Day 29

Person A: Hey I was wondering if you're free today.

Person B: No, I'm babysitting at six.

Person A: Oh that sucks.

Person B: Yeah I get to spend my night with an eight year old.

Person A: Well, what about we hang out till six.

Person B: Ehh I don't know.

Person A: We have like three hours.

Person B: Yeah, but as soon as I get there I'll have to come back. And the Mom always wants me to come early so that she can give me directions and stuff.

Person A: Yeah, okay no problem. Talk to you later.

Person B: Wait, don't think that I'm doing that thing like I did to Sam.

Person A: Oh yeah. (laughs). Doctors appointment from eight to eight.

Person B: (laughs)I felt so bad, but she completely bought it.

Person A: Yeah, no. I totally get it.

Person B: If it were anyother day I'd come over. I'm really bored right now.

Person A: Me too.

Person B: Well, what about tomorrow?

Person A: (laughs) I can't, I have a doctors appointment tomorrow.

Day 28

Person A: What are you guys doing?

Person B: None of your business.

Person A: It is my business because you took all of my blankets.

Person B: These are not yours. We found them in the closet.

Person A: So, just because you found them in the closet doesn't mean they aren't mine.

Person B: Blah blah blah.

Person A: Hey!

Person B: Just get out.

Person A: This is my house. You get out.

Person B: This is our clubhouse. And we put a sign that says you have to get out.

Person A: Intruders will be shot.

Person B: Thats right.

Person A: Shot with what?

Person B: A gun.

Person A: A gun? Really? Show me your gun.

Person B: No, if I do I'll be arrested.

Person A: You'll be arrested if you shot me.

Person B: Just go. Eve is coming back with some super secret stuff. We don't want you to see it.

Person A: What kind of super secret stuff?

Person B: Stupid, what do you think super secret means? We can't tell you.

Day 27

Person A: Hello, hey everyone. Hi, we have a special announcement to make.

Person B: First off, we'd like to thank you all for coming here tonight. It means a lot, really.

Person A: Yes, thanks for coming. I know that you all've been dying to know what the fuss is all about. You know, why we threw together this thing together in the first place. Well-

Person B: Well we appreciate your patience. We wanted our closest family and friends to be here for this.

Person A: I mean, we grew up with you guys. Well, I grew up with my friends and family and Kristin grew up with hers but soon it will all be one big family, and group of friends of course.

Person B: Yes. Well, you all know that Jim and I have been together for three years now.

Person A: Some might say too long. You'd have expected me to make my move a little quicker. (laughs). You know how I am with this. Ah, it took me five weeks, almost a month, to even ask this little darling out.

Person A: Yes and now that we are together, we've been discussing taking the next step.

Person B: She even had to drop hints for that one. Even though I've been thinking about it ever since our first kiss.

Person B: Yes, well we have decided that as our third anniversary nears, it would be best to make our relationship official.

Person A: We're getting married!! Ah, can you believe it?!

Day 26

Person A: Why don't we ever go to church?

Person B: We go to church. We went for Christmas last time. Don't say that.

Person A: Not that. I meant, why don't we go on Sundays like normal Christians?

Person B: We are normal christians. Just because we don't go every Sunday doesn't mean we don't believe in God.

Person A: I know, but why don't we go?

Person B: Well, we would go if you guys weren't so lazy.

Person A: Oh, come on. You never even ask us. If you ask us we would go.

Person B: I don't have to ask you. If you believe in God then you feel it in your heart to go.

Person A: But you don't go.

Person B: So, it doesn't matter what I do or not. If you want to go then you go.

Person A: Yeah cause I can just take myself.

Person B: Listen- Why are you taking a sudden interest in this? Hmm? You never asked before.

Person A: I was just wondering because today I asked Lisa to hang out and she couldn't because she was in church. And so I realized that we never go.

Person B: So, just because Lisa goes to church doesn't mean you have to. If Lisa jumps off a bridge are you going to?

Person A: Mom, it's church okay. Not suicide.

Day 25

Person A: Tuck me in.

Person B: Stop.

Person A: Tuck me in!

