Kacey Call 8

Kacey Call 8 is a talk between Chris and Kacey which took place on the second of September 2009.

Summary

 * Chris says he found out that he can earn up to $980 a month at a job and still collect welfare.
 * Kacey and Chris talk about Hannah Montana and then the subject moves to Seinfeld, Family Guy, and Friends.
 * There's some brief mentioning of an episode of House featuring an autistic child as well as some YouTube hentai that Chris doesn't remember favorite-ing or leaving a comment on because he was Christopher at the time.
 * Chris admits that he believes that he has gotten rid of Christopher and that Kacey was right that he didn't actually have multiple personality disorder.
 * Chris believes that he was being possessed by a ghost of one of the trolls who have died. His best guess is either Max Milvana or Clyde Cash.
 * They have an endless boring conversation about diet and health.
 * Chris gets "thousands" of troll calls a day and thinks that Kacey and Kim should get new phone plans so that they don't come in as restricted/unknown and he can answer safely.
 * The call ends with Kacey becoming angry at Chris for telling another girl that Kacey "wasn't his sweetheart YET" but that "they were warming up to the idea".
 * Kacey states that they are only friends and that's all they will ever be; Chris is very disappointed and states that he only told the other girl that because it was "wishful thinking".

Chris: Hello?

Kacey: Hey Chris, it's Kacey!

Chris: Hey Kace, how are you?

Kacey: I’m OK, just a little tired. How are you?

Chris: Ahh, I’m OK. Yeah, I got some good news though, in case Kac-Kim hasn’t told you. My fath- my fam- my father and me went down to the Social Security office. Apparently, I can earn $980 in a month at a job and it would not affect my Social Security.

Kacey: That’s good. Is that just for the trial period?

Chris: It’s you know… in general.

Kacey: So…that’s forever?

Chris: Prob- Likely so.

Kacey: Oh! Well that’s great news. See? Now go get a job. You can do it. That’s awesome. I’m glad you found that out.

Chris: Yeah… even though I pretty much have taken care of Wal-mart over the Internet. I’m going to personally go to Target tomorrow, as well as McDonald’s, maybe Toys R Us, or maybe a place in the mall, a couple- I’m not sure a-about those other places. Yeah, I’ll definitely be going out to turn out applications tomorrow.

Kacey: That’s good. That’s good. Um…I’m happy about that. Like what did you want to do? Like maybe, just be a door greeter or something?

Chris: If I could, I’d like to be either a stock shelfer- a shelf stocker or a cashier. Or ev- or even.

Kacey: [Interrupts] Oh yeah, if you stock shelves, you can work on those muscles.

Chris: Yeah, or even be, you know, just be- mopping the- just janitorial work. I’d be- I wouldn’t mind doing that.

Kacey: Oh yeah, that’s good. I mean, th-that’s a good humble position. I hope you get it. Umm... just remember you’re going to have to listen to authority if you do that. [chuckles]

