<BelleReve> the sheets are clean, and the walls don't have holes (just some ugly wallpaper!)
<punkymonkey> always a bonus
<punkymonkey> does the bed have a slot for quarters?
* BelleReve looks
<BelleReve> I...I don't see one
<punkymonkey> hmm less seedy then I thought it would be then
<BelleReve> well

<BelleReve> which I'm glad for
<BelleReve> that's the last big thing I own
<punkymonkey> thank you howard johnson
<BelleReve> well, that and my laptop =)
<Midnight> Well, if the doors are on the outside, it feels more like a house, right? Smile

<Midnight> picky Razz

<punkymonkey> any word from josh
<BelleReve> no =(
<BelleReve> he seemed very...cold...that time I talked to him
<BelleReve> maybe he was just in a hurry
<Midnight> He had a lot on his mind, I'm sure
<punkymonkey> he's in a difficult place
<BelleReve> I'm worried
<BelleReve> he didn't sound like
<BelleReve> didnt sound like he was trying to come home

<BelleReve> both?
<punkymonkey> yeah
<BelleReve> did something happen?
<punkymonkey> he left the society
<BelleReve> did those cultists do something to him?
* BelleReve sighs
<BelleReve> thank the Lord!
<punkymonkey> he's stopping the meds though
<BelleReve> I was so scared they were gong to hur him
<BelleReve> meds?
<punkymonkey> so some even more nafarious characters will be after him shortly
<BelleReve> is he sick?
<Midnight> I'm sorry I'm being a bit absent, Belle. Got people over. I'm very happy to see you tho! Keeping an eye on the conversation
<BelleReve> oh, have fun
<Midnight> As for Josh... I havent talked to him in ages. But I don't think he's sick
<Midnight> I think it's just stress. It's a crappy situation
<BelleReve> I hope he's not
<BelleReve> maybe I'll write to him see if hes oka
<punkymonkey> where whould you mail it?
<BelleReve> to his email account
<punkymonkey> he's kinda transient right now
<BelleReve> oh
<BelleReve> wow, he really is like me
<punkymonkey> ah when I hear write letter I think pen and paper
<Midnight> yes, I guess your situations are alike indeed
<BelleReve> i know what you mean punky -- when I say I'm talking to my friends, I mean i'm on the computer typing at them =)
<BelleReve> I feel bad for Josh, being so alone
<punkymonkey> heh me too
<punkymonkey> uh on both points
<BelleReve> if he doesnt have a laptop then how can he talk to his friends?
<BelleReve> =(
<BelleReve> id give him my laptop
<BelleReve> if i knew where he was
<Midnight> Knowing Josh he'll find a way to get to a computer
<BelleReve> I want to tell him what I found
<BelleReve> maybe he would be proud of me
<Midnight> What did you find?
<BelleReve> about themoving company
<BelleReve> i'm going to follow up on that lead tomorrow
<BelleReve> I know where their garage is -- maybe I can sneak in, or talk my way in
* chippy has quit IRC (Quit: nisha on the bonnet of an audi!)
<Midnight> right, be careful tho
<punkymonkey> use those feminine whiles
<BelleReve> heh, not like its ever worked forme before
<punkymonkey> well you'll be glad to know josh isn't alone
<BelleReve> he isn't? that's good!
<BelleReve> he has a friend?
<punkymonkey> jessica is with him
<punkymonkey> kind of an evil friend
<BelleReve> oh, umm...

