- [color=#ff0000]FE: Hello. I've always liked your blog I just wanted to say that.[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: Oh?[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: Well, thank you very much[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: I... seem to be at a disadvantage, may I ask who this is?[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: Oh[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: I'm the person who runs the blog about urban exploration[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: Oh! Yes yes[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: You haven't posted anything in a while so I had forgotten your username[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: I do apologize[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: Ah you do remember! I didn't really expect you to so there's no need to apologize[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: I still feel somewhat guilty[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: Especially since I do appreciate the pictures that you post there[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: Such landscapes are hard to come by around my abode[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: I could say the same about what you post about, but I have to add a corollary that life finds a way and I like finding a hardy moss in the middle of abandoned run down locales[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: Hmm... most of the woods nearby is old growth so I can't say the same unfortunately[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: I think this location was picked due to the fact it is so far away from everything else[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: That sounds wonderful being so peaceful. Is it peaceful? Because I could easily be wrong about that[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: It is I suppose[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: Aside from the shifting seasons not much else changes here[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: Well... and the flowerbeds I too. I do rearrange those every once in a a while[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: Peaceful can get boring when it is around for too long but the plants do keep me busy enough that it doesn[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: 't grate on me.[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: From another perspective everything decays. Keeping the same, maintaining existence takes energy. That's life. [/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: I... see[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: May I ask how it is like living in a big city?[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: I have not been to any aside from brief visits[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: I imagine it is not too hard to keep busy in a place with so many possible tasks[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: You'd be surprised. It's hard to find some uninterrupted peace, but staying busy usually takes money and or friends[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: Well I hope I don't seem too foolish asking these questions[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: I don't seem to have learned much in my brief visits to cities and I do appreciate learning new things[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: Well in that case I might be an excellent guide. I consider myself an excellent observer of city life. I do that a lot, watching everyone go by it's really interesting[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: That does seem like it would be[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: If I tried that I don't think I would work out quite as well with the deficiency of people around here[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: Of course. But you can enjoy the solitude at least[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: It is rather easy to avoid others out here[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: Hmm...[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: hmm?[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: While it was nice speaking to you I must be going[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: I do hold myself to a schedule and my next task is approaching quickly[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: Oh, that's perfectly fine. The nice thing about the internet that it's easy avoids others on it too[/color]
- [color=#bacece]DH: Farewell for now[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: Goodbye[/color]

- [color=#40661a]PP: hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm aha i believe i do youre the one who told me to stop talking to them although that accounts for a lot of people[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: you also disappeared out of nowhere so i assumed you died[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: That's horrible. You could have at least made some more positive assumptions. Like me having found better people to talk to[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: i cannot dream of the impossible[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: thats like saying i shouldnt be trying to eradicate the insects in this house due to their horrible color scheme[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: I could have been on an exciting adventurous roadtrip with no internet, or embroiled in a conspiracy and not being free to talk, or I could have been taking care of a sick grandmother and too busy to talk to internet people.[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: Or I could have just wanted to be left alone.[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: given what you have previously yelled at me for i can only assume it must be the latter option because you caring for a sick grandmother sounds far too PATRIOTic[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: thats not meant to be rude by the way those are just the facts[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: You remember how I said the american flag has too many colors in it[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: yes and you remember my assertation that only a communist anarchist or possible liberal could insist that three colors are too many[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: you have still not confirmed your political leanings which is very unfortunate[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: I can accept the grey, white, and light grey banner. It's a matter of aesthetics not politics, which I have a hard time caring about beyond what selfishly effects me[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: how on earth is grey white and light grey a good aesthetic that sounds horrible its not even communist[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: two of those are almost the same color for the nsas sake[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: Actually the white would never be one hundred percent clean so they're all the same color[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: so your ideal flag is all one color with nothing that would stand out screaming freedom or any actual ideology at all[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: Are you trying to get symbolic about this? If you want something that screams out ideology get an animal. Like a two headed bear[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: the point of a flag is to express symbolism how would all grey or a mutant bear for that matter express anything at all[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: are you sure youre a real AMERICAn[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: Are you asking for my birth certificate?[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: why would i ask for that information when we both know the government already has it[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: Are you sure? They wouldn't if I wasn't a real American[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: never underestimate the amount of treaties regarding security regulation and foreign espionage that AMERICA must violate to protect its borders[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: So are you just that sure that if I was an alien, the government would have already dealt with me and I would not be talking to you?[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: oh dont be silly[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: AMERICA has far more important things to deal with than an antisocial person with apparent colorblindness[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: You know I was going to try to apologize for staying out of contact for so long but I'm glad that we've been able to take off just where we left[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: the keyword there was try wasnt it[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: Yes[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: see im already learning your mannerisms and youre welcome for maintaining the high quality of our hilarious conversations[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: clearly we were meant to be[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: the fabled[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: best friends[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: No[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: yes[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: Don't, we're not even regular friends[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: do not deny whats inside[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: are you absolutely sure[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: because you contacted me first off that automatically means friendships[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: It's better than trying to get in touch with complete strangers[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: Because worked out badly I got flirted at[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: *Because that worked out[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: ew[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: who did you try to talk to[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: Okay let's see, chumhandle was carelessCoryphee[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: oh you met cici[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: she does that with everyone[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: its almost charming[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: until it gets worrisome[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: Small world then. I don't think I can deal with that but it's nice to know I wasn't special[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: yes it is very good to remain humble otherwise your ego might start expanding[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: also you can totally deal with it[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: just respond to all tildes with negative comments[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: Is that your legitimate advice on how to be social or a comment on me? I really can't tell[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: then my enigmatic nature is only improving[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: also its the first thing you chucklehead[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: I'm going to take your advice with a pince of salt. Like most of your advice. Not that I actually take any of it in the first place.[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: why must you insulate yourself from my quality teachings my only desire to make you a better PATRIOT or at least a better citizen[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: That is probably exactly why I insulate myself from your teachings[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: your heart is so cold[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: it is like ice[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: this is a metaphor just to clarify[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: If I was in a band I would use those lines for lyrics[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: im pretty sure thats an insult since those two lines are almost as cliche as believing in the power of friendship[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: Cliches are overused for a reason[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: because people are very bad at being creative right[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: Because people are bad at change and the same patterns keep repeating themselves[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: yeah so theyre not creative[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: its okay to agree with me iron[/color]
- [color=#40661a]PP: its a natural urge[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: Actually pressing that nice little x box at the top of this window is my natural urge and you know what I'm going to press it. I'll still be around, but if I disappear again I can't guarantee I'll remember to give you advanced warning.[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: But I can try to remember[/color]