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, it’s OK. I can- I can take direction as long as it’s, you know, [pause and sigh], as it’s at a certain level of forcefulness. Umm... as long as it doesn’t give the impression of major threat, something like that. But yeah, I can follow direction easily enough.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Oh yeah, that’s good. Well definitely good luck on that and keep me posted.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Alright, I will. Hmm, so yah have some- a class or two today?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Of course I did. Yeah, I have classes Monday through Friday.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, that’s right. Yeah you do. And then you go to work right? Yup.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Yep. Well today I didn’t go to work. I did some laundry and some housework.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: That’s good. [pause] That’s good to have some time to yourself. Um [<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: "Yes."] anyway, did some laundry, did some housework… Um... didn’t you say you were living with a roommate?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Ah, yes I do have roommates. I decided dorm life wasn’t for me.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Oh, dorm life? So you’re not living in a dorm?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Nope.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Oh, um… Is this like… you’re living in your own house?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Um, we’re renting. It’s just an apartment. It’s pretty small.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Oh. You moved, so you’re in an apartment now.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Ah, yeah. You know, cuz it’s the start of the semester.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: I’m sorry, what was that?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Cuz I moved, at the start of the semester.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Oh you moved- oh OK. Yeah, I remember we talked earlier about you-you’re living with your roommate and uh-b-borrowing your roommate's PS3 and whatever.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Right.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Like that rules out that messa- communication to your roommate’s PS3 if you don’t have a roommate right now [chuckles like he’s made a joke]. Well at least you still have your Wii. [<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: "Yes."] You know, we can talk through that.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Yes.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: You know, yeah have you updated with the recent updates? It’s an update-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: [interrupts] No, actually I haven’t. It’s still glowing blue. I’m uh, I’m you know, I just haven’t really touch it lately, I’ve been busy.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah you know, one of the updates I’ve noticed on my Wii, I-I keep it and my Play Station 3 up to date. Y-You know in addition to the t-text messages, you can also send ten-second voice messages.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Oh, that’s cool.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Y-yeah, you have to have the Wii speak for that. You know, it comes with Animal Crossing, by the way, I have that.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Oh, well I don’t. I mean, I got the game, but I didn’t get like the pack with the Wii Speak.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, You’d need the Wii Speak for ah… for the ten-second recording. [pause] Anyway, um, let me see… what else, what else. OH yeah, I, ah return Labyrinth today, but I- guess I- guess what I rented for a dollar? It ca-came into the fam- It came into the dollar section last time, I noticed, when I rented Labyrinth.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Ah, my other favorite movie, Dark Crystal?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [Pause] Dark Crys- Ah no. I don’t think you mentioned Dark Crystal. If you did I might have forgotten it… Anyway, no not Dark Crystal, I rented Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus' Best of Both Worlds Concert.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Oh, cool. Hannah Montana. But yeah, you must have forgotten about Dark Crystal.

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

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: A-Aren’t you worried about being 27 and renting a Hannah Montana movie though?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Hmm, not too much. [Stutters] I-It’ll-It- not too much.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: I mean, she is underage.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Well, I mean, yeah, I mean, I don’t have THOSE thoughts about her, I do not. I’m serious.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Yeah, but still. I’m just saying. You know, like me, I’m a girl, but don’t you worry about what people think when the see a 27-year-old man coming up with Hannah Montana?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: I liked her music, so it’s like, I, you know, want to hear a little bit more of it. Of what I’ve heard, which isn’t very much.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: [At a loss for words] Ah, OK well. A-as long as your comfortable with it. You know it’s just, some people would think it’s kind of gay.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Well… [Pause] Yeah, it’s like you know… I think I’ve told you before how… It’s like I have a mindset of a younger age a-at most of the time, even though I have the body of a 20-adult. So it’s like, you know, I like to enjoy the a current young-type things you know, my children will be enjoying themselves.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: [Long pause] Well I mean, yeah, it’s good to have nostalgia and everything. Like sometimes, I’ll watch old things like Jem or Care Bears or something. But you still have to grow up. I mean, y-you know, it can’t rule your life.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, like, I should be watching more House or The Office.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: I-If those are things you enjoy. You don’t have to do everything just because I do it.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah. I-I do enjoy Seinfeld and Family Guy and… I enjoy those adult comedies.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: That’s good.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [Long pause] You know, I can-can’t just quote Seinfeld off the top of my head, it would have to just randomly come to me from memory. [Giggles] You know what? George always struck me as funny you know, he’s like the quirky guy that’s just, you know, being himself but yet nobody really likes him that much.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: So do you identify with him?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Uh yes, in like, you know, yeah, r-related to me, like similar life style and yeah fairly much so yeah I’ll-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: [Interrupts] So, So you’re like the George Costanza of Sonichu I guess.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [Offended] No. I had not even thought of that and the thought of that just, just does not register with me.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: But you just said you identify with him.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [Huffs and sighs] George Costanza of Sonichu. That’s a worse image to imagine than those, t-the retarded open-mouthed [adds "retarded" voice] “Hey look at me. I’m some kind of idiot” [returns to normal voice] Sonichu fan drawing somebody, I recall somebody else doing-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: [Interrupts] What?! Ar-Ar I-It was just a joke. Are you trying to make fun of me? [<font color="#0033FF">Chris: "No."] I mean, that’s insulting.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: No. I’m not making fun of you.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: And I mean, you can’t make fun of people like that. We’ve been through this before. What are you doing?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: No, no. I was just saying the image…of a George Costanza Sonichu, it just does not appeal to me.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Yeah, yeah. But don’t call people retarded like that. That was uncalled for. I don’t even know where that came from.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [Stress sigh] If you noticed on the ED page, there is a whole bunch of questionable fanart… where it’s mostly-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: [Interrupts] Chris! I thought-I thought you didn’t like the ED page. Why do you keep telling me to go to it? I mean if all the stuff, in your life...