<punkymonkey> I think he has a plan though
<BelleReve> ooh....thaaaats umm nice
<BelleReve> no, that's nice
<BelleReve> i'm happy for him. I realy am
<punkymonkey> no they're not romantic
<BelleReve> i mean, i didnt expecthim to , you know
<punkymonkey> sorry I didn't make that clear
<BelleReve> i'm sure he doesnt evenremember me
<BelleReve> maybe its better that way
<punkymonkey> she's from the society
<BelleReve> so, he said they're "just friends?"
<BelleReve> he's so sweet but sometimes hes naive
<punkymonkey> more like she can fuck with the people that are after him
<BelleReve> i'm sure she'll take gooooood care of him
<Midnight> If he says they're just friends, I believe him. And he would be the one to know...
<BelleReve> yeah. I know how josh treats his friends
<BelleReve> i
<BelleReve> i hope shes as happy for him when he makes a new friend
<punkymonkey> we'll see how it all pans out
<punkymonkey> from what I can see he's using her as a weapon against sic
<Midnight> You're jumping to conclusions. This is very different from the situation back then.
<punkymonkey> true
<Midnight> So please calm down. Don't assume the "worst" immediately.
<BelleReve> i dont know what i was thinking
<BelleReve> no, you're right
<BelleReve> i'm just...i dont know
<BelleReve> guys have a habit of finding other friends on me
<BelleReve> maybe I'm just too nice
<Midnight> Well, I think he really cares about you.
<Midnight> And maybe I'm just naive, but I believe him.
<BelleReve> no...no
<BelleReve> I just don't trust easily
<Midnight> And if he's lying about this, I'll personally kick his virtual butt Wink

<BelleReve> i trusted josh, and now I'm just scared
<BelleReve> heh, you can have what's left, when I'm done with him!
<punkymonkey> I know he cares for you
<Midnight> Don't be scared. He cares about you. And so do we.
<Midnight> You've got friends here
<punkymonkey> if you ever feel like moving up to washington we have an extra room
<punkymonkey> well I'm being beckond to dinner so bbiab
<BelleReve> aww, thanks! and thanks for the offer, punky, but that's pretty far from here
<punkymonkey> any time
* punkymonkey is now known as punkymonkey|dinner
<Midnight> I'd offer you to stay in my attic, but I think the Netherlands are even further for you Wink

<BelleReve> Midnight: i know. that's why i boughtthis laptop
<BelleReve> netherlands? is that in canada?
<Midnight> My guests are gone by the way, so I'm more here Smile

<punkymonkey|dinner> haha
<punkymonkey|dinner> Europe
<punkymonkey|dinner> sorry didn't mean to sound like I'm mocking you
<BelleReve> oh yeah, duh! sorry
* punkymonkey|dinner hugs bellereve
* BelleReve hugs PunkyMonkeyDinner
<Midnight> yes, it's close to France and Belgium Smile

<BelleReve> oooh, i've always wanted to go to france
<BelleReve> maybe somedway when this is all over
<Midnight> It's a beautiful country. Well, the parts that I've seen
<Midnight> And they've got a disney-land!
<BelleReve> oh no!
<BelleReve> =p
<BelleReve> if i went to paris i would want to see the eiffel tower not mickey mouse!
<punkymonkey|dinner> or throw mickey mouse off the tower
<punkymonkey|dinner> yay
<BelleReve> you might hurt some poor pedestrain!
<Midnight> pfff... you people have no respect for culture Razz

<BelleReve> mickey mouse is culture?
<BelleReve> it was culture when I was 6 not when I'm 26!
<Midnight> to some people... or maybe in the far future it will be
<Midnight> Like they'll dig up some relics frozen in ice... and they're mickey mouse ears... and future people will think that we used to worship mickey mouse
<Midnight> Then again, maybe I just need to get some sleep Wink

<BelleReve> hehe
<BelleReve> it'll be like that movie
<BelleReve> where in the future everything we know is an antique
<BelleReve> sleep?
<Midnight> Yes, time difference, remember? Smile

<BelleReve> oh thats right...im sorry i keep forgetting its late there whre you are
<Midnight> You didn't think I could come up with crazy ideas like this at normal hours, did you?
<Midnight> I don't mind. I didn't pick my nickname for no reason Smile

<BelleReve> this weekend it gets even later!
<BelleReve> hehe, I like your nickname =)
<Midnight> this weekend? how come?
<Midnight> ah, right... summertime!
<BelleReve> daylight savings is this sunday
<Midnight> we already switched
<Midnight> No idea what that does to the time difference tho.
<BelleReve> c'mon, i out of touch and even I know that :p
<BelleReve> well we go from 1am->2am
<Midnight> yeah, we already moved forward an hour last week
<Midnight> so the difference will be back to normal then
<BelleReve> eek so its even later for you now
<Midnight> It's 4:30
<Midnight> Be warned, the later it gets, the less sense I start making Razz

<BelleReve> dont worry
<BelleReve> the later it gets here, the less I notice =p
<Midnight> That works out nicely then Smile

