Conversation with Alexis under the cut. We write a play for her class at school. The play is about time travel.
mylittledecoy116: OMG so now I really want to go to the Paramore show.

mylittledecoy116: Because they are playing not one, but TWO new songs! TWO!
pointegirl71894: whoa!!
mylittledecoy116: I KNOW! The songs are called Ingorance and Where The Lines Overlap.
pointegirl71894: ooh, sounds good!
mylittledecoy116: But apparently, those are only working titles, and final titles aren't decided until tomorrow.
pointegirl71894: oooh
pointegirl71894: what did taylor pgp friend say about getting us tickets?
mylittledecoy116: I forgot to ask. Shoot. I'm sure Taylor forgot too.
pointegirl71894: well, call taylor and make her ask!
mylittledecoy116: But I'm not worried. Even if her friend can't get us tickets, I bet the day of the show we will be able to get tickets.

mylittledecoy116 wants to directly connect.
pointegirl71894 is now directly connected.
mylittledecoy116: if i'm a bad person, you don't like me
i guess i'll go, make my own way
it's a circle
a mean cycle
i can't excite you anymore
where's your gavel? your jury?
what's my offense this time?
you're not a judge but if you're gonna judge me
well sentence me to another life.
don't wanna hear your sad songs
i don't wanna feel your pain
when you swear it's all my fault
cause you know we're not the same
oh we're not the same
the friends who stuck together
we wrote our names in blood
but i guess you can't accept that the change is good
it's good
you treat me just like another stranger
well it's nice to meet you sir
i guess i'll go
i best be on my way out
ignorance is your new best friend
this is the best thing that could've happened
any longer and i wouldn't have made it
it's not a war no, it's not a rapture
i'm just a person but you can't take it
the same tricks that once fooled me
they won't get you anywhere
i'm not the same kid from your memory
now i can fend for myself
don't wanna hear your sad songs
i don't wanna feel your pain
when you swear it's all my fault
cause you know we're not the same
oh we're not the same
we used to stick together
we wrote our names in blood
but i guess you can't accept that the change is good
it's good
you treat me just like another stranger
well it's nice to meet you sir
i guess i'll go
i best be on my way out
ignorance is your new best friend
you treat me just like another stranger
well it's nice to meet you sir
i guess i'll go
i best be on my way out
pointegirl71894 direct connection is closed.
mylittledecoy116: ?
pointegirl71894: omg i cant wait to hear the music
pointegirl71894: i love the lyrics!
pointegirl71894: i love the lyrica
pointegirl71894: and i cant wait to hear the song itself
mylittledecoy116: Yeah, well, the version on YouTube is way too hard to hear, but if we go to the show, you'll hear it. Also, I think they're playing Decode, which should be fun.
mylittledecoy116: Oh, are you eating now?]
pointegirl71894: yes and yes
mylittledecoy116: So, like, yesterday I went to see Star Trek with my brother.
pointegirl71894: ew
mylittledecoy116: Excuse me?
pointegirl71894: i heard start trek was really bad and not like origional at all
mylittledecoy116: Do you know The Onion? It's a fake newspaper basically, so kind of like Weekend Update, you know? The news, but really funny.
pointegirl71894: ok
mylittledecoy116: They had an article that was like "Long-time Star Trek fans bash the new film as 'fun' and 'watchable.'
pointegirl71894: ohh okkk
pointegirl71894: helena said she hated it
pointegirl71894: with a passion
pointegirl71894: then again, she also hated twilight....
pointegirl71894: not exactly a reliable source
mylittledecoy116: It got a 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is like incredible.
mylittledecoy116: Twilight got a 49%.
pointegirl71894: oh
pointegirl71894: OH
mylittledecoy116: lol
mylittledecoy116: Um, but Damon Lindelof (you know, he works on Lost) was an executive producer for Star Trek.
pointegirl71894: oh
pointegirl71894: ok want to help with homework?
mylittledecoy116: Yes, I was hoping you would ask.
