Hello, hello!
Hey-o
It's so nice to see a real person! Do you get matched with ghosts a lot? I feel like I do . . .
I feel Must be the Halloween season
Setting the mood, eh? I see, I see.
To prove I'm not a ghost
Well, the fact that you're typing at all proves that you at least can physically type on a keyboard. Which is definitely better than other ghosts I've talked to. You can have the most FASCINATING conversations with them, though! They know the craziest things! The only problem is getting them to open up.
But for all you know I could be a zombie or a vampire or some other monster.
Hmmm.
Yeah ghosts tend to be a little secretive
Pretend I'm stroking my non-existent beard.
Envisioned
Well, if you're of the supernatural variety, and I'm also of that, uh, variety, then it's probably better this way. Don't want mere mortals getting mixed up in the middle, right? Gotta keep our undead rituals and whatnot to ourselves.
Right. They've got poor constitutions. Wouldn't want them sickening themselves for no reason
Knowing those portals, the poor things, they'd probably still try even AFTER all the warnings we give them. They just don't understand the power they're messing with. Always a curious bunch, they are. . . . that, or bloodthirsty. *mortals
I'd just say they're slightly below average in the intelligence department. Dash of curiosity and blood thirstiness
They're going to end up getting themselves killed, that's for sure. Quite frankly, I'm surprised they haven't exterminated themselves yet. They're so fragile!
Well, when your street smarts are slow... Guess that's why they're glued to screens
That IS a good connection. Makes them forget about their inevitable deaths. I'd want to forget, too, if I weren't immortal.
Though it kind of backfires. They're so focused they walk right into imminent danger. Oh, you're an immortal breed?
Yeah. Not unkillable, just immortal. I don't really age. Or . . . I don't think I do? It's kinda hard to tell.
What's that feel like?
Pretty boring, actually. All the good people die within a few decades.
Like....?
Then it's off to hunt down more people for good conversations. Like, you know. "I wonder what new things THIS century will bring." It gets old after a while. I suppose it's nice to have computers nowadays, but it's still about the same.
Has this century surprised you?
Well, they've made a lot of new gadgets and gizmos, which are fun, but humans are always still humans. They don't really . . . change.
Gotta love that pride cycle
No matter how many new ideas they stumble across, no matter how many new revelations, they always act the same. Right? You'd think after several millennia they'd have learned, but you'd be wrong.
Riches and glory! Hahahaha we did it all on our own!
And then after everyone wipes themselves out, I'll be REALLY bored. See? Exactly!
Then you can hang with the rest of the animal kingdom
Not as intelligent as the humans, but I suppose they DO make a good distraction from the mundane parts of life. The, uh, quotidian routine. So happy I used that word.
10 ACT word I approve
Many thanks, many thanks. So, with a name like Sailor, I'm assuming you're a long-lost soul to sea?
I prefer "taking a vacation from landlubbers" They're a bit too grounded for me
But don't you get seasick after, I dunno, several years on the waves?
Not if you have an endless supply of saltines and oranges.
Do you have some ectoplasmic residue coating your boat to keep it from decaying, then? Because saltines and oranges can only do so much. Maybe you can make a solution using saltines and oranges alone . . . Oh, wait, I forgot to clarify which class of ghost you are.
....I thought we clarified that I'm not a ghost...
. . . you know, I think you're right.
Ah, the boat itself is crafted from long-lost souls
Enlighten me, then.
Of what I am?
Yes, sir! (Or madam, depending.) (But probably sir.)
Are you assuming my gender? The monster in me is quite offended
Now, now! That's why I left it, um, ambiguous? It's the gender-neutral sir, see.
OK, hold up. In all actuality, what do you think I am?
I was assuming a guy just because most people here are guys, but I'm realizing I could be wrong now.
Really? You've only talked to guys? Weird... Well I broke the streak I'm a girl
Oh! You're a girl! That's so fun!
Being female is fun...?
You know, now that I think about it, I'm not sure I DO talk to guys primarily; those are just my assumptions. Hehe, okay, now do me. Boy or girl?
Drat.
Good guess, but no.
Well, frankly I always assume androgenous usernames to be guys...
That's all right. I do, too. Unless they specify otherwise, I usually assume guy. Buuuuut, to kill the suspense, I'm a girl, too. "KJ" are my intials. *initials Well, my first and middle name, at least. Not my last name.
Well nice to meet a fellow female *extends hand* I actually don't think I've talked to a guy at all on here.
*virtually shakes hand* Wait, what? Seriously? I know for sure I've talked to at least a few.
Yeah, it's weird. The first time I did it there were almost no girls. What a switch.
Same here. Have you not met Keyyan, then? Or Z?
Nope.
What about chitchatter39? Or . . . 29, maybe.
Nopity nope nope
Weeeeird. Maybe it's the time of day I talk. I'm usually on in the evenings, but with the contest ending soon, I need to up my game.
Well...I've only talked to you, Pito, and katy....so havn't really been out too much
Wait, whaaaat?
Hear hear
I was just talking to Pito! And I was talking to katy last night. That's so crazy.
People are just popping in. I heard about the challenge starting again on the way to Montana so I missed a whole weekend of chatting.
Ooof. That's rough. Are you aiming for first? Or just the raffle threshhold? *threshold
I guess? I just like finding people that are chill with sarcasm
Hahahaha, you'll probably find that here. I'd . . . assume so.
I mean you were pretty chill with the whole off-reality building so that was pretty awesome
I know! I was surprised you let me take it that far. 'Cause, like, most people get "serious" after a few lines. But I got to play full-fledged . . .  uh, whatever immortal thing I was.
