Homestuck Therapy Chapter 21: Totally Unrelated Bullshit, a homestuck fanfic

This chapter has barely anything to do with Homestuck at all! You have my permission to skip this chapter, unless you're interested in our silly verdicts on random things like the new Kingdom Hearts game and the Japanese music video for Lucifer, or our analyses of characters based on horoscopes. Most of these links are from youtube. Whatever isn't probably came from some astrology website. Uhh, I mentioned DeliriousBiznasty on Youtube. If you're into Homestuck mashups, he does those (mostly with Eminem, but there are some others) so go check him out. There's also a link to a different person on Youtube who does mashups that are less rap, but I can't remember who that was. Other random shenanigans are here too. (I love Yahoo! Answers. I am a fucking guru on there!) What else... I like doing misheard lyrics for K-Pop songs! So that might explain some of the conversation later... Anyway. Skip if you don't give a shit about anything beyond our Homestuck analyses! The next chapter gets back on track.

...Why the hell do I even share this on here? I'm so mental.

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:DDDDDDDDD

I have mixed feelings. I love the new characters and the fact that HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME is finally in it! But it also seems a bit cheesy, bringing in cliché-sounding elements like "The Key of Dreams" and the new foes, Dream Eaters. And I think it's a game within a game. But I'm very interested in the new character, Neku!

KALYN

Gameplay looks like the type I'm not fond of as well, but I would gladly watch someone else play it! Also I think it might just be for smaller consoles right now, judging on the gameplay and the quality of the cutscenes.

JESSICA

yeah, i think it's supposed to be for the 3DS, maybe? I don't know. James mentioned one of them being sort of like Namine messed something up? So I don't know. We'll just have to see!

Yeah, definitely 3DS, at least that version. It's got the A and X command buttons (which is for Nintendo systems), you can rub that adorable(! Oh so cute! X3) Dream Eater's belly, and then I'm pretty sure that one part with the bat was supposed to simulate the 3D-ness it will have.

JESSICA

By the way, Riku's hair? I do not like...

KALYN

Meh. I don't mind it.

KALYN

Good news: Got 50 blank CDs, so I'm burning Homestuck albums. I have them all done (the albums I already had), so now they can get off my computer and make room for the ones I don't yet have!

Oh, and I botched the first one, so 49 useful blank CDs.

JESSICA

Heheheheh

I'm a vampire! I'm a vampire! (Hoo-aaaah) I'm a vampire! Let's cut the chit chat. Boner, b-b-boner.

JESSICA

gehehehehe

It's not me! It's spam! Whenever you see it, just report it or something.

That's what I've been doing, and most of all, don't click on the link.

KALYN

Yeah, I clicked on it the first time. Like a moron.

Hopefully it's not gonna kill my computer. That would suck.

I've begun to put together our amazing misheard lyrics video. It's finished up to "Hey Joe!" which isn't that far in the song, but it's quite amazing and beautiful.

I'm pretty darn good at finding good clips

JESSICA

You shouldn't kill it, it hasn't killed mine, it's just a nuisance. Unless it is just sitting and waiting until the perfect time, at which point your computer will explode, literally.

KALYN

...Literally?...great...

At least I can feel empathetic to Karkat, which would be kind of awesome.

But...I also would be empathetic to Eridan, which is less awesome.

JESSICA

hahaha

KALYN

So...you know how I'm putting together the clips and stuff for our video? It's gonna be a mystery what clips I'll be able to use for the lines: When I'm tired, I go to borrow a bra / The money had a nut, it's in that bowl

That's where I am right now. I have some plans for after that though. And we still need to come up with some lyrics for the chorus. I think I can do that later this week.

I might come up with something obscure though. I got a clip from Disney's Robin Hood for "The church on a good day ain't got much" and PotC: Dead Man's Chest for "Key's gonna open, the money diamond had been" which was a bit obscure, but it got the point across.

And then He-Man of course at some point, but he was actually in the lyrics, so.