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [Tries to cut in but Kacey talks over him]

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: No, just stop. Stop! You talk about it all the time, you need to let it go.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, I do hate it. I’m just saying, like you know, I have seen it before. I have seen it-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: [Cuts in] Yeah, but like every other phone call you keep talking about it. “Kacey go look at it. Kacey go look at it.” I thought you didn’t want me to.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah. I do not want you to look at it. I-I don’t have to talk about it. B-But I’m just saying…don’t… They just made me look stupid. Th-Those artists are just drawing those to make me look stupid.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Whichever.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah. Anyway, umm… We can talk about more pleasant things ah… Yeah. I got- umm… My tugboat came in early- um came in earlier... ah so I invested a dollar-nine, I invested a little bit of it and downloaded that to a House I told you about.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: OK.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Season 3, episode 4: Lines in the Sand.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Right.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, it’s the one with the autistic child. I told you about that.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Yeah, yeah you did. Th-There’s a lot better episodes though.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [Sounds dejected] Hm... Though still I mean-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: [Talks over] But House is pretty good all the way around.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Ok, yeah, yeah. That’s good that you enjoy House. Yeah. I can enjoy- I can enjoy it more…I mean yeah, I can get into that you know-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: [Interrupts] Well um, I see that you’ve um... favorited some new videos. Um... there’s one anime that I actually really like. Um, so, I mean-

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Parappa the Rapper.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Nooo, the Welcome to the NHK.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [Pause] Wait. Umm...

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: You don’t know what videos you favorited?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [Pause] Hm, I put, a like you know, so like umm…. Wait, OK. Was this a recent add to my favorite list? The ah, Welcome to the N-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Yes!

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: I don’t even remember. I do not even remember that one. I hope nobody is hacking into my pla-my YouTube again.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Bu-But you left-

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: I’ll have to take a look at that.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: But you left a comment…I mean it’s…

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [Long pause] I do not remember that. [Small pause] Oh my god, I hope nobody’s got into my YouTube again… I’ll have to take a look at that when we finish up here.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: No, no, I’m pretty sure everything’s OK. I mean, you left some weird comment saying that it had something to do with Christopher or something. I mean, d-do you do things that you don’t remember?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: If I, if I did, if [Stress Sigh]... I don’t know.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: I’m going to take that as a Yes.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Well, I don’t know. I mean, if I did…and I wasn’t suppose to, and if I didn’t know it after the fact I did it... it would definitely be like, you know, I don’t know. And-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: [Interrupts] But, uh, I guess- I guess does Christopher know?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: No, I willed him away Monday night. I have not heard from him since. I mean- I mean you were right, it was just a possession. I was being possessed… probably by a trolling site- probably by a ghost of one of the past trolls that died.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: [Astonished] W-What?! What do you think it is?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: A-A What you told me, you know, p- I was being possessed otherwise I, otherwise yeah. I mean, I was aware, I was aware what was going on with that other guy so, yeah. It definitively was not a split personality. I mean-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: [Talks over Chris] Well I mean, there’s a comment that, that read, "I want out Christian." So you think it’s the ghost of a troll that died? Which troll?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: I don’t know. There’s like a number, there’s like a number of them. Like I don’t… I can name two off the top of my head. Max Milvania, who posed as Julie during that Julie fiasco, and then there’s Clyde Cash.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: W-Well I mean, from what you told me… I thought Max was alive, I thought Clyde was the only one who was dead. You think it’s Clyde!

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: I do-I don’t know everything. I don’t know. I’m just speaking theories right now. I don’t know for sure.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: W-What happens if he’s still in you? Oh my gosh!

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [Stress sigh] A-Anyway… hm

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: NO! This is scary. Oh my gosh!

