Dave & Bro: Hiraeth (Welsh), A Homesickness Tinged With Grief Or Sadness Over The Lost Or Departed
turntechGodhead [TG] began pestering ectoBiologist [EB]
TG: hey dude
-ectoBiologist [EB] is an idle chum! -
TG: wow yeah what a shock i remain astonished that a goddamn chat client cant penetrate the mysterious void between this meteor and wherever you and jade took off to
TG: just as astonished as ive been for the last two fucking years
TG: anyways
TG: i was just thinking about home again and i thought id actually talk to you instead of sitting alone and brooding or whatever
TG: if im not careful ill turn into one of those guys that writes bad emo poetry
TG: hang on
TG: this poem is written in black because that is the color of my heart
TG: much more lame than writing ironically bad rap
TG: yeah but i was thinking about bro and everything
TG: i know ive told you about all the smuppets
TG: but man the more i think about it my childhood was weird as shit
TG: the goddamn smuppets were the least of it
TG: like you know id go out to school on weekdays and that was pretty much it except for the rooftop strifing
TG: but im pretty sure that i left the apartment more than he did
TG: groceries mysteriously appeared but fuck if i know when he did that
TG: he was either lounging around and being a dick about taking up whatever part of the apartment i wanted to use
TG: or he was locked up in his bedroom and all the powers of heaven and hell wouldnt be able to save me if i opened that door
TG: i did once actually
TG: i was young and dumb as SHIT
TG: but hed been showing me how to pick locks and i thought it would be really funny if i busted into his room and snuck up on him when he wasnt expecting it
TG: actually
TG: you
TG: that was your fault
TG: you wouldnt shut the fuck up about pranking and pranksters gambits and shit and i thought id try it out and impress you with my mad pranking skills
TG: and then i never told you because it went so disastrously wrong
TG: as soon as i busted open the door he was right there and he was fucking furious
TG: i caught a glimpse of a camera setup and more smuppets than mortal eye was meant to behold
TG: and then i was hustled right the fuck out and thats probably one of the only times he sat me down and really laid down the law instead of spewing his usual ironic bullshit
TG: …
TG: you know i think my bro may have been running a porn site out of his bedroom
TG: huh
TG: but at the time anyways he told me that hed explain when i was grown up if i still wanted to know
TG: and that for now his bedroom was off limits and just to cut off any ironic civil disobedience i was grounded for a month
TG: i thought that wouldnt make any difference since i didnt go out except for school
TG: but yeah that meant taking away all my electronics and leaving me with his ironic shitty pda
TG: it was literally the first generation capable of connecting to the internet
TG: for an entire goddamn MONTH
TG: and at the time i kind of resented it you know
TG: because i was basically grown up already and what the fuck was he trying to accomplish
TG: but that was a whole year before sburb
TG: do you think that if wed been adults when we played the game it would have gone differently
TG: because fuck
TG: thirteen
TG: we were babies
TG: even fifteen isnt really impressing me that much
TG: i spend most days filled with existential horror and wondering how the hell were going to accomplish anything
TG: i mean yeah whatever fucking up is what childhood is for i guess
TG: but we never realized what kind of stakes we were playing for until it was too late
TG: fuck why was i worrying about an emo poetry phase
TG: ive clearly already hit it
TG: imagine ive inserted some pictures of rain or ravens or whatever
TG: id talk about roses and thorns but theres no way that wont sound like innuendo about the actual human rose
TG: i wonder if i can combine my talents and write some emo rap
TG: mix up some sick beats that sound like crying
TG: itd be fucking beautiful
- ectoBiologist [EB] is an idle chum! -
TG: yeah its always good talking to you too
TG: well
TG: this conversation has been sufficiently humiliating
TG: i think ill cut this off now
TG: maybe if i bury you under enough one sided meandering conversations youll never make it back through them far enough to read the horribly embarrassing shit like this
TG: i guess ill probably talk to you tomorrow then
turntechGodhead [TG] ceased pestering ectoBiologist [EB]
