You've reached the voicemail feature for Justin Hammer. I apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused by being unable to answer your call, but I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you, and have a good day.

I'm not that much better, so we'll figure it out together, yeah?

[manofiron]

It's okay. You don't have to. It's my responsibility to figure it out, I'm not saddling you with it.

[therealgenius]

Remember what you said the first night came over? That it was about us enjoying ourselves?

It's not all on you. It's about us. Don't leave me out of the equation.

[manofiron]

Do you want to talk about it? Do you need to--I don't know. If you need me to do something, I will.

[therealgenius]

Can we talk about it personally? I mean, face-to-face. Actually talk. Or would that make you more uncomfortable?

After dinner or whatever.

[manofiron]

No, that's fine. We can actually talk.

[therealgenius]

(｡･ω･｡)

Look at it, so excited. It's supposed to be a bear.

These things are ridiculously addicting, btw.

[manofiron]

Uo･ｪ･oU

That's supposed to be a dog.

And a cat. (=^･ｪ･^=)

[therealgenius]

We are totally Station with the Japanese emoticons, dude!

Yeah, so, little bear dude's excited, I'm excited, we'll have a good time. I promise.

[manofiron]

Are you Bill or Ted?

I'll try to figure out how to make potatoes and whatever else goes with steak. Corn, maybe. That goes with everything, right?

[therealgenius]

Well, the pig was Ted because Keanu and Al Pacino and jowls. Theoretically, I'd prefer to be Napoleon, simply because he got that massive bowl of ice cream out of it all.

You know what? I'll send you a recipe for potato salad that my mom's always made. Detail it really well. Would you like that?

[manofiron]

You want to be Napoleon, be Napoleon. I'll be Rufus.

Yeah, I'd like that. I could probably handle that, too.

[therealgenius]

George Carlin had some pretty good philosophies on life. Have you looked into him? You should. Cool dude all around.

All right! I'll write it up and send it before I go to bed.

[manofiron]

Not as much as I probably should have. But that can be rectified.

Okay. I'll go to the store tomorrow to get some stuff so I can start practicing with it.

Enjoy it, when you do. Quite an interesting guy.

I'd say that's more than great...that's eggcellent.

[therealgenius]

Because all good potato salads have eggs.

And if you say "egg salad" it kind of sounds like "excellent"

that was a bust, wasn't it

[manofiron]

No, it was good. It was a good pun.

It doesn't even really lose anything in text form, because it still kind of looks like "excellent."

[therealgenius]

You're too kind.

I'm more math and science, of course, but wordplay has always kind of tickled me more than anything. Probably because you have to use words to make math jokes make actual sense for most people.

[manofiron]

At least you bother trying to explain it. Usually I just chalk people up as too stupid and give up.

[therealgenius]

Well...there's a difference between someone who wants to comprehend but isn't able to, someone who's still learning, and someone who's just too stupid. I try to keep that in mind whenever I come across someone I have to explain something to.

[manofiron]

That's because you have more patience than me. For me, that only works if I have a vested interest in the person I'm trying to explain it too. Otherwise I just get frustrated.

[therealgenius]

[vested interest = hot person? justin believes it]

It's what happens when you're too smart for anyone's good.

[manofiron]

[ That used to be how it worked. ]

Which isn't all that it's cracked up to be, let me tell you.

[therealgenius]

You've got the experience, so I'll just defer to you on that.

Anyway, I'm going to type up this recipe and make a private home movie folder and maybe, you know, have another viewing and then head to bed. So see you this weekend?

[manofiron]

Okay. See you this weekend.

Goodnight and sleep well.
