Tailight: Sorry to waste your time with these pointless ICQ messages, (It's the ubiquitous "wannabe" thing again) but I really need to just say somthing. Damn this dichotomy! (I can actually use the word in context now, excuse the spelling) Arrg! It tears me up inside!! This piece of paper in front of me, will it's revision solve my problems?And if it does, what about the dichotomy WITHIN the dichotomy I've created? No! Noooooooooo!!
Randall00: Er...um....what?

Tailight: You would never sell out your dignity for a blaze of "wannabe", dichotomy flare, would you? No, the world is a cruel place where the business cards of the most deserving get summarily roundfiled, but you, you are one of the compassionate ones...
Tailight: Can the world not coerce me to be the same??
Randall00: Probably. Be eccentric. That works for me.
Tailight: Arrg! I detest this maudlin charade which is my present existence, and yet I continue to roil in it like a contented pig, trying in vain to shield his mellanin-deficient skin from the scathing rays of the white-hot sun of reality!
Tailight: I should really get to my homework...

Randall00: Precisely. Go with the flow. On an unrelated subject, do you happen to know any good basslines that I can steal? Or modify and credit to myself?
Tailight: Basslines??
Randall00: Yes. Songs you know. The bass guitar equivalent to a 'riff'.
Tailight: Do I know any songs with good "basslines"?
Randall00: Yes. Such as 'U Can't Touch This,' which has a great bassline.
Tailight: Songs that I know? That make use of a bass guitar?
Randall00: Yes, that's correct.
Tailight: What would compell you to think that I would?
Tailight: I do not own any CD's.
Tailight: Or listen to the radio actively.
Tailight: Or play a bass instrument.
Randall00: Well yes, but at least you are musically knowledgable enough to acknowledge The Byrds as a band rather than a spelling error. I think.
Tailight: Or read "Bass Player" magazine.
Tailight: You spelled "Birds" wrong and capitalized a "t" in your last message...

Picture this: A short guy your age stands opposite to you on a sidewalk. He looks very sad and deprived of sleep. The grass along each side of the sidewalk is a lush green and there is a single tree, a large tree, providing some shade over the sidewalk. You look at the boy and he looks back at you, then bursting into tears. He buries his face in his palms and refuses to look back up at you. He stops crying for a moment, just for a moment, to look up at you. His cheeks are tearstained on on either side and his eyes are still watering. He holds his gaze, but drops to his knees. You look down upon him and he begins to cry harder, collapsing into a small curled up ball on the sidewalk. He cries harder and harder with his head between his knees rocking back and forth. Everytime he looks back at you he quickly turns away and cries again. You don't know him. You have never seen him before. But he cries because he can't be like you. He thinks you are beautiful. What do you do?

I leave him be and continue on to my home where I become depressed and sentimental.
