BlueSpike PSN Chat 4

BlueSpike PSN Chat 4 was the fourth PlayStation Network chat between Julie and Chris, held on 20 February 2009.

Summary
In this recording, Chris reveals that Barb has a low opinion of his Internet friends and demands that her son fetch her drinks. Chris, being Chris, neglects his mother and forces her to do things for herself.

Don't miss Chris displaying a rare moment of clarity when he expresses incredulity at Julie forgetting what degree she had earned, an 'I see what you did there' moment involving a German phrase and Chris describing what provoked his...um, naval response.

Transcript
Julie: What are you doing?

Chris: I was just about to, uh, check the BBC channel so I can digitally record tonight's episode of Monty Python.

Julie: Ah, alright.

Julie: So, um...

Chris: Yeah.

Julie: You were going to read the letter, weren't you?

Chris: Yeah. You want me to read it on the, uh, YouTube.

Julie: Um, well I wasn't going towards that, but I guess you can read it on YouTube if you want.

Chris: Well you mean you're not forcing me to?

Julie: No, I'm not forcing you to, but I'd really like you to read it on the YouTube.

Chris: Alright. (partially inaudible, sounds like 'I didn't get it.')

Julie: Hmm.

Chris: Oh! (clattering, overlapping loud noises) Oh, I, uh, my father wanted me to ask you, uh, how are you on your education level? What's the highest you've accomplished so far, or are you still going to college?

Julie: I finished college.

Chris: Oh, you finished it?

Julie: Yeah.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: That's good. What degree did you get?

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: I forget. I'm too lazy to check, I'm sorry.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: You forgot what degree you got?

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Yeah, it's been been kinda like...I dunno, I have a short term memory span.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Oh. So it's like you got to have things written down for ya sometimes, huh?

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Yeah. I'll look it up later, though.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: OK. So was it...it was a college over in Molvanîa, wasn't it?

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Wait, I finished high school. I'm sorry. I'm tired.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Oh. Oh, you finished high school?

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Yeah, I haven't gone to college yet, I'm sorry. I'm kinda tired, I forgot.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: It's okay.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: My mind was a blur.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Okay.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: What about you? You went to community college, didn't you?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, I went to Piedmont Virginia Community College. I earned two Computer Aided Drafting and Design degrees.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Hmm.

(A woman's voice can be heard, may be Barbara's.)

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yep.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: What do you think about--

<font color="#0033FF">Chris (interrupting): You're like 24 years old, right?

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Nah, I told you, I'm 19.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Oh, you're-you are-you are 19?

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Yeah, I told you, remember?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah. I thought you-I realize you were either 19 or 24.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Oh.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: I guess I was mistaken, my bad.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: That's alright. So what did you think of the pictures?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris (sing-song): You sent the navy.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Hm. (chuckles)

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Seriously though, I loved the pictures.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Thank you.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: I love to finally be able to know what you look like.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Hmm.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: I'm gonna tape the letter and your pictures onto card stock and put it in a plastic sleeve so I can, uh, better preserve it for my future reference.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Ah.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Oh, uh, can your friend send me a copy of the file-the picture files in an email so I can, like, have them digitally? 'Cause I want to make a couple of them my, uh, wallpapers on my PSP and my PS3.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie (puzzled): What? Oh, yeah. Oh, my friend. I'll try and ask. Yeah.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Alright.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: I think they're stuck on her computer right now.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah. I kind of estimated that. That's why I said to ask her.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Yeah.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Do you wa-do you want-would you like to talk to my father some tonight?

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Uh, no, not tonight.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Okay. I thought of a way of how I can get my mom up here if you want to-if you still want to meet her.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Um, sure. Alright.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Alright. Hang on just a moment here. Here's the uh, here's the dillio on what I'm gonna do to get my mom up here. I'm gonna move the camera so it's angled to the couch, you know?

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Well Chris, you don't need to bring her up here you can just give her the headset, couldn't you? I can talk to her on there.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Hmm. Yeah. You see, I offered her that and she refused that twice, you know, so it's best to bring her up here.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Me-I don't think...I dunno.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: It'll be alright.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: I'm really nervous. I don't think I want to, I'm sorry. I'm just kind of nervous.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Just kind of nervous. Well, I can understand that.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Thank you.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: I respect ya. And I love you.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Hmm. So, wait, what got on ED?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Oh! Yeah, a couple of au-there were some audio files that were extracted from a couple of past chats with Panda on the Skype. Including where I described the, uh, my idea of first-first sexual intercourse.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Oh. There's nothing of ours on there, is there?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: By the way, this is before I met 'cha when these were record-and whatcha say?

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: There's nothing of ours on there, right? I don't want any trolls getting a hold of that.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Hmm. I dunno, but I hope there isn't anything of ours over there.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: I can check, if you want.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, that might be a good idea.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Alright. I'll check right now.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Okay.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: So, anything you want to talk about while I check?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Uh, let me see. My father wanted to know what your highest school education was.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: It was high school.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah. It was a high school over in Molvanîa, wasn't it?

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Yeah. As and B minus.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Okay. So you were on honor roll, basically?

