First Recorded Marie Talk – 10/9/2002

Mary Poppins says:
ok..well..I don't know. . .I really like you. . .like spending some time with you..but I don't know if my feelings for you are "reciproques"
Mary Poppins says:
I'm sorry..I know that I shouldn't like give you hopes. . .it's not what I'm trying to do ..I really like talking to you and be with you. . .now I'm not sure it means. . .Does this make sense. . .or?
Mary Poppins says:
I forgot the "what" in the sentence what it means. . .
Ted says:
I like you no matter what
Mary Poppins says:
well still
Ted says:
but I mean we sit in the room for five minutes without saying anything and I can't tell whether you're bored or what
Mary Poppins says:
it's not an easy situation
Ted says:
I know
Ted says:
I think I have to start locking the door
Mary Poppins says:
I'm never bored
Mary Poppins says:
locking the door so I can't come in anymore??
Ted says:
No, so all those other pains can't walk in every five minutes
Mary Poppins says:
oh
Mary Poppins says:
I'm really sorry. . .I shouldn't have done that. . .I feel really bad now. . .
Ted says:
Done what?
Mary Poppins says:
Because there will always be this ambiguity
Mary Poppins says:
Like coming to your room and spend time with u. . .
Ted says:
yeah
Mary Poppins says:
what were u going to say?
Ted says:
I’m lost for words lol
Ted says:
that I can talk to girls that are my friends really well
Mary Poppins says:
you're the creative writer here
Ted says:
when I 'm not 'interested in them' so I can talk about anything
Mary Poppins says:
Just kidding
Mary Poppins says:
so u don't have anything to say to girls that you're attracted to or just can't find the right words
Ted says:
but the only things that come to my mind when I’m with you is kissing you
Ted says:
yeah
Ted says:
something like that
Ted says:
I’m just too afraid of rejection
Mary Poppins says:

Ted says:
yeah exactly
Mary Poppins says:
who's not afraid of rejection. . .
Mary Poppins says:
don't pay attention to what I just wrote
Ted says:
oh and I’ve never had a serious relationship with anyone when I wasn't intoxicated
Mary Poppins says:
what do u mean by intoxicated. . ..
Ted says:
so whenever I’m with you and sober, my conscience gets the better of me
Ted says:
drunk
Mary Poppins says:
and what do by serious relationship
Mary Poppins says:
you mean. . .sorry
Ted says:
making out, talking about anything, because when I’m drunk I can say anything and it doesn't matter, like that’s how I feel, or people feel in general
Mary Poppins says:
so u never really had a girlfriend like . . . u know
Ted says:
nope
Mary Poppins says:
oh
Ted says:
yeah, when I lived in Tokyo, all we did was go out on Fridays and Saturday and get drunk and hook up with Japanese girls
Mary Poppins says:
I see
Ted says:
and then the one girl who I had a fling with was like my best girl friend and she hooked up with one of my best friends
Mary Poppins says:
oh
Mary Poppins says:
nice friend
Ted says:
yeah, it wasn't his fault, she was obsessed with him
Ted says:
even when we went out for like a month
Mary Poppins says:
I was talking a bout her not him
Mary Poppins says:
she wasn't really a friend
Ted says:
yeah
Mary Poppins says:
brb. . .bathroom
Ted says:
no she's a good friend, I don’t know
Ted says:
we used to think we'd get married after college
Ted says:
we're pretty close
Mary Poppins says:
well she was obsessed with that guy. . .
Ted says:
have you ever had a good guy friend that you could tell anything and who you'd go out with on the weekends and he'd hook up with girls or whatever and yet he'd still always take care of you when you hooked up with the marines and he'd walk you home. . .well that was me
Ted says:
yeah but when she found out he didn't give a damn about her
Mary Poppins says:
yes but he's gay now
Ted says:
oh
Ted says:
I’m not talking about Alejandro
Ted says:

Mary Poppins says:
Alejandro?
Mary Poppins says:
I didn't get it
Ted says:
gay guy
Ted says:
friend of yours
Mary Poppins says:
oh
Mary Poppins says:
ok
Ted says:
don't worry about it
Mary Poppins says:
well I think you’re too nice
Mary Poppins says:
in that situation
Ted says:
so basically I really like you, every time I hear you speak I want to kiss you, but that doesn't mean stop talking, I love your voice and well there’s obviously a lot more to you then your voice but I mean I’m just rambling
Mary Poppins says:
I don't know . . . how can I judge I don't know her sorry
Ted says:
yeah just forget about it
Mary Poppins says:
I don't know what to answer
Mary Poppins says:
that's me right now
Ted says:
I don't expect an answer I just want you to know how I feel because I couldn't ever tell you face to face
Mary Poppins says:
well what's the point in telling someone u like her but not face to face. . .I don't know
Ted says:
well maybe sometime in the future when I’m not such a coward
Mary Poppins says:

Ted says:
I feel like I’m trying to convince you to marry me
Ted says:
do people do this?
Ted says:
is this usual?
Mary Poppins says:
marry you?
Ted says:
no I mean talking about all these things
Ted says:
you know what I mean you're just giving me a hard time,
Mary Poppins says:
well yes but maybe not on msn
Ted says:
yeah that’s what I meant
Ted says:
so I’m pathetic what can I say
Mary Poppins says:
no you’re not
Ted says:
I dunno its hard cause I have all these people asking me questions every single time you leave the room
Ted says:
just like when kelly was over
Mary Poppins says:
you're certainly better most of the stupid guys in your dorm
Ted says:
ted spends more than an hour with a girl and the whole world goes crazy
Mary Poppins says:
well I really thought there was something going on with her..and I thought I saw u taking her in your arms whaen u wrere in the room
Ted says:
I hugged her and kissed her on the cheek, cause she's a really good friend and she's like that to everyone and she bought me a 50 dollar birthday present
Mary Poppins says:
nice
Ted says:
I mean she knows more about me than anyone else at this school and I only met her this year
Ted says:
and same goes for you
Mary Poppins says:
I don't know much abou you
Ted says:
i've never had a girl come over and just hang out in my room for more than an hour just to be with me
Ted says:
i'm saying you know a lot more than anyone else at this school
Mary Poppins says:
come on don't say that kind of things
Mary Poppins says:
about you?
Ted says:
yeah
Mary Poppins says:
really?
Mary Poppins says:
I mean what about rishi..alejandro and the others
Ted says:
I’ve known Sweta for the last two years, she doesn't even know I have a dog and a cat
Ted says:
or that I like the Cranberries
Ted says:
I’m talking about girls
Mary Poppins says:
who is Sweta
Ted says:
the Indian girl I sat across from at D-Hall today
Mary Poppins says:
oh yeah
Mary Poppins says:
is that her name?
Ted says:
yup
Ted says:
see look at us we talk more in the last half hour than we did the three hours you were here
Ted says:
more than the combined last two days
Mary Poppins says:
I know. . .but u started the conversation
Ted says:
yeah
Ted says:
cause I want to know where we stand
Ted says:
I’m getting a better picture
Ted says:
but I guess I’ll just have to tell you face to face
Mary Poppins says:
I mean I think I could have this conversation right now but we just needed to "put it on the table"
Ted says:
yeah
Ted says:
you're absolutely right
Mary Poppins says:
I don't know what to do now. . .
Ted says:
I’m going to go hop in a shower you should go to bed and have sweet dreams, cause that’s what I’m going to do, tomorrows another day, though I think I’ll have to save this message so I can remember what I said and didn't say. . .if I didn't say anything
