PROLOGUE
AUGUST 2018
The Beginning, Where It All Began
Got rid of them quick like!
Steven • 5:34:16 PM, Sat Aug 25 2018
This is Steven by the by.
Steven • 5:34:28 PM, Sat Aug 25 2018
Hey, sexy!
Quintin • 5:36:04 PM, Sat Aug 25 2018
I went to reply, and it kept saying not connected, i thought it meant my phone wasn't connected to the WiFi, then it dawned on me that you probably already deleted your profiles.
Steven • 5:37:18 PM, Sat Aug 25 2018
Yeah. Hahaha. I'm pretty decisive about stuff like that.
Quintin • 5:44:07 PM, Sat Aug 25 2018
Band-aid off in one pull kinda guy.
Steven • 5:45:05 PM, Sat Aug 25 2018
I am usually the same, or at least try to be
Steven • 5:45:28 PM, Sat Aug 25 2018
It's for the best. Hahaha. If I have time to think about it, I waver.
Quintin • 5:49:38 PM, Sat Aug 25 2018
I do know that feeling for sure, I've done that in lots of circumstances
Steven • 5:51:07 PM, Sat Aug 25 2018
And how is quintan today?
Steven • 3:25:17 PM, Sun Aug 26 2018
Hey! He's been unplugged and pretty lazy, tbh. How are you?
Quintin • 6:50:18 PM, Sun Aug 26 2018
Good, having dinner at a friend's.
Steven • 7:08:02 PM, Sun Aug 26 2018
What are you doing with all your new found free time?
Steven • 7:08:44 PM, Sun Aug 26 2018
Hahaha I spent most of the day in bed watching Netflix. Very unproductive use of my time.
Quintin • 7:09:55 PM, Sun Aug 26 2018
If it's your day off, rock on!
Steven • 7:24:55 PM, Sun Aug 26 2018
Yeah. Every day is my day off right now. I'm job hunting.
Quintin • 7:25:55 PM, Sun Aug 26 2018
Good luck, I'm sure you'll get something soon.
Steven • 8:27:54 PM, Sun Aug 26 2018
JANUARY 2019
First Face To Face
Hey
Steven • 8:05:31 PM, Tue Jan 08, 2019
Oh, HI!!! You delicious, edible man sculpture, you.
Quintin • 8:06:37 PM, Tue Jan 08, 2019
Hey, handsome.
Steven • 8:06:47 PM, Tue Jan 08, 2019
Hehe, you flatter me, sir
Steven • 8:09:53 PM, Tue Jan 08, 2019
Sorry I stopped texting you. Shit got kinda hectic and, honestly, bad for a while. Getting better now. How have things been going for you?
Steven • 8:11:01 PM, Tue Jan 08, 2019
Ah, you know, some weeks shittier than others. Still no luck finding work. But change may be around the corner
Quintin • 8:12:31 PM, Tue Jan 08, 2019
That's the right attitude. I switched jobs as well
Steven • 8:15:38 PM, Tue Jan 08, 2019
Not tending bar, cooking for a minute
Steven • 8:15:52 PM, Tue Jan 08, 2019
Change of pace.
Quintin • 8:16:03 PM, Tue Jan 08, 2019
Whatever you've been doing, it's working. You look sexier than ever
Quintin • 8:16:34 PM, Tue Jan 08, 2019
Yah that and I have a standard of how I'll be treated. And wasn't up to standard at the bar
Steven • 8:16:44 PM, Tue Jan 08, 2019
Thank you. Also I have been going to the gym regularly a few times a week
Steven • 8:17:30 PM, Tue Jan 08, 2019
Nice. I can't say the same. Haha
Quintin • 8:18:16 PM, Tue Jan 08, 2019
About to sit down to dinner with a friend. Catch up soon, sexy!!
Quintin • 8:18:46 PM, Tue Jan 08, 2019
How was din-din?
Steven • 12:17:25 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
It was good! A little heavy on the drinks, maybe. 😒 Feeling it this morning.
Quintin • 12:24:26 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
I'm at the train station now. Two and a half hours before my actual train leaves. Fun!
Quintin • 12:27:53 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
We should do something soon! What are you up to this weekend?
Quintin • 12:33:52 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Have no idea, I work graveyards, but have Sunday and Monday nights off
Steven • 12:36:06 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
But I definitely agree we should do something soon
Steven • 12:38:31 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
I'm still not working, so, effectively, I have every day and night off. I'm easy like Sunday morning.
Quintin • 12:39:48 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Haha, aahhhhh ahhhhh
Steven • 12:41:11 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Ooooooo! That's why im easy.....
Steven • 12:41:31 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Quintin • 12:42:04 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Haha. So I switched jobs and as a result, no tips, so
Steven • 12:43:33 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
I dont have gas to come up to you
Steven • 12:47:47 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
So we're a couple of boys with budgets. Even footing! (I'm a gold medal silver lining hunter!)
Quintin • 12:48:01 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
I luckily managed to get a loan to hold me over for a bit, so I can do transportation.
Quintin • 12:49:00 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Cool
Steven • 12:50:11 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
I'll talk with my roommate and see what's up with this weekend.
Steven • 12:50:37 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
So, the thing is, this "roommate" he refers to is not just any roommate. It's his live-in recent ex-boyfriend of over 13 years. I guess he didn't want to scare me off by coming clean all at once about who Rory was and what their situation looked like. It very well might have spared me a lot of misery. Rory was a "roommate" as much as I was just his "friend".
And I'll look at area hotels to see what I can come up with in the way of a little getaway.
Quintin • 12:51:26 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Yakima, right?
Quintin • 12:51:36 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Cool, and yes Yakima
Steven • 12:52:37 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Avoid hotels\motels on north 1st st
Steven • 12:54:21 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Quintin • 12:54:24 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Ghetto
Steven • 12:54:25 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Good to know. I didn't know Yakima had a ghetto!
Quintin • 12:54:50 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Awww, honey, Yakima is a ghetto
Steven • 12:57:54 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Haha
Steven • 12:57:56 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
LOL! But it looks so nice and vanilla on the hotels.com map! Maybe you're just jaded. 😉
Quintin • 1:16:50 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Google it. Haha. Used to have second highest crime rate in us
Steven • 1:26:39 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Wow! I guess it's kinda shitty it couldn't pull off number 1. Nobody likes a runner-up. What a shit town!
Quintin • 1:45:41 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Haha
Steven • 1:49:55 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
I'll be picking up a rental car Sunday morning at 10:00 AM and driving to Yakima, where I'll be checking into the lovely (hopefully non-ghetto) Ledgestone Hotel sometime around 1:30 - 3:00 PM and awaiting the pleasure of your company. 😃
Quintin • 2:34:12 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
There I will be enjoying two nights of Yakima's best nightlife and nationally ranked (2nd place) criminal underbelly. Yay!
Quintin • 2:41:10 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Haha, cool.
Steven • 2:42:18 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Looking forward to meeting
Steven • 2:42:28 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
And... M
Steven • 2:42:32 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
You will get to see my humble abode
Steven • 2:44:39 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Same here! And if we end up absolutely hating each other's guts, well, it will have been a lovely drive through the wilderness, and that alone is worth the trip.
Quintin • 2:47:20 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Haha,
Steven • 2:48:23 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
I think we'll be alright
Steven • 2:48:36 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Yeah, I'm not worried about whether or not you'll like me. I'm fucking great. I just hope you are able to meet my high standards, sir. They're very high. Cruising altitude high. You'd better bring your A game! 😋
Quintin • 2:55:34 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
I may have to put in an extra credit project
Steven • 2:56:40 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Whatever it takes. I'm also very patient. Hahaha
Quintin • 2:57:21 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Patience is a virtue
Steven • 3:34:13 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
😏
Steven • 3:34:26 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
That's me! Virtuous and pure!
Quintin • 3:37:49 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
I figured you were nothing but pure. I mean, you're still a virgin, right?
Steven • 9:58:23 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Haha
Steven • 9:58:38 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
I'm sure we can find a place no dick has gone before.
Quintin • 9:58:56 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Sorry for delayed response. Been kind of busy this evening and had to take a nap.
Steven • 9:59:01 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Behind the ear.
Steven • 9:59:17 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
No, no! No worries. I figured you were sleeping, what with graveyard shifts and all.
Quintin • 9:59:47 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Nope. Definitely had a dick there.
Quintin • 10:00:12 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Haha
Steven • 10:00:31 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
We will just have to put a dick everywhere and make sure to cover all the bases.
Steven • 10:00:48 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
My name is Quintin Seamus Kelly, and I approve this message!
Quintin • 10:01:38 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Amen sister
Steven • 10:02:05 PM, Wed Jan 09, 2019
Eeek! Tomorrow! I'm getting butterflies.
Quintin • 1:53:08 PM, Sat Jan 12, 2019
Haha, what time do you come in again?
Steven • 3:17:08 PM, Sat Jan 12, 2019
If there's no avalanche of death awaiting me in the pass, I should arrive at the hotel around 2:00, if they'll let me check in early.
Quintin • 3:18:28 PM, Sat Jan 12, 2019
Cool
Steven • 3:20:33 PM, Sat Jan 12, 2019
Steven • 4:16:02 PM, Sat Jan 12, 2019
😍
Quintin • 4:17:42 PM, Sat Jan 12, 2019
Hey, do you like group situations?
Steven • 9:35:42 PM, Sat Jan 12, 2019
I've never been afraid of additional tackle to fish with! (which is a lame way of saying "the more the merrier").
Quintin • 9:40:16 PM, Sat Jan 12, 2019
I actually really like that saying! I don't think I've ever heard it, but it's awesome.
Steven • 9:56:44 PM, Sat Jan 12, 2019
It's not that I have anything planned was just curious. But now that I know it's an option we'll see
Steven • 9:57:25 PM, Sat Jan 12, 2019
Heading to work right now my Friday night I'm going to be late a couple minutes
Steven • 9:57:42 PM, Sat Jan 12, 2019
Have just good enough a night that it flies by, but not so good that it tires you out or sets too high a bar for me to meet these next couple of nights. 😋
Quintin • 9:59:58 PM, Sat Jan 12, 2019
No need to worry about that. ADHD comes in handy for things like that. I have energy for days
Steven • 10:00:59 PM, Sat Jan 12, 2019
It's not your energy I'm worried about. It's your patience and interest I need to be strong and fully engaged! Hahahaha
Quintin • 10:02:55 PM, Sat Jan 12, 2019
I'm about to start work. I'll text you later
Steven • 10:04:13 PM, Sat Jan 12, 2019
Getting an incredibly later start than I meant to, because I'm a gold medalist at procrastinating and at eating ass. Only the former is to blame this morning.
Quintin • 11:47:31 AM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
Leaving Tacoma now, so I expect I'll arrive at the hotel right around 3:00.
Quintin • 11:48:08 AM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
But you feel free to sleep in since you worked all night!
Quintin • 11:48:42 AM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
Haha, ok
Steven • 11:50:44 AM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
See you later, gator!
Quintin • 11:51:15 AM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
Something about a crocodile
Steven • 11:56:09 AM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
Quintin • 2:27:41 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
I almost feel sorry for it.
Quintin • 2:28:12 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
So you're here now? What room? I'll be down shortly
Steven • 2:44:59 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
I am! Room 240, and it has a sweeping view of the very best of Yakima!
Quintin • 2:46:09 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
Quintin • 2:46:55 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
I'm unpacking and about to go hunting and foraging for beverages and snacks for the kitchen.
Quintin • 2:47:28 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
But first I want to shower and wash the Badlands off.
Quintin • 2:48:10 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
Cool.
Steven • 2:51:44 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
I will be there in around an hour. Had to deal with some bullshit.
Steven • 3:27:58 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
Ok. Hope everything is ok. No rush.
Quintin • 3:30:01 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
Yeah all is well. Just have a couple of things to do, and grab some stuff from the house.
Steven • 3:33:56 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
Okay.
Quintin • 3:40:23 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
Going outside for a smoke.
Quintin • 4:02:40 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
I'll probably see you in just a minute outside. Can I take a shower? My BS that I had to deal with got all over me. Hahaha
Steven • 4:14:38 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
Not really shit.
Steven • 4:14:51 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
I'm back at the room. And of course you can!
Quintin • 4:15:46 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
I'm here.
Steven • 4:17:14 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
Parking, then I'll be up we
Steven • 4:17:37 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
Door's open.
Quintin • 4:17:45 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
I don't know why the we
Steven • 4:24:32 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
Haha.
Steven • 4:24:44 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
We at the Fairfield?
Steven • 4:25:07 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
Ledgestone!
Quintin • 4:25:20 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
233 is the last room on second floor
Steven • 4:25:23 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
Gotcha
Steven • 4:25:42 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
Oops
Steven • 4:25:45 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
Ledgestone. Sorry!!!
Quintin • 4:25:47 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
No worries
Steven • 4:26:03 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
OMG, good thing we didn't arrange an anon entry!
Quintin • 4:26:21 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
See you in a couple minutes
Steven • 4:26:31 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
Ok
Quintin • 4:26:36 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
Do you by chance have any butane?
Quintin • 8:53:22 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
No, but I can get some
Steven • 8:53:46 PM, Sun Jan 13, 2019
That would be awesome

Hey, you. Just wondering if you were coming back in the next hour or so
Quintin • 11:37:59 PM, Mon Jan 14, 2019
Thinking the passage of an hour and a half means no. Hahahaha. Trying to get old boy out, but he wants to get fucked.
Quintin • 1:03:29 AM, Tue Jan 15, 2019
I'm coming, I fell asleep. Heading back be there shortly. Sorry
Steven • 1:47:38 AM, Tue Jan 15, 2019
No worries!
Quintin • 1:48:04 AM, Tue Jan 15, 2019
I stopped at 7-Eleven to get some taquitos and I pulled over to eat said taquitos and woke up like five minutes ago freezing. on my way
Steven • 1:57:29 AM, Tue Jan 15, 2019
OMG
Quintin • 1:58:01 AM, Tue Jan 15, 2019
I'm outside, be up in a minute. Finishing a smoke in the car

Made it home safely, boo. Thanks again for hanging out and for banging me real good!
Quintin • 2:21:44 PM, Tue Jan 15, 2019
Haha,
Steven • 2:31:30 PM, Tue Jan 15, 2019
Any time
Steven • 2:31:32 PM, Tue Jan 15, 2019
I'm glad you came, and that you made the trip down here
Steven • 2:31:51 PM, Tue Jan 15, 2019
It was absolutely my pleasure. Looking forward to next time.
Quintin • 2:32:22 PM, Tue Jan 15, 2019
Did you end up going home yet? Just wanted to check with you to see if everything was unharmed.
Quintin • 2:53:14 PM, Tue Jan 15, 2019
No not yet
Steven • 3:08:02 PM, Tue Jan 15, 2019
K. Well, good luck! I hope he didn't act an ass.
Quintin • 3:08:43 PM, Tue Jan 15, 2019
He gave me my clothes, didn't go in the house as he had a houseguest
Steven • 3:36:54 PM, Tue Jan 15, 2019
Well, I'm glad at least he didn't fuck with your shit. Maybe there's hope for a civil separation after all. Get some more rest before work, ok? 😘
Quintin • 3:38:44 PM, Tue Jan 15, 2019
Hello, how are you doing today?
Steven • 5:04:41 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
Hey, sexy! I'm fine. How was the rest of your week?
Quintin • 5:05:48 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
Oy
Steven • 5:06:39 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
Oy vay even
Steven • 5:06:48 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
Oh no!
Quintin • 5:07:21 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
Nothing bad, just been a very very long week
Steven • 5:08:03 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
I'm sorry to hear that, boo. Working nights used to be bad enough back when I did it. But you had some extra on your plate, too. 😣
Quintin • 5:09:57 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
All will be fine. Of this I'm certian. How about your week
Steven • 5:11:01 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
It was ok. Got a lot done when I got back to town, but then sort of lost my momentum and didn't get shit done today.
Quintin • 5:12:36 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
Couldn't focus.
Quintin • 5:12:53 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
So, on Monday I'm giving myself a rigorous schedule to follow.
Quintin • 5:13:31 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
Did you ever hear anything from Shane about his bad behavior? An apology or excuse?
Quintin • 5:21:18 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
My inner Judge Judy is just screaming for some kind of just or at least a small lesson learned or something!
Quintin • 5:22:35 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
I found this couple on one of the cam sites who have pretty much the kind of sexual relationship I'm dying to find in a FWB or poly kind of situation. They are so casual and comfortable in their roles it's actually endearing. A not so small part of me was jealous of them, I'm embarrassed to say.
Quintin • 6:03:23 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
No nothing from Shane.
Steven • 7:29:40 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
And no need to be embarrassed.
Steven • 7:32:33 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
We all have the desire to be accepted and loved no matter what. Some people seem to find it easier then others.
Steven • 7:33:42 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
No, no. I think my jealousy stemmed more from the fact that these guys have, at such a young age, managed to build for themselves a healthy, nonmonogamous sexual relationship in which each of them so clearly knows and embodies their role, and I'm 45 and still awkwardly trying to discover who or what I am sexually. I spent my youth being too reserved and afraid of being unapologetically the gay man I was supposed to be, and in doing so I let most of those opportunities slip right past me to the point that now it's almost impossible to find men who can take me seriously when I ask for their kind of Don /Sub play
Quintin • 8:32:28 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
That was a lot. Hahaha. Sorry!!!
Quintin • 8:32:50 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
*Dom / Sub
Quintin • 8:56:55 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
You sir, I feel, are putting far too much stock in other people's opinions of you. You're an awesome guy.
Steven • 8:58:46 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
Don't forget that.
Steven • 8:58:56 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
Aw. Thank you. I wasn't fishing. I'm just a realist. It just sounds super pessimistic, I guess, because accurate appraisals of real life are often pretty harsh. It just is what it is. I accept the reality of my situation, but I can still hold out hope that there are one or two exceptional guys around who might make it better. 😋
Quintin • 9:03:32 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
I didn't think you were. I know what being down on yourself can do. Don't be down on yourself.
Steven • 9:04:17 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
Deal. (But I'm not!) But deal. 😉
Quintin • 9:06:11 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
To be jealous is to be down on oneself.
Steven • 9:23:58 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
Think about what you've got that they don't; a cool, bald friend in Yakima! They can't say that I bet!
Steven • 9:24:45 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
Haha
Steven • 9:24:48 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
True. #Blessed
Quintin • 9:28:59 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
Besides, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be that hard to convince you to dick me down hard (but lovingly) while holding your foot against the back of my neck and telling me my holes all belong to you next time. We already broke the ice pretty thoroughly. So, already there's a glimmer of hope from the East!
Quintin • 9:47:55 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
Hahaha, you really do like to sub huh?
Steven • 9:48:48 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
I have never been a "Dom". Bossy, sure, but not a Dom. Totally willing to try though.
Steven • 9:49:49 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
I *REALLY* do! But because of my size and stature, it's next to impossible to find a top who's able to play that way.
Quintin • 9:50:03 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
Well I'm not necessarily the biggest guy in the world, but I've got a huge personality. I'm willing to be the Dom to your sub.
Steven • 9:51:09 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
Never know; I may love it!
Steven • 9:51:21 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
I do like to be in charge.
Steven • 9:51:31 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
There's totally a middle ground that I think these guys have figured out. I don't need you to be cruel or fake dominant. Just to use me, reward me, and maintain a respectful claim to me when your dick needs draining or you want your ass eaten. 😈
Quintin • 9:52:49 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
Haha. I wouldn't degrade. That is not anything I find hot, but tell you to do this? or to move like that? Instead of asking? I can do that. Be a little rough? I can do that
Steven • 9:54:31 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
Haha, I feel like an infomercial.
Steven • 9:54:42 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
LOL I know, right? But I think these are the weird conversations it takes to make things feel more natural in the bedroom. It's like a read through of a new script before starting rehearsals!
Quintin • 9:57:23 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
We could have a hit show on our hands by the time summer is here! Charge admission and do half-price matinees on Sundays.
Quintin • 10:00:02 PM, Fri Jan 18, 2019
Cha-ching!
Steven • 12:05:53 AM, Sat Jan 19, 2019
Quintin • 12:09:07 AM, Sat Jan 19, 2019
Hope you're doing well.
Steven • 9:35:52 AM, Mon Jan 21, 2019
Hey! I'm doing alright. How are you?
Quintin • 11:10:29 AM, Mon Jan 21, 2019
Meh
Steven • 11:42:55 AM, Mon Jan 21, 2019
Oh no! What's wrong?
Quintin • 11:48:18 AM, Mon Jan 21, 2019
Nothing really, but don't want to go back to the house.
Steven • 11:52:19 AM, Mon Jan 21, 2019
Still? Steven, you can't keep living like that, babe. If there's not a way through this that is civil and mature, then you ought to be the one at your house, and allow him in with supervision when he needs access to collect his things. You're working to pay the rent and utilities for that place, and you can't do that for long if you aren't able to rest and stay warm.
Quintin • 12:08:05 PM, Mon Jan 21, 2019
Agree and disagree. Complicated
Steven • 12:09:51 PM, Mon Jan 21, 2019
Of course. I didn't mean to oversimplify the dissolution of your 16-year relationship. That was crass, and I apologize. BUT, I do hate to hear that you're not comfortable being in your home while it happens. It may not be my place to have an opinion on the matter, it's true, but I kinda like ya, so you'll forgive me for throwing in my two cents from a hundred miles away. 😉
Quintin • 12:15:09 PM, Mon Jan 21, 2019
I know, and 13 years, haha. But really, I just dont want to deal with any of it. Considering moving to a friend's house in E'burg. Currently there.
Steven • 12:28:33 PM, Mon Jan 21, 2019
What about moving to a friend's apartment in Tacoma? Hahaha
Quintin • 12:29:47 PM, Mon Jan 21, 2019
JK
Quintin • 12:29:54 PM, Mon Jan 21, 2019
Haha. Don't think I haven't considered something along that line
Steven • 12:37:58 PM, Mon Jan 21, 2019
Quintin • 2:48:38 PM, Mon Jan 21, 2019
The place in Ellensburg would only be like $300 a month and bills. Nice house in the "Rich" neighborhood.
Steven • 2:54:14 PM, Mon Jan 21, 2019
Ooh!
Quintin • 2:54:28 PM, Mon Jan 21, 2019
That sounds great!
Quintin • 2:54:39 PM, Mon Jan 21, 2019
Damn!
Quintin • 2:54:42 PM, Mon Jan 21, 2019
But i don't know that i want to have roommates at all.
Steven • 2:55:33 PM, Mon Jan 21, 2019
Don't want to answer to anyone. Also don't want to get mad or upset because of someone's disrespect towards other people's things.
Steven • 2:55:46 PM, Mon Jan 21, 2019
True dat
Quintin • 2:56:16 PM, Mon Jan 21, 2019
Nothing has actually been decided on
Steven • 2:58:32 PM, Mon Jan 21, 2019
You're a lot like me. You think a thing through from all angles as if to find all of the ways it could go wrong before committing to anything.
Quintin • 3:12:06 PM, Mon Jan 21, 2019
Hahaha, this time maybe. Not normally. I usually jump head and feet together and worry about the landing after I've hit the ground
Steven • 3:23:33 PM, Mon Jan 21, 2019
Quintin • 3:25:43 PM, Mon Jan 21, 2019
When did you say you were going to be coming this way? Was it this weekend?
Quintin • 2:03:05 AM, Fri Jan 25, 2019
I just reupped and got three Mollies, and my butthole immediately thought of you. Though I would caution you if you already thought I was too touchy feely, because she takes it to a whole other level!
Quintin • 2:05:00 AM, Fri Jan 25, 2019
Haha. Probably next weekend or the one after
Steven • 2:22:57 AM, Fri Jan 25, 2019
Ah, ok.
Quintin • 2:23:22 AM, Fri Jan 25, 2019
Yah either the 3rd or the 10th
Steven • 2:24:07 AM, Fri Jan 25, 2019
Ok. Keep me posted. I can't wait to see you again!
Quintin • 2:30:43 AM, Fri Jan 25, 2019
😉
Steven • 2:30:58 AM, Fri Jan 25, 2019
I will
Steven • 2:31:09 AM, Fri Jan 25, 2019
FEBRUARY 2019
Left In Limbo
When will you be here to give me the cuddles?!
Quintin • 10:22:00 AM, Sat Feb 02, 2019
Probably not this weekend, super bowl and all.
Steven • 11:15:30 AM, Sat Feb 02, 2019
Didn't think about that before
Steven • 11:15:40 AM, Sat Feb 02, 2019
Yeah, people will be all frenzied and shit.
Quintin • 11:16:11 AM, Sat Feb 02, 2019
Mmhmm!
Steven • 11:16:26 AM, Sat Feb 02, 2019
Neck too and finger wave, everything
Steven • 11:16:42 AM, Sat Feb 02, 2019
LOL
Quintin • 11:49:49 AM, Sat Feb 02, 2019
Well, I gotta say, man, I'm jonesing bad for some skin contact and cuddles from you. I'm getting you a tattoo on or around your dick that warns "May cause severe contentment, sore hole, and stupid grin. See your physician if these symptoms last longer than one week. May be habit forming. Do not stop taking without medical supervision."
Quintin • 11:55:09 AM, Sat Feb 02, 2019
I'm in Puyallup
Steven • 7:13:37 PM, Mon Feb 18, 2019
WHAT?! Yay! I mean, how dare you?! But, like Woot!
Quintin • 7:20:38 PM, Mon Feb 18, 2019
What are you doing? What's your schedule? Fill me in!
Quintin • 7:23:05 PM, Mon Feb 18, 2019
Nothing scheduled as of yet. At my cousin's house till i find a place
Steven • 7:24:09 PM, Mon Feb 18, 2019
So is this like, permanent?!
Quintin • 7:24:31 PM, Mon Feb 18, 2019
As of now, yah
Steven • 7:25:11 PM, Mon Feb 18, 2019
Who's to say
Steven • 7:25:17 PM, Mon Feb 18, 2019
That's AWESOME!
Quintin • 7:25:28 PM, Mon Feb 18, 2019
If you come across a big enough place close to downtown Tacoma that would be comfortable for two grown ass men with cats and a voracious sexual appetite to share, think of me!
Quintin • 7:27:09 PM, Mon Feb 18, 2019
Will do
Steven • 7:27:54 PM, Mon Feb 18, 2019
Just got my application to UWT in last Friday, so hoping to be a college student again by fall.
Quintin • 7:28:36 PM, Mon Feb 18, 2019
I'm out of commission for the time being, but I would love to see you soon.
Quintin • 7:30:16 PM, Mon Feb 18, 2019
For a fierce cuddle session if nothing else!
Quintin • 7:30:38 PM, Mon Feb 18, 2019
Oh yah?
Steven • 7:30:38 PM, Mon Feb 18, 2019
YES!
Quintin • 7:30:46 PM, Mon Feb 18, 2019
What happened to put you ooc
Steven • 7:31:05 PM, Mon Feb 18, 2019
Been sick as fuck the last couple of weeks, and can't really be used properly for a while until I'm fully recovered.
Quintin • 7:32:40 PM, Mon Feb 18, 2019
But there's only off limits tape around the back door.😈 All else is in working order.
Quintin • 7:33:53 PM, Mon Feb 18, 2019
Haha
Steven • 7:34:33 PM, Mon Feb 18, 2019
Did you just arrive today?
Quintin • 8:03:54 PM, Mon Feb 18, 2019
I did
Steven • 8:04:23 PM, Mon Feb 18, 2019
Welcome to town, stud. I'm literally three and a half times happier knowing you're so close. 🥳
Quintin • 8:06:52 PM, Mon Feb 18, 2019
That is nice to hear
Steven • 8:09:17 PM, Mon Feb 18, 2019
How's the search going? Found work and a place yet?
Quintin • 1:48:43 AM, Sun Feb 24, 2019
Work yeah, didn't miss a beat. On day 3 at Shari's on Aroura. As for a place, haven't started looking yet
Steven • 1:35:59 PM, Sun Feb 24, 2019
PART 1
MARCH 2019
Goodbye, Yakima - Hello-o-o, Puget Sound!
Just making sure this is the number you have for me.
Quintin • 12:50:31 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Yeah
Steven • 7:32:40 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Ok, good.
Quintin • 7:33:33 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Want me to be an escort?
Steven • 7:37:58 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
I'm game
Steven • 7:38:01 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
LOL. What makes you say that?
Quintin • 7:38:35 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Hey
Steven • 7:44:20 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Yeah my phone was off for a minute this morning
Steven • 7:44:43 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
So my texts are making it through now?
Quintin • 7:48:48 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Indeed
Steven • 7:50:16 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Oh, whew! Good.
Quintin • 7:50:36 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
So, why do you think I want you to be an escort? Hahahaha Are you considering charging me for fun stuff??
Quintin • 7:51:02 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
I dont, I was asking.
Steven • 7:51:36 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Haha
Steven • 7:51:40 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Oh. Well, no! LOL I don't want you to take up escorting on my behalf. And I'd rather not be your customer, if that's cool with you. But if that's something you're thinking of doing, I support you 100%! I know a bit about the subject, you might say.
Quintin • 7:53:21 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
It is
Steven • 7:53:51 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
I like sex, I like money. I like to think I'm good at sex.
Steven • 7:54:10 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Ok, then. Great!
Quintin • 7:54:15 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
You are definitely good at sex.
Quintin • 7:54:26 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Sooo. Makes sense and possibly cents
Steven • 7:54:31 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
VERY, VERY good!
Quintin • 7:54:36 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
🤗
Steven • 7:54:39 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Awesome!
Quintin • 7:54:47 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
What are you doing later?
Steven • 7:54:58 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Well, I can definitely help you get set up.
Quintin • 7:55:08 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
I have to clean up this awful apartment this morning and try to get to the EBT office this afternoon to pick up my card so I can get groceries.
Quintin • 7:56:15 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Otherwise, nothing.
Quintin • 7:57:05 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Except maybe you!
Quintin • 7:57:11 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
I'll be heading back down to Puyallup here in about an hour or so.
Steven • 8:01:23 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
I'll hit you up when I'm close to Tacoma
Steven • 8:01:36 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Ok. Sounds good.
Quintin • 8:02:08 AM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
I'm back in Tac
Steven • 12:34:18 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Haha, at EQC.
Steven • 12:34:33 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Hey! Sorry. I was cut off from the side of the apartment where my phone was, so I had to tunnel my way through all of the laundry I've been sorting to get to it!
Quintin • 12:45:33 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
So what are your plans for today/this evening? You working tonight?
Quintin • 12:50:24 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
My address is: Quintin Kelly, ### St Helens Ave, Apt ###, Tacoma, WA 98402-2315
Quintin • 1:46:01 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
It's the same building that the gay bar, Stir, is in. I have to come down to let you in, because the call box isn't set up and doesn't do shit.
Quintin • 1:47:21 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Schuster Apartments ### St Helens Ave, Tacoma, WA 98402, USA
Quintin • 1:47:43 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Quintin • 1:48:41 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
That rainbow flag in the window is me. 🌈
Quintin • 1:49:56 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Hey, I just ran back through our conversation in my head. I hope I didn't come off as needy or insistent that you come over here to chill later. I mean, I definitely want to see you, and I'm kicking myself for not inviting you sooner, but I also get that you've been a very busy guy these last few days, and that you have to work in the morning. So if you're tired or wanting some alone time, please don't make hanging out with me a priority over that out of politeness or something.
Quintin • 2:27:03 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
If I'm way off base and overthinking shit, ignore me and just come over. Hahahaha
Quintin • 2:27:41 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
You're fine, no worries
Steven • 2:41:25 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
I'll come by later
Steven • 2:41:40 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Ok. Just making sure I wasn't bulldozing my way into your schedule. Hahahaha
Quintin • 2:42:04 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
You're good
Steven • 2:43:49 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Cool. Go wash your drawers, sexy. I'll see you later. 😈
Quintin • 2:44:36 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
How's the laundry coming?
Quintin • 8:12:48 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Done, folded and at home
Steven • 8:28:13 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Nice. I'm about to pop my cap of Molly and hop in the shower to let the water make sweet, sweet love to my skin.
Quintin • 8:29:24 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
I'm almost done here. I'm in Parkland.
Steven • 8:38:26 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
No worries. I was just trying to gauge when to start my feel goods. 😋 Decided now's as good a time as any!
Quintin • 8:40:08 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Werd
Steven • 8:43:55 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
It'll take a while to get going anyway.
Quintin • 8:45:11 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Here
Steven • 9:36:22 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
OMW
Quintin • 9:38:11 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Hey, sorry if something about me or my place or something I said or did made you change your mind about staying the night and playing around. I'm usually a much better host.
Quintin • 11:19:06 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
No not at all. My cousin made a comment to me earlier. Makes me feel a lil guilty
Steven • 11:20:03 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Ok. Well, hopefully I can see more of you really soon.
Quintin • 11:20:57 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Yes yes
Steven • 11:21:19 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
I gotta say, though... leaving me here in this current state was a particularly cruel turn of events. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear you actually *were* playing the role of the sadist!
Quintin • 11:55:49 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
Hahahahahaha
Quintin • 11:55:49 PM, Fri Mar 01, 2019
You still in Seattle?
Steven • 9:03:34 PM, Fri Mar 08, 2019
Just got on the Link at Cap Hill
Quintin • 9:04:17 PM, Fri Mar 08, 2019
Well, on the wrong Link. Now I'm back at Cap Hill station
Quintin • 9:04:44 PM, Fri Mar 08, 2019
Heading to SODO station to catch the 9:33 bus home
Quintin • 9:05:27 PM, Fri Mar 08, 2019
This train smells like feet. 🤢
Quintin • 9:05:59 PM, Fri Mar 08, 2019
Why do you ask?
Quintin • 9:08:58 PM, Fri Mar 08, 2019
Curious is all. Concern for a friend.
Steven • 9:11:05 PM, Fri Mar 08, 2019
I'm back in Seattle. In Ballard
Steven • 9:11:26 PM, Fri Mar 08, 2019
Yeah, I remember you saying you were going to be going back over there.
Quintin • 9:14:38 PM, Fri Mar 08, 2019
It caught me by surprise.
Quintin • 9:14:39 PM, Fri Mar 08, 2019
Oh yeah?
Steven • 9:15:30 PM, Fri Mar 08, 2019
Only because I apparently misunderstood you when you said you wanted to play. I thought you were coming to my place. But it's all good.
Quintin • 9:16:33 PM, Fri Mar 08, 2019
That's why I wanted to pick you up. But had to come back here tonight, with nothing fun in that area I didn't stay long
Steven • 9:19:21 PM, Fri Mar 08, 2019
We will and shall play, soon
Steven • 9:19:43 PM, Fri Mar 08, 2019
😊
Quintin • 9:19:53 PM, Fri Mar 08, 2019
Hope so. I'm probably going to try to go to Portland for a few days to party with a couple of guys, so we'll see
Quintin • 9:24:02 PM, Fri Mar 08, 2019
I hope it works out. Take and send me pics
Steven • 9:41:03 PM, Fri Mar 08, 2019
😈😈😈
Steven • 9:41:08 PM, Fri Mar 08, 2019
Hahahaha
Quintin • 9:41:33 PM, Fri Mar 08, 2019
Portland boys are deferred. Staying in Tacoma this weekend after all. 😒
Quintin • 5:08:36 PM, Sat Mar 09, 2019
About to park at your place
Steven • 2:47:19 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
I'm in the lobby
Quintin • 2:49:38 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
629
Quintin • 2:49:50 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
Is that the code
Steven • 2:50:12 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
The address
Quintin • 2:50:28 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
I'm just inside the front door
Quintin • 2:50:38 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
Hey, did you weigh that in the bag? Only weighs .6
Steven • 4:34:49 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
Not trippen, just thought you should know. Maybe your scale is off a bit
Steven • 4:35:23 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
I weighed it in the bag, yeah. But after setting the tare, which was .4. Guess I could have messed up.
Quintin • 4:36:16 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
Don't worry about any more $$. Enjoy.
Quintin • 4:36:56 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
Sorry about that. When I weighed it, it showed 1.1.
Quintin • 4:39:16 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
No worries. Like i said I'm not trippen on the sTuff. Just was wondering if
Steven • 6:01:57 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
Unblock lifter4fun, on scruff. B
Steven • 6:02:29 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
He wants to hit you up
Steven • 6:03:03 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
Might take a while. I have over 1100 blocks. Basically, if someone I hit up doesn't show interest, I block them so I don't bug 'em.
Quintin • 6:05:19 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
Nope. He's not on my block list. I must be on his. Hahahaha
Quintin • 6:21:38 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
No he checked
Steven • 6:21:57 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
Weird. I went through all of my blocks under 20 miles
Quintin • 6:22:26 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
There were many
Quintin • 6:22:37 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
Very much NOT blocked.
Quintin • 6:46:16 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
Quintin • 6:46:23 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
I'm going to have nightmares about what I just saw in that blocked list!
Quintin • 6:46:51 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
Ah... I see you guys are... Busy. Ciao.
Quintin • 6:51:56 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
Uh oh. You forgot your knife.
Quintin • 7:44:39 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
Thank God I've been looking for that for like, well, since I left your house.
Steven • 7:47:44 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
It's here.
Quintin • 8:00:34 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
Cool. At least i know it's safe
Steven • 8:01:11 PM, Mon Mar 11, 2019
Sorry I missed a chance to roll around.
Quintin • 8:43:00 AM, Tue Mar 12, 2019
Hit me up here for quicker response. I don't sign into the apps very often.
Quintin • 8:43:40 AM, Tue Mar 12, 2019
How's your day going so far?
Steven • 12:17:43 PM, Tue Mar 12, 2019
Quiet. Still smoking and stroking.
Quintin • 12:19:07 PM, Tue Mar 12, 2019
That's pretty much my schedule until I hear back from this job I interviewed for.
Quintin • 12:19:40 PM, Tue Mar 12, 2019
Fun times
Steven • 12:19:52 PM, Tue Mar 12, 2019
Yours?
Quintin • 12:19:55 PM, Tue Mar 12, 2019
Haha
Steven • 12:20:09 PM, Tue Mar 12, 2019
On my way to work, and super stressed. A lot more money going out this week then coming in. Freaking out a little bit
Steven • 12:20:44 PM, Tue Mar 12, 2019
☹️ You're welcome to take back that $20 you left here.
Quintin • 12:21:28 PM, Tue Mar 12, 2019
I appreciate the offer but then I would just owe you more money
Steven • 12:22:02 PM, Tue Mar 12, 2019
I'm sure the commute back and forth so much is burning up a pretty penny.
Quintin • 12:22:06 PM, Tue Mar 12, 2019
You wouldn't owe me any money.
Quintin • 12:22:23 PM, Tue Mar 12, 2019
Is this true the commute is crazy that's why I stay in Seattle most days that I work
Steven • 12:23:36 PM, Tue Mar 12, 2019
I'm offering it back to you.
Quintin • 12:23:54 PM, Tue Mar 12, 2019
I need to find a couple of rich, old, horny dudes and prostitute myself to them for like a thousand each.
Steven • 12:24:10 PM, Tue Mar 12, 2019
Makes sense, I suppose. :-/ I'm not that rich. (yet)
Quintin • 12:24:22 PM, Tue Mar 12, 2019
I do appreciate it. I'll be back tomorrow night
Steven • 12:24:34 PM, Tue Mar 12, 2019
I'll be here where I always am. Hahaha
Quintin • 12:25:31 PM, Tue Mar 12, 2019
Consistency is key
Steven • 12:26:58 PM, Tue Mar 12, 2019
Bua hahahaha
Steven • 12:27:06 PM, Tue Mar 12, 2019
🤔
Quintin • 12:27:14 PM, Tue Mar 12, 2019
I'll take it.
Quintin • 12:27:34 PM, Tue Mar 12, 2019
I get off work at 4 this coming Friday, then I'll be working Friday nights 4 till 10
Steven • 7:38:40 AM, Wed Mar 13, 2019
Your drum circle is at 6:00, you said?
Quintin • 1:18:57 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
I ask because if you're leaving my place for there, and then coming back after, I'm timing a Pi Party downstairs, and want to make sure it's while you're otherwise engaged.
Quintin • 1:54:12 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
But, like, if you're *not* coming, that opens up other time slots, and I should let people know.
Quintin • 2:34:34 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
Not that that's what I prefer, of course.
Quintin • 2:35:07 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
Okay so I will come over before and we could smoke some stuff that I have. I'll probably be over there around 5:30 ish and I'll be late for my drum circle. I won't leave right away, but I now have to work at 7 tomorrow, so I'm going to Seattle tonight.
Steven • 3:55:43 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
I'm sorry to be a dirty dirty douchebag.
Steven • 3:56:00 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
It does make me feel like an asshole.
Steven • 3:56:15 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
Hanging out with my best friend and lost track of time.
Steven • 3:57:00PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
Don't make a stop here if it's out of the way and only a brief one.
Quintin • 3:57:02 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
I'll see you when I see you.
Quintin • 3:57:20 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
I want to come over to see you
Steven • 3:57:29 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
It's cool. I have to be downstairs at 6. I have other people counting on me.
Quintin • 3:58:28 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
That's why I needed to know a schedule for this evening.
Quintin • 3:58:46 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
I still don't have a set schedule.
Steven • 3:59:35 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
I understand.
Quintin • 4:01:09 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
So, on one of my days off, we are going to spend the whole thing together. Just us.
Steven • 4:03:01 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
Ok. Let me know.
Quintin • 4:03:44 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
I will indeed.
Steven • 4:05:57 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
Preferably with enough notice to allow me time to be prepared, but not so much time that I prepare and two meals go by, then something else comes up. Just, you know, the right amount of time.
Quintin • 4:07:06 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
Haha. You and me both sister
Steven • 4:15:56 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
But I will be in that part of town around 5:30 if you want to smoke
Steven • 4:18:34 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
I'm not gonna lie, you have a habit of making me feel pretty last option-y lately. I try not to let it hurt or dwell on it for too long, but you should know that it stings when you make plans with me and end up changing them at the last minute or trying to cram in a quick visit to squeeze me in like I'm being checked off a to-do list on your way to play with someone down the street. I wasn't going to mention it because it feels like it's petty and demanding of me, and you have no obligation to me whatsoever, but I figured if I didn't say something, you might think it's cool to keep doing it, and it's really not. We're cool and all, and I always want to see you when there's time. That doesn't change. 😉
Quintin • 4:25:16 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
Trust me, I kind of feel like I'm being the same way that you're describing, and I don't like it. I don't like to be cramming everything so quickly. I'm not even trying to excuse it or make it okay. It's shitty of me, and I am sorry. I don't want you to feel that you are my last option or a second choice or any of that.
Steven • 4:28:40 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
Thanks. I don't want to, either. Hahaha
Quintin • 4:29:22 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
I do very much enjoy hanging out with you and all that. I have got so much on my plate that even the stuff that's falling you needs a plate
Steven • 4:29:44 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
But we're good. I understand that there's a lot on your plate.
Quintin • 4:29:46 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
I am heading to downtown right now a little earlier than I thought. We can hang out for a bit if you're cool with it. I'm sorry I'm such a schmuck.
Steven • 4:30:27 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
Yep. Totally get it. And I'm cool sitting in the fridge until you're able to stop and enjoy dessert.
Quintin • 4:30:39 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
Yeah, that's fine.
Quintin • 4:31:03 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
Want me to come meet you at the back door?
Quintin • 4:31:19 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
Hahaha Being punny are we?
Steven • 4:32:15 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
😈
Quintin • 4:33:55 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
No, but for reals. Which door are you coming to and when? Hahaha
Quintin • 5:00:54 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
Like 15 minutes back door or less
Steven • 5:01:21 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
Cool.
Quintin • 5:01:29 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
Almost exactly 15 minutes. I'm almost there. I can see
Steven • 5:17:31 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
Oh my God I hate how late I am all the time
Steven • 5:17:43 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
🤐
Quintin • 5:18:10 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
Parking right now
Steven • 5:18:12 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
Here
Steven • 5:18:46 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
OMW
Quintin • 5:19:01 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
Oh my God you're always late!
Steven • 5:19:20 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
Haha
Steven • 5:19:25 PM, Thu Mar 14, 2019
Well, last night after the Pi Party was a regrettable waste of my time and money. Scott hit me up all in a bind asking if I could help them out with some stuff, and suggested that I come over to their place to meet in person. So I took a Lyft across town to their apartment where I walked into a flurry of naked, chaotic, frustrated and frantic searching high and low for some lost Viagra. We chatted briefly, did a couple of lines, and he tried to pawn me off on a black friend that was allegedly on his way over, saying he didn't think I was either of their type, but might be this other dude's. I'd given them a gram and set them up with access to my porn server by that point, and I excused myself before anyone else could show up and hailed another $15 Lyft home. Scott gave me a $20 bill before I fled, which covered half what I loaned them, but all in all that visit cost me $30 in travel, $25 more stuff than he paid, and what self-esteem I had left by the end of yesterday. I didn't need to hear how I'm not his type or his boyfriend's type, or only maybe some stranger's type. I'm very well aware that I'm nobody's type. I'm just good for a good chuckle and whatever I happen to have in my pockets. This isn't news to me. But hearing it from people I'm not even attracted to when I only came to help them out was more than I needed to hear. If I was someone's, anyone's type, I wouldn't have spent the last month and a half alone, passed over, sidestepped, and untouched here in my apartment.
Quintin • 4:00:01 PM, Fri Mar 15, 2019
I'm probably going to delete the apps again. I spent the last money I had in the bank on Lyfts last night, so the pro subscription will be cancelling soon anyway. Just wanted to give you a heads up in case you wanted to stay in contact or whatever. If you run into any decent guys with super low standards, send them my way, would ya?
Quintin • 4:03:32 PM, Fri Mar 15, 2019
And please don't mention any of this to those guys. I certainly don't want to rehash it or get swept up in drama. Just more wasted time and energy I don't want to spend on it.
Quintin • 4:05:34 PM, Fri Mar 15, 2019
I do. I'll call in a few
Steven • 5:02:21 PM, Fri Mar 15, 2019
Getting done at work
Steven • 5:02:27 PM, Fri Mar 15, 2019
Sorry i didn't call you back. I'll hit you up in the morning.
Steven • 9:34:51 PM, Sat Mar 16, 2019
Sure.
Quintin • 9:35:13 PM, Sat Mar 16, 2019
Good night.
Quintin • 9:35:19 PM, Sat Mar 16, 2019
So din din tomorrow
Steven • 10:58:47 PM, Sat Mar 16, 2019
?
Steven • 10:58:49 PM, Sat Mar 16, 2019
Yeah! That'd be fun. I'll see what I can rustle up.
Quintin • 10:59:55 PM, Sat Mar 16, 2019
Steven • 11:00:17 PM, Sat Mar 16, 2019
Quintin • 11:01:26 PM, Sat Mar 16, 2019
Haha
Steven • 11:03:59 PM, Sat Mar 16, 2019
Getting tossed?
Steven • 11:04:13 PM, Sat Mar 16, 2019
Not since Yakima.
Quintin • 11:04:37 PM, Sat Mar 16, 2019
Eek!
Steven • 11:04:48 PM, Sat Mar 16, 2019
I'm telling you, it's been an intimacy famine over here since I got back! I don't fit the bill here.
Quintin • 11:06:53 PM, Sat Mar 16, 2019
Meh. Fuck 'em. I know, it's easier said than done.
Steven • 11:08:26 PM, Sat Mar 16, 2019
BTW, that bitmoji wasn't intended to suggest that tossing anything was expected.
Quintin • 11:09:02 PM, Sat Mar 16, 2019
Haha, no worries
Steven • 11:11:24 PM, Sat Mar 16, 2019
Yeah, I can shrug it off and keep saying, "Their loss.", but it doesn't change the fact that I remain untouched. Once I get a job, I just need to hire someone to knock the cobwebs off and make me feel wanted and appreciated for a night. That'll hold me over for a while.
Quintin • 11:12:56 PM, Sat Mar 16, 2019
No need to hire! If you want to, sure, by all means. But tomorrow we're going to fuck around some I thought, not to be presumptuous
Steven • 12:26:36 AM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
I'd kinda assumed that wasn't on the table anymore.
Quintin • 12:29:03 AM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
See what assuming does? haha
Steven • 12:29:27 AM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
I told you that timing has been the issue, as in not enough time to ever do anything properly.
Steven • 12:30:05 AM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
Figured I'd landed in the friend zone, which is fine! Great! But, yeah, I totally picked up a whole other kinda vibe. I was mistaken. It's happened once or twice.
Quintin • 12:30:19 AM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
You are in the friends zone. Luckily I make a habit of sleeping with my friends. haha
Steven • 12:32:21 AM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
Thank God for your sinful ways. Do you know how sad it made me to think you'd joined team #notmytype ???
Quintin • 12:34:09 AM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
I don't, and I hope you don't still feel that way.
Steven • 12:35:13 AM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
I'm glad you're not here right now. Hahaha It would totally ruin my whole "too tough for tears" image. LOL That was unexpected. Hehehe
Quintin • 12:38:50 AM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
Onions, always blame onions
Steven • 12:39:26 AM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
Haha
Steven • 12:39:28 AM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
Yup. They must be getting all their onions prepped for the week downstairs right now.
Quintin • 12:40:10 AM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
In the words of RuPaul, if you cain't love yourself, how n' da hell you gonna love some body else
Steven • 12:40:28 AM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
Mmhmm
Steven • 12:40:34 AM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
That's right!
Steven • 12:40:38 AM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
You're awesome. I'm glad I got to meet and get to know you
Steven • 12:41:07 AM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
In multiple ways.
Steven • 12:41:27 AM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
I do! I'm also able to accept unfortunate truths.
Quintin • 12:41:27 AM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
Thanks, buddy.
Quintin • 12:41:45 AM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
You're not so bad yourself.
Quintin • 12:42:23 AM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
Steven • 12:48:17 AM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
Quintin • 12:49:34 AM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
YAAAAAAAASSSSSS M'MA
Steven • 12:50:54 AM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
How's work shaping up? Looking like you'll be there late?
Quintin • 3:22:45 PM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
I am off of work. I'm giving a co-worker a ride home, and then I will give you a call
Steven • 3:26:32 PM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
And we will get this evening figured out and on the road
Steven • 3:26:45 PM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
Ooh! Sounds good!
Quintin • 3:26:57 PM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
I'm going to hop in the shower, so if you call and I don't hear it, I'll call you back as soon as I get out. Remind me to ask you about my drone. And if you happen across any dick pills you can part with, I'd really like to get one, but not if it's too much trouble, is out of the way, or costs anything. I'm sure simple human touch will do wonders once my central nervous system recognizes what that sensation is again. (Not to presume too much!)
Quintin • 4:32:20 PM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
I have a few dick pills I'm willing to part with. I think I will have some more
Steven • 4:57:54 PM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
Are you sure I can't entice you to party?
Steven • 4:58:21 PM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
I plan to party. Here.
Quintin • 4:58:40 PM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
If you want to hang there instead, I get it. I'd rather you did than to feel like you were here out of some sense of obligation. That wouldn't be fun at all.
Quintin • 5:00:07 PM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
But what you described is just not at all my scene.
Quintin • 5:01:04 PM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
I'm sorry if that's lame or whatever.
Quintin • 5:01:19 PM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
Honestly, I just think we could have fun doing both. Like, partying with them for a little while, and then partying just the two of us.
Steven • 5:01:39 PM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
I . . .
Quintin • 5:02:53 PM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
I don't know how else to say it. I'm not attracted to heavy guys like myself or bigger, nor to women, nor to cross dressers. It's so far out in the opposite direction of what turns me on it couldn't be less my scene.
Quintin • 5:05:01 PM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
Again, I understand if you want to stay there. I just can't join you.
Quintin • 5:05:36 PM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
Next
Steven • 5:05:43 PM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
?
Quintin • 5:06:02 PM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
In route. On my way. Say about 20 minutes? Because that's me - always late.
Steven • 7:31:45 PM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
But I speed some, too, so I'll see you in a few.
Steven • 7:31:55 PM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
😎
Quintin • 7:32:11 PM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
Be careful.
Quintin • 7:32:52 PM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
Here
Steven • 7:56:55 PM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
Heading your way now
Quintin • 7:57:13 PM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
Back door, right?
Quintin • 7:59:13 PM, Sun Mar 17, 2019
^seems a pretty obvious question in hindsight, really. The back door is hanging off its hinges today, I'm thrilled to report. Thanks for using the battering ram last night.
Quintin • 4:31:47 PM, Mon Mar 18, 2019
You're welcome, and sorry.
Steven • 4:32:50 PM, Mon Mar 18, 2019
Don't you dare apologize! It had it coming, believe me.
Quintin • 4:33:19 PM, Mon Mar 18, 2019
It did have it cumming.
Steven • 4:47:30 PM, Mon Mar 18, 2019
I see what you did there.
Quintin • 5:08:56 PM, Mon Mar 18, 2019
Damn it! I forgot to talk to you about my drone! I'm trying to sell it, but there's a hitch. The battery is dead, which is a simple enough fix, but they cost nearly $100. The drone itself is a $500 monster, and I can't even fly it here this close to the port, but it's gonna be challenging at best to sell it to anyone without being able to prove that it flies (which it does. Magnificently!). Know anyone who would be interested and willing to take me at my word for its workability? I'm hoping to get $400 for it, but can go as low as $300 if I absolutely have to.
Quintin • 5:08:25 PM, Tue Mar 19, 2019
Not off of the top of my head, but have you tried offer up?
Steven • 7:05:02 PM, Tue Mar 19, 2019
Working on that
Quintin • 7:05:24 PM, Tue Mar 19, 2019
If you come across anyone interested in trading T for it, I'm open to that as well.
Quintin • 8:06:07 PM, Tue Mar 19, 2019
Okay, I'll keep that in mind. How's your night
Steven • 10:31:09 PM, Tue Mar 19, 2019
Quiet anxiety is how I'd describe it. Tomorrow's my second interview, and I NEED this fucking job.
Quintin • 10:32:03 PM, Tue Mar 19, 2019
You'll get it
Steven • 10:32:25 PM, Tue Mar 19, 2019
About to have a drink and do laundry to clear my head.
Quintin • 10:32:27 PM, Tue Mar 19, 2019
Thanks for the confidence!
Quintin • 10:32:48 PM, Tue Mar 19, 2019
How are you?
Quintin • 10:32:56 PM, Tue Mar 19, 2019
I hope your hole didn't end up scratched to within an inch of its life by my moustache and beard. 😣
Quintin • 10:34:19 PM, Tue Mar 19, 2019
Otherwise, consider it the first in a series of rejuvenating exfoliation treatments that need to be scheduled biweekly at least. 😈
Quintin • 10:35:28 PM, Tue Mar 19, 2019
It was good, and of course I have confidence in you. You're going to get it. Well, I hope you do. Relax. Clear your head.
Steven • 10:35:44 PM, Tue Mar 19, 2019
Thank you! Have a great night
Quintin • 10:37:04 PM, Tue Mar 19, 2019
I'll let you know how it goes.
Quintin • 10:37:17 PM, Tue Mar 19, 2019
Just got off. Just leaving Seattle
Steven • 10:37:25 PM, Tue Mar 19, 2019
Yes, please do
Steven • 10:37:33 PM, Tue Mar 19, 2019
Well, at least I don't have to wait through the whole miserable weekend to find out about the job. They just emailed me.
Quintin • 11:43:58 AM, Fri Mar 22, 2019
You got it?
Steven • 11:44:32 AM, Fri Mar 22, 2019
I got it. 🥳
Quintin • 11:45:07 AM, Fri Mar 22, 2019
Pending the outcome of the background check, but yes. Thank GOD!
Quintin • 11:45:40 AM, Fri Mar 22, 2019
Fucking awesome
Steven • 11:45:41 AM, Fri Mar 22, 2019
I'm so fucking relieved, you can't imagine
Quintin • 11:49:35 AM, Fri Mar 22, 2019
Congrats
Steven • 11:56:29 AM, Fri Mar 22, 2019
I can imagine, trust
Steven • 11:56:44 AM, Fri Mar 22, 2019
Start date will be the 15th.
Quintin • 11:58:47 AM, Fri Mar 22, 2019
That means I'm going to have to do some smooth talking to my landlord.
Quintin • 11:59:24 AM, Fri Mar 22, 2019
Happen to know where a fella can get some decent T like you had? Papa Bear's all out. 😣
Quintin • 2:40:29 PM, Fri Mar 22, 2019
I do, here is the thing. The thing is. I am in Seattle, about to start work
Steven • 2:41:21 PM, Fri Mar 22, 2019
Well at 4
Steven • 2:41:29 PM, Fri Mar 22, 2019
Ah, ok
Quintin • 2:42:01 PM, Fri Mar 22, 2019
However, when I get done at work I may be able to do something.
Steven • 2:42:35 PM, Fri Mar 22, 2019
Ok! Let me know. I'm having to finance it through a f-buddy who wants to use his grocery money for it, and I'll buy his groceries with my new EBT card I just picked up.
Quintin • 2:44:12 PM, Fri Mar 22, 2019
Hustler!
Steven • 2:58:40 PM, Fri Mar 22, 2019
Haha
Steven • 2:58:44 PM, Fri Mar 22, 2019
Learning as I go. Thanks.
Quintin • 2:59:35 PM, Fri Mar 22, 2019
👼👼
Steven • 3:01:47 PM, Fri Mar 22, 2019
👹👹👺👺😈😈😂😂🤣😂🤣😅
Steven • 3:02:09 PM, Fri Mar 22, 2019
Your butt is nearing it's next treatment due date, too. Just looking out for you. Don't want to regress and suddenly age your hole weeks more.
Quintin • 3:09:09 PM, Fri Mar 22, 2019
Haha
Steven • 3:09:35 PM, Fri Mar 22, 2019
If I doze off, call me when you get off
Quintin • 10:16:07 PM, Fri Mar 22, 2019
Sorry about not getting back to you last night. Didn't get any. And kinda got dickstracted
Steven • 9:01:14 AM, Sat Mar 23, 2019
np
Quintin • 12:56:02 PM, Sat Mar 23, 2019
Should I be putting on clothes to get ready to come meet you?
Quintin • 9:33:56 PM, Sat Mar 23, 2019
I'm like 2 minutes away, but I also need to take a shower myself.
Steven • 9:34:45 PM, Sat Mar 23, 2019
Cool
Quintin • 9:35:39 PM, Sat Mar 23, 2019
Fresh towels all ready for you!
Quintin • 9:36:04 PM, Sat Mar 23, 2019
Heading down to the back door
Quintin • 9:39:29 PM, Sat Mar 23, 2019
And you know that's where I'm going
Steven • 9:41:06 PM, Sat Mar 23, 2019
You're drawn there. It's where you belong.
Quintin • 9:42:17 PM, Sat Mar 23, 2019
Wanna smoke a bowl? Can I come over? And I have my bestie with me. He is cool
Steven • 5:45:07 PM, Mon Mar 25, 2019
What he meant was his boss was with him and needed to take a shit, but they didn't want to drive all the way to Puyallup or Federal Way for him to unload, because they were waiting to hear from a trans girl about partying in a nearby South Tacoma motel room. So ShitStop for me under the guise of wanting to see me.
Sure!
Quintin • 5:45:40 PM, Mon Mar 25, 2019
Cool be there shortly
Steven • 5:45:56 PM, Mon Mar 25, 2019
I don't have a ton left, but I'm happy to share.
Quintin • 5:46:10 PM, Mon Mar 25, 2019
I've got some too
Steven • 5:47:26 PM, Mon Mar 25, 2019
Perfect
Quintin • 5:48:13 PM, Mon Mar 25, 2019
Meet us out back in a minute we're almost there like I could see your building
Steven • 6:17:13 PM, Mon Mar 25, 2019
On my way
Quintin • 6:17:33 PM, Mon Mar 25, 2019
I'm at the door
Steven • 6:23:03 PM, Mon Mar 25, 2019
Be right there
Quintin • 6:23:31 PM, Mon Mar 25, 2019
Back door?
Quintin • 6:24:06 PM, Mon Mar 25, 2019
I know. Sorry to make you go up and down, up and down, up and .. .

