Hello you've reached Eleanor Lamb's voicemail. I'd explain what's next but I can't imagine you don't know what to do at the beep.

[windeity]

i kissed him.
and now I have a boyfriend.
better?

[notyourutopian]

Yes
Thank you

Also

I didn't realize either of you were gay.
But still
Congratulations!
Haha

[windeity]

he’s bi. i’m not into guys besides dave so i am not sure what that means.
but thanks. it is a lot easier now at least.
but yeah i definitely burned things to the ground on accident but i think he forgave me enough.

[notyourutopian]

Davesexual?

Good lord.
What did you DO?

[windeity]

yes.
uh. i kissed him and then i told him i had to think about it and ignored it for a while.
and then i did this whole big thing to ask him out and here we are three days later.

[notyourutopian]

Wait so
You wrote him a song
Kissed him
then told him you had to think about it?

That's so many mixed signals you could've made signal cookies.

[windeity]

i know! i know, I know. it was bad and it was dumb and i feel like a douche. the song wasn’t originally romantic btw it just sounded like what i thought of when i looked at him.
which should have been a clue.
i know i made things confusing.
but things are very clear now.

[notyourutopian]

Well that's what's important.
Still.
You and Dave.

Huh.

[windeity]

...is it really that weird?

[notyourutopian]

Nah.
Just processing it, I suppose.

[windeity]

trust me. i am too.
i know this is probably contradictory but can you please not say anything either? not even to yukiko yet.
i like him a lot but we agreed to kind of take things a little slow at first.

[notyourutopian]

Sure.
I can do that.
Uh
But just for the record if she sees you two together she'll probably figure it out.
Yukiko is really weirdly observant about stuff

[windeity]

honestly i am sort of assuming that and that is fine? i do not really mind if people see us and figure it out. but both of us aren’t going to go around telling everyone we know without reason.
so far you know and like two other people know.
yukiko can be four probably.

[notyourutopian]

Who else?
Sorry nosey.

[windeity]

i told a friend of mine (natalie) and dave was talking to someone else i think. that is what he implied.
and i am assuming he told rose already.

[notyourutopian]

Probably yeah.
Well.
I won't spread it around until it's common knowledge.

So
This is good right?

[windeity]

thanks.
i think so. i mean i feel like it is, despite being completely nervous and off my game since i haven't dated anyone in months.
but other than that everything's great!

[notyourutopian]

Months isn't so bad
I've barely dated anyone and none lasted more than a few weeks.

[windeity]

vic and i dated for around two years.
so you can kinda see why i am nervous about it.
but it'll be fine.
i like him. that much i know.
and also i am surprised you haven't dated.

[notyourutopian]

Who's Vic?

Well
I guess I was just always really busy and
Admittedly somewhat oblivious to stuff like that.
Plus I've been told I can be pretty intense which is apparently a turn off for teenage boys.

[windeity]

my ex-girlfriend. we broke up in may.
for what it's worth i was pretty oblivious, too, and vic was aggressive and intense as fuck and that worked out.
so i guess it is just about finding the right person?
who knows. we have time.
and in the end at least you have yukiko.

[notyourutopian]

I am not that.
Aggressive, I mean.
Except when I'm fighting, I can get kind of

Well
Anyway

Hah. I'm not sure best friend is meant to be a replacement for that stuff.

[windeity]

i know you're not but what i am saying is that if someone who broke my car door by kicking it can date somebody long-term, you can, too.
either that or i am a sucker.
one of those.

ANYWAY.
maybe it's not a replacement but sometimes i think having a best friend is better than having a girlfriend or whatever. and now my best friend and my boyfriend are the same person so it works.
besides, what's the difference even besides like physical stuff?

[notyourutopian]

That sounds exciting, at least?
Haha
But yeah I see your point.
Never really worried too much about the...
Physical stuff.

ANYWAY YES

And you are not a sucker.
Maybe just a softie.

[windeity]

sort of. it's a long story.
i'm not going to go into that part of it but i mean...like yeah, that stuff is fun obviously but it was never my favorite part about dating.
vic and i had different priorities sometimes.

aren't those just two different words for the same thing eleanor?
