It's pretty simple. This post is open. You can tag it with someone with a request or to be surprised, prompts optional (though if you leave it up to me it will probably be ridiculous), and let's have some fun. Muselist is HERE.

Have fun my dears.

You'd be surprised how much of a douchebag we can really be. If you'd like, I'll tell you, honestly, how you look right now.

[ he's... trying to lighten the mood? ]

[theghostofyou]

The fact that you're asking? Still makes you nicer than most straight guys I know.

[ex_vibing735]

Well, that might be true. But, try going to West Hollywood some time. I can help, though. I can also listen. I've been told I'm a great listener.

[theghostofyou]

I just ... got out of a really long term relationship in the shittiest way, and want to drink until I can't feel my face anymore.

[ex_vibing735]

Well, there are pros and cons to that. Are you better off?

[theghostofyou]

[she takes a breath]

Ask me that in a week.

[ex_vibing735]

Guess we've established that we're exchanging numbers. [ mostly said under his breath. ] Joke. [ another moment of silence befalls them. ] Do you still want an answer to your question?

[theghostofyou]

I really would. I mean, I'd like to hope that there's a guy out there who won't lead a girl on for five years, letting her think that he's going to marry him, and then dumping her unceremoniously on her ass.

[she sighs]

But if there is no such thing, I'd like to give up the ghost and switch teams now.

[ex_vibing735]

I don't think it works that way. [ but. ] There are. There are ten guys out there somewhere that won't do all that for that long. Maybe, it's not so worth it to... dip into the lady pond. Especially, because history would repeat itself. Reversed.

[ wait, is he making sense? it's definitely after midnight. ] What I mean is, your desire to pull away from the familiar - guys - could blow up in your face when your new interest - girls - doesn't... [ what's the word he wants to use. ] stick. Then, you'd just be doing the same thing to a girl. And that's not fair.

So, in the end nobody wins and nobody is any happier because life is like that. [ wait... ] I feel like I was trying to make you feel better and then - didn't. Main point: guys are out there en masse.

[theghostofyou]

Fair point.

[she can admit them when they happen, even when she's drunk.]

It just doesn't feel like it right now.

[ex_vibing735]

And it probably won't. For a while. But, tomorrow morning when you curse your inevitable hangover, it'll be a new day.

[theghostofyou]

And I will be on a plane to LA.

[ex_vibing735]

Small world. So will I. What time?

[theghostofyou]

Around noon, I think?

[ex_vibing735]

O'Hare? [ he closes his eyes, sucking in a breath. ] Of course, it's going to be O'Hare. What I mean... my family, the rest of my family is heading back to Maryland, at ten. I'm heading back to LA. At 11:45. What are the chances?

[theghostofyou]

Huh. Guess we got lucky.

[ex_vibing735]

Yeah. My family relocates from the West Coast - seriously, why - I don't think snow's that worth it... But, what a small world.

Are you from California?

[theghostofyou]

Nah, I'm from here, but I've got family out there. I could do with something new.

[ex_vibing735]

Is this a sudden decision?

[theghostofyou]

[She shakes her head.]

I was going out there for a job this week. But since I don't have anything to really come back to here, I might as well stay longer.

[ex_vibing735]

What do you do?

[theghostofyou]

Freelance photography.

[ex_vibing735]

I work at a newspaper! [ Um. Same thing, sure, Devon. ] I just mean, we use freelancers all the time.

[theghostofyou]

What paper do you work at?

[ex_vibing735]

The Los Angeles Daily News.
