hey carter.
how are you, other than bored?

oh, sorry if it takes me a minute to type, i think i broke my wrist. surprise, surprise, eh?

[carter]

heyyyy, jason. how are things across the street?
i'm waiting on my wife to pick out a dress. we're supposed to be going out to dinner and then to lamaze class, but she's taking forever. you know how women are. especially when they have new clothes. it's like they can't pick.
she just asked who i was talking to and now she wants to know which you think is better, not kidding. aqua or floral print.
dude, how did that happen? it sounds painful.
oh yeah, and leah wanted me to invite you and anabel over this weekend. she wants to do dinner i think.

[jason andrew irving]

things...have been better i guess you could say.

oh man, have fun with that. new clothes do make it hard to choose. even i've had trouble with that myself. hah. lamaze class? what's that?

umm i dunno, i can't see them. i think it depends on what shoes she's wearing. haha.

well to make a long story short i fell down the steps, tried to catch myself and landed on my hand. not fun.

thanks for the invite, but it'd just be me. or you could call ana and invite her, either way, both of us can't make it, sorry.

[carter]

heh, i'm not much of a clothes guy. i didn't even know people wore things other than flannel before i came to america for college. i've actually been considering the nudist colony option, but i don't think the wifey wants to raise the kids that way...

eh, lamaze is a child birthing method, the one with the drugs, by request of leah, haha. you know how women always breathe weird in movies? yeah, that's lamaze. it's a lot of heavy breathing and positions and saying soothing 'distracting' things. ok, that sounded more like i'm trying to get in her pants than have a baby, but whatever.

she says you're about as helpful as i am, haha. i think she's going with the teal one though. for some reason she keeps trying to hide her cute little baby bump.

owww, that does sound painful. didn't you just have surgery like a month ago? i think i'm starting to understand your screen name, haha.

oh man, i'm sorry. that's rough. well you're still welcome since you're our neighbor and all though.

[jason andrew irving]

living in a nudist colony would make getting up in the morning a million times easier. no need to worry about what you're going to wear and all...

so where are you guys going to eat?

aw man, i'm jealous. at this rate i'm never going to get to do any of that fun stuff.
haha carter, just admit that's what you're trying to do.

but i think baby bumps are cute! like i said, i'm jealous.

yes i did and that's why i'm not planning on going back to get this thing looked at. they're not cutting me open again. bleck.

i suppose i could, i mean, i'm not the most happy-go-lucky person right now, but it could be fun. besides, i wanna see leah's little baby bump haha.

[carter]

god help me, but we're going to kentucky fried chicken. again. that's all she wants to eat anymore. you know how small she is? yeah, she can eat an entire bucket of extra crispy chicken in one sitting. and we're vegetarians, or were anyway. i think it's safe to say my baby won't be. haha.

oh, don't sweat it, man. i didn't even know leah when i was in college. and anyway, unless you really like waking up to the sound of puking i wouldn't rush it. but i'm not going to lie, it is awesome, especially when you've been wanting it as long as we have.

welll, duh. i didn't marry her cause i liked her. juuuuusssstttt kidding.

haha, they are. preggie women are yummy. this one's mine though, you'll have to get your own. haha.

oooh. well i guess i can't blame you but i mean, will it heal ok? personally, i like having a wrist that isn't permanently at a forty-five degree angle, but you know, that's just me.

sweet, that means one less night of watching leah down an entire chicken. the whole knawing on a dead animal thing kind of grosses me out, but i guess if you grew up like i did that's kinda normal.

oh, and just a warning, my wifey really enjoys playing matchmaker, so i apologize if she tries to press one of her co-workers on you. i wouldn't worry about it though, because she really sucks at it, haha.

[jason andrew irving]

haha aww. i bet that’s interesting to watch. i’ve heard that they do crave odd things when they’re preggers, but i guess that’s kind of understandable.

i definitely want to wait until i actually have a real job to have kids, i don’t want to bum money off of my parents for the rest of my life. i’ve done that enough now. but i really can’t wait, it’s got to be really exciting.

i guess i understand why you don't want to share. i'll just go find some random girl at one of the clubs and knock her up...
nottttt really. that's kind of gross now that i think about it. we will just have to forget i said that.

ugh i hope so. it seems to be okay, just painful. maybe i do need to get it looked at. erg, i’m not crazy about that place at all anymore. i’ve always spent a lot of time there, just not like in the past few months. actually, i don’t think i had an overnight stay until i moved here. then i was stuck in there for a week.

haha i really can’t picture her doing that. and when you put it that way, i kind of want to be a vegetarian. hahaha. she’s not going to freak out if she sees my wrist will she? or should i suffer through getting it poked and prodded so she won't fuss over it?

mmm. i’m not really interested in a relationship right now, but if it makes her happy i suppose i could sit through a few random dates. it’s not like it’ll kill me, right? well, with my luck… hahaha kidddding.

