Conversation From Work: A Little One-Act

[iheartleaven]

Scene: A cruel 7:30 A.M. A housecleaning company's office in SODO. Workers are preparing for a meeting. Two of them, strangers, are off to the side. One turns to the other and begins a conversation.

Her: Do you consider yourself emo?

Me: (Lips part, but remain in shocked silence.)

Her: Because you've really got that look down.

Me: I... guess in...

First and foremost, I MISS YOUR FACE. Second, HAH! That is so classic. It's especially good because I had a 14-year-old girl tell me how hott (yes, with two t's) she and her friends thought you were when they saw you at the Y.

Better "hott" than "hawt."

I reply to you now from a position of Total Shame.

It's not your fault if network television steals from you. You could wear it as a badge of pride if you wanted: "I came first!"

Plus, now I know who's been stealing my pencils all these years.

I'm sorry I couldn't make it; like I said, playing the show was a big deal for a number of us, and I got home late and quite exhausted. You can only carry so many amplifiers in a day before it's time for bed. How did it go, anyway?

It was really fun. There were a lot more people there than we usually get, and they seemed pretty into it. The room was really long, though, so the acoustics were all weird and it sounded like we were underwater, which was kind of cool and kind of a pain in the ass.
