Me: Hey about that message titled "yum" I was really drunk when I wrote that. Just thought you shoudl know. I saw it and I'm really embarrassed by it :/
probably can't tell tho I spent like an hour editing it cuz I was so fucked up I couldn't make it make sense haha
----*----
HB: i didn't even read it silly! my messages are all fucked up so unless i'm online and chatting via IM i don't see what people send me
so you're all good
----*----
Me: Oh thank god!
----*----
HB:
no i really didn't!
and i could go back in the conversation and read it
but you just said you were embarrassed
i'm not going to make you feel uncomfortable!
that's fucked up
----*----
Me: I don't think you should
----*----
HB: smokey, i'll respect that. i promise never to go back and read it.
----*----
Me: really? where are you from again? You can't be from [our city] your too awesome
----*----
HB: i'm from [the city], but i was raised part time as a kid in san diego
i deleted the message's history
fresh start!
it's alright, even if i had been able to see it i wouldn't have judged you i know you aren't a fucking creep, i think you have an awesome personality
----*----
Me: Y not?
thanks
I think you did read it but don't wanna make me feel bad
Wow great
Thats what it is you left the black pit (referring to our town) for a while
----*----
HB: i wish i could get out again
for good.
----*----
Me: Yeah me too
but I want to see my niece grow up
----*----
HB: where would you go?
i want to see my brother graduate
----*----
Me: Well after wyoming I feel I'd wanna go south
----*----
HB: wyoming?
----*----
Me: Yeah I was gone during July and August in Wyoming
I was coal mining
Doing a real mans job for a real mans pay
I hear they might be opening one back up in town
for gold
----*----
HB: that's so crazy! coal mining is the epitome of a real man's job
you're brave!
----*----
Me: Yeah I was scared shitless the first day tho!
----*----
HB: i would have been too!
good money, though
----*----
Me: couldnt see a damn thing and rocks were falling around me
yeah
not as deadly as before but in the 2 months I was there I seen people get real messed up in accidents
You wanna know the messed up part though?
I was actually really sad when they fired me
----*----
HB: why is that?
----*----
ME: Well after the mine life just felt super boring without the constant adrenaline high. I even got depressed from adreanline withdrawl I guess
----*----
HB: would you go back to coal mining?
----*----
ME: In a heart beat
----*----
HB: then don't let another heartbeat pass you by!
go back to doing what makes you happy
life is too short
----*----
ME: I need money to do it tho
So I can relocate
----*----
HB: invest in yourself. take out loans
you know it will be worth it
otherwise you'll be stuck here
----*----
ME: No the lifestyle is hella draining though
its backbreaking work
----*----
HB: you would need a wife and family if you were a coal miner, huh
----*----
ME: for real tho can you imagine shoveling endless dirt for 12 hours a day?
Yes and no
----*----
HB: yes i can. i worked as the shopgirl for a tattoo shop
menial labor for almost free
----*----
ME: Um sweeping and shoveling are not the same
----*----
HB: you're right
i can sympathize but not fully understand
----*----
ME: No one can unless youve been there
and the people you work with are so hardened they dont really sympathize with anyone
the only good thing I got out of mining is money
----*----
HB: and character
----*----
ME: Yeah that to
----*----
HB: life experience
nobody else has that foundation!
----*----
ME: Im really not afraid of anything anymore
----*----
HB: isn't that a freeing feeling?
----*----
ME: Yes
greatest feeling ever to stare fear in the eye and say fuck it
(
----*----
HB: i say "fuck that" but close enough
----*----
ME: I mean to say "fuck you" but its all the same
So why did you say that I should know that your an expert shot? (referring to a post she made earlier on FaceBook in which she hit a squirrel with a rock and I teased her saying it was all luck)
----*----
HB: i was bragging, and trying to rhyme
that's all
lol
you just tell people im a great shot ok
----*----
ME: ok.. I mean yes your a regular sharpshooter
haha
----*----
HB: but really, i am a great shot
it's thanks to my pops having me play baseball as a little girl
----*----
ME: Oh ok
----*----
HB: he put me at third in a pinch, cause i was the only one on the team with the arm and accuracy to make the necessary throws
otherwise i was at second
lol
----*----
ME: I was actually playing baseball today with my lil bro
and after talking all that shit I realized I'm a crappy thrower unless I'm trying to himt someone
hit*
I cant throw the ball in a hittable area but i can hit any target running away from me haha
----*----
HB: i can do both, i've always loved shooting, too
----*----
ME: with a gun?
----*----
HB: yea
not like crazy
but shooting ranges
----*----
ME: sounds awesome
My shooting range is in the ghetto but a real range sounds cool too
Im kidding I havent shot a gun in forever
----*----
HB: mine wasn't in the ghetto but we'd take paintball rifles and shoot the shit when jessica (mutual friend we met through) stayed down the street from the music store
----*----
ME: nice
Are you single?
----*----
HB: yea i am single
i haven't had any luck with being un-single
so far, at least.
----*----
ME: what do you mean?
----*----
HB: i've been in relationships, that all end in me being cheated on
gets disappointing
----*----
ME: Wow. Your gorgeous and if I had you cheating would never cross my mind
----*----
HB: that's sweet, smokey
----*----
ME: can I take you out?
----*----
HB: of course you can
----*----
ME: Really? Wow I'm so happy right now

----*----
HB: i love metal!
----*----
ME: Ok so here's my plan. I'll drop by your place tomorrow and we'll go for a walk

----*----
HB: that sounds nice smokey

----*----
ME: nothing is cooler than calling yourself cool
----*----
HB: that's why i got the tattoo
----*----
ME: which is?
