anything???

this is crazy

 

James Elliott says (20:22)

yay

don't think u ever accepted me  

Cassie says (20:22)

i did cause you were on my list and everything

James Elliott says (20:22)

hmmm I'll let you off

u ok?

Cassie says (20:23)

I'm fine, just worried about things between you and Ed

Ed has told me he's a little confused about the entirity of the problem...is there a problem?

James Elliott says (20:24)

no problem as such. don't really wanna talk behind his back. is he cool with this?

Cassie says (20:24)

yeah he is, he's expressly asked me

James Elliott says (20:24)

ok cool.

James Elliott says (20:25)

just surprised by a couple of things today that's all

but I understand he spent a week in bed, and now he's catching up.

gonna happen, and I do understand that

just lots of pressure on both of us today it seems

I have lazy weeks too

Cassie says (20:25)

what's happened today that surprised you? lets take this one at a time

James Elliott says (20:26)

ok, came back to a BOMB SITE. I know we're not always the tidiest, but omg, the state of my room, the kitchen, and my bathroom where a site to behold. Again, not a problem in itself. Just wanted to chat to ed about it. Hasn't been able to spare me 5 mins all day, apart from when he wanted to give me instructions to post something to him.

James Elliott says (20:27)

I gather something harry is involved with

again, can't get it out of him

too busy

Cassie says (20:28)

Alright, as for messiness, things probably wouldve been tidier if we weren't rushing to leave and that's kinda my fault as I got us up too late and pushed it timewise, so I apologise

James Elliott says (20:28)

not your fault. you didn't rearrange my room

Cassie says (20:28)

and honestly, Ed has been working practically none stop since we got back to York

James Elliott says (20:28)

I doubt anyway? lol

I don't doubt that

Cassie says (20:28)

So I haven;t had much time either

James Elliott says (20:29)

I offered help all last week when he was in bed. Wanted to wait. Then we agreed to work as a partnership. Told everyone. First think I hear today. He's out of a deal with harry. Then he's back in, and I'm out. Now he's not sure. But doesn't have time to explain anything

Cassie says (20:30)

Yep, he's feeling rather pressured and tbh, when we were travelling back he was particularly pissed off and forgetting things and such, and I had caused him to miss someone online that he really needed to talk to

Cassie says (20:31)

whom he's now talked to

James Elliott says (20:31)

I know he's stressed cass, that's why it's cool. But it's not going to make me not mention it. And to be fair, I've been trying to raise things calmly all day. It just boiled over about 30 mins ago

Cassie says (20:31)

No, I understand completely why you'd want to bring things up and thats fair

James Elliott says (20:32)

Have you noticed the actual "damage" to this place. The bathroom was no-one's fault, forget that. Nearly everything in ed's room that belongs to me, is burned in some way or stained.

he made explosives the other day in the kitchen. burned the living room table

still not cleaned

I can have NO-ONE round who knows me

James Elliott says (20:33)

because of these things

I love him, don't get me wrong, but today or all days with my Dad & all, I just expected to come back to at least a room that I left

not a bomb site with more of my stuff strewn everywhere

Cassie says (20:34)

ofc, I will admit, we did chill in your room when I finally woke up saturday

James Elliott says (20:34)

just got too much for me today, because all I wanted is for him to read an email about my dad. he's been promising all day that's all

nothing else mattered, just the straw that broke the back ya know

James Elliott says (20:35)

I accept ed for ed, and he accepts james for james

it's how it is.

just today was a bad day, and he couldn't have been more absent or dismissive of things that he really should have been apologising for

Cassie says (20:35)

yeah, Ed is saying the same things, many other things are getting to him and he's under the pressure and you are too with your family and all that

He is very sorry for the mess of the flat

James Elliott says (20:35)

Let me tell you about this 2cb deal specifically

forget the mess

James Elliott says (20:36)

I;m confused on this, so perhaps you can get an answer

Cassie says (20:36)

okay... i know about the cottage thing that you 3 were gonna do

James Elliott says (20:36)

ok, that was just part of it.

It started ages ago when between them (don't know who's idea it was) they decided harry was going to make 2cb

James Elliott says (20:37)

I was never involved

barley knew about it until it had happened

in fact, never taken the stuff

Cassie says (20:37)

it was Harry's idea I have just been told

James Elliott says (20:37)

no doubt

ed would always try and give advice

harry would resist

to and fro

ed offered advice for free

James Elliott says (20:38)

harry would resist

harry then failed and begged ed for help

Cassie says (20:38)

this much I know

James Elliott says (20:38)

when it actually came down to it, it turned out that ed's advice was, let's use james' knowledge of the scene and taking things to market. He admitted this. This was when he said about the partnership. Great, I thought, something we can all do together with our own parts to plau

James Elliott says (20:39)

this morning, Ed's out

doesn't want to get involved. he's no good dealing with people, and harry wants a two-way partnership

oh, ok I said.

