You know what else are good ice breakers? Giant polar bears. Get it? Because they weigh a lot? Oh god, I can’t believe I just made that joke. How lame can I get?

Respectable magazines, I see. Favorite board game? Are you actually making me remember the last time I played a board game? I… I think it was Pictionary, so for the sake of actually answering this question, let’s say that that’s my favorite, okay? My drawing talents are unequaled by anyone I’ve yet to meet- mostly because they can all draw better than me.

My question: Favorite book. I like Tale of Two Cities, but you can never go wrong with a nice Shakespeare play or romantic easy-read.

I had an okay day- it was a lot better after getting your message.

Oh my god, I love it. Lame jokes are the best, and never let anyone tell you differently.

Why thank you. Pictionary’s a pretty great game, too, and I am one hundred percent positive your drawing abilities streamline mine. I can’t even draw a smiley face without it looking demented.

Tale of Two Cities? Not bad, but a little too boring for me- I prefer To Kill a Mockingbird, if you’re going classic literature, or Harry Potter, which, to me, is also classic literature.

Question of mine: Favorite superhero? Good ol’ Superman for me, I think.

I try to be witty more than lame, but sometimes it can’t be helped. Glad you appreciate it. :)

I’m sure you’re exaggerating and I refuse to believe that a simple smiley can look all that demented.

Tale of Two Cities is the opposite of boring! It takes place right during the French Revolution! There’s a lady with a hit-list! How much more exciting can you get?!

Superheroes, huh? Probably… Spiderman. Not that I like spiders- I don’t, I hate them- but he is a pretty cool superhero with some cool powers. Peter Parker’s not bad either. ;)

Next question: Favorite food. I favor chicken parmesan, preferably with a side of steamed vegetables, maybe some cheesecake for dessert.

I’m sure I’ll appreciate your wit as much as I do your “sometimes” lame jokes, then. :)

Oh, you’ve yet to see my smileys though. They are quite evil looking... I occasionally feel like they should be locked up. Or maybe my hand should just be broken so I can’t create them anymore.

No. Dickens goes on for literally pages describing anything and everything that does *not* move the story onward. That, my friend, is what we call boring.

I have to agree with you there, Peter Parker does have his moments...

Favorite food, okay, I can do this. Maybe I can’t. Kurt, why did you have to ask me this, I don’t think you understand- I love food. But I’m gonna have to go with... maybe...pizza? Or sushi. Sushi is good.

My question: Phone number? :)

Well, I certainly hope so. :)

I still don’t believe you, I hope you realize this. And I will continue to not believe you until I actually see one of these smileys.

It sets it all up! It makes the action even more riveting and the story even more heart-wrenching! The whole is greater than the sum of its parts, Lucas. Come on.

Yessir, he does.

I was a little disappointed by pizza, but then I thought, well, maybe he doesn’t mean the delivery-grease-covered-heart-attack-acne-causing kind. Maybe he means, like, gourmet pizza. Sushi’s a better answer though.

Oh, suave, Mr. Duvall, very smooth. But fine, since you asked so nicely... {cell number}

What do you do? Jobwise, I mean. I work in fashion, for a custom tailor.

No need to hope. :)

Then I’ll just have to send you a picture, won’t I? Just wait, you’ll see.

No. If it hadn’t been required reading I never would’ve read it. At least, I wouldn’t have finished it. And I never put down a book I’m in the middle of, but this would’ve been an exception.

I thought so. :D  Great, I’ll text you and then I can bug you there too. ;)

And I work in the entertainment business. But it’s not as big a deal as it sounds when someone says that, really. Tell me more about your job though; a custom tailor? Does she work you hard? Like in The Devil Wears Prada?
