TitePumpkin: ok
TitePumpkin: I thought u were talking about the bathroom because I always need to go the bathroom. . .lol
t b e a r inside: oh
t b e a r inside: hahah
t b e a r inside: lol that would've been a funny joke
t b e a r inside: but my mothers like that
t b e a r inside: except she takes a perscription drug for it now
t b e a r inside: "over-reacting bladder" is what they call it, but i think its just because you're so petite and everything goes through your system assez rapide
t b e a r inside: brb
t b e a r inside: so what do u do in the bathroom. . .i mean exactly, i want to know every single thing. . .in order
t b e a r inside: me i go to the bathroom: 1) brush my teeth, 2) peepee, 3) wash my hands. . .wet my face 4) dry off 5) come back to room 6) try to figure out why marie isn't back yet who left 10 minutes ago :-(
TitePumpkin: well firdst I wash my hands. . .wash my teeth then my face. . ..go to the bathroom (I mean u know) then wash my hands and ..that's it
t b e a r inside: wash your face? isn't that a process though
TitePumpkin: what do u mean?
t b e a r inside: (brush your teeth)
TitePumpkin: ?
t b e a r inside: i mean u have to use stuff
TitePumpkin: stuff?
t b e a r inside: u don't just use soap do u?

TitePumpkin: I have a toothbreush and toothpaste like all normal people
TitePumpkin: and for my face I have a specia;l soap
TitePumpkin: what did u think?
t b e a r inside: oh
t b e a r inside: i dunno
t b e a r inside: i figured u used like 10 different things to wash your face or something
t b e a r inside: some girls are obsessed with one thing and others another
t b e a r inside: like i'm not telling you u should or anything it just seems like girls in general spend a lot of time in the bathroom
t b e a r inside: compared to guys i guess
TitePumpkin: well first I have to remove makeup (only the eyes) and after I washed my face I put some cream (only 3 times a week) and a product for u know little imperfections
TitePumpkin: happy?
TitePumpkin: But the thing is it dries my face and I look red after
t b e a r inside: oh
t b e a r inside: so u have to use moisturizer?
TitePumpkin: I should but I don't
t b e a r inside: oh
TitePumpkin: coz then it's too much stuff on my face

TitePumpkin: but the next morning my skin is fine. . .I mean not dry
t b e a r inside: i mean u wash it all off though

12/5/2002 – Email to Marie

Yo, lets go work out tonight? maybe play some racketball. . .um i'm almost done with this paper. . .i'm so proud of myself. . .hehe. . ..well I'm definitely going to go work out cause i'm in the mood so =P, um. . ..i'm bored of working but i'm close to finishing. . .i have like two paragraphs to write. i'll get rishi to proof read it. . ..he's so annoying he always bitches that this school is so easy and that any idiot can get an A on an essay, mother fucker. . .the day i get an A on a english essay. . ..i'm a creative writer though and that doesn't help at this school, it demands me to write ananlytical papers analizing stuff i don't care about at all. . ..and i can't use "i" grrr! I'm used to it now. . ..but i'll never be
used to B and C papers. . . i just don't get it. . .grr..i was writing my screenplay yesterday all day, that was a lot of fun, i have like 25 pages. . .its tough writing a book/screenplay, constantly having to make everything work and go perfectly, i can't finish with the thing until its perfect and flawless, maybe i'm a big dreamer but i've heard that these days they pay upwards of a million dollars for a screenplay. I've got millions of creative ideas just waiting to be inked. . ..and i have zero analytical ideas of why friendship needs to be compared to Charlotte Temple (what i'm writing about now, though i'm doing better than
usual). . .only problem is i hate having a limited vocabulary, i need to memorize like another thousand words cause i never know what i want to say or what's the better way to say it. . .grrr i guess i'll work some more now. . .i have some interesting ideas for this final paper that might throw the teacher off his seat. . . At one time in the story the girl has sex and then the guy comes and says it was friendship. . .the story takes place during the American Revolution: late 1700s, and i'm supposed to relate that instance to the Revolution lol!
So lets see. . .the girl is england and the guy is United States so he screws england and then declares his independence with england by calling a truce. . ..so maybe that might work. . .i think the teacher would be interested in me doing that too haha. . .i like toying with teachers and making them read this kind of crap, cause it lets me use some imagination and not just stupid quotes from the book. . ..anyways i'm bored as u can see. . ..laters!

