Night before School starts and we're sitting up chatting?
loganecholls09: So, what did your extra fortune cookie end up saying? Any great predictions in your future?
x Meg Manning x: Nothing too life-shattering. To live in fear is not to live at all. Which, you know, actually pretty true.
loganecholls09: Even in bed, how about that.
x Meg Manning x: *rolls eyes*
loganecholls09: *grins* As long as it's good advice...
x Meg Manning x: Might as well make it applicable across the board, I get it.
loganecholls09: Possibly better than mine. "You are filled with life's most precious treasure... Hope!" I plan on using the lottery numbers.
x Meg Manning x: Well, you may not be filled with hope, but there's some in there...what's the point in playing the lotto numbers otherwise.
loganecholls09: I'm filled with hope that these are lucky numbers.
x Meg Manning x: Because you honestly care if you win somehow?
loganecholls09: Exactly. Of course, I need it.
loganecholls09: Note the sarcasm.
x Meg Manning x: Of course.
x Meg Manning x: Maybe we can attempt to spoil Grace with your winnings. Not that that'll exactly take much.
loganecholls09: I'd buy her a big trampoline, but I'd be tempted to keep it myself. So, I'll share.
x Meg Manning x: I'm sure she'll appreciate that.
loganecholls09: And you? I wasn't just planning on sharing with Grace and leaving you out.
x Meg Manning x: Like I thought that for a second? Right.
x Meg Manning x: Though, seriously, I think if you attempted to get me bouncing on that thing on a day I've had cheerleading practice, I'd be more inclined to lay on it than anything else.
x Meg Manning x: Trampolines are really comfy.
loganecholls09: Enough bouncing for one day?
x Meg Manning x: Pretty much, yeah. I love cheerleading, but everything in moderation, you know?
loganecholls09: Well that goes against my "You can never have too much of one thing." But, yeah, I was thinking of putting one in the main dining area instead of a table. It's looking a little more fun.
x Meg Manning x: You aren't worried about hitting the ceiling?
loganecholls09: Not terribly. We have some high ceilings.
x Meg Manning x: Plus, hard to lay on them and watch the stars if it's in the house.
loganecholls09: So, you're suggesting that jumping goes on outside by the pool?
x Meg Manning x: Not so close to the pool that you could jump into it, but generally don't the giant trampolines more fun outside?
x Meg Manning x: It's not like there's snow to ruin it or anything...it's Neptune.
loganecholls09: Well I was thinking indoor jumping might quell my need to jump on beds.
loganecholls09: :-)
x Meg Manning x: You have a burning desire to jump on beds? This is new and interesting info.
loganecholls09: New and interesting? I must be a thrilling person.
x Meg Manning x: Well, I don't think I've been bored around you yet, if that counts for anything.
loganecholls09: Well, I don't plan for that 'yet' to ever come into action, so... good.
x Meg Manning x: Definitely :)
loganecholls09: Well, I could always have an indoor and an outdoor trampoline.
x Meg Manning x: Because you need two?
loganecholls09: To fill my bounce quota for the day.
x Meg Manning x: You can only use one at a time, you know. :P
loganecholls09: Unless cloning is perfected.
x Meg Manning x: Um...don't take this the wrong way, but I'm not sure the world could handle two of you, Logan.
loganecholls09: Well, then hopefully there's enough of me to go around.
x Meg Manning x: Well, I can't speak for the rest of the population, but I don't feel ignored.
loganecholls09: And I don't feel particularly giving towards others in the same way. So, mostly, as far as the people that matter are happy.
x Meg Manning x: So basically there's plenty of you to go around because you're not sharing yourself with anybody but me? I must be pretty special.
loganecholls09: You must be.
x Meg Manning x: Well, you're not arguing. Good sign. ;)
loganecholls09: I say the same thing about the winking smiley. :D
x Meg Manning x: Would you?
loganecholls09: Well, it seems less corny coming from you. Winks can be flattering and they can be... less flattering.
x Meg Manning x: Okay, excellent point.
loganecholls09: ... and if I were to wink at this point?
x Meg Manning x: I wouldn't be offended, but I might laugh, after all the talking about winks, you know?
loganecholls09: Only as long as I'm good for something. ;-)
x Meg Manning x: You're such a goof. You know that, right?
loganecholls09: I know, but it gets you smiling and that's something.
x Meg Manning x: Because making me smile is some unbelievably difficult challenge?
loganecholls09: No and it's not a point either. It's just... enjoyable.
x Meg Manning x: Even when we're talking online? You can't even hear them in my voice nevermind see them.
loganecholls09: You were smiling weren't you?
x Meg Manning x: Yes, I was smiling. Your point?
loganecholls09: I was too.
x Meg Manning x: Good. I like when you're happy.
loganecholls09: I know.
x Meg Manning x: Of course you do.
loganecholls09: Looking forward to school in... how many hours from now?
