I don’t want anyone to know about it. I don’t want anyone to remember it. I want it gone.

Probably not the best idea to bring up said clothes on a public site, then. I figured they were all long gone. But then again, you’re a pack rat 

Today I had to wash my clothes, which resulted in me trying on some of my old high school stuff. I could probably pull off the sweaters with certain crowds, but other than that, I am considering burning all of it. Mostly all the logos.

Don’t want everyone to know about your Fila sweatshirt habit? 

Yeah, I’m very consistent. Was tonight as eventful as the last, Madame DJ?

I mean I had a shift at the radio station, so it wasn’t too hype like the other night. And it also means getting back at a decent hour. The commute’s a pain in the ass, driving or on the train. 

Of course you are. And that somehow makes me okay with it.

Now that’s definitely like old times. You, just rolling with things. Another late night, then? 

Only you.

I’m pretty proud of that. 

It definitely is, around these parts at least.

Someone else giving you a hard time, or do I still hold the title? 

Now that’s just harsh, MJ.

Actually that’s par for the course.

I’m not riled up. Sure, there’s some side-eye happening but I’m not telling you to square up or anything. I just figured you’d have something better than short jokes. Feels cheap. 

You’re right. High Road Jones, that’s what they’ll call you.

You feel proud of yourself for that one? All of this is a mess. 

If you’re talking about the “little,” that was purely based on your physical status.

That’s even worse. I didn’t come here for wisecracks about my height. Not when I graciously left your big forehead out of the conversation. 

It’s unassuming as long as I keep up steady interaction with little ass nerds. That’d be you, by the way.

Bullshit. Don’t try to play me, or my nerd status. 

I’ve just spent too long studying this planet to flush it all down the toilet by being reckless.

Does your legion of Sam-inals know you’re still a big ass nerd? I’d hate to think I’m spilling top secret information. 

Or it was once. But there’s a lot I can do with aliens, so I’m gonna keep that in mind. I’ve effectively fooled humans into thinking I’m one of their kind already though, so for future reference this is all a joke. I’m joking.

Still is, so you do that.  ‘Joking’. Right...wink-wink, nudge. Gotta keep it 100 and human for the fans. I see how it is.
