You guys are frakkin' awesome, okay? All of you. Well, mostly all of you. But basically back home was really shit. Like, way more shit than the shit stuff that happens here. And I'm not saying it doesn't suck sometimes, because it does, but... y'know. I have a job, I have-- okay, here's the thing. This place? Half the time it's like living in a video game, which is awesome. And the other half of the time, it's like having actual friends. And, y'know. That's pretty awesome too.

[ooc: In honour of Thanksgiving, Neil's been hit with the Giving Thanks curse, aaaaaand let's just say that his mental and emotional filters, and his boundaries, are a little weak today.]

You're in a good mood.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Jill. Thanks so much for helping me with... stuff with Lucy. And, y'know, for not thinking I'm weird and stuff.

[Not that he's doing a whole lot to help that case right now.]

[sempreadagio.livejournal.com]

You're welcome, Neil. And you're not the definition of weird in my book.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Thanks. What d'you call weird?

[sempreadagio.livejournal.com]

Pretty much me.

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

'course we're awesome. [ Yes, Amy is mostly just referring to herself. And maybe the Doctor and Rory are included in that 'we' as well. She's feeling generous. ]

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Amy. You make me feel better about not being normal. Also thanks for just existing and letting me look at you because you're really hot. Like, really really.

[He doesn't even seem to notice how very gone his brain-to-mouth filter is.]

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

Do I now, yeah? That's cool. And yeah, I really, really am, aren't I? [ So much laughter. But she's pleased and happy. ]

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, totally! And you talk to me. It's awesome.

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

Why wouldn't I?

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

See I was gonna go for more of a comedy slash horror movie analogy but I can see the video game thing.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, 'cause 's like all these weird challenges you have to go through, kinda like adventure platformers with puzzles. Movie works too, though, like when you kinda saved my life from a velociraptor. Thanks for that by the way.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Oh, where you have to like figure out how to put a bridge together or jump over a river while fighting jumping pirhanas. Andrew used to play those.

Checking you down in the 'people who remember to say thank you' column. That brings the grand total to two. Or something like that. Anyway, you're welcome. Besides, how often does a girl get to fight a veleociraptor?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, stuff like that. That's cool.

Who was the other person? Dude, er, girldude, you should totally fight raptors more.

Now Buffy is blaming Andrew for the fact that there was a tv show. It's his fault!

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

It kept him busy and saved our entire lives from being recorded.

Oh. It was sort of a metaphor...figurative lan--exaggeration? Something. Not like I keep a whole list. My Senior class gave me a little umbrella. Sort of a thank you for not letting us all die shiny.

[Lucy grins at him mischievously over the screen.]

So in this video game scenario, am I one of the girls with big boobs, almost no clothes and a giant sword?

[Video]

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[His ears go red.] S-sometimes it's a bow and arrows.

Re: [Video]

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Awesome sauce. As long as I get the big boobs.

[Video]

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[He laughs, and then that turns into a soft sort of smile.]

Thanks for... y'know. Being you, and stuff.

Re: [Video]

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

[That smile makes her a little bit melty. Really it's ridiculous.]

24 7. Thanks for like crazy girls? Or for just having the patience of Job and putting up with me. Take your pick.

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

This place is awesome, though! But what do you mean, don't you just either have friends or not?

[OoC: Backdating because I missed a lot due to lj-login nonfunction.]

[Video]

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it rocks. Thanks for talking with me about stuff, man. And for getting it when I say stuff and telling me to do music and... yeah. You rock.

And I mean like, back home I had friends but they didn't really like hanging out with me I guess. 'Cept Stephen, most of the time.

1/2

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

Oh. Uh. Yeah, hey, no problem! It's nice talking with you about stuff too.

[Video]

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

Really? Huh, kind of me too.

Minus Stephen, obviously.

[Video]

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

See? 'S the thing, people think you don't get stuff, but you really do and it's awesome.