wanted to chat further, but ed had no time

later, ed has a breakthrough with a us vendor

James Elliott says (20:40)

he says well, since harry only really wants to work with one other person, ya know

aka, I'm out

of something I was never really in

now I raise it in conversation, and he's not sure what harry wants

just 1 out of 1000 things he's handling and it's clear why things are like this

Cassie says (20:41)

just one sec

James Elliott says (20:41)

he needs to nail 100 things, rather than fail at 900, and do the rest averagely well. and he needs my help, but doesn't take it

I need his help too

but he's too busy to give it, because he doesn't take my help!!!

vicious circle

PV doesn't help either, for both of us

gotta say

and I'm more worried about harry

James Elliott says (20:42)

he injected it the other night you know (please don't say anything to him). ed knows

and I do feel as if Ed, when in a certain mood, pushes it a little bit on him. To be fair, when he dangled it at him the other night, he realised straight away and apologised

James Elliott says (20:43)

but, we need to forget age with our friends

and be responsible

ed's as mature as me

harry isn't

nor is jack

Cassie says (20:44)

okay... Ed wanted to get you involved, yknow cause he thought it would make you happy and from the sounds of things, it did

James Elliott says (20:44)

oh BOLLOCKS

tell him to rethink that one

he asked for my help coz he'd run out of ideas

he'd bigged it up to harry, and all he had at that point was one fellar who wasn't really interested

James Elliott says (20:45)

I can bring up the chat log if you want. I hinted that if he simply wanted advice, no problem. if he wanted me to be actively involved, I'd want  small cut

he then realised about this partnership thing

Cassie says (20:45)

just stop there for a sec please...two conversations

James Elliott says (20:46)

now if he's saying that was all for my benefit, then he was either a liar then, or mistaken now

just get him to tell me what he wants me to do with harry and the 2cb

his choice

always was

James Elliott says (20:47)

is now

but don't change with the wind please

pissing me off

Cassie says (20:47)

I'm playing messenger here, I'm not trying to change the wind at all.

Ed says he seriously doesnt know but he hopes harry makes some money from it

James Elliott says (20:48)

dear god. when did ed sleep cass (don't ask him, just tell me)?

Cassie says (20:48)

not last night, night before

James Elliott says (20:48)

hmm ok.

worried

Cassie says (20:48)

he will be sleeping tonight

James Elliott says (20:48)

ok simple question

James Elliott says (20:49)

he's told me three things today about the harry deal. I need him to pick one ok? (1) He's out because he can't deal with people very well? (2) I'm out because he suddenly found a hot new link, and the whole people thing doesn't matter anymore; (3) He hasn't got a clue, and the first two stories were just a symptom of his overloaded brain atm....

James Elliott says (20:50)

too much on

too many people pulling him in different directions?

I UNDERSTAND

James Elliott says (20:51)

I have things that are bad habits too. But he needs to let me know what to say to Harry. I can't ignore the subject, and we're about to look like idiots

James Elliott says (20:53)

Also, there's a LOAD of cloak and dagger between harry and ED's friend Joel

they're cooking up all kinds of shit, which harry is likely to be left with, unable to sell.

James Elliott says (20:54)

Ed needs to have it out with Joel. Harry's using bromine in his bedroom

nearly killed him. twice

once with ed coming round to join in the chemistry (albeit after the very dangerous part)

James Elliott said (20:55)

that was the night he came back and made explosives

now I'm glad he's found a new passion (seriously, I am), but they're not indifferent in their approach to things

wait to get stung then think about what to do differently next time

James Elliott said (20:56)

scares the shit out of me

ed's mixing bleach and other cleaning products. It CLEARLY contributed to skin irritation, twice. Mainly for him, but me a bit too.

trying to clean pipes

James Elliott said (20:57)

BLEACH

and then smoking it afterwards

I'm worried cass and I don't know how to tell him or help him when he clearly doesn't respect my opinion on things

James Elliott said (20:58)

Ed always told me that Harry was more 'in control' than I realised

I always said bollocks

now our views are completely reversed

harry is playing Ed for a bit of a fool I think (and me, to an extent, but I don't have any of these business dealings)

James Elliott said (20:59)

harry and joel are cooking A LOT of shit up (or plan to).

harry REFUSED to help me one night when I really needed a chemical mind

claimed he knew nothing about chemicals

you should have heard his discussion with Joel. He was teaching Joel stuff. Ask Ed if he believes that?

James Elliott said (21:09)

if you're still there, which it doesn't look like, I need to sign-off and get all my forms filled in for tomorrow at the job centre. trying to get the rent paid for the next 3 months by the council. Not easy. Also gonna have to deal with an inspection at some point. Listen, I love ed to bits, and without his income recently, we'd have been fucked. Not trying to sound ungrateful.

But I need this flat, and in particular the things I've spent years paying for an collecting to be treated more carefully.

mess is one thing. damage is different

James Elliott said (21:10)

and tell Ed I honestly don't know who has seemed more reckless with chemicals recently, him or harry. I honestly couldn't tell you.

This is worry, not criticism or anger.

Worry