pointegirl71894: ok cool
pointegirl71894: help with character outlines for playwriting
pointegirl71894: help me create the characters
mylittledecoy116: Yay!
pointegirl71894: cool
pointegirl71894: dystin, caleb, and tess
pointegirl71894: dustin*
mylittledecoy116: Oh, okay, because I was confused. I was like let's use real names.
mylittledecoy116: Um, but what happened to Charlie and Daniel?
pointegirl71894: daniel (dustin) charlie (caleb)
mylittledecoy116: Oh...
pointegirl71894: tess isnt based off anyone
pointegirl71894: shes caleb's girlfriend
mylittledecoy116: So she's Claire?
pointegirl71894: sure
pointegirl71894: but shes not based off claire so much as the other two are based ooff their lost equivelents
mylittledecoy116: Okay, neato.
pointegirl71894: so brb
mylittledecoy116: Okay.
pointegirl71894: back
pointegirl71894: we'll work when im done eating and clean up k?
mylittledecoy116: When will that be?
pointegirl71894: like, 5-7 minutes
mylittledecoy116: Alright.
pointegirl71894: ok so
pointegirl71894: neat, casually dressed. clean cut, jeans, t-shirt, maybe worn leather jacket
pointegirl71894: about mid 20's
pointegirl71894: lives alone in small apartment, really no reletavies nearby
mylittledecoy116: OMG, so this is totally off subject, but like so I guess Daniel was born in 1977. That means that when Desmond went to go see him at Oxford in 1996, he was 19. Um, way to make an error, Lost.
pointegirl71894: ee
mylittledecoy116: I know. That's weird that they would mess up so badly.
pointegirl71894: oh well
mylittledecoy116: Anyway...
pointegirl71894: ok, so btw we're talking about dustin
pointegirl71894: aka daniel
pointegirl71894: friends, that'd be caleb
pointegirl71894: but why?
mylittledecoy116: They aren't even friends. They've never even met. But they are both BFF with Desmond, so maybe Desmond died and Charlie and Daniel were both at the funeral and became BFF.
pointegirl71894: oh, thats a good one!!!!!!
mylittledecoy116: Thanks.
pointegirl71894: and its great because the first scene is at caleb's funeral!
pointegirl71894: beautiful!
pointegirl71894: desmond needs a new name
mylittledecoy116: you mean Desmond's funeral, not Caleb's.
pointegirl71894: no, the story statts at calebs funeral
pointegirl71894: because remember, its only one act, and dustin has to go back in time to save caleb's life
mylittledecoy116: Oh, okay. Desmond can be named... something that sounds like Desmond. Edmund?
pointegirl71894: ok
mylittledecoy116: Ok.
pointegirl71894: daniels occupation
pointegirl71894: his whole time traveling work is a secret, so it has to be something completly different
mylittledecoy116: A physicist.
pointegirl71894: ok, no
pointegirl71894: COMPLETLY DIFFERENT
mylittledecoy116: Um, a... politician.
pointegirl71894: no to hard
pointegirl71894: someting suttle
pointegirl71894: give him a job fromo someone else
pointegirl71894: from*
mylittledecoy116: Why not a politician?
pointegirl71894: cuz thats very public
pointegirl71894: hes a little shy
pointegirl71894: more like...a science teacher
mylittledecoy116: Yeah! A science teacher! Can he teach physics?
pointegirl71894: sure
mylittledecoy116: YAY
pointegirl71894: what grade level is that
pointegirl71894: physics?
mylittledecoy116: My sister is taking it and she's in 12th grade.
pointegirl71894: ok
pointegirl71894: ill say 11th/12th grade
pointegirl71894: status in the community
mylittledecoy116: What do you mean?
pointegirl71894: how do other peopole view this person?
mylittledecoy116: As a really, really awesome person who is awesome.
mylittledecoy116: Um, no. Are we trying to like...make it as much like Daniel as possible?