Person B: Shh.

Person A: Can you please tuck me in?

Person B: Hold on!

Person A: Sarah! Tuck me in!

Person B: Shut up, you're going to wake everyone up!

Person A: No. Come on, I've been waiting forever. Tuck me in.

Person B: No. I'm not. You didn't ask nicely.

Person A: Yes I did.

Person B: No you didn't. You didn't ask me to tuck you in, you told me to. For that, I'm not going to.

Person A: Just tuck me in!

Person B: You still have to brush your teeth anyway.

Person A: But you will tuck me in after?

Person B: No, maybe if you had asked me to I would have.

Person A: Why are you so mean? Just tuck me in!

Person B: You're the mean one. You're commanding me like you're older.

Person A: Fine. I'm not going to bed until you tuck me in.

Person B: Ok.

Person A: Tuck me in!

Person B: Shut up!

Person A: Tuck me in!

Person B: Tuck yourself in!

Person A: You're so mean. Please just tuck me in!

Person B: You're going to wake Mom up! Shhh.

Person A: Why won't you just tuck me in?

Person B: Because, I know what you're doing. You're not asking me to tuck you in, you're forcing me to. You're trying to wake Mom up so that she makes me tuck you in. No, I'm not going to.

Person A: I'm so tired. Just tuck me in!

Day 24

Person A: Can I change this?

Person B: (mumbles)

Person A: What?

Person B: (mumbles louder)

Person A: Speak english!

Person B: I said fine, whatever!

Person A: Gosh, what's wrong with you?

Person B: What's wrong with you?

Person A: Shut up. You've been acting weird lately.

Person B: (rolls eyes)

Person A: Seriously, you've stayed after every day this week.

Person B: Ok, so I did my homework.

Person A: No, you haven't even been doing your homework.

Person B: I do it in school. Why do you care?

Person A: Because.

Person B: Can you go somewhere else to watch T.V?

Person A: I was here first. You move.

Person B: You weren't even watching T.V.

Person A: So? I was going to before you put this shit on.

Person B: Fine, then change it already.

Person A: I am. You can go watch your show in your room now.

Person B: (mumbles)

Person A: What is with you?

Person B: Nothing, I'm tired.

Person A: That's your fault for staying in school all day.

Person B: Whatever.... Is it okay if your muscles get swollen after you lift weights?

Day 23

Person A: It might just be me, you know. She's probably like that to everybody and I'm just making this up in my head.

Person B: I don't know...

Person A: Seriously, I'm just making a big deal out of nothing.

Person B: She seems pretty close to you though.

Person A: Yeah, but I watched her today, not in a creepy way, and she's really like that with everybody.

Person B: I guess so. She's always hugging people.

Person A: Or tickling them.

Person B: (laughs) And then they make that fake laugh noise that really means get away from me!

Person A: And you have to kind of shimmy out of her grasp.

Person B: Why can't she just tell when people don't want her to be like that?

Person A: I know! I was trying to give her subtle hints all day. She doesn't get it.

Person B: Yeah, I forgot to tell you, I saw when she put her hand on your thigh the other day and you ran off somewhere (laughs)

Person A: I told her I got an important phone call. My phone didn't even ring.

Person B: She's in love with you.

Person A: She just likes touching me.

Day 22

This was long, but I deleted it. Sometimes things are better when they are short.

Person A: Here we go, nutella covered strawberries.

Person B: Mmm. Tastes like you cheated.

Person A: What do you mean?

Person B: You used nutella.

Person A: Yes...

Person B: Lazy.

Day 21

Person A: So, you're going to your aunt's house ehh?

Person B: No, I never said that. She made that up by herself.

Person A: That's not what she told me.

Person B: All I said was- I asked her if you guys were going to gamble, thats it.

Person A: Have fun at your aunts house.

Person B: Why? What did I do wrong?

Person A: She said you were nasty to her.

Person B: No, maybe I was a little mean but I never said I didn't want to go with you guys.

Person A: Well, she said that you acted like you hated the idea.

Person B: I didn't hate it and I never said I didn't want to go. I was just concerned that's all.

