You want me to meet your friends? I'd offer, but I don't have a vagina, or want one.

[likefatherlikeson]

It would be cool if you did. But don't feel like you have to or anything. I did not want to laugh at that, but you got me.

[beautifulday]

They wouldn't want some random Bostonian dude sticking his nose in on their squad, though. Oh, see? Told you I would do my best to make you laugh again.

[likefatherlikeson]

We're all fellow random something or other's. Most of us came from other places. That's the nice part about it. You did, and that's not been easy lately.

[beautifulday]

Tell me about some of them? I can see you're in pain, though, so I won't do it too much.

[likefatherlikeson]

Maybe you could just meet them for yourself? I couldn't do them justice in a few lines. Don't stop it. You don't know how much I need it.

[beautifulday]

I'd like that. It sounds like they're real special to you. Do you still feel like you want to hurt yourself? Or does your medication help with that?

[likefatherlikeson]

They are. They don't judge, and that's priceless in this day and age. It helps cope better, but it doesn't take that away. It's still there.

[beautifulday]

A whole lot of assholes in the world who think they were born with the innate talents of being judge, jury and executioner in other people's business. What can help with it?

[likefatherlikeson]

That may be the best description of it I've heard. Removing the stress, I guess. It's kind of like pulling the plug out of the wifi modem to reboot it after this happens.

[beautifulday]

Until they shit out of my asshole, they can piss off out of my business. Does it work? Because I know that doesn't always work with the internet.

[likefatherlikeson]

That's just it. They say until you walk a mile in someone else's shoes and all that, but I don't want a dumbfuck walking in my shoes. Nope, not really. It takes a lot more than just a reboot.