Similarly, Took is already in it and Grimmjow will be later on. And maybe Baby Triggy for "Triggadigg". I could make it like "Trigg, ya dig?" or someshit.

KALYN

how long have you been on?

JESSICA

a little bit

not that long

KALYN

Been goofing off on Yahoo answers

JESSICA

oooh

KALYN

Lemme send you my favorite answer from tonight:

JESSICA

...

this is taking a while .

KALYN

sorry I had to find it

here is the question: I need some conflict in my story . I'm stuck. ( 10th grade English) any topic. So far I have that me and some friends are in Vegas staying in the Luxor hotel and the desk lady gave us the wrong room key and gave us the key to the room that Chris angel lives in. And Chris angel gets really mad and my friend Zach argued with him so Chris angel made him disappear .'. Now I'm stuck. Ideas please?

JESSICA

so, anyway, while you're getting on that, I've decided to do national novel writing month

KALYN

Here is my answer: So then you beg Chris Angel to make Zach reappear, but he won't do it unless you find him five orphans to be his magical assistants. So you go to a foster home to try to adopt some kids, but the home won't release any children to you unless you have the proper paperwork. Luckily, another friend of yours knows a guy who knows a guy who can make some very convincing counterfeit paperwork for you! So you head into a dingy side street to his rundown hole-in-the-wall headquarters to ask him for a favor. He agrees, but only if you do him a personal favor in return. He has been dying to ask out [celebrity of choice] and knows that he/she happens to be staying in CircusCircus, but he can't get into the VIP room of the casino! He asks you to bring said celebrity to him. So you concoct a plan to get into the VIP room of the casino, involving disguises to make one (or more) of you look like Christopher Walken! (or a different celebrity of your choice.) Because one of you is great at impressions! You manage to get in and talk to the celebrity. They won't come with you just for some fan, so you tell him/her that you need them for a charity event for sick orphans who want their autograph! But they can't bring any publicity. Because of the kids. They wouldn't want to be seen, because of their hideous sickness. They are moved by your story and agree to sneak away to see the orphans, and are surprised to be brought to a counterfeit document maker instead! But they still trust your judgment, because Christopher Walken is well known for his wisdom and trustworthiness. You can now get the documents, and then go adopt the orphans, and then bring to to be hired for Chris Angel's show, and then he reappears Zach and you all go back to the front desk to get the right room key! Who knows how the celebrity and counterfeiter's story turned out, but I'm sure it'll be fun to come up with!

JESSICA

how convenient!

holy cow x.x

KALYN

Do you like it?

JESSICA

hahahah

that's great

I really hope the kid chooses to go off yours ^^

KALYN

I especially like Christopher Walken's cameo.

Hope so too, lol

JESSICA

yeah, no kidding

ah, that's great XD

KALYN

Christopher Walken is well known for his wisdom and trustworthiness. Where do I come up with this stuff?

JESSICA

yeah! i really enjoyed that part

KALYN

So anyway. Do you have any ideas for clips to use for those obscure lines for the video?

JESSICA

i haven't a clue

KALYN

haha oh well

I'll think of something eventually

…

JESSICA

*cough* so...

do you see that thing on my profile page?

KALYN

lol

Sims

JESSICA

*cough cough*

KALYN

You should check mine out too lol

I have 3

JESSICA

lol

lol, ok

i'll click on them for you

or maybe not...

KALYN

JESSICA

it's bein stuuuupid

KALYN

the game? It's getting a bit glitchy for me right now

JESSICA

yeah, it always does x.x

i click on things, but i don't know if they work, but they tell me that i can't click them again! so i don't know!

KALYN

I got one I think

I don't know which one

It might have just been an energy thing though

JESSICA

excellent (said like a villain stroking a cat or steepling her fingers)

oh, darn

KALYN

lol

JESSICA

so, back to what i said

about national novel writing month (or nanowrimo since it's shorter)

i'm having trouble coming up with something to write about

KALYN

haha

ummmm

any parameters?