[carter]

haha, yes they do. i caught her downing guacamole the other night at two in the morning. and she can't even look at broccoli without wanting to hurl. it's definitely strange. i'm just glad its not me.

oh yes, it definitely is. i think when he or she actually gets here will be the only thing that tops how excited i was when she actually told me.

heh, well, i'm kind of a marriage sorta guy, but you know. whatever makes you happy. being my sappy self it's the whole love thing that makes it so amazing.

haha, maybe you should get out of salt lake. it seems to be bad for you. just don't go to canada. my funnest injuries were there. bulls aren't very nice creatures... i love the hospital food though. i don't know why they don't sell that orange juice in a cup stuff at the grocery store.

maybe you'll have to come to kfc some time with us. i keep hoping they'll have some kind of chicken eating contest she can enter in to pay for the nursery or something. i'd put my money on her anyday.

heh, i'm not like a peta fanatic or anything. my dad always thought a good summer activity for me when i was a teenager was gutting cattle since aparently that's what real men do. yeah, you kind of don't want a hamburger after that, or at least i didn't. i guess i'm just a wuss.

mmm, i don't know. i'd wear a jacket or something if it looks bad. the whole mothering thing is kicked into overdrive lately.

yeah, i understand, man. she might not try anything, considering. i mean, i'm guessing you and ana were close, and she gets the whole tough break up thing. although if you want to be safe maybe you should keep that wrist, haha.

[jason andrew irving]

i can’t imagine what it’d be like to have those weird cravings. i’m already odd enough, i don’t need anything else to add on to that. i guess i see why you’re glad it’s not you.

i was the marriage sort of guy, too, but i guess it just wasn’t the right person. some people are just lucky and you’re one of them. you and leah both, you're adorable. me, well, i think my record speaks for itself. i don’t really have luck. hahaha

i’ve been thinking about leaving, actually. i came out here after my relationship back home in new york went bad. i dunno, i keep hoping ana’ll come back, but since it’s all my fault we’re no longer together, i highly doubt it. why would she want to come back to me? haha, sorry, i’ll stop my self-pity there.

oh hospital food. i’m not quite sure what to say about it. new york's was half way decent, but then again, the hospital i was usually at there was in the big apple where everything was crazy good.

haha maybe i’ll pitch in on the whole betting thing. if she can really eat as much as you say she can, i’m sure she’d win.

you’re not a wuss, that’s disgusting. i was never really around cows except for the county fair, i was the horse kid. yeah, when you’re accident prone, that’s not the greatest hobby. surprisingly enough, i never broke any bones with that…

alright, long sleeves it is. and drugs before i leave the house. haha

we were close for sure. we were basically engaged even though i never technically proposed. confusing, i know.
yeah, it’s not fun even when you’re not the ass who caused it. though that does tend to make it worse.

[carter]

eh, in general i don't get why women want to go through all that. if i was a chick i would so not be having kids.

no don't leave! what if the people that buy your house are like ax murderers? and plus i'm already counting on you for babysitting, haha. but seriously, dude, you can't just keep running. i mean at some point you gotta, you know, face it. if i had left l.a. after leah dumped me we wouldn't be married now. i really didn't think i'd get her back and next thing i know we're making out in a graveyard. you just don't know what's going to happen. a relationship takes more than just luck.

really? you were a horse person. haha, same here. i was big into it, did all the jumping and stuff. i actually thought i was going to make a career out of it, but it just didn't work out. i can't believe you never broke anything though. i nearly killed myself a couple of times. i'm not exactly a klutz, but between that and track and dad's cows i was almost as accident prone.

you know, i just got to say, it can get worse. i lost my fiancée, my child, and my job in around three days time. it works out. if she means that much to you, i'd have a little more faith.

[jason andrew irving]

thedangermagnet

hahaha we have the easy job.

well i suppose if babysitting’s involved, i’ll stick around. hahaha. no, i know what you mean about running, but it’s so much easier than sticking around. i figure if i do pick up and leave i’ll put off the whole relationship thing so i don’t have to do it again. i always wonder if i had stayed in new york if i’d be with my ex now. we were together for two whole years but we didn’t know how to fight, if that makes any sense, so when we did get into a serious argument, it was over.
now, that’s a love story, making out in a graveyard. haha.
oh yes, i’ve had four failed relationships now. not as much as some people, but i’m not the kind to just date around for no apparent reason, either. the only part luck played in the first two was me leaving private school to go to the public school where i met the girls and then with dahlia and ana, me coming here of all places.

i jumped, too! i was actually really good at it and my horse and i made a great team. she was so stubborn at times, though. i swear i had better balance on horseback than i do on my own two feet, but she did toss me off quite often. i miss her, but my little brother’s riding her now. hmm i never really considered it as a career. i guess it’s because the whole medical things in my family so i always figured i’d do something like that. oh, i didn’t break anything but i had a few concussions. one time she stopped in front of a jump, i went right over her head and my back landed on the pole and i wasn’t allowed to get up, i had to wait for the ambulance to get there in case i broke my spine or something. hahaha.

wow, that’s rough, i’m sorry. i have no right to complain then, hah. you guys had another kid before this? i can’t begin to imagine what that’d be like. but in all honesty, if it weren’t for me being so stupid, we’d still be together. i suppose everything happens for a reason, even if we don’t like it, though.

