broken like me.

Because I’m not convincing. Like I said, I can barely lie. I think you need some ability at that to be a good actor.

 So how’d you do in theatre?

I have no idea how I should take that…

Good. 

I am sorry if I offended you, but I was just trying to help. I’d hope you’d do the same thing.

I mean, I would, but you’re kinda scary when you’re angry.

I’m not against the idea, but it’s not really my goal. I can barely lie; I don’t think I would make a good actress.

Why not?

I was in the military for almost five years.

Oh, respect dude.

I am sorry if I offended you, but I was just trying to help. I’d hope you’d do the same thing.

I’m a big boy, I can take it.

You should if multiple people have told you you’d be good at it!

Alrighty.

Well, yeah, I did musicals in the past, since that’s often all that you can do if you love performing music in high school. I wouldn’t mind doing those again in the future, but it’s just not my goal or really my scene in general.

I like cocktails. Normally I go for a Seabreeze. Vodka, cranberry juice, and grapefruit juice. It’s refreshing and still sweet. Like me.

I’ve been in musicals and stuff; just performing other stuff is a rush, even though I didn’t write any of it. It just can’t compare with the rush of making my own music there. 

Huh. I’ll remember that.

Really? Did you take their advice?

Not yet. 

You know I’m just saying this out of love, right? 

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Did the demolition site you lived in have a place to sleep, or did you just hunker down in the shovel part of a backhoe? I don’t know the technical term for it, sorry. My grip on the Moleman language is shit.

Not much, and definitely not Jack or scotch. I’m more into sweets myself.

Of course I would’ve preferred she didn’t, but it was definitely full of soul and anger and pain and release. Definitely the best album of 2017. I can agree with that. I don’t see the point of making something you don’t believe in. Maybe if you just want to sing, I guess it makes sense, but I want to do more than that. I want to create things, too.

Oh yeah? What's your poison?

Yep, it is. I’ve never had either, so no comment.

It’s true. The ones who stay in the history books and live on forever in that way are all people who stayed true to themselves. That’s what made good music - and what still makes good music. Yeah, exactly, and that’s the dream. I liked her early stuff, too, because it was art in its own, fun way, but this new album, especially after everything surrounding Dr. Luke surfaced…wow. It’s a masterpiece. I can’t imagine what it was like for her, from the trials to putting together that new album with all that raw emotion…I’d love to do something like that some day. Just put my whole self out there. I have no idea if that would even be entertaining or worth it, but it would be great.

Really? Don’t drink?
