bsides and rarities

- Come in.

- What are you doing, working on your blog?

- Yea.  I'm having some...some kind of time of it, I guess...(sighing) I don't even know what that means.

- I can tell, you're not even on the notepad.  You're just right there in it.

- I'm just trying to get it going some way or another, Today.  This charger's really annoying.  I can't manuever much with it.

- I pulled something in my arm today trying to scratch my back.

- Yea, that's how my mind feels.  It's irking but not distinct.  Anyway, how was school?

- Umm?

- Just talk, don't think.

- Umm

- I pulled my arm trying to?

- Today!

- I rode my bike.

- No you didn't you were at school.

- Well I rode it over here—Oh, listen.

- Hold on I gotta piss.  You better have something for me when I get back or I'm going to be very, very...it won't be good for you Today.

- Want me to tell you now?  I have it...

- No—hold on... What do you have for me, Today?

- Let me get one of those...

- Get in character.

- Okay. So...oh, I need a jacket, it's cold.

- Today!

- So Stephanie sent out a group tex—

- Wrong answer.  Pick a fictitious name.

- Umm...Step Phony?

- Mariam Bell.

- So this one girl from class a couple nights ago sent out a text about finding a lost puppy, and I thought it would be great to have a dog.

- That's just like you, Today.  Your mom's going to end up taking care of it.

- I can take care of a dog!

- What about your sports injury?

- Well, it doesn't matter, anyway.  

- What happened?

- This girl said she didn't know what to do with it so I thought maybe I could take care of it, but then she said she had convinced the guy who keeps asking her for a ride home everyday to take care of it—

- Convinced?

- I thought we could make flyers if he can't keep it or maybe I could offer something.

- She probably likes convincing people who stare at her all the time.

- You're not in a good mood.

- What happened?

- The next time he came to class—

- Probably comes to a lot more—

- What?  Can you turn it down?

- Yea, this fuckin movie.

- Who's ever heard of babies talking?

- Yea, dumb movie.  So what happened?

- He said he was late for work one day and left the dog in the back of his apartment and he was fidgety and now the puppy somehow has been missing for a couple days.

- Did he check any shelters or look for it?

- But he was late for work that morning.

- Is he late for work every morning?

- Oh, I don't know, but he gave us an intersection!  

- Maybe he has to walk everywhere.  He sounds like he's on his own maybe.

- Oh, maybe.  Do you want to ride your bicycle around with me?  It'll be fun.

- I gotta work on this, Today.

- Maybe I'll ride around that area.  Who knows, maybe the dog might be around and I can try to do something.

- Ask it for a ride.

- What?

- Nothing.  Something is wrong with my thinking, Today.  Go before it gets too dark.  Make sure you don't end up petting no raccoon.

- Oh, I'm going to take care of it if I find it.
