Any news on your love life?

It’s pretty non-existent. There are a few dates here and there, but nothing to really write home about.

[norarivers]

Skittles or Starbursts?

Skittles. Starburst hurt my teeth with the amount of chewing they take. Plus, skittles leave your tongue fun colors.

[norarivers]

What is your biggest accomplishment?

Probably hoisting up that mirror ball with Bobby Bones a few seasons ago after doing a freestyle set to @imcooperanderson‘s band’s rendition of The Greatest Show.

How do you deal with negativity?

I’ve actually been really blessed to not have a lot of negativity in my career. But when it does arise, you have to either ignore, or combat it head on depending on what it is.

Text 📲 Nora & Cooper

Coop: Been in work literally 24/7

Coop: Offended. Not over the fact you called me that, more over the fact you called Jabba the hutt, Java.

Coop: [typing]

Coop: Uh. You got room for a Boston terrier and a 5"9 manchild to crash in your apartment? I can pay rent.

Coop; Sorta broke up with my boyfriend, well, on a break is the official term. I just need somewhere to stay.

Nora: You know I don't watch Star Wars, so you should just be impressed I know who it is and got that close.

Nora: Now I want coffee

Nora: Yup, come on over. You're always welcome here and you know that. I'll get the snacks ready.

They say that sometimes there are certain type of birds which, once they set their focus on a particular someone, they will chase you for a long time. But what do I know, right? 

Sounds like you know a lot about birds. But that also vaguely sounds like squirrels too. I once had a squirrel completely unzip my bag for a snack. I guess animals see me for a sucker.

Wait, wait, how could that be a great start of the day? I would be freaking out and praying to God save me from this nightmare!

It was sarcasm, and there was a small freak out for sure. The pigeons ended up winning sadly, but I’ll get ‘em next time.

Just another Monday in New York honestly. I mean, it doesn’t happen to me. My local pigeons know me and know better. 

I’m in LA, but am not at all shocked to hear of the vicious pigeons there. Oh god, why did I just get a visual of you punching a pigeon Mike Tyson style? Please tell me that’s not what happened.

[norarivers]

therubysmith‌:

Wow, That is an awful start to the morning. Easily done I guess, I’m surprised I’ve not done that yet. Hope there’s not a lot of damage.

Yeah, I’m sure pigeons just exist to annoy us, I mean you never see them around unless there’s food,

I just gave up and bought a second bagel and ate it inside. I was mad at the time, but it’s not the worst thing that could happen.

That’s fair. I can’t say I find myself paying attention to birds too often, but it’s usually when they’re being obnoxious in some fashion.

[norarivers]

breezebr‌:

Someone’s a klutz, huh?

Maybe it was a carrier pigeon that just wanted a snack during it’s long work hours?

I mean, yes, but in this particular instance they stole my food while I was sitting down minding my own business.

Are carrier pigeons even a thing anymore?

[norarivers]

hidden-artie-abrams‌:

I’d go for natural assholes.   But maybe not as much as seagulls , now they win in the bird asshole league .   For once i’m greatful that it’s not something I have to worry about these days 

Names Artie by the way , I don’t think we’ve spoken before. 

Can’t say I’ve ever had a problem with seagulls. I mean, sure, they crap all over the beach but that’s to be expected. What makes you say that?

Nice to meet you Artie. I’m Nora.

Pigeons are rats with wings. They steal your food, poop everywhere and spread disease. I don’t even get why there are so many and why they attack food. Birds like them are usually not the type of animal to need to fight for food, but they do. I am not a fan as you can tell.  

I think it’s more of an over populated city thing. I know back home I never have this problem and very seldom do I see it anywhere else when I travel aside from crowded cities with lazy people who just leave their food laying around. It’s hard not to be mad at the birds, but it’s not really their fault.

[norarivers]

imcooperanderson‌:

Yes. Yes! The attack pigeons are working.

Since when do you have the time and patience to train a cubic butt ton of pigeons to specifically attack me?

Nora: First of all, why do I have to find out through instagram that you're in LA? Excuse you.

Nora: You have no excuse to not come and see me and the kids when you're not off being a storm trooper or whatever it is you're doing here.

Coop: Oops. Big oops?

Coop: In my defence I've barely been here a week.

Coop: I'm cooler than a storm trooper.

Coop: [typing]

Coop: I had something to ask, a favour?

[norarivers]

Nora: Thats still a week lost that I could’ve been tormenting you and taking you to all the good food places! Dude!

Nora: Are you though? I think you’re more of a Java the Hut type. Giant deformed booger with eyes. Obviously.

Nora: Sure, what is it?

Such a great start to the day off, I practically set my apartment on fire by knocking over a candle and then was terrorized by pigeons while trying to eat my bagel. It makes me wonder if these birds are trained attack pigeons, or if they’re just naturally assholes. Thoughts? Complaints? Let me know if I’m the only one who’s become a victim of this violent epidemic.
