George MacKay

I’m really not, I’m the lamest person that’s ever walked the earth, I accepted it already. It’s kinda part of my charm. And please, you’re seriously much cooler than me.

I can’t believe this. All my dreams of being friends with somebody as cool as you have been completely shattered now. I think you’ll find that the lamest person that’s ever walked the earth title actually belongs to me, sorry.

Right? such an rude thing to say about me, I like to think I can keep up with somethings and I can’t say I don’t know some newer music but, some of it at least is really out there. Nothing wrong with it, just not my taste. Most definitely the type of song that makes you want to get of your arse and dance n the best of ways, but also makes me want to listen to ‘ it’s not right, but it’s okay’ by her too! Got to appreciate the songs that get you grooving. Hm, those are good ones too, I think Bowie is awesome no matter what. but also like ‘ im still standing’ by Elton john is actually my jam. 

You like music because you think it’s good, not just because it’s popular. That’s admirable. Footloose and You Can’t Hurry Love are two other songs that always get me up on the dance floor. Ooooh, yes! An absolute banger. My favourite of Elton’s is probably Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting, but he’s got a lot of great tunes. 

I know what you mean. Its a bit confusing but yes, even though its the same, it seems that it goes faster or slower.

Realising it all has made me try my best to appreciate my time that little bit more. It might go by more quickly every year, but I’ll be damned if I let time get away from me. 

 Oh no, the stern paddingon stare….. what’s the stern paddington stare exactly? I was thinking something else, but I am curious now.

You don’t know what the stern Paddington stare is? Oh man, it’s the ultimate stare when somebody has forgotten their manners. You need to watch the movies - they’re the best. You were? Hmm, what were you thinking?

Thank you. We are all excited about meeting the little one.

I can imagine! I’d be a little worried if you guys weren’t excited!

Believe it or not, my mind does that lot.. the pain will subside hopefully. Exactly!! everyone is flawed in their own way and their is nothing wrong with it. it’s what makes us all human, the feelings, the pain and everything in between. I hate that people hate to be associated to it because of the ‘being normal ‘ thing? I think it’s pretty stupid… cause we all come different backgrounds.  you can’t put everyone in a box., it just doesn’t work that way. you and me both. i think being weird is a big compliment. the world basically, I  don’t know how else to say it I just the whole thing of  stories and movies, we all want that type of guy you want to think you can change… and he’s attractive, but then you know it’s never gong to work out but for that spilt while you want it to.. its like my brand I feel like, I get get guys that are assholes, and it gives me something to write about, like it’s weird to think about, bit almost like warning people or something.. I’m weird I know that I put myself through this all the damn time and I don’t change anything, I don’t help myself.  that’s why I always have heart break. yes hibiscus are beautiful and they just always look nice. haha, it would make be wonder, what would you have been commended for? like? I can imagine anything, so I’m always assume the latter some cool story, you went to like go save someone and froze into ice somehow, I don’t know. 

 It sounds like to me, I’m going to have to teach you to be able to stand up in them because it could be a big help to you! not at all, he loves any or all the attention that he can get from anyone.  familiar faces definitely help him when I am away for a bit..  Rightt? he’s extra cute, I love him so much. did you just call me puppy cute? haha  I don’t know how I feel about that, but thank you.  you know… you aren’t too bad looking yourself.. maybe pup worthy. 

Yeah? What was the last thing that made your mind explode? Maybe preventative measures are in order. I’m always instantly a little distrustful of people who appear to be totally perfect, because I know that they’re not. And it almost feels like deception when they give off that impression, you know? Ah, I see - I get what you mean. Romantic tales very often feature men that need a love interest to stop being assholes or just generally be better people. I’ve always disliked that sort of narrative - relationships aren’t about fixing people, they’re about already liking the way somebody is and wanting to go on a journey through life together. That’s not a bash at you, just to be clear. You’re completely not alone in your experience and how these weird ideals have encouraged you to venture down those paths. And you can’t help who you fall for - they aren’t always going to be good for you, or good people in general. Feelings are weird like that. Yes, that’s the narrative I want - to have gone to rescue a runaway pup maybe, and ended up trapped.

Please do! Make me not look like a baby giraffe taking their first steps. He gives off that vibe of loving love, so that makes sense. I... may have just called you puppy cute, and it was a compliment, so hopefully you don’t mind at all. Well thank you very much.

Oh, my brother raves about this show. I need to get started on it. 

It’s brilliant! Very funny, very informative, and it’s got Gillian Anderson in it. What’s not to love?

What you gonna do If I don’t call you Mr MacKay, George? punish me?

I’ll give you the stern Paddington stare. That’s about all I can do when it comes to punishment. I’m not very scary.

 Suppose we have that in common, though most of my friends are trying to pull me more into those newer music. they say I’m way too old school with music.  surely they are interesting from how much the music has changed from then. oh man who could ever forget about Whitney Houston’s song. generic you say?   guess that makes me generic, that and the police is on my playlist always. Space Oddity by David Bowie? that’s my favorite. 

How could they do such a thing! Some newer music isn’t so bad, I like a bit of variety, but I don’t want to limit myself to music made in the last decade when there’s so many decades of great music to listen to! I know, it always make me want to find somebody to dance with, which I guess is the very point of the song. Space Oddity is an unbelievably good song. Although if I had to pick a favourite Bowie, I’d have to pick two, and they would be Heroes and Young American.

Well, I would say a new baby is a good thing. So I hope it does go very well.

Wow, yes, a new baby is definitely a good thing! Congratulations, mate!

I can see what you mean about that. It does seem like time goes by so slowly back then. And then so much faster now.

Yeah, we always think of time as something that’s fixed. Which it is, I guess. But it’s still relative to our personal experiences. So weird.

 My mind exploded years ago, so it’s like no big deal to me for those constant feelings. I mean? I kind of love that quote, it works well because please you’ve got to have some weird thing about you… and it’s okay to be weird. i think I would be boring without it. dull in fact. how are you getting flowers with proposals and I’m just getting heartaches? this is fucked up, George! you are too sweet, you don’t really have to buy me flowers, but if you want to know my favorite flowers are hibiscus. righht? i think  you should just tell it as it is. I don’t want to live that life, it’s going to happen. I imagine you being stuck in ice would make all the tourist try to come visit you to see the man, the myth!

That’s amazing, you know  I don’t know how anyone does it on roller skating things but I give them credit for even trying! yeah it definitely has a way of helping me knowing Dexter will be taken care of, but my family is not even that far even in that case, so.. I guess I’m kind of lucky in that way. just so you know, if you don’t love him as much as I do.. we can’t be friends no more… I’m kidding, but here is a picture of us together. he looks so cute!

Wow, your mind exploding must’ve hurt, huh? Exactly, everybody I know well, I know there’s at least something weird they’ve got going on, but I don’t mind it because it makes them more human. I don’t know why we’ve got such a warped view of what we considered “normal”. It’s basically “do you fit this criteria that doesn’t benefit anybody, or are you weird”. I’ll take the weirdness, thanks. How are you only getting heartaches? This is an outrage! Hibiscus? A very good choice. So many varieties of that flower - you could have a whole garden full of them and it wouldn’t be repetitive, because they’d all look different. I hope the mythology surrounding me would be nice, and not that I was some monster condemned to the ice for some treachery. 

I can hardly even stay upright on roller skates most of the time, so I’d be a pile of limbs on the floor if I tried tap dancing in them! I imagine Dexter doesn’t mind all the extra attention he gets whilst you’re away, too. Look at that happy face of his - he’s so cuuuute! As is his owner.
