Eleanor Lamb

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.

[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?

[notyourutopian]

Nah.
A sucker is someone getting tricked.
A softie is someone who just likes to do the right thing even if it's maybe not the best for them.

[windeity]

oh.
ok, well, when you put it that way then yes i guess it is the latter. i wasn't tricked into anything in this case.
so thanks for the clarification, i think.

[notyourutopian]

You are welcome. :D

Unless you wanted to be a sucker?

[windeity]

i am pretty sure that's not what i want so i will stick with being a softie.

[notyourutopian]

Good plan.
I think Dave'd definitely take advantage if you were a sucker!

[That is an awful joke and not what she meant at all and whoops.]

[windeity]

hahaha.
i doubt it. dave's probably the least likely to take advantage of anything.

[Joke. Straight over John's head.]

[notyourutopian]

I think he'd do it if it was harmless and cute.
And involved rapping.

[windeity]

that sounds about right.
but at least with dave i know exactly what to expect.

[notyourutopian]

Is that good?
I mean
Familiarity is good but not too good right?

[windeity]

familiarity at least helps with "maybe i won't totally fuck this up" so i would call it good, yes.
there are pros and cons to it? but for the most part i think it's good.

[notyourutopian]

I suppose I can see that.
It creates a new set of problems but ones you can probably deal with.
