Dear Aaron(57)

AHall80: …

RubyMars: :) RubyMars: Anyway, enough about me. What about you? Any dates since you got back?

AHall80: Nah. I got other things to spend my money on right now than buying some overpriced drinks at a bar to pick somebody up.

RubyMars: Remember that time you told me it was a bad idea to pick up women at a bar?

AHall80: Har har

RubyMars: Har har, lol

Ahall80: I only got one girl I’m interested in right now.

RubyMars: Oh?

Ahall80: Lady Liberty RubyMars: And you think I’m cheesy.

Ahall80: I’ve never said you were cheesy RubyMars: ….

Ahall80: All right maybe once, but it was your joke that was cheesy. Not you.

RubyMars: Yeah yeah.

RubyMars: Are you getting any sleep?

AHall80: Not much, my times are screwed up.

RubyMars: Melatonin, ever heard of it?

AHall80: It’s only 7 p.m., it’s too early for sassy time.

RubyMars: :) RubyMars: It’s never too early for sassy time.

RubyMars: I’m really glad you made it back okay.

AHall80: Me too, Rubes.

AHall80: I’ll msg you soon.



10:03 p.m. (the next day) AHall80: Made it to Shreveport RubyMars: Finally.

AHall80: What are you doing?

RubyMars: Watching some movie with my little sister.

RubyMars: What are you doing? I thought you’d be hanging out with your friends.

AHall80: They’re playing Need for Speed next to me.

AHall80: We went out to eat right after they picked me up.

AHall80: What movie are you watching?

RubyMars: Do they live together?

RubyMars: Killer Klowns from Outer Space

AHall80: Max and Des? No. Des is staying here tonight though. He’s already drank half a bottle of vodka.

AHall80: What the hell is that?

RubyMars: How much have you drank?

RubyMars: It’s a movie… about killer clowns from outer space, lol.

AHall80: Two beers and 1/8 of the vodka.

AHall80: I’m good.

AHall80: I guess it’s late enough for the sassy to come out?

AHall80: Is the movie like what I’m thinking it’s like?

RubyMars: I bet you’re good, lol.

RubyMars: The sass is out.

RubyMars: Are you asking if the movie is so over the top it’s hilarious with some really interesting costumes? Yes.

AHall80: Lol

RubyMars: Have fun with Max and Des. :)

RubyMars: I’m not going to say that’s what you get, but…

AHall80: That’s what I get.

AHall80: Har har

AHall80: I read what I wrote you a minute ago, sorry for being weird.

RubyMars: It’s okay. I know you didn’t mean anything by it.

AHall80: Not that I don’t want to meet you

RubyMars: I get it. People say stuff when they’re drunk.
