I just wanted to let you know I haven't died.
ohmigosh you're alive
So are you. : )
I was wondering if we were ever going to text again
Unfortunately, I am sort of trapped at my apartment.  In the sense that I can't really use the subway.
Eugh, yeah, I saw the pictures
do you have food, at least?
Yeah, but power is iffy.  I'm hoping it will be back on permanently tomorrow.
fingers crossed
Luckily I charged my phone at my friend's house today.
That's good
I think I'd go nuts if my fellow grasshopper hadn't contacted me
I know the feeling.  And, I'm glad I have some entertainment.  If that's alright with you.
The texting, I mean.
We're a couple of lunatics, aren't we?  Deriving entertainment from texting even though we've never met
you know what would be really weird?  If we actually knew each other
Grasshoppers.  Not lunatics. 
And yes, that would be really weird.
like, if we had met a few years back but forgot and such
I hope I don't know you and hate you.
That would be awkward
I don't hate anyone.  So, at least that's clear.
I may hate a person or two
Oh really?  Why's that?
High school can be rough
Yeah, it can.
there are a couple of people I'd never want to see again in my life
Like, who?
football Neanderthals
Oh, yeah.  Them.  I dunno, I could have taken them all easily.
At least, after I transferred.
I can't remember if you've mentioned transferring before or not
but it sounds like there's a story there
Well, there is.  It's related to the word vomit from yesterday.  Or the day before. Whatever it was.
Why do I get the feeling you're not going to tell me the story now?
I have no secrets.
oh really now?
When I was in high school, I asked someone to a school dance.  That got the crap kicked out of both of us.  After that, I transferred to a private school.
Ah
That's rough
It was a long time ago.
Mhm.  I had to transfer too, after the football neanderthals got too much to handle
I'm sorry that happened to you, Grasshopper.
I'm sorry about what happened to you too
Uh, I've gotta go, but I can text you later?
Um Sure.
(3 hours later)
*poke*
Well, hello there.
Sorry about the abrupt departure earlier
Oh, that's fine.  I used the time to read yesterday's newspaper. Lol
Any interesting stories?
Nah.  I just read the comics and did the crossword.  And the sudoku.
(mark another thing on the list of things to know about Blaine: only does the fun stuff in newspapers)
Meanwhile, I only know you like grande nonfat mochas and the color blue.  And cheesecake.
I'm a private person, as you know.  And you spill things like crazy
Sharing secrets with a stranger doesn't seem too scary to me
I grew up in Ohio
Really?
Yeah
Thats... weird. 
I also grew up in Ohio.
Wow
A little too close for comfort there
my boss is also from Ohio, see
Oh yeah?  Small world.
Definitely
I'm not asking my next question, because I know what your answer will be.
Ask anyway
You never know
Where in Ohio?
Hippo
Called it.
Sorry
No, it's okay, really.
You sure?
Of course.
I mean, what kind of President would I be if I didn't accept my fellow Grasshopper, no matter what?
Well, President Blaine, I appreciate that very much
Any time.
I have the best boyfriend ever *sigh*
You.. have a boyfriend.
Yeah, you know about him Rach
oh crap
that's the second time
crapcrapcrapcrap
Heh.
I am SO sorry, Blaine
No, no, I mean, we're just text friends.  It's not like I was looking for anything.
Or anything.
I wish you hadn't found out through my inability to keep text convos straight
I'm not really sure what to say. 
It's just such a personal detail, and... did you even know I was gay?  I forget
I think I just assumed.  I know I didn't say either way.
I don't mind if you say hippo, but... are you gay?
I have no secrets.
Yes.
Well then.  Good to know
I suppose it is.  Listen, I don't want to get you in trouble with your boyfriend.
You won't get me in trouble with him
don't worry about that
Are you sure?
Yeah
We met in Ohio
after I transferred
Ah, I see.
Are you... seeing anyone?
Not at the moment. 
I was.  Until about a week ago.
Okay, it's been 8 days and 17 hours.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Kelly Clarkson
touché
I won't lie, I think my neighbors have heard that song at least thirty times.
In the past week
Being perfectly honest here
I'd probably do the same thing
Maybe.
You'd sing it as loud as you could?
I could see myself doing that
It's a great stress reliever
Yeah, I see where you're coming from with that
I've gotta go now.  For real.  Maybe I'll text you tomorrow
I'll be around.  Have a good night, Grasshopper.
You too
don't keep your neighbours up all night
I'll do my best.
(Eli, can’t we work things out? I can just forget about the whole thing that happened, I swear.  I love you, I do.  Can’t you please come over?  We’ll talk it out and make everything better, like it used to be.  Please?)

October 31st

So did you neighbours get enough sleep?
They did. No singing for me last night.
Oh?
Yeah. I did something stupid last night.
Uh oh

Everything okay?

Yes. Well. I guess. I ended up sending this desperate text. Not good.

To your ex?
Lol it just makes me look really emo.
lol

I'm sorry
Did you die?
Not yet.

That's good

I like to think so.

I swear I saw it snow today.

Noooooo no snow

I don't mind it.

It's not that I don't like it

It's more that I want it to stay fall forever

Well what is it then?

I just told you :D

Favorite season?

Yeah, I just love the leaves changing colours and the weather (unless there's a hurricane) and just the general feeling that fall gives

I like winter. Snow makes everything quiet. And snowball fights in the park. And hot cocoa

hmm interesting

Whys that interesting?

I don't know

I'm super interesting

Even my coffee is interesting. Yay coffee

I'm not arguing with you on that

I swear its snowing.

yuck

Beautiful.

The snow is.

Or would be.

let's agree to disagree

Maybe.

I'm find to find a way to convince you

You can try

I'm going to. I just need some time.

What could you possibly do to convince me?

Its a secret.

oh dear

Blaine

Kurt

Where'd you go?

Coffee.

Well, I was walking home from getting coffee.

ah, I see

I'm going to my coffee shop

be back in a bit

Alright then.
