Maybe Later(12)

AWalk90: Where are you?

JSpear84: At the hotel—my bed.

AWalk90: Your suite will be ready tomorrow, I assume you don’t mind the additional cost.

JSpear84: It’s fine. If you can ask them to move my belongings once they’re ready, I’ll appreciate it.

AWalk90: You’re planning on going out tomorrow?

JSpear84: Are we done with the tour?

AWalk90: Have you had dinner, yet?

JSpear84: No, any suggestions?



AWalk90 has sent you a map.



AWalk90: Order the Miso Paitan and drink ramune. Have some Sake too.

JSpear84: What are you doing?

AWalk90: Let me know if you need my assistance.

JSpear84: Good morning.

JSpear84 has sent you a request to play Scrabble

JSpear84: Are you upset with me?

AWalk90: It’s seven o’clock in the morning.

JSpear84: Do you live in Utah?

AWalk90: Why would you ask that?

JSpear84: You’re two hours behind.

AWalk90: There are at least twelve states which observe Mountain Standard Time, maybe thirteen. It all depends on the area. Even a part of Oregon observes MST.

JSpear84: Oregon?

AWalk90: Maybe I live in Oregon or South Dakota.

JSpear84: What do we have in store today?

AWalk90: I’m staying at home.

JSpear84: Shouldn’t you be out seizing the day?

AWalk90: The 90s would like their Carpe Diem back.

JSpear84: The movie is from the late 80s

AWalk90: It was released in June of 89, and the phrase was used a lot during the early 90s.

JSpear84: Either way, why are you staying at home?

AWalk90: I have a few things to do, but that doesn’t mean I’m not enjoying my day.

JSpear84: What am I supposed to do?

AWalk90: What do you do on Sundays?

JSpear84: Get some work done.

AWalk90: When do you live?

JSpear84: What do you mean live?

AWalk90: Enjoy life and everything that it has to offer you.

AWalk90: Everyone lives their lives in fast forward. They’re too busy to live in the moment. They try to rush through everything so they can get onto what they’re really supposed to be doing with their lives.

AWalk90: Until one day, you stop and realize that you’ve wasted your whole life. Life is happening now. It’s up to you how you live it.

JSpear84: Are you a motivational speaker on Sundays?

AWalk90: I don’t preach, I live. Long ago, I used to be like you.

JSpear84: Like me?

AWalk90: Running in some kind of imaginary race where I had to achieve all my goals to finally start my life until one day, I had this brilliant moment of clarity and realized that I am living my life and if I don’t do what I want and enjoy it now, I will never do it.

JSpear84: Is that why you are a temp? At least you’re right on one thing, relationships suck and there’s no point on having one. Why wait for a person to make you happy?

AWalk90: There’s a difference between waiting for someone and sharing your life with someone. Your concept of love and happiness are pretty screwed up.

JSpear84: You don’t seem to have a defined concept of what love and happiness should be. You’re just criticizing what you think I believe.

AWalk90: I’m not criticizing you, I’m telling you that you’re a cynic who doesn’t believe in anything and doesn’t expect much from others. You don’t put yourself out there—not even to have fun. Going out with your brothers is safe, work is safe, visiting your family is safe. When was the last time you let your guard down and began living your life?

JSpear84: Says the woman who doesn’t leave her cocoon because she might die.

JSpear84: Amy Walker can’t just pick up her shit and leave. Isn’t it sad that her tombstone is going to say, ‘Amy, she waited for the storm to pass and never learned how to dance?’

AWalk90: What will yours say?

JSpear84: By the time I die, you won’t even remember my name.

AWalk90: I’ll be sending you the schedule for today. I’ll be offline for the remainder of the day.