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Yeah.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: That's good. You know I was on honor roll throughout Providence Middle and Manchester High School.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Hmm.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: And I was on the dean's list at Piedmont. You are 19, but you'll be 20 in July?

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Yup.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: July 13th, wasn't it?

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Yes it was.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Oh, no wait...

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Wait, was it-

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Oh yeah, July 13th.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Yeah, July 13th.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Okay. Yeah. Remind me so I'll remember to let her know when to get you your present.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Ah, alright.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Hmm. Right. So, you said you won't be able to afford to make the trip right away...

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Yeah.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Hmm. Tell me, how much money are you making currently at your current jobs.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Uh...not enough, Chris. Not enough. It's-it's just the economy's--the economy's so awful it's just-

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah. I hear you. Hmm. You're saving that though, aren't you?

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Yeah. I'm making a little over minimum wage, but I don't think that's enough.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Well I tell you what, you just keep saving that and maybe you'll still be able to come in March or April.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Chris, I thought you said you were going to come to Ohio.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris (dismissively): Oh. Yeah, I can't come to Ohio...

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: But Chris, you said you would! You told me! I was so excited!

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Chris, I'm not gonna...you make more money than I do every month. It's... Why do you-

<font color="#0033FF">Chris (sighing): Okay, well...yeah. I'll plan to come to you. Alright. I'll make plans and set money aside for a road trip over to Ohio.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Thank you.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: But I'm still gonna need your address so I can get directions on MapQuest.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Alright.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Like, you know, you can send that to me in a PSN message or you can spell it out for me right now and I'll write it down.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: I guess I'll send you a PS...3 message.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Alright. That'll be easy to understand.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Yeah.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: At least I know you're over in Cleveland, Ohio.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Uh-huh.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: And there was another friend of mine-oh, I'm sorry, go ahead.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: I noticed that you actually said Ich bin Schwule wrong. It's Ich bin Schwule.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Oh. Okay, how is it spelled?

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: No-no, just-you-you have it right, up to, uh, the last part. It's Schwule, not Schwell.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Schwule.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Yes, there we go.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: So it sounds like, uh, spelled S-C-H-W-A-L?

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Yeah.

[The correct spelling would indeed be "Ich bin schwul." as "schwule" translates to "[multiple] gays".]

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Okay. I'll have to memorize that E to an A.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Yeah. So try saying it again.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Ich bin Schwule.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: There you go. Hmm. I love you too.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Ich bin Schwule from my heart, Julie.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Mm.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Oh, by the way you know, I have to leave the computer for a moment because my mom called me to go downstairs and she had bought me a slice of pizza when she got herself one earlier this afternoon.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Oh.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: So I basically picked up my slice, put it on a plate and put it in the fridge.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Mm.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Then she also asked me to bring her down some water and Sprite.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Huh.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: But, uh, but (garbled) computer (garbled) big heavy, big bulky pizza box for ya.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Ah.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: -made me forget.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Ah.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: And my mom ended up coming upstairs and getting a water and a Sprite.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Ah.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: And she gave me a little bit of a discussion about, uh, my mom being more important than my friends.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Aww. Hey, Chris?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: And also, like you know-one thing she said that kind of irritated me a bit...

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Yeah?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: It was like "What have those friends done for you? They haven't done anything."

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: That's not nice.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: And then I said-

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Chris, can I ask you a quick question since we're in the confidentially of, uh-

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: I beg to differ.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: -since the PSN chat is confidential? Can I ask, who do you truly value more: your mother or me?

(long pause)

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: I value my mother very much 'cause, you know, she's my mother and I value you because you're my sweetheart to be.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Yeah.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: And I'd really like to be with you or have you come to me as soon as possible. But I will plan on coming to Ohio within the next couple of months.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Aww, I was thinking you could come here for your birthday, it'd be awesome.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Hmm. I see. Yeah. I ch-I checked (garbled) not without the budget right now.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie (disappointed): Oh.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: I'm (garbled) my next tugboat.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Alright.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: And I'll be able to make the trip in March or April.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Maybe you should ask your parents what they think about it, you coming to Ohio.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah. Of course, first I'll have to get your address then I can get directions off of MapQuest.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Yeah, I'll send you the address. But Ohio's only like one state over, isn't it?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Uh, hang on, let me check my, uh, coin map. I got it out here in the hallway hanging on the, uh, just next door to my room. Um, actually Ohio is separated by one state between Virginia.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Huh.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Actually it's more like two. It's like one state layer. On the western part of Virginia, if you consider that small bit of edge between Ohi-between it and Ohio is Kentucky. But for the rest of the northwest of Virginia, between Ohio and Virginia, is, uh, West Virginia.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Ah. Are you go-You'll still be able to make it, right? Because I really want to see you.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah. I wi-I will definitely try to make plans on making the trip to come and see you. I might bring my mother with me, is that a problem or is that okay?

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Well I dunno, 'cause I was thinking that when you get here...you know.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: But, uh, after we meet then we get down to that I'm sure my mom will respect my privacy.

<font color="#CC00FF">Julie: Chris, I really don't think you should bring your mother. Chris, maybe you could stay with me for a while.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, I hear ya. Hmm. Something else I'll have to think about. But at least I have your pictures and your letter and all I need is your address and so I-
