I had a friend at that age, too, who learned to hate me because I was different.

Have you ever spoken to this young man - Ryan - since? We all do a lot of things as boys that we subsequently regret...

john_ispyro April 23 2007, 22:33:07 UTC

Really? That's sucks. I feel for you, man.

Nah, I haven't. Haven't been home in a real long time. And I really don't want to, either. Did you ever talk to that friend again, when you guys were older?

jerry_ashton April 23 2007, 22:39:44 UTC

Yes, he... We became very good at pretending that nothing had changed. But he kept his boy away from me, and seemed to have the idea that I could be saved through regular church attendance, and the love of a good woman.

He had no evil intent. Simply a lot of misconceptions. But, god, those misconceptions hurt when I was sixteen and as horrified at myself as he was of me.

Dude, we are being waaaay too emo these days. I'm going to make you have fun for your birthday.

Maybe we'll watch porm Stand By Me too.

john_ispyro April 23 2007, 22:35:25 UTC

AH-greed. We will have to have a good 'Cheer Up, Emo Kids' evening.

Stand By Me and The Princess Bride and then some porn? Sounds good to me.

I'm officially nicknaming Doug, Inigo. At least until we actually, you know... meet.

You REEEEEAAAAALLLLLYYY are way too emo for your own good, bucko. You should, like, do yoga or something. *grin* Wait... do badasses DO yoga?

john_ispyro April 24 2007, 01:48:05 UTC

Wait... do badasses DO yoga?

No, but we do like running on the treadmill a lot. Or, well, I do, anyway.

Inigo? Why Inigo? OH WAIT. You mean Indigo, right? Why would you do that? I'm pretty sure he isn't trying to revenge his father's death.

You might not have a best friend, but you HAVE friends. Even annoying friends from alternate realities who refuse to listen to you be all emo and whangsty.

Don't make me sing to you, John. I completely will.

john_ispyro April 24 2007, 01:50:16 UTC

...

I'm not whangsty, B.

Sing? Why would you sing to me?

benditlikebea April 24 2007, 02:11:49 UTC

You totally are. Accept it. Denial is so not hot.

And I WILL sing to you to make you smile. Or laugh, which is probably the more likely reaction. I'll bust out the Rainbow Connection on your ass so fast you won't know what hit you.

john_ispyro April 24 2007, 04:38:03 UTC

No, denial is not hot, but neither is being whansty. Which I'm NOT.

bust out the Rainbow Connection on your ass

...

That's funny in ways I'm pretty sure you didn't intend. *snort*

I.

That--that means a lot, Pyro.

And what he did, totally sucks.

john_ispyro April 24 2007, 04:41:49 UTC

*shrug* 'S no big deal.

Yeah. Yeah, it really does. Whatever, man, I'm over it.

izzy_chambers April 24 2007, 19:33:29 UTC

You and Doug? You guys sure seemed like best friends, to me.

I had a best friend once. Her name was Aimee. I loved how she spelled it, and Aimee and Izzy rhymed, right? Anyway, I told her I liked girls, and she stopped being friends with me. In college, I didn't have time for friends, really? Anyway, I guess my point is, I kind of get it, you know?

Um. Is Rogue nice? I--I hope she is. We're, um. Going to have dinner.

I hope you are doing well and don't blow yourself up, okay? You are definitely my favorite mutant terrorist who wants to destroy all humans :)

john_ispyro April 24 2007, 19:56:04 UTC

Well, I'm not denying that Doug and I are close. I did say that.

Sorry to hear about your friend doing that. Something like that always sucks.

Yeah, Rogue's cool. You're having dinner with her? Why are you having dinner with her?

I'm doing good, and not getting blown up. And I don't want to destroy all the humans, Iz. Just rule over them.

izzy_chambers April 24 2007, 20:06:52 UTC

Then maybe he really is your best friend? I don't know, I haven't one in forever so what do I know!

Yeah, it did. But last I saw on her Myspace page heard, she's totally living a boring life, so, whatever, Aimee with your fancy name!!

...you don't know? Why I'm having dinner with Rogue? Um. I'm kind of...just maybe you should ask her?

Good, I'm glad you're not getting blown up. And it was just a joke, John! Or do I have be all official and call you Pyro?

I wanted to tell you. I never told SHIELD about your visit. Neither did Dr. Essex. He didn't do it because he doesn't care about their rules or whatever, but I didn't because it would seem kind of...I just don't think I should.

john_ispyro April 24 2007, 21:37:52 UTC

... no, I don't know. Haven't really had the chance to talk to her today. Does it really matter if I heard it from you or her? I mean, everything's okay, right? How do you even know Rogue??

[locked]

Thanks, I do appreciate that. A lot. I, uh. Kinda got in shit for staying there anyway. Not from SHIELD, though, admittedly, I was fucking stupid to stay there, for so many reasons. But, whatever. I'm glad it worked out, over all.
