Sweet Caroline

Sometimes I wonder if animals could really talk? What if we weren’t there, the animals just start talking to each other and when we come they don’t talk what so ever, they just make their animals noises. Just like Rugrats.

You have no idea how many times I thought about that exact thing when I was little. I was convinced my dog could talk, he just didn't want to show me... and I was pretty distraught for a solid week that my dog didn't trust me enough to talk. 

That’s true. I don’t think I’d be able to handle actual heartbreak, though, considering the last time I came close to something like that I drove myself more crazy than she did; not to mention I got totally smashed. I think I’m more of a danger to myself than anyone else could be, to be honest.

Aw, Emmit... I'm sorry. Everyone has their own way of dealing with things, but you know you can always come to me. I'd share my Ben & Jerrys and watch super weird documentaries on Netflix to forget about everything else. 

Someone would have to knock me out for me to get anywhere near a tattoo place. No, that's really sweet! It's always best to go for something meaningful so you don't regret it later.

You're braver than I am. What are you thinking about getting?

Where do Volkswagens go when they get old?

Oh! I know this one! The old folks... uh, I mean volks home! Right? 

I really wanna have one of those cliche date nights that are in those romantic comedies. Like, I dunno, they seem like fun. Just eating and having a good time with an interesting, attractive guy.

Those are honestly the best dates. I think the simple ones leave more for people to connect with. If a date is over the top, you get distracted by it and then when you're ready for another date... you're expecting a grand gesture. 

Has it happened before? I can’t picture you anyway but the lovely, happy person you are right now.

Heartbreak? More than once. There was one time where I spent like, a week in bed eating Ben & Jerry's. That may or may not be my normal Friday night routine now... but still. I think everyone has their way of coping though.

Were you rocking the sports bra and tiny shorts look?

Maybe, maybe not.

I’d rather it be my face than yours. I don’t like when you get hurt…even if it is a little funny.

Aw... well, I survived. I think I'm going to stick to listening to music when I'm running alone from now on though.

I think anything would work, I mean blue could work considering blue is the hottest fire and all that jazz, ya know? I’m prepared for this sidekick outfit, I’ll wear it and everything when needed. Ah, the million dollar question to some people. I haven’t quite decided yet, ya know? I do take some law like classes in case I decide that I want to be a private-practice lawyer, but I’m also not sure if I want to be an archivist or curator, ya know? I guess it’s just a good precaution. 

Oh, perfect! Blue and white. Don't take that mask off in public. I mean aside from the fact people would know who was wearing the tights... they'd also know who to go take out. I think the tights thing might be more devastating. I know, I get it all the time. I've even been told to change to something new... that I won't make any money. I think people forget along the way that some things aren't worth doing if you don't enjoy it. I'm taking the curator track. 

I’m a little upset you went running without me.

Well think about it like this, if you went with me, it could have been your face making contact with that dang fence.

Do you want me to kiss you better?

I brushed myself off and limped home, thank you. That statue looks a lot worse than I do. 

That would probably look nice, I look nice in everything other than orange. That would be pretty cool, I’ve always liked the flash. Exactly, it was the only subject that ever made any sense to me; which could explain why History is my major.

Something tells me blue would be more of your color... red will work though, I think. You just wait. There's going to be a sidekick outfit complete with a mask and leggings. I would ask you what you plan on doing with a history degree but I personally hate getting that question myself so I won't. 

Oh, sure... sure. Your fiancee crashes into a statue... possibly injured. Maybe limping across campus. Crawling even... and you laugh. I feel the love, babe.