- [07:16] [color=#4264ff]SS: then[/color]
- [07:16] [color=#4264ff]SS: watch a disney move called atlantis the lost empire[/color]

- [07:24] [color=#4264ff]SS: it even fits the movie motif![/color]

- [07:41] [color=#4264ff]SS: a d v e n t u r e[/color]
- [07:46] [color=#ff0000]FE: You want adventure? How about the top of a skyscraper on levels only touched by maintainence people since it was created[/color]
- [07:46] [color=#4264ff]SS: eh that's more of an adrenaline junkie thing isn't it?[/color]
- [07:46] [color=#4264ff]SS: i mean where's the adventure in that?[/color]
- [07:47] [color=#4264ff]SS: going out in places you don't know, though, and mapping shit out; that's adventure[/color]
- [07:48] [color=#ff0000]FE: People have already been everywhere before. People have already mapped area. What you can do is go to places abandoned and forgotten by others[/color]
- [07:54] [color=#4264ff]SS: That too, but there's plenty of places not actually mapped out[/color]
- [07:54] [color=#4264ff]SS: Granted they're really dangerous[/color]
- [07:55] [color=#4264ff]SS: but hey, most modern mapping is just by flying miles above in the sky and noting the top stuff[/color]
- [07:55] [color=#4264ff]SS: the bottom stuff is all a mystery~[/color]
- [08:09] [color=#ff0000]FE: That might work in a fantasy movie, but there's plenty more to explore in the real world that isn't touched by flying miles high and with satalites. You want to look into the details, and there are an infinite levels of smaller details all the way down to a pattern of weathered bricks. And since all things change and decay, it doesn't take much to find something no one else has seen before even in[/color]
- [08:09] [color=#ff0000]FE: your own neighbourhood. Even on a busy street because people walk with their eyes closed and never think to look under the rock they pass by every day.[/color]
- [08:12] [color=#4264ff]SS: while that's true in some towns[/color]
- [08:12] [color=#4264ff]SS: that's not the case in most[/color]

- [08:16] [color=#ff0000]FE: But okay, you've got me, I'll watch the movie[/color]
- [08:17] [color=#ff0000]FE: And maybe I'll talk to you about it but I can't make promises I won't get lost along the way[/color]

- [color=#4264ff]SS: see[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: sometimes all it takes is wild abandon and listening to strangers' advice[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: good on you![/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: Wild abandon and a stranger's advice? You make it sound like something dangerous. Like growing a heart of childhood wonder is something life threatening. Which isn't what happened for the record. It was a very fun movie. Is that the idea? Are you fanboy?[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: nah i just felt like bringing a bit of funny irony in the situation from another perspective[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: glad you liked the movie![/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: and see, that's an adventure[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: an adventure isn't just exploration[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: an adventure grows you, and helps mold you into a better person[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: you learn stuff[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: like life lessons and a bunch of neat stuff that's going to help you in the future[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: you gain something from it, essentially, but not really of the physical kind[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: it's as the saying goes[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: "no adventure is quite the same"[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: You do know those are just the rules of narrative causality right? It's not really fair to compare that to what actually happens when I go out into the world.[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: i'm just playing devil's advocate here[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: you and i have our own adventures[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: yours are more out in the world and physical[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: mine are more literal and mental[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: i mean, it beats paying too much attention to the shit i do on a regular basis[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: not that it's an escape or anything[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: i don't "run away" from stuff[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: For the record I haven't asked you about your personal stuff and I'm not obligated to return... emotional honesty is it?[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: some people run their mouths[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: its a thing[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: Oh I know, even in public with lots of people around[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: man for someone supposedly being pretty adventurous you're not really that exciting to prod conversation out of[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: you're pretty reserved[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: which i guess isn't a bad thing[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: it's good to be reserved at times[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: but it is kinda funny the adventurous type prefers not to explore the wild wonders of fluid conversation[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: Okay, maybe you goaded me into claiming to be adventurous by touching on my hobbie. It's really more introspective exploration in finding a spot that resonates with a certain energy and meaning. I can't drop everything and go on a "real" adventure like a motorcycle roadtrip or underwater excavation[/color]
- [color=#ff0000]FE: If I've ever claimed I have then I was stretching the true[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: woah woah woah[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: woah[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: woah[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: hold on there[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: there's no implications here[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: and adventures don't have you "drop everything"[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: the movie's a good allegory for what makes a journey an adventure[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: did you learn something? did it change your perspective or add another? did you have fun in the end?[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: that's what matters the most[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: sure it may not be an ADVENTURE[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: but it's still an adventure nonetheless if those were met[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: it's just in a smaller sense[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: besides, you never know[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: you might end up on one hell of an adventure in the future[/color]
- [color=#4264ff]SS: ok yeah that stupid shit aside[/color]