MARY POPPINS DIT
this conversation it just doesn't make me want to be friends like nothing happened...FUCK
JUST TED dit
yeah actually a lot has happened
JUST TED dit
well see i found this random girl who was really skinny and small and when i first saw her i was like ...uh...who are you to random girls knocking at my door when i'm sleeping and then i stole the marie girl's name from alejandro's im list
MARY POPPINS DIT
I've this story athousand times and I'm sick of it
JUST TED dit
and we started gabbing a bit and then this sort of friendship of sorts developed and we started spending almost all of our free time together until marie realized she actually had to do work to stay in school
JUST TED dit
and then there was this period where people thought she was my girlfriend and kept telling me that if she wasn't my official girlfriend i had to "put her back on the market" so another month or so went by until they kissed for the first time.....and then they were 'dating' but it was short lived, because marie's feelings weren't sound and then a couple weeks later Ted hooked up with her again even
JUST TED dit
though she said her roommate would get mad at her....but ted already pretty drunk himself didn't realize that she too was drunk so he drank all the stuff she said to him down like wine and then the next day was like the best day of Ted's life, where he actually thought he found something in this world worth holding onto and a week later the pair had broken up again.
JUST TED dit
and then
MARY POPPINS DIT
I don't want to hurt u anymore and because of that I won't cut this conversation but that's what I really want to do now
JUST TED dit
yeah i'm done moaning
JUST TED dit

MARY POPPINS DIT
Do u realise what u said before? Do u realise how it hurts and how it was totally useless? Do u know how u've been hurting me on purpose and how I can't act like u didn't say anything...and smile to these people or even talk to them normally

MARY POPPINS DIT
't
JUST TED dit
i don't like being a tattle tale okay...i'm just trying to say that you're going to lose someone who has stronger feeling for you than anyone you'll ever meet...and maybe thats ambitious..but i'm ambitious
JUST TED dit
i didn't say it to hurt you i never expected it to hurt you....but i guess it backfired
JUST TED dit
hard
JUST TED dit
i just wanted you to know that i felt strongly about you
MARY POPPINS DIT
Well I don't want to be like complaining and playing the victim but u can ask rosa what u said did to me!
MARY POPPINS DIT
But I already know it
JUST TED dit

JUST TED dit

Boys Don't Cry by Cure

I would say I'm sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this summer
I've said too much
Been too unkind
I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
I would break down at your feet
And beg forgiveness
Plead with you
But I know that
It's too late
And now there's nothing I can do
So I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
Cause boys don't cry
Boys don`t cry
I would tell you
That I loved you
If I thought that you would stay
But I know that it's no use
That you've already
Gone away
Misjudged your limits
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more
Now I would do most anything
To get you back by my side
But I just
Keep on laughing
Hiding the tears in my eyes
Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

12/5/2002 – I Can’t Get Mad at You

i was writing you a big hate mail before, but i'm not like that, i'm not like you, i don't want to be mean to people just because i'm in a bad mood, i don't want to be nice to certain people and mean to others, and i really want to be mean as you can see it's hard not to...i don't know what to say but i don't want to see you, cause theres not point if your not going to be nice.you make me cry a lot...i don't know why you have to be mean all the time.

12/6/2002 - Loin Des Yeux Loin du Coeur

Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let's do some living after we die

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day
Rolling Stones, Wild Horses, (Performed Live by the Indigo Girls)

