But many guys did a variety of commercials. Are you saying I talk like someone selling Reese's Puffs or Mountain Dew? Or life insurance? A car?

At any rate. I can perform physical labor. I can complete chores. I can capture spiders indoors and release them outdoors. I can give you 4 ibuprofen in exchange for 2 batteries. If you are willing to trade on credit, in a week I will have moonshine to trade, into which I will put a nice piece of fruit.

[...] I sometimes have difficulty understanding what people say. Especially if there are intervening noises in the background. So I try to speak clearly for others in case they experience the same. [...] So you are correct in that I try to enunciate.

Model? I should tell you, I do not think we are remotely the same size. But I am amenable. I enjoy dresses and skirts. In fact, I regret not being a priest for many reasons, but wearing a cassock is definitely among those.

In your experience do people usually not "vibe" in person the same way they do over text?

Oh, the sword woman. Yes, this is a good deal to me. When do you need a model? [...] And what is frogging?

Interesting. I do try to present the best version of myself, but there is just this sole version across in-person and text. It would be too hard to maintain more than that, I think.

Oh you knit. I hear it is a very methodical and relaxing hobby. How long have you been knitting?

If you say so. I understand you also present yourself in person similarly to how you present over text. I remember you from the party and the lassoing class. You were cheering.

Your mother took you to her work? What did she do?

Indeed. [...] C]:^)

Ah. Ophelia's mother worked in a restaurant. There was also no pop in the household. To be clear, Ophelia's mother was my mother, too. We seem to share a few things in common.

Thank you. He is me. C]:^| This is my current facial expression. It looks severe but it is just how I appear when I am actively paying attention. Plus a bowler hat. S:~D I designed this one just now for you. It’s not as accurate because I do not fully recall what you look like, but I remember you had a great quantity of hair that did not appear to be fully brushed.

I am glad to hear you have family/someone you are close to. And yes, I also wanted to say that when my mother brought me to one of her jobs, she instructed me to read so I would not disturb her. What kind of restaurant did your mother run?

C]:^) S:~[ This is you focusing on determining whether accessories will need to be frogged while I stand in as your model. [...] I do not know why I feel particularly whimsical right now. Apologies.

A bit of everything. At one point I was very attracted to an encyclopedia set bound in blue leather, and my grandparents bought it for me for a birthday. I read that. My school library carried a periodical called Weird... But True! that I also enjoyed reading. It was like National Geographic for children.

That is a very clever and funny name. I laughed. Do you know how to barbeque as well?

Oh. Because I do not always know the right time to be whimsical or not.

A pig cannot look up, which means a pig cannot see the sky without assistance. I always thought this was very sad.

Hm. Perhaps. Although I would hate to waste your resources when you are already giving me so many batteries. What do you like to make? Perhaps I can share some of my harvest allotment, if the ingredients align.

Hah. If we get Whitney wind power, you can put your custom emoji on the jumbotron.

I do not know if pigs are aware of what they are missing. One of the benefits of ignorance, I suppose.

We do have cheese. I will bring some. I can eat cheesy pasta or cheesy bread, whichever you prefer, although I believe I prefer cheesy bread over pasta. [...] Are carbohydrates your favorite? I am just asking out of curiosity.

No. [...] He's sensitive.

One of the great pleasures of life is a warm carbohydrate in the mouth.
