So.

[ well hey, you guys, have a new face on the feed today. he's one of the new arrivals, trying to get used to this new space lifestyle!! which means friends are... probably a good thing. maybe. he's not sure yet, but he knows he needs to meet people. the ~general populace~, so to speak. ]

Space, huh?

[ wait no. he kind of frowns at that. worst opener. but then he considers all the posts that he's seen (memorized) since he's arrived and well, this ain't so bad. ]

I was... woooonnndering, uh. How many of you are from... New York City? Circa... 2011 or 2012. Ish.

[ man this is chalking up to be one of the most awkward experiences of his life. it's just-- this is like skype alright, except when you use skype you usually know who you're talking to-- here? way different. haha posting to a network, that's weird.

he is usually not this bad but you are also all strangers so. yeah. wait, here's a good idea. i mean, he has a lot of free time now so-- ]

Oh yeah and uh, does anyone know where I could get a camera? Thanks.

[ does he end the post now DOES HE END THE POST NOW he totally ends the post now! yes! good job, mike ross. you successfully completed the goal of posting a video post to the network. next time, maybe have an idea of what you want to talk about beforehand. ]

[ she's a regular comedienne. come on mike, you know you love her already. ]

And remind me, what does a film camera do? I think it records video, but maybe I'm wrong.

North. Finding people who are from the same time as you is harder than it looks. For the record.

[ uh-huh, sure ]

Okay, how abut this? I want a canon camera. That takes pictures! Dumb idea, I get it. Let's move on.

[ SIGH for some reason your text seems so judgmental of his existence and he hasn't even seen your face. he's vaguely reminded of donna. ]

Time as in months and dates, I'm guessing. 'Cause there's a few from the same year here.

Better! Much better and definitely not what you want to call a film camera. Otherwise we're all going to point out that you're using a camera. You tried though.

[ well. let's call her a mini-donna. it's okay, mike, she'll be gentle. ]

Are the worlds the same though? Even if you get the same months and dates there's no guarantee. Someone could live in a futuristic 2012.

I did try! So, totally over it now.

[ WHATEVER pictures aren't a cool hobby anymore let's move on ]

Who is the current President and do you have hover cars?

If only I had a gold star to give you.

[ but it's funny mike. ]

Obama of Yes We Can fame. And not yet. I didn't say I was the type to be living in it, did I?

[ ugh you!! ]

I was just checking. No harm in checking, right?

[ oh deal with it and lauve it!! ]

All the harm in checking. I'm not violent, not in the least bit, but people can be really touchy about telling you all these little details about themselves. Privacy and all that. I guess.

[ 8( ]

But I only asked who your President was and if you had hover cars. Those are plenty open to the public.

Not to some people. Maybe they like keeping their hovercars a secret. You never know.

Besides, were you just going to stop at those questions if I answered yes to the hover car question?

[ no ]

If you weren't up for it, I wouldn't have.

Want to guess how much I don't believe that considering, you know, asked a question in the first place and obviously, you're curious about things.

But you're the one making a big deal out of it!

You're the one getting really defensive over it when I just asked a question or two.

No no, you did because I asked normal questions and you just started mocking me.

Because the entire thing is kind of mock-worthy. I mean, were you trying to not have it be?

[ lydia. ]

You know, I bet you were a bully in high school.

I'm a sixteen year old girl. In high school. Are you going to call me Regina George next?

Oh. This conversation suddenly makes a whole lot more sense.

On my end. Not on yours. You were fighting with say it with me a teenage girl. Do you know what that says about you?

I didn't know you were a teenager nor a girl.

But you just said this conversation makes a lot more sense now that you know that that. So you obviously knew I probably wasn't an adult and that were arguing with someone who might not be in the same age group as you.

To steal a bit from ten two, ageism and sexism. You are just racking up the -isms with your ability to not do math. Why did Harvard even let you in?

Oh my god, no. Also, no. Again, nooooo. I'm not going to deal with this anymore.

You're gonna go through this again. Especially since I know math even better than he does.

Okay so you're 29. That's 11 years between 18, when you said you graduated and now. One of those years you've been working as an associate. So that's 10 years we have now. You said to ten-two that it was 2004 when graduated college. Which is wrong, by the way, if you graduated in 2001 from high school because graduations only happen in the spring for high school unless you're special and have the credits and jump through a billion different hoops and even then you would have said that you graduated in 2000 not 2001.

That means you graduated from college in 2005 in the spring. That leaves you six years to play with, and that's assuming you didn't mess up and have retake any classes and also assuming you didn't go to school in the summer which considering you mention scholarships, you didn't because working was more important. Standard law degree, the J.D. or Juris Doctor is a three year program at Harvard law. So either you worked for three years doing who knows what before you got the law degree, which is maybe the likely story, if you know, you weren't just slacking off and scholarships really didn't cover everything, which again considering your skills with math, I guess could be logical.

Or! You ended up working right out of law school not as a lawyer which, considering where you went to law school at is incredibly unlikely, since everyone knows Harvard basically opens the doors at any law firm because of their reputation.

You really can't do math. At all. And the only differences in the numbers I used might be me tacking on a few because I'm not entirely sure you're the sharpest lawyer in the law firm. Feel free to prove the sixteen year old girl who just pointed out how wrong you were wrong though. I'd love to see it.