JESSICA

and i would like to have a plot before i start...

yes

it all has to be written in November, only prep work can be done before or after

and it has to be 175 pages or 50,000 words

which, i know i can write, the only problem is actually having something TO write

KALYN

hmmm so is there a prompt or anything? Or do you just have to get writing?

JESSICA

just write

i've got a couple ideas, but i'm not sure if they can stand 50,000 words

KALYN

yeah…

JESSICA

and i would use one of the stories i all ready have, except i've started them all ready

KALYN

yeah. hm…

JESSICA

although some are truly crap...

KALYN

what sorts of ideas do you have? I need something creative to build on

JESSICA

lol

wel, like i said, one of my own stories

that i all ready have started (and just start it over)

i have a "twilight" parody thing, where i mock that genre, but i would like to do it well, you know? to the point no one realizes i'm making fun of it

KALYN

haha

interesting

how would you do that?

JESSICA

i've all ready sort of have an idea for that

a girl falls in love with a demon or something

but all he wants to do is eat her...

but he's a demon!

or, i think my other idea was that demon worshipers need a sacrifice?

something like that

KALYN

demon worshippers need a sacrifice?

JESSICA

yeah, i dunno

i was thinking they were going to try and summon a demo

lol

yes

a demo XD

KALYN

oh ok ha

I summon demos all the time

Like mashups and shit

sick beats

speaking of which

get on youtube and search DeliriousBiznasty

it's a username

JESSICA

now i have to pause shinee

KALYN

what song?

JESSICA

Wowowow

KALYN

JESSICA

exploring eastwood?

or does it not matter?

nice

KALYN

just check out his stuff

he does mashups

JESSICA

yeah, i see that

and hear it

KALYN

My favorite I think is the one for forgot about Dre. With the Striders.

it fits really well

JESSICA

mmm

i don't think i like Beatdown (Dre Style)...

KALYN

some don't match up as well as others

JESSICA

yeah

hmmm...

i don't know about WithOutMeGaLoVania...

KALYN

That one was one I didn't like much

Or maybe it was White America (whatever that one was called)

JESSICA

America Ultimatum?

i haven't listened to that one yet

KALYN

yes

JESSICA

actually, WithOutMeGaLoVania isn't too bad..

other than Eminem's voice, which is annoying

JESSICA

When I'm in Oblivion seems to fit a little better

KALYN

yeah

I think you clicking links was very helpful. I got at least two.

JESSICA

KALYN

Got em all!

JESSICA

woo!

so, i actually like John's Dad a lot

Showtime (Animal Mix) I do not like so much

KALYN

hm. don't remember those much. Showtime...the Gorillaz one?

JESSICA

no someone else

the first one i listened to was the Gorillaz one

KALYN

oh yeah

JESSICA

i don't know what to think of this...

.com/watch?v=XbElWuoG8NI&feature=related

KALYN

I just died.

JESSICA

KALYN

haha

JESSICA

Killed by Br8k Superman is also decent

well, it worked together, but i really didn't like the song

hmmm

KALYN

haha well opinions

JESSICA

American Ultimatum is ... not so great...

KALYN

I didn't mind the eminem mashups

no that one doesn't fit so well

JESSICA

some of the eminem mashups are good, but then others aren't that good

KALYN

nah, I didn't mind any of them as long as they fit the rhythms well enough.

JESSICA

meh

i can appreciate it when it matches the rhythm, but that doesn't mean i'm going to like the song

KALYN

Whatever strikes your fancy

JESSICA

hyup

the Upward Insanity (B-Real Owns) doesn't really work either

KALYN

meh. whatevs

haha

JESSICA

She's adorable

JESSICA

KALYN

haha

JESSICA

i will type wierd however i want!

KALYN

werid!

JESSICA

what is a proper creeper face?