Don't read this now - FOCUS? But one of these days soon, maybe you and I can hang out and talk about, I don't know, serious shit like what all I'm really getting wrong that's keeping me from connecting with people and making me miss out on all the fun stuff. I'm not at all convinced that it's just because I use my vocabulary. That might account for a small percentage, but I have a hard time believing that all the faggots in the Puget Sound area under 60 are walking around hating on start people. I promise it would be a productive conversation and that I won't be emotional about anything. I'm just really starting to get down about my social situation, and am at a loss as to whether it's because of my being fat or if it's actually something I'm saying/doing that's turning everyone away. So, maybe pencil me in for some friend time next week or something? Like, if it's convenient and not a trip back down here just to do this?
Quintin • 9:01:30 PM, Mon Mar 25, 2019
Sounds good. And never an inconvenience. You're my friend. I do for my friends.
Steven • 9:05:15 PM, Mon Mar 25, 2019
And not if you need to go to Spokane and Yakima. My petty shit will still be here when you get back from picking up your stuff.
Quintin • 9:18:22 PM, Mon Mar 25, 2019
I don't think I'm doing that today or tomorrow cuz I work. I might do it Wednesday not sure
Steven • 9:21:38 PM, Mon Mar 25, 2019
Whenever you go, be rested and be safe. And make that a priority before this ^ whole thing. That's potentially part of your livilihood
Quintin • 9:23:03 PM, Mon Mar 25, 2019
😉
Steven • 10:18:54 PM, Mon Mar 25, 2019
FYI, this is the guy, Ronnie, who hurt my heart back in November by just shutting me out with no explanation. Know him?
Quintin • 6:14:27 PM, Tue Mar 26, 2019
Quintin • 6:14:32 PM, Tue Mar 26, 2019
Quintin • 6:14:37 PM, Tue Mar 26, 2019
I can't say that I do
Steven • 6:31:16 PM, Tue Mar 26, 2019
Cool. Well, if you do end up hanging out with him, just know he's a mean old poopy-faced monster.
Quintin • 6:32:23 PM, Tue Mar 26, 2019
I won't. Not trying to hang out with someone who was mean to my friend.
Steven • 6:33:09 PM, Tue Mar 26, 2019
💛
Quintin • 6:34:33 PM, Tue Mar 26, 2019
Hello
Steven • 7:44:55 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Hello, from outside your place
Steven • 7:55:08 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Hi! What are you doing?
Quintin • 7:58:37 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Sitting out in my car, by your place
Steven • 7:59:00 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Why?
Quintin • 7:59:13 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Do you want to come inside? Hahahaha
Quintin • 7:59:26 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Debating going home and to bed or waiting for my buddy who is
Steven • 7:59:32 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Wanting to get a room
Steven • 7:59:44 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Aaah.
Quintin • 7:59:49 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Good place as any for an internal debate of that magnitude, I suppose.
Quintin • 8:00:18 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Not even so much to play. Just to have company. He is an older guy.
Steven • 8:00:26 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
I got a bag,
Steven • 8:00:34 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
I'll come let you in if you want to come up here to think.
Quintin • 8:01:01 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Back door, before you ask, haha
Steven • 8:01:33 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
K
Quintin • 8:01:37 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Here
Quintin • 8:03:24 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
I take it it was a no? Just wondering whether to resume my cooking or prepare to party.
Quintin • 10:23:52 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Ok. Dinner it is.
Quintin • 10:33:46 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
We haven't been able to get anyone on the hook.
Steven • 10:34:28 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
It's fine.
Quintin • 10:35:11 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
This was my original plan for the night anyway.
Quintin • 10:35:32 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
No, it sucks. Haha.
Steven • 10:35:33 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
I'm sorry babe, didn't mean to make you hold off on din dins.
Steven • 10:36:22 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Yeah, well, I could probably stand to hold off a bit.
Quintin • 10:37:08 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Anyway, have fun.
Quintin • 10:37:27 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Honestly, if something doesn't start soon I'll probably pass out.
Steven • 10:39:31 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Good luck? I guess?
Quintin • 10:40:09 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Hahaha I'm not sure what to say to that. Do you want a cheer section? Should I be rooting for you to get some while I'm fixing dinner for 1? Hahaha
Quintin • 10:40:23 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Haha, thanks?
Steven • 10:40:28 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Okay, here you go: ahem... May your continued bounty of ass, cock, and bags go uninterrupted for as long as is healthy, and then pause long enough for you to rest and visit me again when you're not en route to somewhere else. Hahaha OH! And no crabs. That part is important.
Quintin • 10:44:41 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Haha, nerd
Steven • 10:45:38 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Dammit! I forgot to dumb it down!
Quintin • 10:46:16 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Derrr, I don't kno wuts he's bes sayin pa'
Steven • 10:47:06 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Not that you're not bright. Just that I need to practice, and you're my test dummy. (Not dumb-y)
Quintin • 10:48:03 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Haha,
Steven • 10:48:25 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Don't forget, though, jokes aside - I do still want very much to have that discussion after you're back in town.
Quintin • 10:49:50 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Yes
Steven • 10:50:04 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
And I'm sure it's the last thing you're looking forward to, but it really is important for me to hear honest feedback or I'll have nothing to go on when I try to correct my unpopular behaviors. So think of it as tough love, but hopefully in a gentle, kind way. 😉
Quintin • 10:52:49 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Ok. Bye. Go fuck something.
Quintin • 10:53:02 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Indeed, maybe with my cock in your ass.
Steven • 10:53:20 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
While that sounds absolutely wonderful, it might prove counterproductive. What if that's my reward for listening and learning what's got people skipping me over when it comes to invitations to fuck parTies? Because that shit feels awful. But your cock feels wonderful.
Quintin • 10:55:22 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Not that I expect you to be able to speak for everyone else who does it, but at least your own reasoning for it and that of anyone else you might know well enough to wager a guess.
Quintin • 10:57:36 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Ok, NOW bye.
Quintin • 10:57:48 PM, Thu Mar 28, 2019
Thinking of getting a little Airbnb on North side of Cap Hill for the night. Would you be interested in hanging out a bit, or are you booked for the night? No big if you can't. Just figured I'd ask.
Quintin • 4:36:28 PM, Fri Mar 29, 2019
Shit. Just noticed the time. I know you're working, so it may be a while before you see this. Hmmm.
Quintin • 4:46:36 PM, Fri Mar 29, 2019
I'd be down. There is a dude from Yakima going to be at z club tonight and wanted me to go
Steven • 5:46:01 PM, Fri Mar 29, 2019
Waiting to hear from my connect about hooking me up with a ball. Just don't want to book the room and end up in it alone with no stuff and no company like has happened before. I'm not rich again just yet. Hahaha. If you have a prior engagement, though, go do that. I got to see you last night. Your Yakima friend hasn't seen you in a while.
Quintin • 5:54:26 PM, Fri Mar 29, 2019
Actually, never met. Talked allot, made multiple sets of plans, all fell through
Steven • 5:56:58 PM, Fri Mar 29, 2019
Well, I just booked. I'll be heading up there on the next bus. Staying at #### E. Madison.
Quintin • 6:09:24 PM, Fri Mar 29, 2019
Cool. I'll head there after work
Steven • 8:34:49 PM, Fri Mar 29, 2019
Dude from Yakima is going to a deal show at 930 at R place
Steven • 8:35:13 PM, Fri Mar 29, 2019
Sweet. I'll forward the entry instructions and address.
Quintin • 8:35:28 PM, Fri Mar 29, 2019
Deal show?
Quintin • 8:35:47 PM, Fri Mar 29, 2019
Drag?
Quintin • 8:35:54 PM, Fri Mar 29, 2019
#### East Madison @ ##th. When you arrive at the building use the door code #2#2#2 to buzz yourself in. The apartment number is ###. Use the elevator to get to the #th floor. The code for the room door is ####. To lock the door press the lock button.
Quintin • 8:37:32 PM, Fri Mar 29, 2019
I'm on the bus now. Probably getting there at 9:45.
Quintin • 8:38:40 PM, Fri Mar 29, 2019
I'm at the condo. You get off work at midnight?
Quintin • 10:40:10 PM, Fri Mar 29, 2019
I'm in route to there now right now I'm downtown be there in probably 10 minutes
Steven • 10:40:53 PM, Fri Mar 29, 2019
Oh, sweet! I haven't showered yet, and my guy will be dropping by to deliver a quarter.
Quintin • 10:41:36 PM, Fri Mar 29, 2019
Go to the street, I'm waking up now
Steven • 10:59:33 PM, Fri Mar 29, 2019
Walking
Steven • 10:59:38 PM, Fri Mar 29, 2019
Ok
Quintin • 10:59:48 PM, Fri Mar 29, 2019
Elevator is slow
Quintin • 11:01:47 PM, Fri Mar 29, 2019
So is my wit
Steven • 11:02:22 PM, Fri Mar 29, 2019
But you're a handsome devil!
Quintin • 11:02:45 PM, Fri Mar 29, 2019
I'm outside
Quintin • 11:03:19 PM, Fri Mar 29, 2019

Quintin • 10:29:18 AM, Sat Mar 30, 2019
Did they come back and take you?
Quintin • 10:42:55 AM, Sat Mar 30, 2019
Ordered your wireless qi charger and car mount. They arrive on Monday and Tuesday.
Quintin • 9:53:38 PM, Sat Mar 30, 2019
Awesome. Let me know how much and I'll pay you
Steven • 11:38:06 PM, Sat Mar 30, 2019
$40
Quintin • 11:38:27 PM, Sat Mar 30, 2019
Sweet
Steven • 11:38:44 PM, Sat Mar 30, 2019
No rush
Quintin • 11:38:54 PM, Sat Mar 30, 2019
I'll give you at least part of it tonight
Steven • 11:41:18 PM, Sat Mar 30, 2019
It's cool if you want to wait until you get your next check
Quintin • 11:42:23 PM, Sat Mar 30, 2019
I can track you down if you try any funny business. 😋
Quintin • 11:43:25 PM, Sat Mar 30, 2019
Just got done at work heading your way
Steven • 12:47:46 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
Yay!
Quintin • 12:48:31 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
Here
Steven • 1:38:15 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
Back door
Steven • 1:38:19 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
Damn it! I was just about to leave my keys out there
Quintin • 1:41:55 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
I think maybe we should take a little break from hanging out here and there. Maybe until you're settled and I am able to get into another place. You have too much on your plate as it is, and I don't particularly love the way I'm feeling at the moment. Perhaps with some stability under our belts things will be easier.
Quintin • 3:03:51 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
I understand. I'm sorry if I made you feel worse. That's never been my intention. I do like you a lot, and I consider you my real friend. I hope you don't think I've ever been trying to use you.
Steven • 3:09:03 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
I don't.
Quintin • 3:09:31 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
But, yes. I do understand, and I respect your opinion. I'll still text you if you don't mind.
Steven • 3:09:42 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
Sure.
Quintin • 3:10:35 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
I'll let you know when your stuff arrives.
Quintin • 3:11:06 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
If you want you can cancel the order, and we can just take care of it at another time
Steven • 3:12:09 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
No, it's alright. It's not a big deal. Consider it a parting gift of sorts. For now, at least.
Quintin • 3:13:54 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
....
Steven • 3:15:59 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
What's that for?
Quintin • 3:17:36 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
Just don't know what to say, I understand where you're coming from and all, but I'm sorry I was or am such an asshole.
Steven • 3:19:16 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
Not even two months and I'm already alienating and ruining friends.
Steven • 3:20:22 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
This shit, like, really hurts. And it's humiliating on top of it all. I'll get my big boy britches out of storage soon enough and make some adjustments, and we'll be fine.
Quintin • 3:21:18 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
I feel it. Between Frank and all that shit. And now I've made you feel even worse. On purpose or not, it happened.
Steven • 3:22:41 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
Just, for now at least, I have to find a win for me so I can ditch this feeling of being so completely unwanted.
Quintin • 3:22:57 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
I'm like a walking calamity crossed with a tornado. Anything in my path gets destroyed
Steven • 3:23:17 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
Or worse, a pity case.
Quintin • 3:23:25 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
You are wanted.
Steven • 3:23:30 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
You're not a potty case
Steven • 3:23:44 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
You're not a potty either
Steven • 3:24:02 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
Haha
Steven • 3:24:05 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
You have your reasons, and whatever those may be, I'm sure they're valid.
Quintin • 3:24:12 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
I think when I get a few checks under my belt and move out of this shithole I'll start to feel valuable again. I think I'll go to Portland for my birthday and reboot for a weekend.
Quintin • 3:26:28 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
Can you tell me though what changed tonight? You came over with one mindset and left of another, and I'd really like to understand.
Quintin • 3:28:36 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
Because from where I sit, it kind of confirms my suspicions about why my friends skip right over me when planning things or ghost me without so much as a fuck you. But I'd like to hear it from someone.
Quintin • 3:31:18 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
I feel so stupid! Uggh.
Quintin • 3:32:22 AM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
?
Quintin • 2:00:25 PM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
This? What you're doing right now? This is cruel. At least give me some truth here, man. Every minute of this silence with that question hanging in the air makes me nauseous -- physically sick from thinking how ridiculous and blind I've been to what you've maybe been trying to communicate for a while, but never straight up managed to say.
Quintin • 2:43:22 PM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
I was sleeping. I wasn't ignoring. I promise. When I talked to you in the afternoon yesterday I didn't feel as rough as I did last night. play today my voice is all raspy and my head hurts body hurts
Steven • 4:31:46 PM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
It's just that this is maybe the third time that it's happened, so it kinda seems pattern-y.
Quintin • 4:33:57 PM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
I can see that,.
Steven • 4:35:36 PM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
And I get it
Steven • 4:35:44 PM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
I'm sorry. I'm truly not trying to fuck with your feelings. I'm sorry that it seems like I'm doing this on purpose
Steven • 4:36:36 PM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
I'm not.
Steven • 4:36:49 PM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
You're an awesome man.
Steven • 4:37:05 PM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
Ok. Well, I'll take you at your word, but I want to reiterate that between friends, honesty is paramount for me. Between hearing something that might seem harsh or hurtful and knowing there's a truth being kept from me, the second us what cuts the deepest.
Quintin • 4:38:30 PM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
I can completely understand that
Steven • 4:40:28 PM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
Feel better.
Quintin • 4:40:56 PM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
I just slept for like 12 hours. I feel odd. Not exactly sure what I feel like. Sick-ish, groggy headed. Like an ass hole. All of the above
Steven • 4:42:40 PM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
I don't know about the other stuff, but I can't say I disagree with you on that last one right now.
Quintin • 4:47:32 PM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
Right.
Steven • 4:48:23 PM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
I just received notification that both of your packages should be arriving tomorrow. I'll hold onto them until there's a convenient time for you to come and get them.
Quintin • 5:35:28 PM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
Ok. Thank you. Probably Wednesday, I will have the $$ to pay you for them then.
Steven • 6:22:00 PM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
👍
Quintin • 6:22:30 PM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
I hate when I come off sounding insecure and needy. For one, it's not true. I know what an outstanding person I am, and I'm beginning to feel better about my physical features the more I consciously appreciate them with the help various sex partners. It's that so many gay men don't see it that I rail against. I apologize for allowing the shortcomings of so many before you inform my perception of the things you say and do when we talk or hang out. I'll try harder to remember that you are a friend first and foremost, and that whatever you may or may not do with regard to me as a sex partner is yours alone, and not the manifestation of a hundred other men who were so discourteous and ungrateful in their treatment of me and the talents I bring to bed with me. I really do hope you feel better soon. Good night.
Quintin • 8:34:20 PM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
Thank you. Quint, you're an amazing guy. I've never meant to make you feel like a second choice or a stop on the way. You're very good in bed, I've enjoyed the times that we had in bed, also I don't want to be half assing it. I think party of my problem is that I'm very comfortable around you and there for end up falling asleep. Sounds stupid I know, but really. I don't feel that secure around most.
Steven • 10:00:53 PM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
I do hope we stay close. I don't want to lose a friend (and more) over something that can be fixed.
Steven • 10:01:35 PM, Sun Mar 31, 2019
APRIL 2019
The Spring
We will. I just need to learn how to better interpret silences and remember that the voice in my head that sounds like me hates me, so I shouldn't listen when it whispers awful things to make me freak out on friends. I adore the sh!t out of you. You're probably the closest male friend I've had in a while, definitely since moving to Tacoma, and I have no intention of making that go away. That being said, please just know that I have an evil voice in my head that hates me and that I tend to take silence for the worst possible meaning sometimes. But I'm working on it, and you should feel free to tell me when you see I'm doing it. 🧡
Quintin • 9:27:19 AM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
And as my closest male friend, I would just ask you to maybe cut back on the asshole moves so I don't have anything to read into incorrectly quite as often. 😋
Quintin • 9:31:04 AM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
Ok. Sounds good. My evil voice doesn't hate me. It just likes to see me squirm
Steven • 12:02:09 PM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
So do I, as a matter of fact.
Quintin • 12:02:49 PM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
So I can come over after work tonight, or if you'd prefer I can come over in the morning tomorrow. I won't have the $$ until after work either way
Steven • 12:13:47 PM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
Either way works for me. What's most convenient for you?
Quintin • 12:27:57 PM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
And I already told you that you don't have to pay me back until your next paycheck.
Quintin • 12:28:39 PM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
I'm easy, either is good for me also. I'll text you tonight when I'm off work. Maybe one of us will have a preference then. Haha
Steven • 12:29:05 PM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
What time are you off work?
Quintin • 12:29:49 PM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
I know you did. But I don't want to have them without paying, and I don't want to wait till next weekend
Steven • 12:30:10 PM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
And 10 ish
Steven • 12:30:19 PM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
Ok. If it's between tonight or morning time, I'd prefer tonight.
Quintin • 12:31:07 PM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
Ok.
Steven • 12:33:49 PM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
So it's slow at work tonight. I probably won't make enough to pay you. I may have to wait till the weekend. I can still come over if you want. It's your call.
Steven • 7:45:45 PM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
Of course. I always want to see you, and I'm not worried about the money.
Quintin • 7:46:50 PM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
But if you're tired and want to wait till tomorrow morning, that's fine, too.
Quintin • 7:50:21 PM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
I'm not tired like I was the other night
Steven • 8:11:02 PM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
🥳
Quintin • 8:11:47 PM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
How are you feeling? Any worse?
Quintin • 8:12:04 PM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
Actually much better. My back still hurts but I think that's from all the driving
Steven • 8:32:28 PM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
Shall I prepare the Jojoba and/or Almond oils?
Quintin • 8:33:25 PM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
That would be fine by me
Steven • 9:42:13 PM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
Hehe 👹😈
Steven • 9:42:31 PM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
Consider it done
Quintin • 9:42:35 PM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
Almost there. Be there in a minute
Steven • 10:42:12 PM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
Ok.
Quintin • 10:44:46 PM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
Here. Meet you at the back door
Steven • 10:48:35 PM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
Here
Quintin • 10:50:45 PM, Tue Apr 02, 2019
It's going to rain all day, so if you find yourself with nothing to do because of the weather, feel free to come back over here and spoon!
Quintin • 7:55:34 AM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
Ok
Steven • 8:29:44 AM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
😉
Quintin • 8:30:20 AM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
God Damned sun! Always fucking shit up.
Quintin • 1:47:28 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
Right
Steven • 3:47:28 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
I fell back asleep earlier, just woke back up
Steven • 3:47:46 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
How's your day off going?
Quintin • 3:47:46 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
Hahaha
Quintin • 3:48:17 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
Oops!
Quintin • 3:48:23 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
Basically
Steven • 3:48:44 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
What are you doing? What are you doing?
Steven • 4:02:12 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
What
Steven • 4:02:17 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
Just making fresh pitchers of tea, cleaning up my inbox(es), and trying to psych myself into rearranging furniture
Quintin • 4:04:42 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
What what what what what are you doing you?
Quintin • 4:05:12 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
I am running to the payday loan place and then I'm not sure besidess going to Federal way around 6
Steven • 4:05:49 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
Cool. I'm around if you want a pitstop. 😋
Quintin • 4:06:47 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
And before you say it, yes, I don't mind being a pitstop now and then, so long as once in a while I'm the destination. Hahahaha I'm complex. I have layers.
Quintin • 4:09:32 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
Like an onion or a trifle
Steven • 4:10:40 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
Maybe a chocolate cake
Steven • 4:10:47 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
Yes. Like puff pastry. I'm a friggin cannoli.
Quintin • 4:12:26 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
Full of cream, huh?
Steven • 4:18:29 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
Not in some time, no.
Quintin • 4:19:01 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
LOL
Quintin • 4:19:06 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
On my way to your place be there in a few. Sorry it took so long, but I need to leave to go to Federal Way
Steven • 5:36:47 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
Ok
Quintin • 5:37:13 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
Wait. If you have to go to FedWay at 6:00, why are you still coming here?
Quintin • 5:48:59 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
I'm out back
Steven • 5:50:46 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
On my way.
Quintin • 5:50:55 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
By the back door
Steven • 5:50:57 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
Heading home then over to your place.
Steven • 8:47:50 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
Awesome. Um... I'm going to need your help after all. I did a bad thing.
Quintin • 8:48:37 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
Quintin • 8:49:16 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
Awesome looks like fun
Steven • 8:50:47 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
I am / We are going to want a shower after hauling all this cardboard downstairs.
Quintin • 9:26:40 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
Maybe I can find a way to put it all aside and we won't have to mess with it.
Quintin • 9:27:56 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
I'm almost to your house
Steven • 9:36:00 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
On my way down
Quintin • 9:38:46 PM, Wed Apr 03, 2019
Heading back to your place. Be there in a minute.
Steven • 7:54:49 AM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Ok
Quintin • 7:56:51 AM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
I still didn't cum
Steven • 7:57:22 AM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Me either
Quintin • 7:57:46 AM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Coming.
Quintin • 8:02:04 AM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Steven • 10:26:09 AM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Found it
Steven • 10:26:13 AM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Where???
Quintin • 10:26:30 AM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
In the alley we were talking about going to the Pride block party.
Steven • 10:26:27 AM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Aah. Yay! Now back to my dick's regularly scheduled beating. Later.
Quintin • 10:27:25 AM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Maybe next time in lieu of the show and tell of all your favorite fuck buddies a little tug down there to help this one out a bit could be substituted. If I'm being picky. 😉
Quintin • 10:30:12 AM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
*nit-picky
Quintin • 10:30:35 AM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Aaaand I just realized how much that sounded like a negative performance review from a supervisor. Hahaha Not at all my intention; I had a fantastic time.
Quintin • 10:44:38 AM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
schofieldtrip@gmail.com
Steven • 12:49:05 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Is his email address spelled right? 2 C's and only 1 t in that first name?
Quintin • 1:26:18 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Scchaty@smalltownk12.org
Steven • 1:33:47 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Ok. Just double checking.
Quintin • 1:34:07 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Scooter Chaty is his name
Steven • 1:34:10 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Ah. Ok. That makes sense.
Quintin • 1:35:04 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Ok. I'm going back to the task at ✋, still working on that damned nut. Later!
Quintin • 1:36:07 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
I gave up on that for now.
Steven • 1:42:58 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
I'm determined. Plus, you'll definitely have another opportunity before I do. So,😋
Quintin • 1:44:59 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Steven • 1:45:57 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Hmm. That might actually help this situation! Thanks
Quintin • 1:46:26 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
That's what I made for dinner for my cousins. Dubbed "Rory-Noodles". I don't think I'll keep that name.
Steven • 1:46:32 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Haha
Steven • 1:46:45 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Could probably stand a new name, yeah. Why'd ya have to bring HIM up this very moment? Jeez.
Quintin • 1:46:59 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Steven • 1:47:39 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
#Cruel
Quintin • 1:48:07 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Just killed it didn't I?
Steven • 1:48:23 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Steven • 1:48:25 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
In the bad not good way
Steven • 1:48:35 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Haha
Steven • 1:48:37 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
No, dumb ass! You're making it worse! LOL I want you to play with it, but you're all the way out in P'allup avoiding me.
Quintin • 1:49:29 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
April 15
Quintin • 1:52:27 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Oops sorry. That text wasn't for you
Quintin • 1:55:36 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
I don't think I'm gonna make it to the 🥁 circle tonight. I'm teetering between too tired and too horny, so I'll probably stay home and try to lure in some dick until I get laid or pass out. Probably not both. 😉
Quintin • 3:49:21 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Haha. Ok. I'll hit you up when I'm done there, see if your still up
Steven • 3:50:15 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Ok
Quintin • 3:50:51 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
You work early tomorrow, or afternoon?
Quintin • 8:38:49 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Afternoon, why what's up?
Steven • 8:46:13 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Nothing, really. I was just going to see what you were doing in the morning. I am gonna have to go down to PCAF on S. 40th to apply for rental assistance, and was just thinking of how to get there. I have bus passes, but thought, you know, if you happened to be driving around, then maybe I would see if I could hop a ride. But only if you had nothing going on.
Quintin • 8:49:27 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Yah I can do that
Steven • 8:50:36 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
You sure? I seriously don't want to put you out of the way and make you rushed or anything.
Quintin • 8:51:21 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Like I said, I do have plenty of bus passes
Quintin • 8:51:37 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
I was just sipping my mushroom tea, so the thought occurred to me.
Quintin • 8:52:10 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
As long as I can get a couple bucks for
Steven • 8:53:47 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Of course.
Quintin • 8:54:05 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Gas
Steven • 8:58:14 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Haha
Steven • 8:58:15 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Anticip-
Quintin • 8:58:27 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Yah what time do you need to go? I have to head to Seattle at 2
Steven • 8:58:50 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
I'm double checking their hours now, but it would be around 9:00 if I want to get some free groceries while I wait for my piece of shit case manager to get my shit together.
Quintin • 9:00:14 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
And I can take the bus back. Not sure how long it will take.
Quintin • 9:00:38 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
This cold tea I had left over isn't gonna give me a full repeat of last night, right?
Quintin • 9:03:17 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
If so, lawd!
Quintin • 9:03:27 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Not a full repeat. And I will be there at 9
Steven • 10:33:40 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Yeah... figured it out. Ok, thanks.
Quintin • 10:34:25 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
You ok?
Steven • 10:34:43 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
I mean, am I ever? LOL
Quintin • 10:35:13 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Fair rebuttal
Steven • 10:35:37 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Yeah, man. I'm cool.
Quintin • 10:35:37 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Haha. Grillin'?
Steven • 10:36:00 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Yeah, but mildly.
Quintin • 10:36:18 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Got me in my head a little.
Quintin • 10:36:40 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Yah, that'll happen when grillin' ala uno
Steven • 10:37:19 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
Mmmhmmm
Quintin • 10:37:33 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
You ever get your nut?
Quintin • 10:38:46 PM, Thu Apr 04, 2019
I'm an idiot. It's Friday, not Thursday. I don't have to go in quite so early. Hope you get to sleep in a little. Sorry for the late night text!
Quintin • 2:12:05 AM, Fri Apr 05, 2019
Good morning, sunshine! Hope you are rested and ready to take on the world. Just wanted to check in and see what the revised timing of our trip down to PCAF will be. What sounds good to you?
Quintin • 8:56:12 AM, Fri Apr 05, 2019
I'll head over to you shortly.
Steven • 9:07:31 AM, Fri Apr 05, 2019
Sounds good. Everything okay?
Quintin • 9:15:59 AM, Fri Apr 05, 2019
Yeah, here, front door
Steven • 9:39:52 AM, Fri Apr 05, 2019
Hey, let me in.
Steven • 9:42:12 AM, Fri Apr 05, 2019

Quintin • 9:58:07 AM, Fri Apr 05, 2019
Home sweet home! Thanks again for taking me over there. Sorry if I was a bit flustered. I may have come off a bit short, but it wasn't meant to be directed at you. Have a safe drive up and a good night at work.
Quintin • 1:04:50 PM, Fri Apr 05, 2019
You didn't come across that short. You still seemed like you were 6'4" to me.
Steven • 1:09:45 PM, Fri Apr 05, 2019
Quintin • 1:10:31 PM, Fri Apr 05, 2019
I'll take that additional inch you just bestowed to me and allocate it further south. Thanks!
Quintin • 1:11:33 PM, Fri Apr 05, 2019
Steven • 1:12:36 PM, Fri Apr 05, 2019
Hahahaha
Quintin • 1:12:52 PM, Fri Apr 05, 2019
The amount of time this morning's second piss took. The first one was so long, I had to remind myself to time the next one.
Quintin • 10:02:04 AM, Sat Apr 06, 2019
Quintin • 10:02:10 AM, Sat Apr 06, 2019
Wow
Steven • 1:20:06 PM, Sat Apr 06, 2019
Super informative text messaging right there.
Quintin • 1:20:45 PM, Sat Apr 06, 2019
Hahahaha
Quintin • 1:20:52 PM, Sat Apr 06, 2019
Right. I'm at work currently
Steven • 1:22:34 PM, Sat Apr 06, 2019
Ok. I won't bug ya. Have a good shift.
Quintin • 1:26:17 PM, Sat Apr 06, 2019
Never a bug.
Steven • 1:30:20 PM, Sat Apr 06, 2019
But thank you.
Steven • 1:30:26 PM, Sat Apr 06, 2019
FYI: the chewable generic Cialis be WORKIN'. I took one last night and now every time the wind blows I get a raging hard on
Quintin • 7:25:33 PM, Sat Apr 06, 2019
Awesome
Steven • 7:57:44 PM, Sat Apr 06, 2019
And I owe you one, so don't let me forget next time I see you.
Quintin • 8:05:33 PM, Sat Apr 06, 2019
😋
Steven • 8:05:52 PM, Sat Apr 06, 2019
I have accepted the offer. $48,100
Steven • 10:14:52 PM, Sat Apr 06, 2019
YAY!!!
Quintin • 8:29:57 AM, Sun Apr 07, 2019
That's great news, Steven!
Quintin • 8:30:17 AM, Sun Apr 07, 2019
Thank you. Isn't it though....
Steven • 8:55:08 AM, Sun Apr 07, 2019
That means I'll get to see less of you, since you will soon be able to get a place up there. But I'm really happy for you.
Quintin • 8:56:29 AM, Sun Apr 07, 2019
That's not true
Steven • 5:32:24 PM, Sun Apr 07, 2019
Just means you'll have to come visit more
Steven • 5:32:42 PM, Sun Apr 07, 2019
😋
Quintin • 6:06:47 PM, Sun Apr 07, 2019
Busy today?
Quintin • 10:42:22 AM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
Before I message my connect in Seattle, I thought I'd check with you to see if you might be in the vicinity and perhaps able to score some decenT stuff. If not, it's cool. Just thought I'd save myself a trip to the Hill and back if you were.
Quintin • 10:44:26 AM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
Ya
Steven • 10:44:57 AM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
In Puyallup
Steven • 10:45:16 AM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
Yes, busy? Or yes, the second part? Hahaha
Quintin • 10:45:49 AM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
I need to start a load of laundry. But I can come over after that. I have some.
Steven • 10:48:14 AM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
I don't want to use up your supply. Hahaha I was going to try to re-up today and finish the rearranging that I started last week.
Quintin • 10:49:19 AM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
Nice. And I'm not worried about my supply. I aquired it a couple days ago
Steven • 10:50:19 AM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
Well, I appreciate that, steeped in secrecy though it may be.
Quintin • 10:51:14 AM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
I ran out Friday and ended up sleeping all weekend.
Quintin • 10:51:49 AM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
Which was not a bad thing, just lost some days of productivity.
Quintin • 10:52:28 AM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
Yeah but sometimes sleep is better than productivity or whatever.
Steven • 10:53:40 AM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
For sure.
Quintin • 10:53:55 AM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
Ok. Well, just give me a heads up when you're on your way. I'm trying to tame my kitchen right now.
Quintin • 10:54:33 AM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
I just got up myself. Slept from like 6pm till just a lil bit ago.
Steven • 10:54:39 AM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
Haha ok
Steven • 10:54:51 AM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
Nice.
Quintin • 10:54:52 AM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
BTW, got some new designs done!
Quintin • 11:22:01 AM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
Quintin • 11:22:05 AM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
Quintin • 11:22:08 AM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
Nice
Steven • 11:36:32 AM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
I'm almost to your place like not very far away
Steven • 12:45:21 PM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
Ok. Give me a minute. Gotta put on pants and stuff!
Quintin • 12:46:00 PM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
I'm out back
Quintin • 12:54:18 PM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
I know. I saw you just take out your garbage.
Steven • 12:54:32 PM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
If you *were* to come back by later on, ballpark estimate, when do you think that might be?
Quintin • 2:21:21 PM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
Trying to plot out my chores and errands accordingly.
Quintin • 2:23:53 PM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
6ish
Steven • 2:36:05 PM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
OK
Quintin • 2:36:24 PM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
Oh, jeez. I'm a lunkhead! I also meant to give you some cash for the T you gave me. I'm putting together a list of things to give to you when you come back so (maybe) I won't forget. Dur! 😜
Quintin • 2:48:03 PM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
Haha. No worries
Steven • 5:49:30 PM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
I just got back to my cousin's. Still coming back over, just a lil behind schedule. Sorry. I'll be leaving here soon.
Steven • 5:50:23 PM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
I hope that it isn't too disruptive to your agenda today.
Steven • 5:50:45 PM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
No worries
Quintin • 5:50:49 PM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
😋 it isn't TOO disruptive, no. Not this time.
Quintin • 5:51:25 PM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
Smartass

Quintin • 5:53:51 PM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
Some of these bitmoji are overflowing in needy.
Quintin • 5:54:15 PM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
Hey, I don't suppose those black soccer socks are in the laundry you're doing now, are they?
Quintin • 6:02:50 PM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
They are in the dryer actually, yes. I am already in route to your place. I can bring them to you tomorrow.
Steven • 6:04:37 PM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
No worries.
Quintin • 6:05:54 PM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
Back door
Steven • 6:38:20 PM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
Omw
Quintin • 6:39:00 PM, Mon Apr 08, 2019
Thanks again for spending so much of your day / night off with me. I think I'm going to call it a night. Sorry if I started to make it awkward there at the end or if I came across all predatory. I'm horny AF, and this metropolitan location has little to offer me in that category, so I tend to dump a lot of that need in your lap. Hahahaha
Quintin • 12:53:39 AM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
No worries
Steven • 12:27:09 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
You awake? Want me to bring you those socks?
Steven • 12:27:29 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
I am. And you don't have to make a special trip for those. Just whenever you are already going to be over this way is fine
Quintin • 12:28:53 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
I was just thinking I'd swing over there drop them off, I hang out with you and smoke a bowl and then head to work.
Steven • 12:29:20 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
Oh, well in that case, sure!
Quintin • 12:29:43 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
Cool I'll message you when I'm heading over.
Steven • 12:33:29 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
You can come catch my keys from the kitchen window.
Quintin • 12:33:31 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
K
Quintin • 12:33:34 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
Be there in about 15 minutes
Steven • 1:02:46 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
My kitchen window is open. Come around the side of the building and I'll drop 'em down to you.
Quintin • 1:04:06 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
Ok
Steven • 1:17:43 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
Did you get Antoine's text? Will you be able to go by and pick that up for me?
Quintin • 7:06:54 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
Yes and yes. I'll text you when I'm off.
Steven • 7:48:21 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
I texted him back that I'll let him know when I'm off
Steven • 7:48:36 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
Thank you, Steven.
Quintin • 7:48:56 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
Getting gas. I'm stopping by the bank and then to your buddy's and on to yours.
Steven • 9:11:33 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
You're the best!
Quintin • 9:11:56 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
Just got off work. That got cut from the last message
Steven • 9:11:58 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
Drive safely.
Quintin • 9:14:10 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
Just getting to Antoine's
Steven • 9:37:08 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
Ok.
Quintin • 9:37:38 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
leaving Antoine's right now
Steven • 9:45:39 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
Thanks for the play-by-play, but it's not necessary. Hahaha
Quintin • 9:46:48 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
I'll see you in a bit.
Quintin • 9:47:01 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
Yo yo yo, I gots more..Come and let me in, I'm at the back door
Steven • 10:40:31 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
On my way, MC Stoopid.
Quintin • 10:40:44 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
You left the power cord.
Quintin • 11:59:14 PM, Tue Apr 09, 2019
Shit. I'll come back in a few
Steven • 12:06:18 AM, Wed Apr 10, 2019

Must be busy. Hit me up later if ya want
Steven • 7:03:24 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
Hey. Sorry. Dozed off
Quintin • 7:04:39 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
What are you doing?
Quintin • 7:07:11 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
Is it still raining? I was waiting for it to stop so I could go buy groceries and get some damned food in this house. Homie be HONGRY.
Quintin • 7:15:32 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
Driving 99 South, around mid way Des Moines
Steven • 7:15:54 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
Want me to take you to the store?
Steven • 7:16:28 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
Ok. Talk to you when it's safe.
Quintin • 7:16:29 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
I can walk up to Stadium Thriftway. Unless you're just bored and wanting to go shopping with me.
Quintin • 7:17:42 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
Hey Quintin I'm here
Steven • 7:55:09 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
Well I'm pulling down the street right now
Steven • 7:55:17 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
About to turn the corner in between Stir and not Stir.
Steven • 7:55:30 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
I am now turning the
Steven • 7:55:34 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
On my way to the rear entrance.
Quintin • 7:55:35 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
Have turned
Steven • 7:55:40 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
Now going to the alley
Steven • 7:55:49 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
There is a spot
Steven • 7:55:53 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
I will have to go up halfway and turn around to get
Steven • 7:55:59 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
But you know I'm not scared of halfway to get something
Steven • 7:56:13 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
I have
Steven • 7:56:21 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
Turned
Steven • 7:56:25 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
I'm at the elevator.
Quintin • 7:56:25 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
Around
Steven • 7:56:30 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
Called the car
Quintin • 7:56:34 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
In it
Quintin • 7:56:35 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
First floor
Quintin • 7:56:39 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
Basement
Quintin • 7:56:43 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
Well I'm glad you have made it to the elevator
Steven • 7:56:45 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
I think you would beat me to the back door
Steven • 7:56:54 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
Outside
Quintin • 7:57:02 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
I have now parallel parked
Steven • 7:57:07 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
Beautifully I might add
Steven • 7:57:18 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
Indeed
Quintin • 7:57:48 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
What I was trying to say before, but it was too awkward, was that I came to the realization that I can't keep letting myself expect sexy time stuff from you or any other friend with benefits and letting it ruin me for days afterward when it doesn't happen. First of all, you aren't beholden to me for that kind of shit, and secondly, it's childish of me to pout over a bruised ego whenever someone doesn't respond to my sexual advances. So I vowed to stop expecting it altogether, thereby eliminating the second part. I'm now Captain Maturity, even if I do still have a mild case of the blue balls. 😁
Quintin • 10:53:20 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
You have effectively been friend zoned, for all intents and purposes.
Quintin • 10:54:15 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
Take tonight, for instance. Old me would be very disgruntled right now, but Captain Maturity knew from the start that this was going to be a purely platonic visit, so there wasn't anything to be hurt about. #adultingishard
Quintin • 10:56:16 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
I get that and I'm sorry for sounding like a conceited stupid fucking asshole and you may disagree that I sounded like that but I feel like I did and I apologize for that. Sometimes I wish I had the ability to hit the undo button for things I have said cuz I feel like maybe I wouldn't feel like such a dumbass all the time
Steven • 11:16:49 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
I mean, yeah, it wasn't maybe the nicest thing to say at that particular moment, but Captain Maturity wasn't phazed by it, so you're good.
Quintin • 11:18:11 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
Hahaha, I'm sorry I can be a douchebag sometimes lot of times
Steven • 11:19:17 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
I don't discount that, but you're still pretty cool.
Quintin • 11:19:49 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
Well thank you. I think you're fucking awesome too.
Steven • 11:20:23 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
😉
Quintin • 11:20:36 PM, Wed Apr 10, 2019
Have a great shift. And be safe driving/riding up in this shitty rain!
Quintin • 5:59:49 AM, Thu Apr 11, 2019
Thank you
Steven • 6:04:53 AM, Thu Apr 11, 2019
Did you say this was the guy that jacked you?
Steven • 10:35:50 AM, Thu Apr 11, 2019
He's hit me up a couple times. Should I meet and jump him?
Steven • 10:35:59 AM, Thu Apr 11, 2019
No, I don't think that's him.
Quintin • 10:36:32 AM, Thu Apr 11, 2019
Ok
Steven • 10:36:42 AM, Thu Apr 11, 2019
But that is possibly the sweetest offer of violence anyone has ever made for me!
Quintin • 10:37:11 AM, Thu Apr 11, 2019

My drone sold for $255.01 + $98 shipping +TN sales tax. Just waiting for the guy to submit payment. And I picked up my rent check while I was dealing with a last minute bidder wanting me to cancel his $300 bid an hour before the auction ended.
Quintin • 4:59:34 PM, Thu Apr 11, 2019
So I had a very productive day, by all accounts and measures. Now it's time to start working on a suitable reward for myself!
Quintin • 5:01:44 PM, Thu Apr 11, 2019
Very nice I'm not going to the drum circle and so I don't have anything planned for the evening until a little bit after 8 I want to hang out I'm still in Seattle but I'll be coming down that way shortly
Steven • 5:03:47 PM, Thu Apr 11, 2019
Hang out with me?
Quintin • 5:04:31 PM, Thu Apr 11, 2019
It's voice command a read it weird. it was supposed to be a question asking you if you want to hang out
Steven • 5:04:58 PM, Thu Apr 11, 2019
Wow! My cup runneth over this week. You're spoiling me. Of course! I always want to hang out with you, pit stops included.
Quintin • 5:05:42 PM, Thu Apr 11, 2019
😋
Quintin • 5:05:46 PM, Thu Apr 11, 2019
My douchebag spill it out
Steven • 5:06:24 PM, Thu Apr 11, 2019
Spilleth
Steven • 5:06:45 PM, Thu Apr 11, 2019
I'm giving my douchebag a couple of nights off. It's put in a lot of hard work night after night after night lately with no reward for all that effort. Maybe it'll be ready to get back in the game by tomorrow night.
Quintin • 5:21:23 PM, Thu Apr 11, 2019
Turning onto St Helens off of 4th right now
Steven • 6:51:48 PM, Thu Apr 11, 2019
Ok. I'll head downstairs to the anus of the bldg.
Quintin • 6:52:19 PM, Thu Apr 11, 2019
Fuck. I just remembered they're going to be doing fire drills tomorrow all day and entering each apartment. I'm going to have to forego that much wanted massage in favor of clearing out these boxes and making the place presentable after all. Grrrr! Wish me luck.
Quintin • 8:05:11 PM, Thu Apr 11, 2019
Here is the standard price list he sent me. Don't circulate.
- 1 gram $45
- 1.75 grams (Teener) $65
- 3.5 grams (8-ball) $110
- 7 grams (quarter) $175
- 14 grams (half) $280
- 28 grams (full/zip) $485
Quintin • 11:19:02 PM, Fri Apr 12, 2019
Eek. That's pricey
Steven • 11:19:41 PM, Fri Apr 12, 2019
Tell me about it.
Quintin • 11:19:57 PM, Fri Apr 12, 2019
But then he usually makes sure I only get the high quality stuff.
Quintin • 11:20:32 PM, Fri Apr 12, 2019
Still, yeah
Quintin • 11:20:38 PM, Fri Apr 12, 2019
Got a customer lined up for you.
Quintin • 11:38:48 AM, Sat Apr 13, 2019
He's wanting to buy either an eighth or a quarter. What price should I tell him again? I'm terrible with numbers.
Quintin • 11:39:37 AM, Sat Apr 13, 2019
30 for an eighth. 55 quarter
Steven • 11:40:02 AM, Sat Apr 13, 2019
He says your prices suck delicious cock. I think that was meant in the best way.
Quintin • 11:44:58 AM, Sat Apr 13, 2019
Haha
Steven • 11:47:01 AM, Sat Apr 13, 2019
Did you manage to get your stuff last night? Did you end up going through Antoine?
Quintin • 6:00:16 PM, Sat Apr 13, 2019
I did get some. Not through Antoine, he was out
Steven • 12:42:02 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
What are you up to
Steven • 12:42:08 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Cooking. Downloading new porn. Chilling.
Quintin • 12:42:38 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Cool
Steven • 12:43:42 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Debating on what to do\where to go
Steven • 12:44:02 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Still prowling in hope of finding a slow member of the herd to pounce upon and have my way.
Quintin • 12:44:05 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Haha
Steven • 12:44:21 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
You're welcome here if you want, but no biggie if you rather stay up there.
Quintin • 12:45:10 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
I'm probably not going to be able to do anything tomorrow night or the rest of the week.
Quintin • 12:45:53 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Want to be sharp my first week at work.
Quintin • 12:46:19 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
So, early to bed, early to rise and all that shit.
Quintin • 12:46:51 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Gonna go downstairs and see if I can scare up a little end of night dick.
Quintin • 12:51:43 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
*but do let me know one way or the other once you figure out what you want to do so I can also plan accordingly, if you don't mind.
Quintin • 1:03:42 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Please and thank you!
Quintin • 1:04:04 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
I'm heading to your place
Steven • 1:26:13 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Ok. See you in a bit.
Quintin • 1:26:49 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Here
Steven • 2:05:22 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Where are you at?
Steven • 2:05:41 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
OMW
Quintin • 2:05:41 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Back door
Quintin • 2:10:18 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Coming
Steven • 2:10:30 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Where are you?
Quintin • 2:10:41 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
BTW, I hope we can bump your official friend count up to 3 in the near future, once you get comfortable with the fact that I'm not gonna ghost, flake, crack, or latch on you like a lovesick sucker fish. 3 is a great number. 😉
Quintin • 11:22:58 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Though, as an officially licensed friend, you're likely to get double the stubborn, triple the calling you out when needed, and ten times the complaining about boys, blue balls, and bad boinks, so you might want to take that into consideration. LOL
Quintin • 11:26:17 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Haha. 3 friends. I like it
Steven • 11:42:02 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Steven • 11:42:52 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
You'll be rolling in cubic friendship.
Quintin • 11:43:13 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
LORDT, just try not to knock us all up at the same time.
Quintin • 11:43:50 AM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Were you still planning on coming back by here today?
Quintin • 1:23:02 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
I'm not going to have time
Steven • 1:25:05 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Ok. Just wanted to know so I could do something else if you weren't.. Have a good shift!
Quintin • 1:26:15 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Thank you
Steven • 1:26:34 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Oops. Found your torch under the pillows.
Quintin • 8:04:17 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Yah. I knew I left it. I'll get it later
Steven • 8:05:33 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
How's your night
Steven • 8:05:37 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
😭
Quintin • 8:06:30 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Nah. It's fine. I'm just watching TV.
Quintin • 8:06:58 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
That's good. I'm taking a lil break, when I go back inside I'm sending the only server home.
Steven • 8:07:42 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
It will be me and the cook and dishwasher. That's it
Steven • 8:08:01 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
For another 2 hrs?
Quintin • 8:08:45 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Slow night?
Quintin • 8:08:52 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Another 2 yes. And yes slow. Had a server call out. Couldn't find coverage
Steven • 8:12:13 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
So Managery sounding! It's turning me on!
Quintin • 8:13:11 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Haha
Steven • 8:13:47 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Ggrlowl
Steven • 8:13:57 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
😋 TTYL
Quintin • 8:13:59 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
It's very likely that I will fall asleep watching TV, but if you were planning to come by tonight, I will set an alarm to make sure I'm up when you get here.
Quintin • 8:26:26 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Wow. My body is such a submissive little bitch bottom that it woke itself up to check on you. Jeez.
Quintin • 11:23:24 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
But now my ego is so embarrassed by my body's stupid bottom subservient bullshit that it's being an alpha top switch and swallowing all the remaining fuck's to be given, cause it don't give a fuck what my body wants.
Quintin • 11:30:59 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
And in a surprise move that nobody saw coming, my sense of reality stepped in and put both of them in time out, reminding us all that it's nearing midnight on the eve of my first day at work, and that if you were going to give two shits, you'd have been all over that reply button by now, so we should all take our grown asses back to bed and focus on what is best for Quintin Brent Quintin for a damn change instead of squabbling to check on somebody else or to save face and seem indifferent. I'm gonna listen to that one, I think. G'night.😴
Quintin • 11:43:08 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Haha
Steven • 11:45:18 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Was driving.
Steven • 11:45:23 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
As much as I do enjoy kikn' it witcha, yes. Tomorrow is your first day of work at a new job. I didn't want to be a distraction or insentive to not get sleep. You need some sleep my good man.
Steven • 11:47:15 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
I am nearing sleep myself
Steven • 11:47:33 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Almost back to my cousin's
Steven • 11:47:49 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019
Cool. Later.
Quintin • 11:48:14 PM, Sun Apr 14, 2019

Survived Day 1!!! 👔👑🦄
Quintin • 3:48:40 PM, Mon Apr 15, 2019
Quintin • 3:48:46 PM, Mon Apr 15, 2019
Blue balls and all!
Quintin • 3:51:36 PM, Mon Apr 15, 2019
IKR? I was super proud of myself, too!
Quintin • 5:41:06 PM, Mon Apr 15, 2019
Awesome
Steven • 12:57:05 AM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
I'm proud of you, too
Steven • 12:57:12 AM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
Thanks.
Quintin • 12:20:16 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
How's work?
Steven • 12:35:13 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
So far so good.
Quintin • 12:53:38 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
How's day off?
Quintin • 12:53:39 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
Went to Yakima yesterday. Just woke up today and I'm going to go smoke some weed with my friend and then I have dinner plans at Frank's house.
Steven • 12:54:40 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
Nice.
Quintin • 1:20:06 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
My gear from TIM arrived today! Lots of good shit, too. When you have a chance, you can come by and see if there's anything that's too small for me that you might want.
Quintin • 2:56:08 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
Are you home?
Steven • 4:24:21 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
Not at the moment. I went home for lunch, and will be back in half an hour or so.
Quintin • 4:25:01 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
Cool I can meet you there then
Steven • 4:25:44 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
Oh, ok. Cool. I thought you were in Yakima still for some reason.
Quintin • 4:26:16 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
Nope
Steven • 4:31:53 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
The view from my office.
Quintin • 4:32:01 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
Quintin • 4:32:05 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
Haha I was down at Parkland but now heading up to downtown
Steven • 4:32:05 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
Quintin • 4:32:08 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
Tacoma that is
Steven • 4:32:09 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
You're a hard man to keep track of, sir.
Quintin • 4:32:32 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
Leaving the office now.
Quintin • 4:48:10 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
Thanks, by the way, for the unfiltered compliment about my haircut. I always get great insight when you don't have time to think about how to phrase something. I'd say that you shouldn't ever feel like you need to tiptoe around with your opinions about me, but I'm not sure it's safe to give you carte blanche just yet, considering how sensitive I can be about my looks, my HIV, and my overall fuckability.
Quintin • 8:29:21 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
I'm a royal douche sometimes. I know this. I am actively working on this. However... I don't have a however.
Steven • 9:07:14 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
Your hair looks good
Steven • 9:07:24 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
😁
Quintin • 9:07:42 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
Thanks. So does yours.
Quintin • 9:07:54 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
Thank you. Most people don't notice when I've shaved my head
Steven • 9:11:30 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
🤗
Steven • 9:11:42 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
Most people don't get to spend hours spooning you while you sleep.
Quintin • 9:12:06 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
Tooshy
Steven • 9:12:59 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
I mean touche'
Steven • 9:13:09 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
LOL
Quintin • 9:13:11 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
So, I probably won't ever go with you to the bathhouse, BUT...
Quintin • 9:15:39 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
I'm not opposed to getting another Airbnb up there one weekend soon for maybe a second attempt at hosting a little PNP fun.
Quintin • 9:17:35 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
Oh, and I hate to ask, but if you *happen* to have that other $20 from the charger/mount order available this week without putting yourself in a bind, I could really use it. I don't even have $for laundry or smokes, and payday isn't until the 29th or so.
Quintin • 10:23:57 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
If not, it's cool. I'll figure something out.
Quintin • 10:24:28 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
Let me look at what I got, I'm sure I can swing it. Can it wait til tomorrow though?
Steven • 10:25:21 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
Of course
Quintin • 10:27:13 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
And seriously, I don't want you to go without either. If you can't spare it right now, it really is ok.
Quintin • 10:28:05 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
I'm sure I'll be able to
Steven • 10:28:44 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
Cool. Thanks, Steven. Sleep well.
Quintin • 10:29:31 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
You too
Steven • 10:30:09 PM, Tue Apr 16, 2019
What time do you have to leave for work today?
Quintin • 11:32:46 AM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Or is it an early work day? I forget.
Quintin • 11:33:10 AM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
I'm at work.
Steven • 11:41:56 AM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Ok. I'll talk to you later this evening then. Have a good shift.
Quintin • 11:42:28 AM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Thank you. You too
Steven • 1:00:58 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Do you have the cash app?
Steven • 3:53:52 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Yessir.
Quintin • 3:54:01 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
$QuintinTacoma
Quintin • 3:54:49 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Just got a copy of the payroll schedule, and it's crappier than I thought. I won't get paid for these first two weeks until May 3.
Quintin • 3:56:51 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Eek
Steven • 3:57:25 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
But the good news is that I just discovered $2.63 in my CashApp balance!
Quintin • 3:57:52 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
I'll send you $30 when I'm off
Steven • 3:58:04 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
You only owe me $20.
Quintin • 3:58:21 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
I know. But like you just said, May 3rd. $10 more might help
Steven • 3:59:12 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
You're a sweetheart, but I don't want to take more from you than necessary, boo. Thank you so much, though.
Quintin • 4:00:10 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
I'm going to try to relist the damned drone this afternoon. Hopefully I'll have better luck with that this time.
Quintin • 4:01:06 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
It's cool. I took an advance on my paycheck
Steven • 4:01:51 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
(sigh) I guess I'll just have to owe you a blowie in the meantime then.
Quintin • 4:06:53 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
A method to my madness
Steven • 4:07:29 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
LOL
Quintin • 4:07:47 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
MuaaaahhhhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahBaaaaaaaaaassaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahAaaaahhhhhahahahahahahahaha
Steven • 4:07:57 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Maniacal laughter doesn't translate well in voice-to-text.
Steven • 4:08:08 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
I'm not necessarily sold on that, but I'll go with it because I like your haircut.
Quintin • 4:08:34 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Sometimes, though, madness is just madness with no method to speak of. 😉
Quintin • 4:09:13 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Haha
Steven • 4:09:20 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Quintin • 4:10:18 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Tacoma$Kelly
Steven • 4:58:04 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Right?
Steven • 4:58:06 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
$QuintinTacoma. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Quintin • 5:46:56 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
😘
Quintin • 5:47:07 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Let me know when you're ready for the blowjob. 😋
Quintin • 5:47:31 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Will do, and no need to thank me. Call it parking 10 bucks with you till I need it
Steven • 6:34:14 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Oh, so now you're turning down a gold medal blowie?!
Quintin • 6:35:05 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
No. Not by any means!
Steven • 6:35:23 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
😎
Quintin • 6:35:31 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Just saying that friends help each other out when needed.
Steven • 6:35:56 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
You've helped me.
Steven • 6:36:08 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
I know, I know. I was just sweetening the deal. 😋
Quintin • 6:38:27 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Tell you what. Instead of a blowie, which was being totally undervalued at that price anyway, I'm gonna give you something perhaps even more valuable - a day or two without pestering you for anything. Just this once, though. Enjoy!
Quintin • 8:57:38 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Oh, Don't say that. That's just mean.
Steven • 8:58:21 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
No! It's actually a fabulous gift!
Quintin • 8:58:50 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Do you know how many people would pay their first born child to be unpestered by me?! LOL Don't look a meth whore in the mouth, my friend!
Quintin • 9:00:42 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Haha
Steven • 9:02:46 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
He
Steven • 9:03:09 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Larry
Steven • 9:03:13 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Us
Steven • 9:03:15 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Hilarious
Steven • 9:03:26 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Get it?
Steven • 9:03:29 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
No.
Quintin • 9:03:51 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Ok, yes. But infrequently.
Quintin • 9:04:19 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
"No" you don't? Or "No" like "Bad Steven"?
Steven • 9:04:21 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Both?
Quintin • 9:04:56 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Haha, I didn't get it, haha
Steven • 9:05:36 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Shweeeew
Steven • 9:05:47 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Sound of something going over my head
Steven • 9:05:55 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Mmmm. Head.
Quintin • 9:06:36 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
If you have access to a color printer with ink, I may have you print out a certificate for me for reaching the end of both my first week back at work and my third week without ejaculation on the same day. Call the Guinness folks! I think I may have beaten a record!
Quintin • 9:09:26 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
But that's something we can discuss after your reward period is finished. 🤐🧡
Quintin • 9:10:38 PM, Wed Apr 17, 2019
Steven • 11:17:41 PM, Sun Apr 21, 2019
Steven • 11:17:42 PM, Sun Apr 21, 2019
Steven • 11:17:44 PM, Sun Apr 21, 2019
You up?
Steven • 12:12:19 AM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Passing through Tacoma in a min. If you wanna we can hang for a few.
Steven • 12:12:41 AM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Sorry I missed your messages. I was asleep. Goin' through withdrawal.
Quintin • 7:10:04 AM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
How was your five-day break?
Quintin • 7:12:15 AM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
I realized just how much I text you when every time something occurred to me that I wanted to share with you or ask you about, I had to remind myself that I had awarded you those days off. It was a lot. I'll try to work on that. Hahahaha
Quintin • 9:36:20 AM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Haha
Steven • 10:55:55 AM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Hey, if you need that sooner, you can send it to me by email, and I can print it and sign as a witness here at work and have it ready by lunch time.
Quintin • 10:58:29 AM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Or to my home email. Quintin.Kelly@corpusforclosure.com
Quintin • 11:00:59 AM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
I'm heading there at 11:30 to spend my lunch break at home, so I can print there too.
Quintin • 11:01:51 AM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
I just forwarded you the email with the attachment
Steven • 11:06:37 AM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Got it. Printing now.
Quintin • 11:06:53 AM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Thank you, buddy
Steven • 11:06:57 AM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Do you already have a second witness lined up?
Quintin • 11:07:42 AM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Nope
Steven • 11:07:57 AM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Should I come over for your lunch?
Steven • 11:12:29 AM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
If you want to, sure.
Quintin • 11:18:27 AM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Ok. Lemme get dressed and I'll head over.
Steven • 11:18:48 AM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
What time do you go back?
Steven • 11:19:11 AM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Sounds good, pal.
Quintin • 11:19:17 AM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
12:45ish
Quintin • 11:19:34 AM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Cool
Steven • 11:19:50 AM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
I was early this morning, so I have a little wiggle room.
Quintin • 11:19:58 AM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Old Chum.
Quintin • 11:20:10 AM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
I am not expired shark food
Steven • 11:20:36 AM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Quintin • 11:22:40 AM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Agreed.
Quintin • 11:22:53 AM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Back door
Steven • 12:01:35 PM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
You know what's super helpful and not frustrating at all? Getting money sent to you by friends to tide you over until payday on May 3, but it taking until April fucking 30th to deposit in your fucking god-damn bank account!
Quintin • 5:20:18 PM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Quintin • 5:20:20 PM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Like, awesome! 🤨
Quintin • 5:20:55 PM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Yeah, that is incredibly not frustrating at all
Steven • 5:22:03 PM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Maintaining my chill is becoming a challenge.
Quintin • 5:22:45 PM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
It does say arriving BY. Maybe it'll be before that
Steven • 5:23:34 PM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
On that subject, sorry if I was rude earlier. There's nothing worse than an already emotional person having a complete emotional earthquake.
Quintin • 5:23:47 PM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Lordt'...
Steven • 5:24:24 PM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
You are fine. No worries. You weren't rude at all, and even if you had been. No cigs and what not
Steven • 5:25:00 PM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
I'm feeling a million kinds of hurt, angry, sad, manic, anxious, etc, and trying to keep it all under wraps so I may have overcompensated.
Quintin • 5:25:11 PM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Understandable.
Steven • 5:25:39 PM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
I'm familiar with the feeling.
Steven • 5:25:57 PM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Quintin • 5:26:53 PM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
I just ate a whole tube of Ritz crackers after a peanut butter sandwich and a fruit roll up and a Pepsi and half a bag of chips
Steven • 5:27:18 PM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
🤤
Quintin • 5:27:58 PM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Steven • 5:28:20 PM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Steven • 5:28:32 PM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Steven • 5:28:35 PM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Thanks. All better now. Better living by Bitmoji.
Quintin • 5:29:12 PM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
I think that's their sales pitch actually
Steven • 5:31:03 PM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Well, gosh darn it, it's working. I'm thrilled to find out all it takes to lift someone out of depression is to tell them to cheer up using a cartoon character via text message. The American Psychiatric Association has some explaining to do as to why they didn't just try that first.
Quintin • 5:35:37 PM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Haha.
Steven • 5:40:34 PM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Did you say something earlier about possibly getting a bag tonight, or was that a hallucination?
Quintin • 8:33:55 PM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
Hallucination it is. I'll just go to bed and try to sleep through this. G'night.
Quintin • 9:39:50 PM, Mon Apr 22, 2019
I did say something like that, but dude cancelled on me last night so. That didn't happen. Suck!!
Steven • 11:34:56 AM, Tue Apr 23, 2019
It's probably for the best. I shouldn't have put much stock in it or bugged you about it anyway. I was just caving in to the withdrawal and being a desperate whore for a minute.
Quintin • 12:21:03 PM, Tue Apr 23, 2019
I'm trying to sell this fucking drone to one of the bartenders downstairs, and if he buys it I'll just get a bag of my own.
Quintin • 12:22:16 PM, Tue Apr 23, 2019
Don't worry about it I'm not upset that guy totally blew me off
Steven • 12:22:50 PM, Tue Apr 23, 2019
If you happen to be in the area and maybe thinking of going grocery shopping, I'd be willing to accompany you so you don't get lonely. That's just the kind of friend I am. I care like that. 😉
Quintin • 5:20:08 PM, Tue Apr 23, 2019
That's good
Steven • 7:26:12 PM, Tue Apr 23, 2019
Oooo.......kay?
Quintin • 7:28:15 PM, Tue Apr 23, 2019
Sorry went to the wrong person
Steven • 7:34:34 PM, Tue Apr 23, 2019
Yes I can take you to the grocery store
Steven • 7:34:46 PM, Tue Apr 23, 2019
I figured that's what happened.
Quintin • 7:35:04 PM, Tue Apr 23, 2019
No, I was only offering to go if YOU needed to go.
Quintin • 7:35:30 PM, Tue Apr 23, 2019
Oh ok
Steven • 7:35:45 PM, Tue Apr 23, 2019
I'm not asking for myself.
Quintin • 7:35:48 PM, Tue Apr 23, 2019
Oh
Steven • 7:36:04 PM, Tue Apr 23, 2019
I didn't want you to feel lonesome or anything.
Quintin • 7:36:55 PM, Tue Apr 23, 2019
Loathsome is probably closer to the feeling. Self loathing
Steven • 7:42:08 PM, Tue Apr 23, 2019
I know a thing or two about that.
Quintin • 7:42:36 PM, Tue Apr 23, 2019
Finally selling the drone at lunch today. Probably going up to see Antoine after work in Seattle.
Quintin • 9:56:16 AM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Cool. I'm due in Tacoma at 6
Steven • 1:29:31 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
I'll probably be en route to him at that time.
Quintin • 1:30:01 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Too bad you can't cash app it to him and I could bring it down. Save you Transit time
Steven • 1:30:40 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Let me see if I can.
Quintin • 1:30:55 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Ugh. No. I bought lunch, so I only have $99 in CashApp. The rest is cash.
Quintin • 1:31:59 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Oy
Steven • 1:32:18 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
It's fine
Quintin • 1:32:29 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Hey, if you can spot me $11 in cash, I can send him the rest and you can pick it up.
Quintin • 2:09:55 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Then I can pay you back when you get here
Quintin • 2:10:52 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Saves me 3 hours commuting.
Quintin • 2:11:23 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
I'm waiting on some money myself. But yes when I get, which should be soon, I will.
Steven • 2:11:30 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
You rock! He's signing up for CashApp now. Once I send it, I'll let you know. He's at #### Mercer Ave N.
Quintin • 2:12:45 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Cool
Steven • 2:13:09 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Done. You still have his number?
Quintin • 2:33:23 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Yah
Steven • 2:33:47 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Perfect!
Quintin • 2:35:42 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Thanks again. I owe you.
Quintin • 2:35:54 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Looks like you'll be getting another few days off from texts!
Quintin • 2:36:43 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Haha
Steven • 2:36:44 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Steven • 2:36:45 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Steven • 2:37:11 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Steven • 2:37:23 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Though that form of repayment does kind of feel like I'm weaponizing my chats.
Quintin • 2:37:40 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Don't feel punished when I talk to you, okay? Hahahaha
Quintin • 2:38:02 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Around what time do you think you'll be at Antoine's? He's asking so he can be available.
Quintin • 2:43:48 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Round 5. Give or take
Steven • 2:46:34 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
K
Quintin • 2:46:38 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Thanks
Quintin • 2:46:40 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Current play-by-play, leaving work heading to Antoine's, picked up another two for five cuz I know that your thing broke and mine's getting crappy so I got us each one see you I would say shortly but probably in about an hour and a half
Steven • 4:38:47 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Okay. Thank you again!
Quintin • 4:40:58 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Meet me in the alley in like 5 minutes
Steven • 6:24:50 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
?
Steven • 6:24:58 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Antoine is asking for a time window for our arrival. Sorry to bother you during dinner.
Quintin • 7:58:13 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
I'm actually leaving right now I'll give you a ETA in a moment
Steven • 8:02:22 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Ok
Quintin • 8:02:31 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
I'm out front
Quintin • 8:26:24 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
I brought you cookies
Quintin • 8:26:41 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
99's?
Quintin • 10:15:26 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Yah
Steven • 10:15:47 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
206-####### Jose
Steven • 11:31:00 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Thanks
Quintin • 11:31:23 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Of course
Steven • 11:31:40 PM, Wed Apr 24, 2019
Ooh, I got a scathing text from Antoine last night around 1:30. He won't even respond to my messages now.
Quintin • 6:51:27 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Oh?
Steven • 7:01:04 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
So does that mean you're going to have to go to a dealer that doesn't rip you off?
Steven • 7:01:12 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Antoine's a putz
Steven • 7:01:26 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
It suppose it does.
Quintin • 7:01:42 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Still, it's a shame to lose a two-year friendship over something so stupid.
Quintin • 7:02:26 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
I am sorry though if I had anything to do with his angry words. on the flip side you get better deals from his ex-husband and better dope. And I also know a couple other people so you're okay you'll be taken care of.
Steven • 7:02:35 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Yeah but how good of a friend was he really I mean he was overcharging he was knowingly ripping you off doesn't seem like much of a friend to me not talking shit I mean if you guys were friends it sucks to lose a friendship
Steven • 7:03:37 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Thanks. I wasn't trying to throw shade. I'm not mad about it.
Quintin • 7:03:50 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Well that's good, there's a part of me that feels guilty either way
Steven • 7:04:22 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
And then there's an opposite part of me that feels like I did something good for my friend
Steven • 7:04:32 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
You did. Thank you.
Quintin • 7:05:05 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Cuz even if you paid 90 or 100 that's a $10 to $20 savings every time that azz up
Steven • 7:05:14 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Ha. Azz up. Your phone is a whore.
Quintin • 7:05:51 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Steven • 7:06:17 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Steven • 7:06:21 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
So is it my imagination, or does this shit make me extra horny? I had wood half the day at work.
Quintin • 7:07:50 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Without a chewable
Quintin • 7:07:59 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Hadn't really thought about it but yeah a bit I think so
Steven • 7:08:28 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Antoine came across a batch a while back that did the same thing, and this reminds me of that.
Quintin • 7:09:18 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
That's cool
Steven • 7:09:40 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Um, not really.
Quintin • 7:09:57 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Anywho, not your problem. Hahaha I'll talk to you later, man. Take care.
Quintin • 7:15:04 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Oh. I will
Steven • 7:19:53 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Care shall be taken
Steven • 7:20:04 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
👌
Quintin • 7:20:53 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Quintin • 7:22:19 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Quintin • 7:22:54 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Is one of these guys the Jose I bought from?
Quintin • 8:45:36 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Quintin • 8:45:41 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Nope
Steven • 8:46:14 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Ok, thanks
Quintin • 8:46:23 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Last question for you, I promise, then I'll leave you alone...
Quintin • 9:09:02 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Is this greedy whore one of yours?
Quintin • 9:09:51 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019

