Imaginary Conversation That Really Happened


7:28pmJoshua

Whats the itinerary?

7:31pmKaty

not sure yet. Driving north from Cali up into canada with stops along the way... and then east and down to colorado.

7:32pmJoshua

I am not sure a care full of Halls will make it across the border.

7:32pmKaty

ha ha. thanks

7:33pmJoshua

Well its not my fault that Canadians are threatened by you.

7:33pmKaty

ha ha, you know this? from experience

7:35pmJoshua

It is a pretty known fact especially around these parts being as we're so close to the border. I'm sure that as soon as you made it to Seattle CIA agents (and thats Canadian Intelligence not Central) would put a stop to you going any further north.

7:36pmKaty

wow, you are so well connected. Or maybe I just have a "whore-like" rep where everyone knows me :)

ha

7:39pmJoshua

Well it is just Canada. Nobody really wants to go there anyways. I hear Botswana is really nice and would welcome someone like you with open arms or at the very least with indifference.

7:39pmKaty

ha ha, indifference! That is more my breed.

7:42pmJoshua

Yeah. I think it was the Botswanies that came up with indifference. Before they came up with the "who gives a fuck I've got things to do" attitude everybody was over-reacting and worrying way too much about the little things and weather or not they had their fly down and if their friends would tell them if they did.


Indifference is something that can be welcomed or unwanted. It really depends on ones mood. So far, Seattle has treated me with indifference which has been alright with me. I've been busy with work, exploring this town, and trying to get this apartment in order so that when I break through the wall of indifference and make some friends they won't wonder why I still have boxes stacked to the ceiling. I've almost reached that point where everything is set up and I am finally organized enough to make new friends and acquaintances in this town and get out there into the real world. Until then lets hope I don't get too comfortable in my little zone of indifference.

    but "Indifference is not a beginning, it is an end. And, therefore, indifference is always the friend of the enemy, for it benefits the aggressor..."