KALYN

((:D))

JESSICA

for smileys that is

KALYN

lol

JESSICA

but, that's more like a happy face?

the "happy" on Skype would work

KALYN

Nevermind, it's a stupid troll thing.

JESSICA

oh…

KALYN

haha

JESSICA

it has never been minded then

meh, it doesn't work without the creeper face...

also, i don't know what i think of taemin's hat

KALYN

lol

Yeah, I questioned some fashion choices, like Key's pants and Onew's weird piece of red cloth around his waist.

Like they just had to have everyone wearing waist accessories,

and there weren't any left

JESSICA

lol

KALYN

So they just picked up a scrap of fabric from the scrap room

JESSICA

i have to finish it now though

KALYN

and were like "Here, tie this on."

JESSICA

what the hell happened to Minho's voice?

KALYN

What do you mean?

JESSICA

it's...different...

KALYN

Like how?

JESSICA

it's like...

higher pitched?

i don't know

KALYN

Really? It sounds lower than the original

JESSICA

it's just different and kind of wrong...

KALYN

At least the singing part.

JESSICA

i can't quite tell

KALYN

Are you talking about the rap part?

Maybe?

IDK.

I thought they all sounded like themselves...

JESSICA

no, i don't think so...

KALYN

You and Emily are both doing this! Saying they don't sound like themselves!

Which part are you talking about?

Do you have a time from the video?

JESSICA

1:56

i just looked it up before you asked XD

KALYN

lol

Okay I see how it's different, but I think that's just autotune because the notes are higher than his voice

JESSICA

Key sounds a little different too

not as profoundly as Minho

KALYN

He had a higher voice in the original one too, it just sounded softer

JESSICA

maybe

KALYN

I think it sounds more like his actual voice in this one. Really it sounds less like him in the original.

JESSICA

i will listen to them more after i finish watching it the first time all the way through (aaaaawkwaaar sentence!)

KALYN

hahahahaha

JESSICA

than Key?

i don't know why i added the "than" in there...

...

KALYN

Minho. Still talking about Minho up there.

JESSICA

i'm going to watch the video now...

KALYN

How is Key different?

JESSICA

i don't know...

it might just be the autotune too

KALYN

He sounds clearer than usual. Usually he has a bit of a gravelly um... what's the word...

JESSICA

but he sounds different at 2:10

KALYN

right. that's where I was

JESSICA

he usually has the deepest voice right?

KALYN

Key?

Like...singing or speaking?

Which would actually be no for both.

JESSICA

singing

oh...

KALYN

Onew has the deepest singing voice.

JESSICA

oh…

KALYN

heh

JESSICA

but...

...

KALYN

you're wrong.

always.

JESSICA

…..

:'(

KALYN

≤3

JESSICA

that's hurtful :'(

KALYN

Well

You know how it is

Between us

JESSICA

NO! a heart and two smiles will not fix this!

KALYN

This is how we are

JESSICA

KALYN

Just passing the insults

Because we know how it is

Between us

JESSICA

anyway, i'm listening/watching the original, and i guess you're right about Minho, i was just thrown off at first

KALYN

Yeah, they do sound different from the first one. Especially Minho, since I think he has the most work done on his voice.

Singing-wise anyway.

And also when you sing different vowels, you sing them differently. Like... I use different breath or shape my mouth differently or open my throat more with different vowels. This makes like no sense, but there's a change in the voice quality when the words are different.

JESSICA

no, i notice that sometimes, because songs do sound different in different languages

KALYN

right

JESSICA

i am going to send you this amazingly beautiful picture XD

it is just

ah, you will see XDDDD

just your normal email, right?

KALYN

...yes?

Can you not send it through chat?

JESSICA

….

no?

KALYN

so it's not from the internet?

JESSICA

...

can i?

KALYN

oh okay

JESSICA

i captured it, because i paused it beautifully

the video that is

KALYN

oh lol

oaky

hm, I quite like that

JESSICA

you will see true beaty

lol

KALYN

Let me know when it's sent

JESSICA

yeah, i will send it as soon as i think of an adequate subject

yeah...

i'll just go with that

it has been sent!