Person A: About what?

Person B: That you were going to leave us to go gamble and then you'd all come back tired and not want to do anything in the morning.

Person A: Really? Don't worry you guys can watch novellas all night long.

Person B: (sarcastically) Haha.

Person A: And maybe if you're good she'll take you out to McDonalds for dinner.

Person B: Stop it, you're not funny.

Person A: I'm not trying to be funny. I'm serious. She's really sending you to your aunts house.

Person B: She was exaggerating.

Person A: No, she called me to cancel your ticket.

Day 20

Person A: I feel bad for not giving her more money.

Person B: I know, we should have given her more. She won't have enough to pay the rent.

Person A: It's just that I was so busy yesterday and I didn't want to go to the bank to get more.

Person B: Well Claire told me that whenever she's broke she goes to her house and then she knows that she needs money.

Person A: Claire's house. Thats horrible, she should be going to her fathers.

Person B: You know how it is. At least Claire has a hot plate of food waiting for her.

Person A: She should never have left. Your sister knows her father doesn't give a damn about her.

Person B: It's better this way John.

Person A: Better living by herself?

Person B: She choose to live like that.

Person A: Because she has no other option. Your sister shouldn't have sent her there. He left her in the first place.

Person B: I agree with my sister on this one. Its better for her there.

Person A: She's twenty years old and she's all alone. She told me that she doesn't even have friends there.

Person B: That's why my sister sent her. Her friends here were trash. You don't even know the kinds of things they wrapped her into.

Person A: But at least here she had family with her. She's lonely and depressed there, that's why she's getting fat.

Person B: It's for the better.

Day 19

Person A: Put your head up again Daddy. Dad, tilt your head up. Dad?

Person B: Oh like this?

Person A: Yeah, now turn like this. Good. It's not gonna come out exactly like the picture.

Person B: That's okay.

Person A: He has hair where you don't.

Person B: Hey, are you calling me bald?

Person A: No, you have hair where he doesn't too.

Person B: Good.

Person A: I'm just gonna put some moose to fluff it up.

Person B: Mh

Person A: Which moose do you want?

Person B: Just do your best.

Person A: Dad? Which moose do you want? This one or this one? Dad? Which moose.

Person B: Whatever sweetie.

Person A: But Dad, this one's for normal hair and this one's for thin hair.

Person B: Do whatever you want.

Person A: I'm going to use the one for thin hair okay. Okay? Dad!

Person B: Shh, let me watch this.

Person A: Whatever, I'm not making you look like John Lennon.

Day 18

Person A: Just... wait. Put that down, slowly. It's okay.

Person B: I said DON'T tell me what to do!

Person A: No. I'm not, see I'm not.

Person B: Shut up! Get that pen. I said get it!

Person A: I'm going, it's okay, I'm going.

Person B: Write! Write dammit. Write a suicide note!

Person A:Okay, I am. I - have- no- more- hope- any-more-and... Can we just talk, let's just talk about this for a second.

Person B: I said SHUT UP! Shut the fuck up! I'm am sick of talking.

Person A: Please. Just wait a minute. (cries) Not right now, not right now.

Person B: (laughs)You aren't listening. I said no talking. You're always the one to talk aren't you? Ha, well not right now.

Person A: Please.

Person B: (laughs) You want to have the last word again? Now? Now that you've pushed me to the edge? I won't feel any guilt because all of this was your fault. You killed yourself David.

Day 17

I'm noticing that lately my practice included conversations with children. This is weird since I have two cousins, one three years old and the other one and a half visiting my family. Even if the conversations are completely made up, they all resemble my life at the moment. I really don't want my friends or family reading this. I don't feel comfortable with them knowing that I write about them every night.

Another thing I noticed; I'm starting to begin and end in the middle of a conversation. Before each had a clear beginning and ending. Now, it seems as if they are cut off or go nowhere. I don't know why.

AHHH! This is day 29 ( it says 17 because I started from day 1 again about halfway through) One more until a full month ( even though I should be at around day forty) Whoo hoo.

Person A: No it was ten o clock when you left.

