Competition

 

3.11.02 – Yeti to enter contest?

Joe: Yeti just had a great idea for your contest: he wants to enter Nate Shupe.  But he doesn't wanna talk to him, ‘cause he hates Shupe.  So I guess that’s an invalid entry.

 

 

Another date set up:

Joe: Phil said, “Okay, I'm intrigued,” but it would have to be next week, over break.  This is horribly amusing.

Erika: I’m coming home next Friday.

Joe: Phil said pick a day for the date.  Phil will be home Friday or Monday; he’s not sure yet.

 

Phil [To Joe]: She's actually kind of cute, and what she has to say in the disclaimer gains a thumbs up.  You're not setting me up with someone who's on crack, right?

[Later]

Phil: Ah, so she can be fun and she can be reserved.  I like that.

 

Joe: I feel like I struck gold with Phil.  I shoulda thought of him first.

Erika: What’s the fun and reserved thing?

Joe: He was like, “What’s she like?”  And I’m like, “Um, crazy and fun to be around, but she’s also civil, depends on who she’s around.”  And he’s like, “Nice.”  What do you talk about?  I don't have all the answers for him!

Erika: You can give him my SN if you want.

Joe: Ok.  He'll IM you, I think.

Erika: Does he know about the contest and that the date will be reviewed online?

Joe: Yeah, I sent him a link to the site; he’s stoked!

 

Phil: Well, I certainly hope I can give you a half decent date.  I don't do a whole lot of it, on account of I hate the silly games people play.  And I think we can relate on an intellectual level, which definitely gleans a thumbs up.

Erika: Yes, games do suck

Phil: But, from your website, I gather you feel in a similar way.

Erika: How do you mean?

Phil: Well, the two of us both enjoy reading and writing.  And we can communicate, which is hard to do, given the abundance of stupid people that populate the internet.

Erika: …and the world.

Phil: To a larger extent, yes.

Erika: Now, your break is next week?

Phil: Yes.  Yours, too?

Erika: Hmm, no.  I’ll be coming home that Friday.

Phil: Want to do the date that Friday then?  Which would be my birthday, which could be kinda weird, but I'm all for it.

Erika: Ok, I should be home by 6.

Phil: Well, I can give you my cell phone number and my home number, and we can talk.

Erika: Ok.

 

 

People going crazy:

Erik: Is it possible to enter Steve twice?

Erika: Yes.

Erik: Sweet.  Course this means I gotta plan somethin’, unless I partner with Paula.  It will be diabolical.

Erika: Paula doesn’t know new Jersey too well, but whatever.

Erik: She can give me ideas though.  It’s just a matter of who can plan better in the most probable case: Erica and Nathan or Paula and me, a little.

Erika: Well, it's also up to Steve, if he wants to be entered twice.

Erik: That could be a problem, I have a feeling he's going to win.  So if he enters only once, then I lose.

Erika: You people are going crazy!

Erik: Going?  Hey, I took this seriously since day 1.  Bah, you know you enjoy watching us go crazy.

 

 

More Joe madness:

Joe: Ok, I think I know this 1 other guy from New Brunswick who doesn't know any of your friends.  His name’s Phil, went to Cherokee.  Everyone else I'd say, your people would know them.

Erika: Ok.  Is that a problem?

Joe: No, that’s not a problem.

Erika: Ok, Phil.

Joe: I'll have to talk to him.  He’s sleeping now.