12/6/2002 – Long Crying Email

that cry thing was like "here's looking at you kid" from Casablanca (film), and its true I was on the verge of crying outside I guess, but I wanted you to know that I could I had the guts to actually tell u how I felt, because its so cheesy saying all those things on instant message, I wanted you to know it was real. . .and its still real for me. . .I’ll see how long I can go over Christmas without thinking about you, cause right now I can't imagine very long, cause working late in the store, there's a lot of free time, I wrote a song yesterday kinda poem it had a good tune I think, some of the words are lame I guess like I didn't like that first one I sent u it was pretty cheesy, I don't usually write such cheese ball lovy dovy nonsense in poems and Alejandro's old roommate ed used to tell me how he got depressed and would write these cheesy poems and I never thought I’d be like that, but now that I’m thinking of it. . .lol. . ..all these songs I listen to they're all depressing but they keep me going I guess. . .if these people felt the same way and didn't give up on life and wrote a song about it you know then I guess I can try. I don't know how I’m going to work now. . .I couldn't sleep last night. . .I mean I slept for like 5 hours and then from 8 until 11 I got up a bunch of times to see if you had written anything or if you were up and feeling the same way. . .I was hoping I guess. . ..I’m always hoping for something. I wish I could just write without all these damn ". . ." things lol, but I’m writing and then I just stop and think about what I’m saying and think about what’s happened. . .and how I’ve actually can't wait to get to California and go to church, I need some direction in life now. . .I mean I don't know what I expected you to say, but I never expected us to date for under a month, let alone a couple weeks and yesterday. . .it almost seemed like we had been dating and we didn't even know it. . .maybe its my fault I make it seem that way. . .and I really do feel those things I said and wrote. . .I just hope its not like with Karim where four months went by and you realize you loved him or something. . .I’d love for it to happen but we're only going to be in school for another four months, I guess you're right, you're too young or something, I don't know what that meant am I too old but I really do keep digging myself deeper every time, but when I’m with you even when I was outside today, I see you smile. . .I see you standing somewhere. . .I’m sorry I’m only hurting myself here I guess huh. . .I guess life's not all far from the madding crowd. . .but he's right you don't know how much damage u do. . .and I want to clarify some things from some things I’ve said in the past: I said I fell in love with you and all these things I never seen before in a girl, well I always thought I wanted some hot girl who was just a slut with big tits blond hair, like some porn start I guess (Jeter hall kids watch way too much porn. . .but Ted hasn't watched much since he met you :-P anyways I know u think its gross and it is). . .but what I’m trying to say is I met you and you don't have big tits, your small, your not a slut, you're not hot (to me if you're hot then you're a slut), your cute and petite and have the most timid smile and a fine ass (I mean a really fine ass, which I only noticed recently) wicked nice hair. . .I don't know how any guy can be your friend and not want more, but maybe they just accept that you're way out of their league. . .selective memory she says remember the good times forget the bad ones, but its all bad now, you wanted to know what I was feeling, I was feeling how standing out there with you was the hardest thing I ever did I told myself I’d do it last night while I was trying to sleep . . .I thought it over million times all the things to say. . .and when I was out with you in New York and Connecticut I kept my hands to myself and all I ever thought about was us together. I don't know what happened, I used to think that I controlled my life. . .but now I have no control over it. . .I thought I was done with this crying business, I wish you hadn't signed off, I wish you'd just call when you want to say hi or ask something. . .I told myself I’d tell you that when you're ready to make a commitment to come and find me, I’m sorry but I keep asking why, I just don't understand your feelings, cause I know they were stronger than a friend, I had you in my room, sober a number of times. . ..fuck I’m sorry. . .I can't make you do anything. . .I want to I really want to just manhandle you like some guy kissing a women who's insistent that she doesn't like the guy in some old black and white film and then in that moment realizes her true feelings, but I'm not an ape, I'm a man, and I need to do some work, cause exams don't get any farther only closer and closer. I love you to death and I guess u knowing that makes it hard for you to be around me and I understand and maybe I’ll forget all about you someday, but I hope its not so, and I don't think you hope that. . .at least I hope not. . .I don't even remember half the things I said in this email. . .but get online so I can send u another song. I keep repeating myself. . .but that thing I said in the conversation last night about money, marriage, and life that’s what I was talking about when I felt I didn't get a reaction, but your feelings aren't strong, I know, but it just doesn't mean anything to me I guess. . .just as my feelings don't mean enough to u, I really should go. . ..but I really will always be waiting for you. . .ha. . .I think. . .but always is along time. . .call me later I guess. . .don't worry I won't talk about this stuff later cause I’ve already forgotten most of it, but I’ll save it and read it again sometime when I’m missing you. . .and joke about how pathetic I was.