Person B: No it was nine o clock when I left. And then I put you in bed... Hmm you used to love that.

Person A: No, I like it shaked.

Person B: Shaken.

Person A: Can you make me another one?

Person B: What? No. Since when do you like it shaken?

Person A: Since forever. I don't liked it mixed.

Person B: Well, why don't you get you sippy cup and put it inside so that you can shake it.

Person A: It broke memember?

Person B: What? No it didn't. It's in the cabinet, go get it.

Person A: See? It's broken.

Person B: When did that happen?

Day 16

Person A: Did you forget to respond?

Person B: To what.

Person A: Oh, wow. I'll just stare at you until you remember.

Person B:(laughs) I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Did you ask me a question?

Person A: No. You don't know what I'm talking about?

Person B: Noo... (laughs)

Person A: You were supposed to respond.

Person B: Yeah... Give me a clue.

Person A: Wow, you should have at least responded to say no.

Person B: I'm sorry. I don't know what you're talking about.

Person A: My birthday?

Person B: Oh my God.

Person A: Yeah.

Person B: Holy crap .I am soo sorry.

Person A: It's okay. I put a couple of days before because I knew people wouldn't respond.

Person B: I can't believe I forgot. When was the RSVP by?

Person A: The 15th.

Person B: Oh, I'm sorry.

Person A: Ok.

Person B: So, what day is it again?

Person A: April the-

Person B: Oh yeah, is that during break?

Person A: Yes. Why? You can't come?

Person B: No, I don't think so. Sorry.

Day 15

Person A: No, don't touch that. Don't.

Person B: Why?

Person A: If you touch the screen, you'll damage the computer.

Person B: No touch. No touch.

Person A: I said don't touch that. You can touch here, but not here okay?

Person B: You don't touch that.

Person A: Yes, we don't play with that.

Person B: You don't touch that. You hear.

Person A: Yes, I won't touch that. Okay. You won't touch it either.

Person B: Don't touch that.

Person A: Oh gosh. Listen okay? Stop touching the computer screen. You can play with the keyboard, this part right here, see all of this, but not here, not the screen.

Person B: You can't touch that!

Person A: I know, stop touching it!

Day 14

Person A: What was she doing?

Person B: What else? Doing her hair. No matter what you say she won't listen.

Person A: I can't believe her.

Person B: She cares more about beauty than school. If you leave it up to her, she'd stay home painting her nails.

Person A: I told her to take a ten minute shower.

Person B: Ha. Ten minutes! She took almost two hours.

Person A: Doing what? She had time to go to sleep early and she'd rather have her hair pretty than go to school without bags under her eyes.

Person B: That's what I told her but you went ahead and let her take a shower this late at night.

Person A: How was I supposed to know?

Person B: You knew. She always does this to me when you're not home. And then when you come she acts like a little princess.

Person A: She's the same to both of us.

Person B: Please.

Day 13

Person A: I just didn't like the way she asked. To me, she sounded nosey, you know? But that's just my opinion.

Person B: Why, because she wanted to know where I was going and stuff?

Person A: I wouldn't do that. You just say "Have a nice time", and that's it. It's none of her business where you eat.

Person B: Yeah, I guess.

Person A: But what can I say, she's like family. We're all flawed.

Person B: (nods)

Person A: When you're with your friends, don't worry about what they're doing. You just have a good time.

Person B: I know.

Person A: They are always going to complain. There's always going to be that person. The food wasn't good, not enough music... I say that if you're happy, everyone is happy.

Person B: Yeah, I'm not going to sacrifice my fun for someone that doesn't want any.

Person A: Exactly. Don't be nervous. "Oh what should we do, which place will they like best..." Forget about it. You go where you want to go.

Person B: Yeah.

Person A: At my wedding - it was a cheap wedding- I had the time of my life. The time of my life, and we didn't go to an expensive place, we didn't get gourmet food, but I was happy, dancing. And no one complained. You know how they always go home to talk about the food, and if it was good. Well, it wasn't good but no one cared, because I had the time of my life.