Quintin • 9:12:19 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
I don't follow
Steven • 9:12:27 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Never mind. I can't get the pics to go thru
Quintin • 9:12:56 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
But there's a 49-yo bottom pig taking up FIFTEEN of the local tops in one afternoon, with SEVENTEEN MORE invited to go fuck him.
Quintin • 9:16:27 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
And I kinda want him to just go away
Quintin • 9:16:46 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019

Quintin • 9:17:00 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
K. I'll talk to you next week sometime. Have a great weekend. Good luck apartment hunting up there.
Quintin • 9:18:34 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
No, that is not "one of my little whores".
Steven • 9:53:45 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
I'm at Fred Meyer in Tacoma somewhere. Not precisely sure where
Steven • 9:54:27 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
It doesn't sound as funny when you say it back at me.
Quintin • 9:54:43 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
That's cool.
Quintin • 9:55:09 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
He. Hu hu hu
Steven • 9:55:14 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
I got a letter in the mail from the EBT office telling me there's too much unused money in my food stamps account, and warning me to use it. I gotta spend $595.00
Quintin • 9:59:53 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
I am only a couple miles away you want to go shopping
Steven • 10:00:51 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
It's late. Don't you have to work early tomorrow?
Quintin • 10:01:27 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Not till four tomorrow
Steven • 10:01:59 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Lucky
Quintin • 10:02:16 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
But I work until about 1 a.m.
Steven • 10:02:34 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Um, no I think I'm going to hold off and go this weekend.
Quintin • 10:02:52 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
I'm too high right now to be in a store
Quintin • 10:03:09 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Okay
Steven • 10:03:19 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Thanks for offering though
Quintin • 10:03:20 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
If you have a list of stuff you need, I can get it for you at Thriftway, I'm sure
Quintin • 10:04:10 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
OMFG! Do you see this? Why is my giving button fucking stuck on constant give???
Quintin • 10:05:13 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
But if you want to come smoke since you're nearby, you're welcome
Quintin • 10:06:39 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019

Quintin • 10:18:29 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Had to get dressed
Quintin • 10:18:36 PM, Thu Apr 25, 2019
Did you make it to see the apartment? What's the scoop?
Quintin • 7:51:37 PM, Fri Apr 26, 2019
No. And I think I'm going to wait till next check to get a place. Let my bank account build up some
Steven • 8:26:31 PM, Fri Apr 26, 2019
Good plan.
Quintin • 8:27:27 PM, Fri Apr 26, 2019
But I'm being greedy, because that means I get to keep you coming by now and then for a while longer. Yay!
Quintin • 8:39:02 PM, Fri Apr 26, 2019
Were you still interested in going to the grocery store today?
Quintin • 10:16:32 AM, Sat Apr 27, 2019
Yah yeah I'm just heading back from Seattle right now. I
Steven • 10:17:47 AM, Sat Apr 27, 2019
Quintin • 10:19:36 AM, Sat Apr 27, 2019
Ok. Paint me a picture of what today's schedule looks like.
Quintin • 11:45:32 AM, Sat Apr 27, 2019
I'll be heading over in a few. Be there bout 45
Steven • 11:45:37 AM, Sat Apr 27, 2019
Steven • 11:46:15 AM, Sat Apr 27, 2019
👍
Quintin • 11:46:21 AM, Sat Apr 27, 2019
I come swoop you up. We shop. Go back to your place for a few. I run to Puyallup drop off what you get me, then I go to work.
Steven • 11:47:18 AM, Sat Apr 27, 2019
Steven • 11:47:41 AM, Sat Apr 27, 2019
Steven • 11:47:47 AM, Sat Apr 27, 2019
You are!
Quintin • 11:47:49 AM, Sat Apr 27, 2019
Steven • 11:47:49 AM, Sat Apr 27, 2019
Steven • 11:47:51 AM, Sat Apr 27, 2019
Steven • 11:47:55 AM, Sat Apr 27, 2019
Poor baby boy
Quintin • 11:48:15 AM, Sat Apr 27, 2019
Adulting is hard.
Quintin • 11:48:27 AM, Sat Apr 27, 2019
XXX adulting is damn harder
Quintin • 11:48:50 AM, Sat Apr 27, 2019
I'm here I'm out front
Steven • 12:30:32 PM, Sat Apr 27, 2019
On my way
Quintin • 12:30:43 PM, Sat Apr 27, 2019
It's a no go on Club Z tonight. Donald is leaving Seattle to come home now, so there's no point in going up this weekend. So, yeah, hit me up after work and see what's what if you want. I'll be around.
Quintin • 2:48:00 PM, Sat Apr 27, 2019
Heading here still?
Quintin • 1:14:23 AM, Sun Apr 28, 2019
Still at work
Steven • 1:31:11 AM, Sun Apr 28, 2019
Yuck. Stop that.
Quintin • 1:31:31 AM, Sun Apr 28, 2019
What are you doing?
Steven • 8:54:54 PM, Mon Apr 29, 2019
Laundry
Quintin • 8:55:13 PM, Mon Apr 29, 2019
I just got back from doing the same
Steven • 8:55:42 PM, Mon Apr 29, 2019
I have to at least get a week's worth of work clothes done. I'm out
Quintin • 8:56:17 PM, Mon Apr 29, 2019
It doesn't help that all 37 units fight for the use of two machines.
Quintin • 8:57:18 PM, Mon Apr 29, 2019
Right. I went to the laundromat
Steven • 8:57:52 PM, Mon Apr 29, 2019
Wanna hang out for a bit?
Steven • 8:58:06 PM, Mon Apr 29, 2019
Sure.
Quintin • 8:58:41 PM, Mon Apr 29, 2019
Cool. I'll be over in a bit
Steven • 8:59:16 PM, Mon Apr 29, 2019
Last time I had access to a rental car and went to the laundromat was the day I got home from Yakima.
Quintin • 9:00:22 PM, Mon Apr 29, 2019
Parking right now. Meet you at your back door in a few
Steven • 10:03:21 PM, Mon Apr 29, 2019
Ok
Quintin • 10:03:32 PM, Mon Apr 29, 2019
I'm bringing out trash.
Quintin • 10:04:08 PM, Mon Apr 29, 2019
On this occasion, while attempting to lure me to the bathhouse, he fetishized my fat and made me feel so very unattractive. Hello, Hate Monster.
So, hehehe, how about for the foreseeable future we steer clear of stories that rely on my size/weight as a topic, even if in your mind it sounds like a compliment? I ask because when it comes out as anything remotely insulting or critical to my hypersensitive ear, it sends me headlong into a spiral of negative self image and body shame that can take days if not weeks to crawl back out of. And so you don't feel like I'm just wagging my finger at you and telling you to change, I'll commit to either getting myself down in weight to a point I feel more comfortable with, or at least less swinelike at, or I'll try harder to work through the emotional and mental side of it that gets me so bent out of shape over the mere mention of my fat, old, thickum gut. I'm really sorry if you feel like you have so many emotional landmines to tiptoe around when you talk or hang out with me. The last thing I want to do is to be someone too sensitive and too fragile to be around because you have to constantly censor yourself. I'm trying hard to work that shit out, please believe me. But I'm not there yet. My protective she'll is still pretty soft, and right now it's quaking from tonight's impact with the image of being a bathhouse favorite of some chubby chaser only interested in fucking fat boys.
Quintin • 11:59:00 PM, Mon Apr 29, 2019
WHICH I totally know was never your intention. I know you wouldn't ever intentionally hurt me. I do.
Quintin • 12:02:41 AM, Tue Apr 30, 2019
Okay and I am sorry I really yeah I understand and I'm sorry
Steven • 12:08:21 AM, Tue Apr 30, 2019
No need to apologize. I will bounce back. Because...you know...fat? It bounces?
Quintin • 12:09:17 AM, Tue Apr 30, 2019
Can't do that. Can't triple stamp a double stamp
Steven • 12:10:29 AM, Tue Apr 30, 2019
Trying to lighten the mood. It felt way too heavy.
Quintin • 12:11:07 AM, Tue Apr 30, 2019
How was the non-costume costume pre-party? Are you good and warmed up for the actual non-costume costume party tonight?
Quintin • 2:36:35 PM, Tue Apr 30, 2019
It was weird
Steven • 2:37:11 PM, Tue Apr 30, 2019
Uh oh. That doesn't sound fun.
Quintin • 2:37:36 PM, Tue Apr 30, 2019
Then again, the whole concept was a bit confusing to me, so I'm probably not the best person to cast judgement of what you kids call fun these days. 😉
Quintin • 2:40:02 PM, Tue Apr 30, 2019
I mean it was a little bit of fun but more it was just weird kind of awkward at times I do not think I'm going to go tonight. however I have decided that I can pull off a harness so I think I will be getting one, I'll bring you yours back tonight
Steven • 2:40:08 PM, Tue Apr 30, 2019
Yeah I don't know
Steven • 2:40:29 PM, Tue Apr 30, 2019
Oh, good! I'm glad I could help usher you into the harness ownership club!
Quintin • 2:41:03 PM, Tue Apr 30, 2019
I thought you looked pretty fetching in it myself.
Quintin • 2:42:02 PM, Tue Apr 30, 2019
Well thank you
Steven • 2:50:03 PM, Tue Apr 30, 2019
Quintin • 2:52:47 PM, Tue Apr 30, 2019
It occurred to me that you probably have more experience at this than I do - is there any specific wording I need to use when drafting my intent to vacate notice to the landlords and instruct them to use my last month's rent deposit to pay for the month of May?
Quintin • 5:13:28 PM, Tue Apr 30, 2019
Anything I should avoid saying?
Quintin • 5:14:16 PM, Tue Apr 30, 2019
Not really, just be like, " On this the _____day of______20__, I Quintin Mar-Hard, am hereby giving my 30 day notice that the ___ day of this\next month will be my last day living at these premesis
Steven • 5:16:22 PM, Tue Apr 30, 2019
Or something to that effect
Steven • 5:16:31 PM, Tue Apr 30, 2019
Cool. Thanks.
Quintin • 5:18:39 PM, Tue Apr 30, 2019
Hey, so did you say you were going to come hang over here tonight? Any idea when? Just wanted to know what the evening will look like.
Quintin • 7:48:46 PM, Tue Apr 30, 2019
Plain Talk: Will there be cause for me to douche, and if so, by what time? #
Quintin • 7:53:55 PM, Tue Apr 30, 2019
#bottomschedule
Quintin • 7:54:17 PM, Tue Apr 30, 2019
If not, that's cool. I'd just need to pursue this eternal nut elsewhere is all.
Quintin • 8:03:38 PM, Tue Apr 30, 2019
Okey dokey. It seems you're busy, so I'm going to let you off the hook at this point and go in pursuit of an alternate to help me out with this before it starts to be getting too late. Enjoy your evening.
Quintin • 9:17:44 PM, Tue Apr 30, 2019
MAY 2019
Heating Up & Cooling Down
I passed out at like 5:30. I'm sorry. I promise I was going to come over. But seriously, I took a shower and passed the fuck out on my bed in my towel
Steven • 1:20:41 AM, Wed May 01, 2019
It's fine. I figured it was either that or you'd had second thoughts and got heavily involved in the non-costume costume party festivities after all. No sweat. I managed to find a suitable stand-in, though he still didn't end up helping me get mine, at least the evening wasn't a total loss. I have someone lined up in Portland to focus on me Friday night, so that should finally take care of itself, and my balls can go back to being a more normal size and color. Hahahaha
Quintin • 12:01:43 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Though it would be great if I could get that harness back in time to take it with me.
Quintin • 12:03:11 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Yes. I'll drop it off to you on my way home tonight. Are you going to need.... I'm probably leaving directly from work tomorrow for Yakima.
Steven • 12:04:17 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
I mean, I'm sure I will need, I have constant needs, but I won't have the money to pay for any of them until Friday when my direct deposit posts.
Quintin • 12:05:27 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Unless it's there tomorrow by some miracle.
Quintin • 12:05:44 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
So I can re-up in Portland. I'm staying with my PDX connect.
Quintin • 12:06:30 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
That's fine. You can cash app it to me then. How much should I get you?
Steven • 12:07:31 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Either way it's your call
Steven • 12:07:50 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
If you can cover it, a quarter would be ideal.
Quintin • 12:08:48 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Quality quarter, of course. QQ.
Quintin • 12:09:05 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Cool. All lined up. I'll be there this evening with your harness and a QQ4Q
Steven • 12:17:58 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Awesome. I should be home by 5:30 or 6:00.
Quintin • 1:00:53 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Well, I get off at about 5 and then I have to meet dude and then I also have to go down to Belltown and pick something up from H&M, so I'll just hit you up when I'm on my way to Tacoma
Steven • 1:03:39 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Quintin • 1:49:55 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Steven • 1:54:56 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Haha jokes
Steven • 1:54:57 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Just spent the last six hours preparing all these documents and charts for a meeting I had scheduled at 2:00 with a director in IT, then got to the meeting totally prepared and ready to win only to have him show me one slide and tell me the project he had requested was no longer needed, so he was going to cancel it.
Quintin • 2:12:48 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Hey at least you're still getting paid
Steven • 2:27:19 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Just think if you were a per the job payment kind of guy
Steven • 2:27:39 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
True. I'd just forgotten how much of this kind of waste and ineffectual BS comes with this job. I guess it just helps to whine about it a little then suck it up and move on.
Quintin • 2:40:42 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Indeed
Steven • 4:11:12 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Haha
Steven • 4:11:15 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Steven • 4:12:07 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Steven • 4:12:10 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Now that I think about it, I guess that's pretty much my only tactic for getting through life. See/experience something fucked up, bitch and moan, then continue onward to the next opportunity to bitch and moan.
Quintin • 4:15:33 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
I have that thing of yours. I had to stop at Southcenter Mall to a little bit of shopping for Rory, for his mom's funeral I'll be heading your way shortly
Steven • 6:25:29 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Ok. No hurry. Be safe.
Quintin • 6:25:52 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Heading your way
Steven • 7:55:45 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Ok
Quintin • 8:05:29 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
You ok?
Quintin • 8:51:49 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Yes I am actually just getting into Tacoma right now I think I'm like 10 minutes from your house
Steven • 8:52:18 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
According to maps I'm 6 minutes away
Steven • 8:52:42 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Oh, ok. Was worried there for a bit
Quintin • 8:55:58 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
If you went out back for a cigarette right now I pull up why you were outside
Steven • 8:56:41 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Yes sir! On it
Quintin • 8:57:00 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Make that out front
Steven • 8:58:06 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Shit
Quintin • 8:58:20 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
No parking in the back ha
Steven • 8:58:22 PM, Wed May 01, 2019

Steven • 9:45:05 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
You left your rental car print out.
Quintin • 10:56:44 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
That looks like I'll have to come back. See you in a bit. I'll text you when I'm on my way.
Steven • 10:57:22 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Yay!
Quintin • 10:57:52 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
I'm going to hold stuff hostage more often!
Quintin • 10:58:13 PM, Wed May 01, 2019
Half kidding when I say that if you fall asleep again on me like this, I'm gonna kick your ass the next time I see you. It's one thing to claim I create such a safe and nonthreatening environment that you always fall asleep HERE. It's another thing entirely if I'm now able to put your ass to sleep from fifteen miles away.
Quintin • 12:37:57 AM, Thu May 02, 2019
No. I'm not asleep.
Steven • 12:38:32 AM, Thu May 02, 2019
Got a bit sidetracked drawing.
Steven • 12:38:42 AM, Thu May 02, 2019
Ah, ok
Quintin • 12:38:54 AM, Thu May 02, 2019
Silly I know. Leaving here within 10 minutes
Steven • 12:39:05 AM, Thu May 02, 2019
Art is an important creative outlet. I ain't mad at it.
Quintin • 12:39:23 AM, Thu May 02, 2019
Ok. A little mad at it.
Quintin • 1:13:21 AM, Thu May 02, 2019
Hahahaha
Quintin • 1:13:24 AM, Thu May 02, 2019
I am in route
Steven • 1:13:41 AM, Thu May 02, 2019
So it's more like 20 minutes that I left. I had to use the restroom. Anyways yeah I'm in route to your place
Steven • 1:14:14 AM, Thu May 02, 2019
It's cool if you have other things you want to do. LOL it's just no fun waiting around while you decide. But I understand. Dumps are also important outlets.
Quintin • 1:15:26 AM, Thu May 02, 2019
I didn't think it would take me as long as it did or I would have texted. I was also trying to be very quiet cuz my cousin is sleeping and so is his wife & she is pregnant
Steven • 1:16:07 AM, Thu May 02, 2019
Out front
Steven • 1:47:30 AM, Thu May 02, 2019
It turns out that his himhawing was just his lazy attempt at forestalling the uncomforable task he had put off for too long already. This was the night he finally spat out how he felt about how close I was getting, and the talk, while eyeopening, was heartbreaking for me. He fled, taking the coward's way out, per usual. I cried the rest of the night alone, without my best friend to talk to about it.
I wish I had a copy of you right now that I could call up and talk to about the conversation we just had and in whom I could seek comfort for the bruised ego and all the whirling embarrassment that's coursing through me right now, but who hadn't been a part of that and wouldn't tell you how I reacted.
Quintin • 3:40:35 AM, Thu May 02, 2019
I put too much responsibility on you as if yours are the only shoulders in the world upon which I can rest my shit, and that's not fair. It stops today. I'm going to make more of an effort to make another good friend or two that can share some of that weight, if I can pluck one from the heap of assholes I run across in the apps.
Quintin • 3:43:10 AM, Thu May 02, 2019
Oh, and I should have foreseen tonight's ending without any hanky panky. I douched.😋
Quintin • 3:46:32 AM, Thu May 02, 2019
I would take a longer reply but I'm driving and there's a lot of cops on the road
Steven • 3:47:56 AM, Thu May 02, 2019
Drive safely. I'll talk to you when we both get back.
Quintin • 3:47:59 AM, Thu May 02, 2019
But we can totally talk about this more and I can pretend that I wasn't a part of it.
Steven • 3:48:08 AM, Thu May 02, 2019
Hahahaha
Quintin • 3:48:27 AM, Thu May 02, 2019
No.
Quintin • 3:48:30 AM, Thu May 02, 2019
It only works in fantasy land. In the real world what sucks just has to suck until it's done sucking.
Quintin • 3:49:15 AM, Thu May 02, 2019
Quintin • 3:49:49 AM, Thu May 02, 2019
It'll be fine.
Quintin • 3:50:20 AM, Thu May 02, 2019
What the what? Who the who? Why the why? huh the huh?
Steven • 2:03:50 PM, Thu May 02, 2019
How's your day going? Better than mine I hope
Steven • 2:04:04 PM, Thu May 02, 2019
Been 1 irritating day to say the least
Steven • 2:04:20 PM, Thu May 02, 2019
Same. Very same
Quintin • 2:12:14 PM, Thu May 02, 2019
Sorry to hear that.
Steven • 4:38:14 PM, Thu May 02, 2019
I hope I didn't start that for you.
Steven • 4:38:26 PM, Thu May 02, 2019
I got rerouted by maps, ended up missing the road, extra 25 minutes to go through West Seattle
Steven • 4:39:08 PM, Thu May 02, 2019
I started it myself with all my damned questions, if I'm being honest. Never ask questions you don't want to hear the answers to. But, yeah, the day has gotten progressively more frustrating with each passing hour, and I still have to go to a dinner party after work and put on a cheerful face for my friends for a few hours before I can go home and start packing for Portland.
Quintin • 4:43:19 PM, Thu May 02, 2019
I don't want to do anything. Just sit
Steven • 4:44:04 PM, Thu May 02, 2019
Sit
Steven • 4:44:09 PM, Thu May 02, 2019
Sit and maybe lay down
Steven • 4:44:22 PM, Thu May 02, 2019
That's all
Steven • 4:44:26 PM, Thu May 02, 2019
No funeral, no driving, no restaurant, no anything but sitting
Steven • 4:44:52 PM, Thu May 02, 2019
At least now I'm more tired and angry than I am embarrassed and sad. It's a decent trade.
Quintin • 4:44:52 PM, Thu May 02, 2019
I prefer angery over sad
Steven • 4:45:23 PM, Thu May 02, 2019
Yeah, I worry about you making that drive
Quintin • 4:45:28 PM, Thu May 02, 2019
And neither of those are fun emotions, but at least angry comes with a certain amount of dignity than lingering sadness. That's not a good look on me.
Quintin • 4:49:41 PM, Thu May 02, 2019
- more than
Quintin • 4:50:15 PM, Thu May 02, 2019
I'll be fine for the drive. It's the being there that makes me nervous
Steven • 4:51:11 PM, Thu May 02, 2019
Well, be safe, be patient, and be the better person. Then be on your way back.
Quintin • 4:52:29 PM, Thu May 02, 2019
I won't be able to give you the ride to the bus station. I'm sorry.
Steven • 2:14:11 PM, Fri May 03, 2019
Have fun this weekend.
Steven • 2:14:25 PM, Fri May 03, 2019
Don't put yourself in any dangerous situations that are not super fun
Steven • 2:14:40 PM, Fri May 03, 2019
Ok. No problem. I'll take a Lyft then.
Quintin • 2:15:06 PM, Fri May 03, 2019
Is it okay if I put myself in a dangerously fun situation, though?
Quintin • 2:15:40 PM, Fri May 03, 2019
Steven • 2:16:01 PM, Fri May 03, 2019
Steven • 2:16:04 PM, Fri May 03, 2019
Steven • 2:16:06 PM, Fri May 03, 2019
If I die in Portland, the cats go to you.
Quintin • 2:16:17 PM, Fri May 03, 2019
I said it's no biggie, Dum Dum.
Quintin • 2:16:51 PM, Fri May 03, 2019
Quintin • 2:17:33 PM, Fri May 03, 2019
Absolutely my cats & your cats would have fun getting to know each other. Hopefully. Or they'd all gang up against me and kill me.
Steven • 2:17:36 PM, Fri May 03, 2019
My money's on option 2.
Quintin • 2:18:13 PM, Fri May 03, 2019

Wow
Quintin • 9:30:07 AM, Sat May 04, 2019
Steven • 9:30:11 AM, Sat May 04, 2019
Bragging?
Quintin • 9:30:44 AM, Sat May 04, 2019
Steven • 9:30:57 AM, Sat May 04, 2019
Steven • 9:31:00 AM, Sat May 04, 2019

Steven • 9:31:03 AM, Sat May 04, 2019
Steven • 9:31:08 AM, Sat May 04, 2019
No, it's what you're doing!
Steven • 9:31:09 AM, Sat May 04, 2019
Steven • 9:31:12 AM, Sat May 04, 2019
Ha
Quintin • 9:31:21 AM, Sat May 04, 2019
Nope
Quintin • 9:31:24 AM, Sat May 04, 2019
The yup is to the wow
Steven • 9:31:34 AM, Sat May 04, 2019
Not bragging
Steven • 9:31:44 AM, Sat May 04, 2019
Actually been getting snubbed.
Steven • 9:31:56 AM, Sat May 04, 2019
The nope is to say, "I'm not partying."
Quintin • 9:32:15 AM, Sat May 04, 2019
Fuck em' I'm going to get tacos.
Steven • 9:32:29 AM, Sat May 04, 2019
Oh?
Steven • 9:32:37 AM, Sat May 04, 2019
It's not going great.
Quintin • 9:32:54 AM, Sat May 04, 2019
Porqué no
Steven • 9:32:59 AM, Sat May 04, 2019
I'm sorry
Steven • 9:33:20 AM, Sat May 04, 2019
Turned one-sided again.
Quintin • 9:33:26 AM, Sat May 04, 2019
NP
Quintin • 9:33:36 AM, Sat May 04, 2019
Bullshit, tie him up and take all his money and leave
Steven • 9:34:19 AM, Sat May 04, 2019
Because that's so very characteristic of me?
Quintin • 9:35:09 AM, Sat May 04, 2019
Exactly!!!! No one would believe him
Steven • 9:36:20 AM, Sat May 04, 2019
Ok. Tying now
Quintin • 9:36:44 AM, Sat May 04, 2019
Haha
Steven • 9:37:25 AM, Sat May 04, 2019
So, where did you end up choosing to go in your fancy rental car?
Quintin • 3:44:19 PM, Sun May 05, 2019
Didn't get it
Steven • 3:48:50 PM, Sun May 05, 2019
I'm about to start work
Steven • 3:48:58 PM, Sun May 05, 2019
Ok. Sorry your trip fell through. Have a good night.
Quintin • 3:50:42 PM, Sun May 05, 2019
Hey, are you at home?
Steven • 7:15:16 PM, Mon May 06, 2019
If so is it cool if I come over?
Steven • 7:15:20 PM, Mon May 06, 2019
I'm downstairs at the bar, and my place is a disaster after getting home yesterday and letting my suitcase explode.
Quintin • 7:16:10 PM, Mon May 06, 2019
But, yeah, if you need to, I can go up.
Quintin • 7:16:34 PM, Mon May 06, 2019
You don't need to worry about it. Enjoy your time. I'll catch up with you later.
Steven • 7:17:06 PM, Mon May 06, 2019
I just closed my tab. Hahaha
Quintin • 7:17:26 PM, Mon May 06, 2019
Ok. Since you went out of your way, I'll come over. :)
Steven • 7:17:53 PM, Mon May 06, 2019
Hahaha
Steven • 7:17:57 PM, Mon May 06, 2019
I was informed today that I have to move sooner rather than later. As in as soon as possible
Steven • 7:18:07 PM, Mon May 06, 2019
Oh, SHIT
Quintin • 7:18:27 PM, Mon May 06, 2019
Ok. I'm walking around back.
Quintin • 7:18:39 PM, Mon May 06, 2019
I'm about like 25 minutes away still
Steven • 7:19:43 PM, Mon May 06, 2019
Oh. Well. I guess I'll... Go tidy up the tiny shitshow I live in! Hahahaha
Quintin • 7:20:36 PM, Mon May 06, 2019
And I may have a possible short-term solution in mind that could benefit us both.
Quintin • 7:21:55 PM, Mon May 06, 2019
Parking
Steven • 7:50:53 PM, Mon May 06, 2019
Back
Steven • 7:51:15 PM, Mon May 06, 2019
K
Quintin • 7:51:20 PM, Mon May 06, 2019
Maybe shit's about to turn around.
Quintin • 1:11:55 AM, Tue May 07, 2019
Quintin • 1:12:09 AM, Tue May 07, 2019
(though I'm sorely tempted to point out how I was even refused by multiple hookers this weekend, so even money has been removed from my "helps get shit done" column.)
Quintin • 1:14:25 AM, Tue May 07, 2019
I left a load of laundry at that damned place!
Quintin • 7:49:51 AM, Tue May 07, 2019
All of my dark jeans that I can wear to work.
Quintin • 7:50:13 AM, Tue May 07, 2019
I knew something was missing
Quintin • 7:50:23 AM, Tue May 07, 2019
Fuck Fuck Fuck this whole god-damned month so far! I guess I'll try to Uber down there at lunch and hope they're still there.
Quintin • 7:56:10 AM, Tue May 07, 2019
Shit I'm sorry man
Steven • 7:57:06 AM, Tue May 07, 2019
Call the place
Steven • 7:57:33 AM, Tue May 07, 2019
Voicemail. And the mailbox is full.
Quintin • 8:09:13 AM, Tue May 07, 2019
Send me the address and I will stop by there in a little bit
Steven • 8:09:55 AM, Tue May 07, 2019
I'll figure something out. Cross any available fingers, please.
Quintin • 8:09:58 AM, Tue May 07, 2019
Cool. I will go there shortly.
Steven • 8:11:44 AM, Tue May 07, 2019
Thank you! I mean it. THANK you!
Quintin • 8:12:15 AM, Tue May 07, 2019
I can't afford to replace all of that right now. So stupid of me not to triple check, especially after the same thing (including the same black hoodie) happened not long ago. #idiot
Quintin • 8:13:28 AM, Tue May 07, 2019
I have your pants.
Steven • 8:43:00 AM, Tue May 07, 2019
🥰
Quintin • 9:57:03 AM, Tue May 07, 2019
Quintin • 9:57:29 AM, Tue May 07, 2019
Quintin • 9:58:17 AM, Tue May 07, 2019
I can't thank you enough. But I can buy you a drink or ten.
Quintin • 10:00:43 AM, Tue May 07, 2019
(no bourbon)
Quintin • 10:01:04 AM, Tue May 07, 2019
How was your tour of the loop? Was it everything you hoped it would be? Or at least calming and relaxing?
Quintin • 2:43:08 PM, Tue May 07, 2019
Never made it.
Steven • 2:43:45 PM, Tue May 07, 2019
Oh, damn. Well, it's waited this long for you to come back and ride it. It can wait a little while longer.
Quintin • 2:44:36 PM, Tue May 07, 2019
So, there's absolutely no rush. I'm not going to impose on your day off activities. I'm glad to know they're safe and not stolen. Just thought I'd touch base with you to see what your plans were time wise for the handoff of my pantalones.
Quintin • 5:40:02 PM, Tue May 07, 2019
Ok, but just tell me if I'm not supposed to be a little worried, because I definitely don't want to do that for no reason. You alright?
Quintin • 8:03:29 PM, Tue May 07, 2019
Right. No sense in worrying. You probably got somewhere and fell asleep for the whole day. That's better than being in a horrible wreck or being in some kind of trouble. I'm going with coma, but in a bed that's not in a hospital. Uggh! No! I'm still worried!
Quintin • 10:18:53 PM, Tue May 07, 2019
I'm sorry buddy. That is exactly what happened. I went up and check into the bath house at like 3 and passed out until like 3 this morning. Yeah lots of fun I had hahaha. I will come down after I get off work to bring you your pants and such. Sorry to make you worried.
Steven • 7:11:22 AM, Wed May 08, 2019
It's all good. Glad you're alive.
Quintin • 7:12:31 AM, Wed May 08, 2019
That's good. I'm glad somebody's glad I'm alive. hahaha
Steven • 7:12:58 AM, Wed May 08, 2019
🙂
Quintin • 7:36:16 AM, Wed May 08, 2019
heading to your house according to maps and then an hour and 4 minutes away so I'll see you in probably like an hour and 30 minutes hahaha
Steven • 6:32:31 PM, Wed May 08, 2019
Ok
Quintin • 6:33:48 PM, Wed May 08, 2019
Okay
Steven • 6:34:10 PM, Wed May 08, 2019
Steven • 6:34:30 PM, Wed May 08, 2019
Sorry. Did you just send that?
Quintin • 6:34:32 PM, Wed May 08, 2019
I am just leaving the office.
Quintin • 6:34:44 PM, Wed May 08, 2019
Steven • 6:34:46 PM, Wed May 08, 2019
Had the phone on mute
Quintin • 6:34:54 PM, Wed May 08, 2019
Huh?
Quintin • 6:35:07 PM, Wed May 08, 2019
Steven • 6:35:12 PM, Wed May 08, 2019
Yo no entiendo.
Quintin • 6:35:54 PM, Wed May 08, 2019
My brain hurts.
Quintin • 6:36:02 PM, Wed May 08, 2019
Steven • 6:36:04 PM, Wed May 08, 2019
Steven • 6:36:08 PM, Wed May 08, 2019

Steven • 6:38:00 PM, Wed May 08, 2019
Quintin • 6:38:34 PM, Wed May 08, 2019
Worked through lunch. Probably just need to eat.
Quintin • 6:39:37 PM, Wed May 08, 2019
Here.
Steven • 7:36:55 PM, Wed May 08, 2019
Out back?
Quintin • 7:37:15 PM, Wed May 08, 2019
Steven • 7:37:27 PM, Wed May 08, 2019
Yah. But had to park on street up alley
Steven • 7:37:41 PM, Wed May 08, 2019
On my way.
Quintin • 7:38:11 PM, Wed May 08, 2019
And now for the obligatory post-visit follow up. I'm sorry for my somber mood. I'd love to say it'll pass and I'll be back to my old self again in no time, but I don't think that's strictly true. The fact is I'm just sad and down and generally disappointed, and those things tend to linger in me until something monumentally good happens to erase them for a while. Normally, I'm able to deflect a big enough chunk of the blues by distracting myself with mindless sex, but as you are possibly more aware than you'd like to be, that just isn't happening for me lately, which only serves to feed the sadness and Self-Loathing like kerosene to a flame. And, if I'm being perfectly honest, it hurts just the tiniest bit too much when I'm around you now that a necessary line has been drawn to keep our friendship intact. Each visit is welcomed with a mixture of joy and humiliation, a combination I struggle to make sense of while I figure out how to behave as though hearing about your other sexual encounters doesn't make me insanely jealous. I'm not suggesting any kind of chillout time or mandatory separation from one another! I guess I'm just asking you not to stop visiting if it becomes too much of a downer, and to understand that I'm just sad and will only be moreso if I can't repair my role as a friend you can hang out with without fearing I'm becoming too "enamored", to use your favorite term for it. That's all. And it's a lot, I know. But it is what it is, I guess, at least until it isn't. Thanks for reading this shit. I know it drives you up a wall when I get all feely and gooshy. Have a good night, and I'll talk to you sometime this week.
Quintin • 9:36:29 PM, Wed May 08, 2019
One last thing on a more positive note: I realize that much of what I believe you took as a growing romantic fondness is actually a much more innocent, albeit intense dependency on your friendship due to the simple fact that you are quite frankly my only gay male friend within a thousand miles. I'm making an effort to relieve some of that pressure by actively building more substantial friendships with a couple of guys who seem to be receptive to the prospect, and in whom I detect the requisite traits I need to feel a closeness built on trust and similar interests. I'm hopeful, despite my moping and pouting, that in a matter of weeks I'll be able to occupy the loneliness I feel when my one friend isn't around with some new blossoming friendships that can bear a portion of my need without too much stress on any one relationship. Fingers crossed they turn out to not be hustling me for my generosity and my urge to please.
Quintin • 9:50:30 PM, Wed May 08, 2019
Are you going to be down here at all in the next day or two?
Quintin • 7:17:23 PM, Thu May 09, 2019
Night, or two?
Quintin • 7:17:33 PM, Thu May 09, 2019
Not sure. Why? What's up?
Steven • 7:19:50 PM, Thu May 09, 2019
How was your day?
Steven • 7:19:54 PM, Thu May 09, 2019
I was just going to see if there was any time to sit down and talk through a plan and /or timeline for touring, applying, and moving into a new place like we had briefly discussed.
Quintin • 7:21:27 PM, Thu May 09, 2019
Time is going to fly and the end of May will be here before I know it if I'm not careful.
Quintin • 7:22:10 PM, Thu May 09, 2019
If you have had second thoughts or aren't able to go in with me it's fine. I'm not gonna hold it against you. I would just need to know that as far in advance as possible so I can make other arrangements
Quintin • 7:23:39 PM, Thu May 09, 2019
My day was about the same. Made worse, actually, by having been up all night. But I'm not going to complain about spending six hours flip fucking and getting my turn in that god-damned rim seat for the first time.
Quintin • 7:28:11 PM, Thu May 09, 2019
. .in a coon's age.
Quintin • 7:28:56 PM, Thu May 09, 2019
Aaaand that's how my day was. Well, let me know when or if you have a chance. Talk to you later.
Quintin • 8:23:02 PM, Thu May 09, 2019
So.....?
Quintin • 6:54:30 AM, Fri May 10, 2019
It seems we have a breakdown in communication, which I can only assume is based on your being uncomfortable with the answer you want to give, but are conflicted about giving. That, or you have other priorities and have opted not to respond until those things are done. If it's a matter of your being afraid I'll be hurt or offended by your decision not to pursue the temporary arrangements we discussed, let me put your mind at ease. I won't be. I'm fact, to make it as simple and conflict free as possible, I will go ahead and proceed with my search for a new home without relying on you for help and release you from any obligation you might have felt was being placed on you by my request. I appreciate your initial willingness to help, but I think that your ties to the South Puget Sound area are diminishing quickly, and that it would be difficult for you given your need to be physically adjacent to work and to your social outlets for you to be able to be present in the capacity required for such time-sensitive assistance as I was asking you to provide. If I am mistaken in my assumption as to the nature of your failure to respond, and it is in fact a matter of priority rather than a conflict of conscience, then the same solution applies. By absolving you of obligations to me and my current need for investment, you are free to focus on whatever it is that took priority over my messages. I'd like to apologize for the indirect manner in which I burdened you with such an unfiltered dump of personal information after I saw you last time. It has always been easier for me to communicate the more uncomfortable messages I often need to share with someone through written words rather than face-to-face, but I acknowledge that it being easier for me does not necessarily make it easier for you to process and respond to those kinds of emotionally charged messages. It was unfair of me to have expected you to invest as much attention and feeling into a reply as I had put into them.
Quintin • 11:27:39 AM, Fri May 10, 2019
Not so much communication breakdown as much as I had a total breakdown. sorry
Steven • 12:09:38 PM, Fri May 10, 2019
Sorry to hear that. I hope you are doing better.
Quintin • 12:10:14 PM, Fri May 10, 2019
Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
Quintin • 12:10:38 PM, Fri May 10, 2019
I'm not, and I will if there is
Steven • 12:11:26 PM, Fri May 10, 2019
I wish I could help. Sorry if my messages added to your stress. I'll be more mindful of the weight of my messages going forward.
Quintin • 12:13:01 PM, Fri May 10, 2019
You're fine
Steven • 12:13:50 PM, Fri May 10, 2019
No worries. I'll be fine too. Just stressed
Steven • 12:14:15 PM, Fri May 10, 2019
One thing that might at least spark a glimmer of joy in your day: I have a gift for you here that arrived yesterday. I got it as a small thank you for all the patience and support you've given me in recent months. It'll be here for you whenever you happen to be in the area. Just give me a heads up so I can be sure to be home or whatever.
Quintin • 12:15:53 PM, Fri May 10, 2019
Thank you, but you don't need to be getting me things. I'm happy to be patient and all, that is what friends do.
Steven • 12:18:01 PM, Fri May 10, 2019
It's how I roll. You're going to just have to come to terms with the fact that I am a giver, a pleaser, and an irreparable, chaotic mess of emotions that can sometimes make being my friend feel more like a job. Gift giving makes me feel better about all the work you put into it, without making the friendship feel transactional. (Don't worry. You're not one of my friend hookers. They only take cash.)
Quintin • 12:22:54 PM, Fri May 10, 2019
Haha
Steven • 5:37:52 PM, Fri May 10, 2019
Cool if I come by for a while?
Steven • 8:44:26 AM, Sat May 11, 2019
Hey. Sorry, was asleep
Quintin • 10:32:06 AM, Sat May 11, 2019
I'm up now if you still want to.
Quintin • 10:32:24 AM, Sat May 11, 2019
Supposed to go look at an apartment sometime if you want to go with.
Quintin • 10:34:36 AM, Sat May 11, 2019
Yeah I'm going to Deanna's down in Parkland first. I'll be there for a little bit. I'll hit you up when I'm heading back North. I have to work at 4:00 again today
Steven • 10:40:39 AM, Sat May 11, 2019
Ok
Quintin • 10:41:06 AM, Sat May 11, 2019
So, would you say like an hour or more before you come here? Trying to gauge whether I should walk up there to see the apartment before or after.
Quintin • 10:42:55 AM, Sat May 11, 2019
Stupid weekend adulting. Making me use the daylight responsibly and shit.
Quintin • 10:43:58 AM, Sat May 11, 2019
You may want to just go before. I just got to Deanna's.
Steven • 11:05:53 AM, Sat May 11, 2019
Ok. Thanks.
Quintin • 11:06:12 AM, Sat May 11, 2019
No worries buddy. Sorry. I don't mean to inconvenience your life or make it any more difficult. All I seem to have a knack for is making other people's lives worse
Steven • 11:06:52 AM, Sat May 11, 2019
You didn't.
Quintin • 11:07:30 AM, Sat May 11, 2019
Stop that.
Quintin • 11:07:34 AM, Sat May 11, 2019
That's a plus
Steven • 11:07:43 AM, Sat May 11, 2019
Feeding that monster by reciting his hate speech as if it were truth only serves to give yourself permission to do exactly what he says you do. Don't feed him; starve him by providing he's wrong.
Quintin • 11:09:21 AM, Sat May 11, 2019
*proving
Quintin • 11:09:31 AM, Sat May 11, 2019
You still coming by today?
Quintin • 1:00:42 PM, Sat May 11, 2019
Yeah about half hour
Steven • 1:01:50 PM, Sat May 11, 2019
In route from my cousin's house. Would it be possible for me to take a shower there?
Steven • 1:06:21 PM, Sat May 11, 2019
Of course
Quintin • 1:06:46 PM, Sat May 11, 2019
Oh! I never even got to tell you about my actual, real, honest to goodness, hood old-fashioned date last night!
Quintin • 10:07:44 PM, Sat May 11, 2019
Hood. Ha! Well, yeah. I suppose hood fits.
Quintin • 10:08:18 PM, Sat May 11, 2019
No you didn't, do tell
Steven • 10:23:31 PM, Sat May 11, 2019
I'll catch you up next time I see you. Too much to cover via text.
Quintin • 10:24:17 PM, Sat May 11, 2019
But it went well.
Quintin • 10:24:26 PM, Sat May 11, 2019
So, just an update. Don't read it now if you're busy. It's not that important, I just wanted to keep you informed about my apartment hunt. I found the place I want. It's a 2-bedroom 1-bath with laundry in unit, 890 ft², just two blocks up toward Wright Park on Tacoma Ave. I filled out the application after I got back from touring the property yesterday. The only hiccup - it's still being built. It won't be ready until July. So, I've asked the landlords what the policy is for rescinding intent to vacate for another month or so. They forwarded my question to the property management company, and said they'll let me know. If they say no, I'm gonna have to figure something out quick so I can get my shit into storage and find somewhere for me and the cats to live on the cheap until I can move into my new place in July.
Quintin • 11:14:34 AM, Sun May 12, 2019
Fingers crossed they will resist the urge to be cunts and will just let me stay here until it's time. But there's the whole thing about them being cunts. So, we'll see. I had hoped to be out of here before my birthday on June 21, but I guess I will still be in limbo. Damn it.
Quintin • 11:16:40 AM, Sun May 12, 2019
In any case, I won't need your help paying a deposit, since I have time to save it. But I have no idea whether I'll need you in some capacity as a safety net. How comfortable is your car to sleep in?
Quintin • 11:19:16 AM, Sun May 12, 2019
Speaking of apartment hunting, did you hear back from the place you applied at yet???
Quintin • 11:49:36 AM, Sun May 12, 2019
Not yet, but if\when I get it, of course I'll help, or you can stay at my place for a bit
Steven • 12:51:53 PM, Sun May 12, 2019
I was just hoping you'd had some good news for you, silly.
Quintin • 12:52:50 PM, Sun May 12, 2019
They're going to let me stay here until the new place is finished.
Quintin • 11:42:52 AM, Mon May 13, 2019
Hi buddy
Steven • 5:23:05 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Hello
Quintin • 5:23:36 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
How's your day?
Steven • 5:24:04 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Meh. Typical Monday, but not too bad I guess. Yours?
Quintin • 5:24:40 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Haven't gotten out of bed.
Steven • 5:25:20 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Oh no! Or, er... Yay?
Quintin • 5:25:43 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Rented a room at Red Lion in Kent
Steven • 5:25:51 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Good thing
Steven • 5:26:01 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Yay!
Quintin • 5:26:05 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Agreed
Steven • 5:26:32 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Glad you didn't sleep in your car!
Quintin • 5:26:54 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
I think I'm being stood up again, though.
Steven • 5:27:07 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
😐
Steven • 5:27:13 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
That sucks. I know that feeling all too well. I'm sorry you have to experience it.☹️
Quintin • 5:28:08 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Not that big of a deal I'm just laying in bed. If the guy had shown up then I would have had to get out of bed and get dressed. Not sure which one's worse for the day.
Steven • 5:29:02 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
🤔 Valid.
Quintin • 5:29:30 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Still. Don't let your internal hate monster use it as a tool to beat you up like mine does. The guy is clearly an idiot for standing you up.
Quintin • 5:30:52 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
No that's not why they hate monsters going to get me, theres plenty of other reasons.
Steven • 5:32:34 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
I'll kick him in the ding ding next time I see him.
Quintin • 5:33:14 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
So, what are your plans for tonight? Assuming your dimwitted hookup doesn't come to his senses?
Quintin • 5:40:03 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Sleep
Steven • 5:40:34 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Good choice.
Quintin • 5:40:42 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Wanna go get a bite?
Steven • 5:40:48 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
I would, but I just checked my account and have $1.98. Gotta stick with groceries here until Thursday night.
Quintin • 5:42:03 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Still no word from that apartment??
Quintin • 5:43:49 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Nope
Steven • 5:44:04 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
I think my last landlord in Yakima is giving a bad reference
Steven • 5:44:45 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Dang. Did you call them to see if they are just running behind?
Quintin • 5:45:04 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
I am looking at motor homes and RV's
Steven • 5:45:15 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Or are you doing what I always do when someone doesn't call me back and filling in the blanks yourself?
Quintin • 5:45:42 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Maybe a lil
Steven • 5:48:13 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
It's never taken this long to hear back from a place
Steven • 5:48:33 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
I'm not going to wag my finger at you because that would be hypocritical of me. But don't be like me!
Quintin • 5:49:46 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Oh! Speaking of terrible examples, since you are bed bound and solo, I know a couple of short biographical chapters that still want for some reading. 😉
Quintin • 5:53:06 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Ok, ok. I'll quit trying to force my story down your throat. Enjoy your night off.
Quintin • 7:08:24 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
I have been reading it. But like a narcoleptic drowsy koala. I tend to fall asleep when reading anything anymore
Steven • 7:35:06 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
It's pretty boring stuff.
Quintin • 7:35:55 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
so I'm running by my cousin's to get my mail, then I'm going by Deanna's to smoke a little bit of weed, and if it's cool to come to your house after that by put me there about 10:00. Is that cool????
Steven • 7:58:07 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
I understand if you're like, "No, Steven, you stupid fucker. You can't come over, fucking asshole. God!" It would be a perfectly understandable response hahaha
Steven • 7:58:55 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Yeah, that's fine. I may doze off, but ring my phone if I don't answer a text
Quintin • 7:59:21 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
You know there isn't a chance in hell I'd say that.
Quintin • 8:00:11 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Well, 98% chance I'd never say that
Quintin • 8:00:47 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
I should confess, though, I'm all out of T, which means I'm in the early stages of withdrawal in case that affects your wanting to come over.
Quintin • 8:09:27 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
I got you buddy
Steven • 8:10:12 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Heading your way. Sorry running late.
Steven • 9:51:16 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
It's ok.
Quintin • 9:51:41 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Steven • 9:51:44 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Steven • 9:51:49 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Steven • 9:51:51 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Steven • 9:51:54 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Quintin • 9:52:37 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Quintin • 9:53:09 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Quintin • 9:53:58 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Quintin • 9:54:36 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
I'm out back if you want to come out and have a cigarette
Steven • 10:19:16 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
I do.
Quintin • 10:19:29 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Did I leave my little poochie pouch there?
Steven • 11:44:35 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
I don't see it anywhere.
Quintin • 11:45:22 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Please
Steven • 11:45:39 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Okay
Steven • 11:45:47 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
I didn't mean to say please I was using swipe text and it was sent please
Steven • 11:45:58 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Your phone is just trying to be more polite to me than you.
Quintin • 11:46:52 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
I've looked all over and under the bed, in the kitchen, and back through the hallway. I didn't find it.
Quintin • 11:47:35 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
You didn't take a dump this time, so I didn't check the bathroom.
Quintin • 11:47:57 PM, Mon May 13, 2019
Did you find it???
Quintin • 1:45:06 AM, Tue May 14, 2019
Hope you did. Catch you later.
Quintin • 2:18:08 AM, Tue May 14, 2019
If you need to after you check out, you can give me a shout and I'll bring my keys to you and let you hang out with the cats at my place while I'm at work, as long as you are around when I get off to let me in.
Quintin • 5:52:07 AM, Tue May 14, 2019
Assuming, of course, that you survived the night. I'm beginning to wonder.
Quintin • 6:01:13 AM, Tue May 14, 2019
Ok, I'm legit worried now. Can you shoot me a text if you're okay?
Quintin • 10:59:19 AM, Tue May 14, 2019
I didn't see your text
Steven • 11:04:54 AM, Tue May 14, 2019
Hit me up when you get off work
Steven • 11:05:11 AM, Tue May 14, 2019
Yup.
Quintin • 11:05:17 AM, Tue May 14, 2019
I'm ok
Steven • 11:06:02 AM, Tue May 14, 2019
Glad to know that.
Quintin • 11:07:27 AM, Tue May 14, 2019
Heading home
Quintin • 4:36:00 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
How was work
Steven • 4:40:43 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Over. Hahahaha
Quintin • 4:41:12 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Haha
Steven • 4:41:26 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
How was your day off?
Quintin • 4:45:20 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Ever hear back from horse boy?
Quintin • 4:45:45 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Alright, got tabs, and had to get emissions test done.
Steven • 4:46:39 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Nope
Steven • 4:46:54 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Productive!
Quintin • 4:46:54 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Radio silence
Steven • 4:47:08 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Ah, shit. Sorry. I'm gonna stop bringing it up now.
Quintin • 4:47:27 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
No worries
Steven • 4:47:42 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
I think it's funny. He started the whole conversation about meeting up, pick the time and all that
Steven • 4:48:28 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
The only bitch I really have is I would have rented a cheaper hotel if I'd have known it was just me
Steven • 4:48:51 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
His loss. Truly. Can't be all that bright.
Quintin • 4:49:06 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
You did grow up around horses maybe he was kicked by one
Steven • 4:49:30 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Not you, he!
Steven • 4:49:38 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
I'm using voice to text and it doesn't read my voice very well today.
Steven • 4:49:48 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Plausible. Now that you corrected it. (And between you and me, it frequently doesn't read your voice very well.)
Quintin • 4:49:53 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
I was getting ready to kick you.
Quintin • 4:50:12 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Everyone who has read my biography knows why I'm so slow. Spoiler: it wasn't a 🐎!
Quintin • 4:51:42 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Quintin • 4:52:05 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Quintin • 4:53:11 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Got plans for the evening?
Quintin • 4:54:58 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Self loathing, shit talking about myself,a family size package of double stuffed Oreos and copious amounts of pot
Steven • 4:56:42 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
You
Steven • 4:56:56 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
That doesn't sound fun at all. I think I will try to not do that.
Quintin • 4:57:25 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Not for everybody
Steven • 4:57:45 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Haha
Steven • 4:57:50 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Not even for you.
Quintin • 4:58:01 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Well, I was going to say if you had nothing better to do, you're welcome to come hang out, but I don't want to interfere with your self flagellation if that's what you prefer to do.
Quintin • 4:59:27 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Watch a movie or talk about the new guy I'm seeing, or work out our plans for our moves... Stuff like that.
Quintin • 5:00:41 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
I thought about coming down to Tacoma today, but I just put out $120 for the emissions and tabs.
Steven • 5:01:12 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Ah. I didn't realize you weren't here. Guess I thought that was the plan.
Quintin • 5:01:53 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
No biggie.
Quintin • 5:01:58 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Well, disappointed, I guess. But it'll pass.
Quintin • 5:02:46 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
I'm sorry.
Steven • 5:02:53 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
I know. You don't mean to.
Quintin • 5:03:21 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
I've been arguing with Rory all day and am not...
Steven • 5:03:43 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
I don't know
Steven • 5:03:49 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Ok. I'm gonna see who's around doing what. Have a good night, I guess. Don't beat yourself up all night. No point in that.
Quintin • 5:05:04 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Steven • 5:05:53 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Oh, did you find that pouch you lost? You never responded to my texts.
Quintin • 5:06:07 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Sorry, no not yet, I am sure it's in the car someplace
Steven • 5:07:00 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Steven • 5:07:13 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Yeah. I don't see the point in hiding my disappointment if doing so just gives permission to keep doing it. That's not fun for me.
Quintin • 5:07:16 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Sorry if it came across as harsh, though
Quintin • 5:07:35 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
I'm a fuck
Steven • 5:08:02 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Harsh realization
Steven • 5:08:16 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
No, truth
Steven • 5:08:48 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
The reason shit won't line up for me is because I'm a fuck
Steven • 5:08:55 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Only if you're content to be a fuck. I don't think you are.
Quintin • 5:09:03 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Like the worst kind of person
Steven • 5:09:10 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
I think that's a cop out.
Quintin • 5:09:15 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Maybe a little.
Steven • 5:09:30 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
But damnit, I'm throwing a pop p pity party of 1
Steven • 5:10:01 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
I didn't mean to send pop and p but hey
Steven • 5:10:33 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
It's like accepting your own bad behavior as the status quo because then you have an excuse not to try harder not to be a fuck to the people who care about you.
Quintin • 5:10:44 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Weak sauce. You're better than that.
Quintin • 5:11:16 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Oreos don't get hurt when I chew them up and make them not exist anymore.
Steven • 5:11:18 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Is that what you want me to do? If I'm adding obligation to your list, I don't want to be that.
Quintin • 5:12:14 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Don't listen to me.
Steven • 5:12:52 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Or read me? Would it be read? Since texts.... Ya know?
Steven • 5:13:20 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
But I do. Closely.
Quintin • 5:13:21 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
When you care to write, that is. Hahahaha
Quintin • 5:13:55 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
I felt pretty dismissed by you all day.
Quintin • 5:14:37 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Steven • 5:14:38 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
I'm sorry,
Steven • 5:14:58 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
I've basically been isolating
Steven • 5:15:11 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Went to Dustin's, then Deanna's then your house then back to the hotel, where I sat. Then slept. Today I did the car stuff. Then took a nap in my car by the park. Now sitting in my car downtown whilst a homeless man looks at me
Steven • 5:17:45 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Well, I get it. I do. Just wish there could be a way for you to push me aside but also give me some sign that's what you want so I don't go wasting hours wondering if you're alive or asleep or fucking, or mad, or hurt. Or a million other things that cross my mind
Quintin • 5:17:50 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Last I heard you were on your way to see Jose for a re-up, which is why I got worried when you stopped answering me.
Quintin • 5:19:14 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Yeah, I stopped by and saw Jose, then went back to the hotel.
Steven • 5:21:14 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Technical Truth - Minimizing. The Red Lion in Kent is 21.32 miles away from Capitol Hill in Seattle via I-5, which is where he had to go to meet up with Jose. "Stopped by" intentionally implies a much shorter trip that was already on the route between my place and his hotel instead of driving 21 miles past the hotel and another 21 miles back to it.
Sorry for not responding.
Steven • 5:21:24 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
It's not my business, I get it. I just don't like feeling a) like I'm not worthy of the simple respect a text message could deliver, or b) like you can't be honest with me because you think the truth is gonna break my little heart. Those things are awful.
Quintin • 5:21:29 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
I was tired when I got back.
Steven • 5:21:31 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
It's cool. I'm going to just assume that is the case from now on. I'm sure it comes off as naggy on your end anyway. I'll stop being all persistent and remind myself I have other people to nag. 😉
Quintin • 5:25:01 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
I am honest with you, if perhaps a little withholding about my goings-on. However, I catch myself "stopping short of myself speaking of the matter with you" for fear of you "feeling any certain way about it." Then immediately following these moments, I feel like an asshole.
Steven • 5:25:13 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
I think you have the wrong idea about my feelings, though. I know you told me you were drawing a line in the Sand because you were afraid I was getting too romantically attached, or something along those lines. It was humiliating, and I didn't know how to respond. But what I feel when you tell me stories about all the other people you see is not the kind of jealousy you think, Steven. Yes, it stings, but only because as my only friend for the most part, I get a little hurt hearing that these other dudes are getting to get close to my friend, and I'm never a part of that world.
Quintin • 5:31:04 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
I mean, yeah, that's not really much better than what you thought, but it's a difference that matters to me. And I know it wasn't fair of me to put that on you. I'm fixing it. I've been hanging out with other friends more, having dates here and there, spreading out all the need I have to more shoulders than just yours.
Quintin • 5:33:24 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Now if you see me looking bummed or sad, it's not because I feel too attached to you, it's because you've said one thing and done another. Or because I haven't known whether you're still freaked out over that stuff you said, or not. I have no idea what to expect from you anymore, and I don't know how to fix whatever I broke that weekend.
Quintin • 5:37:10 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Jeez. My thumbs hurt. I wish we could talk face-to-face about all this.
Quintin • 5:37:45 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
I'm gonna go have a drink and leave you alone. I'm sorry for throwing my shit on top of your Rory dung fire. Not sorry for getting it out - but that it came out so hard when it did.
Quintin • 5:39:39 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
You're good man. You didn't come across that harsh. I deserve much worse. Have a good night, buddy.
Steven • 5:40:58 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Quintin • 5:43:34 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Sorry, Steven.
Quintin • 5:43:39 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
Steven • 5:50:04 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
I'm really sorry I laid into you like that. I feel really bad.
Quintin • 7:53:47 PM, Tue May 14, 2019
No worries.
Steven • 12:25:37 AM, Wed May 15, 2019
Steven • 12:25:58 AM, Wed May 15, 2019
I didn't get the apartment
Steven • 12:26:02 AM, Wed May 15, 2019
Damn. That sucks, boo. But don't let one bad turn of luck erase your momentum. Get back up on the horse.
Quintin • 8:11:36 AM, Wed May 15, 2019
I swear! I made the mistake of topping ONE guy, and somehow now half of Grindr be like...

