    “Well technically I’m not, all my stuff is still at home …” She gestured to the still bare other half of the room, “but my brother and his buddies are throwing a huge party tonight and I figured I’d see if you wanted to go

    “Do you have a death wish? Don’t do that!” She’d better be happy I had still thought I was dreaming, growing up with my dad meant always being on the defensive when waking up

    Me - ‘I’m sure you’ll be fine Carter. Prokowski and Sanders seem to be taking it a little harder than most too … you can comfort each other ;) Or you can always take up one of the base skank’s offers. They’re sure to keep you better company than me.’
    J. Carter - ‘I think I got herpes just thinking about them.’
    Me - ‘Ha! Ew. I gotta go, Sir’s done loading up my bags in the car.’