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [Dramatic sigh] It is scary. But anyway I-I-I wil- I willed that second guy out of my head Monday night and I have not heard from him since.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: But I thought you talked about him the other day…I mean, are you sure? I mean, if it’s really that strong of a possession it could be tricking you. Maybe that’s why you’re going blank. I mean, you talked about this yesterday. So, you couldn’t have sworn it off on Monday.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [Long pause] No, I willed it away W-I-L-L.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: OK, you couldn’t have willed it away though cuz you were mentioning this yesterday. OK. Well, let’s just hope that it is gone.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [Starts stuttering] No, no, no, no, yeah we- I mean we weren’t – I mean yeah, we were talking about it yesterday. But it’s like, you know, I wasn’t sure I had willed it away completely. I wanted to make sure, like you know, by waiting, you know, a couple of days to a week before I fin- before I make a final statement around my theory of having willed it away- having will-willing that guy away was true or not.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Um, OK. I-I’m not quite sure that makes sense, but OK.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: It’s like you know, you want to make sure-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Maybe you should still see that doctor, you know?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah. I’m gonna, yeah, I’m gonna, yeah, I’m gonna...

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Have you made an appointment? Or have you seen someone?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, I made an appointment with Doctor McGovern. And ah, yeah I’m- yeah yeah. I’m going to talk to him and I’ll...

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: You’re going to see him soon?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yes, and I’m also going to ask him about the a, about the gym membership discount.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Oh that’s good, that’s good. I hope you can get one.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, that, that would be good. By the way, I’ve mentioned to my mother, but not my father, about my shop-, my shopping for sports bra.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Yeah, I-I don’t think that, I’m not sure your dad would be comfortable about that.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah but, my mom, my mom was more understanding about that topic.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Oh? So your mom agreed?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah. [Pause] She did.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: I mean, you are older, so you don’t have to tell them anything, you don’t have to tell them everything Chris. Especially with adult decisions like that. You can’t go running around-

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [Tries to talk over Kacey] Yeah bu, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I m-I mean...

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: But, I’m glad she agreed with you.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: You know, I feel- I feel like my mom should know since, you know. I’m going to start exercising- I’m going to start going out and start jogging. But then I had- I told her before about my manboobs and my concern about them. So then there’s like, you know, I wanted to let her know that, you know, I do notice that when I move about quickly I do shake about a lot so that bothers me. So I’m in the market for a sports bra a-and she agreed with me on that.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Okay. Well as long as sh-she agreed.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah. [Long Pause] Hmm... but yeah, shopping for vegetables. Yeah, I can definitely go to the grocery store and get more ah, get more fresh, more fresh produce instead of going out to a fast food restaurant, even though it might be a little bit more pricey.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Right, right. But eating healthy is like that. Um, so what kind of vegetables are you going to get?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: You know, definitely fresher salad. You said Romaine, Roman, Romaine [<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: "Romaine lettuce? Yeah."] Contains more than regular lettuce.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Right, like regular lettuce is mainly just roughage and water. Like, the best thing is mixed field greens.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, mixed field greens. Yeah you did mention that. Mixed field greens, I remember. Yeah, mixed field greens or yeah salad with Romaine lettuce. O-OK. How about tomatoes?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well, I mean, of course tomatoes are good.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, crushed tomatoes. How about-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well, well I mean, just stay, just stay away from things in cans. Like, it’s OK every so often, but, um you know, there’s a lot of sodium in there. And even if you get the lower sodium kinds it’s still not as good and it doesn’t have as many nutrients.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Well, O-OK, well st- but I’m talking about like, if I go to the grocery store and they have a little mini-salad bar where I can make my own salad. I could find- and they have like the Romaine lettuce and then I’m just- you know individual vegetables that I could put into my salad.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well, I mean, remember, just salads aren’t all you can do. You know, um...you know you could, you know, get certain types of vegetables you could cook with.

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

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: I mean raw is good. I mean, have you ever thought of trying tofu?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: I’ve heard of tofu, and I’m not really sure about it.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Oh, I love tofu. I add tofu to salads. I add it to everything.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: You add tofu to your salads.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Yeah, and you should, ah, try soy milk.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Oh yeah, m-m-my mom and I, we drink, ahhhh, we drink soy milk.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: OH, you already drink soy milk.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, Silk. Th-That brand of soy mil-brand of soy milk, Silk. I’m sure you’ve heard of it.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Oh, OK.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, but my mom generally likes to get the chocolate-flavored soy milk, Silk.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: So, do you drink it a lot?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, I drink it sometimes. Yeah, I could drink it more.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: You should… Um OK, you should try to get the regular white one. You shouldn’t always get chocolate all the time.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, OK. I’ll kee- I will keep that in mind.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Yes.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: OK. [Pause and Chris starts to mumble and talk under his breath] Hmm... so always eat tofu and you... You mentioned soy milk ah yeah, let’s continue on from there. What’s your next suggestion?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Ummm. OK, well you should eat a lot of, let’s see here… um definitely a lot of dark leafy vegetables, like kale and collards and stuff, in moderation of course. Because those have fiber and a lot of vitamins you need.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Hmm... Kale and collard?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Collards, yeah. And mustard greens, turnip greens…