KALYN

Wow.

It's a bit fuzzy, but I see a couple of major derp faces there.

JESSICA

did you notice jonghyun's?

i like that one the most XD

KALYN

YES

And Key's is really hilarious too

lol

JESSICA

i have to be quiet because everyone is asleep, but i can'

KALYN

lol

JESSICA

t help but laugh so much

KALYN

Jonghyun's face is actually a little frightening.

Key's is also scary.

JESSICA

brb

KALYN

JESSICA

oooh so beautiful!

KALYN

I gotta go study. Before I fail midterms.

Love you!

JESSICA

love you too!

new profile picture!

KALYN

I tagged Kelsey as Taemin. Hope you don't mind.

It's actually quite fitting!

JESSICA

i don't mind at all

KALYN

:DDD

JESSICA

i think i might have to change my profile picture though

KALYN

haha

JESSICA

because every time i get on, i go into uncontrolled giggling XD

KALYN

I'm putting it as mine

JESSICA

I can see the Hero's allure in this video...but before... meh .com/watch?v=x9GdE7_Anzc&feature=related

JESSICA

Hey, back to the story thing, do you think a story based off Ludo's The Horror of Our Love would stand the 50,000 words

KALYN

What? What about that video?

I think...how would you do that?

Because I read the horrible notorious fanfic "My Immortal" and then when I listened to The Horror of Our Love, I thought of that fanfic.

He even says "My Immortal" in the song.

...are you saying Hiro is more alluring in this video? Probably because he actually looks masculine for once. Usually he just looks pretty, but somehow he's pulled it off. In fact, the three of them look better in this video than I've seen them.

...why did the setting just randomly change like three and a half minutes in?

That key change was unnecessary...

JESSICA

ok, ew... i don't want to be associated with My Immortal at all. But I would have thought the author would have used Evanescence more than Ludo...

JESSICA

JESSICA

So, when the White Queen was the queen, she was called the Adored Sovreign. Is she the only exile who's name doesn't have the same letters for her past name and future name?

although we haven't really met the White King yet, so maybe he his doesn't correlate either

JESSICA

.com/watch?v=JU9C9hwIX3Y&feature=related this is great actually

KALYN

I like the bit about the beer being mostly Hussie blood. Husserific!

…

JESSICA

but that is the exact reason why i had to stop getting on quizilla, because i felt that i answered those questions honestly, so that must be true even though they weren't really

*cough* and those people are anything but psychologists

so i really hope that if she stops reading those things, that she might become much happier

KALYN

quizilla? You used to take psychological advice from quizilla?

JESSICA

i was young and confused x.x

KALYN

Or are you talking about those "Which element are you" quizzes where they broke down your character?

JESSICA

yeah

the quizzes

i never read the stories or anything

KALYN

Yeah, all quizilla quizzes want to make us dark and love darkness and emo shit.

JESSICA

yup

KALYN

Those were always so off base.

JESSICA

i realize that now

KALYN

I didn't figure out who I was (or at least the person I wanted to be) until...I guess Sophomore year. I was happiest with myself then.

JESSICA

yeah, i still don't really know entirely

but i'm accepting myself a lot more

KALYN

Jr and Sr years put that to the test!

I still know who I am though

JESSICA

well, junior year i realized i was still letting my parents lead my lifea nd my thoughts

KALYN

That's good

JESSICA

so then i broke away from that

KALYN

Yeah, you think for yourself

JESSICA

but that made me a little lost

it's because i'm a libra!

KALYN

Whaaat?

JESSICA

lol

i still put too much stock in those profiling things

KALYN

hahahahahahahahaha

They're such bullshit!

