:Josh gives a long kiss through the computer:

Pathetic.

You would know. At least they're being nice to each other.

So much...hostility.

But really, this reminds me a lot of high school. The rich girl try to look down on everybody, including the jock and the sweet library mouse.

That's why I stayed at the margin, no one bothers the ghost. =P

How old are all of us again?

Old enough to know better.

Well, shit, half of the girls in the forum liked what I had to say, with the flagrant exception of the one that had started this thread nearly pleading for companionship. It just goes to show.

Anyway, I'm at the Blackburn Hotel in New York most nights. Hell, I can even get you on the list so you can skip the queue, if I want to. Come around sometime, even if it's not for me, the music's good and the company is better.

Troy, you still looking for a date?

Okay, cease fire for a second.

You mean to tell me that a guy looming over a girl about to become the legal age to screw just the slightest bit off putting?

Seriously people! That is a serious red flag when it comes to op-net predators.

Oh, but what do I know... since I have a bad attitude and generally don't like any of you that automatically makes you all blind to even the slightest bit of logic I'd attempt to open your eyes too.

You know what, fine... to hell with it. If he slits your damn throat good. One less moron to worry about.

You sick, pathetic fools. Rut around as you will. The world will chew you up and spit you out. I will relish that site.

If I give you a date, Star, will you put me on the list? I'd love to stop by the famous Blackburn for a night!

LiberTeen is well known for...um... being long past corruption and way past being a minor.

Cat I think is neither... but it wasn't Cat with whom I was flirting.

Although I am very good with a knife, it's a power, not a lifestyle. I'm very good with my hands in general.

Word of advice. When skimming the op-net for dates, leave that part off your resume'.

I live in New York. If you're as good as you think you are, look me up.

And what is wrong with playing with knives?

Anyone up to having a 'Stranger's Night Out' to the Blackburn? I figure a group of us could gather there for a little meet and greet. Any takers?

The what and where?

Sounds interesting Raven. Tell me more.

Somebody say... PARTY?

P A R T Why? Who needs a reason!

Gimme the scoop, lemme know where the band needs to start settin' up!

Oh! Sorry it took me so long to see this. I passed right over it, or something.
I'm not actively trying to find someone to date. I haven't been on a date since before I was a nova.
That having been said, I would like to date you.

I'm currently in Colorado. I'll diverge from my plan and find my way to San Jose.

That's like, a nova bar, right?

From what I've heard, that would be correct.

A nova bar I haven't been to => Count me in.

Strangers night out sounds fun, would give me more things to do on new york once I finally go there.

If you all liked the idea of coming to visit so much, you might be interested in knowing that next Saturday is Nova Night at the Blackburn, no zips to bother us, and novas come from all over to be there.

We'd love to have you over.

Although I do not reside in New York, I will consider attending if, as you say, only novas will be present.

Open invitation? I'm in. Should I prepare for a cover charge at the door? I've not met with another Nova, and I need to establish a new social standing within a demographic that doesn't think I am a gift from Dieu. Also, it will be nice to get away from the persienne for a while.

This is why I could never be interested in you, oh great Snow Flake.

Catalyst. Catalyseur. You might not like someone because why? They have Nova only nights? Where les singes aren't allowed? Once every now and then the Novas can get together in a private setting, and not be bothered by les gens communs? Come on, that is just rediculous on your part.

He is a racist. May as well go about in some bed sheets, or walk around goose-stepping.

Thank you, Catalyseur. That was one of the funnier things I've heard all day. And I'll take your word for it, yet I am not seeing an example of how so.

I'm still attending.

So, he is a racist because he said "No zips to bother us", eh? That is hardly racist. Faux-Racist, if even at all. Maybe you don't get out much, but they do bother us. They never leave us alone. I don't have anything against a lot of them, but we shouldn't be looked up to like they do. We're not examples to be set forth, and it seems to be a common mistake that happens anyway. So when it does happen, I need a break.

Just as sure if said, wet backs, niggors, chinks, gooks, camel jockeys, nips, or any other racial slur.

Lina, let's be honest here. The word is a racial slur. I am sure he is an eloquent racist, and has many cleaver ways to say things. He could have left that out, and I am sure many people would got the jest of his words. He could have said a night for novas only. Sure that is similar as saying a night without baselines it however comes from a different light. The love of those who are like you and to the hate of those who are not.

Alright. Catalyseur considers it offensive, I do not. Point is, its a party. I'll be making my way to it, as I need to meet people. Why don't you come? You don't need to talk to the guy. You could even get one of your little boyfriends to come, I'm sure.

From what I have been told, that is not the best place to meet friendly people. I may come,I may not. If I do go I go with eyes wide open.

Is there a s reason you put "eur", and not "t" at the end of my name? I mean I think it is something to French but I am not sure.

You should go! It will be fun.. I mean, if you don't mind hanging out with someone younger than you, we could hang out a bit..

Quite astute of you! Yes, it is French for Catalyst.