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Oh. I like turnip greens. I’ve never heard of mustard greens though.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Th-They all pretty much taste the same.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Hm. Well, I used to confuse turnip greens with spinach.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Really? Totally different taste.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, different taste but I used to you know, because the got- th-they both just have that dark shade of green

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Right.

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

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: But, I mean, remember Chris, I’m not a doctor or a nurse yet, I mean... you can Google these things and they’ll give you a lot of information on vegetables and stuff. J-Just remember, only eating vegetables is bad too. You need to have balance and everything.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, I understand that balance. Yes, yeah so I’ll eat some fruits as well so yeah. Let’s talk about fruits. Um. I-I think you can agree, with like apples, bananas, oranges, lemons for lemonade.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Oh yeah, th-that… Definitely, definitely citrus fruits are good. Ah, you should try to eat grapefruit every morning.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Hmm. OK, yeah, grapefruit. Um, OK, I’ll, well. How about, let’s see, strawberries…?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Yeah, berries are good too. You should eat a lot of blueberries.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Ah, more blueberries than strawberries?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Yeah, if you... You should eat a lot of blueberries.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: OK. You know- you know they put ah blueberries and strawberries in McDonald’s, in they a parfait. I’m just saying.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well I mean, um, you could also get those types of juices, like the natural ones. I mean they’re pretty expensive but their worth it. Like the berry goodness one’s really good and so is the green one. It’s got like kiwi… It’s got fruits and vegetables in it.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Ah, OK, wait a minute. Juices?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Yeah, I mean like a juice or a smoothie in the morning is good, cuz ah you don’t want ah- eat too much at breakfast but like I told you. You want to do like five little meals everyday at least.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, OK. I’ve tried smoothies… I like those. We got- we- I-you know I get a smoothie, you know, every once in a whi-once in a while we’ll get a smoothie from Sheetz. They’re pretty good. Fresh fruit smoothies. I generally like the ah-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well just remember you don’t want it to be an unhealthy smoothie. Like, there’s this place in the suburbs that I like to go to and they have this health shake and it’s got like wheat germ and fruits and stuff in it and it’s got nothing, like sugary, in it. It’s really good.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: OK. Yeah, definitely local-l-local, local smoothie shops. Yeah, can agree with you on that. I can definitely name one around here that you know, you might find next time you’re in town, unless- if you feel like it’s the same kind of place you got um [unintelligible] at lunch and I found.[<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: "Huh?"] You know the advance cards, you know the advance card that comes out like every September, aaand [starts being incoherent] sticks em out for a life, but their good for a year and it has all these discounts and whatnot?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Uh-huh.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, but anyway, but anyway, They have one on the new one I just got. It’s called a tropical smoothie buffet, [<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: "Uh-huh."], if you wanna go shopping there, Joshua introduced me to it to him. Very good wraps and smoothies there as well.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Oh that’s good, but um, you should also talk to your doctor about getting on a vitamin diet plan. I mean, y-you just take vitamins every day, like calcium and iron and vitamin B at least.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah. Yeah, I was on vitamins for a while years, uh, a few years ago but then I… I just didn’t feel like taking them and I just stopped on that.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Wait. You can’t do that. I mean, that’ll hurt your body. I mean, sometimes we do need supplements.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, OK. I’m just saying, like I you know, I did- it was like this box of multiple vitamins, you know, like 30 packets and you get like one pill of each vitamin, and uh, in th-in th-in the one, in the one packet and you take those one at a time. You can find them at CVS, but I forget what the brand name is though.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: But, ya, you know those may not be not exactly what you need, like you should talk with your doctor. You might have to get your vitamins, you know, separately and everything. Cuz some of those packs, the-they’re-they just put them there to make money. Like, you should actually go to a place that specializes in vitamins.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Hmm. Yeah, OK. Anyway getting back to this smoothie café for a moment though. On the coupon, on the advance card it allows me ten percent off any wrap, sandwich, or smoothie.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Oh, OK.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: That’s a good deal.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Yeah, but you know, don’t, don’t, don’t uh, jeopardize you health just because it’s a good deal. I mean your health is worth way more than that.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah I kn-I just wanted to get that away while I had the card in my hand.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: And besides…you know, some calcium things, they have calcium chews now. So I mean, th-there’s like so many things you can do.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Ah, you said calcium chews?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Chews? Yeah. I use those.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: OK. Yeah, calcium chew… Alright. Hmm, ah shoot. Oh, yeah, Would you agree to yogurt?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Yeah, yogurt is really good but you have to watch out with how many flavors you get cuz then that’s when they add the sugar. Um, cottage cheese and fruit would probably be better. But yogurt’s good every so often.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: OK, well just for record though I’ve- I have actually tried cottage cheese before and I jus- and I do not like it.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well, I don’t blame you, but it’s still better, I mean, you could also put it in smoothies with fruit. I mean, you could do that with yogurt too. And then you can’t taste it as much. But you’ve gotta use the plain yogurt, you don’t want the ones with added sugars.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, OK. Plain yogurt.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: And, and some of the ones, even if they’re diet, they still, like, they still can mess you up when they have like Splenda and stuff in them.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Ahh, what and stuff?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Splenda. You know, like the fake sugars.

