I'm that guy

[trent__ford]

You know how sometimes you see some guy in the park or on the beach or at a bus stop and he's got his walkman, eyes closed and dancing, maybe singing aloud, maybe just mouthing words, oblivious to the rest of the world, and if he's not singing loud enough for you to hear, you wonder what he's listening to

What happened? I thought you were starting to feel better.

[trent__ford]

Just a melancholy mood, I think. Nothing in particular happened.

I'm sorry about all the crap you and Carson had to go through in Oz. That sucks bigtime.

To use a particularly annoying phrase I hear a lot: "Cheer up, emo kid." Seriously though, I hope you cheer up.

Eh, I took it harder than he did. He thinks it's funny. He keeps biting pillows now.

[trent__ford]

I haven't heard that phrase before. You know how out of the loop I can be. So it's not annoying yet. Thanks. I'm sure I will. It was just the sort of afternoon for having one song on repeat for far too long.

Okay, the image of Carson biting pillows is definitely funny. As long as I don't think about it too much.

Oh, lucky you for not hearing it. Sometimes being out of the loop can be a good thing, apparently. And I know those kind of afternoons. They suck, but they pass.

It's funny. Real funny. The first five hundred times. Then I kind of wanted to take the pillow and beat him with it, but I get that urge a lot, so.

[trent__ford]

Yeah, they do pass. I took it as a good sign when I finally turned that song off and went on to something else.

He probably deserves it. He might also like it too much. So perhaps you shouldn't give in to the urge.

[kyan_d]

That's definitely a good sign!

Hmm, you have a very good point. I would not put it past him to have a pillow-beating kink. Damn.