<BelleReve> as long as you don't mind me not noticing
<Midnight> What's the name of that moving company, by the way?
<Midnight> ah, it probably doesn't matter. I'm just wondering how they moved all those vagrants without anyone noticing Wink

<BelleReve> oh, sorry. Ran to the vending machine. Gotta have my diet pepsi!
<Midnight> diet? But that doesn't have caffeine! How do you stay awake? Razz

<BelleReve> Fraxinus And Sons Movers
<BelleReve> Diet Pepsi has caffeine!
<BelleReve> I love my diet pepsi
* punkymonkey|dinner is now known as punkymonkey
<Midnight> ah, it's just sugar-free then
<Midnight> I usually go for the full, unhealthy variety Wink

<BelleReve> Sugar free, Caffeine Loaded
<punkymonkey> ok I'm back
<BelleReve> welcome back!
<punkymonkey> glad you're still on I thought I'd miss you
<Midnight> Did they mention anything else about the "beach party?" when you spoke to them?
<Midnight> Welcome back, punky Smile

<BelleReve> they just said they were hired to pick up "stuff"
<BelleReve> i'm going to hang out by the garage tomorrow
<BelleReve> I'm hoping to get some info, like where they took it after they picked it up hehe
<Midnight> and what exactly they picked up
<Midnight> Better think of a good excuse of why you want to know tho Wink

<BelleReve> I was thinking of just acting "blonde"
<punkymonkey> hehe
<BelleReve> I was kind of flirty with one of the movers
<BelleReve> I'm going to pretend I'm going to see him
<punkymonkey> or you could go the opposite and be goth
<BelleReve> goth?
<punkymonkey> loom about
<Midnight> You're turning into a real spy Wink

<BelleReve> is that those kids that hang out in the graveyard and wear all black?
<punkymonkey> people tend to leave them alone
<BelleReve> hmm people tend to leave me alone
<Midnight> do those kids have ten layers of eyeliner under their eyes and wear crosses and the like?
<punkymonkey> yeah
<BelleReve> I don't know if I would fit in with them
<Midnight> I think the "dumb blonde" approach will probably be more effective for those movers Wink

<BelleReve> if its still up, my pic is here: http://home.earthlink.net/~appleharborweb/images/alyssa.jpg
* taozero has left #dreams
<BelleReve> that was a while ago though
<Midnight> Yes, I've seen it before. People probably leave you alone because they're intimidated by your good looks Smile

<BelleReve> last year
<BelleReve> aww, you're just saying that
<Midnight> it's the only reason I can think of
<BelleReve> I just got lucky, it was a good picture
<punkymonkey> I don't think you can take a bad picture
<Midnight> I also wonder why those movers said it was a "corporate" beach party
<BelleReve> you can't if you don't have a camera =p
<Midnight> Vagrants are all but corporate
<Midnight> how can you take a bad picture if you dont have a camera? Razz

<BelleReve> I thought that was odd too!
<BelleReve> especially if there's an old man hanging from a tree!
<Midnight> some party...
<Midnight> If you can, better ask them about that too.
<BelleReve> I'm hoping I'll know tomorrow
<BelleReve> if I can find where they went, maybe we can track down who these mystery vagrants were
<Midnight> the moving company should have some information on them at least
<BelleReve> if they'll give it to me
<BelleReve> they could just toss me out on my butt
<BelleReve> I've got to admit...i'm nervous
<punkymonkey> take a stungun with you
<Midnight> just pretend that one of the vagrants looked like your long lost brother's sister's nephew in law and you'd like to find them to make sure Wink

<Midnight> and give them the puppy dog look. That always works for me Wink

<BelleReve> brothers...sisters...nephews?
<BelleReve> you mean, MY kid?
<punkymonkey> say your a norse mythology major and are doing your thesis on norse cultists
<Midnight> err... I was just making up a random relative
<BelleReve> my brother's sister (if I had a brother)
<Midnight> Don't ask me to figure it out Wink

