Pop in to your house or the restaurant?

Interesting charity work. I think I have other stuff I could list, since I’m aiming pretty high. Would having someone casually mention that they view salad as an appetizer actually help, though?

The restaurant. Try to keep up here. 

I think the problem here is you’re being too logical about the whole situation. I’m not ACTUALLY expecting you to be my mom’s new bff or to tell whatever school you’re going to that you once convinced a middle-aged italian lady to let her son eat too much pizza. Have you ever been told you have a Spock problem? Sometimes you just need to play along and go with it.

[avabennet]

Well, that’d be weird.

Salad’s an appetizer, usually preparing you for the main course. Therefore, pizza is a great follow-up. Present it in a logical way and it’s hard to refute.

[dustinderosa-blog]

It’s not like you’re showing up at my house to tell my mom how to parent. You could just pop in and casually mention while serving a salad that it’s an app, not a meal and then boom, my whole life changes. Consider it charity work you can put in a college essay or something.

Eating your weight could be a little excessive. However, usually salad is served as a precursor to pizza… so you could try that argument.

[dustinderosa-blog]

I’m gonna need you to show up and explain this logic to my mom someday. I mean, I get that it wouldn’t be smart for me to eat pizza everyday because I don’t have a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle metabolism working for me, but I do think I should be able to get away with not feeding myself at home a couple times a week.

Why is it frowned upon?! It’s pizza!

[dustinderosa-blog]

IT MAKES ZERO SENSE. How do you run an Italian restaurant and then judge me for eating too many carbs? We exist because everyone loves carbs. She’s lost her mind.

[dustinderosa-blog]

The problem with my family owning a restaurant is all I want to do is eat my weight in pizza right now but I guess that’s frowned upon and all I’m getting is a salad with, like, two croutons in it. JUST LET ME LIVE, MOM.

CHERIN TEXT!

CHER: that almost got so emo.

CHER: but I am NOT on your level. i'm sure you're trying to make yourself feel better, but don't kid yourself.

DUSTIN: because it makes you better to go beg for a better grade?

[dustinderosa-blog]

CHERIN TEXT!

CHER: I've heard actually taking notes does help

CHER: but not enough, apparently, so don't take my word for it.

DUSTIN: it all feels pointless

DUSTIN: the class, not life

DUSTIN: i have a c without trying so guess you're on my level only worse

[dustinderosa-blog]

CHERIN TEXT!

CHER: the C is bringing down my average, but Mr. Carter hates me so it's not a shock.

CHER: how would you know that though, exactly?

DUSTIN: because you write a lot

DUSTIN: and I draw squiggles

[dustinderosa-blog]

CHERIN TEXT!

CHER: is this about econ? because I'm pretty much lucky to have a C right now

CHER: granted I'm going to use my powers of persuasion tomorrow, but still!

DUSTIN: really? i thought you were smarter than that

DUSTIN: you take better notes than me

[dustinderosa-blog]

CHER: [MARKED AS READ]

DUSTIN: oh c'mon

DUSTIN: that's not even nice

Well, that was quite the comprehensive list, Dustin! Not Dusty– that’s been noted. I happen to enjoy the show Catfish as well, even though I feel rather guilty whenever I watch it. You should get another cat named Princess Bubblegum, but I’m certainly not trying to tell you how to live your life.

[dustinderosa-blog]

It’s a good show, even if it does give me secondhand embarrassment for some of these kids who aren’t smart enough to figure out they’re being played. I can’t decide what kind of cat Princess Bubblegum should be but I do want that to happen!  I’ll probably wait until I move out of the house so they won’t have to deal with anyone but me.

CHERIN TEXT!

CHER: @god: why me

DUSITN: @you: still texting back tho

[dustinderosa-blog]

CHERIN TEXT!

CHER: ew.

CHER: you have the wrong number if you think I'm someone who would ever answer to "sup"

DUSTIN: HELLO PRINCESS

DUSTIN: wow no

DUSTIN: that felt gross, sorry

[f1nnhuds-deactivated20180324]

Reality is extremely misleading as most of it ends up being scripted in the end, so I’m sure you’d be disappointed in that sort of work as well, no matter how you would look on camera, especially given you’d have a lack of control over your actions, that sort of thing would frustrate me to no end, personally.

[dustinderosa-blog]

Maybe I should just go on Wheel of Fortune and call it a day.

DUSTIN: sup girl

[f1nnhuds-deactivated20180324]

If you flub words at all you might as well kiss the audition goodbye, no director wants an actor who is unable to remember a script, or who deviates from it.

[dustinderosa-blog]

I think I’d look great on camera but I wouldn’t put in enough effort to deal with the important stuff. I could do, like, a reality show maybe but even those are probably a lot of people yelling at you to do things.

[f1nnhuds-deactivated20180324]

I’ll be honest, I’m unable to tell if you’re being sarcastic or not, but, even if you are, that isn’t a bad idea as a part of an audition, it would show great enthusiasm.

[dustinderosa-blog]

I don’t know anything about auditioning but enthusiasm must be in the top three most important things. Right up there with being attractive and not fucking up the words too much.