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

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: It tricks your body and you shouldn’t have a lot of it.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, OK. Not a lot of Splenda. [Chuckles] Had a lot of Splenda. [Long Pause] Hmm. OK, let me think a moment. [Long awkward pause]

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: So, anything else on your mind?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: OK, well yeah. I’m pretty much taking in everything we talk about so far. I’m trying to think of a b- of- I’m trying to think of the a-the- a new- something new- good something new to talk about. Umm.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: What ab- what about Sonichu? How are you doing on Sonichu?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Oh yeah. Because, you know, I had to go downtown today with my family and Social Security, I was- I couldn’t get another page done today but… Yeah, yeah I’ll try to get some more pages done tomorrow.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: OK, that’s good.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, definitely, yeah, you know, I should keep in my mind, you know, I originally started it as a hobby so I should continue it as a hobby, I should not let the trolls try luring me down.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Right.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Y-you know, their ridicules and all that. Yeah, I was just talking to Kim about, like you know, how to deal with- how to cope with the ah, stress from the trolls. You know, I-I got- Oh by the way, I should let you know, umm, I-I’m on a cell phone plan where I can talk air-time free between 9 and 6, 8, 9pm and 6am and on the weekends.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: That sounds like every cell phone plan.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Hmm. But any- Yeah. Anyway after 9 o’clock, I checked my voice- I check my voice messages and de- and delete a majority of them which, you know, also where troll messages anyway. And then, you know, I get to the few incoming calls from familiar troll numbers, or otherwise stri- or otherwise restricted. And, ah, unavailable numbers, which by the way, I know Kim does not call me til the 10 o’clock hour except she said sometime between 9 and 10pm tonight?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well what are you going to do if we call you anytime else?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Hm, yeah, I do have my phone on silent and… just ignore them.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Bu-But what happens if- No, what happens Kim or I try to call you any other time? Like, what if it’s just to say, "Hey, I can’t talk to you later." Or something? I mean is it just because you don’t have enough minutes?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Uh, no no. It’s just like, you know, I get too many incoming troll calls. I mean they’re coming in by the thousands, even if it’s from- I mean, you know, just the number of calls, not the number of people. I get them in the hundreds to thousands [Stutters]. I-It’s been piling up lately it’s-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well, you should start blocking those numbers.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, but most of them are restricted or unavailable and you can’t and you can’t block those. If you know how, if-if you don’t know the number to block then there you go…

