I'm a twenty-two year old badass, i wish, living in Bennington, Vermont. I've lived in this town all my life, seen plenty to see, but I don't plan on leaving anytime soon. I'm not too bad at fixing a car or two with my Dad in his shop, just look for that kind of rusty sign that says Travers on it and you'll be good to go.

I’d always hoped that when I finally said ‘I love you’ to a girl, she’d say ‘I know’ back, like Leia did to Han in Return of the Jedi.

[dtjoshua]

Marty… you’re cool with anything. I bet you if this town started having riots and revolts about nothing in particular, you’d be cool with it as long as it didn’t affect you.

Oh, really? You’re talking to me about being a busy guy? Well, I’m glad you’re doing that… even if I don’t really see the point. You need to stop having so many friends, it’s one of the things I honestly don’t understand about you. Some of us have to work all the time to have a roof over their heads, you know. And new editions of psychology books they’ve bought before that don’t really have any new information on them. You know you’re always welcome at the cafe, I’ll still give you free coffee and muffins, my boss really can’t give a fuck anymore to stop me.

[marty-travers]

I don't know if I should be offended by that or not man. I just enjoy the simple things, that's all.

Hey, I work.. I work plenty. Dad likes having me around most of the time, but there's a few days where he can't stand being around me, so I'm cool with those days off. Oh, so you're gonna fatten me up now? What an awesome friend you are Josh! It's been too long buddy, I'll have to make an appearance soon.

Miles Teller in New York City - September 30

[marty-travers]

Mom's already gone crazy with decorating our house for Halloween. I can tell she was excited for October the minute she got all her gigantic totes of decorations out.

[drewsevani]

Yeah… I can see where you’re coming from. They’re carefree. I wish I could be that way again, honestly. Blue hair? I wouldn’t call that a disaster exactly, I think you’d look great with blue hair. You should color it. I do feel bad for that little girl though, she probably thought you were a monster or something.

[marty-travers]

Hey now! What's wrong with the 'do now? If I'm dying my hair blue, I think it would be acceptable for you to dye yours a nice shade of red maybe? I'm talking fire engine- It would look great with your eyes!

I can be really scary when I want to be.. I try not to let the monster be unleashed to often. But, all things aside- what's been up with you man?

[dtjoshua]

And you don’t think that’s odd?

Hey, what have you been up to, anyway? I feel like you’ve been busier than I am and that’s impossible.

[marty-travers]

Maybe a little? I'm not complaining though. Quiet is cool with me.

Hey man I'm offended! I'll have you know I'm a very busy guy. No, not really.. I'm just spending some time with people and all that. You would be added to that list if you weren't working so much!

[stokes-wyatt]

What’s your mom do?

[marty-travers]

She's a teacher man. Those kids keep her busy all week I swear.

[drewsevani]

I’m glad you could too, we could all use a good laugh sometimes. Kids are pretty cool when they’re not breaking everything they touch. See, now I’m curious… what happened with the paint exactly?

[marty-travers]

Yeah, I don't mind kids because they make you feel like you worry too much about life or something- it's kind of refreshing. Well, I came home with blue hair and I thought for a second it was gonna stay that way for good, so that's enough to freak you out. I think I scared one of the little girl's leaving school that day when I left to. I didn't mean to!

[dtjoshua]

There's been a genuine lack of drunk patrons this weekend... which kind of makes me regret taking the last shift tonight. Everyone seems to be walking around with a cloud over their head these days.

Did someone die, are we in mourning, did I miss the memo?

[marty-travers]

Nah, don't think so man. Thing's have just been a little quiet around town.

PHONE CALL: ELLA RENTHORPE

Ella: Yeah I think you were adopted.

Marty: I'll know in about thirty years if I get that big beer belly like my Dad and start losing all my hair on the top of my head. I'll make sure to let you know once I get my results.

[marty-travers]

PHONE CALL: ELLA RENTHORPE

Ella: Well if you would have took the glow sticks like I think I /told you to/, you wouldn't have had that problem (laughs) then again, even with the lights on you still have the clumsiest pair of feet I have ever known..

Marty: Well I'm sorry I wanted to use those for an actual emergency like a surprise party outside or something! Yeah, yeah.. I'd blame my genes but it seems like my parents get around just fine.

[marty-travers]

PHONE CALL: ELLA RENTHORPE

Ella: Yeah just don't.. don't worry about all of that, okay.. forget it even happened.. and I'm actually glad I called to. Its been a while, huh.. I remember when I didn't ever have to call you late hours like this, I could just walk over and tap on your window, or roll over and you were right there to go get whatever I needed out your kitchen. You were like a ninja those days.. never got caught.

Marty: Okay, sure. [laughs] Hey it was my pleasure, and you kind of always let me have a little bit of whatever you needed me to snatch, so I was down. I only almost broke my leg like once tripping over something on the way back I think?

[marty-travers]

PHONE CALL: ELLA RENTHORPE

Ella: No.. don't.. don't worry about that.. you didn't need to tell me anything, it wasn't a big deal, that's just me being.. sick of seeing him everywhere these days.. I didn't mean to yell at you about that.. okay? I'm sorry too.

Marty: I was just trying to protect you. I didn't know you had stuff going on about him- I just didn't want you to have to deal with that if you came by my work.. I-I'll stop doing that. I'll mind my own business. Thanks for calling me though, I feel better that we did this actually talking to each other.
