WScranton8: so you might be my only friend pretty soon

MorganLaFey: I’m flattered, but why?

WScranton8: I’m thinking of moving

WScranton8: just something someone at work suggested

WScranton8: and it’s kind of stuck in my mind

WScranton8: but, you know, we only know each other through the internet, so you’re stuck with me :-P

MorganLaFey: lucky me :-D

WScranton8: I know, right?

MorganLaFey: seriously, I’m glad we’re friends

MorganLaFey: and that you can’t run away from me by something as simple as moving :-)

MorganLaFey: but this seems sudden

WScranton8: I guess, yeah

MorganLaFey: and anyway, I’m not sure you’re allowed to move

WScranton8: ?

MorganLaFey: have you checked your screenname lately?

WScranton8: :-P

WScranton8: we’ve already discussed this—you have no idea where I live ;-)

WScranton8: it’s our one rule ;-)

MorganLaFey: and if you’re going to talk to me about moving, you’re going to break it :-P

WScranton8: fine :-P

WScranton8: my lips are sealed

WScranton8: on that particular point at least ;-)

WScranton8: you should think of my Scranton as Springfield

WScranton8: you know, from the Simpsons?

MorganLaFey: yeah?

WScranton8: like, how they always threaten that they’re going to show it on the map, but keep faking you out

WScranton8: and it could be any of a million Springfields anywhere in the world

WScranton8: well, the US anyway

MorganLaFey: seems fair

MorganLaFey: and my lips are sealed too ;-)

MorganLaFey: anyway, you’re not allowed to move

MorganLaFey: we still need to get your hooked up with Normal Chick

WScranton8: not gonna happen

WScranton8: my moving was actually her idea

WScranton8: and she seems completely happy with her ogre of a boyfriend

MorganLaFey: I’m sure she didn’t mean it

MorganLaFey: I mean, you guys joke around all the time, right?

MorganLaFey: just like I do with Dear Friend?

WScranton8: we do

MorganLaFey: so there you go

MorganLaFey: if anything, it probably means she cares about you

WScranton8: come again?

MorganLaFey: today I told Dear Friend he ought to get a better job

MorganLaFey: but I didn’t do it because I wanted him to leave

MorganLaFey: I did it because he’s a dear friend, and I want him to be happy

WScranton8: I suppose that makes sense

WScranton8: but you weren’t there

WScranton8: it really hurt to have her act like me being there doesn’t matter to her

WScranton8: and she did take it back, but it still hurt

MorganLaFey: and I totally get that

MorganLaFey: Dear Friend didn’t realize that I didn’t mean it either

MorganLaFey: but we sorted it out

MorganLaFey: and I’m sure you and Normal Chick can too

WScranton8: wish I could agree

WScranton8: but you’ve talked me down off the ledge

MorganLaFey: good

MorganLaFey: I’m sure she didn’t mean anything by it

MorganLaFey: if she’s that important to you, I’m pretty sure you’re important to her too

MorganLaFey: I wish you’d figured things out like Dear Friend and I did

MorganLaFey: but there’s still time :-)

WScranton8: thanks :-)

WScranton8: any advice? ;-)

MorganLaFey: make sure she knows you’re OK?

MorganLaFey: and keep up the jokes

MorganLaFey: that way she’ll know you understand she doesn’t mean everything seriously either

WScranton8: good advice

WScranton8: so basically, business as normal, with a side order of smiling?

MorganLaFey: basically, yes

WScranton8: sounds doable

WScranton8: let me know how it goes with Dear Friend

WScranton8: wouldn’t want him to get too troubled

MorganLaFey: will do

MorganLaFey: but only if you let me know how Normal Chick is

MorganLaFey: I still think we can get the two of you together ;-)

WScranton8: Morgan La Fey!

WScranton8: are you suggesting I should break up an engagement?

MorganLaFey: not really

MorganLaFey: I wouldn’t do that, you know

MorganLaFey: I’m just saying that you seem so perfect for her, and her fiancé seems so…not

MorganLaFey: so I’m sure you can convince her to break her engagement all on her own ;-)

WScranton8: I know

WScranton8: just teasing

MorganLaFey: yeah, but I get what you’re saying

MorganLaFey: and no, I don’t think you should be a homewrecker

MorganLaFey: I just ship you guys ;-)

WScranton8: well, thanks for that

WScranton8: I’ll bear your support-without-consequences in mind :-P

MorganLaFey: you do that :-)
