Hehe, sounds great. I dread to think how much weight I'm going to gain though, lol xD

Hmm, well, I guess that 'growing apart' makes sense. Maybe she just got too wrapped up in what she was doing to pay attention to you? Either way, it's still sad to hear that she forgot about you. And yeah, I'd love us to be friends too!

Don't be sorry, Riley. It's not as if it was your fault, is it? It was quite a long time ago. Lets see...the accident was when I was 4, and I'm 17 now, so...it was about 13 years ago. And I'm sorry about your dad; make sure to give your mum a hug for me! My dad gets sad when I try to talk about mum, too, so...I just don't bother. And yeah, love can be painful. Which is kind of the reason I'm scared of it.

Oh my god, yes! You're talking about "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies". I love that song so much; I think it was one of the first of theirs that I listened to. The music video is quite weird, though, lol. And I like older music, too. My dad used to play Queen and Whitesnake and all that around the house, so...I got some of the older stuff too. I liked it a lot.

That would be a bit of a challenge, at least! Do you believe in that, online friendship? Many people judge it. I think I believe in it, although I don’t have any experience with it. Can’t really tell my mom about you, though; she’ll probably think you’re just an old guy trying to lure me into something.. lol Moms. Heh, maybe we should talk about my dad and your mom on here; I’m sure we won’t get too sad about it and I do have the urge to talk about him every now and then. He was a war hero, so he deserves to be talked about. Or at least, that’s what I think. I don’t remember the music video, to be honest. Maybe you should send me a link to it? Yeah, my mom’s a really big fan of oldies too. When she thinks I’m not watching, she’s dancing in the living room to Tina Turner. I can’t let her know I saw that, because she’d want me to join her and I really suck at dancing.. I just look like an awkward Muppet having an itch or something! haha

Ooh, that sounds really good! Lol, I don't mind if you think it'd be too hard or anything. Sounds yummy, though. Lunchtime is too far away xD

Of course I believe in online friendship! You don't have to be able to see a person to like what you're talking about with them. I don't really have much experience either, but I don't think that that matters. I could probably tell my dad about you, he'd be past caring, lol. Your mum just wants what's best, I guess.

I'd love to talk more about our parents. I think it would be a nice outlet kind of thing, no? And he was a war hero? That's a good way to go; keeping others safe. My mother was killed by a drunk driver, so...not as good. Heh.

Haha, I don't think I really should link you. It's so very strange. A reeeally good song, but the music video's a bit...all-over-the-place. And, yeah, I remember my mum dancing to Tina Turner sometimes. She'd make me dance with her. But that was okay; that's what got me interested in dancing in the first place. I like dancing.

But you’re right, though; don’t eat too much of it. I’m kinda skinny, so I hope by eating a lot, I’ll gain some. Some muscle hopefully, heh. My mom can be a little overprotective. Especially after all the bullying and stuff.. Yeah, I can’t really blame her. Your dad’s past caring? That sounds harsh. Is he not a pleasant dad? I was scared to ask before, but now I know what you mean by ‘accident’, which you mentioned earlier. That’s terrible. I don’t even know what to say. You must be devastated. I’m sorry, I’ll stop talking. You like dancing? So, what kind of dancing do you do? I’ve considered taking lessons for that too, but beside the money issue, I’m also just a chicken; I’m kinda scared to make mistakes and such, and make a fool out of myself.

Yes, I agreeeeee. Pie is wonderful, lol. But yeah, never too much of it. I'm still trying to put a tiny bit of weight on, though. Apparently I'm too light for my height by about...5 pounds? Not too much, so...it's all good. And don't worry, Muscle is overrated.

My dad was overprotective of me at first, but he kind of got...wrapped up in himself, I guess. Don't get me wrong, he's a great dad when he wants to be, but...Sometimes he can just forget about what's important, y'know? And then...ugh, don't worry, I won't bore you with it. It's really long and complicated.

No, you can keep talking if you like. I was devastated, but now...I don't mind talking about it at all. I think I'm resigned to the fact that it's happened, so I'm okay with it. I miss her sometimes though.

Yeah, I like to dance. I mostly do lyrical style or contemporary style dance, because it's really fluid and pretty. I do hip-hop too, sometimes. I'd be happy to teach you that too, if you'd like, lol. Although you could have that one for free; it wouldn't be my job. You wouldn't even have to bake me any pies although it would be quite nice

Not if you like playing soccer. The more muscle, the better. You’re not boring me, honestly? Do you want to talk about it? Cause if not, that’s fine too. Remember how we just agreed it’d be good for us to discuss our parents? I guess that can also apply on those who are still alive.. Yeah, I miss my dad too sometimes. Even though I don’t even remember him, other than on pictures. Is that weird? After all, I don’t know him. Perhaps I miss the person I hope he was. Honestly, both of those things sounds like a foreign language to me, lol. Haha you’re teaching me a lot, aren’t you? I would kinda like that, though, I guess. Maybe just so I can ask a girl to dance with me one day. But shouldn’t I be teaching you something too, then? I mean, apart from baking, because that’s not really that useful.. I really enjoy talking to you, btw. It doesn’t cost me trouble, like it comes sorta natural.

