I hate the frakking friend zone, you know? No girl ever seems to see me as anything besides... I don't know, a kid. Or any guy, for that matter, but I'm so afraid of my own bicuriosity that I don't even want to admit it to myself. I'm not that young

[There's quiet on the air for a moment]

Sometimes ulterior motives is what we get.

[illgrowoutofit]

Sure. Doesn't mean it doesn't suck.

[risetwice]

It does.

[illgrowoutofit]

[Oh. Solidarity. That's... actually comforting.]

Yeah, seriously. I just don't get-- [he hesitates] --some people.

[risetwice]

What don't you get?

[illgrowoutofit]

I dunno... screwing someone over to get what you want, or make yourself feel better, I guess. I don't get why people do that.

[risetwice]

You can't always know someone's motivations.

[illgrowoutofit]

...Yeah, I guess. But sometimes people are just... selfish.

[risetwice]

Maybe.

[illgrowoutofit]

People need to be like, I dunno, more... considerate or whatever. That's what I think.

[risetwice]

That's probably true, too.

[illgrowoutofit]

Yeah! Yeah.

...Sorry. I'm kinda venting. Didn't mean to do that.

[risetwice]

That's all right, really.

[illgrowoutofit]

Nah, I really don't wanna get all... girly, share-our-feelings time on you.

[risetwice]

Do you have anyone to talk to about this sort of thing? I mean, someone who isn't a stranger on the Network.

[illgrowoutofit]

I know people, but... I can handle this on my own, really. I'm just in a weird mood today, that's all.