JESSICA

but some of it makes sense

horoscopes are stupid

KALYN

I've become a major sceptic over the years of actually knowing who I am, lol

You know who you are

JESSICA

i am not really

well, a skeptic that is

KALYN

Yeah

JESSICA

i want to believe, i've always want to believe, but that's mostly because i've experienced "supernatural" things myself

KALYN

Right, exactly

JESSICA

so i have great difficulty not getting angry at people who say it's total bullshit

KALYN

I'm not talking about spirits and shit, I'll believe in that because I know many people who are sensitive to it

Very logical people

JESSICA

yeah

well, i'm very glad that none of my experiences had anything to do with spirits

KALYN

I'm just talking about horoscopes and fortune telling, or really anything that circulates on the internet like that

What experiences have you had then?

JESSICA

"deja vu" dreams that come true

literally

KALYN

Oh yeah

Like, you remember the dream for sure before it happens?

JESSICA

depends

lizzy's friend tyana came up with us to Michigan a couple of years ago for the first time

KALYN

Because I get deja vu, but then when I look back I think I had no reason to have it. Like, "No, wait, it was just a sensation." Which is what I've chalked it up to.

Anyway, go on.

JESSICA

well, a couple years before that i had a dream where she was with us at this local restaurant that we always go to as a family

well in the dream tyana was there

the next day i was like "no that couldn't happen" because i've always had this feeling that my extended family and friends would never meet, it was just too out there for me to grasp (living overseas and all)

but wouldn't you know, two years ago, there we were, at Johnny's (the restaurant) and tyana was there

and i always remember remembering

which is super obnoxious

KALYN

Yeah haha

JESSICA

but it also runs in the family

my grandpa saved my grandma's life before they were married

KALYN

Wow!

My granny had psychic dreams about big events

JESSICA

he told her not to go for a car ride with either his sister or her sister

JESSICA

and the sister got hit by a truck and died

KALYN

Oh. Sad.

JESSICA

and my cousin has the same thing

i know

it could have been a family friend too though

KALYN

yeah

JESSICA

all i know is that he adamantly told her not to go

another cousin (who isn't actually related to me) can see auras

but this is all on mom's side

KALYN

My Granny dreamed that Reagan (during the election) would be elected president and then shot. Also about a building exploding for some reason (terrorist, bomb, idk) and told her friend not to go to work that day. I think her friend was late that day.

I've heard of auras.

Zack told us about them one day, and then Clarissa claimed to see them. She apparently thought it was normal.

JESSICA

yeah, my cousin does too

KALYN

Could be just in her head, but she definitely is a sensitive to some degree.

JESSICA

yeah

but back to the zodiac symbols, i don't believe in the fortune telling aspect of horoscopes (except once in a blue moon it's actually right) but the actually meanings behind them makes sense, and i don't mean that in a way that i'm reading too much into them

JESSICA

I mean, come on, this describes me pretty well "Indecisive and changeable

Gullible and easily infuenced

Flirtatious and self-indulgent"

KALYN

Oh okay

...whaaaaaaaaat?

JESSICA

yeah

i've just learned how to hide it

which sounds very emo x.x

JESSICA

(this is the positive side) "Diplomaitic and urbane

Romantic and charming

Easygoing and sociable

Idealistic and peaceable"

KALYN

well I've...okay, it's hard to tell anything about someone when they hide traits. Do they technically belong to them if they aren't ever displayed? Or do people just feel like they can be described by these blanket terms? They see instances, but...If you replaced each of those words with its opposite, what would it become?

JESSICA

and from a very young age i was diplomatic

no, they are definitely there

KALYN

Are you romantic? Idealistic? Or are you more of a realist?

JESSICA

the problem is, when i was in England, i was picked on, so i learned to sort of hold them back?

see, here's the thing

this is something we've talked about in my human relations class

i am right-handed, so realistically speaking i should be more left brained (realistic, mathematically inclined, etc.)

but when i was younger, i learned how to play t-ball and softball with my left hand

which made the right side of my brain stronger

KALYN

...There are more right-handed people than left in the world, and the amounts of "left-brained" or "right-brained" people is more split. Besides, wasn't the idea of logic=left, creativity=right kind of...disproven?