Quintin • 7:14:38 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
That's the last thing I need going around!
Quintin • 7:14:54 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
Bottom-verse-Quintin. Quintin-bottom-verse-goodfuck
Steven • 7:16:07 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
I mean Quintin
Steven • 7:16:21 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
Haha?
Steven • 7:16:45 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
I'm never sharing anything private with you again.
Quintin • 7:16:56 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
You have to admit it has a ring to it.
Steven • 7:17:03 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
Oh calm down, Nelly

Going to bed now. Cramps are the fucking worst. Is it Thursday night yet?
Quintin • 7:22:53 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
Quintin • 7:25:20 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
Are you out m'dear
Steven • 7:26:26 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
Does me needs to come down and relieve silence it's duty?
Steven • 7:27:24 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
Yeah. Gonna re-up tomorrow night if my check hits early enough. Last week I noticed it at 10:00
Quintin • 7:27:27 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
I don't know what that means.
Quintin • 7:28:17 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
I'm at the gym in Northgate, lemme get finished here and I'll come down there. This time I will shower there if that's cool
Steven • 7:28:25 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
Otherwise I'll shower here at the gym
Steven • 7:28:45 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
You're welcome to, of course. But don't come all the way down here just for that.
Quintin • 7:29:15 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
And to see my friend Maury
Steven • 7:30:24 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
Hahaha
Quintin • 7:30:31 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
Eahgoe is a bitch
Steven • 7:31:14 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
Haha
Steven • 7:31:24 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
Quintin • 7:31:30 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
Iago has class. He's refined. Moriarty's a whore who gives affection to anyone who'd have him.
Quintin • 7:32:05 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
Ok. I'm definitely going to be dozing off, so call me when you get close and wake me up.
Quintin • 7:33:00 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
Dinner is taking all the blood from my brain.
Quintin • 7:33:24 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
Didn't get a chance to show you my date for this weekend!
Quintin • 11:36:30 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
Quintin • 11:36:34 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
Quintin • 11:36:37 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
Quintin • 11:36:39 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
Quintin • 11:36:41 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
From Des Moines.
Quintin • 11:37:02 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
Ddddddddddamn!!!
Steven • 11:37:15 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
He's my version of "No fucking way!"
Quintin • 11:37:31 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
Like, he's GOT to be a serial killer to be hitting me up.
Quintin • 11:38:01 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
But, like, whatever. As long as I get to cum before I go, you know?
Quintin • 11:38:51 PM, Wed May 15, 2019
So I set the feelers in work. He said probably around $475 or $500. Cool?
Steven • 1:54:26 AM, Thu May 16, 2019
Yup! Sorry, my phone did an automatic system update and restarted. I didn't know it wasn't unlocked.
Quintin • 2:06:20 AM, Thu May 16, 2019
Quintin • 5:45:10 AM, Thu May 16, 2019
Ask me again why I worry when you go silent and I don't hear back from you. 😮https://komonews.com/news/local/police-respond-to-shooting-in-north-seattle-neighborhood
Quintin • 5:46:08 AM, Thu May 16, 2019
But I didn't mean to shoot the guy
Steven • 6:37:17 AM, Thu May 16, 2019
And I'm not at large. An extra medium tops
Steven • 6:37:28 AM, Thu May 16, 2019
Smartass
Quintin • 6:37:38 AM, Thu May 16, 2019
Quintin • 6:38:14 AM, Thu May 16, 2019
How's your day? Hanging in there?
Quintin • 2:02:17 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Oh my god oh my god oh my god! My FAVORITE porn star EVER is in Seattle near you right now, and it's KILLING ME!!!!
Quintin • 2:10:20 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Quintin • 2:10:44 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
I may have to leave work sick and go up there just to feel his proximity wash over my skin. And then I can die, because I will never have a more fulfilling moment in life afterward.
Quintin • 2:13:58 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
But first I have to shower, shave, cut my hair, manscape, and douche (not in that order, obviously), just in case he is truly as into fat nerds as he claims to be and decides to gift me a chance to do the dirty with him out of sympathy or boredom or some kind of head injury!
Quintin • 2:16:55 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
I really do cherish these conversations. 😋
Quintin • 4:17:08 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Smart ass
Steven • 4:24:27 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
I'm at work, and my boss has been up my ass all day
Steven • 4:24:44 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
He's hot though
Steven • 4:24:56 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
I know. I was partly kidding. Just wanted to yank your chain.
Quintin • 4:25:44 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Your boss is hot? Wait. I missed something.
Quintin • 4:26:02 PM, ThuMay 16, 2019
I know what you want to yank, dirty birdy
Steven • 4:26:21 PM, Thu May16, 2019
You know nothing, Jon Snow!
Quintin • 4:27:02 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
He is kind of good looking. Middle Eastern, has a thick accent
Steven • 4:27:11 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Ooooh, him. I thought you were talking about Frank, and was preparing a long speech about crossing lines with friends!
Quintin • 4:28:21 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Hahahahahahaaha
Quintin • 4:28:24 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
No, the owner
Steven • 4:36:49 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
You aren't going to believe what just happened.
Quintin • 5:23:17 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Quintin • 5:24:44 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
My hot date for the weekend? Just pointed out that he's a bottom.
Quintin • 5:24:48 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Ooh! Tri-date? Haha
Steven • 5:57:37 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
I'm not really that selfish.
Steven • 5:58:03 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
No, I'm gonna have to breed this hunky son-of-a-bitch now.
Quintin • 5:58:25 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Lucky son of a bitch
Steven • 5:58:54 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Oh, I didn't realize you were even pitching yourself as the third. LOL
Quintin • 5:59:00 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Haha
Steven • 6:00:02 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
See, you can't confuse me like that! Hahahaha I'm finally beginning to come to terms with this whole friends with borders situation. That's why I figured you were suggesting I shop for a random top to join my date.
Quintin • 6:02:28 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Quintin • 6:03:27 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Though I guess you did kind of make me aware of how much easier that would be with him as bait!
Quintin • 6:04:16 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
I was kidding, but yeah, he's hot. Can I call sloppy seconds?
Steven • 6:04:25 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
You can have him. Go for it.
Quintin • 6:04:49 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
There you go
Steven • 6:04:57 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
I'm not giving up my weekend sharing a guy who's already out of my league with some other dude who would likely also be out of my league. I've seen how that story ends. No thank you. So go on and get it. He's all yours.
Quintin • 6:05:55 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
I deserve some 6 or 7's full attention and appreciation for the solid 6.5 I bring to the table. Hahahaha
Quintin • 6:07:32 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Check still hasn't posted. I'm checking my account every 15 mins.
Quintin • 6:27:06 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
What's the word from your guy?
Quintin • 6:27:18 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Money hit!
Quintin • 6:42:51 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Do you want me to Cash App it to you or bring cash?
Quintin • 6:43:31 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
I'll probably be the one who gives him the ride to go get it
Steven • 7:00:05 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
yeah. go ahead and cash app that to me cuz he'll need the money up front and I will cash app it to him when I know he has talked to his guy and is going to get it
Steven • 7:00:54 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Ok. How much?
Quintin • 7:01:35 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
$475
Steven • 7:01:58 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
On its way
Quintin • 7:02:56 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Steven • 7:04:41 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Missed the fucking bus by a minute because of the eternal red light at 10th and Commerce. Next one is in 30 mins. Should be at Cap Hill Station at around 9:04 PM
Quintin • 7:26:00 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
And I didn't even get to prep for my fantasy run in with my favorite porn star. 😢
Quintin • 7:27:00 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
There's a good chance my phone will die before I get there. My battery backup was dead. I have 52% but it seems to always go fast on the bus. I'll be at Cap Hill station at 9:04 according to Google Maps, which I am turning off to save battery.
Quintin • 7:55:08 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Well when you get here I have the charger in my car. I think I even have a USBC
Steven • 7:56:06 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Cool.

You da best

Quintin • 7:57:39 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Just saw the apartment it is very small but it's chopped up very nicely so it doesn't seem as small I'm going to apply for it it'll work for $75 more a month I can have a personal parking spot directly in front of my door
Steven • 8:03:14 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Nice!
Quintin • 8:03:44 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Year lease?
Quintin • 8:04:02 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
She's showing it to another girl right now she's going to email me when she gets back to her office in about an hour but the kitchen is a step up from the living room / dining room / bedroom entertainment center. And there's a Murphy bed frame already built into the wall and there's also lots and lots of cupboard and count counter and closet space
Steven • 8:05:21 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Awesome
Quintin • 8:05:49 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Yeah I guess we'll see
Steven • 8:06:19 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Fingers crossed for you. Did she agree to do installments on the deposit?
Quintin • 8:06:24 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
The way the lady was talking to myself and to the other gal who is there it seems like she favored her already
Steven • 8:06:37 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Maybe it's like all women who live there in their fearful of a man hahaha
Steven • 8:06:49 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Shit.
Quintin • 8:06:49 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Gay it up!
Quintin • 8:07:07 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
I tried but it's been a rough day my voice is all freaking harsh and I'm looking like a dude I shaved this morning but I still have the mustache scruff going on I look like a fucking dude
Steven • 8:08:01 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
But wait Steven, you are a dude
Steven • 8:08:27 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
You are a fucking dude. Don't hate on that
Quintin • 8:08:45 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
So, if you have to take the guy to get the stuff, am I going to need to make myself scarce since space is kinda limited in your car right now?
Quintin • 8:12:49 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
At SODO waiting for the Link.
Quintin • 8:41:03 PM, Thu May 16, 2019

Quintin • 9:02:05 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
Not really actually so what do we do
Steven • 9:02:43 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
How long do you think it will take? To finish up? I can wait here for a little while, but soon I'm gonna have a dead phone and alot of anxiety
Quintin • 9:03:55 PM, Thu May 16, 2019

Quintin • 9:06:06 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
I can walk down Denny toward that side of the park if it helps.
Quintin • 9:07:15 PM, Thu May 16, 2019
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I will absolutely be seeing you after work.
Quintin • 3:13:23 PM, Fri May 17, 2019
Quintin • 3:13:40 PM, Fri May 17, 2019
Damnit, I left my coffee
Steven • 3:17:23 PM, Fri May 17, 2019
Either that or maybe tomorrow if you're busy tonight. And I can give you a ride home tomorrow 2 if you'd like
Steven • 3:17:44 PM, Fri May 17, 2019
It's the least you can do if I'm giving you my ass to use in your smells like sex campaign!
Quintin • 3:18:55 PM, Fri May 17, 2019
Haha, ooohhhm
Steven • 3:25:05 PM, Fri May 17, 2019
So, this kid is amazing, and I want you to meet him. But it would be a rare two tops, one bottom situation, which I won't lie, makes me pant and salivate just picturing it.
Quintin • 12:22:43 AM, Sat May 18, 2019
Uh oh
Steven • 12:23:04 AM, Sat May 18, 2019
I'm off right now
Steven • 12:23:35 AM, Sat May 18, 2019
He had to go. Poor guy was starving.
Quintin • 12:40:37 AM, Sat May 18, 2019
But you can come kick it if you want
Quintin • 12:41:04 AM, Sat May 18, 2019
I'm sorry your guy had to go.
Steven • 12:44:13 AM, Sat May 18, 2019
Oh, it's fine. He did a fantastic job while he was here.
Quintin • 12:44:49 AM, Sat May 18, 2019
When life hands you lemons, throw that shit away and order Dockside Donuts.
Quintin • 2:28:12 PM, Sat May 18, 2019
Quintin • 2:28:16 PM, Sat May 18, 2019
Zane. Woof! No 22-year-old should be able to fuck ass with the style and proficiency that boy has, unless he started training for a job hooking at the age of 10.
Quintin • 6:30:22 PM, Sat May 18, 2019
Quintin • 6:30:27 PM, Sat May 18, 2019
Quintin • 6:30:31 PM, Sat May 18, 2019
He is cute
Steven • 7:21:06 PM, Sat May 18, 2019
I have good taste sometimes, you know!
Quintin • 7:25:36 PM, Sat May 18, 2019
Yourself included. In case that point wasn't obvious.
Quintin • 7:28:31 PM, Sat May 18, 2019
Steven • 7:57:15 PM, Sat May 18, 2019
Shuckin's fer corn, Cotton-Picker!
Quintin • 8:05:58 PM, Sat May 18, 2019
Shut up, ya Mudd duck
Steven • 8:06:30 PM, Sat May 18, 2019
A-hyuh hyuh!
Quintin • 8:16:36 PM, Sat May 18, 2019

Steven • 12:57:40 AM, Sun May 19, 2019
That's awesome! Yay!
Quintin • 1:00:17 AM, Sun May 19, 2019
Only bitch is they want first, last and deposit, 1195.00 x3. I'm going to ask if she can do one of those over a couple months
Steven • 1:02:09 AM, Sun May 19, 2019
Ouch
Quintin • 1:04:39 AM, Sun May 19, 2019
Cool if I come over and take a shower?
Steven • 10:45:30 AM, Sun May 19, 2019
Sure
Quintin • 10:46:06 AM, Sun May 19, 2019
Awesome. Be there before too long
Steven • 10:46:26 AM, Sun May 19, 2019
K
Quintin • 10:48:39 AM, Sun May 19, 2019
I finally told Rory to fuck off.
Steven • 10:49:18 AM, Sun May 19, 2019
Oh shit!
Quintin • 11:00:32 AM, Sun May 19, 2019
I'm about to be out back
Steven • 11:09:58 AM, Sun May 19, 2019
Ok
Quintin • 11:10:07 AM, Sun May 19, 2019
And for the record, my friend, there *have* been multiple occasions when I have reached out to you and said, "I'm horny. Why don't you come over and fuck me?", the most recent example having just happened Friday night. But unlike the scenario you described just now where that friend then comes over and scratches that itch, you tend to mostly come over and observe the horniness while looking through the apps for someone else to go fuck, which I get, but like, it doesn't exactly fit in with the easy-peasy friends with benefits scenario you just painted a little while ago. Hahahaha. #RealTalk (That concludes my daily chapter of calling you on your shit. 😘)
Quintin • 1:33:13 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
Oops. So, I realize that my chicken shit approach to saying the tough stuff while you're driving means I'm not likely to get a response because you're driving and then you'll be working. But I'm definitely putting a pin in this one instead of letting it join the other one-sided conversations in that pile you put them in to evaporate. 😋
Quintin • 1:41:03 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
We also covered that I assume past behavior based on prior experience
Steven • 1:42:02 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
Yes. You're right. I can see one preventing the other now. Point taken.
Quintin • 1:42:50 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
And me thinking things were looked at different by all parties involved (I'm dumb)
Steven • 1:43:03 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
You're not dumb, dummy. I'm just difficult to interpret.
Quintin • 1:43:42 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
But if that is the reason why Friday night was the same thing, meaning a half-hearted rubbing of my chest or back while cruising for more, while I was at perhaps the highest and horniest I have ever been in my life, then that means you still think I'm enamored instead of believing my explanation re: the friendship thirst. That we will have to address when there's time.
Quintin • 1:48:46 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
In the meantime, know that I'm not mad or hurt or anything about it. I processed it and have done what I needed to do to accept it. So don't feel like there's all this weight attached to the rest of this conversation. It's cool. Just want to make sure we're talking through stuff rather than quietly assuming what the other's thinking or feeling.
Quintin • 1:56:39 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
None of those, because I was stuck on something and focused on an idea of a threesome. Then when we got back "from the awful group thing in North Seattle" to the Airbnb, it seemed awkward and I thought that if I tried then that it would be, like, looked at wrong. Let's sound it out to I'm an asshole orediggerweb jerk. No, I won't call it an asshole cuz of the distinction.
Steven • 2:23:46 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
Well, as long as going forward I can ask for some emergency dick without you thinking it means I want you to propose and being content in the moment with it being just me, AND not doing anything out of obligation or pity, it's all good. I'm not gonna hold onto to times passed that made me feel bad because those are in the past and we have both been honest about this and that since then. So we should be fine. All good.
Quintin • 2:28:14 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
Steven • 2:31:27 PM, Sun May 19, 2019

Steven • 2:31:42 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
Steven • 2:31:45 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
Are you done? You know I don't think any of those things about you. And there's no need to apologize again. You've said it, I believed you, we're past it.
Quintin • 2:51:47 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
I don't need you to self-flaggellate in order to convince me of your sincerity. Just be sincere. Hahahaha
Quintin • 2:52:43 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
I should add that when I drill down into a subject like this where there was tension or bruised feelers, it's not that I'm laying traps or fishing for apologies. That's not me, and I hope I've shown you that. All I'm doing is shopping for clarity and looking for any spots where miscommunication might be causing these things to flare up. I'm a firm believer that communication solves almost all problems, and that a lack of it creates them.
Quintin • 2:58:49 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
Agreed
Steven • 3:17:23 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
If you think that people have evolved past the fear and cruelty surrounding my HIV status, you're mistaken. People are not evolving, they are becoming emboldened in their hatefulness.
Quintin • 6:52:40 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
Quintin • 6:52:43 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
Quintin • 6:52:45 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
That's re dick ulous
Steven • 7:08:08 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
Indeed
Quintin • 7:08:38 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
I should know better by now. Hahahaha
Quintin • 7:09:17 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
You doing okay at work?
Quintin • 7:10:02 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
Steven • 8:08:03 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
Steven • 8:08:04 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
Don't have a choice

Quintin • 8:08:48 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
Quintin • 8:09:16 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
It's creepy how much your Bitmoji looks like you. Like, spot on.

So, hear me out before you say no...
Quintin • 11:40:38 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
But I got to thinking about how you are totally going to ignore my plea that you not sleep in your car, and it made me start looking for a place to put you for a week so you could be close enough to work but still in a warm, safe room with a bed.
Quintin • 11:42:19 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
And I found a couple of Airbnbs in North Seattle for about $450 for 5 days
Quintin • 11:44:17 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
I appreciate it but I really don't have the money and I don't want you to spend money not if you're going to be helping me get into an apartment as well I really do appreciate I have a place to sleep tonight don't worry it's not my car
Steven • 11:45:25 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
I'm willing to chip in if you are able to cover half. But I just wanted to make sure you are not being left with no options other than the fucking bathhouse
Quintin • 11:45:31 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
Ok
Quintin • 11:45:46 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
Alright
Quintin • 11:45:52 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
Sorry if it's pushy.
Quintin • 11:46:19 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
Not sleeping at the bathhouse either.
Steven • 11:46:27 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
No, it's not. I understand it's coming from a place of love and caring. I appreciate it very much. It means a lot, a whole lot to me.
Steven • 11:46:52 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
Ok. Glad you've got something lined up. Have a good night.
Quintin • 11:47:09 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
Thank you, you too. Thank you, really. I mean it. You're a good friend.
Steven • 11:57:45 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
Just trying to look out for a pal.
Quintin • 11:58:18 PM, Sun May 19, 2019
Sooooooo.....I went over to that dude's, nope, uh-uh, not happenen', that is nawh.
Steven • 1:13:04 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
Which one?
Quintin • 1:13:23 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
He's nice enough, but the company he keeps, can't do it
Steven • 1:13:35 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
The other night where I freaked out?
Quintin • 1:13:37 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
Oh
Quintin • 1:13:42 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
Yeah
Quintin • 1:13:44 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
The one from the other night
Steven • 1:13:48 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
Sorry you didn't get a chance to hang with him because of me. I feel bad.
Quintin • 1:14:09 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
Cool if I come over?
Steven • 1:14:09 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
Totally!
Quintin • 1:14:14 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
It'll be a few
Steven • 1:14:24 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
I'll be up.
Quintin • 1:14:33 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
But I'm making my way
Steven • 1:14:40 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
If you need to, you can stay here when I go to the office. I come home for lunch at noon
Quintin • 1:15:19 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
Oh, and full disclosure - I'll get it under control before you get here, but I did a booty bump a few minutes before you messaged me. Don't worry! I just wanted to lift my mood and stop thinking about that asshole who gave me shit for being positive.
Quintin • 1:32:32 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
So I shifted gears, but I'll shift back to something else. Hahaha
Quintin • 1:32:57 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
Want anything from Jack in the Box?
Steven • 1:54:55 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
Nope
Quintin • 2:11:28 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
I didn't miss you did I?
Quintin • 2:34:05 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
My phone put itself on do not disturb.
Quintin • 2:34:24 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
Nope. But there is a dude going through the trash.
Steven • 2:36:12 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
Where are you?
Quintin • 2:36:29 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
I'm waiting till he's done to come up. (Leftovers) nah I just don't want him to talk to me
Steven • 2:36:50 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
I'm in the alley
Steven • 2:37:11 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
Ok
Quintin • 2:37:37 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
I'm coming down
Quintin • 2:37:38 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
Ok
Steven • 2:38:14 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
I didn't want to wake you again for these instructions. Get some rest. Help yourself to anything in the apartment. I left the keys there in case you need to leave and come back. If you HAVE to leave and won't be back before noon, please call me so I can figure out where you could leave them so I can get in the building. Sorry if I woke you up a few times with my squeaky fucking chair. A boy can't even jerk one out without alerting half of New Tacoma. Sweet dreams, buddy. I'll be home for lunch between 11:30 and 12:00, and I'll call you to come let me in. 😘
Quintin • 8:03:05 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
^not meant to look as gay as it did. Just forget I typed that emoji.
Quintin • 8:03:45 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
Coming home now. You up?
Quintin • 11:46:35 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
Yes
Steven • 11:48:34 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
Wakey wakey! Hands off snakey!
Quintin • 11:48:39 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
Can you please let me in the front door?
Quintin • 11:48:59 AM, Mon May 20, 2019
On my way home
Quintin • 4:35:27 PM, Mon May 20, 2019
Knock knock
Quintin • 4:38:19 PM, Mon May 20, 2019
You there?
Quintin • 4:44:02 PM, Mon May 20, 2019
See? It's everywhere I go. If you ever wondered why I have such an embarrassing number of toys to help get myself off, here's your answer.
Quintin • 7:58:13 PM, Mon May 20, 2019
Quintin • 7:58:17 PM, Mon May 20, 2019
Yeah, you know what that is? That's somebody who's uneducated and not gay who is looking for secret hookups and doesn't want to get his wife sick and is scared to death of doing so.
Steven • 10:47:05 PM, Mon May 20, 2019
Don't focus on the negative. Focus on the guys who understand and have knowledge.
Steven • 10:47:15 PM, Mon May 20, 2019
Yes, sir.
Quintin • 10:47:54 PM, Mon May 20, 2019
Damn right, assume the role bitch

Steven • 8:56:34 AM, Tue May 21, 2019
It's all good. I ended up oversleeping and just woke up.
Quintin • 9:40:55 AM, Tue May 21, 2019
Fuck
Quintin • 9:40:58 AM, Tue May 21, 2019
Eek
Steven • 9:45:02 AM, Tue May 21, 2019

Quintin • 9:48:02 AM, Tue May 21, 2019
Glad the flic works.
Quintin • 9:48:44 AM, Tue May 21, 2019
Wanna go do laundry tonight?
Quintin • 11:22:34 AM, Tue May 21, 2019

Quintin • 11:27:30 AM, Tue May 21, 2019
Hey, Quintin. I'm driving right now, but I got your message(s) and I promise I will get back to you when it's safe to do so. Also, I'm reading your biography so I can learn about some of the foundational things that have shaped the person you are today. Smoochies, good buddy. xxxoxxxoxxxco, Steven
Quintin • 11:29:07 AM, Tue May 21, 2019
Oh, jeez. What have I done?!
Quintin • 2:50:05 PM, Tue May 21, 2019

Steven • 2:53:18 PM, Tue May 21, 2019
Yes. It comes from a San Francisco number
Quintin • 2:54:13 PM, Tue May 21, 2019
Quintin • 2:54:40 PM, Tue May 21, 2019
YES! You're driving! Hahahaha
Quintin • 2:55:14 PM, Tue May 21, 2019
I was in a meeting interviewing stakeholders, and my phone vibrated halfway off the table.
Quintin • 2:55:58 PM, Tue May 21, 2019
Quintin • 2:56:53 PM, Tue May 21, 2019
I've created a monster
Quintin • 2:57:36 PM, Tue May 21, 2019
That'll do, pig. That'll do.
Quintin • 2:58:04 PM, Tue May 21, 2019
Every time I hear it go off I just hold the button again hahaha
Steven • 2:58:21 PM, Tue May 21, 2019
No need. It told me you're safe. I'm not worried now.
Quintin • 2:59:15 PM, Tue May 21, 2019
What time you wanna go warsh our manties?
Quintin • 3:00:48 PM, Tue May 21, 2019

Quintin • 3:01:23 PM, Tue May 21, 2019

Quintin • 3:43:58 PM, Tue May 21, 2019
Sorry. I'll head home now.
Quintin • 3:44:16 PM, Tue May 21, 2019
No rush at all. Take your time at work. You didn't go in till 1, so I don't want you to get in trouble. Spend as much time at work as you need.
Steven • 3:47:11 PM, Tue May 21, 2019
Let me know when you're done at work and I will come over. No worries. Like, no worries no worries.
Steven • 3:47:22 PM, Tue May 21, 2019
I can scoot out at 4:00 without any issue. My boss and lead developer are both out today.
Quintin • 3:48:44 PM, Tue May 21, 2019
You should change that message to say that you are nearly parked and ready for me to admit you through the back door.
Quintin • 3:56:01 PM, Tue May 21, 2019
Haha
Steven • 4:12:52 PM, Tue May 21, 2019

Quintin • 7:57:34 PM, Tue May 21, 2019
Thanks. I won't worry anymore. Feel free to stop comforting me with your safe whereabouts, old pal!
Quintin • 12:04:43 AM, Wed May 22, 2019
Fine, I will
Steven • 12:06:03 AM, Wed May 22, 2019
Steven • 12:06:21 AM, Wed May 22, 2019
Ok, no. That sounds too threatening.
Quintin • 12:06:53 AM, Wed May 22, 2019
Keep telling me how you are.
Quintin • 12:07:06 AM, Wed May 22, 2019
KEEP PRESSING BELLY SO I FEEL LIKE I'M RIGHT THERE LISTENING TO YOU SING!
Quintin • 12:14:51 AM, Wed May 22, 2019
Hey, Belly! Tell Steven I have his reading 👓, and that he had better be on his best behavior if he wants them back.
Quintin • 8:55:59 AM, Wed May 22, 2019
Belly is what Steven named the Flic button I programmed for him. It's a small, silicone-coated button that connects to an app on your phone through bluetooth and can be used to enact real tasks like sending a text message to a particular contact with the press of a button or controlling your music player, tv, smart bulbs, or other smart devices by preprogramming the button via the app on your phone. This one was programmed to send me a text message assuring me that Steven was aware I had messaged him, but informing me that he was driving at the moment and unable to safely reply. I gave it to him in hopes that he would use it to let me know not to expect a response from him right away rather than letting me think for hours that he was simply ignoring me. But of course, as with any new toy, Steven immediately set himself to the task of misusing Belly and being obnoxious with it. He would blow my phone up repeatedly with some other message he had rewritten in the place of the one I'd originally programmed the button to send. He used it to control the Spotify app on my TV while he was on the road, to turn my TV on and off, and to set my Philips Hue lights to max brightness or just off. It became maddening, until he lost Belly somewhere inside his filthy PT Cruiser, then buried it (we think) in boxes of junk when he eventually moved out of his car and into an apartment in June.
Hey, you're staying up there tonight, right? Like, for the rest of the week or what?
Quintin • 1:13:29 PM, Wed May 22, 2019
??
Quintin • 3:31:37 PM, Wed May 22, 2019
I'm coming down this evening.
Steven • 3:33:17 PM, Wed May 22, 2019
Not suggesting that you can't. Just wanted to know so I can plan my evening accordingly.
Quintin • 3:33:24 PM, Wed May 22, 2019
More than likely anyways.
Steven • 3:33:32 PM, Wed May 22, 2019
Ok. Cool.
Quintin • 3:33:33 PM, Wed May 22, 2019
If you've got something possibly going on then by all means
Steven • 3:33:50 PM, Wed May 22, 2019
No no. Nothing that matters. I was just deciding how much clothed and upright time I planned to maintain - between decent for company and nekkid and prone with a bottle of lube within reach and a remote control in one hand.
Quintin • 3:38:12 PM, Wed May 22,2019
Decent for company is totally doable.
Quintin • 3:38:37 PM, Wed May 22, 2019
Haha
Steven • 4:10:34 PM, Wed May 22, 2019
Ballpark estimate on timing? Not rushing or delaying. Wondering.
Quintin • 5:58:04 PM, Wed May 22, 2019
I don't know. I'm still like technically working. I'm dropping off stuff at the store on Madison and I'm supposed to go meet up with Rick about talking about that room for rent, but I think I'm going to reschedule that for tomorrow.
Steven • 6:01:34 PM, Wed May 22, 2019
Ok. No worries. Take your time. I was just wondering.
Quintin • 6:05:57 PM, Wed May 22, 2019
Front door
Steven • 7:22:35 PM, Wed May 22, 2019
Coming
Quintin • 7:23:35 PM, Wed May 22, 2019
Text me if you need ANYTHING. I'm just right downstairs getting a buzz on.
Quintin • 11:47:01 PM, Wed May 22, 2019
Have you considered or looked at these apartments in South King County? Seem nice enough for the price. Creston Point 13445 Martin Luther King Jr Way S, Seattle, WA 98178
Quintin • 10:40:54 AM, Thu May 23, 2019
Quintin • 10:41:03 AM, Thu May 23, 2019
They want a higher credit than I have
Steven • 10:55:26 AM, Thu May 23, 2019
Damn. Ok.
Quintin • 10:57:25 AM, Thu May 23, 2019
Would you be able to get it with a cosigner? I happen to know a really nice guy who's a pushover with a 741 score. I can put in a good word for you with him.
Quintin • 10:58:36 AM, Thu May 23, 2019
I also just talked to the ones that are by the mall. I qualify for one of those, it's just not ready until the 6th or the 7th.
Steven • 12:06:04 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
Which mall?
Quintin • 12:06:42 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
Tacoma
Steven • 12:07:08 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
Well, you have a place to sleep and bathe and shit until then if you need to.
Quintin • 12:08:04 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
My dirty self and shitty tummy thank you.
Steven • 12:08:39 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
Quintin • 12:12:55 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
Shake down at the mushroom stall!
Quintin • 12:13:10 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
Oh, and hey...you gotta stop beating yourself up over having to dash from my place all the time. It doesn't make you an asshole if I know exactly what I sign up for and continue to invite the come and go pattern into my life. That puts it on me, man. So stop feeling like you owe me anything and take advantage of the hospitality I keep freely giving. I know you'd do nothing less if our situations were reversed. And if you wouldn't, well then *that* would make you an asshole. 😘
Quintin • 12:24:35 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
Quintin • 12:25:00 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
Quintin • 12:25:30 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
What's your plan for tonight? I guess we should maybe sit down and talk through the next couple of weeks so there's at least a loose kind of framework around when it makes sense for you to come back down here, and which nights you'll prefer to stay in Seattle. You know I'm pretty flexible about when you come and go, so it's really more about me having an idea of when I will be solo and when I'll have a bunk mate.
Quintin • 4:20:47 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
I'm heading south right now. I should be in Tacoma before too long. I'll hit you up.
Steven • 6:51:01 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
Ok. I'm drinking.
Quintin • 6:56:53 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
Drinking sounds good to me tonight.
Steven • 6:57:21 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
Well, g...uh, good! Because I already headstarted on you!
Quintin • 7:47:38 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
I can't find parking anywhere. I'm going to go to Deanna's. I'll come back over later.
Steven • 7:55:57 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
Been circling the neighborhood for like 30 minutes. I'm done trying.
Steven • 7:56:05 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
🥺
Quintin • 7:56:22 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
Sorry
Quintin • 7:56:30 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
No worries
Steven • 8:01:29 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
If I'd known you were here I would have come out and pushed a car aside for you to park
Quintin • 8:02:30 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
Thank you buddy. I know you would have. Actually I saw you outside smoking one of the times I went by. I was blasting music.
Steven • 8:03:02 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
I'm more than a little buzzed, so I didn't notice.
Quintin • 8:06:32 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
I'm super sorry
Quintin • 8:07:03 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
😮
Quintin • 8:07:16 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
No worries
Steven • 8:07:21 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
Should I wait for you to think about dinner, or are you taking care of that up there?
Quintin • 9:22:53 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
I'm going to eat.
Quintin • 10:29:59 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
Okay I'm on my way to your place. I'll be there shortly.
Steven • 10:51:40 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
How short? Should I head down?
Quintin • 10:52:18 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
No, I'm about 20 minutes away. I'll text you when
Steven • 10:52:59 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
I get there.
Steven • 10:53:12 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
Ok
Quintin • 10:54:16 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
yo yo yo yo yo yo yo, guess who's up in this muh phukah
Steven • 11:22:44 PM, Thu May 23, 2019
That's Ebonics for I'm here
Steven • 11:22:59 PM, Thu May 23, 2019

Quintin • 5:23:59 AM, Fri May 24, 2019
Why do my neck and back hurt so much today? Did you put the Vulcan Nerve Pinch on me before you fled?
Quintin • 3:26:05 PM, Fri May 24, 2019
What's up buddy? What are you doing?
Steven • 2:22:49 AM, Sun May 26, 2019
I guess you were busy or sleeping. I feel stupid. I went to the casino. I only lost like $25 bucks, but I was up to like $700 and I walked away losing like $25 bucks.
Steven • 6:23:58 AM, Sun May 26, 2019
Hey.
Quintin • 8:10:13 AM, Sun May 26, 2019
hey want to hang out for a few I'm going to be leaving my cousin's in a couple minutes I could come over there for probably about a half hour or so
Steven • 8:16:18 AM, Sun May 26, 2019
If you want to, sure
Quintin • 8:16:50 AM, Sun May 26, 2019
Of course I want to come see my friend, I really miss Maury
Steven • 8:17:19 AM, Sun May 26, 2019
Haha
Steven • 8:17:22 AM, Sun May 26, 2019
Fuck Iago though he's a dick
Steven • 8:17:37 AM, Sun May 26, 2019
Have a nice day at work.
Quintin • 8:17:45 AM, Sun May 26, 2019
I'm cracking jokes come on now
Steven • 8:18:03 AM, Sun May 26, 2019
Would you like me to pick you up anything on the way over?
Steven • 8:18:21 AM, Sun May 26, 2019
The number of the truck that ran over my head
Quintin • 8:18:56 AM, Sun May 26, 2019
??
Steven • 8:19:24 AM, Sun May 26, 2019
Otherwise, maybe just a pack of smokes
Quintin • 8:19:30 AM, Sun May 26, 2019
I don't follow
Steven • 8:19:30 AM, Sun May 26, 2019
Cool, I can do that
Steven • 8:19:51 AM, Sun May 26, 2019
Headache so bad only a collision could explain it
Quintin • 8:20:08 AM, Sun May 26, 2019
That's weird I've had a really bad headache for like 2 days, it finally went away today when I drink a bunch of coffee
Steven • 8:20:58 AM, Sun May 26, 2019
Brewing coffee now.
Quintin • 8:27:34 AM, Sun May 26, 2019
ETA?
Quintin • 8:27:43 AM, Sun May 26, 2019
Here. Front
Steven • 8:57:12 AM, Sun May 26, 2019
Yo. Back.
Quintin • 9:31:56 AM, Sun May 26, 2019
I really do feel bad now about not being available to answer your call last night. If I'd had any inkling that you were thinking about coming by I would have put an end point on date night on the calendar, but as it was, I figured you would be staying with one of your Seattle friends through the weekend, so I let things run longer than I might have. So, give me a little heads up tonight if you want to come over after work. Not because I will or won't go to bed if you come over, but because if I don't have anything else going on, I am likely to make plans that don't leave much room for last minute changes, like sleeping or fucking or baking.
Quintin • 9:51:27 AM, Sun May 26, 2019
And don't forget to send me the photos of your hot, hung, charitable friend, Brittin, to ponder for my birthday gangbang line up.
Quintin • 9:52:00 AM, Sun May 26, 2019
You have absolutely no reason to feel bad
Steven • 9:54:43 AM, Sun May 26, 2019
When has that ever stopped me? 😚
Quintin • 9:55:12 AM, Sun May 26, 2019
You got me on that one Kato

Steven • 1:04:29 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
This is essentially the apartment that I think I am going to actually end up in it's about the size of yours just without a wall that separates the kitchen from the rest and no oven but it's got a huge bathroom and barn doors to separate everything so that's nice
Steven • 1:05:02 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
Very nice
Quintin • 1:05:23 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
Fingers crossed!
Quintin • 1:05:38 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
Barn doors are good space savers, and they come in handy with high traffic areas.

That's one I left out of the stuff I wanted you to read
Quintin • 2:59:02 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
So, it just occurred to me that tomorrow is Memorial Day, and I don't have to work. So don't let the possibility of me wanting to sleep play a role in your decision to stay or not. I'll be up.
Quintin • 6:41:34 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
Cool
Steven • 7:57:22 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
Sorry for supper late reply.
Steven • 7:57:30 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
It's ok. How's work?
Quintin • 7:57:45 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
So today I didn't manage I'm I guess I'm technically managing but I'm clocked in as a server Abhishek starting to play the same game he plays with Frank with me
Steven • 7:57:55 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
Ah, fuck
Quintin • 7:58:11 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
he told Frank it was a mistake that he was fooling around in the payroll and all that stuff looking around and accidentally clicked it and he couldn't click it back for a few days. I appreciate that he's full of shit and that this was him flexing his muscles trying to fuck with me but little does he know that I've already put in 12 aplications and resumes since I've been here today
Steven • 7:59:46 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
I was going to suggest exactly that.
Quintin • 8:00:22 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
All the work you're putting in to moving up there for work, I thought maybe at least a bit of effort might pay off looking for work closer to the affordable housing.
Quintin • 8:01:25 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
But if you're not managing, are you getting paid right? Do you still have to close?
Quintin • 8:02:17 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
He's been doing this shit kind of shit to Frank for 10 years I mean look at the situation surrounding me getting the job
Steven • 8:04:41 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
I can make better money bartending at a bar downtown
Steven • 8:04:56 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
Amen
Quintin • 8:11:46 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
I'm sorry you're having to deal with that kind of immature bullshit.
Quintin • 8:12:12 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
I am not dealing with this. I already told Frank that I am actively looking for another job and that I don't believe the story that it was on accident or mistake
Steven • 8:39:30 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
I just thought of something. Tomorrow is the first day off we will have had together since before I started working.
Quintin • 8:59:35 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
Sorry. That came out of nowhere. Didn't mean to change the subject.
Quintin • 9:03:08 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
This is true and I'm not going to Spokane because mushrooms aren't ready yet but I am still going to go to Yakima cuz that's already set in stone. or I might talk to him and to still come down in a couple weeks and not go tomorrow
Steven • 9:11:13 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
It's cool. You have way more pressing things on your plate right now. I just thought it was worth mentioning.
Quintin • 9:12:29 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
I may see if I can find some free water to get myself into. Or at least adjacent to.
Quintin • 9:13:17 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
A day away from my block sounds divine.
Quintin • 9:14:56 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
Quintin • 10:44:32 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
Haha but likewise there's a whole bunch of twenty-somethings that look like they're 70 so which one would you rather be somebody who looks younger than your age or somebody looks older than your age
Steven • 10:47:21 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
Somebody who looks sexy and desirable no matter his age.
Quintin • 10:48:19 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
Quintin • 10:48:34 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
I'm figna do a big ass hot rail and go jog my fat ass down to fuckable weight again. Hahaha
Quintin • 10:50:13 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
How'd the rest of your shift go?
Quintin • 10:51:38 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
I'm almost done here if you want to go to the gym when I get down there be ready we can get really high and go to the gym in the middle of the night it was mainly be you and either and some other homos looking for a late night tale at the gym
Steven • 11:15:52 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
I got plenty of late night tale for sale
Quintin • 11:17:16 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
Kidding aside, I just ransacked my closet and my hampers looking for suitable gym clothes and found none. I have to go shopping on payday
Quintin • 11:18:32 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
But don't let my ill preparedness get in the way of you getting some of that gym rat bussy!

Don't give me that look!
Quintin • 11:21:55 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
I'm cheering you on!
Quintin • 11:22:09 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
Quintin • 11:22:30 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
Gimme a B! Gimme a U! Gimme a SSY! BUSSY!!!
Quintin • 11:23:07 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
But just because I don't want to go gym rat hunting with you doesn't mean we can't still get really really high before.
Quintin • 11:35:28 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
I'm SORRY! Hahaha Don't be mad.
Quintin • 11:45:16 PM, Sun May 26, 2019
Fine. Be that way. I'm just gonna get twice as high.
Quintin • 12:01:32 AM, Mon May 27, 2019
I don't know if you're seriously pissed off at a little playful banter, but this shit is uncalled for.
Quintin • 12:10:23 AM, Mon May 27, 2019
Now I miss Belly.
Quintin • 12:13:30 AM, Mon May 27, 2019

Steven • 12:08:32 PM, Mon May 27, 2019
No need to apologize. Just wanted to check and make sure you made it with no problems. Have a good, calm, rational, productive visit. Hit me up when you get back if you want to talk.
Quintin • 12:10:01 PM, Mon May 27, 2019
Indeed

Quintin • 7:55:19 PM, Mon May 27, 2019
ABBA
Steven • 7:55:39 PM, Mon May 27, 2019
Not the best bits of ABBA, unfortunately. I didn't much care for the sequel.
Quintin • 7:56:29 PM, Mon May 27, 2019
Oops! I mean... Yay! ABBA is always fun. Enjoy the movie!
Quintin • 7:57:57 PM, Mon May 27, 2019
And please keep Belly from ascending to godhood and destroying the multiverse with one click of himself!
Quintin • 7:59:00 PM, Mon May 27, 2019
I CUT YOU MAN!!!!!! ABBA, is like, a, gift.... From. Sweeden.
Steven • 7:59:27 PM, Mon May 27, 2019
A GIFT!!!!!
Steven • 7:59:39 PM, Mon May 27, 2019
Haha
Steven • 7:59:43 PM, Mon May 27, 2019
For sure! Along with Swedish Fish Oreos.
Quintin • 8:00:05 PM, Mon May 27, 2019
Xana-dont get cut foo
Steven • 8:00:13 PM, Mon May 27, 2019
Delightful and delicious.
Quintin • 8:00:23 PM, Mon May 27, 2019
I assume you're asleep and hope this won't disturb you. (There is MUCH evidence on record to suggest that it won't!) But I wanted to reach you before you head back this way in hopes that you might stop somewhere along the way and pick up a can or two of quality butane for the torches. I can order some from Amazon like I normally do, but it takes nearly a week to arrive due to shipping rules for flammable liquids, and I am nearly out. I'll pay you for them via cash app. Thanks! And be safe driving home! Talk to you soon.
Quintin • 2:59:43 AM, Tue May 28, 2019
Yeah I can do that
Steven • 7:52:28 AM, Tue May 28, 2019
In leaving here about 9 0r 10.
Steven • 7:52:58 AM, Tue May 28, 2019
Drive safely! See you later.
Quintin • 8:07:15 AM, Tue May 28, 2019
I have an innate ability to draw the weirdest, most dysfunctional people right up to me for conversation I do not want at times that are invariably the most awkward or inconvenient without so much as lifting a finger or batting a lash. When they were handing out talents to all the about-to-be-born babies in heaven, I must have gone straight from the line for blow jobs, through the line for bottoming, right on to the ones for kindness, language, communication, problem-solving, and charisma and then stumbled under the weight of all those right into the queue for retarded person and abusive boyfriend magnetism without even noticing it.
Quintin • 11:57:31 AM, Tue May 28, 2019
Haha?
Steven • 12:46:18 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
Sorry that was supposed to been sent like a half hour ago
Steven • 12:46:30 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
so I got denied the apartment in Northgate without a cosigner but I got approved for the one in Federal way only bet she can only hold it till the 6th without payment and I won't have payment until 7
Steven • 12:47:00 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
Can you give her a check after 2:00 on the 6th so it can't post until the 7th?
Quintin • 12:48:18 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
Or even post date the check?
Quintin • 12:48:46 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
How much will it be?
Quintin • 12:49:37 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
Well, first month plus the admin fee and everything is at $1260, but they're probably going to want a second month's deposit the second one payment as deposit which will be another $1169. So all together saw that but they're willing to take the payment of the second deposit over the course of three months so you figure I need like essentially my whole check but I I do get my check on the 6th I can take him $1400 but i will have no money
Steven • 12:53:40 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
I can cover you.
Quintin • 12:54:33 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
I think
Quintin • 12:54:44 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
We'll talk about that tonight I'm on my way back right now I have to get pay stubs and something else to them by 6
Steven • 12:55:12 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
Ok.
Quintin • 12:55:28 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
I won't lie, I'm kinda thrilled that you got the one in Federal Way. Selfish. I know.🙏
Quintin • 12:57:01 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
No lie, I kind of wanted that one in over the one in Seattle
Steven • 1:00:46 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
Quintin • 1:02:21 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
This day needs to end! Going into a meeting for an hour. Then gonna try to head home by 4:30.
Quintin • 2:52:50 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
Just getting into 18. Be in fed way in about an hour
Steven • 2:53:41 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
At the leasing office. Had to bring in 2 months worth of paystubs
Steven • 3:51:34 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
I can't find my most recent... I hope that that doesn't present a problem
Steven • 3:52:00 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
Boss kept me in meeting an extra half hour.
Quintin • 4:21:29 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
I'm smoking a cigarette, then going to my desk upstairs to pack up and go home. Should be there in about 15 mins or so
Quintin • 4:22:39 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
Do you not have any kind of digital pay stub through ADP it whoever does your payroll?
Quintin • 4:23:35 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
It = or
Quintin • 4:23:48 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
Stopped in at Stir for a tall drink.
Quintin • 4:38:55 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
Still at the office
Steven • 4:39:12 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
No rush or anything. Just keeping you in the loop in case.
Quintin • 4:39:53 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
Werd up
Steven • 4:43:25 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
Good news? Any issues?
Quintin • 4:43:47 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
Good news I think
Steven • 4:44:06 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
Quintin • 4:44:31 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
On my way now pray about a half hour or so maybe a little longer cuz I'm on the other side of Federal Way but it looks as if I think I got it. it's going to take all of my paycheck but I got it
Steven • 4:54:59 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
I got you, boo
Quintin • 4:55:23 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
They're breaking the deposit up over three months, so my rent for the next 3 months or 2 months after this month is like 15-something. But I did it. I'm going to... I'm going to be in my own place next week.
Steven • 4:55:29 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
I'm so happy for you, Steven. I know how important this is to you on a very serious level, so knowing you are finally getting to a place of your own is the best thing ever.
Quintin • 4:57:13 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
I'm totally happy to help you with that transition as much as possible.
Quintin • 4:57:46 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
Yeah it really is. Now I'm just so freaking anxious about what if something else bad happens and now I can't get it? The last one I thought I had too, up until like the day before.
Steven • 4:57:54 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
Don't even play that game with yourself. "What If" is the worst, most useless game ever. I should know.
Quintin • 4:58:55 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
Plan for the worst and hope for the best that way you're always prepared
Steven • 4:59:26 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
I play it every 15 steps.
Quintin • 4:59:29 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
Hmm. Good point. I guess I've been doing the right thing all along after all.
Quintin • 5:00:18 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
Did you just park your front?
Quintin • 5:37:39 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
Up front!
Quintin • 5:37:47 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
I did I did park up front
Steven • 5:38:15 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
Because I was out back
Quintin • 5:38:31 PM, Tue May 28, 2019
Tonight, on a blog called "Da Yoots of Yakima"...

https://www.seattletimes.com/life/lifestyle/seattle-freeze-forget-making-friends-half-of-washington-residents-dont-even-want-to-talk-to-you/
Quintin • 10:02:27 AM, Wed May 29, 2019
THIS is at the heart of my discontent here.
Quintin • 10:02:56 AM, Wed May 29, 2019
Horrible
Steven • 10:24:18 AM, Wed May 29, 2019
Mean ol' meanies!
Quintin • 10:58:09 AM, Wed May 29, 2019
So, after you left this morning I gave some thought to something you said last night that rattled my cage a little bit, and I've decided that you were right. I should be able, at a minimum as your friend, to look at a picture of some other person with whom you interact outside of the realm of our relationship without suffering mental video transcripts of your actual carnal activities with said person. Even that shouldn't cause me the kind of distress I've been letting it cause based upon the newly defined scope of our friendship. So, in an effort to break myself of that squeamishness and to be a better, more supportive friend to you, I'm going to agree to sit down with you the next time I see you and have you walk through each of the apps and show me however many guys you want me to know about for whatever reason, and I'm going to attempt to resist my knee-jerk reaction to visualize the sex you're having with them that you and I aren't having so that it's not causing the same level of jealousy it has up till now. I'm sorry it took me so long to come to understand the mechanics behind those feelings. It should have been examined in the aftermath of that redrawn lines conversation, but I was so preoccupied with understanding what exactly that conversation meant for me and my role in your life, so I didn't take stock of how that new line also changed my perceived relationship with your other friends, acquaintances, and part-time lovers. So, you have my undivided attention next time to give me a tour of your world, just try to maybe ease me into it without getting too explicit with your descriptions. I don't want to relapse just three guys in and find myself six times more jealous of them right off the bat. Baby steps. Deal?
Quintin • 11:38:56 AM, Wed May 29, 2019
And don't dive too deeply into my wording. None of that is a criticism or judgement of you or your friends. I could probably have done a better job drafting this proposal.
Quintin • 12:07:51 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
No worries my friend I get on my own nerves
Steven • 12:14:02 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
You're not on my nerves!
Quintin • 12:14:27 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
I'm calling myself out here for being too possessive and trying to get over myself so I can talk with you about your other friends without instantly thinking they are somehow in competition with me for your time and attention.
Quintin • 12:16:12 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
But, by God, if any one of them lays a finger on you in a way you haven't expressly given consent, I'll cut a mother fucking whore up!
Quintin • 12:17:53 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
Quintin • 12:18:44 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
No worries I'm sorry if I do anything to perpetuate the cycle
Steven • 12:21:52 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
Nah. Don't sweat it. We're figuring shit out as we go.
Quintin • 12:22:24 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
You just concentrate on staying awake one of these times long enough to, you know, show a boy some tenderness. Hahahaha
Quintin • 12:23:29 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
Maybe without the hour of phone scrolling to kick it off. Or, if that's critical to the process, fine. But tell me to whip mine out and do the same. 😋
Quintin • 12:24:59 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
Whipping it out should be my forte by now
Steven • 12:25:52 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
Haha?
Steven • 12:26:04 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
Ding! DING! DING! DICK'S ON THE MENU, BOYS! COME AND GET IT!
Quintin • 12:26:32 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
HI-larious!
Quintin • 12:26:54 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
Ding-ding
Steven • 12:27:19 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
I laughed inside, not wanting you to think I was laughing at you . But I thought, hode up! I'm lying over here nekkid like a Jezebel in heat, embarrassing my entire family name, and is he suggesting that I ought to just hop on over there now and get busy because it ain't gonna suck itself?! Hahahahaha
Quintin • 12:29:25 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
THWACK! THWACK!
Quintin • 12:30:49 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
No, I was just really fucked up
Steven • 1:29:46 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
I for sure got the place I'm moving on the 6th
Steven • 3:39:00 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
That's amazing! I'm so happy for you, Steven. And I meant it, I'll help out financially as much as I can.
Quintin • 3:40:12 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
But for now, take a moment and feel this. You deserve it. You rock.
Quintin • 3:40:55 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
Quintin • 3:42:14 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
Quintin • 3:42:54 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
Steven • 3:43:17 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
Steven • 3:43:18 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
Steven • 3:43:19 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
Steven • 8:04:59 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
Those are the two pieces you need to do to your your bong what I told you about for dabs. Like my friend Larry's rig.
Steven • 8:05:01 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
Wicked
Quintin • 8:07:44 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
I'll keep an eye out for them when I get paid.
Quintin • 8:10:45 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
I can get get them for you if you'd like
Steven • 8:21:54 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
Don't go spending your money on stuff for me. I'll get it when I can afford it.
Quintin • 8:24:04 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
I can find it cheaper
Steven • 8:34:15 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
Why you so nice? Stop it.
Quintin • 8:35:30 PM, Wed May 29, 2019
Yo slice, how you be?¿‽
Steven • 10:46:17 AM, Thu May 30, 2019
Hey. Having a busy morning.
Quintin • 11:28:28 AM, Thu May 30, 2019
Taking lunch now.
Quintin • 11:28:38 AM, Thu May 30, 2019
Was in a meeting when you messaged. What's up?
Quintin • 11:29:08 AM, Thu May 30, 2019
Sorry I missed you. Hit me up if you need anything.
Quintin • 11:43:46 AM, Thu May 30, 2019
No worries
Steven • 12:04:27 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
Ok
Quintin • 12:07:09 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
What's got two thumbs and a birthday party in Tacoma for a 7 year old tonight???????????????
Steven • 3:51:04 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
This guy
Steven • 3:51:46 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
7th birthdays are notoriously wild. I hope you brought protective gear!
Quintin • 3:58:33 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
(sorry again. I left my phone at home when I went back from lunch.)
Quintin • 3:59:01 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
BTW, that's a good picture. I'd totally blow that guy in a supply closet.
Quintin • 3:59:45 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
Out of curiosity, birthday injuries notwithstanding, what does the rest of your evening schedule entail?
Quintin • 4:02:39 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
???....... Got any suggestions?
Steven • 4:10:39 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
Grilled peanut butter sandwich
Steven • 4:11:15 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
Steven • 4:12:07 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
Scrumptious
Steven • 4:12:14 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
Suggestions for your evening plans? Hmm. I'm caught off guard. I wasn't expecting so much involvement! Umm...
Quintin • 4:12:58 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
Well, there's the part where I will be getting high, which is standard, followed by the part where you delete my apps and ground me from the hateful men of Western Washington, and after that there are a couple of options...
Quintin • 4:14:46 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
Both of which involve me getting laid, but only one of which requires your participation.
Quintin • 4:15:34 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
I know those options are no way to follow up the excitement of a 7th birthday party, but honestly, what could?
Quintin • 4:17:23 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
And don't feel obligated to choose from my weak selection of Thursday night thrills. I know you probably want to do something celebratory in honor of the great news you got about the apartment, and you absolutely deserve to celebrate. I don't want to dampen that in any way, shape, or form.
Quintin • 4:24:44 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
So I'm open to hearing YOUR suggestions for things you'd like to do, instead.
Quintin • 4:25:38 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
Not that I necessarily have to be a part of them. Uggh. Ok, I'm going back to work so that I'll stop trying to be perfectly accommodating of every possible vector your life might take in the next 24 hrs.
Quintin • 4:30:27 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
all options sound feasible, maybe add bowling to the situation
Steven • 4:33:10 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
Haha
Steven • 4:33:13 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
You want to celebrate your new apartment by getting your ass handed to you on the lanes? Oh, you poor, poor son-of-a-bitch, you're on.
Quintin • 4:35:10 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
Glad you didn't choose literally any other sport.
Quintin • 4:36:08 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
That means I'm going to cut my option B loose for tonight, leaving only the get laid plan that requires your participation.
Quintin • 4:38:10 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
And I bet you probably beat me at bowling, too
Steven • 4:42:13 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
I'll go easy on you.
Quintin • 4:55:40 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
So we're clear... option B? I'm cutting him loose? Yes?
Quintin • 4:56:14 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
Or not
Steven • 5:00:55 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
If you have prior engagement it's ok. Lemme know when you are free.
Steven • 5:01:32 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
No worries no stress
Steven • 5:01:49 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
Or I could join, watch, film. The possibilities are endless.
Steven • 5:02:18 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
I set him free. I'm not ready to deal with the roller coaster of emotion and hate monstering that a joint effort like that is likely to provoke.
Quintin • 5:03:47 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
To keep it simple, I'll deal with one set of uncertainties at a time, thank you very much.
Quintin • 5:04:35 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
😚
Quintin • 5:04:41 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
Ok
Steven • 5:05:34 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
🤗😉😁
Steven • 5:05:49 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
You can conduct my grounding ceremony while we get pre-bowling high. What time is the party? I'm looking at bowling alley hours.
Quintin • 5:07:41 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
holla
Steven • 6:34:21 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
So, Tower Lanes is open 24 hours but it's technically still a school night, so I shouldn't be out ALL night. Just wondering what your timeline looks like.
Quintin • 6:35:52 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
So, your "holla" was premature.
Quintin • 6:45:36 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
Premature holleration!
Quintin • 6:45:49 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
Hi again, Belly. Please explain to your daddy just how many steps are involved in preparation for an evening filled with possibility for a bottom with several neuroses in play, which is why the ability to plan against a timeline, no matter how loosely estimated, is of such critical importance. Thank you!
Quintin • 7:08:10 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
I am in route to your place from Fred Meyer on Pacific
Steven • 7:30:21 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
Done with the party??? Or stopping by en route to it?
Quintin • 7:30:54 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
Done, out front
Steven • 7:44:01 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
Fuck. Ok. Be right there
Quintin • 7:44:34 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
If you're busy it's cool. I can occupy my time adequately
Steven • 7:45:59 PM, Thu May 30, 2019
Hey!! How did you change my TV???
Quintin • 9:27:48 AM, Fri May 31, 2019
I'm not sure
Steven • 11:33:39 AM, Fri May 31, 2019
But now my driver side window won't roll up
Steven • 11:33:58 AM, Fri May 31, 2019
So weird. It was on Spotify when I got upstairs
Quintin • 11:34:17 AM, Fri May 31, 2019
Fuck.
Quintin • 11:34:34 AM, Fri May 31, 2019
There's a video on YouTube about the PT Cruiser and stuck windows and how to fix
Quintin • 11:36:42 AM, Fri May 31, 2019
Oh, that. I did that before I pulled off from in front of your place. Was still connected to the WiFi
Steven • 11:37:57 AM, Fri May 31, 2019
Ah.
Quintin • 11:38:12 AM, Fri May 31, 2019
So there's a chance I'm going to be coming up there after while to get high with Zane, then go out for a bit and maybe ho around for a bit if conditions are suitable. But I'll have to have an exit strategy. Leave on the last bus back, ride down with you, or plan on staying somewhere until the first bus at 5:00 am.
Quintin • 5:16:42 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
Or when I get off of work I can give you a ride
Steven • 5:28:18 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
And if you're not done doing your thing by the time I'm done doing mine I can find something to do. That's not hard
Steven • 5:28:37 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
That was actually option B in the above list. So you're cool with that? It's not hooking you into coming back down or anything?
Quintin • 5:29:41 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
Sorry, I'm running to the store for work. I just kind of - I read the text, but I read it quickly. I just reread it and I didn't see that one mixed in there between the waiting till 5 and the find some place to stay until the first bus.
Steven • 5:30:24 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
I just realized the whole bunch of wrong words are in that but I'm using voice to text so sue me
Steven • 5:30:31 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
It's all good, boo! You don't have anything to pay a settlement anyway.
Quintin • 5:30:53 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
Hahahahaha
Quintin • 5:31:00 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
Ok. I'll let you know where I am around midnight. That work?
Quintin • 5:31:38 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
Works for me
Steven • 5:32:09 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
Quintin • 5:33:04 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
Quintin • 5:41:58 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
Where's a good place on Capitol Hill to go and quietly have a panic attack?
Quintin • 8:41:03 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
I usually go to my car for that, (currently in fact)
Steven • 9:05:26 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
Nevermind. Found one.
Quintin • 9:05:28 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
R u ok?
Steven • 9:05:44 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
I will be.
Quintin • 9:05:56 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
Good.
Steven • 9:06:16 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
U?
Quintin • 9:06:26 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
I'm having an anxiety attack I think.
Steven • 9:06:40 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
Tell me about your new place. What do you have planned for it?
Quintin • 9:07:10 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
Heart rate isn't super high, but almost like heart burn pains.
Steven • 9:07:12 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
Nada, move in
Steven • 9:07:28 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
Mainly
Steven • 9:07:31 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
But what do you envision making it look like? How are you going to arrange your living area, for instance.
Quintin • 9:08:22 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
I'm just trying to use an exercise I learned in therapy to counteract the panic.
Quintin • 9:12:01 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
I get it, redirect focus.
Steven • 9:14:40 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
Right
Quintin • 9:14:49 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
It's not like that this time, just a steady ache
Steven • 9:15:06 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
Better than it was, but still very much there
Steven • 9:15:27 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
Do you think you might need to see a doctor?
Quintin • 9:15:40 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
No, nothing like that
Steven • 9:15:56 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
Where is the ache. Can you describe it to me?
Quintin • 9:16:09 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
I'm sure it's just a combo of no sleep, too much stress and an overactive mind
Steven • 9:16:37 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
I'm sorry.
Quintin • 9:16:53 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
It's like heart burn only no burps, and a sip of water and antacids aren't helping in the slightest
Steven • 9:17:34 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
What have you eaten today?
Quintin • 9:17:56 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
I should have fed you last night or this morning.
Quintin • 9:18:14 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
Yeah, and egg cheese and sausage muffin and a cinnamon crepe. That's why I was thinking heart burn
Steven • 9:19:01 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
Maybe just the wrong food or the wrong amount combined with the lack of sleep.
Quintin • 9:19:59 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
You get off at 1:00?
Quintin • 9:20:16 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
That's what I'm thinking
Steven • 9:20:21 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
12:30ish
Steven • 9:20:30 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
I'm sorry for keeping you up again, especially without feeding you a proper meal. My status as a good host is falling. I'll be taking better care of that from now on.
Quintin • 9:22:08 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
No worries, you did offer to order food. I said no.
Steven • 9:38:20 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
Feel better, boo. ☹️
Quintin • 9:38:48 PM, Fri May 31, 2019
I'm at Antoine's new place on Harvard. Diagonally across from the QFC.

