Me (8:02:39 PM): what?

Tom (8:02:43 PM): one sec

Tom (8:02:54 PM):

"Tom: hadnt planned to go

Dave: Why not?

Tom: firstly:

Tom: its kinda a lot of money

Tom: second:

Tom: I dont usually enjoy dances and shit

Tom: third:

Tom: I dont really want to go stag to the biggest social event of the year

Tom: Lastly:

Tom: Why? I don't see any reason."

Me (8:03:10 PM): ah

Me (8:03:24 PM): i suppose I'll go ahead and ask Tuba Kid then

Tom (8:03:31 PM): o_0

Me (8:03:46 PM): what?

Tom (8:03:55 PM): I dont like him at all.

Me (8:03:55 PM): I am asking you to go to prom with me as a friend

Me (8:04:06 PM): why?

Tom (8:04:08 PM): hah, no

Tom (8:04:14 PM): it wasn't "eeew, its aidan"

Me (8:04:18 PM): oh ok

Tom (8:04:18 PM): it was "argh, tuba kid"

Tom (8:04:38 PM): yeesh

Tom (8:04:43 PM): did you ask Julian?

Me (8:04:48 PM): eehhhhh

Me (8:04:55 PM): he keeps talking about how he doesn't want to go

Me (8:04:56 PM): plus

Me (8:05:07 PM): there was that whole

Me (8:05:08 PM): thing

Tom (8:05:11 PM): Yeah

Tom (8:05:15 PM): but then theres also that

Tom (8:05:19 PM): "never hurts to try" thing

Me (8:05:24 PM): well but

Me (8:05:31 PM): I don't want to get him re-freaked out

Tom (8:05:44 PM): Did he freak?

Me (8:05:50 PM): and I don't want to drag him to a thing he's not going to have fun at

Me (8:05:53 PM): well

Me (8:05:55 PM): a little

Tom (8:05:58 PM): wow

Tom (8:06:04 PM): thats a feat right there

Me (8:06:07 PM): but now we're kind of pretending it didn't happen

Tom (8:06:10 PM): I dont think I've ever seen him freak out

Me (8:06:11 PM): and everything's fine

Me (8:06:28 PM): this was him freaking out though:

Me (8:06:37 PM): he said "I'm getting kind of freaked out" over the phone

Me (8:06:45 PM): and then he avoided eye contact with me for two days

Me (8:07:30 PM): it actually worked out surprisingly well

Me (8:07:39 PM): I don't want to screw it up

Tom (8:07:58 PM): Mmkay

Tom (8:09:29 PM): still... Tuba Kid.

Tom (8:09:30 PM): Argh.

Me (8:09:35 PM): why don't you like him?

Me (8:09:40 PM): I know why eric doesn't like him...*

Tom (8:09:44 PM): I don't know!

Tom (8:09:49 PM): Eric is just a bitch

Tom (8:09:55 PM): But I just cant stand the kid

Me (8:10:04 PM): hm

Me (8:10:07 PM): I dunno

Me (8:10:14 PM): I am trying to think of other people

Me (8:10:21 PM): no one comes to mind

Tom (8:10:23 PM): Dave?

Me (8:10:29 PM): he's going with Molly

Tom (8:10:32 PM): Oh.

Me (8:10:40 PM): yeah

Me (8:11:01 PM): I feel like it might still be an option to go with them

Tom (8:11:02 PM): erm

Me (8:11:07 PM): well I mean

Me (8:11:11 PM): they are going as friends

Me (8:11:15 PM): but it might not be

Me (8:11:18 PM): and I don't really want to go there.**

Tom (8:12:10 PM): mm

Tom (8:12:19 PM): ...I think Bonnie and Julian should go together

Me (8:12:24 PM): haha

Tom (8:12:27 PM): just for the crazy awkwardness factor

Me (8:12:27 PM): oh man

Tom (8:12:36 PM): They would not talk.

Me (8:12:36 PM): do they even know each other?

Tom (8:12:44 PM): Or touch each other.

Me (8:12:51 PM): I mean, do they ever hold conversations with each other?

Tom (8:12:51 PM): Or look directly at one another.

Me (8:12:59 PM): because if they do, I want to witness one

Tom (8:13:02 PM): hah

Tom (8:13:11 PM): Bonnie doesnt speak unless spoken to...

Tom (8:13:27 PM): Julian doesn't speak until someone else has already finished.

Me (8:13:31 PM): she's getting louder

Tom (8:13:32 PM): It'd go nowhere fast.

Tom (8:13:36 PM): True.

Me (8:14:44 PM): maybe when two quiet people are talking to each other

Me (8:14:49 PM): there's some kind of reverse effect

Tom (8:14:49 PM): !

Me (8:14:54 PM): and it's a really good conversation

Tom (8:15:07 PM): they could communicate using sign language! Also, braile.

Tom (8:15:32 PM): (two mutually exclusive modes of communication, there.)

Me (8:15:43 PM): yeah, I noticed

Tom (8:17:10 PM): hee

Me (8:17:18 PM): what?

Tom (8:17:21 PM): Schultz.

Me (8:17:26 PM): what about him?

Tom (8:17:29 PM): ask him

Tom (8:17:33 PM): 'cause that'd be funny

Me (8:17:37 PM): oh

Me (8:17:40 PM): pf

Me (8:17:48 PM): he probably already has a date

Me (8:18:10 PM): I think people underestimate the pimpdom of the Schultz.

Tom (8:18:13 PM): eh, yeah

Me (8:18:44 PM): Imma go do homework

Tom (8:18:49 PM): See, this is another reason I'm not going

Tom (8:18:54 PM): finding a date is a bitch

Me (8:19:03 PM): pf

Me (8:19:04 PM): yeah


  • Because his father is a local politician who Eric dislikes and because he once made a very slightly snarky comment about the deparment of youth services, which Eric works for.

** Oh. So I guess I just went there. Uhhh... get back to me after I ask Tuba Kid.
