Is everything ok?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;c- Yeah, stuff's fine.  I hate my name being abbreviated though. Twats me right off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d- Me too.  Disrespectful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;c- Hmm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d - So, what's with the spunky face?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;c - Oh, that? Just some guy's spunk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d- What really? I was kinda joking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;c- Yeah, this guy Cohuna. I don't even fancy him, he just keeps spunking on&lt;br /&gt;my face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d- Oh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;c- I know, it's mental really.  I don't really like spunk all that much if I’m honest. Bit tiresome after a while.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d- Hmm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;c- I'm not sure I approve of the way I'm being portrayed in this conversation.  I sound a bit slutty.  I don't like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d- Well, you've got spunk on your face Clare, what can I do?  I can't just ignore that shit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;c- Yeah, but who says I got spunk on my face?  You're writing this, Danny, had you forgotten?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d- Clare, you're making this a little too fashionably post-modern for my liking. there's something awfully morbid about the whole thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;c- Oh lighten up Danny, you idiot.  Can't we just accept this neat literary trick and move the fuck on?  See, I've changed the tone by swearing.  I sound like a sweary person now. You know, tattoo, smokes, swears, wears hoop earrings and probably wonders what her parents would look like if they were given a hundred pounds and told to buy "glam".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gooch – What do you think is the quickest way to kill a chicken?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;c- Probably just strangle it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d- Wait, where did you come from?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;g- I was just crouching. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;g- Really low.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d- Oh ok. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;g-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d- Well why didn’t you talk to us before?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;g- I was.  You just weren’t listening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d- But you didn’t say anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;g- Ah, well not out loud, no.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;c- It bums being abbreviated huh? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;g- I quite like it.  g-.  I sound important.  Like a spy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;c- Shall we play a game?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;g- Let’s play twister.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d- No, no!  Gooch, you’d never suggest to play twister in real life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;g- Yes I would.  Let’s play twister. Are you saying this isn’t real life?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;c- Well, what is real?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d- Oh for Christ’s sake, don’t start that shit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;c- But when you think about it, nothing is “real” is it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d- Yes it is.  This is “real”-ly annoying me. This conversation.  It’s boring, dude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;c- I often wonder if I’ve seen a ghost. I sometimes look at myself in the mirror&lt;br /&gt;at night.  And it’s like a presence, you know? A presence, and I wonder, well is that real?  I mean it felt real.  But maybe it was just the nerves in my body moving or changing and just a chemical reaction, but I don’t know that.  It feels real to me, so surely that’s as real as can be.  Like a dream, a dream is real regardless of the fact that one day you have to wake up from your moment of unreality.  How amazing are dreams anyway….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d- I’m off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;g- Where?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d- To bed, it’s dead late, I’m tired and I've got to buy groceries tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;g- Bye then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;d- Bye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;c- See ya!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12489523-111465039823762639?l=forgetthings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://forgetthings.blogspot.com/feeds/111465039823762639/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12489523&amp;postID=111465039823762639' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12489523/posts/default/111465039823762639'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12489523/posts/default/111465039823762639'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forgetthings.blogspot.com/2005/04/clare-dan-and-gooch-chat.html' title='Clare, Dan and Gooch chat'/><author><name>RangyManatee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02179110871602352426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry></feed>