<BelleReve> I don't look *that* old....do I?
<Midnight> Don't you actually have a lost nephew?
* BelleReve pouts
<BelleReve> a cousin
<BelleReve> my mom had a sister, but they weren't close
<BelleReve> I remember, when I was really really really young, I went to their baptism
<BelleReve> that far back, you just remember pieces of pieces
<Midnight> well, there you go. If you give them that story, you won't even have to lie
<Midnight> Or you can go with the thesis idea of Punky. Plenty of excuses for being nosy Smile

<BelleReve> gee...this is more complicated than I thought
<punkymonkey> ooh say you're a reporter
<BelleReve> I don't know if I'm nosey enough for that
<punkymonkey> roo comic yay http://www.cyantian.net/sinkswim/
<Midnight> Pretending to be a reporter might be pushng it somewhat Wink

<punkymonkey> ooh sorry wrong chat window
* punkymonkey blushes
<BelleReve> eew, what is that
<BelleReve> a cartoon?
<Midnight> err...
<BelleReve> =p
<punkymonkey> makes more sense if you go back further
<punkymonkey> sorry
<punkymonkey> like I said wrong chat window
<BelleReve> no, its okay
<BelleReve> to each their own
<punkymonkey> ^_^
* BelleReve still watches Sesame Street in the morning
<Midnight> Don't worry about it Punky. I'm over the initial confusion/shock Wink

<Midnight> And you're the one telling me Disney isn't culture Razz

<BelleReve> hey! Kermit the frog is culture!
<BelleReve> and Big Bird!
<BelleReve> didn't you ever see the movie? where he's hitchhiking across the country?
<Midnight> I think I missed it
<BelleReve> follow that bird!
<BelleReve> awww
<BelleReve> hey, what's this light on the laptop mean?
<Midnight> Think your power is low
<Midnight> you need to recharge it
<BelleReve> i don't know
<BelleReve> it's red
<Midnight> Yeah, that would be the power
<BelleReve> it's
* BelleReve has quit IRC (Quit: )
<Midnight> yeah...
* BelleReve has joined #dreams
<BelleReve> that...sucked!
<BelleReve> sorry about that
<Midnight> dont worry. It sometimes happens to me still when I'm working on my laptop
<Midnight> It was the power?
<BelleReve> yeah, I plugged it in, and it came back on
<BelleReve> but that light is still red
<BelleReve> wow
<BelleReve> the day just hit me =(
* BelleReve feels like a wimp compared to Midnight
<BelleReve> I wish I had your kind of energy
[BelleReve:#dreams PING]
<Midnight> At the moment I have the energy to sit on top of my chair
<Midnight> and that's kinda it Wink

<Midnight> I'm going to sleep soon
<BelleReve> like I said...I wish I had your kind of energy Wink

<Midnight> lol, that bad huh? Wink

<BelleReve> we'll both get some rest, and we'll be well rested for tomorrow
<BelleReve> =)
<BelleReve> me you and the laptop gotta recharge
<Midnight> I've been really bad at it this week. The day that you came to chat, I'd gone to sleep at 21.00
<BelleReve> did you move out of your house that day?
<Midnight> Have been a bit too busy I guess. Hardly had time to be here and see my friends. Wink

<Midnight> to go to work... nothing permanent Wink

<BelleReve> work...
* BelleReve sighs
<Midnight> You're not missing anything there
<BelleReve> except the paycheck =p
<Midnight> That was going to be my next line Wink

<BelleReve> ooh, I gotta file for unemployment next week
<BelleReve> thanks for reminding me
<BelleReve> good night everyone!
* BelleReve hugs Midnight
<Midnight> Good night Belle. I'm off too. My apologies for any rambling/half-wacked plans on my part Wink

<BelleReve> good to see you again...I was so heartbroken when I thought about leaving
* Midnight hugs Belle
<BelleReve> and goodnight Punky!
<punkymonkey> goodnight
<BelleReve> they're still better than my quarter-wacked plans
<BelleReve> we'll see
<Midnight> so together we've got 3 quarters of a plan! We'll get there yet!
<BelleReve> hopefully i'll have some better news for you tomorrow
<BelleReve> luck...we need luck!
<BelleReve> bubbye!
<punkymonkey> bibi
<Midnight> Sleep well
<Midnight> I know I will
<BelleReve> you too
<punkymonkey> may the force be with you
* BelleReve has quit IRC (Quit: )
