[10:30:27 PM] noelle: hey

[10:30:43 PM] gretchenqrst says: hey
[10:30:48 PM] gretchenqrst says: how've ya been?

[10:31:00 PM] noelleqrst says: pretty good. and you?

[10:31:15 PM] gretchenqrst says: not bad.

[10:31:24 PM] noelleqrst says: are your dandelions still fresh?

[10:32:00 PM] gretchenqrst says: not really. they're sort of droopy

[10:32:29 PM] noelleqrst says: bummer. you should demand new ones. promptly.

[10:32:54 PM] gretchenqrst says: i don't know how much he'd appreciate that

[10:33:58 PM] noelleqrst says: oh, come on. what else has he got to do?

[10:34:19 PM] gretchenqrst says: this is true.
[10:34:23 PM] gretchenqrst says: oh wait... GET A JOB

[10:34:47 PM] noelleqrst says: oh yeah... that.
[10:36:38 PM] noelleqrst says: is he even trying to get a job?

[10:39:43 PM] gretchenqrst says: He says he is, but i don't know how hard
[10:39:57 PM] gretchenqrst says: have you done anything interesting lately?

[10:41:09 PM] noelleqrst says: just been studying for french, but you arent going to change the subject that easily. if hes not looking hard for a job, what's he doing? have you been spending a lot of time with him?

[10:45:01 PM] gretchenqrst says: he's not doing all that much from what i can tell. picking dandylions? wandering around.

[10:47:00 PM] gretchenqrst says: i've been seeing him as much as i can. in between school and homework

[10:48:06 PM] noelleqrst says: yeah, junior year is tight like that.
[10:48:30 PM] noelleqrst says: it helps to have a respite. aka a boy.

[10:48:53 PM] gretchenqrst says: this is true.
[10:49:01 PM] gretchenqrst says: how's your school going?

[10:49:16 PM] noelleqrst says: its good.

[10:49:33 PM] gretchenqrst says: wow. you're unspecific today

[10:50:42 PM] noelleqrst says: sorry? it's school, you know. mostly intro classes, nothing especially interesting.

[10:52:11 PM] gretchenqrst says: do you miss chicago?

[10:52:59 PM] noelleqrst says: new york is fun. theres more... well everything.

[10:53:10 PM] gretchenqrst says: like what?

[10:53:54 PM] noelleqrst says: you know, stuff to do... opportunities... people. everything.

[10:54:28 PM] gretchenqrst says: have you met any new friends? any boys?

[10:55:33 PM] noelleqrst says: umm. well my roommate kaiya is nice...

[10:55:49 PM] gretchenqrst says: and the second question....

[10:56:46 PM] noelleqrst says: yeah, ive met boys. its a coed school. theres an entire floor of them right below me.

[10:57:04 PM] gretchenqrst says: anyone special?

[10:57:18 PM] noelleqrst says: define special.

[10:59:11 PM] gretchenqrst says: oh god. come on! special:1. distinguished or different from what is ordinary or usual: a special occasion; to fix something special.
2. extraordinary; exceptional, as in amount or degree; especial: special importance.
3. being such in an exceptional degree; particularly valued: a special friend.

[11:00:39 PM] noelleqrst says: distinguished or different, extraordinary, exeptional.... i guess.... maybe

[11:00:54 PM] gretchenqrst says: elaborate...!!

[11:01:46 PM] noelleqrst says: every girl loves a boy with an accent, right?

[11:01:54 PM] gretchenqrst says: right

[11:02:04 PM] noelleqrst says: french accents... are no exeption

[11:02:26 PM] gretchenqrst says: mmm what's his name?

[11:04:18 PM] noelleqrst says: ok i was just supposed to get tutoring from him, because this french class is really fast paced, but... i ended up learning more about adrian than french...

[11:04:54 PM] gretchenqrst says: adrian eh? doesn't sound very french

[11:05:08 PM] noelleqrst says: adrien if you want it to be spelled french

[11:05:31 PM] gretchenqrst says: well, how does he spell it?

[11:05:40 PM] noelleqrst says: i dunno, ive never asked...
[11:06:00 PM] noelleqrst says: the spelling of names was never really a priority, to be honest

[11:06:18 PM] gretchenqrst says: preoccupied with other things? ;)

[11:06:33 PM] noelleqrst says: wouldnt you like to know, hahaha
[11:07:05 PM] noelleqrst says: hes got this really cool appartment in greenwich village

[11:07:40 PM] gretchenqrst says: and i assume you spend all your time there.

[11:07:40 PM] noelleqrst says: its way nicer than the dorms, so im over there kind of a lot...

[11:08:27 PM] gretchenqrst says: doing more than studying
[11:08:31 PM] gretchenqrst says: i'm sure

[11:08:36 PM] noelleqrst says: apparently french class is harder than i expected!

