nosaint has just logged off.

 

GoodGuy248: I hope she works things out with him...

for his sake if not hers.

 

LonelyGirl61: LOL! For his sake???

 

GoodGuy248: You have no idea of what can happen whenparents and children fight...

 

LonelyGirl61: You sound like you've had experience

with that.

 

GoodGuy248: Too much experience...

 

LonelyGirl61: So, are you the parent, or the child, in that situation.

 

LonelyGirl61: Hello?

 

GoodGuy248: Child, I guess.

 

LonelyGirl61: You guess? How old are you? You sound awfully mature.

 

GoodGuy248: Mature...that's another word for old,

right?

 

LonelyGirl61: You tell me! I haven't...started a

conversation with some thirty-year old guy, have I?

 

GoodGuy248:Um...no. Not exactly.

 

Lonely Girl61: Well, that's a relief. You're not a

pervert, are you?

 

GoodGuy248: No. I am not a...pervert.

 

GoodGuy248: Believe me.

 

GoodGuy248: I'm far from it.

 

LonelyGirl61: Ok! Ok! I believe you! So if you're

not a pervert, what are you doing online???

 

GoodGuy248: Good question...

 

LonelyGirl61: It was a joke

 

GoodGuy248: So was mine.

 

LonelyGirl61: Oh

 

GoodGuy248: So you really haven't seen your father

in two and a half years?

 

LonelyGirl61: Nope

 

GoodGuy248: What happened? If you don't mind me

asking,

 

LonelyGirl61: No, I don't mind. Um, when I was

living at home, I got into some...trouble

 

GoodGuy248: Trouble?

 

LonelyGirl61: Carnal trouble, if you know what I

mean

 

GoodGuy248: Oh.

 

LonelyGirl61: And, well, Daddy didn't much like

coming home after work and finding his pride in joy in the throes of passion with some juvenile

delinquent in his own bed

 

GoodGuy248: Ouch.

 

LonelyGirl61: Yeah, no kidding

 

GoodGuy248: What did he do?

 

LonelyGirl61: Shipped me off to live with my god

fearing grandmother

 

GoodGuy248: Well, that's always a good way to handle things...

 

LonelyGirl61: It worked out for the best though. My parents never really cared about me

 

GoodGuy248: All parents care for their children.

 

LonelyGirl61: There you go again! No wonder no

saints got pissed off at you! LOL

 

GoodGuy248: I didn't mean to piss her off.

 

LonelyGirl61: She seemed pretty pissed off to begin with before you came along

 

GoodGuy248: That's too bad. I've seen too many

families torn apart by...hate.

 

GoodGuy248: I hope she can get passed it.

 

LonelyGirl61: What happened between you and your

father?

 

LonelyGirl61: Hello???

 

LonelyGirl61: You there???

 

GoodGuy248: Yeah, sorry. I'm still here.

 

LonelyGirl61: You don't have to answer if you don't want to

 

GoodGuy248: It's just a tough answer to admit.

 

LonelyGirl61: Was he always on you about stuff?

 

GoodGuy248: You could say that...

 

LonelyGirl61: I know the feeling

 

GoodGuy248: Things ended...badly between us. I wish I could go back and change it.

 

GoodGuy248: I wish I could go back and change a lot of things.

 

LonleyGirl61: Have you talked to him about the way

you feel?

 

GoodGuy248: I never had the chance.

 

LonelyGirl61: Its never too late, so I've heard

 

GoodGuy248: A lot of things are too late.

 

LonelyGirl61: UH OH! You sound like a "wallower"

 

GoodGuy248: Um...you figured out my secret.

 

LonelyGirl61: Things can't be that bad!

 

GoodGuy248: You're right! Things could be a lot

worse!

 

GoodGuy248: Things have.

 

LonelyGirl61: You should talk to your dad.

 

GoodGuy248: I can't. He's dead.

 

LonelyGirl61: I'm sorry.

 

LonelyGirl61: How long?

 

GoodGuy248: A long, long time.

 

LonelyGirl61: I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to

bring it up

 

GoodGuy248: Don't be sorry. It's fine.

 

LonelyGirl61: Have you dealt with it?

 

GoodGuy248: I've spent my whole life dealing with

it, and then some.

 

LonelyGirl61: You're talking like you're old again!

 

GoodGuy248: I am pretty old, I have to admit.

 

LonelyGirl61: But do you look old! That's the

question, ;)

 

GoodGuy248: No, not really,

 

LonelyGirl61: How old do you look?

 

GoodGuy248: Not a day over 18.

 

GoodGuy248: Though lately I've been passing for

late-twenties, I don't know why.

 

LonelyGirl61: LOL! OOh, do I sense some ego there??? Or an issue with getting old!

 

GoodGuy248: Um...yeah, hehe, you caught me.

 

LonelyGirl61: Well, which is it?

 

GoodGuy248: The age thing...(and, ok, a little ego.)

 

LonelyGirl61: TYPICAL!

 

GoodGuy248: Hey! I'm *not* typical...not by a long

shot!

 

LonelyGirl61: Self assurance, I like that.

 

GoodGuy248: ...Its taken me a long time to get this self assure.

 

LonelyGirl61: I know the plight!

