Listen, I don't have much time to sit here and talk to you. Finals are coming up, and I have to study.
...
...
Will you stop laughing like a hyena for just a minute? Please? I just wanted to check in - to talk to you... This last week has been really interesting... I went outside my comfort zone so m-
Oh for the love of Odin!
What is wrong with you?
What? You were afraid I'd forgotten about you? I would never, in a million years, just lose touch with you, just like that. If it ever comes down to that. we'll have a nice long chat... I'll have a cup of tea, you'll have a beer... two... three? Four beers? As it stands now, you cannot handle four beers; we both know that. You'd pass out. Or die...
Oh...
Hey, let's not think about that now, OK? Please stop crying. It's not even something I'm considering, right now.
For now, I'm just trying to figure out ways to reconcile your dreams and aspirations with the ones that I've assimilated over the years.
I can assure you, both having enough brain cells at the end of the day to think outside the box for a few hours and having a good career that will provide enough money to get you through old age are perfectly sensible aspirations. But I have to figure out a way to do both. And that's not easy in this day and age. Something's got to give...
And this damned Social Sciences degree is not the best first step towards the job of our dreams.
Yeah. Saving the World does sound nice. But there's so much wrong with the World, where would we start? And also, will you be the leader? Because I'm clearly a follower, if I can't be a lone wolf.
You really think I could lead anyone?
Oh, you could lead people... That makes sense... Well, let me know if you get any good ideas; we'll start from there.
In the meantime, tell me about that tattoo you were thinking about.
"My fear is a lie"... Sounds really appropriate, to me. I may actually be OK with getting that tattoo...
Really.
Isn't that a song lyric?
Oh I thought it sounded familiar.
I'm not really sure where it would be best to get it. If we do this, it has to be discreet; I have to keep my career options open. But, at the same time, we'll have to be able to see it anytime we want. It's our tattoo, at the end of the day. We're getting it to inspire ourselves, right?
I wonder what people would think about this tattoo... If only there was a way for others to let us know what's on their mind...
Oh you're right! We do have a comment section!
Neah... I'm sure nobody cares enough to tell us what they think...
Or do they?
I suppose we'll just have to wait and see. I really have to go.
Talk to you next week, okay?
Take care!