pointegirl71894: Viewed as a smart, hard working teacher. Students in his class get good grades. Nobody else knows about his work with time travel.
mylittledecoy116: Because if we are, then are we talking about how the other characters on Lost view him, or how the viewers view him?
pointegirl71894: ok, next
mylittledecoy116: Um.
mylittledecoy116: Does he have a rat named Eloise?
pointegirl71894: no
pointegirl71894: ok next question
pointegirl71894: now we're in internal charistics
pointegirl71894: inteligence
pointegirl71894: seriously fricking smart
mylittledecoy116: Yeah, because he is a professor at Oxford at 19.
pointegirl71894: yup
pointegirl71894: persionality, attitude
mylittledecoy116: Nice. Put nice.
pointegirl71894: ok
pointegirl71894: what else?
pointegirl71894: i have to elaborate more than just nice
mylittledecoy116: Oh, shoot.
pointegirl71894: nice caring.
pointegirl71894: cares about students, very accepting of students and each one's various obstacles
mylittledecoy116: OMG, do we get to pick what he looks like? Tell them he looks like a squirrel.
pointegirl71894: we already picked what he looks like. but we can only pick what he wears, cuz you dont know what actor you'll get
pointegirl71894: sense of self, like self esteem, level of cinfidence
mylittledecoy116: What? Can he wear a skinny tie? Who is the actor? Jeremy Davies?
pointegirl71894: welll, he can wear the skinny tie to work
mylittledecoy116: YAY
pointegirl71894: yeah, i wanted to have him wear a skinny tie, but it didnt match his outfit
pointegirl71894: ok, sense of self
mylittledecoy116: What do you mean, it didn't match his outfit?
mylittledecoy116: Sorry, my computer is on a lot of drugs right now and wouldn't let me type anything for like 7 hours.
pointegirl71894: like, i said, he was wering a worn leather jacket
pointegirl71894: and a skinny tie? no
mylittledecoy116: So tell him not to wear the jacket. Daniel Faraday doesn't wear leather jackets.
mylittledecoy116: Hey, do our characters need last names?
pointegirl71894: um, probaly
mylittledecoy116: YAY
pointegirl71894: but not faraday
pointegirl71894: something else
mylittledecoy116: Edmund Helms. Get it, it's like Hume kind of. And then Caleb... um, we'll come back to him. And Dustin... um, nothing is as good as Faraday.
pointegirl71894: well, we need something else
mylittledecoy116: Caleb Chase. Can it be Chase? Can that be a last name? It rhymes with Pace.
pointegirl71894: ok
mylittledecoy116: You see what I did there?
pointegirl71894: YES
mylittledecoy116: Cool.
mylittledecoy116: So Dustin.
pointegirl71894: and tess

pointegirl71894: no*
mylittledecoy116: I have no idea what that means, but I want to do it so bad.
pointegirl71894: how does it work
mylittledecoy116: No clue!
pointegirl71894: oh

mylittledecoy116: I like Caraway.
pointegirl71894: ok
mylittledecoy116: So I was watching Star Trek and someone was trying to explain time travel to this guy and the guy was all "I'm a doctor, not a phsycist!"
mylittledecoy116: It was AWESOME.
pointegirl71894: ok so dustin again
mylittledecoy116: We already gave him a last name.
pointegirl71894: i know
pointegirl71894: but we need to know more about him
mylittledecoy116: Okay. He is awesome. And a genius. And a phsyics teacher. And he's nice. What else do we need to know?
pointegirl71894: level of confidence and self esteem
mylittledecoy116: Oh, he also has memory problems brought on by radioactivity.
pointegirl71894: focous
mylittledecoy116: I am focusing.
pointegirl71894: level of confidence and self esteem
mylittledecoy116: He has low self esteem.
mylittledecoy116: I guess.
pointegirl71894: ok
mylittledecoy116: IDEK
mylittledecoy116: Perhaps you should ask him, not me.
pointegirl71894: ok i will