I'm pretty sure both take both sides

And working on motor functions for each side doesn't really affect your other functions in your brain, does it?

JESSICA

well, how many people are actually left handed but they were taught to be right handed so they just took that up?

that screws up the statistics

yes it actually does

my inclinations are actually centralized

also, a lot of the "practical" and "realistic" tendencies were ingrained by my dad

he's very realistic

KALYN

Okay, but I feel like you aren't really born one way or the other. You become one way or the other based on your experiences and the way you perceive everything. Like... if those tendencies were ingrained by your dad, does that mean you then adopt them? Or is your true nature idealistic and romantic, and you're just going against it because you were raised that way? Are you reverting back to your true nature then?

JESSICA

i think it's a combination

are people born gay or raised gay?

that is another question

KALYN

And the thing about idealists and realists and romantics and pragmatics is...they're so abstract that rarely do people identify with just one. I fall under all of them to some degree, depending on really freaking abstract factors, like my mood or what I'm thinking about.

JESSICA

it's a part of who they are, so is homosexuality born into people or are they raised to be homosexual?

*cough* you are also a gemini *cough*

KALYN

And gay is a bit less abstract than romantic. That is based on a physical need, on hormones, physical attraction. You don't think gay they way you can think realistically.

Haha, okay, I'll give you that one.

JESSICA

but i've always been a diplomat

i was the mediator between james and lizzy

always

(which wasn't really fair for me)

Libras "are able to stand back and look impartially at matters which call for an impartial judgment to be made on them." that fits me too

"tolerate argument from anyone who challenges their opinions" very true

"for once they have reached a conclusion, its truth seems to them self-evident; and among their faults is an impatience of criticism and a greed for approval."

JESSICA

but don't forget i am also an introvert, so i'm not going to readily let people in

KALYN

Okay, Well then I must say that my dual/objective nature probably very likely fits the description of a Gemini. I will concede.

JESSICA

KALYN

I'm not gonna readily believe the thing about right/left brain though, since i've heard more than one argument on that, and I don't trust scientific information if there's an argument.

Because I am a gemini.

JESSICA

and do you not sort of say this yourself "they are the kind of people of whom it is said, "They always make you feel better for having been with them.""

fair enough

KALYN

I say that about whom?

JESSICA

me?

"You are necassary for my sanity"

you

said that

KALYN

hahahahahahahhahahahaha

kay

yes it's true

And you know what? You should feel special!

Because you are the only person that we feel withdrawal symptoms from if we haven't seen you in a while!

Usually people insist on seeing us, but you don't! So we insist on seeing you!

JESSICA

lol

well,

Geminis "take up new activities enthusiastically but lack application, constantly needing new interests" Just sayin

KALYN

Oh God.

Haha

JESSICA

KALYN

I have already conceded the horoscopes to you.

JESSICA

. but i like to beat dead horses...

KALYN

hahahahaha is that a Libra trait?

JESSICA

. especially if i find the subject interesting

my own personal quirk

KALYN

lol

JESSICA

although honestly i'm not like this if i'm not around friends, particularly you, Morgan and Emily (and my cousin Shanlynn)

and by romanticism it means the modern usage, not the "antiquated" version which i assume you were using before?

KALYN

okay, so you meant in the romantic endeavors sense? Like matespritship? haha

JESSICA

matesprit "Their marriages, however, stand a good chance of success because they are frequently the union of "true minds"

KALYN

Please tell me what that's supposed to mean

JESSICA

sort of like the "true love" idea

"soul mates"

KALYN

okay haha

JESSICA

that's how i translated it anyway (and i do believe in true love, is that not romantic?)

KALYN

"true minds" doesn't convey feelings as much as it seems to convey intellect

I don't call it true love, but I believe I have a perfect type? maybe?

