Move Along

Ty Hutchins | 17 | Junior My name's Ty, and there's not much for me to say. I thought I had the perfect dream in the bag, the perfect girlfriend, a great high school life, but all of that's changed now. Get well soon, Corinne ♥

I think either the Reese’s peanut butter cups or the M&Ms. There wasn’t that great of a selection which sucked but expected.

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

Peanut, peanut butter, pretzel or plain? Say that five times fast.

[chloelws]

I think the best thing about this time of year is all of the discounted Halloween candy.

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

So, what was the best bag in your haul? 

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

This November weather is great.

Oh wow, you could make a really nice psychiatrist, really. I can see it now “cutting is bad, you can use the blade to motivate you to craft wonderful things, not harm your skin, yada yada yada”. You’re a bit on the sunny side, huh?

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

Yeah, I guess. I just want to live my life to its fullest, and I feel better working out than I do sitting around. There's nothing wrong with your choices either, I'm just doing what works for me.

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

This November weather is great.

[jillian-dawson-deactivated20200]

Oh…

That’s, uh, admirable. 

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

Uh, thanks. Just uh, there's been a lot of extra gym time to help with the stress in the meantime.

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

This November weather is great.

[jillian-dawson-deactivated20200]

Yeah, I did.

Did you damage things in the accident or you mean, uh, without Corinne?

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

N-No, uh, everything's in full working order. It's um...well, my hand's just barely back at free range of motion, so there's that, but no, it's mostly, um... I mean...I love her, and she's the only one I want to think about when I... But she doesn't reciprocate it anymore, so I just feel weird trying to...when i know she isn't...

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

This November weather is great.

[jillian-dawson-deactivated20200]

You went to the gutter all on your own, Buddy. You need to…take care of that.

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

Did you just suggest that I...? I um, I can't, actually? Haven't since...Well, never mind, you don't need the details.

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

This November weather is great.

[jillian-dawson-deactivated20200]

No, don’t worry. I will spare you the intimate details.

It’s so relaxing. The amount of concentration and focus is unparalelled for me. Everything kind of falls away and all you can focus on is your breathing, the sweating, and the poses.

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

Okay, I'm sorry, but I just can't get my head out of the gutter now. Even your talk about yoga is taking me to an inappropriate place. 

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

This November weather is great.

[jillian-dawson-deactivated20200]

TYLER! I meant that we’d play around! Oh my gosh.

I mean, that too, maybe but there’d be an epic splash war and grabbing of legs and no actual training would happen. I think that is yoga for me, actually.

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

And now we're definitely into too much information. If your next sentence is about how you take your schoolyard, or should I say swimming pool, games to the bedroom, I'm putting on some noise cancelling headphones and pretending we never met.

What is it that you like so much about yoga?

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

This November weather is great.

[jillian-dawson-deactivated20200]

I’m scared, Ty. Shaking. No, no, no…I said I would wait a second. I wouldn’t let them drown. I couldn’t do that. Yeah? You think? I wonder if they wear pink of Wednesdays.

Strengthening my strokes and stuff. I’m not training to compete. I used to go a lot but when Park and I fell out I stopped. I actually kinda regret not getting on the school team. My free isn’t that bad. My butterfly is a mess, though. Park and I would get no swim training done. At all.

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

Okay, okay, I guess you aren't one of Peter Pan's mermaids after all. Or one of the Plastics.

More than I need to know about you and him together, but I'm glad you got back to training. Everyone should have a thing they love to do no matter what happens to their relationships with other people. For me, that's baseball. For you, well, I don't know what it is, but I guess I'm implying that I hope it's swimming.

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

This November weather is great.

[jillian-dawson-deactivated20200]

Oh my gosh, you booped my nose. Thanks, Grampa.

There’s a few, yeah, but they’re kinda cliquey. His friend Gio’s girlfriend is nice, though. We’re not, like, organizing bake sales or getting mani-pedi’s together or anything. There’s quite a few that I would wait a second before helping if they fell in the deep end if you know what I mean. Plus, sometimes when I am at the pool, it’s for me even though Parker is practicing too. I started taking lessons in the B pool again. It’s a lot of fun.

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

Hey, don't make fun of me, I just gave you credit for a good joke! Don't make me regret it! Wow, Jill, did you just elude to being slightly underhanded and scheming yourself, letting girls drown? You might fit in with the girlfriends more than you think.

What are you working on in your lessons? Too bad Parker doesn't have time to teach you, or you could be an Olympian by his side.

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

This November weather is great.

[jillian-dawson-deactivated20200]

That’s why I do aerial and yoga, for the stress relief. You can corner the running market, okay? You run for fun and I will run for the ice cream truck and really good sales.

At least you get it. A lot of people give me funny looks when they find out that I try to go to as many of Parker’s things as I can. I think they think I am obsessive. Oddly enough, the pool is a pretty nice place to study. Tar Heels are…nevermind. I know who they are. I feel dumb.

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

That was a good one. One point Jill, zero points Tyler.

Haven't you made friends by now with the other girlfriends? I mean, I'm sure you're not the only one who comes out to support their boyfriend. I know Auden goes to Reese's games too, and there's a couple girls who always used to sit with Rinn at my games.

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

This November weather is great.

[jillian-dawson-deactivated20200]

And yet I wind up with far less skinned knees and rolled ankles. I takes coordination but it also takes a lot of strength. That’s come along fairly well. I could totally do the ropes in gym.

I only watch your games when I get a chance, really. If it’s MLB then it’s just background noise. Do we even have a team here? I want to say no…

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

What's that thing they tell most male kids growing up? "It's not that bad, just rub some dirt on it?" I feel like maybe that's what you needed to be told after a few skinned knees so you didn't give up on running. It's good for you, and it's so stress relieving.

It's okay, I forgive you, we can't all be sports fanatics, and I'm sure you've got a busy schedule trying to make it out for all of Parker's time trials and meets. Major league? Nope, our Tar Heels are pretty good though, and most of them get drafted into the minors.

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

This November weather is great.

[jillian-dawson-deactivated20200]

I don’t know who you’re referring to but right on? Whoever it is, you definitely are not a fan. Running never works out well for me. You should know this, Ty.

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

I was just making a generalization, honestly, but no, I am not a fan. It's the reason I always support the National League in the Series. The Cardinals, or the Pirates, or well, honestly anyone but the Sox and the Yankees.

And yet, somehow you manage to do that aerial acrobatic stuff with Mia. That requires a whole lot more coordination than running a few miles, Jill.

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

This November weather is great.

[wes-crawford-deactivated2013112]

Why three miles when you can stay indoors and listen to three days grace?

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

Why stay inside and listen when you can put it on your iPod and use the music to motivate you?

[parkerkeyes]

This has been a long day..

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

Everything alright?

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

This November weather is great.

[jillian-dawson-deactivated20200]

Ew, running.

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

Can't exactly be a baseball player without running, unless you're a pitcher in the American League, which is a sad excuse for a professional ballplayer, if you ask me, no matter how many no-hitters you can throw.

[hadleygosh-deactivated20131126]

Of course, my teacher would be the one to give out a project and expect it due the next day.

[nice-guy-ty-blog]

What's the project? Is it something you can do in a day or do you need help?