[11:09:13 PM] gretchenqrst says: well no kidding, if your tutor isn't teaching you, but throwing partys instead

[11:09:14 PM] noelleqrst says: actually...

[11:09:29 PM] gretchenqrst says: what?

[11:10:04 PM] noelleqrst says: Adrien asked me if i want to move in... since im over there all the time anyway, you know?
[11:10:20 PM] noelleqrst says: and the dorms do kinda stink...

[11:10:28 PM] gretchenqrst says: are you going to?

[11:11:04 PM] noelleqrst says: i dont know. mom would flip.
[11:11:14 PM] noelleqrst says: oh yeah, so that means dont tell her about this.

[11:11:23 PM] gretchenqrst says: i won't tell her
[11:11:43 PM] gretchenqrst says: do you love him?

[11:12:30 PM] noelleqrst says: ... i think so. i havent known him that long.. but aw man gretchen, you should meet him, he's amazing.
[11:13:30 PM] noelleqrst says: kaiya's not so sure about all this. maybe she just doesnt want her roomie to bail.
[11:13:39 PM] noelleqrst says: i would feel bad about that

[11:13:42 PM] gretchenqrst says: will she have to pay more?

[11:14:49 PM] noelleqrst says: kaiya? i dont think so. i think its a flat price for room and board. its more the lack of our amazing adventures that would be a bummer if i move

[11:15:23 PM] gretchenqrst says: oh i see. what kind of adventures?

[11:18:04 PM] noelleqrst says: whip cream faces for every sleeping freshman, large posters of strange creatures appearing on people's beds when they pull back the covers, finding new ways to mess with people in elevators... oh so many good things like that

[11:18:51 PM] gretchenqrst says: that's incredible. i love it! what elevator tricks have you come up with?

[11:21:18 PM] noelleqrst says: we hid a tape recorder in it one time playing a man's voice making lewd comments in there one time, and every time a woman came out of the elevator she'd look all mad and flustered. i think one of them actually slapped another man one time, ha... he was so confused...

[11:21:52 PM] gretchenqrst says: oh man! that's hillarious!

[11:22:00 PM] gretchenqrst says: nothing exciting ever happens here

[11:22:33 PM] noelleqrst says: maybe you should be less boring. go be exciting yourself

[11:23:14 PM] gretchenqrst says: but there's never anything exciting to do!

[11:23:23 PM] noelleqrst says: slushies happen to be very exciting

[11:23:29 PM] gretchenqrst says: oh?

[11:24:31 PM] noelleqrst says: they do. trust me. you can even mix flavors and they explode with dual sugary goodness!

[11:24:45 PM] noelleqrst says: tell me that doesnt sound exciting?

[11:25:12 PM] gretchenqrst says: delicious. but nothing beats cherry and coke. how could you mess with a classic?

[11:25:27 PM] noelleqrst says: i suppose. i suppose.

[11:25:48 PM] noelleqrst says: justin has to be keeping you amused to some extent, though
[11:25:56 PM] noelleqrst says: it cant be that boring

[11:26:48 PM] gretchenqrst says: yeah, he is. and it's not. but i guess i just can't imagine what it would be like to live in new york, and i figure it must be that much better than here.

[11:27:19 PM] noelleqrst says: not necesarily. its all what you make of it

[11:27:34 PM] gretchenqrst says: any suggestions?

[11:28:29 PM] noelleqrst says: telling your sister all about the previously named male companion can be quite fun

[11:29:09 PM] gretchenqrst says: well, what do you want to know?

[11:29:23 PM] noelleqrst says: you guys have been together a while, right?

[11:29:30 PM] gretchenqrst says: yes

[11:30:42 PM] noelleqrst says: you must be really into him?

[11:30:54 PM] gretchenqrst says: very much so :)

[11:31:22 PM] noelleqrst says: just how much are you?

[11:32:16 PM] gretchenqrst says: well, really a lot. i don't like looking too far into the future... but i think i might see one... if that makes sense

[11:33:15 PM] noelleqrst says: yeah, it makes sense
[11:33:25 PM] noelleqrst says: you gotta be careful, though, gretch

[11:33:42 PM] gretchenqrst says: what do you mean?

[11:33:58 PM] noelleqrst says: you've got your own future, too.
[11:34:16 PM] gretchenqrst says: i know. but i wouldn't be much of one without him

[11:34:54 PM] noelleqrst says: well if hes gonna mess around and do nothing for a year, its cool. but eventually he has to do something, and so do you

[11:35:09 PM] gretchenqrst says: believe me, that
[11:35:16 PM] gretchenqrst says: 's what i've been telling him
[11:36:06 PM] gretchenqrst says: i don't like him not doing anything. eventually he's just gonna run out of money and won't be able to do anything

[11:37:00 PM] noelleqrst says: and that could be bad news for you, too, if you get in too deep

[11:37:54 PM] gretchenqrst says: i won't let him dig into my funds. oh, well... i suppose that's not true. at least not too much?

