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 :-)
