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.

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.

[windeity]

maybe.
i don't want to think of him as a problem, or think of us as a problem.
it will be fine.
i trust him.

[notyourutopian]

Oh I didn't mean you guys were problems just
Oh never mind
ignore me

I don't know how to do any of this do not listen to me at all

[windeity]

no it's ok! i know you didn't i just.
i am going to be freaking out about this for a while because i want this to work.
so i guess even just...talking helps.
and you are way more rational than i am so that kind of helps, too.