PART 2
JUNE 2019
A Birthday Month To Remember
Let me know if you saw this.
Quintin • 12:14:21 AM, Sat Jun 01, 2019
I see, saw, glimpsed, gazed upon, beheld.......
Steven • 12:26:27 AM, Sat Jun 01, 2019
Ok.
Quintin • 12:26:47 AM, Sat Jun 01, 2019
I'm gonna go outside. I think Antoine wants to go to bed.
Quintin • 12:27:16 AM, Sat Jun 01, 2019
She's literally locking up right now in about to leave so I can be on the hill probably 20 minutes are you going to be at that locale
Steven • 12:28:03 AM, Sat Jun 01, 2019
Yeah. I'll wait on the steps
Quintin • 12:28:24 AM, Sat Jun 01, 2019
All right just leaving the building right now
Steven • 12:28:40 AM, Sat Jun 01, 2019
Quintin • 12:31:35 AM, Sat Jun 01, 2019
Whenever you have time, no rush, shoot me a text and let me know if you need/want to stay here tonight or if you plan to stay somewhere up there. Nothing planned here, except for sleep, which I'd happily do alongside you, so it's not like your being here is interfering with anything.
Quintin • 7:02:54 PM, Sat Jun 01, 2019
Ok, as of yet I've no plans of any sort.
Steven • 8:13:16 PM, Sat Jun 01, 2019
How's your day been?
Steven • 8:13:26 PM, Sat Jun 01, 2019
Ok.
Quintin • 8:13:40 PM, Sat Jun 01, 2019
Went down and hung out with some friends after Donald cancelled our date again. I didn't want to be alone to dwell. I'm beginning to think I'm cursed.
Quintin • 8:14:42 PM, Sat Jun 01, 2019
Does no plans mean this is your default crash pad or does it mean you don't know yet if you're coming here or not?
Quintin • 8:16:16 PM, Sat Jun 01, 2019
Sorry to hear that, but fuck that dude. Missing out, he is. I'll let you know before I get off work what's up.
Steven • 8:16:24 PM, Sat Jun 01, 2019
Fuck him, fuck Zane, fuck every guy who stands me up or backs out of plans. That doesn't leave very many people on the board left to play..
Quintin • 8:17:48 PM, Sat Jun 01, 2019
Hahahaha
Quintin • 8:17:50 PM, Sat Jun 01, 2019
It means I like coming and hanging\crashing\kicking it\fill-in-th-blank at your place, always a default, (in a good way) but gas is something I need to keep my eye on.
Steven • 8:18:25 PM, Sat Jun 01, 2019
So yeah haven't decided yet if in coming to your place or whatever
Steven • 8:18:52 PM, Sat Jun 01, 2019
I hear ya. No pressure. Honestly. And I will fill you up next time I see you.
Quintin • 8:19:06 PM, Sat Jun 01, 2019
I really do mean that. No pressure. Sorry I've been such a sensitive Sally. I'm trying to suck it up and not give anymore fucks about any of it. Let me know. Later.
Quintin • 8:20:52 PM, Sat Jun 01, 2019
What's the word, turd?
Quintin • 12:53:30 AM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
??
Quintin • 1:04:17 AM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
Heading to Tacoma
Steven • 1:04:29 AM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
Thanks.
Quintin • 1:04:42 AM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
I'm here. Out back. I dozed off when I got here.
Steven • 1:57:45 AM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
Punk
Quintin • 1:58:09 AM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
On my way
Quintin • 1:58:13 AM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
Oh my fuck-shit!!!! The drama I walked into upon arriving work this afternoon.... Holy shit.... People are crying, Frank's a shade of red I'm not aware of beginning before. Others are storming around in a huff. Today is a day I'm glad I'm still a "manager" in title only, and that I don't have any actual control or culpability.
Steven • 3:28:10 PM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
Beholding not beginning
Steven • 3:28:34 PM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
Holy shit!
Quintin • 3:29:14 PM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
Why is everyone so turnt?
Quintin • 3:29:50 PM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
Ok. So making sure I got the signal right... You're not coming back here tonight?
Quintin • 10:33:03 PM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
Honestly I didn't make any other plans it's just been a stressful night but I kind of figured about like 10 minutes cuz like shitt I didn't message Quintin so I am going to figure something out
Steven • 10:33:49 PM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
You can always come here.
Quintin • 10:34:18 PM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
I like you here, dummy
Quintin • 10:34:28 PM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
Err...turd?
Quintin • 10:34:37 PM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
Besides, I already smoked way too much to be going to sleep anytime soon.
Quintin • 10:35:45 PM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
Or does what you said up there mean that you did end up figuring something out?
Quintin • 10:36:47 PM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
Nope, just finishing up here at the store
Steven • 10:38:27 PM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
Restaurant
Steven • 10:38:30 PM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
Ok.
Quintin • 10:38:41 PM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
1 employee left to clock out then I'm done
Steven • 10:38:58 PM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
Sweet. I just finished letting my sunless tanner dry, so now I'm going to get in the shower to reveal the tropical god beneath it.
Quintin • 10:40:03 PM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
Adonis what?
Steven • 10:40:29 PM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
Quintin • 10:41:18 PM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
so the planet fitness in Federal way is 24 hours so I'm going to stop there on my way to your house if that's all right with you to work out for a little while. I'm just a little irritable and I figure I can get my aggression out that way
Steven • 10:53:43 PM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
Quintin • 10:56:02 PM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
Yeah, of course. Or, you know, if you still have any of that aggressive stuff after that, there's always...
Quintin • 10:56:03 PM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
Totally kidding. Ha ha. Um. Jokes! Hee hee. All just a big funny. Nothing to see here!
Quintin • 11:08:35 PM, Sun Jun 02, 2019
Leaving the gym right now
Steven • 12:33:35 AM, Mon Jun 03, 2019
Okey dokey
Quintin • 12:33:55 AM, Mon Jun 03, 2019
Just joked about pokey.
Quintin • 12:34:16 AM, Mon Jun 03, 2019
Ok, I wasn't really joking about wanting pokey. But that's ok. Eventually I'm going to stop douching and shut down operations back there to cut down on the upkeep and maintenance costs, not to mention the collateral damage my ego suffers every time I put that lame old rickety ride into circulation and get no takers.
Quintin • 6:05:52 AM, Mon Jun 03, 2019
Monday morning mood:
Quintin • 6:06:35 AM, Mon Jun 03, 2019
Quintin • 6:06:42 AM, Mon Jun 03, 2019
Just overheard the developer in the next cube say, "You're going to be needed on this other project for a few days, because I'm going to be busy tweaking." Hemeant fine tuning, of course, but I couldn't resist saying, "Me, too, man. Me, too!", under my breath and giggling.
Quintin • 2:45:08 PM, Mon Jun 03, 2019
I don't know if it's because we were talking about feet or what, but my dogs are barking worse than I can even remember in ages now.
Quintin • 5:06:53 PM, Mon Jun 03, 2019
I just got to wipe a smug look off of a friend's face downstairs when he invited me to go to the rooftop of the Metropolitan up the street assuming I would say no, but instead I said, "Yeah, that sounds like fun. Let me see if Steven wants to go!", and his face cracked as he asked, Excuse me, WHO?" "My friend, Steven. I don't think you've had the pleasure yet, but I sure have!" Then I came inside and just giggled and giggled.
Quintin • 5:11:05 PM, Mon Jun 03, 2019
I guess what I'm trying to say is will you accompany me sometime to wreck that bitch's world making him choke on the mean, catty shit he can't say to me when he sees you on my Amber Alert?
Quintin • 5:23:16 PM, Mon Jun 03, 2019
*arm?
Quintin • 5:23:23 PM, Mon Jun 03, 2019
Doesn't have to be today.
Quintin • 5:23:45 PM, Mon Jun 03, 2019
Of course I will
Steven • 5:23:56 PM, Mon Jun 03, 2019
I'm actually out back
Steven • 5:24:07 PM, Mon Jun 03, 2019
Just got back
Steven • 5:24:34 PM, Mon Jun 03, 2019
Oh, shit! One sec. I'll be there.
Quintin • 5:25:28 PM, Mon Jun 03, 2019
Sorry. Had to get dressed. I'd just started working on finishing what I started last night. Hahahaa
Quintin • 5:32:41 PM, Mon Jun 03, 2019
I want to send you a voice message on Zello! Add me: schofieldtrip https://zello.page.link/qEQBoorYDkNL4aqY7
Steven • 1:42:54 AM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
I zellowed you real good. Your turn.
Quintin • 2:23:21 AM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
FYI, tonight is Taco Tuesday at Puget Sound Pizza downstairs. I'm gonna get a large taco pizza for din din if you're interested. They are delicious!
Quintin • 11:09:11 AM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
So, I take it you aren't in love with the idea of taco pizza, so I'm open to going out or cooking something if you prefer.
Quintin • 2:35:41 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
I'll probably just stay up here tonight. Cleaned one apt last night and almost done with the fourth today. Just finishing up laundry ing ( laundering) the linens
Steven • 4:03:32 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Oh. Okay then. I'll get my taco pizza then.
Quintin • 4:04:24 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Have a good night.
Quintin • 4:05:22 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Hit me up on Thursday when you want me to get those groceries for you.
Quintin • 4:06:15 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019

Steven • 4:06:56 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
🙂 sure thing
Quintin • 4:07:22 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
I don't have a problem with 🌮 🍕 either. It was the little numbers by the side, 14 bucks a slice. Oy' vah
Steven • 4:08:14 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
What, are you trying to kill me? (In the voice of old Jewish mother) you see this girls? He's trying to get me to have a heart attack.
Steven • 4:09:14 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
☠️
Quintin • 4:09:38 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Haha
Steven • 4:09:39 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019

Steven • 4:10:09 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Quintin • 4:10:21 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Me tonight.
Quintin • 4:10:32 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
That v could be a burp, belch or even a cloud
Steven • 4:10:43 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
🙂
Quintin • 4:11:08 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Might I recommend the avocado scrub?
Steven • 4:11:09 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Oh, no. I meant I'm going to fuck that taco pizza. Two birds, one stone.
Quintin • 4:11:48 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
And the best part is that the pizza can't cancel on me!
Quintin • 4:12:52 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Am I canceli-- did we hav-- am I forge-- tell me?
Steven • 4:14:50 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
If so I will be there this evening.
Steven • 4:15:10 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Huminahuminahumina....
Steven • 4:15:54 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
No, you're good.

Steven • 4:17:17 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
I probably made a wrong assumption. It's no thang.
Quintin • 4:17:20 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
I just almost freaked out. I don't want to be that guy, at least not to my friends, (you) hehe
Steven • 4:18:38 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
I have lots of stuff I can do, like a load of laundry in the basement or finally get my bed to stop traveling. Loads.
Quintin • 4:19:13 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
You didn't commit to anything. Don't sweat it.
Quintin • 4:19:49 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
You're not being any guy.
Quintin • 4:20:05 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Quintin • 5:36:29 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
It don't know me!
Quintin • 5:36:59 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Quintin • 5:40:54 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Uh oh. Time to wrap shit up!
Quintin • 5:41:21 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
HIV negative
Steven • 10:45:42 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
As of now
Steven • 10:45:47 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Just tested
Steven • 10:45:56 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Getting on prep in two weeks
Steven • 10:46:13 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Quintin • 10:47:26 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Were you worried?
Quintin • 10:47:56 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Eh, not worried, but it's always nerve-wracking when you get tested.
Steven • 10:48:41 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
I guess I thought you were already taking PrEP. Doesn't it say that in your profiles?
Quintin • 10:48:47 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
I try not to be stupid, so. . .
Steven • 10:48:53 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
I wouldn't know.
Quintin • 10:48:55 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Haven't had to be tested since 1993.
Quintin • 10:49:26 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
I mean, for other things, yes. Every three months.
Quintin • 10:49:51 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
3-6
Quintin • 10:49:58 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Ok. Every 8 months lately. I'm overdue for a gonorrhea test.
Quintin • 10:50:48 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Quintin • 10:51:18 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Congrats, boo. I always believed in you.
Quintin • 10:51:38 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
I just got everything tested. HIV neg, and find out about the rest in a few days
Steven • 10:52:22 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
How's the bathhouse? Getting lots of quality ass in celebration of your new results??
Quintin • 10:52:57 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Ok. Guess that's confirmation. Hahaha. Enjoy.
Quintin • 10:59:50 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Actually just had a moment of relief that I didn't anticipate.
Steven • 11:00:33 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Congrats again?
Quintin • 11:00:51 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Well, I'm happy for you, regardless. TTYL. Play safe.
Quintin • 11:05:29 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Thank you, buddy
Steven • 11:05:43 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019

Overkill. Smells like the south end of a northward facing steer
Quintin • 11:07:34 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Quintin • 11:08:08 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
You can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking your head up a bull's ass, but wouldn't you rather take the butcher's word for it?
Steven • 11:08:50 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Only because I have more respect for the sphincter than that.
Quintin • 11:09:33 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Speaking of which, I think I'm going to give mine some much needed electro-shock therapy now. Bye.
Quintin • 11:11:11 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
You fucker. Iago just came up to me on the bed and swatted at my face unprovoked with his paw like he wanted to fight me. You have ruined my cat!
Quintin • 11:34:56 PM, Tue Jun 04, 2019
Sorry! Didn't mean to Gay Fat Albert you if you were busy!
Quintin • 2:36:31 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
I'll just do the audition thing and not call you, you'll call me. Sorry again!
Quintin • 2:37:47 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
No worries
Steven • 5:10:10 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
I've always got time to be gaywhatevered
Steven • 5:10:39 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
Haha
Steven • 5:10:40 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
🙂
Quintin • 5:29:09 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
Staying up there again tonight?
Quintin • 5:33:24 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
Not even off work yet
Steven • 5:36:17 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
I still thought you might have at least given that some thought.
Quintin • 5:37:05 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
I'm working until close tonight so
Steven • 5:42:55 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
I see. Ok. I guess just let me know when you want me to go with you to WinCo and stuff. Be safe, have fun, all that jazz.
Quintin • 5:44:42 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
I just found coverage, so I won't be here all night. But I have to go pick up my money from working the airbnb yesterday.
Steven • 5:45:12 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
Quintin • 5:46:06 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
No matter. Just give me a heads up when you know what's what.
Quintin • 5:47:57 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
Quintin • 5:49:52 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
In such a bad mood right now, you don't even know.

Quintin • 6:10:22 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
Whenever you DO have a clue about when you might arrive, just lemme know. I want to make sure to plan around your arrival.
Quintin • 7:11:03 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
Is there a snowball's chance in hell of you being able to pick up a fresh, clean pipe on the way here?
Quintin • 8:33:33 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
If not, no biggie.
Quintin • 8:33:41 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
Yah, I can do that.
Steven • 9:01:23 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
Thanks
Quintin • 9:01:32 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
On my way to Tacoma right now. Leaving Seattle
Steven • 9:01:32 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
Ah,
Quintin • 9:01:40 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
That's cool
Quintin • 9:01:46 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
Do you need me to Cash App you the money, or can I just give you cash when you come by?
Quintin • 9:10:23 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
I'll be there soon get mmmmm
Steven • 9:22:18 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
What?

Was this meant for me?

Ah, that seems legit
Quintin • 9:31:22 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
So, cash App or???
Quintin • 9:32:14 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
Oh, for the love of all things spoken and un. I'll wire you the money, Captain Communication.
Quintin • 9:34:30 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
Thank you. I just got that just after I walked out of the store. That's hella funny. I'm almost to your place, like, I am turning onto the highway in a moment and I'll turn on Taylor highway in a moment and I'll turn onto the other road for the moment and then I'll be at like Chula Vista

Steven • 10:25:32 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
Hey, so you know how I've said over and over again how very, very important the truth is to me, right? And, like, how a lie about even a little, insignificant thing will do enough damage to where it would be impossible for me to ever trust anything that person says to me ever again, which would be so stupid, especially since I'm the guy who can swallow hurtful truths like their bitter candies?
Quintin • 11:55:45 PM, Wed Jun 05, 2019
I caught my boss telling her boss a lie today about me, and it was all I could do not to jump up from my desk and set the record straight about what i'd actually been doing without any help or guidance from her because she never answers my emails and ignores all my messages. I'll never trust her now, over something that barely even mattered. I just felt like I needed to remind the handful of people I give a shit about that lying to me would be devastating to me and to our friendship, and begging each of you to be honest with me or just not tell me whatever it is you don't want me to know. I'm not pointing any fingers. This whole thing has just put me on alert and I felt compelled to issue that statement because I really care about you and would hate to feel disrespected by you or any of my other three people. I don't have many friends, as you well know, so losing even one would be a tremendous loss that could easily have been avoided.
Quintin • 12:02:07 AM, Thu Jun 06, 2019
It probably sounds paranoid as fuck, and that's fair. But that's what happens to me when I discover I've been deceived. It's a sickening feeling.
Quintin • 12:08:01 AM, Thu Jun 06, 2019
It'd probably help me simma down a bit if you could acknowledge receiving those messages once you get to where you're going. Sorry to nag. I'm the gooey one now, I guess. Gooey, stewy, but thankfully not at all pooey. (This time. Uggh. FML).
Quintin • 12:43:40 AM, Thu Jun 06, 2019
Okay. I just stopped driving and just got done reading the book you just sent me. You know you're asking a lot of reading out of me - "Read my biography!", "Read these books!", "Read this pamphlet!", "Can you read that for me? I can't see it." Haha Jokes. But seriously, I know I stammer on myself sometimes, and like I said, I always feel the need to explain myself to you. That's partly because I don't want to be lying to anybody. I don't like telling lies, because you have to remember them, and I'm bad at remembering stuff. I also don't like when I have told enough lies to somebody that they no longer believe anything I say, true or not, which has happened in my past. ""and has now happened with us. -qk"" I don't do that. It's just not worth it. I always have a somewhat guilty conscience for one reason or another, and I'm also always anxiety-ridden. And the two of those work hand-in-hand to make me feel horrible about most things I do, whether they're good or not, so I'm constantly looking for reassurance. Part of the reason I explain myself, also, is I'm always looking for adulation, which I don't know why. I know that I do a good job at certain things, but I feel like if it's not recognized, then it didn't happen. And this is kind of veering off topic, but it kind of goes back to it, because it's like sometimes I over explain, which seems like I'm trying to cover up a truth. It *is* a truth! I just over explain everything. Have you heard me try to explain to you stuff you already know? And as far as your boss goes, she's a cunt.
Steven • 12:46:39 AM, Thu Jun 06, 2019
Thank you, Steven. I already knew everything you just wrote, and I really am sorry I pester you so much to read my shit, but I can't tell you how much it means to me that you pulled over and responded knowing that silence made every minute feel like an hour. I appreciate you and the patience you show in putting up with me and my triggers. I friend love the fuck out of you, and you're just going to have to put up with that, too. Good night. Do get some sleep. Tomorrow is a big day. And, yes. My boss is a big blue waffle.

It's not putting up with, it's part of being your friend. Because a part of being my friend is dealing with the tornado of words that follows me arou- that I follow around, or that exists just in front of me
Steven • 12:54:24 AM, Thu Jun 06, 2019
And a tad to the left
Quintin • 12:54:47 AM, Thu Jun 06, 2019
Honestly, your talking doesn't bother me at all, now that I know I can interrupt if I need to get you back on topic. You don't worry about talking here, you hear me? Talk all you need to.
Quintin • 12:57:00 AM, Thu Jun 06, 2019
I'll let you go and have your night. I have to hurry up and get showered before my friend, Nick, gets here to tap this ass in response to that Emergency Horny Warning I sent out earlier.

My team came in this morning and decided they all needed a foot in their asses, because they went behind my back and messed with all the work I have been slaving to get into the tool we use for development of the software. It's going to take me hours of extra work over the next week to fix what they did if I want to get the reporting back the way it belongs. Grrrrr!
Quintin • 10:28:03 AM, Thu Jun 06, 2019
Oopsie. Another book. Sorry. tl;Dr version: Fuck. My. Life!

Well, I hope I qualify for the friends and family discount. Not that I'm haggling. You're worth every penny of whatever fee you intend to charge, of course.
Quintin • 3:04:07 PM, Thu Jun 06, 2019

It's shitty.
Quintin • 8:04:14 PM, Thu Jun 06, 2019
I know I'm a fucking asshole. I'm in front of your place but should I even stop?
Steven • 8:25:23 PM, Thu Jun 06, 2019
I was going to pull up out back. What should I do?
Steven • 8:25:52 PM, Thu Jun 06, 2019
Do you want to get your stuff?
Quintin • 8:26:07 PM, Thu Jun 06, 2019
I know text doesn't have tone but it sounded like you were very very upset with me, which is I'm kind of par for the course for the day. My boss fucking hates me, and now my friend fucking hates me. It wouldn't surprise me if I just kept going downhill from there.
Steven • 8:27:30 PM, Thu Jun 06, 2019
I don't hate you. I'm angry, but that's not the same thing. I can love you and still be furious with you at the same time, because I have a high emotional IQ.
Quintin • 8:28:09 PM, Thu Jun 06, 2019
Park and come in for a bit.
Quintin • 8:28:31 PM, Thu Jun 06, 2019
I'm heading to your back door now.
Steven • 8:28:45 PM, Thu Jun 06, 2019
I'm not going to lecture.
Quintin • 8:28:53 PM, Thu Jun 06, 2019
Almost there
Quintin • 8:30:17 PM, Thu Jun 06, 2019

Steven • 8:49:27 AM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
Aw! Thank you, Steven . It's been an honor to be your friend, and taking care of the people who matter to me is how I show my appreciation for the friendship and support that I get from them. In your case, I attach a LOT of extra-friendship responsibilities to our relationship, which sometimes gets confusing and can often be frustrating whenever you or I don't know how to behave in one of those unorthodox situations, but that is entirely on me for pushing my special needs onto your shoulders, and still so worth it over all. I meant it when I told you that I have love in my heart for you, and that means taking care of you comes freely without any expectations or reciprocation required. You give me so much that's intangible and uncountable, which is better than the little ways I've been able to help you by a huge margin. So, thank YOU, Steven. Thanks for caring enough about me to always try to protect me from myself, for knowing when and when not to push me out of my comfort zone, and for not throwing your hands in the air and walking away from me and all the "extra" that comes with me.
Quintin • 9:01:50 AM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
I needed somebody to take care of. I'm glad I got you.
Quintin • 9:02:17 AM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
I should add that I know I often get too dependent on you, especially in that I tend to expect you to somehow make up for all of the physical intimacy that every other guy denies me. It's been a source of discomfort for you at times and disappointment for me at others. I need to stop that. It's an unfair burden to place on you, and it only serves to confuse or confound me whenever it invariably results in failure to launch. So please feel free to vocalize that I'm doing it when you recognize it, and that should help me to stop doing it as frequently. I won't promise anything, but I will honestly try my best to steer us in the direction of a less complicated friendship.
Quintin • 9:15:11 AM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
Likewise, I don't always clarify if I am\am not in the "mood". I should vocalize. Call it a draw?
Steven • 9:26:56 AM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
Deal.
Quintin • 9:35:36 AM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
That way I'll know not to waste a douche on you and won't spend the whole evening being coy and flirtatious like a seventh grade girl.
Quintin • 9:36:52 AM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
Quintin • 9:37:35 AM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
But that, is a-door-uh-bull
Steven • 9:38:45 AM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
From your perspective maybe. From mine, it's an incredibly awkward display and potentially a very humiliating failure.
Quintin • 9:39:56 AM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
Though I'll say that I'm getting better at telling earlier lately based on little clues you give me or by how uncomfortable you get in response to one of my wickedly seductive flirtations.
Quintin • 9:42:38 AM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
So, yeah. Don't feel bad about verbalizing your disinterest if you're not feeling it. It'll honestly take the guesswork out of it for me and give me back time I would otherwise be wasting barking up your tree.
Quintin • 9:44:00 AM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
Last night I really was into it in theory. But every time, like, I would start, like, being, like, "Yeah! Here I go! Here I go!", like, my dick was completely unresponsive. Not even tingles. Because my brain was going in 18,000 directions, and I was on the verge of crying and laughing and everything else in between. You're a hot guy, Quintin. I don't want you to ever doubt that. You're awesome! Own it and strut, because you're hot! You are very hot.
Steven • 9:45:34 AM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
""See the fuller truth finally come out about what was going through Steven's mind during episodes like the one he describes here on July 16 at 12:55 PM. -qk""
Quintin • 9:46:21 AM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
Thank you. And last night I figured it out pretty early. That's why I let you sleep instead of trying all the usual hints and touches and stuff that usually work so well for me, like, 100% of the time. 😆
Quintin • 9:48:24 AM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
I also think that whole thing played into why I snapped at you for being late and unresponsive. I douched in hopeful anticipation of some celebratory fun, and when it got to be after 8:00 with no word from you, I suddenly knew my cleaning efforts were once more for naught. It triggered an angry reaction fuelled by the hundreds of previous douches I've wasted on the dozens and dozens of flakes, ghosts, players, catfish, Stevens, and habitual wasters of time I've encountered these last couple of years.
Quintin • 9:54:23 AM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
So for that, I'm sorry. I should have limited my frustration to the specific source of irritation.
Quintin • 9:55:21 AM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
No worries, and I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner. I was on the phone. So that loan payment came out today, and yeah. It sucks that I just asked Frank if I could borrow the money. I'm just waiting on his response. Awesome
Steven • 10:02:52 AM, Fri Jun 07, 2019

No, don't
Steven • 10:04:35 AM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
I'm the one who's sorry here. This ball was in my court and I fucking dropped it.
Quintin • 10:04:54 AM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
You're good, man. No worries
Steven • 10:05:58 AM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
Wait!!! Somehow money just reappeared in my checking acct. It's not a windfall or anything, but I have $288 now as opposed to the $121 that was in there last night.
Quintin • 10:07:49 AM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
I can help you.
Quintin • 10:07:57 AM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
Ok. I'm overdrawn $130.00. Just under, actually
Steven • 10:08:46 AM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
On its way to you.

No need. I'm sorry I contributed to the stress pool by not following through on my offer to help you out.
Quintin • 10:10:50 AM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
It was completely unintentional.
Quintin • 10:11:10 AM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
No worries

Quintin • 3:44:56 PM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
What does that mean for Frank?
Quintin • 3:45:13 PM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
I assume you'll fill me in when you have time.

We can trade in that medium sized shirt for a small if you want. But, also, I think you belong to this.

Quintin • 6:40:33 PM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
Well, crud fuck. I should preface this by saying that I don't care, but whatever anomaly occurred in my bank account rectified itself after (thankfully) the CashApp transfer went through, and it overdrew the account by like $26. No!! You stop and shut that purdy mouth. It'll be fine. I just need to buy a week's worth of groceries for each of us and it'll be fine. What worries me is you having to drive back and forth to work and your trip to Spokane that you need to make. I'm going to see if I can figure something out. Hold that thought.
Quintin • 7:09:36 PM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
I'll hit you up in a few
Steven • 9:00:10 PM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
I'm waiting tables tonight so I can get some cash in my account and wire you some money.
Steven • 9:16:37 PM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
So what happened was, when I got to work Frank's on the phone and he said, "What would I think about trading him places?", and I said, "What?", and he said, "You want to be manager, and I will take your position.?", to which I replied, "Let me think about that for a minute." And I thought about it for just a minute, and then said, "Yes.", and then I was on the phone with Abhishek for over an hour before I realized that one of my servers was late. The other server didn't even know they had to work tonight, so I had to call somebody else in, and I'm a cook short tonight, so from about 5:00 until about 8:15 8:30 it was just me and one server, and we did about $1,300 in business with only one cook. And then I had to jump into the kitchen to help finish off that rush, and now the first server's wanting to go home, so I'm letting him go. I'm really going to get hit again when the next showing of Rocket Man happens (the Elton John movie), and, oh yeah, I have to be back here tomorrow at 7 a.m. I don't think I'm going to sleep tonight.
Steven • 9:18:08 PM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
I sent $23 to you via cash app. Will send a bit more after I get off work
Steven • 9:33:47 PM, Fri Jun 07, 2019
You must be exhausted. Did you get any sleep last night?
Quintin • 10:20:34 AM, Sat Jun 08, 2019
Nope
Steven • 11:20:26 AM, Sat Jun 08, 2019
Did you fix your account?
Steven • 11:20:49 AM, Sat Jun 08, 2019
Oh, man. You've got to be dragging.
Quintin • 11:20:57 AM, Sat Jun 08, 2019
Actually I am not. I'm probably going to fall out fast when I get home
Steven • 11:22:05 AM, Sat Jun 08, 2019
My bank is offline at the moment.
Quintin • 11:22:13 AM, Sat Jun 08, 2019
Yeah. You will. Just make it there safely!
Quintin • 11:22:47 AM, Sat Jun 08, 2019
I couldn't bring myself to go to bed last night\this morning. Not home till 2:30, had to leave at 5:30. Scared I would sleep through my alarm.
Steven • 11:23:16 AM, Sat Jun 08, 2019
Today 2 servers short
Steven • 11:23:39 AM, Sat Jun 08, 2019
Jeez
Quintin • 11:23:59 AM, Sat Jun 08, 2019
Kinda glad it's a bit slower than anticipated
Steven • 11:24:03 AM, Sat Jun 08, 2019
You gotta whip that place into shape
Quintin • 11:24:16 AM, Sat Jun 08, 2019
Working on it. Currently filing off some paperwork. But have been making sure things are going smoo- that the place doesn't burn down
Steven • 11:26:49 AM, Sat Jun 08, 2019
LOL

Steven • 11:33:59 AM, Sat Jun 08, 2019
What's up, buddy? How are you doing?
Steven • 4:44:13 PM, Sat Jun 08, 2019
Hello?
Steven • 1:00:57 AM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
I feel like I've been unconscious for the entire weekend.
Quintin • 8:54:26 AM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
Because I HAVE been unconscious for the entire weekend.
Quintin • 8:54:44 AM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
I'm so sore and stiff from not moving for nearly 36 hours. Ugg. But enough about my laziness. Are you ok?
Quintin • 9:00:12 AM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
I'm glad to hear that you are okay. I was getting a bit nervous. I hadn't heard from you.
Steven • 10:05:47 AM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
I'm ok I think
Steven • 10:05:53 AM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
Was there any fallout from being late this morning?
Quintin • 10:06:23 AM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
It's sad that all it takes for you to worry about me is for me to leave you alone for a couple of days. Hahahahaha
Quintin • 10:07:36 AM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
Want to go grocery shopping after work? Or are you pretty zonked out and needing to get some sleep?
Quintin • 10:10:31 AM, Sun Jun 09, 2019

Quintin • 12:29:27 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
My lower back is so fuckin'stiff I can barely function.
Quintin • 12:30:28 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
I know how that feels kind of going through similar I just snuck outside trying to find an opportunity to smoke a little so my back will stop hurting
Steven • 1:33:14 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
That is an awesome deal from woot.
Steven • 1:33:53 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
In a couple weeks I might do that when I have a little bit of money to spend
Steven • 1:34:40 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
Poor thing. I don't know know why I feel responsible for your having been late, but I do. Hahahahaha. Like my not being awake somehow caused it
Quintin • 1:34:46 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
Yeah, they have amazing deals, but they run out quick.
Quintin • 1:35:19 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
Just gotta be watching
Quintin • 1:35:26 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
Well if you feel that way I should feel that way to right? hahaha
Steven • 1:35:32 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
Jokes
Steven • 1:35:47 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
Sure! I feel guilty when I can't bear the blame for something
Quintin • 1:36:05 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
No, it makes sense inthat I didn't sleep Friday night cuz I had to work on Saturday morning I was scared I was sick to my alarm so I laid down yesterday I slept through four today
Steven • 1:36:18 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
What a wet dream I make for a therapist
Quintin • 1:36:27 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
Around what time do you think I should be grocery store ready? 5:30 - 6:00-ish?
Quintin • 3:44:48 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
Quintin • 3:52:00 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
Sorry. Couldn't help myself.
Quintin • 3:52:19 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
Oh-Klklklklkl!? https://imgur.com/a/vi5fzyN
Quintin • 4:14:32 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019

Quintin • 4:49:03 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
I'm still at work and I'll probably be here for a little bit longer and I very much need to take a shower I smell horrible like my B.o. is making me wince
Steven • 4:49:25 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
Good. That gives me time to tend to the nethers.
Quintin • 4:49:32 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
Like, get them back under control.
Quintin • 4:50:04 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
Tether those nethers
Steven • 4:50:26 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
And, yes. Please don't make me walk into a store apologizing for your funk.
Quintin • 4:50:45 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
See you later. Drive safely! Call me if you feel sleepy.
Quintin • 4:51:46 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
I don't think sleepy will be an issue. I took a really big parachute earlier.
Steven • 4:53:33 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
And I set off the fire alarm with the hot rail I did earlier. We both woke as fuck.
Quintin • 4:54:37 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
A hot rail sounds phenomenal!
Steven • 4:58:50 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
I has one for you!
Quintin • 4:59:10 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
I may have gotten into the Tuaca that was in my freezer, so excuse me if I'm a teensy bit buzzed when you arrive.
Quintin • 5:03:27 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
On the bright side, I did receive glassware from the land down under today.
Quintin • 5:16:58 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
Speaking of down under, I'd better get started on that so I don't break a promise to you and make that your responsibility this evening. #friendrules #boundaries #sistersaredoingitforthemselves
Quintin • 5:20:50 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
FWIW, I found a specialty fabric store that has an AMAZING assortment of vinyl fabrics that I want to use to make fetish gear and interior finishings out of as soon as I get moved and can turn my second room into a sex dungeon slash workroom for doing crafts and for hosting groups of PNP party goers to help me become less crippled around more than one person when I'm naked.
Quintin • 5:45:52 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
But the point was, reptilian textured neon vilyl fabrics!!!
Quintin • 5:46:41 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
Have I said out loud lately how super proud of you I am? You're powering through a lot of shit, and you should know that it's amazing.
Quintin • 5:54:46 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019

Quintin • 7:04:51 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019

Thanks. Plotting my bus route home. It's actually not that bad!
Quintin • 7:14:19 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019
I'm in route to your place now from Deanna's. Probably about 20 minutes or so away. See you in a few minutes.
Steven • 7:14:53 PM, Sun Jun 09, 2019

I literally hate every person on my team right now. They are so uncommitted to anything resembling professionalism.
Quintin • 9:54:21 AM, Mon Jun 10, 2019
If it makes you feel any better I've been a walking calamity all day, I have spilled a pan of strawberries and sauce all over the inside of a fridge I knocked another fridge over spilling apple juice and milk everywhere I also blew up a thing of icing making icing go everywhere. It's been fun but everybody's happy and I have not stained my pants.
Steven • 11:12:20 AM, Mon Jun 10, 2019
Those pants must be blessed with +10 chaos avoidance.
Quintin • 11:13:59 AM, Mon Jun 10, 2019
Made of virgin wool?
Quintin • 11:14:23 AM, Mon Jun 10, 2019
Think it's a poly-rayon blend
Steven • 11:15:25 AM, Mon Jun 10, 2019
All my pants are blessed with is +100 penis avoidance and 0% chance of a critical hit.
Quintin • 11:15:28 AM, Mon Jun 10, 2019
I have to roll a 12 on a 13-sided die in order to successfully jerk off, my pants are so blessed.
Quintin • 11:24:08 AM, Mon Jun 10, 2019
Icing all over them would be a step up! Hahaha
Quintin • 11:24:31 AM, Mon Jun 10, 2019
Wow. The D&D references might could be part of the problem. hahaha

So, I just transferred that $20 you gave me into my account, because I need to go get some gas, then I realized my account has been overdrawn $35 cuz they took something out, as I was at -$35 and now it's at -$14 something. Pretty awesome
Steven • 2:57:35 PM, Mon Jun 10, 2019
Damn overdraft penalties

Weird
Steven • 9:42:33 PM, Mon Jun 10, 2019
Sorry, I was earning some money, and I just got a brand new memory foam fucking mattress that came in a box but just unrolled and puffed up and is crazy! If you wanted to return that one you got me you can, so that way you can have some dough. I'm not saying I don't want it because it's freaking awesome! And yeah, it's, like, super cool to have like that, but if you need the money, I understand. And he also gave me the biggest fucking rock!
Steven • 9:43:38 PM, Mon Jun 10, 2019
Ouch!

Oof. . .

I'm completely and utterly done with Rory. I'm going to give him till tomorrow to reconsider not giving me my cats before I turn off his power, his internet, and his gas. That way he will be homeless, because they won't even let him stay till the end of the month if he doesn't have that shit. Oops
Steven • 10:00:17 PM, Mon Jun 10, 2019
You want to hang out?
Steven • 10:00:23 PM, Mon Jun 10, 2019
Cuz I am NOT sleepy!
Steven • 10:00:28 PM, Mon Jun 10, 2019
Sure. I mean, I'm literally still reeling from the gut punch you just dealt me with your great news, but I'm so addicted to you that I can't say no to a chance to spend time, so hit me again and come on over.
Quintin • 10:02:28 PM, Mon Jun 10, 2019
Honestly? The only reason I even said yes to the sky and doing this was Rory started freaking out about me not being able to make it home and so he started really losing his mind on me. So I fucking lost my mind on him, then for 2 and 1/2 hours made an arrangement to fucking earn some cash, and the guy fucking bought me a bed, too. It wasn't supposed to be dig at you, man. I'm sorry.
Steven • 10:03:14 PM, Mon Jun 10, 2019
This guy, not the sky
Steven • 10:03:26 PM, Mon Jun 10, 2019
I can put some money in your bank account so you're not negative anymore.

I'm assuming you're spent, so you're safe from my advances again tonight.
Quintin • 10:05:18 PM, Mon Jun 10, 2019
You keep that air mattress. It was a gift to you. If you don't want it or don't have room to store it, sell it or put it out at the curb. But I wanted you to have that to make life a little more comfortable for you. I'm not taking it back.
Quintin • 10:07:51 PM, Mon Jun 10, 2019
So, what's your plan? You coming here? Am I going there? What's the tea?

Reminder to call your property manager about your garbage disposal and parking spot today!
Quintin • 7:10:06 AM, Tue Jun 11, 2019
So I slept through my alarms again today
Steven • 10:23:03 AM, Tue Jun 11, 2019
Oh, no!!!
Quintin • 10:23:20 AM, Tue Jun 11, 2019
I'm so sorry I made you come over, Steven!
Quintin • 10:23:41 AM, Tue Jun 11, 2019
Shit!
Quintin • 10:23:46 AM, Tue Jun 11, 2019
Are you at work now?
Quintin • 10:24:06 AM, Tue Jun 11, 2019
On the freeway just getting into Seattle. You didn't make me come over. I opted to.
Steven • 10:26:44 AM, Tue Jun 11, 2019
Drive safely. Let me know how you're doing once you get there and settle down.
Quintin • 10:31:41 AM, Tue Jun 11, 2019
Yeah I will do that. I will probably be at work until about 09:00.
Steven • 10:32:26 AM, Tue Jun 11, 2019
Again, I'm sorry to have either kept you talking too late or to have let you leave so early when I could have been your human backup alarm. (big hugz)
Quintin • 10:37:44 AM, Tue Jun 11, 2019
None of this is your fault. Don't worry. It's my stupid ass fault for deciding I should lay down for like 45 minutes to an hour.
Steven • 10:43:13 AM, Tue Jun 11, 2019
Quintin • 12:25:03 PM, Tue Jun 11, 2019
Did you catch much flack from Abhishek?
Quintin • 3:55:18 PM, Tue Jun 11, 2019
Not for being late. I don't even think he knows yet. We're being inspected for our brand equity, and I'm an embarrassment.
Steven • 4:04:41 PM, Tue Jun 11, 2019
He's probably going to fire me.
Steven • 4:04:50 PM, Tue Jun 11, 2019
Oh, I think maybe that's a bit of an overreaction. He has way more justifiable reasons to do that, don't you think? You're just hearing the Hate Monster extra loud today, boo.
Quintin • 4:06:33 PM, Tue Jun 11, 2019
Let's hope so.
Steven • 4:07:19 PM, Tue Jun 11, 2019
Did you make it through?
Quintin • 7:59:19 PM, Tue Jun 11, 2019
It's ok. Sounds like you have something going on at the moment. Talk to you another time.
Quintin • 8:34:03 PM, Tue Jun 11, 2019
Hello Quintin. Yes, I made it through the day okay. Actually, better than I was ever anticipating. I'm in Charlotte right now heading home. Was wondering if you wouldn't mind some company. I'll swing by. Let me know. I'm going to drive like I would as if I was coming by, so bye-bye!

Steven • 9:00:38 PM, Tue Jun 11, 2019
Message me when you get up, as I assume you are sleeping or getting some.
Steven • 9:02:11 PM, Tue Jun 11, 2019
Neither.
Quintin • 9:09:36 PM, Tue Jun 11, 2019
Phone was on silent from work.
Quintin • 9:10:09 PM, Tue Jun 11, 2019
And my ear was hot and sore from your 35 minute pocket dial earlier when you were otherwise engaged.
Quintin • 9:11:02 PM, Tue Jun 11, 2019
Eek!
Steven • 9:11:34 PM, Tue Jun 11, 2019
I'm getting drunk.

Call A&E, and tell 'em there's a whole season's worth of Hoarders at 629 St Helens.
Quintin • 12:19:42 AM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Ok. I'm going to take your suggestion and have a nice big dose of G and fall asleep desperately sifting through hookup app douchebags for a hot lean top jock who can't go another minute without putting his dick in a fat, poz bottom tonight.
Quintin • 12:22:11 AM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Safe travels;
Quintin • 12:22:27 AM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
If you need to borrow soft cat carriers, I have two.
Quintin • 12:23:00 AM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
I can leave them out somewhere for you.
Quintin • 12:23:16 AM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Dammit, Steven! I told you not to do that!
Quintin • 12:40:18 AM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Quintin • 12:40:45 AM, Wed Jun 12, 2019

So, that was a no on the cat carriers, right?
Quintin • 8:47:51 AM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Yah, I've got a carrier, but thank you for the offer.
Steven • 9:03:22 AM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Very good. Safe travels, my friend. Don't go deciding to stay there. You're both wanted and needed back here.
Quintin • 9:34:58 AM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
I also found my parking spot.
Steven • 9:35:21 AM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Quintin • 9:35:38 AM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Oh? Where?
Quintin • 9:35:44 AM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Right across the street from my place parking Street
Steven • 9:36:04 AM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Parking Street? FedWay isn't all that imaginative with their street names, are they?
Quintin • 9:40:16 AM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
😛
Quintin • 9:40:35 AM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
No, it's like across from the garage where I normally park. I was like two spots away from it.
Steven • 9:40:43 AM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
I see. Cool. Are they going to fix your disposal?
Quintin • 9:41:29 AM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Yeah they will, but I didn't mention that to them today. My apartment is not clean enough for me to let people in there.
Steven • 9:42:09 AM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Sweet. Well, be careful. Have a good trip. Don't get into any fights. And hit me up if you want to when you get home.
Quintin • 9:43:28 AM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Thought you might be interested to hear that I think your suggestion to be her jester gay seems to be working. My supervisor has given me more compliments and has been humiliating me less since I took your advice and started saying it up for her. I may feel like a traitor to my own ethics, but at least I'm feeling less like I have a target on my back.
Quintin • 2:06:52 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
That is all. Sorry to bug. Hope it's going well. Ciao.
Quintin • 2:07:15 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Nice. I am so smart, I am so smart. S.M.R.T.
Steven • 2:08:06 PM, WedJun 12, 2019
I mean S.M.A.R.T.
Steven • 2:08:27 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Quintin • 2:09:23 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Back to assistant manager
Steven • 2:27:45 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
For a month or so
Steven • 2:27:54 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
What?? Why?!
Quintin • 2:28:03 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Will he use that time to get you the official training you need in order to succeed in that role?
Quintin • 2:39:53 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Yes. Frank called, he was scared to tell me. I'm not really upset about it
Steven • 3:04:46 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
That will give me some time to settle
Steven • 3:04:57 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
I'm not bringing the cats
Steven • 3:05:09 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Yeah, this is true.
Quintin • 3:05:12 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Whyyyy????

That last one, BTW, is how I plan to resolve my loneliness situation. Can't fret about not having sex when you have a baker's dozen cats!
Quintin • 3:09:26 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Don't be THAT guy. Haha
Steven • 3:25:10 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
😋
Quintin • 3:36:02 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
So, why is it you are coming back without the top two items on your Going to Yakima list?
Quintin • 5:00:24 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Being reasonable. I'm bringing home other stuffs, and Rory and I have come to an eye-to-eye place. Two weeks - the 24th - I'm coming down to get everything left
Steven • 5:03:47 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Including the fur babies?
Quintin • 5:21:30 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Indeed
Steven • 5:21:47 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
And a couch, shelf, housewares. My car is full now as well
Steven • 5:22:13 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Cool. I mean, that leaves me holding onto 2 engraved personalized invitations to my BirfNae ParTy And Play session, but at least you guys are temporarily seeing eye-to-eye on things.
Quintin • 5:23:42 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
And there's always next year.
Quintin • 5:24:28 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Hopefully.
Quintin • 5:24:39 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
I suppose.
Quintin • 5:24:46 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Going back to old schedule in a week and a half.
Steven • 5:24:54 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Working your birthday ☹️😔😟😕🙁😰😓
Steven • 5:25:21 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Ah, shit. So just in time for my birthday.
Quintin • 5:25:22 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Oh, well.
Quintin • 5:25:28 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
It would have been a disaster anyway probably. No biggie.
Quintin • 5:25:59 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
I do have next Wednesday and Thursday off, but I work Friday night, so if you wanted to try to do something on like Thursday or whatever you could take Friday off or something. That would work.
Steven • 5:27:52 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
I already took Friday off. But it's not a big deal, honestly. Don't sweat it.
Quintin • 5:28:42 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
It's like a hundred degrees around. Trust, I'm sweating
Steven • 5:29:17 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
I'll see about maybe Portland or something.
Quintin • 5:29:23 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Or not. I dunno.
Quintin • 5:29:42 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Anyway, yeah, my supervisor has been loving it now that I'm her personal gay jester. I feel ridiculous, but I can't argue with results.
Quintin • 5:30:42 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
So, thanks for the advice.

I think I'll go to bed now. Be careful driving. See you when I see you. Take care.
Quintin • 5:43:25 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Really? You're going to go to bed now?
Steven • 5:43:51 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
I mean, if so, sleep well my friend. But, wow! It's, like, quarter to 6:00!
Steven • 5:44:09 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Sleep is a great way to thwart the Hate Monster, and he's loud as FUCK at the moment. So, don't think of it as being lazy. Think of it as weaponized unconsciousness aimed at defensive measures tasked with preserving my sweet and cheerful disposition.
Quintin • 5:44:52 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
You're awesome, Quint
Steven • 5:46:01 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019

Hit me up.
Quintin • 5:52:05 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Did you just wake me and any living person within a mile with your music on my TV???
Quintin • 10:21:30 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
At vol 90?!
Quintin • 10:21:44 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Twice???!!!
Quintin • 10:22:23 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Possibly. I was trying to play Spotify in my car, and it kept not wanting to play. And then it would say that it was on the TCL Roku TV, like, four or five times it did this, and I'm like, "What the hell's going on here?" Now I get it.
Steven • 10:22:33 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Yeah. We need to undo that shit.
Quintin • 10:23:09 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
The crazy thing is I'm like 20 miles outside of Spokane!
Steven • 10:23:46 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
Dude!
Quintin • 10:24:26 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019
I'm about to have to unplug my TV!
Quintin • 10:24:42 PM, Wed Jun 12, 2019

That's my bestfriend that's my bestfriend YES

Yeah, but I haven't finished my storefront setup, so the site isn't published.
Quintin • 12:58:31 AM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
I need to get on that.
Quintin • 12:58:41 AM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
Should I give him your email? He is very interested in forwarding your site to his people
Steven • 12:59:34 AM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
It'll be hausofheaux.biz.
Quintin • 12:59:39 AM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
But for now, bit.ly/Heaux-Shirts is the direct link to my Spreadshirt store.

Quintin • 3:47:54 AM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
The lead developer I told you about who is constantly arguing with me over the development framework I'm trying to implement here came to me this morning and apologized a little for not seeing things my way sooner. He said he's trying to be more supportive of my ideas and wants to see me succeed. Then he said he gets caught off guard talking to me because he gets so animated and my face doesn't move, as if to hide the bottomless pit of hatred and insanity that is just beneath the surface ready to melt his soul right out of his body if he keeps talking, to which I replied:
Quintin • 10:22:48 AM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
Quintin • 10:22:51 AM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
Haha
Steven • 11:26:22 AM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
🤗
Quintin • 11:26:40 AM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
So I will be later getting back then I thought. Probably 8:00ish
Steven • 12:25:52 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
Ok
Quintin • 12:26:05 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
I could swoup you up on my way if ya want!
Steven • 12:26:17 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
Thanks for letting me know so I don't worry or wait around.
Quintin • 12:26:26 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
;)
Steven • 12:26:50 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
Sure, I guess so. Need help unloading the car?
Quintin • 12:26:57 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
What exactly does being "swouped" entail? Do I need to be wearing protective gear? Is there a weight limit? I need more facts!
Quintin • 12:28:41 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
No I can go unload before I pick you up. You are right under no obligation or expectation to unload my car.
Steven • 12:47:28 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
That wasn't my question. I don't mind helping you at all!
Quintin • 12:48:05 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
I asked if you needed help. I should have asked if I could help. #phrasing
Quintin • 12:48:42 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
It actually shows how fast I'm going in relation to the speed limit
Steven • 12:54:32 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019

Being overly sensitive to wording is kinda my thing, soooo, get another character flaw, bub.
Quintin • 12:54:52 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
Drive safely! No tickets, accidents, or drive by shootings, okay?
Quintin • 12:55:53 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
Sooooooo hot out
Steven • 2:43:51 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
So I just found out I have gonorrhea. Doctor just called me. It's a good thing I haven't had sex in like a week. I don't look forward to having these conversations. Yay!
Steven • 2:55:34 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
Oh my!
Quintin • 2:56:00 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
That's surprising.
Quintin • 2:56:14 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
But, hey. Comes with the territory.
Quintin • 2:56:30 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
Agreed
Steven • 2:56:31 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
Instantly had me calculating to see if it could have been my fault somehow, then dawned on me that we haven't done anything remotely sexual in forever, and I don't have it, at least not to my knowledge.
Quintin • 2:57:52 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
You may want to get checked.
Steven • 2:58:21 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
Guess I should prioritize making that appointment with the new doctor.
Quintin • 2:58:22 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
It would only have put my mouth at risk, and I haven't had any symptoms. But, yes. I'll schedule it now.
Quintin • 2:59:21 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
To my knowledge I have not had any of the symptoms either other than drowsiness
Steven • 2:59:56 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
Well, get yourself a prescription, sir!
Quintin • 3:00:29 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
The course of antibiotics is pretty cheap. I can help cover it.
Quintin • 3:01:07 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
WAIT a minute!!! Was that your sneaky way of having the awkward gonorrhea conversation with me?! Hahahaha
Quintin • 3:43:18 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
And are you concerned that I might have given it to you? LOL
Quintin • 3:44:07 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
Not that I think you're looking for anyone to blame, necessarily.
Quintin • 3:44:41 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
No. Not in any way thinking that. Just telling my friend, and letting you know just in case I may have given it to you
Steven • 3:47:04 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
Aw. That's so sweet of you! Best birthday gift EVER!
Quintin • 3:52:44 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
The gift that keeps on giving
Steven • 4:25:19 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
Let's hope not!
Quintin • 4:29:38 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
Heading home. It was a lovely day. My boss was out on vacation. 😁
Quintin • 4:30:35 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
Awesome I'm just getting on the road from Yakima. Kind of caught me off guard there, so I had a little bit of a freak out. Free diagnosis and all, and then Rachael's friends were running behind schedule, so I didn't get to drop Rachael off till 1:00.
Steven • 4:33:21 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
Ah. Ok.
Quintin • 4:33:44 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
Don't freak out.
Quintin • 4:34:00 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
You're still pretty. These things happen.
Quintin • 4:34:17 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
And I'd be a dirty, rotten liar if I said I never had a case of the clap. Picture it! Fort Lauderdale. Broward County, Florida. 2000. Got it in all my openings from a C-list porn star I started dating after my housemate rented him to share with me for my birthday. He (porn star) picked it up from the bath house and brought IT home to share with me. Good times. Good times.
Quintin • 4:38:57 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
Pro Tip: Never, ever, ever look up medical things on the internet.
Quintin • 5:04:05 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
Disseminated Gonococcal Infection (DGI) In rare cases, a gonorrheal infection can spread through the bloodstream and infects distant organs. Those most at risk are people with compromised immune systems, including organ recipients and people with HIV.
Quintin • 5:04:33 PM, Thu Jun 13, 2019
I was right. Antoine did just mean that I could stay with him for my birthday. Probably has another customer he wants to try and convince to fuck me or something. I think I'm going to just have a quiet night at home and save the disappointment and the year of age increase for 2020.

Steven • 7:30:54 AM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
Thanks for hearing me out about the awkwardness I am feeling about your chamber of carnal delights. You didn't divert or shy away from what could have been a very uncomfortable confession for both of us, which is exactly what I think I needed you to do in that moment. So, yeah. We're fine. Better than fine. We're something else. 🤗
Quintin • 7:54:04 AM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
But for reals, yo, back off on the stories about other guys that you "really, really like", or talking about going on dates with other dudes, because it kicks me in the jealous buttons and makes me feel like I'm getting less because I'm overqualified for a job I never applied for. Hahahaha Love ya, Steven. I'll get past this. I'm working on it, I promise.
Quintin • 7:57:15 AM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
We can go out on dates, too. Someone mentioned something about a steak?
Steven • 8:00:52 AM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
Haha
Steven • 8:01:02 AM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
And for God's sake, don't go barebacking anymore of these "really sweet guys", or I swear on a stack of condoms I'll lose my shit and hand Hate Monster the wheel. If you do fuck around raw with guys you assume are negative, which I hope this current situation helps to curb, you have to do a masterful job of making sure I never hear about it. It truly stabs. Deeply.
Quintin • 8:01:19 AM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
Yeah? Where can we get a really good steak at 2:00 am tonight then? Let's go.
Quintin • 8:01:58 AM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
Butcher shop
Steven • 8:02:30 AM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
Quintin • 8:05:03 AM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
I'm not a manager anymore at all. Well, I am for the rest of this weekend.
Steven • 8:27:11 AM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
They're going to give me a full time server's schedule and I will fill in for vacations and such for managing. They're going to have Chuy be the manager.
Steven • 8:27:40 AM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
What the actual fuck?
Quintin • 8:52:54 AM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
They need to quit yanking your chain, boo. That's fucked up.
Quintin • 8:54:05 AM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
I am not even going to stress it. they'll probably ask me to manage again in 2 weeks but this just allows me to free up more time to I don't know get another job make more money cuz I'm making tips now + 16 bucks an hour
Steven • 9:00:06 AM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
Well, that's good. But, damn! They need to pull it together up there. It's like a circus being run by the animals.
Quintin • 9:01:36 AM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
Also, an acknowledgement of that final point of mine up there is still kind of pending. It's a pretty important one, so I'm not going to let it slide.
Quintin • 9:02:36 AM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
Ament sister
Steven • 9:02:38 AM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
So... No on that acknowledgement? Hahahaha Damn! I know you said that rather than tell a lie you'd prefer to remain silent, but I didn't think this would be a candidate for that tactic. 😋
Quintin • 9:33:10 AM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
So, I'm not exactly sure which point your referring to, so here we go: Yes, I'm planning on wrapping it up. Yes, I will stop telling you all my goings on and such. No, I won't rub things like that in your face anymore. Yes, if they want to keep me around they better start showing a bit of regard for me. And 2:00 steak. hmmmmm... 2 pm the casino. 2 am Denny's or Shari's. And last but not least...
Steven • 10:14:16 AM, Fri Jun 14, 2019

Long ass day!
Quintin • 4:25:59 PM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
I just woke up like 10 minutes ago. I'm on my way to work
Steven • 6:54:26 PM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
Oh fuck!!!
Quintin • 6:54:52 PM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
Steven!
Quintin • 6:54:59 PM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
We are officially on the ween, my friend. We can't let ourselves fuck up the good shit we've worked too hard to build for ourselves.
Quintin • 6:56:10 PM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
Yup
Steven • 6:59:11 PM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
Be safe. Text me later.
Quintin • 6:59:27 PM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
I'm so mad at myself right now
Steven • 6:59:31 PM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
That's not doing any good at the moment. Breathe, calm down, and let's both do better.
Quintin • 7:00:16 PM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
Being mad at yourself isn't gonna fix anything at 70 mph.
Quintin • 7:00:55 PM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
If it helps take your mind off of your current crisis, I can say with some certainty that I will probably need to visit an urgent care or emergency room sometime in the next 24 hours if I have any hope of preserving my rectum as a viable point of entry due to the aberration that is currently and very, very painfully disfiguring my poor, innocent, underfed starfish at this very moment in time. Even a hot bath with Epsom salts and essential oils did almost nothing to remedy the pain. At best, it will be another month before I can begin to think about letting even myself lay eyes upon the region, much less a potential gentleman caller.
Quintin • 7:22:51 PM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
I'm actually running a fever, and you know how hot my body already runs on an average day.
Quintin • 7:25:06 PM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
Hey, are you okay?
Steven • 11:16:27 PM, Fri Jun 14, 2019
Hopefully you're sleeping soundly
Steven • 12:43:48 AM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
So if you're not doing anything Friday night the 21st, I was thinking maybe you and I could go out wherever. Since I know you like to drink now and again, I thought maybe we'd go out for a few.
Steven • 5:10:07 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
If you're up to it.
Steven • 5:10:14 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
I'm a server again starting Monday

Saturday
Steven • 8:50:41 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
I have been having fever dreams for over 24 hours.
Quintin • 8:51:42 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
Are you feeling any better today?
Steven • 9:23:26 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
Not really
Quintin • 9:23:47 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
I'm sorry, boo boo.
Steven • 9:26:11 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
Want me to bring you some food when I'm off?
Steven • 9:26:26 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
Maybe, yeah?
Quintin • 9:26:52 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
Look at the Shari's dot com menu. Let me know what you want. I'll bring it.
Steven • 9:54:32 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
What reheats well? Chicken and waffles?
Quintin • 10:01:31 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
That wouldn't be bad. CFS (country fried steak) Omlet. Cheeseburger Omlet.
Steven • 10:02:52 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
Patty melt
Steven • 10:03:02 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
I could make a version of Moons Over My Hammy!
Steven • 10:03:23 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
😋
Quintin • 10:03:43 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
A party melt is fine
Quintin • 10:03:57 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
Patsy
Quintin • 10:04:06 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
Panty!
Quintin • 10:04:13 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
Oh, hell no! I give up.
Quintin • 10:04:23 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
So, a patty melt is what I'm bringing you?
Steven • 11:03:57 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
Yeah
Quintin • 11:06:23 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
Cool. Swiss, white cheddar, or pepperjack?
Steven • 11:12:34 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
Mushrooms and onions? or just onions?
Steven • 11:12:50 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
Pepper
Quintin • 11:12:55 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
Fries or onion rings
Steven • 11:13:01 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
Mushrooms and onions
Quintin • 11:13:10 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
Fries
Quintin • 11:13:20 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
Cool beans, yo
Steven • 11:13:26 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
NO BEANS!

Frijoles
Steven • 11:13:53 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
Oh yeah and we don't have rye bread. Would you prefer a hoagie roll or sourdough?
Steven • 11:43:48 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
I'm picking sourdough
Steven • 11:54:25 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
You know me.
Quintin • 11:54:57 PM, Sat Jun 15, 2019
Quintin • 1:01:14 AM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
Another round of fever just broke. I should have another couple hours or so before it starts building back up.
Quintin • 1:08:56 AM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
Out front
Steven • 2:12:31 AM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
Did you fall back to sleep?