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well, technically you can but I don’t think you should if you wanna talk to us and stuff, you know?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, I, Yeah I know, Yeah. And I have not been able to figure out the blocking option on my phone. I thought I was close, but I rec- but I needed a password and I do not know the four-digit password.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: You don’t know the password on your own phone?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Not at the current moment I do not.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: I mean, I guess you’re just going to have to deal with them, you know?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah. I’ll just, ah, listen to my messages and delete them. But anyway, you know, between you and Kim y’all work on your way on voicemail you know. Hm, I’m going to check those- I’m going to check those probably during the afternoon hours, I could. Ye- you know, yeah, you and Kim can just leave me a message on my voicemail, I’ll get it.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: I-I guess. But you know, it-it’s just frustrating, like sometimes when, you know, like when I was at the mall and I couldn’t reach you. I mean, I don’t know, you just do whatever you feel is best.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah. There’ll be- There’ll be- I feel it’ll be much better, you know, yeah, yeah, try and see if you can life the restricted thing off your phone or get a new cell phone. And th-that pretty much goes for Kim too, you know, so then I can-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: [Interrupts] Well, you know I can’t because of my parents. So I wouldn’t bank on that anytime soon.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, I know. I know but I’m just putting that out there. You could probably do it in the future, not right now. Yeah, you understand. Anyway, yeah you know, just make it so I can actually read your number and then I’ll know it’s you. Every time.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Right.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, but I mean like, you know, currently I’m expecting you and Kim to call me, you know, respectively during the 10 and 11 o’clock hour.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well you know, we-we do have lives, Chris. I mean, sometimes that’s just not going to work.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah. Well you know, y’all could send me like, an e-mail, early in the day. I check my e-mail about early afternoon.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: OK, well that’s great, but I mean you know since we’re FRIENDS, you know, you’re going to have to make some effort too. So I mean… you know… And speaking of us being friends, Kim told me something interesting. Umm, you know this girl named Scout?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Oh yes, yes, yes Scout, she ah-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well, apparently YOU had an e-mail telling her that I wasn’t your sweetheart YET, but we were warming up to each other. What did you mean by that?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Oh, well I was just saying…I was… [Long awkward pause] Hmm... let me think a moment… [Another long pause] I ah, um, Scout and I were gonna meet up- were eventually going to meet together and you know, hang out, but-but then it just never up.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: That-that may be true, but that doesn’t have anything to do with what you told her. You know I’m still in love with MY Chris. You know I’m still going through a lot. So why would you tell people things like this. I mean, what did you mean by that? That we’re warming up to each other. And yet.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: I-I mean warming up to each other as-as friends.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: You said I wasn’t your sweetheart YET. How hard is it to understand, that right now, we are friends.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: I-I understand det-

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: [Talks over Chris] Just say we’re friends. It’s like you’re trying to mold me into something, or trap me. That’s not cool. I mean what happens if [<font color="#0033FF">Chris: "I’m sorry."] we’re forever friends?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [Pause] Hmmm.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: I mean, what happens if I’m in love with Chris forever? I mean, what happens if, even though the circumstances are horrible, he’s my true one?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Well… do you really feel that way right now?

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Right now I do. And that’s why it hurts so much.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Well, if you really want to go out and find him, I will not send you away.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: I-I know, just yo-you- we need to be friends, Chris. You need to tell people we’re friends. You can’t plot behind my back like that.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [Dejected] OK. I’m sorry.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: I mean, how hard is it say friends?

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, it’s not hard. But it’s called wishful thinking…

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: I-I know but the thing is it- it’s wishful, you should keep it to yourself. I mean, if something happens, it does. But if it doesn’t, it doesn’t. The thing is that, you’ll… You just can’t do that. I mean, that’s going to make me angry and push me away. And you need to be respectful of my feelings and how much I love someone else. Even if he can’t be with me.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: [Stressful Sigh] Yeah, I understand and I’m sorry.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well I hope you do, cuz you know, that just irritates me that you’re doing that behind my back.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Yeah, OK. Well I can- I can undo Scout. I think yeah Scout was pretty much the only one I told that too, at this point. I mean, it’s not like I made a YouTube video, which I did not. I can swear to God on that.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well I hope not.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: I promise you I would not. [Pause] And, but yeah sure, I’ll straighten Scout out, if it’ll make you feel better.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: It will make me feel better. It’ll make me tons better.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: OK, I’ll send an e-mail to Scout and let her know that you and I are just friends. Yeah, I’ll straighten her out.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: OK.

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

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: Well, [Chris stress sighs] I’m going to go ahead and go and [<font color="#0033FF">Chris: "Yeah."] you know, I’ve got school so I will talk to you- I might be late tomorrow because I’ll be working but I’ll try to talk to you when I could.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: OK, I understand. I-I’ll be waiting for you.

<font color="#FF0066">Kacey: OK, alright. Bye.

<font color="#0033FF">Chris: Bye, talk to you later. Stay safe. Bye-bye.
