very nice
stripeznstarz50: I never said I was a role model
onceandthefuture: heh
stripeznstarz50: all right I feel better now
stripeznstarz50: I’m going to ggo eat my feelings and watch an NCIS marathon