[11:37:57 PM] gretchenqrst says: i know i know
[11:38:00 PM] gretchenqrst says: i'm terrible

[11:38:11 PM] noelleqrst says: hes been borrowing your money?!
[11:38:14 PM] noelleqrst says: Gretch!

[11:39:01 PM] gretchenqrst says: not alot? really, only lunch here and there

[11:40:04 PM] noelleqrst says: Him spending his own money is one thing, but you cant fund his sitting around doing nothing

[11:40:33 PM] gretchenqrst says: he said he's going to get a job soon. he has been looking.

[11:40:49 PM] noelleqrst says: you said yourself you dont know how hard hes lookin
[11:40:49 PM] noelleqrst says: g

[11:41:13 PM] gretchenqrst says: but at least i know that he is. someone's bound to hire him

[11:41:48 PM] noelleqrst says: a job isnt going to just leap into his hand if hes not really making a good attempt at finding one

[11:42:13 PM] gretchenqrst says: i've considered making resumes for him and giving them out

[11:42:33 PM] noelleqrst says: great, so you provide his finances and his job search

[11:42:58 PM] gretchenqrst says: at least the job search will stop me providing his finances

[11:43:04 PM] noelleqrst says: you've already got your own schoolwork, you can't take care of him, too.

[11:43:19 PM] gretchenqrst says: someone has to

[11:43:28 PM] noelleqrst says: yeah, him

[11:43:39 PM] gretchenqrst says: but he isn't

[11:44:04 PM] noelleqrst says: well no wonder if he can just let you do all the work. he'll never get up on his own if you're holding his hand the whole way

[11:44:24 PM] noelleqrst says: his future is not your job. your future is your job.

[11:44:45 PM] gretchenqrst says: well what am i supposed to do? i can't leave him to sit on the streets!

[11:45:10 PM] noelleqrst says: he's a big boy. if the street gets too hard he'll get his sorry butt up and find his own job.

[11:45:28 PM] gretchenqrst says: but i couldn't do that to him. i love him
[11:45:45 PM] gretchenqrst says: he'll figure it out eventually

[11:46:02 PM] noelleqrst says: you're right, he will. you hafta let him
[11:46:31 PM] noelleqrst says: you're enabling him, and its not good for you either

[11:47:11 PM] gretchenqrst says: but i don't know how long it'll take. besides, i'm not doing that much for him. just helping him out a little bit. i've told him he needs to get a job, and i'll keep pressing it

[11:47:25 PM] gretchenqrst says: what more can i do?

[11:47:49 PM] noelleqrst says: not give him money, i'll tell you that

[11:48:19 PM] gretchenqrst says: okay, i'll give you that. i will stop.

[11:48:25 PM] noelleqrst says: good

[11:48:26 PM] gretchenqrst says: ....but what if he starves?

[11:48:35 PM] noelleqrst says: oh please, hes still living at home

[11:49:23 PM] noelleqrst says: and besides, if hes hungry at lunch time then maybe he'll get some motivation to get a job.

[11:49:46 PM] gretchenqrst says: fine. you win

[11:50:20 PM] noelleqrst says: as usual (flex)

[11:51:07 PM] gretchenqrst says: if there was a "sticking tounge out at" emoticon i would use it

[11:51:20 PM] noelleqrst says: :P i win again.

[11:51:57 PM] gretchenqrst says: that's a silly sticking toung out at. i want a "you stink something awful' sticking tounge out at

[11:52:10 PM] noelleqrst says: then invent it yourself

[11:52:25 PM] gretchenqrst says: maybe i will...

[11:52:25 PM] noelleqrst says: ah! somebody's calling me!

[11:52:34 PM] noelleqrst says: i gotta go, ill talk to you later, k?

[11:52:52 PM] gretchenqrst says: okay. talk to you... tommorrow?

[11:53:11 PM] noelleqrst says: i might be at adrien's...

[11:53:23 PM] gretchenqrst says: he doesn't have a computer?

[11:54:00 PM] noelleqrst says: yeah.. but... ok fine. ill see. soon, either way

[11:54:26 PM] gretchenqrst says: haha alright. sorry to cut into your....fun

[11:54:38 PM] noelleqrst says: i forgive you

[11:54:46 PM] gretchenqrst says: :D
[11:54:49 PM] gretchenqrst says: bye

[11:54:50 PM] noelleqrst says: love! bye
