1
So one of those random shitty moods again?
2
Yeah.
1
That sucks.
2
Yeah.
1
Any idea why, boredom like it usually is?
2
I don’t think so.
1
What then?
2
I have absolutely no idea.
1
It’s gotta be something.
2
I didn’t say it isn’t something necessarily.
1
Yeah you did.
2
I said I had no idea, doesn’t mean there isn’t something subconsciously or something.
1
True. (Beat.) Pretty much same thing though
2
I guess. It’s fucking weird either way though.
1
Yeah.
2
It was odd, just suddenly it hit out of nowhere. One moment I was fine, the next I suddenly felt like I was about to cry.
1
Did you?
2
No. I wish I did though.
1
I know what you mean.
2
I just feel like I’m on the border now and I just wish I could get it over with. It’s nice to cry once in a while to get stuff out.
1
Definetely. Then cry.
2
Doesn’t really work that way.
1
I dunno, just try to let go.
2
Already did. I even tried making myself cry, didn’t really work though.
1
That sucks.
2
Yeah.
(Pause.)
So what’s up with you?
1
Nothing really.
2
Nothing new?
1
Same as it ever was.
2
Yup.
(Blackout.)

It saddens me when you feel like this, partly because there's not really anything I can do about it. I hope you haven't been having so many of those moods lately; that was my impression at least.
hm...okay about what you said to me: I think you're def right...some of the things I need to tone down. But for some reason pretty much unknown to me, I'm keeping the bit about her sanity. At least for now. I'll probably end up taking your advice and changing it later...shrug...that's how I roll :P
about this one:
I see absolutely nothing to change. To me it just has that...click. Something pretty much everyone can relate to...it's basically the mirror of at least half a dozen conversations I've had with my sister.