Person B: Yeah cause if your not having a good time, you bum everyone out and then they look for reasons not to enjoy themselves either.

Day 12

Person A: That was my mom. She's mad at me for not buying anything yet.

Person B: Well, we've been in here for two hours.

Person A: I know, I'm sorry. She knows I'm a bad shopper. She should have taken me last week when we had time, not the day before.

Person B: Isn't that your fault?

Person A: Yeah for not appreciating them (rolls eyes).

Person B: It was pretty stupid.

Person A: I know! I mean I know I acted bad and everything. And now that I think about it I shouldn't have gotten that upset because it wasn't their fault, but they completely over-reacted.

Person B: So, did she tell you the store?

Person A: Only the one we went to. She got mad because I didn't like anything from there.

Person B: Well, they were expensive.

Person A: And they weren't even that special anyway. I bet she just wants me to wear that ugly black thing she bought and then changed her mind about so she gave it to me as a present. (laughs)

Person B: I wish I could share clothes with my Mom.

Person A: But I don't want her sloppy seconds. I mean, I don't mind sharing, it's like twice the clothes, but I don't want something she though was ugly first. You know?

Day 11

Person A: I'm sorry, I'm out of it. I can't believe I actually got home yesterday. I though I was going to fall asleep in the middle of the highway.

Person B: Mhm.

Person A: Thank God I got home. I was dead tired and all I wanted to do was pass out. And then your Dad started complaining about dinner.

Person B: Yeah Mom.

Person A: Here I was ready to die after running around all day taking my mother to doctor after doctor-I took her to the hospital! I didn't get to sit down all day and all your father did was whine about how I didn't make dinner.

Person B: Ok.

Person A: And then he complains about you. Ha! He's just like you!

Person B: Hey. Mom I'm not-

Person A: The same exact. Like a drop of water.

Person B: (sighs) Thats all I hear. You're just like your mother! You're just like your father! So what, I got the worse from both of you?

Person A: (laughs) I guess you did. Wait. When does you father say you act like me?

Person B: I don't know.

Perosn A: How do you act like when he says it?

Person B: I don't know Mom. Like you.

Person A: Well, I just want to know, you know, so that I know how I act.

Person B: Yeah.

Perosn A: I shouldn't have to worry about how I act right? My father loved my mother no matter what she did.

Person B: Mhm.

Person A: Listen to me. Don't ever get married.

Day 10

Person B: I get a 40% off discount.

Person A: Oh, that's nice.

Person B: Yeah... Do you think I should get a sports bra?

Person A: I don't know. Like for exercising?

Person B: No, just to wear under a t-shirt.

Person A: Would that look okay?

Person B: My friend wears them, she looks nice.

Person A: Okay, I guess.

Person B: Pink or neutral?

Person A: I can't believe we're talking about sports bras.

Person B: What do you mean? I always help you shop.

Person A: No, It's just that I have so many important things to tell you.

Person B: Like what?

Person A: I don't know where to start. We used to just jump right into these conversations.

Person B: I know.

Person A: It's like when we hung out all the time we had more new news to tell then we do now.

Person B: Yeah.

Person A: But when we have a year to catch up on, we don't talk about anything.

Perosn B: Well we can't catch up on a whole year now, so we'll just talk about recently.

Person A: Okay, so what's up recently.

Person B: Uh, I decided on pink.

Person A: (laughs) No really, hows life?

Person B: Life is boring. Clara's on vacation with her boyfriend so I'm alone in the house.

Person A: Clara...

Person B: My roommate.

Person A: Roommate? I though you still lived with your Dad.

Person B: Oh wow.

Day 9

Person A: Haha. I look like a chihuahua shivering. 

Person B: Yeah, you do. (laughs). It's really cold out. 

Person A: I heard it's the coldest day of the year. Perfect day to wear a dress right?

Person B: I don't understand girls and their clothes.

Person A: To tell you the truth, I don't either. Sometimes I just want to go out in pajamas all day you know. Or just a really big fur coat, I'm freezing. 

Person B: Oh uh... Do you want to borrow my jacket?

Person A: No, that's okay. 