[carter]

nah, i get that. first fights are tough. i had a girlfriend i just couldn't fight with. i kinda figure that means you're incompatible or something. if you can't scream at each other something is wrong, haha. and anyway, what kind of relationship doesn't have make-up sex? i would hate to miss out on that. juuust kidding. (but not entirely, haha.) and yes, making out in a graveyard is very romantic. you should try it sometime, heh heh.

ow, concussions suck. you can't even sleep without everyone thinking you're going to go into a coma. yeah, i've done the horse thing since i was a little kid. my parents use horses to herd cattle so i learned how to keep my butt in the saddle and follow my mom around and by the time i was ten they used me for slave labor, haha. when i started jumping it ticked my dad off because he thought it was girly, haha. jumping wasn't that bad injury wise... i met a wall once. my worse was getting bucked when i was thirteen and then getting ran over by a cow. that had me in the hospital for a while... but i had a cute nurse and i didn't have to go to school so it wasn't so bad.

uh yeah, sort of. keeli was leah's little sister that she had legally adopted when their adoptive parents were killed in a car wreck and she'd actually been keeli's main parent when their biological parents were alive since there was a big age difference and her parents weren't really good people. anyway, we got to that point in our relationship where we were practically inseperable and i was really close to keeli and i had this great chivalrous plan to marry leah and legally adopt keeli as my own since we were already a family in that weird way. so i asked leah to marry me and like an hour later keeli was in a car wreck. leah dumped me over this really crazy complex thing she has and then i got a pink slip soooo yeah. the week from hell. losing another kid would kill me.

dude, what'd you do that was so bad? i mean, unless you hit her or like cheated on her i don't see why you guys are so definitely over...

hmmm maybe that was our problem, we never tried the make-up sex. haha kidding. well, kind of, no make-up sex for us, but fighting was just awkward and making up was even more awkward. going nearly two years without any major arguments made it hard, it was like we got along too well most of the time.
and okay, i'll try it with that random girl from the club. we'll go to the cemetary first. pahaha. no. never. even when i'm drunk i don't do that.

oh, i know. and with my parents being doctors, even out of the hospital i couldn't rest without them watching over me. i started when i was fourteen and about a year later, my parents bought casey.
hmmm i suppose how jumping could seem 'girly' after all the western riding, i mean those tight pants and everything... haha. oh well, it's still fun. i liked the whole thrill of it, but it seems my life tends to be a thrill. with flashing lights and all.
oh goodness, a cow? yikes. that must have hurt. but cute nurses are really good. haha.

oh wow, that's hard, i'm sorry. i can't even imagine what that'd be like.

i'd never hit her...though i guess i did kick her in my sleep pretty good a few nights before. that's what happens with nightmares, i guess.

ughh that's the thing though. i didn't think i was cheating on her, that's something else i'd never do. it's kind of complicated, i guess. i'm going to skip the whole story leading up to the break because that's kind of another story within this story, but she said she thought we needed to take a break and she packed her things and moved in with her mom. i took it pretty hard and one of my friends came over a few days later because she was worried since i didn't text her back all weekend. well, she ended up kissing me and i took it way too far. i wasn't thinking, that was obvious. ana had come back to the house, for what i'm not quite sure, and when she walked into my room, well, dahlia was sitting on top of me half naked.

so yeah, we're done. there's no way she's coming back. oh, to make it even better, i had been seeing dahlia before i started dating ana and ana was already uncomfortable around her since she was still my best friend. so i hurt ana and my best friend to the point i'll probably never see either one of them again and then i fell down the steps and broke my wrist when i should have broken my neck.

[carter]

heh, í'm not much of a drinker, but it makes me insanely shall we say friendly? haha. i just can't really handle it. huh, never pictured you as a partier though...

i think it was the pants he hated. that and the fact that when he went with me to shows almost every other competitor was a girl. i always told him it gave me more opportunities to get a girlfriend and he would always snort and say he was surprised i didn't want a boyfriend instead, haha. he's old fashioned. and yeah, cows are painful. she got me in the spleen, which i guess is what you get when you take away their babies to make veal, heh.

oh snap dude... that would be bad. welll, if you really want to get out of salt lake maybe you should go to canada, haha. if you think salt lake is boring you have no idea.

well, i gotta go since leah's ready now. hey, if you ever want to watch the game or whatever let me know. i could use a break from all the baby stuff. see you this weekend.