 

LonelyGirl61: So you're what, 18? 19? 20???

 

GoodGuy248: Physically...yes.

 

LonelyGirl61: Physically???

 

LonelyGirl61: What are you saying, you've got the

bod of a 20 year old and the mind of a senior

citizen???

 

GoodGuy248: I am NOT a senior citizen!

 

LonelyGirl61: I've never met a guy so obsessed with thier age.

 

GoodGuy248: I'm not obsessed, really!

 

LonelyGirl61: LOL

 

GoodGuy61: I'm not.

 

LonelyGirl61: Do you soak your teeth!

 

GoodGuy61: Um, no, these teeth are mine.

 

LonelyGirl61: Do you wear depends???

 

GoodGuy248: I'm running away now...

 

LonleyGirl61: Sorry! J/k I'll let it drop! I swear!

 

LonelyGirl61: Sorry. Do you forgive me?

 

GoodGuy248: For something like that? Yeah...I guess.

 

LonelyGirl61: Hey!

 

GoodGuy248: I forgive you! I forgive you!

 

LonelyGirl61: I wont bring up the age thing again.

 

GoodGuy248: (whew)

 

LonelyGirl61: You act like you're some hundred year old vampire or something.

 

GoodGuy248: That observation is closer than you

could possibly get.

 

LonleyGirl61: Oh yeah right! You're a vampire, and

I'm a cheerleader! ...nevermind

 

GoodGuy248: You're a cheerleader???

 

LonelyGirl61: Not anymore...I was...for a short...

very short!...time.

 

GoodGuy248: I like cheerleaders.

 

LonelyGirl61: Most guys do, and I bet you like

blondes too!

 

GoodGuy248: Doesn't everybody??? j/k So, you're not a cheerleader anymore?

 

LonelyGirl61: I barely got out of it with my life!

 

GoodGuy248: You're not the first girl that I've comeacross that's said that...

 

LonelyGirl61: It was awful. Horrible. The worst

experience of my life! Well, not literally...

 

GoodGuy248: Did you have an issue with the pom-poms,or...

 

LonelyGirl61: Ok, now you've taken it too far!

 

GoodGuy248: JUST KIDDING! I'm sorry! Really!

 

LonelyGirl61: It's...ok

 

GoodGuy248: Nearly spent eternity with a blonde...

 

LonelyGirl61: HEY!

 

GoodGuy248: J/k!

 

GoodGuy248: Now I'm the one begging for forgiveness (story of my life)

 

LonelyGirl: It's ok. I wont make you beg. Not much...

 

GoodGuy248: Why can't I be around people with as

good a sense of humor as you?

 

GoodGuy248: Oh yeah, because I'm always surrounded

by bad guys.

 

LonelyGirl61: Bad guys? What are you, some kind of

cop?

 

GoodGuy: Sort of.

 

LonelyGirl61: What do you do for a living?

 

GoodGuy248: I help people.

 

LonelyGirl61: Oh, well, isn't that a dandy career!

 

LonelyGirl61: What are you, a boy scout?

 

GoodGuy248: LOL! No, I'm no boy scout.

 

LonelyGirl61: Hmn...likes to help people but has a

shady past with family issues. Sounds like my kinda guy.

 

GoodGuy248: I'm no ones kind of guy.

 

LonelyGirl61: But you're a "good" guy!

 

GoodGuy248: And you're a "lonely" girl, whats the

story with that?

 

LonelyGirl61: Ah, the tables have turned

 

GoodGuy248: Oh, yeah.

 

LonelyGirl61: I don't know.

 

GoodGuy248: Why are you so lonely? You seem like a

nice person,

 

LonelyGirl61: Sometimes I wonder!

 

GoodGuy248: You doubt that?

 

LonelyGirl61: I've done some things in my life that I'm not exactly proud of,

 

GoodGuy248: We all have.

 

LonelyGirl61: I've made some really bad decisions

and I've hurt some people.

 

GoodGuy248: You'll never hurt anyone as much as you hurt yourself.

 

LonelyGirl61: Now that was wise.

 

GoodGuy248: What can I say...its a curse. Go on.

 

LonelyGirl61: I don't know. There's not one instancein particular that I'd care to mention, but

 

LonelyGirl61: I've messed up. And now I am trying tomake ammends.

 

GoodGuy248: I think that's how life works.

 

LonelyGirl61: Wow, you really are wise.

 

GoodGuy248: Thanks, I think.

 

LonelyGirl61: I mean it. How have you gotten to

understand so much???

 

GoodGuy248: Time to think, is all. Lots and lots of time.

 

LonelyGirl61: The suns coming up, I've got to get

ready for school. Got to graduate, you know.

 

GoodGuy248: The sun? What timezone are you in?

 

LonelyGirl61: Eastern. You?

 

GoodGuy248: Pacific.

 

LonelyGirl61: You've still got some time then. Maybeyou should go to sleep.

 

GoodGuy248: I rarely sleep, especially at night.

 

LonelyGirl61: You do sound like a vampire.

 

GoodGuy248: Have a good day.

 

LonelyGirl61: Thank you.

 

GoodGuy248: No problem.

 

LonelyGirl61: You have a good...night?
