Said and Done

And so here we are, standing at the crossroad with no desire to run; asking ourselves not why we're here but rather how we got here - far too young to go on yet too old to go on.

Dear Ex Lover, I hope my daughter never knows what a goodbye kiss feels like.. I hope she never knows what “I’ll see you later.” really means. I hope she never memories the dial-tone of a last conversation, because a broken heart feels like poisoned butterflies taking their last flutters in the pit of your stomach

@Jamie Dornan: In cafe. Was asked my name for the order. I said “Jamie" they said “Okay Jimmy" I said "No it’s Jamie”, they said “Oh Jerry!”, I said “Fine" +

Oh did you now? Then where’s my money? I didn’t get my payment for liking the photo. Think that you’re good looking? Hell yeah, I definitely thought that and even now, seeing you in person, I still think that…not to make you feel awkward or anything… Did you? See, I don’t even know what I would say. I keep thinking it’ll come to me when it does, but I don’t want to be one of the people that are like “I’VE BEEN WAITING TO MEET YOU AND GIVE YOU THE PERFECT QUOTE, BUT I CAN’T REMEMBER WHAT IT IS!” because that’ll just be my quote then. Yes, perfect! If you got as Mike Wazowski, I’ll go as Boo or Sully and if you’re a chicken nugget, I’ll dress as an egg. Haha it’s fine, it’s fine, don’t worry. Hi Leon Wolfe, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Madgalena Belikov, but you can call me Lena.

[streaksofjane]

Well, you must have been the 200, 001st person to like. I'm very sorry for your missed opportunity, but punctuality is a must. I would, however, definitely love to make it up in some way for coming so close to the quota. Oh, man, I wish I can get drafted by the modelling agencies and be the new face of McDonald's! I promise that if I start getting free Big Macs and chicken nuggets from the place, I'll share them with you - now that is a regal consolation price. Ah! I just actually saw one with practically the same exact quote! It's funny and endearing - very true ad natural - but such a wasted chance! Sully! Be Sully! My daughter loves him - sometimes I think she loves him more than she loves me, really. Ha! Or we can dress up as the Powerpuff Girls! I call dibs on Bubbles! It is more than nice to meet you, Lena. I must say, Human of New York really do connect people.

"Hey, I can do good just fine from where I’m sitting. Probably better off for society if I’m not out there being a menace," he joked, "See, it’s a good thing this all happened! You need to take a page out of my book and live life on the wild side a bit more, bud." There were of course truth to Leon’s words, and perhaps in some small part of his mind, Adam did want to get beat up, but he chose to dismiss the thought, instead letting out a small chuckle, "Hey, if it gets me famous on a website, I’d do it. He can definitely take my photo, bruises and all, share my story for the world. I’m quite the interesting man." Blue eyes glanced up at his friend and a quick nod of his head, knowing his concern came from a good place but wanting to dismiss the brevity of his actions, "Yeah, nah, don’t worry, man. Probably not any time soon." Adam tried to change the subject as quickly as he could, coughing once hoarsely and wincing as he shifted himself, scrolling through the photos on the Humans of New York page, "You know, it’s a wonder you got on this site. How did that even happen?" 

[streaksofjane]

"Well, for what it's worth, this wild side better not land me where you are now because - ha! Let me just bask in the moment." Leon closed his eyes and smiled to himself before taking a deep breath. "-you look like shit and I look pretty damn good. You getting beat up has done great for my self-esteem, Adam. I thank you for being a true friend. Please do it more often." A pure joke filled with sarcasm. Leon then crouched down from where he was sitting by the side of Adam's bed and reached for a paper bag; he rummaged through it. "Yes, of course, you're interesting. You're the guy who threatened to kill me for an old box that had a wooden penis inside it." He raised a brow with a knowing smile, fond of their first encounter. "Ah- Alright, so, do you want the beer or the strawberry milk?" He asked - almost out of mockery - as he showed his friend the contents of the paper bag. "Of course you're getting the beer. I am such an idiot for asking, please forgive me," he continued as he tossed the small carton of milk for Adam to catch- a challenge almost. "Remember that time at the bar when I told you I was going to buy a suit and meet up with a girl? Well, that's happened three times - the meeting up part I mean - until that one happened." referred Leon to the photo of himself as he opened the bottle of beer with the end of this lighter. It was a wonder how many ways he could open one. "She stood me up." A faint smile passed his lips and quite pain stirred within him. He extended his arm and tilted his head, "Cheers."