I know that I'll know that I'll find someone I'll be happy with forever when I meet them

JESSICA

well, that was just how i translated it

KALYN

Yeah

JESSICA

"It can be changeable and indecisive, impatient of routine, colorlessly conventional and timid, easygoing to the point of inertia, seldom angry when circumstances demand a show of annoyance at least; and yet Librans can shock everyone around them with sudden storms of rage"

KALYN

huh, wow

Okay, I can actually see this

JESSICA

lol

i told you

KALYN

haha, well maybe you're just taking the parts that fit!

lol

No, I believe yo

you*

JESSICA

naw, i'm taking most of it

and i'm not showing you everything that actually fits, since you find it a little annoying when i bombard you with things i find interesting *cough*

KALYN

hahaha, naw

Only when I'm loopy on lack of sleep

and you go on a research tangent of pink lemonade and raspberry tea when I ask how pink lemonade is pink.

JESSICA

lol

"careless about money sometimes squander their wealth"

KALYN

One question turns into ten links, all of which I clicked on out of pure loyalty to you

What does mine say about money? lol

JESSICA

lol

KALYN

I'm curious now

Let's see how accurate this can be

JESSICA

i don't know how accurate this is "Also like children, they demand attention, admiration, and the spending on them of time, energy and money, throwing tantrums if they don't get what they want."

mostly the positive stuff applies to you

this is where i'm getting it all from

KALYN

That's me?

JESSICA

negative side of the gemini

KALYN

I don't *demand* attention, but I like it. I don't throw tantrums either, but I do sometimes sort of do what I can to get attention from people that I care about, because I crave praise from them because I value their feelings. Heh.

JESSICA

They are affectionate, courteous, kind, generous, and thoughtful towards the poor and suffering

KALYN

What does it say about money?

JESSICA

that was it

KALYN

Okay, yes. A million times yes.

You know how many people I've fucking donated to?

JESSICA

like i said, you seem to fit most of the positive traits, just not a lot of the negatives

if any really

KALYN

People think I'm naive or something, but I feel for them because I could've been there! I was close to that!

JESSICA

yeah

i know

JESSICA

this part seems to fit morgan a little more "If things go against them, they sulk like

children." maybe not like a child

KALYN

hahaha

Apparently we're children

I'm seeing a trend

JESSICA

well, you are really energetic

you are fixated on things but then find a new obsession

it's just "child-like" traits, not so much that you are children

KALYN

I often feel very child-like, and I don't see myself ever "growing up" in the sense that I just get boring and stop doing things if I think they're silly.

Spontaneity and whimsy are things I never want to lose!

JESSICA

haha, and i've always, for the most part been laid back

obviously i was a child and did child like things, but i was always pretty serious, or so i've been told

KALYN

I can see that, haha

I was a totally different person as a kid though

Actually, I think I might have thrown temper tantrums. I was a drama queen.

But less in the "OMFG Drama!" sense of the term and more of just the bratty sense. I had an attitude.

JESSICA

i was "drama queen" in the sense that i was dramatic, like theatrically so

KALYN

hahahaha

JESSICA

'tis true

KALYN

Which today only manifests itself in sarcasm!

JESSICA

lol

and accents and changing my voice

KALYN

Okay, I'm beginning to rub my face like I'm on ecstasy and my face is made of Egyptian cotton.

I think I need to go to bed.

JESSICA

...

that...

was

quite the description...

and now that isn't fair

because i was tired before you got on, but now i'm awake!

KALYN

oh .

sorry

JESSICA

it's your fault!

KALYN

well it's midnight here!

JESSICA

i blame you!

i couldn't sleep last night

KALYN

I have to finish a speech tomorrow and study for my midterms!

I love you!

JESSICA

and i got up early this morning

love you too, good luck on midterms!

KALYN

Sorry! DX

JESSICA

sleep well

KALYN

Okay. You too! If you ever get to sleep, which I hope you do.

JESSICA

yup, i'll just read or something

We got pretty philosophical at the end there. -cough-
