More boring history class.

I am going to put a random thought of the day on each chapter now, okay?

Here's today's: sometimes I wish I were a boy just so I could cross-dress.

HJefferson: Kitten, are you there?

JoJefferson: Auto-Reply: I am not here right now, but I will be back asap. If it's urgent, call my cell. If not, leave a message here.

HJefferson: I guess not. Well. I just called you at the office, and they said you're stage-managing.

HJefferson: you mother says that the unwed mothers in Harlem need your legal help too.

HJefferson: Anyhow, calls Daisy for our itinerary, or Alfred at Palm Ridge. We'll be at the spa over New Years.

HJefferson: Unless the senator changes his mind.

HJefferson: Oh, yes kitten. Mummy's confirmation hearings are on the 10th. We'll need you – alone – by the 6th.

HJefferson: she's already nervous.

HJefferson: ad, please, kitten. No Doc Martens this time. And wear a dress.

HJefferson: have a merry Christmas!

HJefferson: oh your mother wants to say something.

HJefferson: I am NOT nervous. I just wanted to remind you to wear a bra. Happy holidays!

CameraMan: who?

- SweetLittleAngel had joined the chat –

ActualReality: Meet Angel Dumott-Shunard!

SweetLittleAngel: Hi, boys!

WellHungarian: who are you?

ActualReality: I got mugged, and she helped me out.

ActualReality: she's the reason I can afford your food, so be nice.

ActualReality: and her street drumming's not bad either ;)

CameraMan: you earned all this $$ on the street?

SweetLittleAngel: I got lucky on Ave A today. A lady in a limo drove by me, and asked me to drum until a dog named Evita stopped barking… permanently. I got $1,000 off of it, so I felt like spreading it around. Today 4 u, tomorrow 4 me.

WellHungarian: Then how'd you meet Collins?

SweetLittleAngel: I got back onto Ave A, and I heard him coughing. I couldn't just leave him there, so I patched him up. Then he brought me here to meet you!

CameraMan: sweet!

WellHungarian: grr! Benny's IMing me again.

ActualReality: put him in here.

BenCoffIII: all these stupid lazy-ass bums keep trying to steal my stuff!

CameraMan: maybe if you treated them like people they would stop.

CameraMan: that attitude towards the homeless is what maureen's protesting, after all.

BenCoffIII: Maureen is protesting about looking her stage… not me personally.

WellHungarian: what happened to you, man? You used to have morals and ideas, and now…

BenCoffIII: now I have money and I can do whatever I want with that lot next door.

ActualReality: now wont that make a homeless person's Xmas? Evicting them? Happy b-day, Jesus.

BenCoffIII: I'm still waiting for the rent!

WellHungarian: you're wasting you time

CameraMan: we're broke!

CameraMan: And you broke your word – this is absurd.

BenCoffIII: there is one way you won't have to pay

WellHungarian: I knew it.

BenCoffIII: I'm gonna build a CyberArts studio next door. You all can stay there for free… for a favor, actually.

WellHungarian: what?

BennCoffIII: uhmm… stop the protest.

CameraMan: why don't you get the cops to do that?

BenCoffIII: I did; they're on standby. But my investor would rather I do this quietly.

WellHungarian: you cant quietly wipe out an entire tent city!

BenCoffIII: you still want to produce films and write songs? Here's the place! It was your dream… give it a chance!

BenCoffIII: you'll see… it'll be great.

BenCoffIII: remember… cancel the protest or pack.

- BenCoffIII had logged off –

SweetLittleAngel: he could use some prozac.

WellHungarian: or heavy drugs. Lol.

CameraMan: or group hugs…

ActualReality: oh, yea. I forgot. We have a chatroom to go to? Wanna come?

SweetLittleAngel: Life Support is for people coping with life. You don't have to stay too long.

CameraMan: first I gotta save the protest.

ActualReality: so you're not gonna stop it?

CameraMan: no.

SweetLittleAngel: Roger?

WellHungarian: I'm not much company.

CameraMan: -kicks roger- ROGER!

SweetLittleAngel: it's okay, he'll catch up later.

SweetLittleAngel: you'll see, boys.

WellHungarian: just leave me alone, okay, boys?

ActualReality: I like boys

CameraMan: we know.

SweetLittleAngel: Boys like me?

ActualReality: we'll see ;)

WellHungarian: in your jewish words… oy.

CameraMan: Collins and Angel? I know.

Heh. Sorry bout that last bit with Mark and Roger… it just always seemed awkward to me for them not to comment on it. So I made them comment on it. I know it wasn't in the play, but hey. Artistic license and all that.