Well, I might have to let you down, although thank you for the compliments, I don’t do love. It’s just not for me. I’ve never had my heart terribly broken or despise men or women, no, nothing like that… love it’s complicated and messy and beautiful, but I’d rather not do it. I believe I’m emotionally broken, maybe, no ability to be in love.

Ah yes, New York is one of the best places in the world, it’s loud and fast and it seems to suit any kind of people who chose to come here. How can one not love New York.

[streaksofjane]

You don't do love..? Alright, I never thought I would have this sort of conversation until my daughter turns into a teenager and because obsessed with the internet and would rather date a software in the future and thinks that she is weird and unwanted because of her misguided affections - but love for everyone; but I do understand and respect your point. I've learned that there's a great difference between being in love and loving. 

Well, for one, I believe that the traffic is terrible and finding a cab is just more difficult as finding a cheap place to stay. But, yes - are you a local in Lanford? I mean, did you grow up here and all?

[madgalenabelikov-blog]

 And you were all fancy in a suit and everything! You got real lucky there, without a doubt. Oh ho ho, you got way more than 500! I think I actually saw this one and liked it too and thought, well damn, that guy’s good lookin’…not to make you feel awkward or anything…but yeah. Oh no, don’t even worry about it! I love the HONY guy! I want to meet the HONY guy. Haha well, I’m all for that! We can dress in ridiculous outfits and hang out at Central Park and hope he’ll hear about us and come looking.

[streaksofjane]

I actually paid those two hundred thousand people to "like" my photo just so I would not look as depressingly lost and go down on HONY history as the guy who got the least "likes". It's all very, very poetic in a sense. Wait- did you really think I was-..? Why do I feel like you're only saying that as some sort of regal consolation price for me looking like a complete idiot for captioned with such an immature line? I could have sworn I said a few more brilliant stuff there regarding chicken nuggets, but I guess it's complexity was not for the general public. I'm kidding, I'm kidding; but really, I have practiced and prepared many times with all sorts of inspirational quotes! But when Brandon got to me, I just went blank. It's all very embarrassing! Ah! I think he would love you in that! Let's do it! I can go as Mike Wazowski or as a chicken nugget! You can be a chicken nugget too if you like! Oh, man! We need to practice our lines! I'm sorry, I'm very excited about all this. I'm Leon, by the way - Leon Wolfe.

Passing With and By Stranger | W. Conroy & L. Wolfe

[julianconroy]

Hey, you’re in good company — I haven’t had the chance to play much over the last couple of years, school and work really takes up a lot of my time, sadly. [He gently tosses the ball to his feet and rolls it over to Leon.] How about the latter for now? I’ve to to practice my technique.

[streaksofjane]

Leon was more than glad that he was able to receive the ball properly. He had stopped playing football for years and was only acquainted with it through the cups and tournaments. He rolled the ball under the spikes of his shoe, glancing at how nostalgic the whole thing was before smiling to the younger man. "Alright. I'll go over there," replied Leon as he smiled and started to juggle to ball between his feet as he walked towards an adequate distance. He then turned around and patted the ball with this shoe, securing it's place, then taking two steps back. "You ready?" he mildly shouted.

[julianconroy]

Oh c’mon, you’re not that old, man. But yes. You up for a friendly game?

[streaksofjane]

Ha! That is one great compliment. Alright, then. I must warn you that I think I might have lost my touch with this game over the years now. So, where's the ball? Do you wanna play or just do clears and long passes?

[anna-cooperx-deactivated2015062]

I don’t know, I mean, people always come to New York to fall in love, but I never imagined they get there already with a lover in mind. I suppose I was wrong. Mhm, that doesn’t go very well for you, does it? Lady Liberty is very admired, even from afar, and many, many visit her every day. I hear she’s a busy lady.

[streaksofjane]

It is very, very to be involved in an unrequited love affair. It's painful yet beautiful, shallow yet meaningful; very poetic. Ah, but I'm sure you would not know anything about that. I bet a lovely lady like you would have never had any experience regarding one-sided love; I bet the guys are all lining up to have the chance to get a glimpse of you. But Lady Liberty aside, I was actually in love moved here - still am and always will be. New York is very, very peculiar place to be, isn't it?

[streaksofjane]

Hi. Because I've been away for so long, I am having quite some trouble bouncing back into the whole RP business, so I apologize in advance if my replies are crap. So, yes, since I am freshly lolwtf reacquainted with this whole business, please don't be afraid to plot with me. I am open for anything, really!!!! Thank you v. v. much!!!

Here is a link to Leon's possible connections but are not limited to these. LINK