Person B: No really, I don't mind. You look cold.

Person A: No, it's okay. You look colder. And if you give me yours you'll freeze to death. 

Person B: You sure?

Person A: Positive. 

Day 8

Person  A: No, I don't think we should do that. It wont work. 

Person B: Yes it will David, why wouldn't it work?

Person A: It's just not going to work. Think about it, why would anyone use an orange to symbolize fossil fuels?

Person B: I already told you. It will be interesting to see things in nature representing what destroys it. 

Person A: Yeah but, are you sure that the fruit will get across that way?

Person B: She said we have to present it in an original way. This is good, it will give us points. Now, can  you pass me the glue. 

Person A: I don't know. Personally, I don't think that a fruit bowl and the dying earth have anything to do with each other. We could try something a little more... relevant.

Person B: The fruit works okay. Trust me, any other person would understand it. 

Person A: Hmm, I don't know if they'll get it. 

Person B: Well, do you have any other ideas?

Person A: No, but we can think of something. 

Person B: I'm not going to think of anything anymore. If you want to keep changing it, then you come up with the ideas.

Person A: It doesn't work that way. We should come up with something better together. 

Person B: Well I came up with lots of ideas so far and you really haven't so...

Person A: Yeah, cause I think we have to do this together. 

Person B: Okay then so come up with an idea. 

Person A: It's not you come up with an idea or I do okay. The rules are that we both have to work, not one of us doing whatever they want.

Person B: Maybe that's because the other one isn't doing anything. 

Person A:  I told you that I was going to work on the writing with you and you did it by yourself without telling me. I could have helped you know. 

Person B: When I asked for you to help you didn't say anything.

Person A: Yes, I did. We have to do this together. Equal parts. 

Person B: But, I'm the only one even thinking about this. I'm the only one coming up with ideas that you just keep saying no to.  Why don't you write a list or something of all the things we can do. Or better yet, let me while you do nothing. 

Person A: You can't say I'm doing nothing when I'm the one who's trying to get us a good grade and you're the one who decided he's going to staple apples all over the poster over night without telling anybody!

Person B: Well, it's the only thing going for us right now. At least its better then the zero effort you put in!

Person A: Oh screw the fruit Eric!

 

Day 7

I missed two days but I had computer problems. So, I won't start from day one again. This will be day seven. 

Person A: Let's make another promise this year. 

Person B: Oh yeah, it was today last year that we made the last one. My birthday. 

Person A: A promise a year. 

Person B: (laughs). You're not very good at keeping them.

Person A: I know... But you're too good at keeping them. 

Person B: Hey, well what can I say?

Person A: This year, let's promise to...

Person B: To hook you up!

Person A: (laughs) No, to... let's make a promise that we can keep on our on this time, you know?

Person B: I kept last years promise on my own. 

Person A: Yeah well, there was no way that I could have kept last years promise. 

Person B: Thats what I thought at first but I kept it. Three times over!

Person A: You know what I mean, something that we can control ourselves. Not something fate decides. 

Person B: Fate? It wasn't fate, it was all planed out. We planned it out.

Person A: We were stupid. We can't plan that stuff out. 

Person B: So how are we going to make another promise?

Person A: Let's just promise that no matter what happens this year, we will try to be happy. 

Day 6

Person A: Gloria, you should have seen them. Soo big now, and the little one has got the longest hair. 

Person B: Ah yes, you told me. 

Person A: I don't know what their mother is feeding them. They are all-

Person B: Skin and bones, skin and bones.

Person A: Oh yes yes. Now with Dave working all day for them. The mother just sits at home, just sits. 

Person B: Sixteen hours.

Person A: Sixteen hours a day he works, my poor baby. 

Person B: An honorable man. 

Person A: Mhm honorable. I taught him well. I told, I told him...

Person B: When you get married, you need to provide for your family! He needs to provide for his family. 

Person A: Oh yes. I would not be here today if he didn't. I said, I said I was his family too. 

Person B: Thats right, his family too. They need to take care of their mothers when they grow up. No more-

Person A: No more us talking care of them. 

Person B: But his wife...