Oh, you play soccer? That's cool. I always sucked at sport. Dance was really the only sport I was good at, if you could even call it a sport. Lol, I guess that's just typical teenage girl, isn't it? Even though I actually knew a girl who was good at sport before I moved to Honey Tree Town.

I guess I want to talk about it, but it's kind of complicated. He's a great dad when he tries, but...sometimes he just gets too caught up in himself to pay attention to what I'm doing. I don't mind, really - it's not like I get up to anything really bad, and I know that he loves me, so...we're all good.

No, it's not weird at all. I think it's actually rather sweet that you miss someone you don't really remember. It's okay, Riley. I remember my mum, but...I guess that's a good thing, isn't it? I don't know. But hey, your father sounded like a good man. I would miss that.

Haha, I guess I am teaching you a lot. I like teaching, though, I think it's one of the few things I'm actually good at. You don't have to teach me anything in return. And hey, who knows? Baking could be very useful.

Yeah, I enjoy talking to you too. It's like...It's a vent, y'know? I can get out my feelings and it doesn't come at any emotional cost. Thanks for reading all my rambles, lol.

I quit, because.. Uhm.. reasons, I guess. Just, people. Yeah. I was never that good at it anyway, so it didn’t matter, right? I try to tell myself that, at least, but honestly? I miss it. Not the bullying and the jocks, but just the game. Even if I’m not very good at it. Dancing is a sport. I think so, at least. Besides, all that really matters is whether or not you like what you do or not, doesn’t it? I think I would mind it. He’s your dad, he’s supposed to pay attention to you, more so than to himself. But if you’re really not bothered by it.. Do you try talking to him about it sometimes? Maybe he doesn’t even realize what he’s doing exactly. I’m not sure, since I can’t compare it, but maybe it’s harder when you miss someone you actually remember. I don’t know. Maybe.. maybe we shouldn’t talk about this. Do you have any idea what you’ll do after high school? Do you want to study or something? Since you like teaching, I thought maybe you’d like to go ‘official’ and become a teacher. Other than a music teacher, or dance teacher, lol. A real one. Not that music and dance teachers aren’t real.. Okay, screw up there. Sorry about that, I really didn’t mean it in a negative way. Heh, why didn’t I just hit the delete button? I need an awkwardness filter.. I’m glad you agree with me. And your rambles really aren’t a problem to read, they’re actually quite enjoyable, if that doesn’t sound too weird. It feels like I can relate to you in a strange way. That’s a nice change.

You quit? Naw, that's a shame. You shouldn't let people get in the way of what you want to do, Riles. Although, that probably makes me sound like the world's biggest hypocrite. Heh. And yeah, I suppose that that's all that really matters. Whether or not you enjoy what you do.

I can understand why he's the way he is, though. I guess that losing the person that you loved most in the world can do that to a person. I don't think talking to him would do much good, if I'm honest. Maybe that's just me being pessimistic, but...I really, really don't think it would work. Thanks for the advice, though. Means a lot.

I don't mind talking about this if that's what you'd like to talk about. In fact, it's kind of helpful. It helps me to admit my feelings to myself, as well as someone else. Does that sound weird to you?

No, I don't have any idea, lol. I seem to jump from one career to the next each week. Like, a few weeks ago, I decided I was going to be a hairdresser, now I want to produce music, and in a few weeks...I don't know. It's odd how quickly I chop and change xD And yeah, teaching does sound nice, I guess. Not just Dance and Drama, but maybe...History? I always liked that subject. :3

Oh, and sometimes I wish there was such thing as an awkwardness filter too.

Are they? Haha, I just type whatever crap comes into my brain while I'm typing; I don't mean to make it enjoyable or anything. Not that I want to bore you at all, just...yeah. I like talking to you and reading what you say to me, as well. That's a fun way to pass the time.

Well, not really, but I mean.. I understand. I am too, sometimes. Like just now, I tell you all these things that’d be wise to do and such, while, if I followed my own advice, I wouldn’t be in the dumps I am in now. Heh, funny how that goes. It’s easier to advise others, huh? But you’ve never actually talked to your dad about it? Well, you don’t know until you try, right? I mean, I don’t want to force you into anything, but that’s kinda true. Doesn’t make it much easier though. That doesn’t sound weird to me at all, actually. I’m sometimes just a little awkward with words, so I didn’t really know how to describe what I wanted to say. That must’ve sounded weird Oh well, I’ve said quite a few weird things since our conversation started and you’re still around.. Heh, I kinda suck at History. Another thing you could teach me, huh? I’ve been spending the last two hours behind this screen, just talking to you and writing some.. Should I not do something with my life? My mom’s working, but I bet you if she were here, she’d dragged me outside by now. Maybe I should just go for a walk.. What do you think?

