[Neil is standing near the fountain, watching the insanity of the crowded City unfold.]

So wait... what the hell is going on today?

...No one ever tells me anything.

[ooc: OPEN ACTION, DOUBLES WILL BE WELCOMED, SPOILERS FROM BEYOND MID-BOOK 4 (where this guy's from) ARE ALSO COOL TODAY. BASICALLY EVERYTHING IS OKAY. I'M EXCITED. =D
also: I will be trolling under my personal account, jeilovesyou. As myself. So... that's who that is. If you wondered. Hah.
also also: I KNOW I HAVE A MILLION AND ONE TAGS TO DO, I promise I'll get to it after I have my tea.
AAAAAAAAND ACTION!]

Yeah, stupid. And y'know another thing, If y' can't make up your mind what you want from somebody, trial and error is kind of a sucky way to figure that out. Girls should... should know that! Breaking up with someone over and over is bullshit.

Oh my god, I can't tell you how much that annoys me in shows or- well, in real life, either. I mean, there's one couple I know that were on-and-off for a while, but they did something right, and just stayed 'on' and they got married last year. But still, it's so annoying!

But you should stick up for that, you know? A lot of girls thing that guys are stupid and are all perverts. Which isn't true, guys are simple and think simplistically, which is very much not the same thing as stupid. But seriously, communication is always the key. Tell them that you refuse to play a part in their experimentation!

Really? They got married? Wow.

Yeah! I should tell her that! ...Them. Should... tell them that.

[bakurakrazie.livejournal.com]

Yeah. They were okay the last six months they dated. They stayed on, a lot fewer fights. They're overall a great couple, though. She gets kind of mad scientist sometimes and he dances a mean Single Ladies dance.

Wait wait wait, them? More than one girl has done this to you?

[Neil nods, considering this.]

What? Yeah. I mean, no, I just meant... in general. 'Cause in the future, girls might... [He sighs.] ...Actually yes.

[bakurakrazie.livejournal.com]

What, seriously? What about you makes these girls scream 'use me'?! What were their excuses?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

I-I dunno. Maybe I just have really bad luck.

[bakurakrazie.livejournal.com]

No, no. That's way beyond bad luck. Lack of confidence, maybe. You should work on that. Start, like, looking into a mirror and saying sappy shit like 'My name is Neil, I am awesome, and I deserve someone who likes me for me!' Girls like confidence anyway.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Confidence. Right. [He straightens his shoulders back, part-subconsciously.] I-if anyone asks, though, I'm totally not gonna talk to a mirror. [Which means he totally is.]

[bakurakrazie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, people always say that you should practice monologues in front of one, but that always seemed kind of ridiculous to me? I don't know. I guess it must work for some people, otherwise no one would recommend it.

But yeah! Confidence. Like yourself! Don't be so down on yourself.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

I-I'll try that. Uhmm. Thanks.

[bakurakrazie.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! And good luck. No bitches, hey?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[That gets a grin.] No bitches.