Are you there?
Steven • 2:21:54 AM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
Ok. So I'm going home. Rest well, friend.
Steven • 2:24:13 AM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
❤️ I am so sorry! You're amazing.
Quintin • 3:34:15 AM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
Just making sure you are awake for your sales trip to Sumner.
Quintin • 10:10:47 AM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
In route
Steven • 10:11:07 AM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
Cool.
Quintin • 10:11:14 AM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
Okay, I'm leaving the meeting spot. I'm going to stop by Walmart really quick before I pick you up to grab some cold medicines and whatnot. So yeah, I'll be there before too long.
Steven • 10:38:09 AM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
Ok
Quintin • 10:38:29 AM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
I need to stop at Walgreens on the way to your place
Quintin • 10:38:51 AM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
In case you want to combine efforts
Quintin • 10:40:05 AM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
I can run you by Walmart or by Walgreens but Walmart is on my way to your house and Walgreens on the way to my house from your house
Steven • 10:40:52 AM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
Either way, I definitely need to stop
Quintin • 10:43:34 AM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
Never mind I will pick you up first because I went a different way than I thought I was going so yeah I'll see you in a few
Steven • 10:44:06 AM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
Ok
Quintin • 10:44:32 AM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
Front door
Steven • 11:18:16 AM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
On my way
Quintin • 11:18:31 AM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
How you doing\feeling?
Steven • 6:28:19 PM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
Doing fine. Feeling a little better.
Quintin • 6:28:56 PM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
Getting laundry done.
Quintin • 6:29:09 PM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
How's work?
Quintin • 6:29:32 PM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
Meh
Steven • 6:47:00 PM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
😕
Quintin • 6:48:22 PM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
Quintin • 6:48:44 PM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
FYI, boredom gave way to retail therapy, so for my birthday, you're getting presents. And I don't want any lip about it.
Quintin • 6:50:01 PM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
💋
Steven • 7:06:37 PM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
Ha!!
Steven • 7:06:44 PM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
That's the only way lip will be tolerated.

"So if you're not doing anything Friday night the 21st I was thinking maybe you and I could go out wherever, since I know you like to drink now and again, I thought maybe we'd go out for a few."
Quintin • 9:23:45 PM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
In case I failed to answer that... Yes!
Quintin • 9:24:04 PM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
I can't think of a better way to spend the evening on what was going to be my birthday than out with you for some quality 1-on-1 time.
Quintin • 9:25:31 PM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
Works for me
Steven • 11:15:03 PM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
I hope so! It was your idea.
Quintin • 11:15:47 PM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
I'm not going to set my heart on it, though, considering how quickly shit changes with your job. If it happens, that'll be a gift.
Quintin • 11:17:11 PM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
Hard time closing up?
Quintin • 11:26:35 PM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
You ok?
Quintin • 11:55:41 PM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
Yup. You're good
Quintin • 11:56:31 PM, Sun Jun 16, 2019
I have a yard of 6 gauge clear vinyl en route to my address that I will install on your car.
Quintin • 4:12:09 AM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Uggh! I forgot that I somehow got volunteered on Fri to schedule a going away lunch today for my boss' boss. The last thing I feel like doing on my lunch break is smiling and playing politics with these assholes for an hour and a half.
Quintin • 10:37:18 AM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
On the bright side, I'm leaving early today so I can schedule my first doctor appointment under the new insurance.
Quintin • 10:38:27 AM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Yay you
Steven • 10:38:37 AM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Oy
Steven • 10:38:49 AM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
How's it going up there?
Quintin • 10:38:52 AM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Want to kill anyone yet?
Quintin • 10:39:11 AM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
I have questions.

Why do we work together now, and how do you get away with wearing longjohns to the office?

Oh, and how DARE you?!
Quintin • 10:48:28 AM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Steven • 11:18:45 AM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
House made. Chocolate donuts with Oreo inside
Steven • 11:31:06 AM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Really funny that we actually are having donuts.
Steven • 11:31:34 AM, Mon Jun 17, 2019

Hee hee. Steven. What does that remind you of? Hee hee hee
Quintin • 11:34:51 AM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Not adding enough powered sugar to my glaze. Damnit!!!
Steven • 11:39:32 AM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Ah. Ok. Playing innocent today, are we? Alright. Yeah, I see that, too.
Quintin • 11:40:16 AM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
And my team all left to the lunch I organized without me.
Quintin • 11:50:34 AM, Mon Jun 17, 2019

Poor guy
Quintin • 1:25:18 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Oh, yah, and I'm poor
Steven • 1:27:21 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Oops!
Quintin • 1:28:03 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Walking back to the office the long way to avoid those fuckers.
Quintin • 1:28:47 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
So rude
Quintin • 1:29:00 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
On a bank run. Taking the detour. Takes about 30 min.
Steven • 1:29:46 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Haha
Steven • 1:29:49 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Stickin' it to the man!
Quintin • 1:30:20 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
You planning on getting some real sleep tonight I hope?
Quintin • 1:31:25 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Yah. Was going to go to the gym. But I think I'll just go home and pass out.
Steven • 1:32:10 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Sorry I left the living room a mess. I should have put that stuff away. Thanks again for swooping me out of my death bed to recuperate at your place, even if there was never any pho and none of the watchful surveillance that was advertised. 😋
Quintin • 1:34:57 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Normally I'd have already mentioned something about that on Yelp, but since I kinda know you and stuff, I resisted the urge.
Quintin • 1:40:15 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
I think my Yelp rating is too good anyway. I need a couple of bad knocks.
Steven • 2:09:23 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Har har har.
Quintin • 2:19:09 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
You're probably right, but I'm not the one to do that to you, my friend.
Quintin • 2:20:08 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
And don't even worry your pretty lil head over the living room. No worries
Steven • 2:48:35 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Are you still entrusting your life to Frank's brakes this afternoon? Should I light a 🕯️ and prepare to have words with the angels?
Quintin • 3:47:27 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
St Jude it is, then. I'll get right on it. Don't die.
Quintin • 4:38:59 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
But have fun not dying. 😋
Quintin • 4:39:30 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Oh! Two last things, in case you do eventually read these: 1. Let me know when you are ready to go grocery shopping again. I still have plenty of EBT money left if you need food. 2. Part 1 of your (err...my?) birthday present arrived today, and part 2 should be here by tomorrow evening at the latest. Parts 3, 4, 5, and so on May be a few more days, but I think there will be enough here by my birthday for you to have a pretty decent haul to unwrap. If that's how you want to go about it. If you want them as they arrive, come get 'em.
Quintin • 4:57:48 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
You are too many things.
Steven • 5:20:48 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Just getting done with work. dropped off an employee at home. Now heading south towards Tacoma Federal way (ie home)
Steven • 5:21:18 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Is that a good thing or a bad thing to be so many things?!
Quintin • 5:22:13 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Too late! I have already received an answer.
Quintin • 5:23:34 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
I've always thought it was a good thing.
Steven • 5:23:34 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Your last-second submission overrules that submitted by the dishonorable gentledouche from Louisiana, Mr. Hate Monster.
Quintin • 5:25:01 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
So I have been in the car since I texted you last time and I have made it precisely one mile. The freeway is fucking horribly backed up.
Steven • 5:38:26 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Gross!
Quintin • 5:38:44 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
I'm sorry, boo.
Quintin • 5:38:59 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Is this what it's going to be like for you from now on working days??
Quintin • 5:46:22 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Because that ain't right.
Quintin • 5:46:58 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
We should experiment with the bus/train schedule one day soon. Maybe when I can go with you.
Quintin • 5:49:55 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Did you ever make it home?
Quintin • 7:21:46 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
Ah, nevermind. You show up on Scruff, so you're at least this side of up yonder. I'll bid you a good evening, and wish you many restful dreams that subside and become harmoniously wakeful dreams in time to wake you up in plenty of time to warsh yo ass before you have to go back to work. Night.
Quintin • 7:31:14 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
And I'm sorry for the extraness of my chatty shit today. My mind kinda snapped this afternoon when I remembered that tomorrow is Mom's birthday, so I've been frantically trying to to keep myself occupied and thinking of anything else non-guilt inspiring. But my dead mom guilt stuff is not on you to carry, so there ain't gonna be no Yelp review. 🥳
Quintin • 8:07:11 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
No need to apologize. And yeah, I passed the fugg out.
Steven • 9:28:01 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019
I figured. Hopefully at home
Quintin • 9:28:35 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019

Quintin • 9:29:40 PM, Mon Jun 17, 2019

Your Bitmoji is looking hot these days. You take him shopping?
Quintin • 8:13:06 AM, Tue Jun 18, 2019
So, believe it or not, I'm already nearing the end of this can of butane. Think we might hit up a head shop and get some more soon? Or I can send you the money if you want to pick some up?
Quintin • 12:44:36 PM, Tue Jun 18, 2019
We can do that.
Steven • 1:03:33 PM, Tue Jun 18, 2019
I have a dr apt tomorrow at 10.

Damn. I just remembered I need to do that too. Otherwise, quarantine.
Quintin • 1:05:42 PM, Tue Jun 18, 2019
Did you want to do that this evening? Or do you want to wait?

Yes. But I may need you to move my car anyway

Ok. Thinking it's going to be a while longer?
Quintin • 11:22:14 AM, Wed Jun 19, 2019
Not very long here with the last person, but it expires in like four minutes. So can I bring you my keys really fast?
Steven • 11:26:13 AM, Wed Jun 19, 2019
Ok
Quintin • 11:26:25 AM, Wed Jun 19, 2019
Taken care of.

Thursday, June 28, 2018 -- "Um, well, ordinarily when you make glue first you need to thermoset your resin and then after it cools you have to mix in an epoxide, which is really just a fancy-schmancy name for any simple oxygenated adhesive, right? And then I thought maybe, just maybe, you could raise the viscosity by adding a complex glucose derivative during the emulsification process, and it turns out I was right."

Antoine didn't have Molly or G for me. 😕 I think he got offended that I turned down his invite.
Quintin • 2:06:14 PM, Fri Jun 21, 2019
Just got off work. Going to meet Jose. I asked if he has any of either of those. No response yet, but I'll find out
Steven • 2:20:20 PM, Fri Jun 21, 2019
It's not a big deal. If we're going to be drinking, we shouldn't be touching any G tonight.
Quintin • 2:21:13 PM, Fri Jun 21, 2019
I believe I've decided what I am going to do tonight. I'm gonna hire a troop of mimes and ask them to do unspeakable things to my body. How much you think that'd run me?

Are the plans for us to get drunk or what?
Quintin • 2:33:19 PM, Fri Jun 21, 2019
I'm not joking about drinking and abstaining from G, babe. I don't want either of us in ICU tonight.

Quintin • 6:14:12 PM, Sun Jun 23, 2019

Quintin • 10:21:16 AM, Mon Jun 24, 2019
Yes coming back tonight. Rory will be with me but then I'm running him home either late tonight or early tomorrow morning, and then yah tomorrow I need some help.
Steven • 10:38:13 AM, Mon Jun 24, 2019
Oh. Ok. I'll lay low until you contact me, then. Don't want to stir up anything unnecessarily. Be safe.
Quintin • 10:39:18 AM, Mon Jun 24, 2019
No worries. You contact me whenever you feel like it.
Steven • 10:39:47 AM, Mon Jun 24, 2019
No, I'll give you some space. Feels like I've been all up in yo grill these past weeks. I don't want to wear out my welcome.
Quintin • 10:40:57 AM, Mon Jun 24, 2019
And especially with Rory coming back with you, I feel like I should kind of disappear for a while.
Quintin • 10:41:48 AM, Mon Jun 24, 2019
Well if you don't contact me that means I'm going to have to crawl up your butt so I guess the option is yours get overwhelmed by my texts or overwhelm you
Steven • 10:42:03 AM, Mon Jun 24, 2019
I'd love to be overwhelmed by your texts. And we can discuss that whole crawling up my butt thing another time. 😋

Quintin • 10:54:29 AM, Mon Jun 24, 2019
One update I will give you now, is that I decided in keeping with the theme I chose for this year, "Older = Bolder", I'm not going to be as shy about my attraction to you. Yes, I understand that you have misgivings about getting too relatiinshippy, but I don't share those concerns. So, as I see it, you're a friend who I happen to be extremely sexually compatible with, and I'm going to continue to invite sexual advances from you without feeling I should limit them out of respect. I can still respect you and want your dick in me. Those things are not mutually exclusive. Yeah? Yeah. How's that for boldness?
Quintin • 11:19:33 AM, Mon Jun 24, 2019
And, sure, you will likely dodge many of my advances, and I may forget that that isn't a statement about my attractiveness for a minute, but eventually I will remember that it's just you being chicken. 😋
Quintin • 11:21:58 AM, Mon Jun 24, 2019
A-a-and already I'm regretting being so bold. Hahaha
Quintin • 12:05:48 PM, Mon Jun 24, 2019
If you get a chance, can you send me a picture of the window opening and the measurements, please?
Quintin • 5:44:06 PM, Mon Jun 24, 2019
Yes
Steven • 5:47:18 PM, Mon Jun 24, 2019
Don't regret anything.
Steven • 5:48:00 PM, Mon Jun 24, 2019

Steven • 5:48:11 PM, Mon Jun 24, 2019
K
Quintin • 5:49:16 PM, Mon Jun 24, 2019
Then I have to go get my car and bring Rory back here and pick up the cats and the plants. I'm also going to let him use the airbed you gave me, kinda like a little. haha
Steven • 5:50:14 PM, Mon Jun 24, 2019
That's almost evil, if it weren't also generous. Just don't let him know, or it becomes 100% evil.
Quintin • 5:55:20 PM, Mon Jun 24, 2019
And for future reference, if you ever do some shit like that to me, you might get to meet my demon.
Quintin • 5:56:10 PM, Mon Jun 24, 2019
Understood
Steven • 6:17:22 PM, Mon Jun 24, 2019
😘
Quintin • 6:17:39 PM, Mon Jun 24, 2019
Jesus. I'm just realizing how long and boring nights I don't see you actually are. I no like.
Quintin • 8:24:11 PM, Mon Jun 24, 2019
You're sweet.
Steven • 3:13:28 AM, Tue Jun 25, 2019
You awake?
Steven • 5:28:58 AM, Tue Jun 25, 2019
Steven • 5:34:48 AM, Tue Jun 25, 2019
Morning
Quintin • 6:06:06 AM, Tue Jun 25, 2019
Morning. I'm at the Federal Way Walmart right now running to the car with kitty litter in a litter box cuz my cats are in the car
Steven • 6:06:48 AM, Tue Jun 25, 2019
I figured head for the house and drop them off and unload the car. You want to come over and help me unload the truck?
Steven • 6:07:05 AM, Tue Jun 25, 2019
I would, but I work in 2 hours
Quintin • 6:07:35 AM, Tue Jun 25, 2019
Blasted work
Steven • 6:07:53 AM, Tue Jun 25, 2019
Right?
Quintin • 6:08:02 AM, Tue Jun 25, 2019
But I'm super excited to meet the cats!
Quintin • 6:10:15 AM, Tue Jun 25, 2019
What does your day look like? You gonna be awake after I get off work, or will you crash sometime after you get the truck back?
Quintin • 6:23:04 AM, Tue Jun 25, 2019
No if I'd be putting away stuff all day Sob yah hit me up I'll come get you
Steven • 7:13:15 AM, Tue Jun 25, 2019
I think I caught the important parts of that
Quintin • 7:13:54 AM, Tue Jun 25, 2019
I'll call you around 4:00
Quintin • 7:14:05 AM, Tue Jun 25, 2019
A woman smoking outside the Municipal Building just released the wettest, most bubbly sounding fart I've ever heard in public. And she seems utterly unembarrassed about it!
Quintin • 10:18:53 AM, Tue Jun 25, 2019
💨💦💦
Quintin • 10:20:04 AM, Tue Jun 25, 2019
So a grand total of right around $400 is what it cost me to move up here just last couple days
Steven • 10:34:57 AM, Tue Jun 25, 2019
That's pretty amazing.
Quintin • 11:45:36 AM, Tue Jun 25, 2019
You definitely saved a lot by doing the heavy lifting and all the driving yourself in such a short amount of time. It'll probably cost me that just to move up the hill a few blocks. Hahahahaha
Quintin • 11:56:15 AM, Tue Jun 25, 2019
Don't forget, I still need those measurements of the car window.
Quintin • 12:09:08 PM, Tue Jun 25, 2019
Walking home now.
Quintin • 3:59:40 PM, Tue Jun 25, 2019
Okay. I'll be over there shortly
Steven • 4:00:38 PM, Tue Jun 25, 2019

Steven • 6:00:42 PM, Tue Jun 25, 2019
Out front.
Quintin • 6:26:46 AM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Thanks again for coming over and making sure I got up today. I appreciate you.
Steven • 7:14:34 AM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
😘
Quintin • 7:15:00 AM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
You're welcome. Thanks for letting me hang out with you.
Quintin • 7:15:19 AM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
No thank yous necessary! Maybe a couple of apologies on my behalf.
Steven • 7:15:46 AM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
For what?
Quintin • 7:15:58 AM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
No need for any apologies, no matter what you think you should be sorry for. I'm a big boy.
Quintin • 7:19:42 AM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
If anyone should be apologizing, it's me. I keep sexualizing the scene even when it's obvious that it makes you a little uneasy. I wish I could say that I would stop doing it starting now, but I know that would be disingenuous. The fact of the matter is that I have to keep bringing up sex to keep myself somewhat sexualized in your eyes, whether it's me initiating some tender touching, going in for a hug that ends up being a bit too long and filled with meaning, or just making stupid dirty jokes about all the sex I'm not having anymore. Because I feel like if I don't, all those other guys will, and dammit, I saw you first.
Quintin • 8:09:43 AM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
But, I'm sorry nonetheless.
Quintin • 8:09:58 AM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
No worries
Steven • 8:10:18 AM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Nothing to apologize for
Steven • 8:10:28 AM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
I do cherish these long, meaningful conversations of ours. Hahahaha
Quintin • 8:11:25 AM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Go get some sleep. 😘
Quintin • 8:11:43 AM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Steven • 8:12:13 AM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Fuck! I forgot to ask what time you need to be up this afternoon for work so I can try to wake you up from afar!
Quintin • 11:43:26 AM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
I'm up
Steven • 12:55:16 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Ok.
Quintin • 12:55:38 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Sorry if that bugged ya.
Quintin • 12:55:53 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Off work. Gonna shower, hydrate, and go to the doctor. Wish me luck.
Quintin • 2:07:42 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Steven • 2:08:47 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019

😋
Quintin • 2:09:13 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
One in there, one down there, and one back yonder. 🥺
Quintin • 3:52:40 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
That probably make more sense with the photo..
Quintin • 3:53:59 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Quintin • 3:54:07 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Yup
Steven • 8:35:16 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Yup. Guess that ought to tide me over on the conversation front for a while.
Quintin • 8:38:56 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Haha, sorry. At work. Not a great excuse, but it's all I got.
Steven • 9:13:18 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
No worries. I think the shot in the butt and the swabs in all my places made me cranky.
Quintin • 9:14:07 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
I believe it
Steven • 9:15:32 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
I'm trying this new thing where I don't volunteer information or words or anything until it is asked for or requested of me. Should be a pretty long, quiet experiment.
Quintin • 9:18:52 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
What made you decide this?
Steven • 9:20:02 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
I'm asking of you.
Steven • 9:20:10 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Sitting in the waiting room of the lab thinking how ridiculously outward flowing my energy is, too much so. I drown people in information. I want to serve only what they need and spend the rest of the time finding people to serve me some of what I need. Maybe there's a kind of balance I can find.
Quintin • 9:23:20 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
*finding MORE people...
Quintin • 9:24:56 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
That still doesn't sound right. I don't mean I'm going to become 100% dedicated to finding people to "my needs" bukkake me. Just that I want to leave space for some inward energy flow.
Quintin • 9:51:13 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
I read an article about auras and energy exchanges, and so much of it made sense! "The more intimate you get with someone, the more your energies entwine, and you each absorb the other's good or bad energy." "When your sexual partner is loving, affectionate, and attentive, you absorb all of that delightful energy. If they're pessimistic, negative, and always deflated or defeated, that terrible energy is also absorbed."
Quintin • 10:10:19 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
I hope I haven't been pouring a steady stream of gross energy into you.
Quintin • 10:11:10 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Aren't you glad you asked? Hahaha
Quintin • 10:54:10 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Alright. Good night.
Quintin • 10:57:24 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
I'm too fuckin' high on edibles, and I don't like it! I'm about to freak out.
Quintin • 11:02:25 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
It's because the only good in my apartment is edibles, so when I got hungry after eating one, I ate another one, then another one.
Quintin • 11:08:06 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Jeez. And I'm doing it right now. You're probably trying to enjoy your first night in Seattle without quarantine, and getting your dick wet, and here I am flooding your phone with negativity and bad vibes. Practicing what I preach, I will now freak out alone in silence. Have fun or whatever. Fuck a couple for me.
Quintin • 11:12:14 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
I'm almost home. I'm going to go to bed
Steven • 11:15:49 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
No worries
Steven • 11:15:54 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
I was just kidding. Don't fuck a couple for me. Like, ever. Just fuck the usual number you like to fuck for yourself. Don't overfuck on my behalf.
Quintin • 11:18:41 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Haha.
Steven • 11:29:28 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Don't freak out
Steven • 11:29:37 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Calm
Steven • 11:29:42 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Calm
Steven • 11:29:44 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Calm
Steven • 11:29:52 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Soothing
Steven • 11:29:55 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
I don't understand how you like feeling like this
Quintin • 11:29:58 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Different strokes for different folks I guess
Steven • 11:30:33 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
I'm so hungry and too intensely focused on thoughts.
Quintin • 11:30:51 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
And THOTs.
Quintin • 11:31:04 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Are you out of foods?
Steven • 11:31:24 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Ok. Anyway. Go to bed. Get some more sleep
Quintin • 11:31:39 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Talk to you tomorrow or Friday.
Quintin • 11:31:57 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Tomorrow I'm sure
Steven • 11:34:03 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Meaning you're sure I can't go a day without showering my energy on you?
Quintin • 11:35:04 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Yes I can.
Quintin • 11:35:14 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Yeah, no food, but I get paid tomorrow night, so I'll get some then.
Quintin • 11:36:22 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Do you want me to bring you some foods?
Steven • 11:45:14 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
No. Don't be silly. I'm not going to have you come all the way to Tacoma after just getting through working and traffic to bring me a snack. Do you really think I could be so selfish? hahahahaha
Quintin • 11:45:31 PM, Wed Jun 26, 2019
Christ in the kitchen making toast! I have just reread the litany of text messages I sent to you last night, and I am mortified. I am so sorry for being such a handful. It's true, I was uncomfortably high on cannabis edibles, but that doesn't excuse my being so aggressively needy. I'll understand if you want to take a break from me to recharge your tolerance batteries. I certainly earned a time out last night. I'm sorry.
Quintin • 9:58:42 AM, Thu Jun 27, 2019
Quintin • 9:59:43 AM, Thu Jun 27, 2019
I don't think you need to stress about any litany or anything of the like.
Steven • 1:17:30 PM, Thu Jun 27, 2019
Well, thanks for being the forgiving type.
Quintin • 1:20:24 PM, Thu Jun 27, 2019
That's me.
Steven • 1:23:24 PM, Thu Jun 27, 2019
I always consider any of my explosions of texts that touch on serious topics as bad whenever they don't get a direct response from you, because I assume I've either pushed a subject too far or said something you don't want to confirm or deny because it'll hurt my feelings. And last night was a mess of all of the above, I'm sure.
Quintin • 1:35:42 PM, Thu Jun 27, 2019
Quintin • 4:45:13 PM, Thu Jun 27, 2019
I'm so hungry I'm looking at old pictures of meals I've eaten! That one was from 7 years ago. Tic toc, 7 o'clock!
Quintin • 4:52:35 PM, Thu Jun 27, 2019
What's at 7:00?
Steven • 4:59:21 PM, Thu Jun 27, 2019
Paycheck hits the account.
Quintin • 4:59:40 PM, Thu Jun 27, 2019
Ah
Steven • 4:59:55 PM, Thu Jun 27, 2019
At which time I can order food and/or T.
Quintin • 5:00:04 PM, Thu Jun 27, 2019
That will also probably be about the same time I get home
Steven • 5:00:29 PM, Thu Jun 27, 2019
Haven't even made it through Seattle yet
Steven • 5:00:53 PM, Thu Jun 27, 2019

Quintin • 5:01:58 PM, Thu Jun 27, 2019

Quintin • 7:40:45 AM, Fri Jun 28, 2019
When your sexual partner is loving and affectionate then you absorb all of that delightful energy and if they’re pessimistic and always negative then you absorb all of that terrible energy. This transaction also has a compound effect in that you also absorb the energy of everyone else who your partner has had sex with prior to you.
Quintin • 7:41:42 AM, Fri Jun 28, 2019

Quintin • 4:59:27 PM, Fri Jun 28, 2019
Well, now yeah again. I can fuckin' eat. Z won't travel outside Seattle this weekend because of all the business in town. And I won't subject myself to being stood up again amid the insanity happening in Seattle this weekend. So, fuck it. Taco pizza.

I'ma put on some rings, take off necklace, tight, but not constricting clothes and there's about to be a what?
Steven • 5:58:21 PM, Fri Jun 28, 2019
No, he was upfront about it. He told me he couldn't turn away the business to travel down here, which at least let me know I wasn't getting any dick.
Quintin • 5:58:22 PM, Fri Jun 28, 2019
Queer Fi-eet
Steven • 5:58:33 PM, Fri Jun 28, 2019
I mean, yeah. I'm disappointed, but honesty goes a long way toward taking away some of the sting.
Quintin • 5:59:39 PM, Fri Jun 28, 2019
If he'd led me on all day and night making me think something was going to happen, knowing it wasn't, then he'd deserve an ass whooping.
Quintin • 6:00:33 PM, Fri Jun 28, 2019
Ok, I'ma take off dem' rings. Save em' fo anudda day.
Steven • 6:01:21 PM, Fri Jun 28, 2019

Wow. You have a solid week's worth of backed up Snaps from me on Snapchat!
Quintin • 8:55:20 PM, Fri Jun 28, 2019
How rude.
Quintin • 8:55:45 PM, Fri Jun 28, 2019
Now that you have all of your belongings moved into your new apartment, would you mind returning some of the things I lent to hold you over, like the bowls? I need to start packing up this apartment in the next week or so, and it'd help for it to all be in one place.
Quintin • 2:23:02 AM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
If you don't need them, of course.
Quintin • 2:23:20 AM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
I wouldn't want to deprive you of their use if you still haven't found replacements.
Quintin • 2:24:13 AM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
But no rush, either. I know you were looking forward to going to the bathhouse after work, so I don't expect to be seeing you anytime soon. But maybe Monday when you're off? If you can find time? Thanks.
Quintin • 4:55:24 AM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
Yah, of course. I don't think I'm going to go to the bathhouse. Just doesn't sound super appealing to me today.
Steven • 8:27:04 AM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
Cool.
Quintin • 8:27:26 AM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
But yeah I will be sure to have them all washed and such this evening
Steven • 8:27:39 AM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
How's you this morning
Steven • 8:27:52 AM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
And I bought that cat tree in lieu of going out. I figured spend that money on something useful
Steven • 8:32:49 AM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
Nice.
Quintin • 8:33:12 AM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
I'm doing well. Have a friend up visiting from Portland and another one on his way from McKinney to join us.
Quintin • 8:34:17 AM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
And of course just like everything else the cats looked at it sniffed it and left it alone but I've seen Bob scratching at a few times and Harry's going to start playing in it I know it
Steven • 8:34:41 AM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
Nice. Enjoy.
Steven • 8:34:49 AM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
Thanks
Quintin • 8:35:08 AM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
Steven • 8:35:24 AM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
I'll leave you be.
Steven • 8:35:34 AM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
Talk to you later
Steven • 8:35:41 AM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
Have a great day at work. Talk later?
Quintin • 8:36:13 AM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
Of course
Steven • 8:36:39 AM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
Hope your having a good day.@====>)*(
Steven • 1:53:23 PM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
I am, thanks.
Quintin • 1:58:27 PM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
You?
Quintin • 1:58:31 PM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
How was your workday?
Quintin • 6:10:22 PM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
Finally over.
Steven • 6:12:02 PM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
How's your day going
Steven • 6:12:08 PM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
It was good. Got some overdue chores taken care of. Trying to decide what to do this evening.
Quintin • 6:13:03 PM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
Short term, my plans are 100% focused on this.
Quintin • 6:17:30 PM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
Quintin • 6:17:52 PM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!!!!
Quintin • 6:57:47 PM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
The apartment isn't going to be ready on the 15th. I have to wait until August 1 now. 💔
Quintin • 7:08:38 PM, Sat Jun 29, 2019
Bullshit, wtf
Steven • 6:47:22 AM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
Wanna come over tonight for dinner? I'll make sketti!
Steven • 4:23:33 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
Sure. That sounds fun.
Quintin • 4:24:27 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
What time? Can I bring anything? Should I Uber?
Quintin • 4:26:42 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
I figured I'd come pick you up about like 6:30 or 7 and then you would just stay the night
Steven • 4:27:46 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
Oh! Ok. I'll put together a bag then. How exciting!
Quintin • 4:28:18 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
You've got time. It's not till tomorrow.
Steven • 4:28:51 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
Huh?
Quintin • 4:29:16 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
It was supposed to say tomorrow. I'm sorry! Not tonight. I'm not even going to be here for the most part tonight. I'm going to Yakima to give Rory a ride to his sister's.
Steven • 4:29:53 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
I'm sorry, friend. I did not mean to do that.
Steven • 4:29:59 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
Oh.

Steven • 4:32:35 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
Sure, it's fine. Don't worry about it.
Quintin • 4:33:07 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
Putting you on the calendar.
Quintin • 4:33:24 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
Cool
Steven • 4:45:25 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
Unless that's what you call your shit list.
Steven • 4:45:39 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
No, that's a separate file.
Quintin • 4:56:54 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
Reserved for people who don't respond to my messages or emails or radio calls.
Quintin • 4:57:49 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
Alors! Quel surprise! You already have a reservation.
Quintin • 5:08:10 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
🙂 Case in point.
Quintin • 6:25:47 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
Yeah I just got all of those because I went highway 410 which goes up Chinook pass. I haven't had service since, oh, I don't know. . . probably about 5 or so.
Steven • 7:29:39 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
Oh, no, I mean for like days. But it's no big deal. I send so much. I get it.
Quintin • 7:30:37 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
That's stopping.
Quintin • 7:30:48 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
:(
Steven • 7:31:14 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
I can send more, really I can!
Steven • 7:32:12 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
Pwommiss!!!
Steven • 7:32:56 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
Nah. You do you, boo. I was expecting way too much.
Quintin • 7:32:58 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
I got carried away for a while there. But I checked myself, and shit's back how it needs to be.

Doubling up on my antidepressants and anxiety pills helped clear my head of all those ridiculous extra thoughts and hopes, and left room for only what is and what matters. AND it helped numb what would have been a pretty hurtful separation so that I can maintain the friendship we have without letting resentment get in the way. It's a good thing, this numbness. I promise.
Quintin • 7:44:54 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
But if I ever miss a dose, God help us all.
Quintin • 8:51:26 PM, Sun Jun 30, 2019
JULY 2019
The Scorched Earth Approach To Problem Solving
This medication might just save the lives of Mr. Third-Person and Mrs. Unfit To Supervise as well. Though I have to admit, they're pushing it mighty hard.
Quintin • 12:49:30 PM, Mon Jul 01, 2019
Oh yeah? Do explain
Steven • 12:57:24 PM, Mon Jul 01, 2019
Without the blissful numbing effect of my double dose of antidepressants and antianxiety medicine, I would probably have to commit multiple homicides at work today, as they are each WORKING MY FUCKING PATIENCE! Luckily for us all, I'm heavily medicated and able to contain the fury.
Quintin • 12:59:55 PM, Mon Jul 01, 2019
So I am running late probably a good hour or more. I'm sorry. I'll message you before I come to your house to pick you up for dinner.
Steven • 4:27:36 PM, Mon Jul 01, 2019
Ok
Quintin • 4:36:17 PM, Mon Jul 01, 2019
Hey, do you mind if I shower at your place before dinner? My bathroom is just not working for me right now.
Quintin • 6:20:02 PM, Mon Jul 01, 2019
I'll bring my own towel and soap and stuff.
Quintin • 6:20:26 PM, Mon Jul 01, 2019
And it's perfectly fine to say no, like if the thought of my naked body on the other side of the door is just too much for you to resist, and might jeopardize something, I totally understand. I've been known to have that effect on men, so you're not alone.
Quintin • 6:27:05 PM, Mon Jul 01, 2019
But I promise, I will be as modest as a mouse so as not to tempt anyone within range of my nudity and the unbridled lust that it inspires.
Quintin • 6:33:42 PM, Mon Jul 01, 2019
Quintin • 6:35:05 PM, Mon Jul 01, 2019
I'll go ahead and shower here to save time.
Quintin • 7:24:06 PM, Mon Jul 01, 2019
Groceries are gotten. And I'm a sweaty cow.
Quintin • 8:48:37 PM, Mon Jul 01, 2019
I'll be there shortly like 10-15 minutes
Steven • 9:10:44 PM, Mon Jul 01, 2019
Ok
Quintin • 9:10:54 PM, Mon Jul 01, 2019
Do you have any Tylenol or Ibuprofen or anything? My finger is killing me.
Steven • 9:11:02 PM, Mon Jul 01, 2019
Steven • 9:11:13 PM, Mon Jul 01, 2019
Yeah, boo. I'll bring.. AAAAAAGGHHHHH!
Quintin • 9:11:26 PM, Mon Jul 01, 2019
Quintin • 9:11:47 PM, Mon Jul 01, 2019
I'm out front
Quintin • 9:16:49 PM, Mon Jul 01, 2019
Are you coming up from the pizza side, or from the north side?
Quintin • 9:24:35 PM, Mon Jul 01, 2019
Quintin • 9:29:16 PM, Mon Jul 01, 2019
Well I feel silly. I'm taking all this shit back upstairs.
Quintin • 9:35:17 PM, Mon Jul 01, 2019
Now I'm scared. Are you okay??
Quintin • 9:40:21 PM, Mon Jul 01, 2019
Just got pulled over didn't get a ticket, but was pulled over nonetheless.
Steven • 9:40:53 PM, Mon Jul 01, 2019
Be there in a few minutes.
Steven • 9:40:59 PM, Mon Jul 01, 2019
Ok. I was afraid that was one of the terrible options that leapt into my head
Quintin • 9:46:16 PM, Mon Jul 01, 2019
Wait, so help me understand something. You were like, "Hmm. I want to torture Rory, so what's a good way to do that?" And then, like a stroke of genius, you recalled how traumatized I was at having participated in that awful display in Larry's basement, and you were like, " Eureka! That's perfect! I know it worked on my Rory substitute, so it's bound to inflict at least some emotional scarring on Rory 1.0!"? Is that basically how that shitshow unfolded? I'm still shaken by the things I saw there that night, and how they made me feel, and I've known you less than a year. I can only imagine what it would feel like if I'd had over a decade and a half of loving you and hating you and becoming entwined with your soul for good or bad. That's worse than shitty. It's cruel. I hope you never decide to do something to intentionally hurt me like that, friend. It'd be the death of me!
Quintin • 4:43:20 AM, Tue Jul 02, 2019
One subtle point that I think maybe you haven't considered is how, when you and I met in Yakima, I was mostly clueless about the real behind the scenes drama at play with you and Rory. I won't say completely clueless, because you had alluded to there being an in house separation and tension along with it. But from my perspective, there wasn't any "off limits" area into which whatever might happen to grow between us couldn't grow. You get what I mean? I was operating under the simple assumption that I'd met a guy that shared some fantastic fucking chemistry with me, who I found incredibly attractive, and whom I began to really look forward to seeing more and more of as time and distance allowed. So when you moved here and added me into the shuffle of so many other guys who probably had, at least on some level, similar ideas about who they were to you, I was more than a little bit stung. Then, when you admitted that you were purposefully pushing back on my advances out of fear that we might become too much like a romantic pairing, I was literally shook. Until then, I hadn't realized that that line was there, or that you weren't as open to our growing into whatever we wanted as I had been all along. You may remember how I struggled with that information, trying hard to reconcile the feelings I'd already developed with this new limited role I was left with if I wanted to keep any role at all in your life. I doubted everything you'd said, about how you found me attractive, how you hadn't had to force yourself to have sex with me on the few occasions we did, and lots more. I couldn't figure out how any of those things could be true if you were so easily putting a stop to further advancement toward dating, because I felt those things about you, and it was all I could do not to throw myself at you and kiss you every time I saw you. That you clearly didn't have those same strong urges was proof to me that you never had, and so I had to withdraw and simplify us to the point where further humiliation was no longer a risk. Then my birthday happened, and the agonizing and awkward back and forth and stop and start all
Quintin • 7:55:11 AM, Tue Jul 02, 2019
culminating in that brief (but sexy) frottage session made me wonder for a moment if maybe you'd reached that tipping point and had gone ahead and let yourself feel that way for me. But I got immediate indications and testimony that that was absolutely not what had happened, and that it had been something akin to a birthday present to me. A one-time annual charity that wasn't to be construed as an open door for more of the same. I saw and heard how eager you were to get back out of quarantine and into circulation with your bathhouse boy toys, and it crushed me. As I saw it, you had a loving, willing partner who wanted nothing more than to give you pleasure and to be the happy recipient of all that pent up sexual energy, and you didn't even consider it. I wasn't even a blip on your mind's radar. That's what cracked my heart right in two. When I put those observations together, my heart was ruined. I hid as much of the explosion that happened to my heart that morning as I could, and that's when I determined that I needed pharmaceutical help to get past that much emotional pain. So I self-medicated and doubled my daily dose of Bupropion and Propranolol to shut it down completely. And it worked, for the most part. I can still identify the hurt, like, feel where it resides within my body, but I don't have to access it with my heart, and that is a huge win. Obviously it's a temporary fix to a problem we need to find a way to adult through. And I'd like to try doing that sooner rather than later. But today, probably tomorrow and the next day, I'm able to cope with the realization that I came home from Yakima all those months ago feeling a certain way about you, but you didn't feel any of that for me and still don't. It's embarrassing. It's disappointing. And I feel like I didn't get a fair chance at having whatever it was we might have had if you weren't in whatever headspace you say you're in right now when this is happening. I'll get over it, I think. We'll talk, and Steven, I need for us to really talk, all cards on the table, so that I can look you in the eye without feeling a cramp of sickening loss quake in my chest. So, if you don't mind, I'd appreciate it if we could have a sit down very soon.
Quintin • 8:12:09 AM, Tue Jul 02, 2019
I was going to try and do this last night, but then you were late to pick me up, and you were in a sour mood about your day, then you fell asleep so early, so I just left it unspoken.
Quintin • 8:19:06 AM, Tue Jul 02, 2019
Too much?
Quintin • 11:30:00 AM, Tue Jul 02, 2019
Well, fuck. Sorry.
Quintin • 12:05:12 PM, Tue Jul 02, 2019
Maybe one day I'll learn to keep my big mouth shut and let shit slide.
Quintin • 12:07:22 PM, Tue Jul 02, 2019
Actually, I'm not sorry. I shouldn't feel bad about letting truth come out into the light, even if it causes a bit of discomfort.
Quintin • 2:30:49 PM, Tue Jul 02, 2019
You're probably just snoring on your couch oblivious to the guts I spilled all over the inside of your phone.
Quintin • 2:38:56 PM, Tue Jul 02, 2019
Call me later I guess. If you want to.
Quintin • 4:47:55 PM, Tue Jul 02, 2019
Or don't. I suppose that works, too.
Quintin • 5:09:43 PM, Tue Jul 02, 2019
It makes no sense that I spent $80 last night on dinner and there isn't a crumb to eat in my house.
Quintin • 6:10:33 PM, Tue Jul 02, 2019
This is urgent. Call me back.
Quintin • 7:56 PM, Tue July 2, 2019
I'm calling your work and asking Frank to check on you
Quintin • 8:05 PM, Tue July 2, 2019
This is freaking me out
Quintin • 8:05 PM, Tue July 2, 2019
Please call me
Quintin • 9:13 PM, Tue July 2, 2019
Sorry I was entirely passed out yesterday.
Steven • 7:42 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
OMFG!
Quintin • 7:42 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
Slept on the couch like all day then went to bed
Steven • 7:43 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
Steven, you scared the shit out of me!
Quintin • 7:43 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
I called your work. I called the hospitals. I spent half the night in tears
Quintin • 7:43 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
God damn it, I'm glad you're ok, but fuck you
Quintin • 7:44 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
I'm sorry
Steven • 7:45 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
I'm going to be late for work because I was developing a report on the city website to find out about all traffic accidents that occurred in the last 24 hours
Quintin • 7:46 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
Jesus Christ
Quintin • 7:46 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
Thank God you are ok. But I swear I could strangle you
Quintin • 7:46 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
Promise?
Steven • 7:47 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
Too soon, asshole
Quintin • 7:47 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
When you go and listen to all of the voicemails, all of the zello messages, and read all of the texts, don't feel flattered. Feel like a cruel jerk who had me terrified and feeling helpless to do anything for an entire night and part of the next day.
Quintin • 7:51 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
Sorry
Steven • 7:57 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
I'm a piece of shit. I get it.
Steven • 7:57 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
Yeah you are.
Quintin • 7:58 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
I'm getting it from Rory as well right now. Piece of shit Steven
Steven • 7:58 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
Yup
Steven • 7:58 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
I'm going to get ready and go to work.
Steven • 7:58 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
You scared me! I hope you never have to feel that kind of panic.
Quintin • 7:58 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
Hit you up later. Sorry
Steven • 7:58 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
If I didn't care or think you were worth a shot, it wouldn't have been so frightening to not know if you were dead or alive, or to wonder who would go feed your cats, or how to get in touch with your family...
Quintin • 8:00 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
I just want to hug you and punch the shit outta you.
Quintin • 8:01 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
Bye.
Quintin • 8:01 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
You received a picture.
Steven • 8:02 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
You bastard
Quintin • 8:02 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
I'll send that $50 you requested after work today. I don't have it to send at the moment
Steven • 8:18 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
I only did that in hopes it would get me some reaction that would serve to prove you were alive. Ignore it.
Quintin • 8:19 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
Cancelled.
Quintin • 8:20 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
I'm so relieved that you're alive and unmaimed, by the way.
Quintin • 8:20 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
Have a good day at work.
Quintin • 8:20 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
Oh. Ok. Thank you. You too.
Steven • 8:21 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
You're welcome
Quintin • 8:21 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
And don't ever ever ever do that to me again. 😘
Quintin • 8:22 AM, Wed July 3, 2019
I'm definitely in the twilight zone.
Quintin • 4:38 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
And why is that?
Steven • 4:39 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
My manager was polite and listened to the very critical feedback I gave her about herself and the other teammates. And I got an apology from the developer.
Quintin • 4:40 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
Cool
Steven • 4:41 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
AND...
Quintin • 4:41 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
You responded to my text right away.
Quintin • 4:41 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
Am I dead?
Quintin • 4:42 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
You're not supposed to figure that out yet
Steven • 4:42 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
Season 5?
Quintin • 4:42 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
I'm a quick study.
Quintin • 4:43 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
So, how much of my unnecessary panic did you actually read? Or did you just skim through without letting the chill sink in?
Quintin • 4:50 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
No I get it. I'm sorry
Steven • 5:07 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
I asked because before all that nonsense, there were actually a couple of important messages that I sent hoping to have a serious conversation, but then you went missing and I kinda buried them with a bajillion pleas for contact.
Quintin • 5:09 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
I did but I figured that's something that we probably should talk about in person and as far as the food thing goes I can send you $25 bucks. Will that help?
Steven • 5:32 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
I don't care about the food. LOL I just wanted to make sure you saw the important part so we could have that conversation soon.
Quintin • 5:33 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
:)
Steven • 5:34 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
How was your day?
Quintin • 6:35 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
I imagine waking up to find yourself being screamed at by hysterical homos probably set a pretty negative tone for the rest of the day. Sorry I was forced to lose my shit. That's what happens when someone I care about makes me worry about them. 😋
Quintin • 7:17 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
But with prettier eyes...
Quintin • 8:27 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
Don't talk like that, type like that, about my handsome friend
Steven • 8:28 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
Stupid hate monster go away
Steven • 8:29 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
That wasn't even him! It's just me reciting what he's taught me.
Quintin • 8:29 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
Is it safe to assume tonight's not the night we'll be talking?
Quintin • 8:37 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
Probably I still like an hour away from home
Steven • 9:04 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
Yikes!
Quintin • 9:04 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
Ok.
Quintin • 9:04 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
Don't let the concern that it'll be too late for me be what stops it, though. I'm off tomorrow! But if it'd be too late and involved for you, I get it.
Quintin • 9:12 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
It's just that... Once an admission that heavy is just out there, hanging big and loud in the silence between us, it's, like, kind of the main attraction at the Anxiety show. So, the sooner the matter gets talked about, the sooner my organs can stop being poisoned by all the cortisol in my bloodstream from all the anxious waiting.
Quintin • 9:44 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
Plus I totally left my dishes at your place. 😒
Quintin • 9:45 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
Ok. I can tell when you're avoiding having to say something. Fine.
Quintin • 9:59 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
But know that I am over here sweating every second we put it off. There's an exchange rate for anxiety. Yours for mine.
Quintin • 10:01 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
I can't even lie I haven't read most of the text that I got since I sent the last one but I'm just getting home now so I will read them and get back to you shortly
Steven • 10:01 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
Ok
Quintin • 10:01 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
And thanks for the honesty. You should always feel safe giving me that.
Quintin • 10:02 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
Okay so tomorrow I already have plans for after work to go over to Deanna's house but after I'm done there I can come over. I'm sure I won't be there too late and I do work tomorrow at 9 a.m. I don't know what to say - you don't have to worry. I am safe and as far what's what between us, we're alrght. We'll talk about it. Don't worry.
Steven • 10:30 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
You're a sweetheart when you go the extra mile on the tiptoe part. You don't have to do that anymore. Hahaha But, thanks. Yes. No matter how late tomorrow, I'm down. I assume you will want to have this talk at my place so there can be a bolt strategy. That's fine. (But I really hope you don't bolt.)
Quintin • 10:34 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
Your place, my place, whatever works
Steven • 10:39 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
Thanks
Quintin • 10:40 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
I appreciate that. And you.
Quintin • 10:40 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
:)
Steven • 10:40 PM, Wed July 3, 2019
Good morning. Happy 4th
Steven • 8:33 AM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
🎇🎆🎊🎉🚨🚨🔥🚒
Steven • 8:34 AM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
It's technically still morning! Happy 4th!
Quintin • 11:45 AM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
So I got my check. I'm 600 short of rent. Wahoo
Steven • 11:58 AM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
Good!
Quintin • 11:58 AM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
Fuck!
Quintin • 11:58 AM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
350 really
Steven • 11:58 AM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
That was totally an accidental press of the suggested response that my phone pops up with the notification! Didn't mean to say, "Good!".
Quintin • 11:59 AM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
I still have the 250 for the cat deposit.
Steven • 11:59 AM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
Shit shit shit... Let me think
Quintin • 11:59 AM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
I've made maybe $60
Steven • 11:59 AM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
Today
Steven • 11:59 AM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
I need to sell some 🍄🍄 pronto. Haha.
Steven • 12:00 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
Shit
Steven • 12:00 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
I have $154
Quintin • 12:00 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
You received a picture.
Steven • 12:00 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
No that's not necessary
Steven • 12:00 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
Thinking of anything I could sell real quick
Quintin • 12:00 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
I have my video camcorder
Quintin • 12:01 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
Nothing. I got this.
Steven • 12:01 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
The Xboxes
Quintin • 12:01 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
Just having a quick freak out in the bathroom
Steven • 12:01 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
Let me help!
Quintin • 12:01 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
If you talk to your landlord tomorrow and set the expectation with the promise to pay all of it with late fees by next Friday, I can totally cover it
Quintin • 12:05 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
I have right at 8g of T that I could sell for $150.
Quintin • 12:22 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
I told you I got this!
Steven • 12:29 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
Sorry.
Quintin • 12:29 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
You're good, man. But you don't need to stress this.
Steven • 12:30 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
If nothing else when I get kicked out I'll move in with you in your new place. Hehohuha
Steven • 12:30 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
Have you met me? I'm going to stress about my friend being in a tight bind whether I do it productively or in secret.
Quintin • 12:31 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
As plan B's go, I wouldn't be opposed.
Quintin • 12:31 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
I'm going to swing by if that's okay they like about 20 minutes half hour. I can only stay for a minute.
Steven • 4:39 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
Sure!
Quintin • 4:39 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
But does this take the place of our meeting later?
Quintin • 4:39 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
You in the vicinity yet?
Quintin • 5:28 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
You received a picture.
Steven • 5:29 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
Yes
Steven • 5:29 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
You received a picture.
Steven • 5:30 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
You received a picture.
Steven • 5:30 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
You received a picture.
Steven • 5:30 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
Be out front in a sec
Quintin • 5:30 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
You received a picture.
Steven • 5:30 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
You received a picture.
Steven • 5:30 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
I'm heading to the hospital to see Deanna apparently her boyfriend beat her up and put her in the hospital tonight in front of her daughter and her daughter got it on her head I'm not sure how yeah I don't know so I'm heading to the hospital talk to Deanna I'm guessing Homer is not there just a hunch
Steven • 6:24 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
Holy shit!
Quintin • 6:25 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
Keep me posted.
Quintin • 6:25 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
Indeed
Steven • 6:25 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
Holy shit indeed
Steven • 6:25 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
At first, I was a little offended that it didn't occur to you to invite me along,
Quintin • 6:38 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
rather than just sitting at home alone on a holiday waiting for you to finish up with the festivities,
Quintin • 6:39 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
but now I'm kinda thankful you left me all by myself to wait for hours until you're all done with fun, because it doesn't sound very fun at all.
Quintin • 6:39 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
I hope Deanna's ok!
Quintin • 6:39 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
You received a picture.
Steven • 8:19 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
Creepy
Quintin • 8:19 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
Headed to the front
Quintin • 8:19 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
You received a picture.
Steven • 8:20 PM, Thu Jul 4, 2019
Hello. How was work today?
Steven • 6:16 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Wait. U didn't have to work today huh?
Steven • 6:17 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
I did, but I only stayed for a little while.
Quintin • 6:17 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
It was slow, and I wasn't feeling it.
Quintin • 6:18 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
I can understand that.
Steven • 6:19 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Yeah.
Quintin • 6:19 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
How was your day?
Quintin • 6:19 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Busy. Just got home
Steven • 6:19 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Busy is good.
Quintin • 6:20 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Ran my ass off until about 3 and then had to help Frank. He forgot to do the truck order so we went to Cash & Carry and filled my car to the brim full of food for the restaurant
Steven • 6:20 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
As long as they're tipping.
Quintin • 6:20 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
And then I stopped at the SeaTac Shari's to pick up some more product that is still in my car until tomorrow
Steven • 6:20 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Wow.
Quintin • 6:21 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Based on sales versus tips I did....... meh.
Steven • 6:21 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Sounds chaotic.
Quintin • 6:21 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Sorry to hear that.
Quintin • 6:21 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
😄
Steven • 6:21 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Chaos and me go together like bologna and ice cream
Steven • 6:22 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
#Truth
Quintin • 6:22 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
I did just get a free 60 inch TV
Steven • 6:22 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
It's Oscar's and so Dean said I can have it or she's just going to smash it
Steven • 6:22 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
How?
Quintin • 6:22 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Oh
Quintin • 6:23 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Deanna
Steven • 6:23 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Not Dean
Steven • 6:23 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Cool. Big porn screen for your pad.
Quintin • 6:23 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Haha
Steven • 6:24 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
🙄
Quintin • 6:24 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Did you ever figure out who you had plans with tonight?
Quintin • 6:30 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Oh, btw - my phone is gonna be shut off on Monday. Just in time for your house guest's arrival. If for some reason you need to reach me, it'll have to be by email.
Quintin • 6:34 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
How much is the bill? And did you want to jump on my plan? 50 a month unlimited everything
Steven • 6:51 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
It was pretty outrageous this month because of all the hotspots and tethering and shit I did while at your place. No, I don't want to make shit even weirder by getting on your mobile plan. Thank you, though. That's sweet of you to offer.
Quintin • 6:52 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
You never answered my question. Did you remember who it was that you made plans with tonight?
Quintin • 7:19 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Yah. I think he's going to bail on me
Steven • 7:40 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Ah.
Quintin • 7:43 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Well, I'm looking at the longest, most boring night by myself at home alone since...well, since last night, tbh. And it doesn't look entertaining.
Quintin • 7:44 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
I told myself I was going to completely cut off all visits with you until the awkward wears off, but having sat through the dress rehearsal, I don't actually like spending hours and hours alone with myself. I'd rather be humiliated and with you than sad, humiliated, and not with you.
Quintin • 7:47 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
But, I mean, I'm not insinuating anything. That would be like inviting myself into your whole situation, and if there's one thing I do still have some pride in, it's my manners.
Quintin • 7:49 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Just got done cleaning up the house. I'm about to hop in the shower. Cool if I come over?
Steven • 7:52 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Of course.
Quintin • 7:52 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
How is Deanna's mom??
Quintin • 7:56 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
She's still in the hospital. Looks like they got the bleeding stopped. She did not get airlifted to Harbor View, she's still at Tacoma General.
Steven • 8:08 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Glad they stopped the bleeding. I'll ask more when you get here.
Quintin • 8:09 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
What can I get for you? I can order something to eat. Or go get some bottles of water. I'm going to do that anyway, actually. I should have that for you always.
Quintin • 8:25 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Nothing 🍯 🐝
Steven • 8:50 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Let me rephrase that
Steven • 8:52 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
I don't need you to get me anything. I'm good. I ate at work before I left and I got two bottles of water in my bag cuz I'm going to go to the gym
Steven • 8:52 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Ok. Pitstop. Gotcha.
Quintin • 8:56 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
See you soon.
Quintin • 8:56 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
No not going to the gym before you after Deanna Hall I'm going to run the TV to the house and then go to the gym but I need to go to the gym. I haven't gone and if I don't go soon it's going to become a really big waste of moneyand also unhealthy for me and falling back on something I was doing really good at and can I get unhealthy early if I don't. So I need to start going to the gym at least three times a week. I was going 7 plus times a week. So yeah.
Steven • 8:59 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
I'm all for it! Go gym!
Quintin • 9:00 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
I was referring to your visit HERE as a pit stop. Not the gym.
Quintin • 9:01 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
Which is fine! I'll takes what I can gets!
Quintin • 9:03 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
You received a GIF.
Steven • 9:07 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
I'm out back
Steven • 9:14 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
On my way
Quintin • 9:15 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
And not Australia
Steven • 9:15 PM, Fri Jul 5, 2019
You sent a picture.
Quintin • 3:26 AM, Sat Jul 6, 2019
Hey. You mentioned last night that you had been thinking a lot about what I said, and that you had even begun to write some of your thoughts down. Would that by any chance be somewhere that I could read? Or do you intend to read from it when you talk to me?
Quintin • 10:18 PM, Sat Jul 6, 2019
How was work, BTW? Sorry to skip over the niceties.
Quintin • 10:19 PM, Sat Jul 6, 2019
Hmm. Guess I'll have to wait. Good night.
Quintin • 10:47 PM, Sat Jul 6, 2019
Sorry for not getting back to you last night. About reading my writings - I don't know. I will think about it. I'm not saying no, but I was taught once that putting pen to paper with your feelings as a topic can never end well for those who read it.
Steven • 6:56 AM, Sun Jul 7, 2019
Oh, okay
Quintin • 8:44 AM, Sun Jul 7, 2019
If you think what you wrote would be hurtful, then I suppose I can guess well enough what it says.
Quintin • 8:45 AM, Sun Jul 7, 2019
Though now my hate monster is more than a little intrigued and wants more than ever to read what's there. It's been dying for new material.
Quintin • 8:49 AM, Sun Jul 7, 2019
I think I already figured out part of what makes me an unattractive choice for sex, though, after having spent some overdue time inventorying my body in the mirror yesterday, trying to see it as you or another man might observe it, and I was disgusted to see how ugly and off-putting the scarring of the skin on my ass is. I can't blame you. I certainly wouldn't want to put my face or anything else near that discolored monstrosity.
Quintin • 8:57 AM, Sun Jul 7, 2019
That is not it at all. Please don't let your hate monster takeover. It doesn't say anything that would lead you to believe you could figure out what it means. It's just I talk too bluntly. I think bluntly I said sometimes I put things down on paper in a semi list run-on sentence paragraph and it's kind of hard to decipher for me and I'm the one who wrote it, so yeah. You get too much in your head as do I.
Steven • 9:07 AM, Sun Jul 7, 2019
Okay
Quintin • 9:07 AM, Sun Jul 7, 2019
I forgot I got rent so that's good
Steven • 9:08 AM, Sun Jul 7, 2019
Yay
Quintin • 9:08 AM, Sun Jul 7, 2019
I'm on the phone with Google asking for an extension. It's humiliating telling this Indian the reason I can't pay my bill, which was not late once in five years including the year I was employed. And now he's saying they aren't authorizing a request for a one-week extension.
Quintin • 9:11 AM, Sun Jul 7, 2019
That's some bullshit
Steven • 9:12 AM, Sun Jul 7, 2019
Oh, what a cunt. He just wanted me to beg a little. Fucker.
Quintin • 9:13 AM, Sun Jul 7, 2019
Well, at the expense of my dignity, they won't turn my phone off tomorrow morning.
Quintin • 9:15 AM, Sun Jul 7, 2019
Have a great day.
Quintin • 9:15 AM, Sun Jul 7, 2019
You too, I have to go back in from break
Steven • 9:22 AM, Sun Jul 7, 2019
What time do you want me to be ready?
Quintin • 2:03 PM, Sun Jul 7, 2019
Just making the trek out of Seattle. I'll message you when I get home.
Steven • 4:30 PM, Sun Jul 7, 2019
Okay
Quintin • 5:38 PM, Sun Jul 7, 2019
Can we cook something for dinner?
Quintin • 5:50 PM, Sun Jul 7, 2019
It's been a couple of days since I ate more than a popsicle. I should do something about that.
Quintin • 5:51 PM, Sun Jul 7, 2019
Or, if you just want to forget about it, lie down on the couch, and avoid having the talk, that's fine, too. Just let me know so I can start doing laundry here and go use some food stamps on some groceries to eat before it gets too late.
Quintin • 6:09 PM, Sun Jul 7, 2019
Though my gut tells me that may be the plan you are already following, so telling me might be problematic.
Quintin • 6:10 PM, Sun Jul 7, 2019
Well, fuck.
Quintin • 6:40 PM, Sun Jul 7, 2019
I deserve better than this. You give me a call when you figure that out.
Quintin • 6:41 PM, Sun Jul 7, 2019
I'm just gonna get as fucking high as I can so I don't feel the hunger, because I'm not loving the idea of hoofing it up to Thriftway and back in the rain to buy food.
Quintin • 7:17 PM, Sun Jul 7, 2019
I hope you wake up in time to go and get Rory and enjoy your day off.
Quintin • 9:29 PM, Sun Jul 7, 2019
Hey I'm sorry about last night. I got off of work. Got home. Passed the fuck out.
Steven • 5:03 AM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
The chat later today I'm sorry
Steven • 5:03 AM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
The chat? How much later? I don't understand what you wrote.
Quintin • 4:30 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
I'm going to assume that I'm officially the dirty little secret now, so I probably won't hear from you any time soon.
Quintin • 5:00 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
No secret, just been fighting, and then I took a nap
Steven • 5:03 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Sounds like a hell of a Monday.
Quintin • 5:04 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
So, what did your message this morning mean? It made no sense to me.
Quintin • 5:06 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
It meant that I'm sorry I didn't come over and get you, that I passed out on the couch, again, and then left at 5 this morning
Steven • 5:08 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Yeah, I figured out the fell asleep part pretty quickly.
Quintin • 5:08 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Anyway, I guess that's that. This exile couldn't have come at a less convenient time. I have to decide by Thursday if I'm putting in my notice to be out by the end of July, or to stick it out and pay rent for both apartments in August.
Quintin • 5:15 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
But to make that decision, I need to have a plan.
Quintin • 5:15 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Which we didn't get to make.
Quintin • 5:15 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
But at least you're sorry. That helps.
Quintin • 5:17 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
I told you if you want and if you can move your stuff to the new place you and Maury and Iago can stay here for a bit
Steven • 5:20 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Until the new place is ready
Steven • 5:21 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
If I move my things into the apartment, I have to also pay half the month's rent in addition to the $750 deposit, and I won't get the reduced rent in August.
Quintin • 6:04 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
So I have to move it into storage for a couple of weeks.
Quintin • 6:04 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Ah.
Steven • 6:04 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
And then into the new place on the 1st.
Quintin • 6:04 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
I'll help any way I can
Steven • 6:04 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
I can help. There is that storage unit right by my place, and a rental pickup is only like 50 bucks for 4 hours. We can get all your stuff out in 4 hours. You stay here with the boys and then when it's time we donuts again in reverse
Steven • 7:45 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Sounds doable. I just hate to impose, and to put all our cats through the stress of cohabitation.
Quintin • 7:46 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
I took half days off on Friday the 19th and Friday the 26th. If I get everything out on the 26th, it means just a week of floating.
Quintin • 7:48 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
I agree, this has potential to be a disaster, but also I think that as long as I get Bob and Harry really stoned and keep them that way they should
Steven • 7:50 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
I'm going to see about boarding.
Quintin • 7:51 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
I think that should be option 2. If they don't get along. Also there are motel\hotels that are comparable in price to bording that accepts animals. I'm not saying that I want you to stay in a hotel\motel. Just stating that if you have to board, this is a option B to the option 2
Steven • 7:56 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
True. Let me price some nearby hotel/ motel options
Quintin • 7:57 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Just as option 2 sub paragraph B
Steven • 7:57 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
🙂
Quintin • 7:57 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
1: Stay at Steven's, 2:A-Stay at Steven's and board Maury and ijiagggggo. 👎👎💀👀🖕🧟⚡🌧️🌦️⛈️🌨️🐱 2:B-Stay at hotel/motel, Holiday Inn, if your cats start actin up while stayin wit yo frinnn
Steven • 8:01 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
I guess one upside to option 1 is that if you fall asleep when you're supposed to be doing something with your friend, I can pour water on you.
Quintin • 8:03 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Unless I'm stranded in Tacoma after work with no home.
Quintin • 8:04 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Can as in have the ability, won't as in you know better. Haha
Steven • 8:05 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Though, technically, the place is mine until midnight on the 1st, so I could stay here with just a mattress and a litter box.
Quintin • 8:06 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
I won't strand you, if I'm not able to get there, which may be the case. The buses can get you here or to some place close then I can get you from the park and ride or what have you.
Steven • 8:06 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Yah. Ummmmm............no
Steven • 8:06 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
I think staying a couple nights or whatever at my place will be just fine
Steven • 8:07 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
So, I'm definitely giving notice on the 11th then.
Quintin • 8:08 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
I can even try and get those as my days off that week. Its July to Aug, or Aug to Sept. It Aug to Sept right?
Steven • 8:08 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
I should do it on the 10th just to be safe, but I don't have the money to pay for the certified mail.
Quintin • 8:08 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
No. I take off the afternoons of July 19 and July 26 so that I have 2 long weekends to get stuff moved and cleaned
Quintin • 8:10 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Then move into the new apartment Aug 1.
Quintin • 8:10 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Ok. So I'll ask Frank to swap me with someone that week so I have wed 31 and Thur 1 off. And that way I can be here with the boys. Cuz we can move most of your stuff to storage and leave the bed, cpu and ,I have a lil table you can use, a few essentials and then the litter box. So that way on the 31, we can move what's left in my car and lessen the strain and stress on the cats, all 4. It mainly Bob and eeeeeaahhhhghoo I'm worried about, moory and Harry will be fast cuddle buddies, Bob won't worry about him, E ah go however..........
Steven • 8:15 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
I know. But he's my baby. I love his snobby ass.
Quintin • 8:16 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
So I'll stay with him on a blanket if I need to.
Quintin • 8:16 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
So I don't need to take time off on the 19th I guess
Quintin • 8:17 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
I feel you. Same with Bob. He has been being a shit. I swatted him today
Steven • 8:17 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
We can move stuff to storage whenever you want to do it.
Steven • 8:17 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
I understand. After payday
Steven • 8:18 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Is he who you were fighting with?
Quintin • 8:18 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
He who? What?
Steven • 8:18 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Yeah. I can't do anything until after I get paid. I have $1.96 to my name
Quintin • 8:18 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Bob
Quintin • 8:18 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Haha, ya. He'd kick my ass
Steven • 8:19 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
#TeamBob
Quintin • 8:19 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
You sent a video.
Quintin • 8:22 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
I have GOT to go to the grocery store tomorrow or I'm going to fall out at my standing desk.
Quintin • 9:01 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Oh, did you get my email?
Quintin • 9:12 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Is that a good trade? My writing for yours? I don't care how blunt you are. It's your truth that I'm after, and some of the best truth is blunt.
Quintin • 9:13 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Ok. Rory's Dr appt is at 9 in Seattle then I'm taking him home and I will come get you and take you to the grocery store
Steven • 9:21 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
I can go on my own. I don't need a ride up to Thriftway now that it stopped raining.
Quintin • 9:22 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
But I won't say no to hanging out.
Quintin • 9:25 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
And don't think I didn't notice how you skipped over my question. 😏
Quintin • 9:26 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Chicken shit
Quintin • 9:26 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
I even checked out your blog
Steven • 9:28 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
And? Are you totally creeped out?
Quintin • 9:28 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
And does that win me the right to read yours?
Quintin • 9:29 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
No not creeped out, and nope
Steven • 9:45 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
BOO!!!
Quintin • 9:46 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
That's just rude.
Quintin • 9:46 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
😒
Quintin • 9:46 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
The difference is, I won't let anyone else either. Yours is posted for all
Steven • 9:50 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
And yet for none.
Quintin • 9:50 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Well, now 1
Quintin • 9:50 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Literally zero visits in 5 years.
Quintin • 9:51 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Wait, are you angry about what I wrote?
Quintin • 9:53 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Offended? Upset? Amused?
Quintin • 9:53 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Sorry, I know you're having to be sneaky to talk to me. I'll leave you alone.
Quintin • 9:59 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
But eventually, you need to fix this. I don't want to be hated for something I'm not even doing.
Quintin • 10:00 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
I don't hate you for everything. I'm not upset or anything. You're entitled to feel the way you feel and I didn't want to say, but I didn't read all of it. I just went and looked.
Steven • 10:33 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Oh, okay
Quintin • 10:34 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
So, at least you saw that it's very stylishly published.
Quintin • 10:35 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Of course not expect nothing less from the house of ho. Voice chat. I repeat. HAUS OVE HAUX
Steven • 10:43 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Oh yes, the person who bought a Former Twink tank top returned it. ☹️
Quintin • 10:44 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
So, tomorrow night? Making up for yesterday? Or will you be too tired?
Quintin • 10:45 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
That's sad I'm sorry.
Steven • 11:26 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
And about tomorrow I'll be good I think
Steven • 11:27 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
I swear, if I pin my hopes on hanging out and you pull that sleeping shit again, Steven! I will hate you forever and ever.
Quintin • 11:28 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
And EVER!
Quintin • 11:30 PM, Mon Jul 8, 2019
Ignore the request I just sent if it puts you in a bind at all. I can wait until after work to go buy something with EBT.
Quintin • 6:08 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I don't have it. Literally I don't
Steven • 6:09 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Thanks anyway. No worries! I'll buy us some dinner tonight.
Quintin • 6:10 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Ok
Steven • 6:10 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Sorry, boo.
Quintin • 6:10 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
We can have steaks! And potatoes! And ice cream!!
Quintin • 6:13 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
But since I'm buying us dinner, can I read your writings??
Quintin • 6:18 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
You sent a picture.
Quintin • 6:19 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
You sent a picture.
Quintin • 6:25 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Getting ready for work.
Quintin • 6:25 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
You sent a picture.
Quintin • 6:25 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I may not be able to take Rory home today. My insurance went out of my account and now I'm overdrawn
Steven • 6:28 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Oh.
Quintin • 6:28 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Shit.
Quintin • 6:29 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I have $3.00 in the bank, $1.96 in CashApp, and I just counted $15 in quarters. You're welcome to all of it if it helps
Quintin • 6:30 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
But it'd cost you half of that to come get it. 😟
Quintin • 6:31 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
How are you going to work tomorrow?
Quintin • 6:31 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I'll figure it out
Steven • 6:31 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Let me at least send you what's in my accounts.
Quintin • 6:32 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
No, that's okay. I will figure it out. But like I said I may not be able to take Rory home today. Ergo he may still be here this evening
Steven • 6:33 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Sorry. Too late.
Quintin • 6:34 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I got that. So I won't see you.
Quintin • 6:35 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Great.
Quintin • 6:35 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I'll just plan on going to the store after work and spending another night here. Alone. With no one to talk to. Nowhere to go. (sigh)
Quintin • 6:37 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
So jealous. Lucky-------
Steven • 6:53 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Oh, fuck YOU! You know what, I'm going to find a way to fill up your tank so you can take home your ex, and then you can have all the nights alone you want, dick.
Quintin • 6:55 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
🥺
Quintin • 6:55 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
🙏thank you
Steven • 6:56 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Haha jokes
Steven • 6:56 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Don't worry about it. I'll figure it out
Steven • 6:57 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I will worry about it, that's what I do.
Quintin • 6:58 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
You don't seem to grasp that I care about you, even though you're a mean jerk.
Quintin • 6:58 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Ergo this ongoing awkwardness betwixt us, if only from my perspective.
Quintin • 6:59 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I care about you too, I really hope you know that.
Steven • 9:29 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Yes, I do
Quintin • 9:43 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Most of the time. There are times when the Hate Monster gets ahold of my ear and uses my insecurities against me, and in those cases I'm convinced that you don't really give a shit. But mostly I think you do. 😉
Quintin • 9:50 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Also, question - how are you on T?
Steven • 10:12 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I'm low, but probably have enough to get by until I get paid.
Quintin • 10:12 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
You out?
Quintin • 10:13 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
No, that's why I asked, if you were out I was going to say I'll swing by and give you some this evening.
Steven • 10:14 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I thought about it after you dropped me off last time, and kicked myself for forgetting to refill your bag again. I'm sorry.
Quintin • 10:14 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
No, I'm not out yet. Been rationing it. I think I have a little over a gram and a half?
Quintin • 10:15 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Cool. Maybe I'll still swing by later.
Steven • 10:16 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I have sent out some requests to a couple of people asking to borrow some money until payday, so if they get back to me and say yes, I should be able to send you $40 or so for gas.
Quintin • 10:17 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
No worries I borrowed from Frank.
Steven • 10:18 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I'm bummed that you aren't able to take Rory home. I know it's petty, but it is what it is.
Quintin • 10:18 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I know
Steven • 10:19 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Kinda the same feeling here
Steven • 10:19 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
If I do get you some gas money, is it still possible? Or is it pretty much decided that he's staying tonight?
Quintin • 10:23 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I'm guessing he didn't make it to the appointment.
Quintin • 10:23 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
He's still in the doctor's office right now. I haven't talked to him yet because I already have some gas money. Don also offered to let me use his car
Steven • 10:25 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Ah.
Quintin • 10:25 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
but honestly I think he really doesn't like it at his sister's house, so I think he wants to stay one more night, and we're actually getting along now that we got the big fight out of the way. It's like we start fighting immediately and fuck for like 2 hours especially the whole drive down to my house and then after that we've been getting along just fine.
Steven • 10:25 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
But I am going to talk to him about going out tonight cuz I have stuff planned - hanging out with you. Plus the plan tomorrow afternoon that I'm going to have to cancel cuz I'll be driving.
Steven • 10:26 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I think I understood most of that. And for future reference, I REALLY don't want to hear about you fucking him. Ouch...
Quintin • 10:27 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Yeah that's not going to happen
Steven • 10:28 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Oh, I thought that's what you just said.
Quintin • 10:28 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Nevermind, I want that image out of my brain
Quintin • 10:28 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
So, he may have cancer.
Steven • 11:35 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
😲
Quintin • 11:35 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
When will they know for sure??
Quintin • 11:36 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Not sure
Steven • 11:43 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
But it's a tumor
Steven • 11:44 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Fuck. I'm sorry to hear that.
Quintin • 11:44 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
He just can't catch a break.
Quintin • 11:44 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
So needless to say, I'm not going to rush him out now..
Steven • 11:46 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Of course.
Quintin • 11:46 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I get it.
Quintin • 11:46 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Do what you need to do.
Quintin • 11:46 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
This is scary
Steven • 11:47 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I can imagine.
Quintin • 11:47 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Well, in related news, my friend, Andru, just sent me the $40 I asked for to help you get Rory home, so I'm officially an asshole who's going to burn in the hottest part of hell.
Quintin • 11:50 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
No more than I am
Steven • 11:57 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Maybe if we're lucky they'll assign us to adjoining cells.
Quintin • 11:58 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I'm sorry this is happening, Steven. For him and for you.
Quintin • 11:59 AM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
It goes without saying, but if there's anything you need that's within my power to give, consider it done. All you have to do is ask.
Quintin • 12:00 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Thank you
Steven • 12:04 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Can I have like $13 so that way I can pay for parking cuz I am now broke again at the money I've already off of Frank between fixing my negative in my account and going on parking for an hour and putting a couple bucks in my tank is gone
Steven • 12:09 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
He's being admitted to the hospital right now
Steven • 12:10 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Of course. He sent it to me on Venmo. Let me see if I can switch it over.
Quintin • 12:10 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Oh shit!
Quintin • 12:10 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Do you have Venmo?
Quintin • 12:11 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I think so. lemme check
Steven • 12:12 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I'm not sure if there is a delay in getting it into my bank and then into CashApp
Quintin • 12:12 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I have venmo,
Steven • 12:15 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Ok, good. Because I'm over in my account, and it won't let me transfer it to CashApp
Quintin • 12:16 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
My Venmo name is Quintin-Quintin.
Quintin • 12:17 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Send me a request, or give me your username
Quintin • 12:17 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I'll send you $20 for now, and the rest if you need it.
Quintin • 12:18 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
so for some reason the venmo app won't let me log in at all or sign up for a new password or anything like that so I can't use venmo. No worries
Steven • 12:24 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Hmm. Let me see if I can transfer the money to another prepaid card just to move it around
Quintin • 12:25 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Don't stress, I had enough to park for 90 min
Steven • 12:28 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Ok. I have to get back to the office for a meeting, but I'll keep looking for a way to transfer it to you.
Quintin • 12:31 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Thank you
Steven • 12:38 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I got some more $$. Don't stress. Keep that $40. Buy some beers or something. I could use a beer right now.
Steven • 2:25 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Are you sure? What's your plan for tonight now?
Quintin • 2:42 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Not sure yet
Steven • 2:47 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Depends on if he gets admitted overnight or not I suppose
Steven • 2:47 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Deanna's mom was released today however
Steven • 2:48 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Oh, good!
Quintin • 2:48 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
She okay?
Quintin • 2:48 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I'm starting to feel like maybe I should look into getting hospitalized, too, so you can just make the rounds and see everyone in one place.
Quintin • 2:49 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Has to use a walker now and pt at home for a few months
Steven • 2:50 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Poor thing. Has he been released?
Quintin • 2:51 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
He is still being x-rayed and CT and ultrasounded
Steven • 2:53 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I had to run to go pick up the money I borrowed from a friend and now I'm on my way back
Steven • 2:53 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Oh, no. I meant Deanna's abusive husband.
Quintin • 2:53 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Is he still locked up?
Quintin • 2:53 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Not married, and yes still in jail
Steven • 2:54 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I'm sorry I couldn't get the money to you easily. I hate that you're having to borrow from other people.
Quintin • 2:54 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Good and good.
Quintin • 2:54 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
No worries
Steven • 2:55 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I'm still looking for a way to move it that doesn't require 1-3 business days to clear.
Quintin • 2:55 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
IDK
Steven • 3:04 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
He wasn't actually admitted
Steven • 3:18 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I'm heading home with him now he was out front
Steven • 3:19 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
So I'll come down to take you to the grocery store around like 7 ish
Steven • 4:01 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Okay, sounds good
Quintin • 4:02 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Thank you. Drive safely.
Quintin • 4:03 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Send over a copy of your resume and I will get to work on it
Quintin • 5:24 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I can't get it to send, be probably be easier to type one at your place
Steven • 6:04 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Ok.
Quintin • 6:04 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
That's fine
Quintin • 6:04 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Still aiming for around 7:00?
Quintin • 6:10 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Leaving my house right now but I do have to stop at the gas station
Steven • 6:29 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Okay
Quintin • 6:29 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
So I totally just cracked my radiator
Steven • 6:44 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Fuck!
Quintin • 6:44 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Are you okay?
Quintin • 6:45 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Seems to be doing okay I'm like already almost over halfway to your house
Steven • 6:45 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Call me.
Quintin • 6:45 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
You received a picture.
Steven • 6:57 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
This is where my car decided to die on me
Steven • 6:57 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Dead dead?
Quintin • 7:06 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Fuck shit fuck!
Quintin • 7:07 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I am so so sorry, Steven. If you hadn't felt guilted into coming here, this wouldn't have happened.
Quintin • 7:10 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I'm going to walk to your house
Steven • 7:10 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I I'm going to see if I can send you a Lyft. Where exactly are you?
Quintin • 7:11 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
??
Quintin • 7:17 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I'm coming to get you
Quintin • 7:18 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
But I need to know where to go
Quintin • 7:18 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
It's cool I'll walk to your place then we can worry about whatever
Steven • 7:18 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Steven
Quintin • 7:18 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I'm hot-wiring a car right now.
Quintin • 7:19 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
So tell me where to point it
Quintin • 7:19 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Before I get busted
Quintin • 7:19 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I'm walking to your house. My cousin Dustin is on his way there will be shortly
Steven • 7:23 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
I'm out front
Steven • 7:39 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
You sent a picture.

