marselinedion: noah

marselinedion: noah

noahiscool: marseline it's like 2 am

marselinedion: i'm sorry if i'm bothering you

noahiscool: i'm sleep deprived

noahiscool: but i'll live

noahiscool: what's wrong?

noahiscool: we don't usually talk at this early

marselinedion: i don't know

marselinedion: i can't sleep

marselinedion: and there's this ugly feeling inside my chest

marselinedion: this is all very weird i apologize

noahiscool: don't be sorry

noahiscool: how do I help?

marselinedion: i don't know i just sat on my bed for a while and figured talking to you might help so just be yourself

noahiscool: um

noahiscool: this is a very unspecific request you've bestowed upon

noahiscool: but um i'll try

marselinedion: it's appreciated

noahiscool: well today my mom signed me up for this local art program

noahiscool: and she was showing my sketches of some birds to this guy with an undercut

noahiscool: and you wanna know what he said?

noahiscool: these are bird-tacular

noahiscool: instantaneously, regret poured from the capillaries of my veins

marselinedion: you do know i'm laughing right

marselinedion: genuine tears are running down my face

marselinedion: thank you

noahiscool: you're absolutely welcome

...

marselinedion: what do you want to do with your life noah?

marselinedion: like when you're older and stuff

marselinedion: i worry about those kind of things a lot

noahiscool: well I would love to be an artist of some sort

noahiscool: probably a poor starving artist

noahiscool: but an artist all the same

noahiscool: it's kind of farfetched dream

noahiscool: how about you?

marselinedion: well I the thing is I don't really have a passion

marselinedion: I mean love piano and all that but I don't think I could devote my whole life to it

marselinedion: which scares me immensely

noahiscool: you'll find something I promise

noahiscool: maybe you'll walk down a street and see a man balancing five fruits in one hand and think to yourself' "man, I want to do that."

noahiscool: or something

marselinedion: i hope so

marselinedion: even if my calling is to fruit

noahiscool: if it is I'll support you 100%

marselinedion: during all of this I've been laughing and crying by the way

noahiscool: I hope I induced the laughing part

marselinedion: you did, thank you

noahiscool: orange you glad? :-)

marselinedion: if you keep making me laugh like an insane person at this ungodly hour I'll probably pass out

marselinedion: i'm going to try to go to sleep

marselinedion: good night, don't let the bed bugs bite

noahiscool: good night marsey