Haha, I get what you mean. It's easy to give advice to others; just...not to follow it. But, hey, maybe...maybe that's a good thing? Because then it could show how awesome you are at giving advice and then get you a really cool job doing a newspaper column or something? ...Haha, okay. No, I suppose it's not a good thing. But, y'know, it's understandable, right?

Yeah...I guess I could try talking to him. I suppose that that might help a little bit. Y'know, when he's actually got the wherewithal to listen to me. It doesn't make it any easier...but it helps. If that makes sense. Thanks, Riley. It means tons. :3

Lol, no, it didn't sound weird at all. Words are hard things to work around. It's like...you want to say one thing, but you end up saying something completely different and looking like a fool. So...yeah, sometimes it's just easier not to say anything. I don't know what to say, most of the time, so silence is just the safest option. That or internet chat forums.

I'd be happy to teach you history, lol. xD

A walk sounds really good, actually. I probably spend way too much time in front of my laptop instead of outside. Meh, I guess I just feel safer in my house. I don't know. I like talking to you, though. It's great to have someone who understands most of what I have to deal with right now :3

But I guess I would rather do it anonymous, since that’s a little.. safer. Besides, nobody can write hate filled messages about me on the message boards. Well, technically they could, they just wouldn’t know my name. Maybe that makes it less.. bad? You like talking to me? Really? That’s nice, thanks for saying that. I like talking to you too and I agree with you; it feels good to have someone understand, especially when most people don’t even try to. Hold on, I’m going to move you to my friend’s list. ^_^ Heh, I think I shouldn’t have gone on that walk. Everyone was staring at me, it kinda makes me wonder if I look weird, maybe. Or do you think I’m just imagining things like this? My mom says I do, sometimes. Even if I am, it’s still really annoying; the thought that everyone’s watching, everyone’s judging. God, I hate myself. Even I’m annoyed by all the crap I spit out, lol. But then again, I also enjoyed the fresh air and just.. some things. Down my streets lives a guy about my age. He’s really nice. Well, I think he is, because all I’ve ever said to him was ‘hello’. But when I do, he doesn’t give me a weird look, you know? He just.. smiles and says hello to me too and.. Okay, that really made no sense, sorry! I’m not even sure why I’m telling you this..

I get what you mean. Writing a column sounds reeeally fun, but there's haters and trash talkers and all that stuff. If there was some way I could be anonymous, the...actually, no I wouldn't, haha. I can't write for toffee xDD But still, you know what I mean, right?

Omgs, I made the friends list. I'm honored. Well. if it makes you feel awesome, you made mine, too, lol. So yeah. I just switched you to the list :3 Now we're even~

Nawwwwww, Riles. I get like that too, dun' worry. Maybe you are imagining it; I almost always am, so... But don't worry, it doesn't mean you're crazy or anything. Just...self conscious? Yeah. I think that's the term. I'm kind of self conscious, but I think that was from when I had blue hair and I was always getting stared at, lol. I don't really have any good reason to be. At least, I hope I don't.

Oh, no, you're making complete sense! I think that that's real nice of him, he does sound like a really nice guy from what you're saying here. Besides, no weird looks is always a plus

Lol, it’s not such a big honor, really. I’m just glad I could add you to it, and thanks for adding me too. I appreciate it, really. Well, you’re pretty, so that could be the reason people stare at you? Yeah, you’re right about that. I like the ‘no weird looks part’. Now if I could only muster the courage to speak more than a single word to him.. I just get awkward and don’t know what to talk about. I don’t think he goes to my school, cause I’ve never seen him there. Then again, many people go to that school, so not seeing him doesn’t mean he doesn’t go there. Should I just.. introduce myself next time?

Yeaaaaah, that's exactly what I mean. If no one knows who you are, then no one can make you feel inferior, right? Of course, my inferiority complex doesn't depend on anonymity. Heh. Ah well, no matter. I think that what I'm trying to say is that being able to hide from things is awesome. :3

'Course it's an honor! I've never really been added to a friend's list before, just been in group chatrooms. Actually, this is the first private chat I've been in. So yeah, I'm no longer a private chat virgin! -dances around madly- But still, yeah. Adding you is no trouble; I think you're worthy of the friends list. ^_^

Pfft, pretty. Thanks for the compliment, but I think the blue hair did the trick, lol xD

Hmm, maybe you should introduce yourself. I know it's scary, but...if he's as nice as he seems, then nothing can go too terribly wrong, can it? What have you got to lose? Not much. Don't worry about it if you can't or don't want to. I understand how you feel completely. :3