x Meg Manning x: Classes start in less than 9 hours. And as much as I'm looking forward to school, I'm looking forward to the seeing you part the most. Which is probably bordering on pathetic since you dropped me off a few hours ago and I spent most of the day with you, and I'm talking to you now.
x Meg Manning x: What can I say, I like spending time with you. *shrugs*
loganecholls09: Well, I don't mind your company myself. We have English together at the least.
x Meg Manning x: And Lunch. Can't forget Lunch.
loganecholls09: And before classes!
x Meg Manning x: And right after classes before I have to rush off to whatever it is I'm doing that day. Or home if I don't have anything.
loganecholls09: All times to look forward to.
x Meg Manning x: Will you listen to us? Planning out every little spare second we can possibly spend together.
loganecholls09: I can't help it if you're the only one who's actually some form of interesting around me.
x Meg Manning x: I think you might have to explain how anything about my life is even remotely interesting...
loganecholls09: Well, it's mostly just you, but I'm afraid I'm already giving you an ego. :-)
x Meg Manning x: Lizzie's forever insisting I need to get out and have more fun. I go to school, I do numerous afterschool activities, I babysit and do homework. There's an average week in a nutshell.
x Meg Manning x: Uh-huh, okay then, Logan. *rolls eyes*
x Meg Manning x: I'm so not the one of us with an ego.
loganecholls09: And you have a boyfriend who you occasionally go on dates with.
loganecholls09: Now.
x Meg Manning x: Right. That's pretty important...how did I forget that?
loganecholls09: Well, it's more of a recent thing.
x Meg Manning x: It is... but it's good.
x Meg Manning x: Trust me, definitely not minding. We've established how much I like being around you.
loganecholls09: We have. And vice versa.
x Meg Manning x: Grace had such a good time today, by the way. I had an email from Lizzie when I got home and she mentioned what a good mood Gracie was in. :)
loganecholls09: Yeah? That's great. I'm glad. She's a sweet kid.
x Meg Manning x: Yeah, she really is. Lizzie is too, but if anyone ever said that to her face she'd deny it to her last breath.
loganecholls09: Well, I'm pretty sure I have an open mind towards the Manning women.
x Meg Manning x: Well, so far you're two for two, I'd say.
loganecholls09: And the likeliness of getting four for four?
x Meg Manning x: Hard to say really. I can probably convince Lizzie to give you a chance. Whether or not she likes you in the end is up to you, I guess.
loganecholls09: Well, I can almost guarantee that Trina would adore you. However, whether you adore her is questionable.
x Meg Manning x: Trina would adore me? Should I even ask why?
loganecholls09: Well, I'm not sure she actually hates anyone or dislikes anyone - possibly with the exception of me, but I don't exactly indulge in her happy refrains. She's a morning person. I'm not. It doesn't work.
x Meg Manning x: Well, I promise not to show up at your door at an early hour overly cheerful.
loganecholls09: Kisses work if you plan any morning interventions. I might be able to put aside this whole 'Not a morning person' thing that way.
x Meg Manning x: Bribery will get me everywhere, will it?
loganecholls09: Nope. I'm not that general. Specific bribery from very specific people.
x Meg Manning x: Okay. Well, there was a 'me' in that sentence, so I guess I'm one of the select few.
loganecholls09: You and Alissa Milano. That's it. I swear.
x Meg Manning x: Alyssa Milano? Okay then... Good luck with that, Logan.
loganecholls09: Luck? Why do I need that when I have you?
x Meg Manning x: I outrank Alyssa Milano? How did I not know this?
loganecholls09: Well, I believe you're just finding out.
x Meg Manning x: It would seem so.
loganecholls09: Unless that should have been my pick up line for you. Something to the extent of "You score more points than Alyssa Milano"?
x Meg Manning x: *rolls eyes* Because that would have gone over so well that night. I'm sure, Logan. No, I think things worked out just fine without the obnoxious pickup line.
loganecholls09: So, the key is to pick fights and play the hurt puppy card, not the obnoxious pickup line. Right, that's what I've been doing wrong.
x Meg Manning x: You didn't exactly pick the fight, and hey...got the drunken idiot off me, so you know, bonus.
loganecholls09: Dry cleaning for beer over dress: 55$, Tissues for nose bleed: 2$, Finding a new romance among all the violence: Priceless.
x Meg Manning x: Definitely can't disagree.
x Meg Manning x: Seems kinda insane we spent literally years not talking after all the time we've spent doing that the last couple of weeks, doesn't it?
loganecholls09: Only a little.
x Meg Manning x: We really should get some sleep. Tomorrow morning's gonna be here far to fast...
loganecholls09: Agreed. I'll see you tomorrow morning before school.
x Meg Manning x: Definitely. Sweet dreams, Logan :)
loganecholls09: Night, Meg. :-)
x Meg Manning x: Nothing too life-shattering. To live in fear is not to live at all. Which, you know, actually pretty true.
loganecholls09: Even in bed, how about that.
