caught in the storm

the opposite of bravery is not cowardice but conformity.

[brandon--oliver-blog-deactivate]

Well, like.  Me too.  They’re really good at hockey too.  Good Canadians.  I sucked.  Well. I didn’t suck but I wasn’t nearly as good as them.

[ashton-walker]

Er, I don't really play sports. At all. I'm sure you were great.

[brandon--oliver-blog-deactivate]

They’ll probably come up with something in like ten minutes though. They’re really good.  They’re always the pranksters in every hockey locker room they’re ever in.  

[ashton-walker]

Really? Wow. They're substantially cooler than me.

[brandon--oliver-blog-deactivate]

Yeah, I’m not either but Emma and Jenna are brilliant, so they can help.

[ashton-walker]

You guys'll be busy with that whole looking for your dad thing. That's more important, I think. Maybe.

[sasha--cleare]

You shouldn’t. I-I promise

[ashton-walker]

I won't...make you talk to me, but I'm here if you need me. Really.

[brandon--oliver-blog-deactivate]

Maybe we should think of something really bad then.

[ashton-walker]

I'm not good at scheming, but I can try. 

[brandon--oliver-blog-deactivate]

Me either, really, but I don’t want to give him the satisfaction of moving out, you know?

[ashton-walker]

Then maybe...I dunno-- do something to get him to want to move out.

[sasha--cleare]

Ash its not easy to explain… or talk about it.. I just feel disgusted with my self right not and i-ts not why you think. I’m disappointed with someone, I thought they changed, clearly they dint. 

[ashton-walker]

I...I'm a bit concerned now. Should I be?

[brandon--oliver-blog-deactivate]

I can take care of myself enough to defend myself at least, and if he does I’ll call the police or something.  That’ll teach him, yeah?  I don’t think I did.  

[ashton-walker]

I know, I know. But I don't like the idea of it. It's just not...it doesn't seem right to me.

[sasha--cleare]

I-I promise that I am, w-why wouldn’t I be okay? I mean i-its complicated…

[ashton-walker]

I don't know, you tell me? What's going on?

[brandon--oliver-blog-deactivate]

Yeah, I actually might. Depends how awful he turns out to be.  I miss not having to care about my roommate.

[ashton-walker]

I mean...what if he tries to hurt you again? Did you not have a roommate last time? I never saw them.

[brandon--oliver-blog-deactivate]

Yeah, maybe I’ll just complain until they switch me.  You’re kidding.  Well we got completely fucked.

[ashton-walker]

Just say you have a problem with him...it should work, right? Yeah, tell me about it. I miss Erin.

[brandon--oliver-blog-deactivate]

I mean, I don’t think they actually know about that, so.  

Who’s yours?

[ashton-walker]

But...you should be able to switch. I dunno.

Gabe.

[sofiahayes]

If I had friends who wanted to do things with me then maybe I’d go and do somethings. I dunno but it’s not so bad. I’ve always wanted you to be the social butterfly I knew you were capable of being. Maybe you should start saying more of those things that pop up into your head, yeah?

[ashton-walker]

Who said I didn't want to do things with you? It's weird. Can't you be social with me? I'd feel a lot more comfortable with that.  Everything else isn't that amusing, trust me. They're mostly just...random thoughts that no one would understand.

[sasha--cleare]

Y-yeah, fine and dandy. H-how about you?

[ashton-walker]

You don't...I dunno. You don't seem okay. Are you sure nothing's wrong?

[sofiahayes]

It’s a movie. God, ugh. Maybe actually you should keep doing what you’re doing and I should stop locking myself in my room and watching Netflix all day because I was never like this before. I used to be so fun, wow. That’s a good idea, good response. I’m impressed.

[ashton-walker]

Sitting alone watching Netflix all day just doesn't seem fun to me, Sof. Go out and do something. When did I become the social one? It was? Uh. Okay. I don't know. First thing that popped into my head.

[tara--wright]

It’s one of the best feelings in the world, better than the last episode of Friends. And not much is better than that.

[ashton-walker]

I've never actually...seen Friends. Is that bad?

[sofiahayes]

I’m not hiding. I’m just… not really leaving my room, I guess. Stuck In Love’s on Netflix now so I’ve been preoccupied. Her. The one where he dates his computer. It’d be nice though, besides the not having sex thing.

[ashton-walker]

Stuck in Love? What's that? Wait-- that movie's about him dating his computer? I should really watch television more, shouldn't I? I don't see any trailers. Uh, well, date your phone and have someone on the side? I don't know how to respond to that.