You have to fill out this form and then schedule a time to meet an officer at the car. https://cms.cityoftacoma.org/NCS/CSD/Compliance/RoadUse/JunkVehicleVerification.pdf
Quintin • 8:46:19 PM, Tue Jul 09, 2019
Alternatively, if you want to get a tax deduction for it, you can call Heritage for the Blind, and they will tow it away free and give you a charitable donation receipt.

Quintin • 8:48:18 PM, Tue Jul 09, 2019
Home now
Steven • 9:24:45 PM, Tue Jul 09, 2019
Ok.
Quintin • 9:25:44 PM, Tue Jul 09, 2019
Glad you made it.
Quintin • 9:25:51 PM, Tue Jul 09, 2019
😁
Steven • 9:26:27 PM, Tue Jul 09, 2019
I'm sad, but glad through the sad. I guess.
Quintin • 9:26:28 PM, Tue Jul 09, 2019
Nah. I'm just sad.
Quintin • 9:26:48 PM, Tue Jul 09, 2019
I recommend looking into the Heritage for the Blind donation thing.
Quintin • 9:28:35 PM, Tue Jul 09, 2019
You can get tax credit that will come in handy in the spring.
Quintin • 9:28:51 PM, Tue Jul 09, 2019
I called and left a message already
Steven • 9:28:58 PM, Tue Jul 09,2019
good. cool.
Quintin • 9:29:04 PM, Tue Jul 09, 2019
I hear a commercial for them every single morning when Alexa reads me the news.
Quintin • 9:29:19 PM, Tue Jul 09, 2019
Do you have an old car, truck, or boat you want rid of? Donate it to Heritage for the Blind and it will be towed away free, and your donation is tax deductible! That's Heritage for the Blind."
Quintin • 9:30:41 PM, Tue Jul 09, 2019
Ok. I'll leave you be. Let me know if there's anything I can help with. Quintin out.
Quintin • 9:31:11 PM, Tue Jul 09, 2019
Quintin • 9:32:40 PM, Tue Jul 09, 2019

Quintin • 9:33:17 PM, Tue Jul 09, 2019
Hey do you remember your Netflix password?
Steven • 10:55:45 PM, Tue Jul 09, 2019
I somehow logged out and I can't log back in

Quintin • 11:58 PM, Tue Jul 9, 2019
Guess so. You're welcome. Good night.
Quintin • 12:28 AM, Wed Jul 10, 2019
You should be heading to the bus. Are you?

Quintin • 7:47:12 AM, Wed Jul 10, 2019
It's spooky just how closely Bitmoji can replicate my resting sad face.
Quintin • 7:47:51 AM, Wed Jul 10, 2019
My bitmoji doesn't work anymore due to lack of memory
Steven • 7:48:25 AM, Wed Jul 10, 2019
Quintin • 7:49:34 AM, Wed Jul 10, 2019
We'll get through this together.
Quintin • 7:49:54 AM, Wed Jul 10, 2019
Holler at me later if you want. I'm heading into the office.
Quintin • 7:51:10 AM, Wed Jul 10, 2019
Holla
Steven • 8:00:50 AM, Wed Jul 10, 2019

Haha, jokes
Steven • 8:04:08 AM, Wed Jul 10, 2019
What does your schedule look like between now and Sunday?
Quintin • 8:42:23 AM, Wed Jul 10, 2019
All days?
Quintin • 8:42:28 AM, Wed Jul 10, 2019
All days
Steven • 8:45:14 AM, Wed Jul 10, 2019
Good. At least you don't have to worry about how late the bus runs
Quintin • 10:13:54 AM, Wed Jul 10, 2019
It is cancer
Steven • 11:28:16 AM, Wed Jul 10, 2019
Fuck!
Quintin • 11:28:31 AM, Wed Jul 10, 2019
What's next? Surgery or radiation?
Quintin • 11:28:54 AM, Wed Jul 10, 2019
Surgery
Steven • 11:29:05 AM, Wed Jul 10, 2019
Probably this week
Steven • 11:29:15 AM, Wed Jul 10, 2019
Poor guy
Quintin • 11:29:19 AM, Wed Jul 10, 2019
I'm sorry to hear that news.
Quintin • 11:29:37 AM, Wed Jul 10, 2019
Did Heritage ever call you back?
Quintin • July 10, 2019 - 12:49 PM
??
Quintin • July 10, 2019 - 7:20 PM
Alrighty then. None of my beezwax. Hope your day was ok.
Quintin • July 10, 2019 - 8:05 PM
It was alright. The bus in just as uncomfortable as I remember
Steven • July 10, 2019 - 9:41 PM
No they never called me back. I'll call them again tomorrow.
Steven • July 10, 2019 - 9:42 PM
Sorry to hear that. Glad you're home safe. I know you must be tired, and that you have personal stuff to deal with w/ Rory, so I won't bug you. Thanks for texting me back, though. I was beginning to think you had forgotten your good pal, Quintin.
Quintin • July 10, 2019 - 9:49 PM
Nevah
Steven • July 10, 2019 - 9:52 PM
Haha. No got home about 7, and yes dozed off on the couch for a bit
Steven • July 10, 2019 - 9:52 PM
Any word about a date for surgery?
Quintin • July 10, 2019 - 9:53 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 10, 2019 - 10:00 PM
Well, there went my notice. It's official!
Quintin • July 10, 2019 - 10:00 PM
Ok. Well, good night, Steven. Talk to you another time.
Quintin • July 10, 2019 - 10:36 PM
Mushroom tea
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 1:51 AM
You received a picture.
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 1:51 AM
Sorry, buddy.
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 1:51 AM
😞
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 6:46 AM
Don't worry, buddy. I didn't have fun.
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 6:56 AM
And I want to trip with you
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 6:56 AM
Oh, stop. I want you to have fun, dummy. I'm just jealous. I miss you.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 6:57 AM
I may be buying a car tomorrow.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 6:57 AM
Wha wha what?!?
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 7:03 AM
Skrrrrch! Excurrrrrch me?
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 7:03 AM
Wait tap the brakes
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 7:04 AM
Pull over
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 7:04 AM
I'm tired of being stranded and at the mercy of others or the transit system when I want to go somewhere.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:04 AM
So, I'm thinking of going to CarMax and buying a car.
Quintin • July11, 2019 - 7:04 AM
I'm out, can't think of any more car puns
Steven • July 11, 2019 -7:05 AM
I heard they're good
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 7:05 AM
I've bought from them before.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:05 AM
In Austin.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:05 AM
Twice, actually.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:06 AM
A Ford Contour and then a Mustang.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:06 AM
There is a Nissan Rogue like I drove to Yakima that I have my eye on.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:07 AM
If I do, I'm thinking I can loan it to you.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:08 AM
At least part time.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:08 AM
But at the very least, I'm sending you the deposit for your own rental tonight.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:09 AM
On one condition:
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:13 AM
You have to get caught up on all the Snaps I have sent you since June 23.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:14 AM

Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:32 AM
What was the wow for?
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:32 AM
I can set something up for tomorrow with Jose if you'd like
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 7:33 AM
Quint-ana. (Rhiana)
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 7:33 AM
Yes. I have to go up after work to buy G from his ex-husband.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:33 AM
I'm going to try to leave early and take the Sounder..
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:34 AM
Maybe we can meet up at Capitol Hill.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:34 AM
I have some G you can have.
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 7:34 AM
When you get off work.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:34 AM
I told Antoine to hold onto 2 oz for me.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:35 AM
I'm actually meeting Rory at his Dr. after work.
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 7:35 AM
He is going back to his sister's tomorrow.
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 7:35 AM
I'm sorry Quint.
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 7:36 AM
Fuck.

Quintberry
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 7:36 AM
Ok.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:36 AM
I feel so out of sorts not having spent any time with you this week. I don't like it. Nope. Not one bit.

It's gone
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:41 AM
You delete it
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:41 AM
Not smart my friend, I deleted it
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 7:41 AM
I don't know what picture you mean.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:42 AM
Sorry
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 7:42 AM
Maybe I'm being paranoid, but yah.
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 7:42 AM
Ok. Well, bye. Sorry.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:42 AM
Didn't mean to sound like a bitch.
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 7:42 AM
Gotcha. I'm sure you didn't.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:42 AM
Have a great day.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:42 AM
Am I ever going to see you again?
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:42 AM
Duh
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 7:44 AM
When??? It's been like a month already.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:44 AM
You my quintiest friend, hello. (Said as Cher from clueless when she is talking about her dad's party instead of Haiti)
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 7:45 AM
6 months I think
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 7:45 AM
You received a picture.
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 7:46 AM
I miss you. 😕
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:46 AM
You received a video.
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 7:46 AM
I know those glasses!
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:47 AM
Muahahahahahahahahahaha
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 7:47 AM
So, when I get back from Seattle tomorrow night, can we hang? Or are you staying up there overnight?
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:48 AM
How are you taking him home?
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:48 AM
Do you have enough money for bus fare to and from work?
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:50 AM
Yah, I worked yesterday
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 7:50 AM
Sorry. I have all the questions this morning.

Alright. I guess I'll get those answers....later?
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 8:12 AM
His sister is meeting him on Friday.
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 8:46 AM
In Seattle for his radiology appointment and pre-op
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 9:00 AM
Oh, okay
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 9:07 AM
You received a picture.
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 9:15 AM
You received a picture.
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 9:23 AM
I want to get this
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 9:23 AM
Wow. You appear to be backed up on your Scruff messaging.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 9:28 AM
😞
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 9:28 AM
So I need to pay my mushroom guy this weekend at least half of what I owe. If I don't come up with the total, will you help me out? I'll get you next Friday. If I do need you to it should only be like a bill, maybe a bill + ½.
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 9:47 AM
Sure
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 10:16 AM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 10:18 AM
$750 for deposit on the apartment, $250 going to you for the Lyft deposit, $80 to Antoine tomorrow, $200 to Jose, $125 for phone bill... I ain't getting a car just yet. 😒
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 10:21 AM
No worries. I can figure this out or maybe it's not meant to be.
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 10:36 AM
Get your car boo boo, then you can choufore me around
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 10:36 AM
That going to have to wait, Lyft that is
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 10:47 AM
Probably not until I get paid
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 10:47 AM
Hence the scooter
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 10:47 AM
Why does the Lyft have to wait?
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 11:54 AM
(Sorry! Meetings.)
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 11:55 AM
I'd be happy to chauffeur you around! As long as you do all the parallel parking.😁
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 12:01 PM
I'm sending you $250 for the Lyft Deposit, $150 for Spokane, and $200 for Jose tonight. Should be around 6:00 or 7:00.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 3:33 PM
No no no! As much as I want all that, make sure you're good first!
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 3:33 PM
I have a vested interest in getting you mobile again! I want to be able to spend time with you!!
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 3:34 PM
I understand that. I just don't want you to spread yourself out too much and not be able to make it through
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 3:35 PM
I hear that. And I appreciate your concern. I won't put myself in too much of a bind by helping you up from these recent setbacks. We help each other out when we need to, right? Right.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 3:38 PM
Indeed
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 3:38 PM
And we also both try to stop each other from doing so, haha
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 3:39 PM
You make a valid point.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 3:39 PM
Part of the dance, I suppose. Hahaha
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 3:40 PM
Just know that when you have helped me out, it's been sincerely appreciated. And I know the same is true both ways.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 3:41 PM
Indeed
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 3:50 PM
I don't take it for granted
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 3:50 PM
Never suspected you would!
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 4:56 PM
So, I'm guessing that you are bound to home again tonight, since you still have company. Right?
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 5:04 PM
No. If I want I can go wherever.
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 5:42 PM
Ah. You do what you want! We don't know you!
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 5:43 PM
I'm at McD's on 3rd and Pine atm. About to get on the 179 to fw
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 5:43 PM
I see.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 5:43 PM
Well, if you WANT, you feel free to visit.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 5:44 PM
Or if you hang around up there for a bit, you could meet up with Jose when my check hits.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 5:44 PM
Either way, think of me fondly.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 5:45 PM
We are heading to Fed Way in a couple minutes.
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 5:49 PM
Ok. Have a safe trip and a good night.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 5:50 PM
I'm going to take him to the apartment and come over.
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 5:50 PM
Yay!
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 5:50 PM
I'll bring G, and also I can bring a ball, not possibly a quarter
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 5:51 PM
"Or", not "not".
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 5:51 PM
"Or possibly a quarter."
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 5:51 PM
Ok
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 5:52 PM
Then I'll buy your ball(s).
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 5:52 PM
If they're for sale, of course.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 5:52 PM
I wouldn't chase after balls that are spoken for.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 5:53 PM
Or balls that want only to be wild and free.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 5:53 PM
I still have to buy G from Antoine tomorrow. I made him hold some when he could have sold it.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 5:55 PM
Haha
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 6:12 PM
It's not through Jose so it's $80 a ball and $150 for the quarter.
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 6:13 PM
We're talking about the stuff your dear Don gave you, yes?
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 6:14 PM
I mean, it doesn't matter to me.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 6:14 PM
I'll pay you whatever
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 6:14 PM
At least I know it's going to a good cause.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 6:15 PM
No, if it was that, I'd give you a ball
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 6:18 PM
It's neither here nor there. You have what you have, and you're not going to be anywhere near Jose by the time my check hits at 7:00, so that's that.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 6:19 PM
Wait. Tell you what. I'll bring what I have, split it, and then tomorrow or whenever, I'll connect with Jose and get you the better deal.
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 6:21 PM
No, I don't want you to be running all over the place for me.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 6:21 PM
I'll buy some of what you have so you can make money on it.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 6:22 PM
You never said why the Lyft thing had to wait?
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 6:55 PM
Sent, BTW
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 6:55 PM
I'm at Stir, so holla when you're nearby.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:34 PM
K. Just got to the apartment. Taking a quick shower then on my way
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 7:35 PM
Ok
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:35 PM
Do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT FALL ASLEEP!!!
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 7:35 PM
So I'm going to Lyft over
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 8:10 PM
You want me to send you one?
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 8:10 PM
I have 10% off rides right now
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 8:12 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 8:14 PM
Yes?
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 8:14 PM
No?
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 8:14 PM
Fuck you, Quint?
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 8:14 PM
Sure sorry, was getting ready. Yah. Gimme 10 min
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 8:18 PM
Say when, and I'll pull the trigger.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 8:18 PM
When
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 8:23 PM
I'm on my way. See where my Lyft ride is: https://www.lyft.com/sr/1291058115079123892?token=eBB4WpJO_xYkDlm7z7hhrg%3D%3D

Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 8:26 PM
The pick up spot looks a little off. I think he's going down to the dumpster
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 8:27 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 8:27 PM
Pulling into the parking lot now
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 8:30 PM
You see him?
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 8:31 PM
Not yet
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 8:31 PM
He drove right past your Apt
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 8:32 PM
Down towards the dumpster
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 8:32 PM
Yah I'm in the car
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 8:32 PM
Black SUV
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 8:32 PM
Ok
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 8:32 PM
Is your car still there?
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 8:49 PM
Almost there.
Steven • July 11, 2019 - 8:52 PM
Meet you at the door.
Quintin • July 11, 2019 - 8:52 PM
Thanks for being so understanding of my whole.... Whatever you want to call it.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 12:18 AM
Of course
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 12:29 AM
In case you didn't notice, what I was hoping for was an invitation from you to come over tomorrow
night. But then when you said that you might have plans and you might not, that if came by then I came by, I
didn't know if you were intentionally being noncommittal or if you really just didn't realize how badly I wanted
to be invited without having to ask or pull one out of you. I imagine you probably want to have a night or two
to yourself after this week, and I can't say that I blame you. If you would rather just do a couple of hours at
Pride or not even, it's fine.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 1:47 AM
Well, not fine. I mean, I'll still miss hanging with you. But understandable, I guess is the right word.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 1:48 AM
So, I guess tell me how you want to coordinate the meet up with Antoine this afternoon, and I'll arrange it.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:46 AM
Did you make it to the bus on time?
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 8:52 AM
Yah, almost to work
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 8:55 AM
Ok.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 8:56 AM
Thanks for saving me a trip up there.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 8:56 AM
Of course. It just seemed silly for you to waste all that time to come up when I'm here and coming back that way anyway.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 8:59 AM
I guess we can figure out how to get it to me later, or maybe if you just want to hold onto it until you have to come over for Pride.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 9:02 AM
Unless you want me to come get it in Federal Way. I could do that tonight. Or wait. Either way.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 9:08 AM
Let me see if I got this right. I go and get rid of all the hookup apps nearly a month ago, suddenly there's an influx of fucking HOT tops all a-fuckin' round me, and you keep me in the dark about all the new dick in the area that could have been keeping my ass so busy there wasn't time to feel all hurt and unwanted? And you call yourself my friend. Humph!
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 1:04 PM
I just went on Sniffies out of sheer desperation to see how low I should prepare myself to sink to get off, and imagine my surprise to learn it's a big dick buffet in every direction.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 1:05 PM
Will they all flee now that the Unfuckable Hulk has popped up again on the map? Probably. But, dammit, I deserved a chance to drown my sorrows in their frantic escape!
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 1:08 PM
(I'm kidding, of course. Well, about blaming you for holding out on me. Trying to force this cloud off of me with a little levity, but maybe I'm missing the mark.)
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 1:26 PM
Oh! Money!!! So, he's got 2 bottles, 4 Cialis, and a bonus bag o' Molly for me. It's $100 all together. Want me to send it to you or to him?
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 5:10 PM
To him is fine.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 5:12 PM
What do you mean?
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 5:13 PM
I don't understand what you mean.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 5:13 PM
You didn't read the part above that?
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 5:14 PM
That's from way earlier.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 5:14 PM
"Let me see if I got this right. I go and get rid of all the hookup apps nearly a month ago, suddenly there's an influx of fucking HOT tops all a-fuckin' round me, and you keep me in the dark about all the new dick in the area that could have been keeping my ass so busy there wasn't time to feel all hurt and unwanted? And you call yourself my friend. Humph!"
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 5:14 PM
I did, but still missed it. I guess I'm a d'de da dee
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 5:14 PM
Ahh. Ok. I did know
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 5:15 PM
I was jokingly accusing you of knowingly keeping secrets the fact that there are suddenly a dozen new tops in the area on Sniffies since I dropped all the apps.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 5:16 PM
You did?!?!
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 5:16 PM
You fucker.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 5:16 PM
I could have been trying to make some of them make me feel wanted instead of being a big sad baby all these weeks.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 5:17 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 6:07 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 6:07 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 6:07 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 6:08 PM
Hey now
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 6:12 PM
What
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 6:13 PM
Soooo, Frank? Or bus?
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:03 PM
Bus. Just got on 578. It's a nice bus Greyhound status
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:03 PM
They have a few of those in circulation now. There are a couple on the 590/594 route, too
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:04 PM
Plugins?
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:05 PM
Cuz if so, charge your phone, Rose
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:05 PM
Should I bring food to cook us din din?
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:07 PM
Sooo, how would you react if I asked you to top someone with me? Just asking how you think you'd react so I'll know whether or not to actually ask you.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:08 PM
Haha, I'm an ass.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:08 PM
Fuck, sorry. Forget I sent that.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:08 PM
Ok. I'm staying home. Have fun.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:09 PM
Thinking with my foot again.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:09 PM
No, come over
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:09 PM
Nope.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:09 PM
I'd rather be hanging and what not with you.
Steven • July 12, 2019 -7:09 PM
Enjoy the ass. You've earned it.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:09 PM
I'll come there instead then.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:09 PM
Nah. It's cool.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:10 PM
Get you some.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:10 PM
I'm feeling a little pukish.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:11 PM
See you when I get there.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:11 PM
Steven, if I see you now, all I'll be able to do is think about how you would rather be fucking some other dude, and to be quite honest, my heart cannot take that right now. So maybe go ahead and use the G and the boner pills that you got for me, because they're just going to go to waste with me. Go fuck him.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:13 PM
Okay first off; I have my own dick pills. Second, I wouldn't do your G; I have G. And c, I have already cancelled with him. I was just wondering, since I know you're Mister Versatile now, if you didn't want to come over and play around like the conversation we had last night, where I bring you out of your shell just a bit. It's just a question. I didn't even ask it! "How you would react if..." I asked you. I'm glad I didn't actually ask you, because obviously you would have been upset. Stop.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:16 PM
I didn't say stop.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:17 PM
It heard someone else on the bus. Haha
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:18 PM
Don't
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:18 PM
Didnt
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:18 PM
My phone\fingers aren't typing right.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:18 PM
And if I'd said yes? If I'd felt like it was the only way I could get back into that lane of traffic, so I just sucked it up again and endured as much of it as I could to be intimate with you? Would you have officially asked?
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:19 PM
Possibly. Maybe it was all a rooose (rouse} like when you set a trap that only you know has been tripped.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:21 PM
It wasn't.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:21 PM
Good to know. It looks like we both learned something valuable here about the other.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:22 PM
And I don't know, probably would depend on your wording, i.e. the way in which I'd have interpreted what you said and assumed what tone it was meant in....
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:22 PM
And that is?...
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:23 PM
Did I make myself look even more like a horrible person?
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:23 PM
Sometimes I don't notice when my horrible is showing.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:23 PM
You learned that asking me to help you fuck some other guy the day after I cried on your chest from feeling like I'd lost all hope of a continued sexual intimacy with you would result in my being hurt to the core,
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:25 PM
And I learned that there is no scenario in which you aren't looking to put your dick into anyone but me, even one in which I fought back tears in order to help you do it.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:26 PM
I'm a pretty masochistic, self-loathing piece of crybaby, but damn... Ouch.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:28 PM
Actually I would say that you learned that I still like being intimate with you, and that I like to include you in the things I do, and that by having another person there, it would keep it away from, at least in my head, that place that scares me.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:28 PM
I see.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:29 PM
Fine.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:29 PM
What time should my dick and I be ready? Let's do this.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:29 PM
So, now that I fucked up your night and psychee, I'll bring you your stuff. I'll get a ride over and drop it off to you.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:29 PM
Oh???
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:29 PM
I already cancelled with him.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:30 PM
I already ordered groceries to bring over and cook us dinner.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:30 PM
Ok. I'll see…
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:32 PM
Here's the thing, though (and I intend to have this discussion with you tonight face to face), I gave you EVERY opportunity MULTIPLE times throughout the day to cancel with me and go get your dick wet in some other dude.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:33 PM
WHY didn't you just take that opportunity?
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:33 PM
NO, I don't want you to call that fuckin' dude!
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:34 PM
Because also based on the conversation we had last night I was telling you how, like, it was with a lot of my friends I have brought them out of their shells this way.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:35 PM
It kills me that you're so afraid of being alone with just me.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:35 PM
You and I had different conversations. Maybe I have trouble hearing through tears.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:36 PM
I'm sorry if I led you to believe that I was ready to start tag teaming random bottoms with you.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:36 PM
I'm gonna suck this up and forget it because I want to hang out with you without being a fragile, teary eyed little bitch. So, can we pretend that it didn't happen?
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:39 PM
I'm sorry.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:39 PM
For what?
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:40 PM
Everything.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:40 PM
I don't know what you're talking about.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:40 PM
For all the times I have made you feel any kind of bad. And that I haven't been any kind of a good friend to you.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:41 PM
What do you feel like for dinner?
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:41 PM
Not hungry
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:41 PM
Ok.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:41 PM
I think I'm going home and passing out.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:42 PM
Now *that* is going to hurt my fucking feelings.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:42 PM
God damn it, why didn't I just play along like my gut told me to so you would be happy?
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:43 PM
Fuck
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:43 PM
I just don't know what I'm supposed to do. I made plans with him, then cancelled, and now reinvited.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:43 PM
I'm sorry
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:43 PM
I honestly thought you were clear on my sarcasm.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:43 PM
I'll do it, Steven
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:44 PM
To avoid you having to lose points with this guy.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:44 PM
Ok ok ok. No one is sorry. Both are sorry. I'm too insensitive. You are actually sensitive. And....Life sux.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:44 PM
Fuck him. And not like "fuck" but like "who cares?". Don, however, also wants to come. You and him would get along, maybe.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:45 PM
But now, if I don't come over, I'm going to want to die thinking about you fucking him and telling me to stay home.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:45 PM
What time do you want me there?
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:46 PM
I'm not telling you to do anything.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:46 PM
But don't do something against your own feelings.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:46 PM
Or if you really don't want me to come tonight, I'll respect that.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:46 PM
And also, there is a chance regardless of who is there that Frank may come over.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 7:47 PM
I want to spend any amount of time with you that you are willing to give me. Period. But I also don't want to impose on your various other goings on, partly because your fear of me cuts deeply, and your fondness for all the others makes it seem impossible for me to be anything but envious of those other guys who you're not afraid of fucking or falling for. I know I should feel special because I am in some other category of friend, but it actually kind of sucks because I can't have the parts of our friendship I want.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:52 PM
So, again, I want to come over, but I won't if you ask me not to.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:53 PM
No trap, no hidden hurt. Plain and open.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:53 PM
And, ok, so yes I could have those parts of the friendship if I were able to get over my own shit and share you with a group or whatever. I know I'm depriving myself of what you're able to offer, and that's on me.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:56 PM
Texting is the worst possible way for us to have an important talk. I'm sorry I made you reinvite and all that. Really sorry, Steven.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 7:59 PM
At this rate, I wouldn't blame you if you just threw your hands in the air and walked away from all the bullshit I bring to the table.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 8:00 PM
Your life would be simpler and less turbulent by far.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 8:01 PM
Are you still there?
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 8:06 PM
Did I fuck everything up?
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 8:07 PM
Shut up and come over. Get high. Get fucked. Fuck. Get high again. Then after, we will talk about lots of stuff, cereal and not cereal.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 8:08 PM
Well, that all sounds like I will need a shower.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 8:09 PM
And an ice mask to go around my eyes right now. Hehehe
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 8:10 PM
What time do you want me to be there?
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 8:11 PM
9, quarter after
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 8:12 PM
How many conversations are you having to have right now to smooth over all the shit I caused?
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 8:13 PM
Just you, Don, and be Danny.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 8:14 PM
Don't know how "be" got in there
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 8:14 PM
I'm sorry.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 8:14 PM
No need to be sorry. You didn't come and type "be"
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 8:17 PM
Ha
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 8:17 PM
You know what I meant.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 8:17 PM
I'll see you around 9:00, 9:15.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 8:18 PM
I got a new drum today
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 8:18 PM
YAY
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 8:18 PM
You received a picture.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 8:18 PM
Did you talk to Heritage for the Blind today?
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 8:18 PM
Tried to call him again and no reply no answer
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 8:19 PM
Shit.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 8:19 PM
There's an online form you can fill out.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 8:20 PM
https://acbcardonation.org/
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 8:20 PM
Oh cool
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 8:21 PM
I'm guessing it's not really good form to bring a bunch of dirty laundry in a Lyft to your best friend's possible fuck party.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 8:22 PM
I'll do some in the morning when I get home
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 8:23 PM
Some?
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 8:23 PM
Laundry
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 8:23 PM
Gotcha
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 8:24 PM
If you want to bring some, do.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 8:24 PM
That's not an issue in the slightest
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 8:24 PM
Ok. Just now leaving. Lyft is 6 mins from my door
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 9:06 PM
Sorry to be running late
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 9:07 PM
It's cool. I just got in.
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 9:09 PM
Like 5 minutes. Still in the bathroom
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 9:09 PM
I'm on my way. See where my Lyft ride is: https://www.lyft.com/sr/1291441213349387676?token=VAkd9K6kr-pyQ-SM9EegCw%3D%3D
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 9:15 PM
I am sweating like a fountain.
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 9:23 PM
So gonna need a shower
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 9:23 PM
No worries
Steven • July 12, 2019 - 9:25 PM
So, what am I walking into this evening in the wake of my turmoil?
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 9:26 PM
Dell Latitude 14" E5440 i3 320G Laptop - $199.99 - Free shipping for Prime members https://computers.woot.com/offers/dell-latitude-14-e5440-i3-320g-laptop?utm_medium=share&utm_source=app
Quintin • July 12, 2019 - 9:34 PM
Hey
Steven • July 13, 2019 - 12:33 AM
I know American Spirits burn slow but, you are at least done smoking now.
Steven • July 13, 2019 - 12:41 AM
You're isolating. And he is thinking that you just don't want anything to do with him
Steven • July 13, 2019 - 12:44 AM
If that's the case, I'm sorry
Steven • July 13, 2019 - 12:44 AM
He really wants you and I to get him. I want to get both of you.
Steven • July 13, 2019 - 12:45 AM
But
Steven • July 13, 2019 - 12:45 AM
........
Steven • July 13, 2019 - 12:45 AM
You no here
Steven • July 13, 2019 - 12:45 AM
Sorry. I can't do this again. I'm really sorry.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 1:34 AM
Are my keys still by the toaster oven???
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 1:57 AM
Found them. Go back to doing Danny.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 2:00 AM
Thanks for the Lyft home.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 2:29 AM
I don't know why, honestly, but I felt it might be a good idea to check and make sure you are up, ok, and getting ready to catch the bus.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 6:30 AM
And to remind you to copy and paste the content of your latest resume into an email and send it to me.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 6:33 AM
AND to remind you to take care of getting your car donated!
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 6:33 AM
If it's towed, I won't be able to help you pay the impound yard.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 6:34 AM
Alright. I tried. Hope you are alive.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 6:43 AM
Also, you violated the Radius Rule.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 7:47 AM
I'm kinda angry about that.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 7:47 AM
But since you're not responsive, I'll save that for you in person.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 7:48 AM
Are we good?
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 11:37 AM
Guess I finally fucked it up for good. Sorry if I embarrassed you last night in front of your guest.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 12:12 PM
Not even worried about being embarrassed. I feel incredibly sorry and bad about myself. I don't really know how to go about talking about it. And
Steven • July 13, 2019 - 1:29 PM
You don't have to.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 1:30 PM
And?
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 1:32 PM
Sorry, I had to get back to work
Steven • July 13, 2019 - 2:59 PM
Yeah, I figured. I understand
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 3:00 PM
Are you still coming to Pride this evening?
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 4:19 PM
I hope you do
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 4:45 PM
Hello?
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 5:21 PM
Because I haven't gone down there yet because I wanted to know if you were going to join me.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 5:39 PM
If you are, great. If not, I probably won't either.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 5:40 PM
Well, fuck.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 6:41 PM
I even got brave and dressed a little slutty.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 6:43 PM
Thinking my friend would be coming to be with me.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 6:44 PM
I'm done. Have a great time doing whoever it is today. I'm going to get blind drunk and let what happens happen.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 6:59 PM
Thanks for making Pride extra memorable for me.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 7:35 PM
I believe I may go upstairs and test this theory about mixing booze with GHB
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 7:38 PM
Fuck all the way off, Steven.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 8:25 PM
I could tell when I left last night that you were trying hard to sabotage any remaining thread that I clinged to. Apparently you decided to give what was already a shockingly hurtful and insensitive debacle a turbo boost of pure "FUCK YOU, Quintin!", Because I have reached a point where you literally have me thinking about suicide again. Thank you. That's a fantastic parting gift to bestow on someone whose only crime was loving you a little too much.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 8:30 PM
At least I now know for sure how frequently and regularly I've actually been getting shit on by you.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 8:33 PM
No. You don't deserve the comfort of hurting people this badly from afar and not having to witness the destruction in real time. I'll be at your house in half an hour tops. If you don't answer the door, you'll find me sleeping on the doorstep until I get to look you in the eye and tell you how this feels.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 8:51 PM
See you shortly.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 8:52 PM
You're evil.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 8:59 PM
Not passively, accidentally hurtful. You're a monster.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 8:59 PM
And considering how many times I offered you a pain free exit, the fact that you didn't take it and still did this to me makes you a pussy as well.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 9:01 PM
How fucking dare you, Steven?
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 9:01 PM
Why not just poison me or find an easy and quick way to kill me yourself, instead of leaving it to me to do? Fuck you!
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 9:03 PM
I want every single thing I EVER made the stupid, predictable decision to loan you back. Like, immediately. I can only imagine how ridiculous I must have appeared in your eyes every time you uttered a new need and I threw myself on it like the pitiful, desperate piece of AIDS-ridden trash I am trying to fill every possible problem you had with something I could provide.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 9:13 PM
You've managed to teach me an unthinkable lesson these last two nights. That I matter less than the dust that lines a window sill.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 9:14 PM
Probably having a good laugh right now with your fuck buddy friends at how long it took for me to realize how much comedy my tragedy was providing you.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 9:16 PM
You're not getting the privilege of a face-to-face exchange tonight, because honestly I could end up in jail, and I'm not fucking up my life over you. I will, however, be seeing you for a late breakfast tomorrow morning at Shari's.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 9:20 PM
Till then, my "friend", go fuck yourself.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 9:20 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 9:21 PM
There. That was yours. Use that.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 9:21 PM
Did you grow a pair yet? Or are you gonna stick with some lie about falling asleep on your couch when I've been trying to reach you since before you got off work?
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 11:29 PM
And if you think for one second that this contrived, hateful, damaging treatment of me is in some way in my best interest, you couldn't be more wrong. I won't be able to move on from this. I don't have it in me.
Quintin • July 13, 2019 - 11:31 PM
I don't have enough anger to outweigh the heartbreak. I want to hate you for what your refusal to communicate is doing to me.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 2:29 PM
I wasted a lot of time and money trying to see you at work, only to learn after I arrived that you weren't on the schedule.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 2:30 PM
Surprise news to me.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 2:30 PM
Fair warning, Steven. I'm calling King County Sheriff's Office if I haven't heard from you by 3:30PM. I am filing a missing persons report, and I'll give them every bit of information I have to help find you.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 2:58 PM
A confirmation that you are alright is all I need to not involve police.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 2:58 PM
Tic Tok
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 3:23 PM
I'm deathly serious. 3:30.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 3:24 PM
I'm fine I'm fine I'm fine I'm fine I'm fine! I'm avoiding everybody. You, Rory, and everybody. I'm avoiding everybody. The fucking world. Everybody in the fucking world has been hurt by me. Don't want to fucking hurt anybody. Anybody!
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 3:42 PM
You are right. You have hurt me more than I thought possible, and you're doing more of it right now.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 3:44 PM
Talk to me.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 3:44 PM
Please
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 3:45 PM
I will send you back your money that you gave me when I have it
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 3:45 PM
Please, Steven
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 3:45 PM
I am begging you
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 3:46 PM
Begging
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 3:46 PM
BEGGING
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 3:46 PM
PLEASE FUCKING TALK TO ME!!!
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 3:46 PM
What did I do????
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 3:47 PM
Stop. Stop!
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 3:48 PM
I can't! I'm breaking!
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 3:48 PM
I don't understand!
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 3:48 PM
There's no reason for you to be breaking.
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 3:48 PM
YOU! I can't lose you!
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 3:49 PM
Why are you doing this to me?
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 3:49 PM
I promise, I'll be better. I won't be sad anymore around you
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 3:49 PM
I'll do anything
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 3:50 PM
Please, Steven
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 3:50 PM
Be strong for you. You don't need me. I just need a few minutes where I don't have somebody asking me for something that I don't have to give. I don't have any more of me to give.
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 3:50 PM
My phone's going off now.
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 3:50 PM
I'm killing myself. I can't hurt this much
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 3:51 PM
You sound like an ass. Don't fucking let somebody else's life have that much control on yours.
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 3:56 PM
Be strong, Quintin. I'm sorry that I didn't fucking come over on Saturday when things were going to be so fucking weird between us. I don't know when we're going to hang out again.
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 3:58 PM
When you get this, I want you to know that I loved you. I didn't think I had that in me after so many years in isolation, intentionally shutting everyone out of my heart. But you proved me wrong. The thing is, I can't go back to that way of living. I can't. And so I'm not. Thankfully, I have three ounces of help to get me where I'm going. If there's another side, I hope to see you there. I love you. Know that. Hate me for it if you have to. Doesn't make it any less true. Goodbye, Steven.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 4:00 PM
I'm sorry
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 4:20 PM
I approved those two requests you made for the $150 and for the $250
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 4:22 PM
I sent your money back to you.
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 4:22 PM
You should have just kept it. It will go to waste now. I'm sorry for making your life so complicated. I know now that that was the ultimate selfishness I could have enacted on you, and I'm sorry to have done it. There is a certain kind of peace that comes with being resolute in a decision. I'm going to lie down now and enjoy the rest of this ride. I'd appreciate it if you would take care of Iago and Moriarty, at least insofar as seeing to it they find a good home, preferably together. It would be too traumatic for them to be separated after what's going to be a tough transition for them as it is. I'd say you owed me that, but you sent the money back to an account it'll rot in. So, I guess maybe as a favor to a former friend? Thanks, buddy.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 4:35 PM
Your still my friend
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 4:38 PM
I'm still your friend
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 4:38 PM
I'm really stressed out! I still owe Cat money. I don't have a car. I need to figure out how to get both of those things taken care of doing either. I hurt your feelings the other night by not showing up. Rory does not know that his cancer is in his kidneys as well. I'm so fucking stressed out, I don't know what to do. I was puking up blood last night cuz I'm so fucking stressed out. That's part of the reason I didn't show up. And now I just feel like I'm being an asshole to everybody, so I think I'm going to lay in a fucking bath and slice my fucking wrists.
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 4:41 PM
I'm gonna be there first. I'm really sorry, Steven. I never meant to hurt you or make you feel stressed. I just wanted to care for you.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 4:43 PM
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 4:44 PM
1 down.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 4:44 PM
I'm calling the Pierce County sheriff
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 4:45 PM
And Stir
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 4:45 PM
No need. It's fine.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 4:46 PM
oh I am. A friend of mine threatens to kill himself like that and it shows me a picture of him having drank a whole bottle of G I'm going 2
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 4:46 PM
I'm going to go for a walk anyway.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 4:46 PM
Former.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 4:47 PM
I called Stir.
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 4:47 PM
Former?
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 4:47 PM
You don't get to call me a friend when you're treating me like so much cast off garbage.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 4:48 PM
If me being mad one time is enough for you to call me a former friend, then fuck it. Whatever
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 4:48 PM
Okay, fine fuck you dude
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 4:48 PM
Don't be mad.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 4:48 PM
I've been having a really stressed out fucking day! I was throwing up, puking fucking blood the other day and it's okay! fine! whatever! I don't deserve to have friends anyway, so...
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 4:49 PM
I'm sorry, Steven.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 4:49 PM
No need
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 4:49 PM
You gotta do what's right for you.
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 4:49 PM
Hit me up sometime if you wanna be my friend again.
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 4:50 PM
Still, I feel like I need to make sure you know that I am.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 4:50 PM
As for now. I'm going back to bed.
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 4:50 PM
Goodbye.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 4:50 PM
Whatever bye thanks for being such a good friend to me
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 4:51 PM
Sorry I couldn't return the favor and be a good friend back.
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 4:51 PM
It's fine. I made it impossible. I know that.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 4:51 PM
You tried.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 4:52 PM
If I could go back to Yakima and start all of this over again, I would. And I'd be more careful to make sure I didn't fuck things up like this.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 4:53 PM
I can't undo it, though. This is the bed I get to lie in now.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 4:54 PM
I feel more that I fucked it all up
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 4:54 PM
One of my own making.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 4:54 PM
I still am your friend.
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 4:54 PM
Am just a lil over whelmed
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 4:54 PM
You warned me not to let myself get so close. You told me straight up that you didn't have more to offer me, and I didn't listen. I'm so sorry.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 4:55 PM
Take things one at a time. Breathe. You'll get through it.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 4:56 PM
It will all work out for you.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 4:56 PM
Not likely
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 4:56 PM
😁
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 4:56 PM
I'll see if there are any strings I can pull for you. Soon. Ish?
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 4:57 PM
I'm not going to be able to sell mushrooms anymore cuz my mushroom connect's going to cut me off, Rory's probably going to die, my sister is going to have issues with her best friend so therefore have some issues with me because of me. I don't have a car no prospects I'm getting one I need to look for a job down here I won't find one I'm going to end up homeless and yah
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 4:58 PM
That is a long list. But you aren't taking them one at a time. Fix what you can fix. Feel the one's that need to be felt. The rest will wait.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 4:59 PM
I'm gonna sit for a while. It's weird feeling so horny in the middle of something like this. Hahaha Odd pairing.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 5:00 PM
You can sell the Surface and the projector, if that will help.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 5:02 PM
And I'm sending back the money. Seriously. It'll be better used by you.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 5:02 PM
Take care of your Spokane problem.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 5:03 PM
Pop Quiz for old times' sake: What's just a fancy-schmancy name for any simple oxygenated adhesive?
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 5:06 PM
C'mon! Play with me one time! It'll be fun.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 5:10 PM
It's a gorgeous day. Have you been outside at all today? I never take the time to sit and enjoy the beautiful weather.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 5:12 PM
Why do people do that?
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 5:12 PM