Mrgh, I know. I met one person last time that was so hard-core for the question at the beginning that he ended the conversation b/c we were drifting away from the prompt
What?
You make a very good immortal thing
You seriously met someone like that?
Yeppers
Why, thank you, thank you. That's . . . a little frustrating. I've kinda always ignored the prompt. Sometimes we talk about it? But, like, it doesn't mean much to me.
I mean if it's a really good one, like what if the world was made with PB, I run with that. Because...food
Amen. 10/10 response.
*bows*
Oooooh! In other good news, I'm officially 100,000 points above my competitor. I don't know his real name, but I'm PRETTY sure it's chitchatter29, the little sneak.
*applause*
You're too kind. Thank you, thank you! Man, he's been racing me.
Out of curiousity even though we're not allowed to ask... who are you on the scoreboard?
(Wait, we're not allowed to ask? rip)
That's what I read....but I'm a rebel
I've give you a hint: My current rank has a 0 in it. I have to go re-read the rules. Don't want to accidentally disqualify myself. Now THAT would be sad.
REJECTED ...0 as in at the tip top...or 0 as in 10 or 20...?
Pretend like I just gave you a knowing look and asked you to guess.
I'm super bad at guessing. You're at the tip top
That I am! Pffft. I thought you said you were bad at guessing.
....I need to reevaluate my life... *hides in a corner*
Nooooo. Come back! I'll bring you your boat of long-lost sailor souls!
I'm reevaluating life.
I see, I see.
I'm already on the boat, you immortal thing
I'll bring you . . . another one? Or what about soul detergent? I'm sure they get grimy after several thousand years of wallowing in despair.
Only if there's an endless supply of Chinese sausage and cheesecake on it
Not sure I can give you the endless cheesecake, but I know a guy for the Chinese sausage. Just gotta pull a few strings.
Wait really?
Totally. He lived a few centuries back, but I'm sure I can get in contact with his modern day family, whoever it is.
*facepalming b/c of memory loss of your immortality* I really want some now. Sadness
Chinese sausages, eh?
We had it all the time at home but I'm now a poor college monster
Yup. Sounds like college life to me. What's the difference, actually? Between Chinese and, like, American? Or . . . Italian?
It's sooooooo much better. It's called lop chong Greasy goodness
"Greasy goodness" as in "Oh, my goodness, my pizza is literally dripping," or as in "I'm going to die of cardiac arrest at 32 and love it."
Both. Put it in rice soup with eggs and oyster sauce, or mix in with fried rice and it's heaven
How do you know so much about this? All I know are hispanic recipes due to my mother being from down South.
Being Asian has its perks.
Like, South America. Not, you know, the other South in the States. Oooh, you're Asian? That makes you super smart!
Through and through
The other Asian I met on here, Z, could type at something like 120 WPM.
Yes? I think I might know who Z is....
It's an indisputable fact that all Asians are smart.
I mean I got a 35 on the ACT, but that doesn't really mean much...
Oh, yeah? He's a cool guy. Whaaat? My goodness, you could get a full-tuition scholarship at that number. I'm serious.
If he's a 6 foot tall korean dude, yeah I met him last time.
Enough for four semesters.
That I did.
It's possible. I don't actually know what he looks like. Oooooo. So good. I envy you a little.
But I have to stay above a 3.6 which may or may not happen....
Ah. GPA levels, eh?
Yeppers
Well, if you weren't stressed enough, since I DIDN'T get that high of an ACT score, I have to keep my GPA at about a 4.0 if I want to keep my scholarship. It's full-tuition, though.
Oof. Worth it
Definitely worth it.
And here we are procrastinating our scholarships
Just, you know, don't ever mess up. Aaaactually, um, I'm not enrolled in class this semester. I'm leaving on a mission soon. I'd totally love to be taking classes, but it'd kiiinda conflict with finals.
Wait really? That's awesome! ...so I'm just procrastinating my scholarship...darn Have you gotten your call?
Hahaha, what makes you say that? And, yes, I have. Down to Argentina I go! . . . in February. I dunno why I was assigned so late, but I was. But back to procrastination. Are you supposed to be doing homework or something?
That's awkward. At least it'll be warm ...I thought I could multitask and finish a critical analysis paper...didn't happen. Way too intreresting of Conversation was too interesting I have a weakness
I see, I see. Talking is enough to get you off track, eh? (I literally just procrastinated doing the dishes.) (I definitely, 100% need to do those.) (Later.) But a critical analysis paper? For which class? An English one or something? I just realized I have no idea why year in college you are. *which
ENG 251. Freshman
Whoa. You're taking a 200 level class as a freshman?
Yes...? It's one of those classes that a lot of freshmen take. I think... Not actually sure of the years of my classmates...
Huh. I thought, uh, Writing 150 was the one that freshman took. I'm not completely sure, but that was my impression.
I'm an English major (soon to be switching to Editing) So i'm taking WRI 150 too
Ooooh, wow! An English major? I can respect you. Oh, I have to go suddenly. I'm sorry. I might be on later? It's my sister's birthday, see. Such a shame. I was really enjoying this.
No problem. This paper needs to be finished...in the next hour.
WHAT. Sailor!
Haha have fun at the party!
Go, go! I will. :) Best of luck to you!
I had a tournament over the weekend!
Uh-huh. Suuuuure you did. Okay, but seriously. I hope I see you again!
And technically she extended the due date for me for tomorrow night Back at you
