West Coast Chat Nut

Bryce--: Hey how goes?
Bryce--: That's a pretty stellar profile you got there.
Bryce--: lol
Me: Hah, well thanks
Bryce--: Yah well we like a few of the same things.
Bryce--: Lost, eh?
Bryce--: Did you watch tonite?
Me: No, I'm a little behind. I have to catch up on this season.
Bryce--: OMG. It's so crazy, but I won't give it away
Bryce--: So what brings you to the Vancouver room?
Me: Haha yeah, please don't.
Bryce--: :O
Me: Just wandering, avoiding schoolwork.
Bryce--: Meh, this city ain't worth it.
Me: lol and why's that?
Bryce--: I almost wanna go chat in the St. John's room.
Me: It's awful.
Bryce--: Well if I tell you, I'm gonna sound bitter.
Me: And it's 4am here.
Bryce--: But Vancouver is probably the shallowest, coldest city ever.
Me: Haha well I might be living in Vancouver in a year. Why is it so shallow?
Bryce--: Dunno.
Bryce--: Just is.
Bryce--: I moved here 12 years ago from Calgary.
Bryce--: I think of going back a lot.
Bryce--: Or somewhere.
Me: Ah. I've never been out West.
Bryce--: Well
Bryce--: We have nice weather
Bryce--: Beaches
Bryce--: blah blah
Me: Haha
Bryce--: Ug I'm sorry to be such a downer, but just got burned again by another fraud.
Bryce--: Let's change the subject
Bryce--: I see you are a cat person
Bryce--: I have 2
Me: Another fraud
Bryce--: Oh what does that mean
Me: Well, yeah, I'm curious what you mean.
Bryce--: What?
Me: By another fraud.
Bryce--: Oh that was a question?
Me: Haha yes.
Bryce--: Oh no, just some guy that I met online and was (seemingly) getting on with splendidly.
Bryce--: We were supposed to have a date on the weekend.
Bryce--: I made the mistake of mentioning another guy I met on the same site.
Bryce--: Now I'm on ignore and he's chasing that guy
Bryce--: But he was supposedly so different, so not like every gay guy.
Me: Ah..
Bryce--: He almost had me convinced.
Bryce--: But then he was.
Bryce--: No bit surprise really
Bryce--: They say what they need to in order to get what's appealing at that moment.
Me: I suppose. It seems kind of odd.
Bryce--: It's just exhausting really
Bryce--: You keep thinking "woo, found someone different"
Bryce--: But then nope.
Bryce--: lol
Bryce--: That's Vancouver.
Bryce--: Ug, I'm sorry, I don't want to disillusion you.
Bryce--: Seriously how about a new topic.
Me: Uh, lol.
Me: Haha well anyway, the guy sounds like a loser anyway, so I wouldn't stress over it.
Bryce--: Well I'm not.
Bryce--: But it's just it happens so often here, it kinda gets discouraging
Bryce--: But whatever.
Bryce--: You have cats then?
Me: Yeah, a white maine coon named Sheba.
Bryce--: Cats are so underrated.
Bryce--: I mean I like dogs, but please.
Bryce--: lol
Me: Yeah--I love them. I don't really get dog people, lol.
Bryce--: I got two boys...Velcro and Eddie
Bryce--: Dogs are nice, but so much work...and not nearly as smart no matter what anyone says
Bryce--: I had a great dog for a while till he passed.
Me: No, dogs are smart, but cats are smart and choose not to do things, I think.
Bryce--: But when he got stuck in my room, his solution was to chew his way out. The cats just turn the fucking knob.
Bryce--: Seriously.
Bryce--: Well it's a handle knob, so they can
Bryce--: But the dog couldn't figure that out.
Bryce--: Cats reason. Dogs obey.
Me: Yeah exactly.
Me: Anyway bud, I have to get some sleep. Good luck with the city.
Bryce--: LOL
Bryce--: Wait a sec?
Bryce--: You are coming here?
Bryce--: For real?
Me: I might be if I do my MFA at UBC.
Bryce--: What's your name, bub?
Me: James.
Bryce--: My name's Rain.
Bryce--: Nice to meet you.
Me: Your name isn't Bryce?
Bryce--: No, I dunno why I picked that.
Bryce--: lol
Me: Yeah. ...
Bryce--: You got MSN, james?
Me: Yeah but I reserve that for people I know fairly well. Sorry.
Bryce--: OMG.
Bryce--: Yah you'll fit in well here.
Bryce--: You've got the bs down already.
Bryce--: I'm done. Just too tired to bother.
Bryce--: See ya.
Me: Haha, sorry. I just know that in a week we'll be down to awkward conversation, and I'm not moving to Vancouver until summer 2010.
Me: You need to calm down a little I think.
Bryce--: Well that's pessimistic and not surprising.
Bryce--: I suppose you realize if we are down to "awkward conversation" we can always delete each other then.
Bryce--: But if you are more comfortable with never even trying, then honestly I can't blame you.
Me: And I mean, you're mad at the city and all these guys, but your profile just makes you sound bitter. What guy wants to date a bitter, angry guy? I just don't really get it.
Bryce--: My level of effort is nearing zero as well.
Bryce--: Ah yes, don't miss an opportunity to insult me.
Bryce--: lol
Me: I'm not insulting you. You have put that into your profile.
Bryce--: I think it makes me sound realisitc and honest.
Me: Okay.
Bryce--: You are coming into it with rose colour glasses.
Me: I do have those glasses, yes.
Bryce--: I had them once.
Bryce--: I think I left them in Calgary.
Bryce--: But hey man, I don't want to spoil your very temporary party.
Bryce--: Enjoy.
Me: Well maybe you should go get them, lol.
Me: My temporary party? You're my temporary party?
Bryce--: Aw, if only it were that easy.
Bryce--: No
Bryce--: I'm not.
Bryce--: Vancouver is.
Me: Ah.
Bryce--: Haha.
Bryce--: One of two things will happen next.
Bryce--: Either you will see what I mean in 5 years or so. Or you'll adapt to this and beocome one of them.
Bryce--: Most people go for option 2.
Me: You are ridiculous.
Bryce--: I don't care for option 2.
Bryce--: Yah yah.
Bryce--: Ok
Me: Night night. Cheer up.
Bryce--: I'm wrong. I don't know what I'm talking about. lol
Me: Yes, everyone your age is either jaded or a bitch.
Bryce--: I can already see you are an option 2 guy.
Bryce--: G'nite.
Me: Night!
Bryce--: And thanks for another insult.
Me: You're welcome.
Bryce--: Warming up already
Me: Bye.

Liz, you're right. I should find a new hobby.