Be easier on yourself, Steven. Hold yourself to a high standard, especially in how you care for the people in your life, but give yourself credit for your accomplishments and room to fall down every now and then. You're human, and you will crash and burn once in a while. It's the getting back up and continuing forward with the same room in your heart that matters.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 5:19 PM
You're a good person.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 5:19 PM
If there's one thing I can say I regret, it's making you feel like you weren't.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 5:20 PM
(hug)
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 5:21 PM
Hey
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 9:50 PM
What's up?
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 9:50 PM
If you're checking to see if I'm alive, I am. I made myself throw up all over the Spanish Steps.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 9:52 PM
The historical society would have me hanged.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 9:52 PM
So there's nothing horrific to go on your conscience. Don't worry.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 9:53 PM
It's not about my concience.
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 9:54 PM
That doesn't exist.
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 9:54 PM
I'm in the throes of withdrawal.
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 9:54 PM
And sorry if I was mean to you earlier.
Steven • July 14, 2019 - 9:55 PM
I tried to give you wisdom and comfort on my way out. You repaid that by turning your phone off while I died.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 9:55 PM
Thinking about how stupid it would look to be found there like that made me violently ill.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 9:56 PM
Sick
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 9:56 PM
What is it you want me to do? Bring you T?
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 9:57 PM
Or what?
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 9:58 PM
Do you really hate me that much? To reach out to me only to go silent again after I finally managed to stop sobbing?
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 10:00 PM
Guess I have my answer. I don't know how to say sorry any more strongly than I have a hundred times today. I am. But please don't be cruel.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 10:04 PM
If you're done with me, just be done. This texting then disappearing just reopens an already painful wound.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 10:06 PM
Incredible. You, good buddy, surprise me. I sat waiting to offer you help yet again.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 10:12 PM
And I still will be when you decide to ask for it.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 10:18 PM
And for what it's worth, I am really sorry to hear about Rory.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 11:05 PM
I'll just go away now so you can focus on the important things in your life without my being a source of stress for you.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 11:06 PM
BUT before I do, (hahaha) I will offer one more time to help you with your withdrawal problem before it gets too late to get an affordable ride here and back. Going, going...
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 11:45 PM
You can even use it as an opportunity to bring me back my things so I don't have to go over there after work one day and get them from you.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 11:48 PM
Okey dokey, Pokey. I get the message. "Fuck off, Quintin!" Copy that, sir! Adios.
Quintin • July 14, 2019 - 11:55 PM
Because I'm not a total asshole, I want to tell you that I think your symptoms - the bloody vomitus, the inexplicable heartburn/heart attacks, and the anxiety that accompanied them - leads me to believe that you might have a stomach ulcer or two on the brink of perforation. It's not a fun thing to have stomach acid leaking through an ulcer that's eaten all the way through your stomach and into your abdomen when it finally ruptures. My ex, the last man I let myself live, perforated his ulcer stressing over the aftermath of our breakup when I threw him out and took him off my insurance because he cheated on me with my co-worker. You should see a doctor and have tests run before that happens.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 3:01 AM
At the very least you probably have ulcers, and could use a prescription for that and anxiety.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 3:02 AM
NOW I'll fuck off. Hope you get better.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 3:03 AM
The biggest thing is I woke up and was severely overwhelmed by messages from you and from Rory. Like an ungodly amount. And I tried to start messaging you guys back to talk to you and you both started back in on me and I lost my mind.
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 4:58 AM
Sorry
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:46 AM
Consider me taught.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:20 AM
So, as I said last night here and via email, I'm still willing to help you if you want my help. I can get your resume into a nice, attractive template of which I have dozens. And I can help you register your car for pick up by one of the two charities I sent you. All I need is for you to send me the information on that's needed for each.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 8:02 AM
And I am still willing to share some T with you to help you through the withdrawal, unless you are intentionally cleaning up, in which case that offer is rescinded. Congrats.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 8:04 AM
If you don't want my help, that's perfectly fine and understandable, since I know you are tired of my making it weird between us. I get it. I'm sorry. And I wish you the best.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 8:05 AM
Please don't let the messages I've sent you this morning stress you out. They are only meant to be supportive and to assure you that I'm rational enough to accept what has happened.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 8:06 AM
I have to leave for work now, because we're moving office locations, and I have to be there too make sure my belongings all make it down to the second floor and get set up properly. But if you need to, you can text or call me and I will help.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 8:12 AM
Even if you don't want my help, you can text me to say so, and I won't bother you.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 8:13 AM
Much.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 8:14 AM
By the way, it was telling yesterday about the status of my friendship with the staff at Stir when you alerted them about my drinking all that G that not even one person came outside to look for me. I'm glad I threw up so I can go in there and give them a piece of my mind. 🤨
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 8:19 AM
Did you want to come by today to pick up some T? I can meet you at my place at lunch so you don't feel trapped for too long. Just thought I'd offer.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 10:06 AM
Hey, did I leave a can of butane and a torch lighter over there in my haste to get away?
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 12:42 PM
Now I'm afraid of stacking more than one message in your inbox. But I have questions.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 2:22 PM
So the donation company won't get the car off the freeway oh, I did however figure out how to get it back to my place. Larry said that he has AAA and AAA will tow it up to x amount of miles. So I can have it towed back to my house and then we'll figure it out from there. So hit me up before you head over just to make sure I'm here.
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 2:53 PM
That's what I need to talk to you about.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 2:54 PM
Can I call you?
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 2:54 PM
Ya
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 2:55 PM
You received a picture.
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 3:01 PM
Heading home now
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 4:30 PM
Do you have any reportable status yet?
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 4:46 PM
🎶Why'd ya have to go and make thing so complicated....🎶🎵
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 6:24 PM
I don't know the next line
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 6:24 PM
I'm so sorry, Steven! I want so badly to come over there. I can't I can't let myself though. I hope you understand or that you can talk me out of it I don't know. What I know is that it would take so much more strength than I have left to keep from breaking down and making you once again feel awkward and regret having me.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:24 PM
I'm sorry.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:24 PM
For all of it.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:24 PM
I accept the bulk of the blame.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:25 PM
Nothing to be sorry for
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 6:25 PM
I don't know that I can stop loving you without hating you, and I'm not willing to do that.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:25 PM
We are just doing what hue-mans have been doing forever.
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 6:26 PM
You tested the fuck out of that yesterday, and still...
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:26 PM
Here I am, waiting around to see how I can help you and be part of your life...
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:27 PM
And that's not being honest.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:27 PM
Hate takes way more energy than love. It's a waste. I'm not telling you what to do, I am simply asking that before you hate, or even stop loving or choose indifference.. we are friends, yes? Given a little bit of time, and a moment of perspective, people tend to see things from a better place.
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 6:28 PM
I'll say I'm not going to feel that love for you anymore, but then I'll just cry alone, and I deserve better than that for myself.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:28 PM
Don't cry.
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 6:29 PM
Or cry.
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 6:29 PM
We are friends. I just don't know how to dial it back down.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:29 PM
Nothing is wrong with either
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 6:29 PM
I cry. Often
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 6:29 PM
Trust
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 6:30 PM
Boohooin it up.
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 6:30 PM
I'm stuck in this place where I can't have what I want, can't show how badly that hurts, and can't stand to not have you in my life.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:31 PM
But that allows me to have the good. The bad days make the good ones better, the great days make the worst ones worse
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 6:31 PM
Yeah.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:31 PM
I'm in your life. Wasnt planning on leaving it.
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 6:31 PM
Maybe tomorrow I'll wake up and it'll have all gone away. I'll be able to be just your friend without being insane with jealousy of anyone else you call friend and fuck.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:32 PM
Can it just be tomorrow, then? Please?
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:32 PM
I'm making this worse. I'm sorry. I'm stopping this now. It's no longer productive.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:33 PM
I need to mourne the loss of something that was never going to be mine. How do I do that???
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:34 PM
If you got to get it out, get it out.
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 6:34 PM
You're never going to see me the same again. You're going to be watching for signs that I'm back on the love juice and jonesing for you.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:36 PM
And I don't know that I can honestly say that I won't be.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:36 PM
So where does that leave us, Steven? How can we be what the other needs without giving up something fundamental about us?
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:37 PM
Nevermind.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:38 PM
I'm fine
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:38 PM
Enjoy dinner. I'll catch you sometime down the road when you've got room on your plate and no juggling going on.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:39 PM
Take care of you, ok?
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:40 PM
I'm hurt at my own lack of actions to prevent this turn of events. I don't ever want to be the cause of pain for anyone. That's part of the reason why I left Rory. I am sorry that I let you think and feel that in some way I had other intent than to be single. I'm sorry. I so did not want to use the word. Apologies seem lacking in times such as this. And I don't know that I can fix this problem. It's not a problem I have the ability to fix. It's something you have the power to control. Something you're in control of. Our friendship means a lot to me. If it is ending now, I think that's shitty. I don't hate you. I value you and your friendship. Know that.
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 6:40 PM
And I'm sorry for the douchebag-ness of that.
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 6:41 PM
I read it after I sent it.
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 6:41 PM
I'm not ending our friendship. That you can be sure of. I don't feel like I should feel ashamed for loving you, because you're a lovable son of a bitch. I just don't know how to be the friend you want me to be - one you don't have to feel bad for seeing other people without. One that doesn't get hurt so easily when you get joy out of spending time with others. One who isn't going to flood your inbox with impatient messages when you fucking stand him up and go into coward mode. I don't think I can be that friend if that's who you need me to be.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:45 PM
I will always care a little too much. I will always want you to pick me first. And I can't see myself ever not hoping that maybe some day, some how... That's my truth right now.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:47 PM
No shame, no one should feel bad. That's the whole thing. I am glad I make you happy when I do. But your happiness is something that should depend on you
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 6:47 PM
Not me
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 6:47 PM
Agreed
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:47 PM
Good
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 6:48 PM
I'm working on getting back in with my therapist
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:48 PM
I wish you actually felt that way
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 6:48 PM
I need professional help. Admittedly.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:48 PM
Can we talk on the phone?
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:48 PM
I can't text fast enough
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:48 PM
I'll professionally kick your ass. Haha
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 6:48 PM
Jokes
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 6:49 PM
It's cool if you have stuff to do. I'm good.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:49 PM
I'll be good.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:49 PM
I just know how you tend to skim, and I feel it's very important, especially now, that we hear each other's words, and intent.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:51 PM
I've always felt that you lacked any desire to read what I felt. Now I know why.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:51 PM
Haha
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:52 PM
I just don't like it when I get several messages ahead of you, and then you never see the important things in there.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:53 PM
Like now. As I keep going when you're clearly doing something else.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:53 PM
brokenstarfish.blogspot.com
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:55 PM
Goodnight, Steven.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:56 PM
Hey.
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 6:56 PM
Yeah
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:56 PM
I do care for you, a great deal. I'll talk to you later. Smile
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 6:57 PM
I can't with this communication style. Not having it. When we talk from now on, I want to know I have your attention as a matter of respect.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:58 PM
Have a delightful dinner. Thanks for deeply caring.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 6:59 PM
Well I am a deeply caring person and as such I care deeply
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 7:00 PM
Yep I did it right out of beaches
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 7:00 PM
It shows.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:00 PM
That means you have to go have a daughter now
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 7:00 PM
I've always said how deeply you cared. I could see how deep your care went before I got to Yakima.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:01 PM
That wasn't a euphemism
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 7:01 PM
We both know there's no child in the future for the Unfuckable Hulk.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:02 PM
I'm barren.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:02 PM
My womb is a desert
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:02 PM
That's where the cowboys live
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 7:02 PM
Whatever. I'm not studying no fuckin' men again for a loooooong, loooooong time.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:03 PM
Y'all be hurtin a bitch left and right.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:03 PM
Again never my intention. I'm sorry.
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 7:04 PM
Have at 'em. Even the trash inside the radius.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:04 PM
It is what it is. We landed here regardless, and there's no liquid paper for life.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:05 PM
Can I please, please just get one more angry thing off my chest? And know that it's over and done and we won't have to visit it again?
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:07 PM
And then I promise to leave you alone.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:07 PM
Whatever you need for me to do, even if we have to revisit this over again and again and again, meaning you got to do what you got to do. What's up?
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 7:07 PM
Phone?
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:07 PM
I need your full attention for what I need to say.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:08 PM
So if you can't give me that now, I'll wait.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:08 PM
And let it fester a little while longer.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:09 PM
Until I explode in a tempest of hate and fury.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:09 PM
Hate and fury it is. Bye bye.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:11 PM
What? hate and fury what?
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 7:12 PM
My point exactly.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:12 PM
Sorry. I was out for a smoke, and hate and fury bye bye
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 7:13 PM
Was what was on my phone.
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 7:13 PM
Do you not see the previous messages?
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:14 PM
I have since
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 7:14 PM
This is why I can't text with you.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:14 PM
You see a butterfly and wander off while I keep going
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:14 PM
Something like that
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 7:15 PM
And some really important shit goes unread.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:15 PM
So do you have time and the attention span to allow me to voice one more grievance, but on the phone?
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:16 PM
You can say no. I'll be annoyed, but I'll understand.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:16 PM
Not now.
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 7:18 PM
Wow. You're caring so deeply right now you're on fire.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:18 PM
Ok
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:18 PM
Sorry
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 7:18 PM
Later
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:18 PM
Whatever. At least I'm not waiting or wasting time.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:18 PM
Goodnight
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:18 PM
#FOMO
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:19 PM
There's a picture of your dick on my blog.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:19 PM
Buh bye
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 7:19 PM
It is a cruel irony that I have T, but am about to run out of butane because I left it at your house when I was fleeing the scene.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:17 PM
Yah, your torch is at my house in the cupboard above the sink. And so is butane. I, however, am not at my house.
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 9:20 PM
I am distracting myself tonight, from the hell the next few days to weeks promise to be
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 9:21 PM
I realize that. I was simply pointing out how fucked I am.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:21 PM
Oh.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:21 PM
I see.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:21 PM
Fuck me for giving you room for that special dinner.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:22 PM
I'm an idiot. Hahahaha
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:22 PM
Don never showed
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 9:22 PM
I appreciate the call to say so
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:22 PM
Thanks.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:22 PM
Nah, you deserve it. You've had a rough couple days sleeping.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:23 PM
LOL
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:23 PM
Went radio silent, so I'm heading to Seattle
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 9:23 PM
Yeah, I figured.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:23 PM
Predictable Steven
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 9:24 PM
I guess I'll get my shit back from you, when? A week? Two? Before I move?
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:24 PM
Selfish prick who thinks with his dick.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:24 PM
I really do have to ask myself why I fell for you when you do shit like this all the time.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:25 PM
Thanks for the last minute and totally unnecessary stab in the feels. Not even done apologizing before you're back in the saddle.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:26 PM
Sincere as fuck.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:26 PM
Have fun. Use a rubber. Or don't. Not my place to care. When you are ready to see me again, give me a call.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:27 PM
Still my friend! "I care deeply about you!"
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:28 PM
Ok
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:28 PM
I know.
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 9:28 PM
I care for you.
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 9:29 PM
Bull. Shit.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:29 PM
But you're letting your happiness hinge on me.
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 9:29 PM
I had something important I wanted to talk to you about earlier, and you blew me off to get your dick ready for fucking
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:29 PM
You wouldn't know where to begin making me happy, Steven. You'd have to put my needs ahead of your own for once.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:30 PM
Without making me feel like you did me a favor.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:30 PM
Your little charity fuck.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:31 PM
I didn't blow you off at all.
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 9:31 PM
"So do you have time and the attention span to allow me to voice one more grievance, but on the phone?"-Me
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:31 PM
"Not now."-You
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:32 PM
That's what went down.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:32 PM
Barely 2 hours ago.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:32 PM
Well, you don't have to worry about that conversation anymore. We don't need to have it.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:33 PM
It's pointless.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:33 PM
Go get your dick wet with all the strange you can get, and when you're done, don't try to come at me with this "I care so much" bullshit. I'm not buying it anymore.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:35 PM
You really can justify any selfish thing you want to do. Master rationalizer. I'm impressed.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:35 PM
Fuck, why did you have to go and pull this shit tonight. I was this close to actually forgiving you for your cruelty.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:36 PM
All Respect due, Fuck you. I've not pretended to be anything I'm not. Not for you or for anyone else. I'm not happy that you're hurt, but I wasn't out for anything but friendship. I made that clear from the beginning.
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 9:38 PM
Let's put a pin in this. At least for tonight.
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 9:41 PM
I'm sad to say that this right here? This is one hurt too much. Of course it's my own fault, I know, because you're not responsible for anyone's happiness but your own. And, no, Steven, you didn't. You flirted with me for a year, gave me the fucking of a lifetime when we met, and relished every second of flattery, fawning, and generosity I could give you until I cornered you and asked why you wouldn't touch me anymore.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:41 PM
Yes. Easy for you to do because you won't be here trying not to think about your alleged friend lying to you so that he could sneak off to fuck around with half of Capitol Hill.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:42 PM
I will feel this all night now while I pay to wash my laundry 4 pieces at a fuckin' time down in the basement.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:43 PM
I'm not lying nor am I sneaking. I'm honest about what I'm doing. I am in route to the bathhouse. Don can't come over. I just found out that he was sick and went hypoglycemic at the store. And that's why he didn't show up. I told you you can come over at any point. If you would have just came over we'd drink, but you have to over-complicate everything. Right now, I'm sorry.
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 9:43 PM
Sorry
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 9:44 PM
Seriously for tonight
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 9:44 PM
Pin
Steven • July 15, 2019 - 9:44 PM
Pin it up your ass.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:44 PM
With all your rationalizing and technicalities.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:45 PM
I was actually concerned about you! I spent my day trying to figure out how to help you get some of my T.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:45 PM
I'm so fucking stupid!
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:46 PM
And you're using the money I loaned you to pay your mushroom debt to go fuck around. Fuck you, Steven.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:46 PM
That's a totally asshole move.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:47 PM
If you're so worried you might have destroyed our friendship, let me tell you, buddy - you're doing a shitty job of saving it.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:48 PM
Fuck me in my gullible ass. $250 for you to go fuck some more. And here I sit with shit bouncing left and right because I cared more about helping you. What a pathetic piece of shit am I?
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:49 PM
Please think about how I'm paying for the holes you fuck tonight, ok? I mean, since you're so afraid of fucking me, at least let me cross your fucking mind for that reason.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:50 PM
I want my shit back tomorrow. Please arrange to get it to me.
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 9:53 PM
Did I at least buy you some decent ass for a Monday night? Are you fucking my money's worth out of all those dudes? Is it worth the friendship you exchanged for it?
Quintin • July 15, 2019 - 11:41 PM
Good morning! I hope you had a great night. What time today can I plan on being available to get my belongings back from you?
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 5:37 AM
It would be more convenient for me if you could bring them by between 11:30 and 12:30, otherwise you'll have to come after work, which would be after 5:00. It's up to you, though. Whichever time is easier, so long as it's today, and so long as you bring it all so there will be no need for other trips.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 5:45 AM
Of course, if you aren't too tuckered out now from your long night of fuckery, I'm also free until 8:00 am, and would welcome the opportunity to be done with this chore early.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 5:46 AM
Though it's entirely possible you are balls deep in some bear or twunk or queer otter thing even now, showing off your legendary stamina. Well, if that's the case, pal, kudos to you! And please, don't stop filling the creampies on my behalf! Just be sure to save some of that energy for the trip to St Helens when you pull out. I really do want to put all of this behind me, where you refuse to go. HA! See my joke there? Behind me?
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 5:51 AM
I assume it goes without saying that I'd appreciate it if you replace the stylus you lost as well as Belly if you don't mind. I'll need to unlock the surface and restore it back to factory settings, and then I'd like to sell it, but it needs its stylus.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 6:03 AM
Items I want back:
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 7:24 AM
Items You Should Keep:
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 7:32 AM
I'll be heading to the office shortly, but please do call or text to arrange a meeting time today. If I haven't heard from you by lunchtime, I'll assume I need to walk down the street and get a Zip Car to come and retrieve my belongings from your apartment and finally get to meet Rory face to face. Won't that be special?!
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 7:34 AM
Not necessarily trying to get into everything just right now, just thought I'd give you a heads-up - I finally found DMT.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 8:27 AM
That's all. Oh, and I will throw your stuff together and get it ready for you so I can bring it back to you at some point.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 8:28 AM
I hope you have a great day at work. You're awesome, and you can do anything.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 8:28 AM
Except get my things back today? Sounds like you don't intend to make it much of a priority.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 8:29 AM
But thank you for the encouragement. That's always appreciated when it's sincere.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 8:29 AM
If you want them today, then by all means I will get them to you today.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 8:30 AM
It is sincere.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 8:30 AM
My feelings all around in this situation have not changed.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 8:30 AM
Other than I feel bad I let it get like this.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 8:30 AM
But I still think you are an amazing man. Handsome and smart. Funny, punny and even a lil bit, dare I say it, goofy.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 8:31 AM
No sense in feeling bad. It's done.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 8:32 AM
You are\were my very good, close friend.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 8:32 AM
I'm sad it's not there anymore. Thank you for all you've done for me. I'm sorry I never could make it up to you.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 8:33 AM
I'll have your stuff to you today.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 8:33 AM
And my feelings aren't at all what they were just a short time ago, so don't feel bad thinking I'm still hurting over a cliche unrequited live.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 8:33 AM
Now get back to work. Stop wasting time.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 8:33 AM
I don't assume to know what you think or feel.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 8:33 AM
I don't want to fight with you. I don't want to hurt you. I'm sorry that I did.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 8:34 AM
Time is no longer being wasted. I'm pointing myself back to a sane, rational, me-focused path.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 8:35 AM
You are very important to me. I value our times had. Even the weird, uncomfortable for me ones.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 8:35 AM
Thank you
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 8:35 AM
Good.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 8:36 AM
Don't lose my number. I'll not lose yours. However, I don't think you want me hitting you up. So I'll leave that to you. If. Or when if ever, you need my help, or just want to say hay girl hay. I'll be at the other end of the line.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 8:38 AM
Sorry, Quintin
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 8:38 AM
Believe me, I am.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 8:38 AM
It took one last pang of feeling jealous and unwanted to finally push me over the tipping point. So, in a way you did us both a favor by taking the heartbreak all the way into 5th gear. I'm not sad and pining for something I'll never have anymore. Thanks for that, I suppose.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 8:38 AM
.....
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 8:39 AM
I mean, fuck you very muchly still, because that was hella shitty, but it did its job in curing me of my juvenile obsession with being loved back.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 8:39 AM
I mean that in the friendliest way a fuck you can be said.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 8:40 AM
I'm sure I will get past the fury and the humiliation soon enough. You haven't scarred me for life. Maybe for the foreseeable future, but hopefully by the time I retire in 10 years I'll be ready to open myself back up and see what's out there willing to bite.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 8:42 AM
(shrug)
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 8:42 AM
I'm sorry that I affected you so. I did not have the kind of fucking power on the flippity flop. I hope it doesn't take you 10 years. It's like I said, you're a great guy. If I wasn't in the place that I'm in, things could have been much different. But I made it clear from the get-go what I was and where I was at. I never said anything different. I was always honest, especially about that. I don't know how many other ways I could have said it is I don't want to be with anybody! I said it up one side and down the other till I was blue in the face. You've heard me say that. And I'm sorry.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 8:47 AM
So like I said I'll get your things to you tonight. Chromecast, surfaces, I'll get you a new stylus. Dishes. Glass rods. Tool set. Soldering iron. Tea kettle. French press, extension cord and power strip. Modem and torch. Am I forgetting to list anything
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 8:50 AM
You did. I don't know if you did from day 1, but definitely by the time you moved here. The thing is, it's not like I wanted to fall this hard for you! I tried like crazy not to, especially after I finally got you to tell me what was so wrong with me that you wouldn't touch me. But I fell nonetheless, because unlike you, I haven't had the benefit of having had so many relationships and so much sexual experience, because since I was 18, I was the Unfuckable Hulk. I'm still very immature in a lot of ways that are embarrassing, and that make it feel like maybe it's just too late in my life to start trying to catch up. When I tried, I failed miserably, and you were creeped out and I stayed in tears and now here we are today setting an appointment for me to get my things back.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 8:55 AM
Sorry, again, we should never communicate via text.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 8:56 AM
We get out of sync.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 8:56 AM
But I think I explained what happened from my perspective as best I can, so I guess that's all there is to say, except that I do still have one question I can't let go of that you don't want to answer and I can't let you not.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 8:57 AM
You're not going to let me have that closure, are you? 😒
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 9:01 AM
I'd forgotten you still had my kettle and French press. You keep that soldering kit. I have no need for two.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 9:12 AM
Belly.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 9:13 AM
Okay, so it won't be today that I get your stuff because, well, I forgot that I have to work today or tonight. It's like national pancake day or some bullshit tomorrow. I'll just talk to you tomorrow. I never lied to you. I told you "it would be really easy for me to put you in that place" "as in the place of my boyfriend", which is part of the reason that I backed up so hardcore, because I didn't want to be in a relationship. We had this conversation. I don't know what I did that lead you to believe otherwise. Dude, you are a dear friend and more than a friend.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 9:17 AM
I'm beyond that. You're fixating on proving your innocence in this by reminding me over and over that I'm the guilty one for not heeding your wishes. I get it. This was on me. I just explained that I am not mature enough emotionally, sexually, or friends with benefitswise to know how to be in control of the feelings that popped up despite my best efforts to curb them. I'm sorry that I wound up getting us to this point. It's a shame. I think if I'd been more experienced at having relationships that remain non-romantic, things wouldn't have gotten so unbearable for either of us.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 9:23 AM
That's the whole thing innocent or guilty. This isn't Law and fucking Order.. I'm sorry I just I don't know how to jump through hoops to be a friend like this. I'm sorry! I didn't know I had to put a definition on our friendship every time we see each other. I didn't know that every time we were going to be around each other or was it going to be like, "Is it this? Is it that? Is it this? Is it that? Is it that?" I just want to have a fucking friend that I like, and I like you. You're my friend, unless you're only being my friend thinking that it was going to turn into something more and if so, fuck you for that.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 9:26 AM
All I want is the answer to the one question you always skip right over, and I won't be able to to move past all this without a sense of closure, which relies entirely on your giving me a truthful answer to that awful question - of the three times we have had sex, and I'm not including all the times you just lay there while I sucked and licked and did all the work, but including the night of my birthday, did you ever have sex out of a sense of pity, or obligation, or anything other than legitimately wanting to have sex with ME?
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 9:27 AM
No. I don't pity fuck.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 9:28 AM
I think you're hot.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 9:28 AM
I've told you as much.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 9:28 AM
I know you have, but your body language and the way it happened made it really feel like you did that night.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 9:29 AM
The lack of sex was due to a feeling (correct I might add) that you were forming stronger feelings than could be reciprocated currently. I made no qualms of stating, "I don't want to be in any relationship" multiple times.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 9:30 AM
But I'll take your word for it. And, look... again, text is fucking us up, because I'm not being confrontational with you. You don't have to get all defensive
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 9:30 AM
There it is again.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 9:30 AM
Thanks. I remember it.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 9:31 AM
And as for the times I didn't pick up on signs, sometimes yah on purpose, never to hurt you. More to stop this very situation.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 9:31 AM
You said it.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 9:31 AM
So. Yah. Ok.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 9:31 AM
Thank you. Finally the truth I knew was under there! I was beginning to feel like I was crazy!
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 9:31 AM
I guess I'll text tomorrow when I bring you your things.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 9:31 AM
Same things I've been saying. The words haven't changed.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 9:32 AM
I'm sorry you think this conversation is more emotionally charged than it is. I'm actually feeling better for having said my piece and feeling at least mostly heard this time.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 9:33 AM
So, chill. You're not to blame. I'm the idiot who fell for a perfectly unavailable dude who said as much every day and never once gave me reason to feel like he felt anything close to the same way about me. I'm retarded. That's all.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 9:35 AM
Now I'm going to try and figure out how to do this move and shit under this new set of circumstances.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 9:36 AM
Have a good day.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 9:36 AM
Really. No sarcasm.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 9:37 AM
Retarded, I get it. I know how that feels
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 9:38 AM
Gotcha
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 9:38 AM
I am, in some very important ways!
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 9:38 AM
Remind me the joke there only 11 kinds of people in the world, those who speak binary and those who don't
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 9:38 AM
Unfortunately, you got stuck in my inexperience and, well, now we are this.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 9:39 AM
Me too
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 9:39 AM
I'm still here if you wanna hang or whatever. I'm here.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 9:39 AM
Agreed. But not in a judgy way
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 9:40 AM
Who is judgey? Me?
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 9:40 AM
You know that would be a setback. I'm feeling stronger today because of how furious your actions last night made me. If we hang out after this burns off, I'm going to cry the whole time out of grief and embarrassment.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 9:41 AM
No! I said I agree that you are also retarded in some ways that really matter, but not that I'm judging you.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 9:42 AM
And don't be defensive about me being furious last night. I was and kinda still am, and you will never be willing to see what you did through my eyes, so you can't understand how much you hurt me. Just accept that you did and let's not talk about it. I need this rage right now to keep from doubling over and crying.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 9:45 AM
Ok. Cool. I misread that. That's why I asked for clarification
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 9:45 AM
And I don't have it in me to explain the specifics of what happened from my perspective again. We'll just have to agree to disagree if you don't want to accept the blame for that.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 9:47 AM
Ok, till tomorrow
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 9:47 AM
I have to get ready to go to work.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 9:47 AM
Any idea when tomorrow? I have a doctor's appointment at 3:30 that could run until after 5:00.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 9:48 AM
Ok. I'll wait. Or if it's before that. I'll leave it at Stir
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 9:49 AM
Fine.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 9:49 AM
Have a good shift.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 9:49 AM
I think I may have just now understood something you keep saying, but it didn't make total sense to me until now!
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 12:43 PM
Oh?
Steven • 7/16/19, 12:43 PM]
Do I want to read this?
Steven • 7/16/19, 12:44 PM]
Jokes.
Steven • 7/16/19, 12:44 PM]
So ........?
Steven • 7/16/19, 12:45 PM]
T't't'day jr
Steven • 7/16/19, 12:45 PM]
When you used the phrase, "I could have very easily put you in the position of like a boyfriend", were you saying that you felt like I was acting too much like a boyfriend, or that you were having boyfriend-ish thoughts that you didn't want to have about how I made you feel?
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 12:45 PM
Damn.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 12:45 PM
Chill
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 12:45 PM
Something like that.
Steven • 7/16/19, 12:46 PM]
It was always an awkward phrase to my ear.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 12:46 PM
I told you as much.
Steven • 7/16/19, 12:46 PM]
Can you elaborate? I'm taking an inventory of my behavior
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 12:46 PM
Which, though?
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 12:46 PM
Those are two different meanings.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 12:47 PM
Or a third option, that I acted too much like a boyfriend that on occasion you saw that being a possibility, and it scared you. Or creeped you out. I'm just trying to get a clear understanding so I can learn from it.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 12:49 PM
I think you might be trying to not use certain words or something. Or it could be that text is not the way to ask this
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 12:50 PM
So, yes. You know I feel strongly for you. You mean a lot to me. And yes, I already "started putting you in the boyfriend position in many aspects". And as far as sex goes. One on one sex gets very intimate. I know\knew\think\thought it would make it that much more sticky. Because I, Steven Schofield, am a cereal relationshipist. (Coined a new word) I want to be alone, as in I don't want to have to be responsible for somebody else's heart.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 12:51 PM
I want to make people laugh and smile, feel better and happy inside. If that makes any sense at all
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 12:52 PM
But I don't want to be important enough to anyone to make them feel bad.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 12:52 PM
Does that make sense? I'm not sure I'm articulating well
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 12:53 PM
Kinda
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 12:53 PM
And damnit, Quintin, I let you become important to me. And likewise, me to you. So now... Fuck.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 12:54 PM
I tried to bring sex to our friendship every way I thought I could without making bonds get too strong.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 12:55 PM
At Larry's basement, that group thing in North Seattle, At my house the other night. Invitations to the bathhouse.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 12:56 PM
I understand it's not your thing.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 12:56 PM
No shade. Not talking shit
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 12:56 PM
This right here is the conversation we needed to have a long time ago, Steven. I understand now.
Quintin • 7/16/19, 12:57 PM]
I didn't think that I was that unclear. Sorry
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 12:57 PM
I wish you had felt secure enough to speak this openly before. I think it might have made a world of difference.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 12:58 PM
Or not. Maybe I still would have fucked it all up.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 12:58 PM
My bad, (Cher) ... Ahu,......... (Dion). Crazy bitch........ (Guy on bike)
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 12:58 PM
But thank you for finally getting me on the same page.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 12:58 PM
I've brought this up before though, and you assured me you weren't having any feelings like that.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 12:59 PM
True, it's been a while.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 12:59 PM
No, I think part of it was you choosing your words too carefully trying to protect my feelings, and part of it was my being in my head too much when you were struggling to get through the conversations.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:00 PM
The line between sex between us and you putting me in those situations makes much more sense to me now.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:00 PM
I didn't know you were actually doing it so that you and I could at least be adjacent during sex. But all that did was make me feel miles apart from you and not enough to keep you happy.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:02 PM
I get it now.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:02 PM
I worry that you're fixating on trying to absolve yourself of wrongdoing. I get it, and I agree. This was my fault.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:03 PM
You're probably right.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 1:04 PM
I'm not blaming you for it. Just trying to draw the words out of you without any protective covering so I can finally see it clearly.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:04 PM
No blame.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 1:05 PM
Or to hear them while fully present and not stuck inside my head wondering if you are actually just grossed out by me.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:05 PM
That's what I felt most of the time.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:05 PM
Blame implies guilt. Nothing here is to be guilty for.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 1:05 PM
Guilty for feelings? I think not.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 1:06 PM
I know you told me otherwise. But Hate Monster is a bastard.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:06 PM
Like I stated earlier and yesterday, I'm still here for you, friend.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 1:06 PM
We'll see.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:06 PM
I think maybe a couple days may be in order. For both our sanities
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 1:07 PM
I think I need to see things clearly for a bit before I go and lose my bearings again, you know? Like, try to find my land legs.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:08 PM
If you disagree
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 1:08 PM
Same
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 1:08 PM
Agreed. I still have a bit of resentment to get through.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:08 PM
Fair or otherwise.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:09 PM
And the next few weeks at least week promise trouble. It would be nice to have you to talk to. I know now isn't the time to ask that of you. I won't. This sucks man.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 1:09 PM
I didn't understand anything you just wrote
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:10 PM
Oh. Ok
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:10 PM
I get you.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:10 PM
:l
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 1:11 PM
I want to be able to be that guy for you. I really do. But I think if I try, is it just the old me desperate to make you happy so you'll like me? Or is it the new me who has a handle on his emotional attachment to you? It's confusing
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:12 PM
But also, the part of me that's still raw from this..
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:13 PM
Ok. So not trying to dodge or anything. But I need to hold it together. I'm getting on the bus then to work.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 1:13 PM
I'll hit you up later?
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 1:13 PM
Feels like it needs to be comforted and cared for rather than providing that for anyone else at the moment, you Know?
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:14 PM
Yeah
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:14 PM
Ok
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:14 PM
Yes I do
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 1:16 PM
It sounds weird to hear something that selfish come out of me and not instantly feel guilty for it.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:16 PM
That's a testament to just how powerful your heart breaker is. Well done!
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:17 PM
I need to be more selfish.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:17 PM
What chapter of enamer(ing{Ed}) do you want?
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 1:18 PM
Haha. Jokes
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 1:18 PM
Ill timed and badly executed
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 1:19 PM
slow clap
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:19 PM
You could teach me a thing or two about being totally and completely selfish in bursts.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:20 PM
I bow to thee, oh selfish one. And then you go and do something selfless to throw people off. Hahaha
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:22 PM
...... Mhm. (Sigh) fuck (muttered under my breath)
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 1:24 PM
Don't take my laughing as a sign that I'm not mad anymore. I'm still EXTREMELY fucking mad about your treatment of me this weekend, and pretty disgusted, actually, by what you did last night. I can't forgive that just yet.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:26 PM
I want to hurt you so you feel a portion of the pain you put me in and held me under.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:26 PM
But of course that isn't going to happen, because I'll just swallow it and push it down deep until it comes back along with all my other big bads to kill me one day.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:27 PM
So, yeah. There's that. Later.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 1:29 PM
You did. You said you were done with me. That hurt.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 2:39 PM
I didn't do anything to be hurtful. Trust me I didn't.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 2:39 PM
I just had to have a night not consumed by worry. Didn't get it, don't worry. No pun intended. I'm about to go into work. Know that I don't want you to be hurt. Mad? You're entitled, for your own sake I hope you let that go. Madness and anger, they are heavy and radioactive. They will poison you. On this please believe I know what I'm talking about. Not for me for you. The only one really affected by the anger is the one holding it.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 2:42 PM
You know that's facts
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 2:43 PM
I definitely lashed out in anger, I admit it. I was at the end of my rope, so to speak. Sorry, but I'm not sorry just yet.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 2:43 PM
Don't be, nothing to be sorry for
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 2:44 PM
It will burn off soon enough. I don't hold onto negatives very long if I can help it.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 2:44 PM
As far as I can see it we're good. Maybe better than before, cuz now you know what's going on.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 2:45 PM
I said "we" did not hear "you". "Now we know what's going on."
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 2:45 PM
With one clear exception, of course
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 2:45 PM
My stupid voice to chat
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 2:45 PM
Yes?
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 2:45 PM
Oh, previous answer. Not important
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 2:46 PM
Go to work
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 2:46 PM
But, yes. Now we both know what's going on. I really feel like this conversation with this level of, "fuck it! What have I got to lose?" Would have done us both a lot of good about, oh, maybe 5 months ago? Might have spared us both a lot of frustration and for sure would have spared me all the embarrassment I am still reeling from.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 2:51 PM
Did you get your car back to your apartment complex?
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 3:42 PM
There's nothing to be embarrassed about, man. I'm sorry I wasn't more clear. I tried to be. I really did. I'm sorry I wasn't, but again we either can move forward from this or we don't. It's kind of simple.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 6:40 PM
Yeah
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 6:41 PM
Car?
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 6:41 PM
Quit simplifying shit for me. I understand our predicament. Hahaha
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 6:42 PM
Naw, no car. Had to work. I'm calling the city again tomorrow to see if the heritage guys can get it from impound.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 6:43 PM
Yikes
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 6:43 PM
You worked last night when Larry was supposed to come AAA that shit?
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 6:44 PM
When???
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 6:44 PM
Between bathhouse boys?
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 6:44 PM
I didn't work last night.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 6:45 PM
Right. So what happened to Larry coming to take you to it and having AAA tow you?
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 6:45 PM
He didn't get ahold of me again til almost ten. I thought he bailed.
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 6:45 PM
Gotcha
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 6:46 PM
Dunno
Steven • July 16, 2019 - 6:46 PM
Technical.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 6:46 PM
Wait, you're working an evening shift. Are you going to be able to make the bus in time to get home??
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 7:10 PM
Oh, wait. Wow. Another realization just hit me hard. You were already feeling creeped out by me and my advances as early as the night we did shrooms, huh? That's why you made sure nothing sexish ever happened.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 7:14 PM
Fuck, that's embarrassing.
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 7:14 PM
I wish I had known how much I was making things weird. It still would have embarrassed me to have heard it outright and honest that early in the friendship, but nowhere near as much as continuing to be a creepy sad fuck for months and months beyond that night. Uuuuughh
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 7:19 PM
I'll assume you are a big boy and can figure out your own bus schedule or overnight arrangements.Forget I asked. (I mean, it's not like you were gonna respond to it anyway. LOL)
Quintin • July 16, 2019 - 10:27 PM
The good news is that now I can stop feeling hurt when you fall back into shitty communication patterns and simply ignore me and instead, just consider you a rude piece of shit with no regard for anyone who might have been waiting for an answer from you. Dick.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 1:36 AM
See? That didn't hurt my feelings at all! Asshole.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 1:37 AM
Before, I would have felt like you were ignoring me and would have felt so hurt because it meant I didn't matter. Now I'm finally aware that I matter always, you're just rude.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 1:39 AM
Prick.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 1:39 AM
Hey, FYI, I called in sick today so that I can be home all day until my doctor's appointment at 4:00 to receive those things you were going to put together to bring to me today.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 7:57 AM
Not sure if you still intend to follow through with that, so I just wanted to let you know that I will be here all day.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 7:58 AM
Do you not work day shift today? How were you planning on coming with my things?
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 9:34 AM
Should I just get a Zip Car and come get them myself?
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 9:35 AM
Well honestly, since we started talking shit out, I was just going to wait until you moved. But you can do it however you want. I can bring stuff by tomorrow when Deanna and I take Rory home
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 9:55 AM
You still plan on helping me move?
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 9:56 AM
I assumed I was at it by myself given the falling out and whatnot.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 9:58 AM
So I guess I just took a sick day for nothing. Great.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 9:59 AM
I see I got a response finally that answered none of my questions, but you probably think that'll hold me over for a while.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 10:16 AM
sigh
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 10:17 AM
Of course I plan on helping. That didn't change
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 10:29 AM
But if you're not wanting my help, I get it.
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 10:29 AM
Thanks. That takes one worry of my list.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 10:29 AM
I took today off thinking you were going to come over today. Now I'm just going to be burning through PTO hours I probably should have saved.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 10:31 AM
But I told them I was sick, so I can't really stage a miraculous cure and go in now.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 10:32 AM
Yah that probably wouldn't end well
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 10:33 AM
I wish you had told me that you were changing the plan
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 10:33 AM
Nothing had to be changed. I can get your stuff to you today
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 10:34 AM
You just finished saying that you assumed you could wait until I moved, but could come tomorrow now with Deanna
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 10:35 AM
My head spins
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 10:35 AM
I could also do it today. Not sure exactly how, but I'll get it done.
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 10:36 AM
Don't worry about it, Steven. No sense in going out of your way to do what you said you were doing. It can wait.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 10:38 AM
I'll get the Zip Car anyway and go to the laundromat. That'll at least make taking the day off for nothing a little productive
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 10:39 AM
But an apology for lack of communication which led to my taking the day off would be appreciated. I feel like you aren't owning that, and you should.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 10:49 AM
Okay so I'll make sure I get them over to you there today. I thought since we started talking that we would take care of that after you moved and stuff, but yeah I will get that taken care of today.
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 11:03 AM
Don't get defensive. You can take responsibility for no communication without having to make some grand gesture to prove how righteous you are.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 11:04 AM
I'm holding you accountable is all.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 11:04 AM
Mostly because your style of communication pisses me off anyway. But when it causes plans to go awry, I don't feel like you've ever taken any responsibility for that, and I want you to.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 11:06 AM
That's all. Simma down, big boy.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 11:06 AM
I own part of the mistake today, too.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 11:07 AM
okay so yesterday I told you I would bring it by after your appointment and if I brought it by before I take it to Stir. Not sure how that prompted you to take a day off he also never told me you're going to take a day off otherwise I would have planned accordingly I have to go and get my prescription filled today and have some other stuff I need to get done running around wise cuz I haven't had a car to get it done with as you well know. and as far as my style of communication pissing me off I'll just stop that then.
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 11:08 AM
I'll get your stuff to you when I get it to you
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 11:08 AM
Have a good day. Smile
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 11:08 AM
I shouldn't have taken the day off without making absolutely sure that you were still on the same page.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 11:08 AM
Do you think I could Uber just your stuff to you?
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 11:09 AM
No
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 11:09 AM
Please don't do that.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 11:09 AM
I'll come and get my things later this week when you don't have Rory there and you're not feeling quite as dickish.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 11:10 AM
Have a smooth and tasty day, Steven.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 11:11 AM
Smooth and tasty. I like that. Thank you. You likewise enjoy your day off. Maybe go and have a mimosa.
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 11:12 AM
No, I need to do the laundry I've been trying to get done for a week, but my access to a machine keeps changing.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 11:14 AM
Well if you can hold off on doing that until either late Thursday night or Friday night you are still more than welcome to come over here and do your laundry. I like I said we as far as I'm concerned are still friends. So yeah let me know
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 11:30 AM
No tea no shade no pink lemonade
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 11:31 AM
I'm still deciding on how to be friends. Seeing how pissy you get is raising concern. But thank you for the offer of your washer and dryer. If I have laundry left over, perhaps.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 11:32 AM
And for the record, so I'm clear, am I still a member of the 'Haus of Haux'?
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 11:33 AM
Or has my membership been revoked?
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 11:33 AM
Probationary review.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 11:33 AM
It's not about pissy. But yes there are a few things that get me rather, edgy we'll say, and my friendships are one of them
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 11:34 AM
Haha. Gotcha. Demerits and such I get it.
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 11:34 AM
Nothing "haha" about it. You have some making up to do before I stop being angry with you for your actions.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 11:35 AM
Demerits galore
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 11:36 AM
I also have filed a formal report. Regarding conduct unbecoming of administrative personnel. Had to fill those out in triplicate.
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 11:38 AM
Mmmph
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 11:39 AM
I'm hoping for a plea deal. No severe penalties, and I'll drop my case. All's well that ends well.
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 11:39 AM
Hahahehehuhu
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 11:39 AM
Yeah, you get off scott free for putting me through the most hurtful weekend I've had in decades and I get what? The satisfaction of knowing how ridiculous I looked all this time and access to your appliances?
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 11:42 AM
Nah. I'll see you in court
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 11:42 AM
*limited access at that! Hahaha #Palimony
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 11:43 AM
AND I'm out $40 for the fuckin' G that got thrown up and wasted.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 11:46 AM
So Mad At You!
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 11:46 AM
(^said through gritted teeth!)
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 11:46 AM
So, what's the tea on T? Should I try going back through Antoine now given your car situation and our estrangement?
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 12:03 PM
How are you on it right now? I can still definitely help you out on that.
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 12:04 PM
Very low
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 12:04 PM
Does Rory know we fought, and why?
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 12:14 PM
I know you said you told him you had ruined our friendship...
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 12:15 PM
He actually told me to try harder to fix it, you and I that is. And he also is rather jealous that I actually am trying to communicate with you through a problem.
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 12:53 PM
Oh, lord
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 12:54 PM
He's being very diplomatic about it. So my plan of attack as of now. I'm going to Walmart, then to Tacoma to see you, meanwhile, Rory will either go back to my place or go start looking at the antique and vintage shops near your place
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 12:55 PM
Depends on how much pain he's in at said time
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 12:56 PM
While I'm honored to be nominated for the worthy friend category, I'm petrified with humiliation that he now knows that I was following you around like a lovesick puppy.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 12:56 PM
Then I will meet back up with him.
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 12:56 P
Oh and for the record I didn't say anything to Antoine about are arguing and going on and what not nice business and honestly I'm not a big fan of Antoine
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 12:57 PM
Ok. I have to leave here in a Lyft by 3:40
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 12:57 PM
I don't dislike him. I don't have anything against I just.... something about him
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 12:57 PM
Yeah
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 12:57 PM
Ok.
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 12:57 PM
Same
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 12:57 PM
Are you telling me that so that I won't tell him we're on shaky ground?
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 12:59 PM
I don't care. I was just letting you know so you know I wasn't talking business to your friends, word gets around now so I'm sure people already been knowing
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 12:59 PM
I know that I want to get one of those DMT Finn's funn a little hesitant about those guys cuz of the possessiveness of the game
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 1:00 PM
Guy not game
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 1:00 PM
Please don't fuck Brian. I've been after him for a year
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 1:01 PM
That is what I was talking about I just want to get the cartridge
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 1:01 PM
Right. Good.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 1:02 PM
Thanks
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 1:02 PM
I realize I'm not entitled to dictate who you can or cannot stick your dick in, obviously, but I hope you would respect me enough to know that it wouldn't be cool with me if you fuck one of my friends or one of the guys who have been straight up assholes to me, or any.... Ok, that list is too long for you to read
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 1:05 PM
That's kind of why I made that Radius Rule. If the person you're thinking of fucking is as close or closer to you than I am, it was supposed to be off limits, because at the time I still thought we could fuck, like, 1-on-1, so you could just as easily fuck me instead of that piece of strange.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 1:10 PM
Even though now I know the whole deal, it'll take some time to stop feeling like every dude you fuck is a rejection of me.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 1:11 PM
But I'm going to try. Because that feeling sucks rotten ass, and I'm done with feeling that way.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 1:12 PM
I will set no rules for you as to who you can or cannot stick your dick in or get their dick in you. And as far as a perimeter set for me I regard it with respect and consideration, however it is not the ultimate deciding factor. I mean, you don't want to hear who I'm getting with anyways, so it's not like I couldn't just sleep with whoever I want to and just not tell you. But, yes, I do respect when you've asked me specifically like "do not with...", so I don't. And I typically don't see the people who live too close to me anyhow.
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 1:35 PM
That was a whole lot of deflection and only a tiny bit of agreement. Also, thank you for introducing the idea that you might have been secretly fucking my friends this whole time and just kept it quiet from me. That's not going to haunt my dreams for weeks at all.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 1:36 PM
You know what, no. I don't want to know what you're hiding. I don't care. I asked, and now you will do what you will.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 1:37 PM
This is only until I can separate it from myself so it doesn't make me feel less attractive or less desirable. Like I said, I'm working on that.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 1:38 PM
And attraction nor desire will be playing any role in whatever we stitch back together from this relationship after we're done chopping off the parts I got wrong.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 1:40 PM
No but you asked me not to fuck Brian, and I wont. Cuz I knew it. Not to mention his boyfriend. I'm not trying to start any problems.
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 1:40 PM
I got enough of those already.
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 1:40 PM
Thanks. I appreciate that noncommittal agreement, I think.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 1:41 PM
So, looking at the clock, what are you thinking now as far as when you're going to come by? Before 3:00 or after 5:30?
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 1:42 PM
*3:30 and 5:30
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 1:43 PM
About to get onto the 574 to Tacoma right now.
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 1:45 PM
Ok
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 1:45 PM
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 1:50 PM
👍
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 1:53 PM
You know, the only person who ever called me handsome that didn't sound as if she was finding a polite way to say "not hot" or "average looking" or "not sexy but...not totally gross" was my grandmother. Anyone else who uses that word is, in my opinion, trying to find a compliment that is flattering without being TOO flattering in case I were to think they wanted me... I dislike it because of how I feel when a guy calls me that. It always means, "Yeah, you're good looking enough I guess, but just not for me, thanks".
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 2:35 PM
That was an observation
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 2:36 PM
Baby I'm sorry that you feel that way! Anytime and every time that I called you handsome it's cuz I genuinely mean it. You're a good-looking guy. You have a tendency to think the worst and think everybody else thinks the worst.
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 2:40 PM
Yeah
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 2:40 PM
I know
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 2:40 PM
There's a crazy homeless dude hanging around by my front door.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 2:46 PM
Talking to himself about me very angrily because I wouldn't let him use my phone to call his mom.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 2:47 PM
Fingers all bloody. Hell naw!
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 2:47 PM
Awesome or gross
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 2:47 PM
Awesomely gross.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 2:48 PM
So I'm at Tacoma Dome Station.
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 2:48 PM
Ok. I'm going inside Stir. This fucker is crazy as fuck.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 2:48 PM
I'm right by the Rialto I get off the bus here in a couple stops
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 3:00 PM
Rialto? Ok.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 3:00 PM
I'm like right in front of your work right now
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 3:00 PM
Got it
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 3:00 PM
Wait, did you leave leave?
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 4:46 PM
Guess I'll take that as a yes. Well, bye, I guess.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 4:48 PM
be back to your place in a moment
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 4:49 PM
Oh! Hey! Do I need to send you that now?
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 5:56 PM
$
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 5:56 PM
Sure. That will work. And thank you for the Lyft
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 6:09 PM
No problem. Thank you for being present and talking through that very uncomfortable first visit post meltdown and not fleeing or shutting down. It was important, I felt heard. I also felt like I got an understanding of more and more of our hidden (from me) history. Thank you for handling that well.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 6:13 PM
How was Igor?
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 6:21 PM
Did he earn a tip?
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 6:22 PM
Foreign
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 6:22 PM
Ew!
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 6:22 PM
Yah. Minimum, but yah
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 6:22 PM
Eu!
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 6:22 PM
Igor just got 1 Ruble. ($.02)
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 6:25 PM
Keep me posted on what you decide to do about going up there. Not rushing or directing you, just don't want to set an untenable expectation and have it turn out to be wrong.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 6:40 PM
Did you see this message, Captain Distracted?
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 7:39 PM
The ruplle m yah
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 7:40 PM
No. After that
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 7:40 PM
You received a picture.
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 7:41 PM
The one that says, "Keep me posted on what you decide to do about going up there. Not rushing or directing you, just don't want to set an untenable expectation and have it turn out to be wrong."
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 7:41 PM
Whaaaaaaa?!
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 7:41 PM
I never did get the message
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 7:41 PM
Weird! I wonder how often that's been happening??
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 7:42 PM
Yeah that's weird. that happens sometimes. there's also times that I've been sending you messages and you don't get them.
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 7:42 PM
As it's looking now, probably tomorrow.
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 7:43 PM
That's just another reason to talk more often than text.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 7:43 PM
Ok.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 7:43 PM
I'll be conservative with what you gave me then. Thanks again.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 7:43 PM
Are you just jumping on an opportunity to explain why I often get no response from you?!🤔
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 7:45 PM
No
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 7:46 PM
Mmhmmm
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 7:46 PM
I'd have to compare your phone to my phone to see how many differences there are
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 7:46 PM
Let's do that Friday night. I'm actually very curious to see if you have actually been innocent sometimes.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 7:48 PM
😆
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 7:48 PM
Hey, will you please copy and paste your resume info into an email right now and send it to me so I can put it into a few different templates for you? Help me help you.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 9:22 PM
Did my message go through? Hello?
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 9:27 PM
I got it. I got your message, but now I can't copy my resume and paste it. it's not letting me do anything to it other than just send it or not and then it won't send properly I will type up a new one, not worried about it
Steven • July 17, 2019 - 9:30 PM
I'm sitting here high and wanting to do something creative and productive, and that would completely fit the bill. Can you screen shot it?
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 9:31 PM
What kind of file is it?
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 9:31 PM
Print to PDF?
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 9:31 PM

Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 9:37 PM
Thanks for that tiny bit of extra effort. I'll make it amazing. Promise.
Quintin • July 17, 2019 - 9:39 PM
Okay, you sent two examples of resumes the first one was far too busy in my opinion for a restaurant application I'm resume as it were. The second one in the casino resume did not download all the way it was just blank all black but yeah I'm like gold headers underlines bullet points underneath that's all I'm looking for in a resume I feel like the experience that's on the page does enough flashing and thank you so much for doing this for me I really do appreciate it. And by the way good morning.
Steven • July 18, 2019 - 7:43 AM
Got it.
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 9:42 AM
Ok, so work, home, costume change, Deanna & Rory wooly mammoth, Deanna to my place, and then... What's the plan for Jose? Tomorrow if you can't get with him before you head home to change?
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 2:18 PM
I'm wearing the slacks I got that match the ones I got you. They are NOT made to withstand many instances of a fat boy bending over to pick up a piece of trash on the office floor!
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 3:34 PM
So still no Jose,.. ibsemtnout a couple other feelers
Steven • July 18, 2019 - 3:42 PM
Sent out
Steven • July 18, 2019 - 3:43 PM
Ok. Thanks for trying.
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 3:43 PM
I don't want to put you through a lot of extra. I know you have a schedule to keep.
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 3:44 PM
No worries
Steven • July 18, 2019 - 3:49 PM
Did my question about the sequence of things go through? I'm suspecting each one of them now. Hahaha
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 3:50 PM
Hmm. Did my question about my previous question not make it through either?
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 4:43 PM
must have cuz I'm not sure what you mean
Steven • July 18, 2019 - 4:44 PM
What do you mean?
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 4:44 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 4:45 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 4:45 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 4:46 PM
That was the original question. The last one
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 4:46 PM
Yah that's the plan. Still no Jose. However I've got it lined up
Steven • July 18, 2019 - 4:49 PM
Just fine tuning the meet
Steven • July 18, 2019 - 4:50 PM
Sweet. I'm just now leaving work.
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 4:51 PM
Got to order some groceries and make something for dinner. I'll save you some.
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 4:51 PM
What is the certification you are going to be trained for starting next week?
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 5:32 PM
Servsafe
Steven • July 18, 2019 - 5:32 PM
Thanks
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 5:32 PM
ServSafe Manager? Food Handler, Alcohol, Allergens, or Workplace?
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 5:36 PM
Yea
Steven • July 18, 2019 - 5:37 PM
All of it
Steven • July 18, 2019 - 5:38 PM
I will be ServSafe certified for manager food service I don't think I have to worry about alcohol because I'm not in an alcohol serving establishment and all of it
Steven • July 18, 2019 - 5:38 PM
What??? I thought they were each individual certifications with separate exams
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 5:38 PM
Wow.
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 5:38 PM
That's really awesome if the store is paying for that
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 5:39 PM
they can be if you're only trying to get certain certification but in order to get your strength for a restaurant to drop you need to have three fully ServSafe certified people and I'm like the alternate for manager I get to be one of those people wish I could be great on my resume is valid for five years they cost like five or six hundred dollars to do and I'm getting it for free
Steven • July 18, 2019 - 5:39 PM
That's awesome
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 5:39 PM
I'm putting it on the resume. I'm guessing you are going for the Aug 26 exam date?
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 5:40 PM
I believe so
Steven • July 18, 2019 - 5:41 PM
Do you already have a ServSafe account?
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 5:42 PM
I'm not sure. I can't remember when I got it before if I had if I did it online or if I did it in person. It was like six and a half years ago.
Steven • July 18, 2019 - 5:43 PM
No worries.
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 5:43 PM
Thanks for the info
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 5:43 PM
Mind if I ask if you have a general timeline in mind for tonight?
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 7:54 PM
How goes it?
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 10:57 PM
I'm not going to be able to believe that every single one of my messages are getting lost.
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 11:03 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 11:12 PM

Quintin • July 18, 2019 - 11:13 PM

Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 8:00 AM
You received a picture.
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 8:01 AM
Bad picture
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 8:01 AM
Bad angle, lighting, glasslesses
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 8:02 AM
All bad
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 8:02 AM
Not your best, but it'll do in a pinch. 😉
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 8:02 AM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 8:03 AM
One bad turn deserves another. Here ya go.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 8:03 AM
You're right I kind of do look like I just got benched
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 8:04 AM
Pinched
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 8:04 AM
Ha!
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 8:04 AM
You received a picture.
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 9:09 AM
I'll show you what it looks to be pinched.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 11:23 AM
Damn, this day flew by! I'm so ready for tonight!
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 3:27 PM
Freedom!
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 4:24 PM
So, looks like I can't Zip Car there tonight. Gonna have to bus.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 4:26 PM
Is it just the 500? Or do I need to transfer?
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 4:32 PM
I guess I can look that up myself. I'm just excited about tonight.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 4:34 PM
Transfer 901.
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 4:50 PM
So I'm just finishing up at work then I'm going to go to my friend's house. I'll be at his house by about 6:00 so yeah I will be home probably about 8:30 or 9:00 I think.
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 4:52 PM
Okay, great!
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 4:53 PM
I'll wait to hear from you that you are on your way, and then I'll leave for the bus stop accordingly.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 4:53 PM
Probably a wise decision
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 4:54 PM
I won't be able to bring much laundry since I'll be bussing. But if you don't mind, I'd like to see if I can at least get a load of work clothes done.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 4:54 PM
Iago is coughing and wheezing like he's trying to throw up a hairball or something he ate. He never does this, and it's kinda scaring me, because I can't afford to take him to the vet if I need to.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 4:56 PM
You're still okay with me coming over tonight, right? If you want to be left alone, it's cool. I won't fall to pieces or pout. Pinky swear.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 5:08 PM
Unless you ditch me to go do fuckery again, in which case you might want to check and see if they can put you into some kind of witness protection program and erase your identity, because I won't be held responsible for the eruption of horror that will envelope me and send flames barrelling outward from my levitating body as my righteous fire finds and burns you from the inside out in an all consuming tempest of rage.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 5:12 PM
So, don't do that.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 5:12 PM
I'm sure he's okay. And yah of course you can. Just
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 5:13 PM
Just...
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 5:14 PM
...don't burn out your eyeballs and tender bits with my fiery wrath?
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 5:15 PM
No promises!
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 5:15 PM
I don't know what "just" is there for
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 5:16 PM
Ok. Then I retract my ending of that sentence until such time as it is proven not to be needed. Hahaha
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 5:17 PM
:]
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 5:21 PM
I know, I know. You're not a fan of that line of discussion. Don't worry. I'm not buggin.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 5:22 PM
Just never ever ever ever do that to me again, and we'll eventually be able to stop making references to it. 😐
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 5:23 PM
Deal?🤗
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 5:24 PM
You received a GIF.
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 5:24 PM

Steven • July 19, 2019 - 5:24 PM
You ain't seent me bug, boo.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 5:25 PM
Bugaboo
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 5:25 PM
You sent a GIF.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 5:43 PM
And, yes, you technically did not accept that deal, so you probably think that means you aren't bound by it. And you're right. You don't have to abide by any rules or set of acceptable behaviors toward a true friend.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 5:43 PM
Oh fuck. If I leave at 8, it's going to be 10:45 before I get there, AND I have to walk a mile from the last stop.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 7:27 PM
I'm just going to Uber with my last money in the bank and bus back
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 7:27 PM
I'm not wasting all that time that could be spent high and having fun.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 7:28 PM
Hmm. Or maybe it'll be 10:45 before I know when to leave anyway.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 7:55 PM
I'm heading home now.
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 8:08 PM
If it takes me 2 hours on the bus, what time should I leave to get there?
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 8:09 PM
Now
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 8:10 PM
Or if it only takes 26 mins by Uber, then when should I leave?
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 8:10 PM
9
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 8:10 PM
Do I need to give you time to wash yourself?
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 8:11 PM
Hardy har harr
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 8:12 PM
For serious though! I don't want my first experience with DMT to be spent smelling some dude's ass all over my tour guide.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 8:13 PM
I need to meet the goddess with nothing ill on my tongue or my mind
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 8:13 PM
ill
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 8:14 PM
I haven't had any sex, so yeah
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 8:15 PM
Don't be offended. It's a perfectly natural assumption.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 8:16 PM
Didn't your mom ever tell you what happens when you ASSuME
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 8:17 PM
It makes an ass out of you and me
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 8:17 PM
Ass
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 8:17 PM
Yeah. You make everybody in the room smell like ass.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 8:17 PM
We must have had very different upbringings
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 8:18 PM
So I messaged her that you'll be out in a couple minutes
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 8:51 PM
2 minutes
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 8:51 PM
She took a wrong turn
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 8:51 PM
You received a picture.
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 8:52 PM
Bluish mazda
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 8:53 PM

Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 8:54 PM
She's there
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 8:54 PM
Sweet
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 8:54 PM
Stopping at little Caesars?
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 8:54 PM
If you want to get 2 pizzas that's cool. Your call
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 8:55 PM
Is it ordered?
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 8:55 PM
If you place the order I'll pay for it when I get there
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 8:55 PM
No,they have drive thru
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 8:55 PM
Ok
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 8:56 PM
Pepperoni pizza, crazy bread, and you like Pepsi?
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 8:57 PM
Yeah but if you want you could also get the extra most bestest Pizza it's got sausage
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 8:58 PM
Is that what it's called??
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 8:58 PM
Yes, that one that's pepperoni and one that sausage
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 8:59 PM
Wait. So two pizzas. 1 pepperoni, 1 sausage? And crazy bread? And Pepsi.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 9:00 PM
That's your call at least one pizza and crazy bread and maybe a soda. Second pizza is your call
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 9:00 PM
Making sure I don't get anything wrong. This was suddenly a whirlwind.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 9:00 PM
Got it.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 9:01 PM
If so, waffle-pizza for breakfast
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 9:01 PM
Hahaha
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 9:01 PM
Or pizza-waffle if you'd prefer
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 9:01 PM
I do
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 9:01 PM
Double check that she's cool going to the drive thru
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 9:02 PM
She is.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 9:03 PM
Cool.
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 9:03 PM
Someone wants to buy some mushrooms
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 9:05 PM
Should I put him of till tomorrow?
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 9:05 PM
How much time will it take?
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 9:05 PM
Not sure. He's into drumming and barter faire.
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 9:06 PM
So yah, tomorrow.

Steven • July 19, 2019 - 9:08 PM
So, I placed the order, but they are way backed up, so we have to wait like 15 mins for the pizza. I told her I'd tip her in cash.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 9:16 PM
Eek. I'm sorry. I'll give you the money when you get to my place
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 9:17 PM
Don't sweat it
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 9:17 PM
It's all good
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 9:17 PM
Hey, I didn't get a chance to look at any videos like I planned to get myself prepared for DMT. It's not going to be a shit fest is it?
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 9:18 PM
Like, literally.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 9:18 PM
Because I know Ayahuasca does that, and I fear and respect it and all, but dang.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 9:19 PM
The reason Ayahuasca makes you shit yourself is cuz the barks have laxative effects. This is a distillate made from extract that it's pretty short-lived it's only about 30 minutes start to finish it is pretty fucking intense though I haven't done it off the pen so I don't know we'll see
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 9:26 PM
I already like to pretend my body doesn't do that, and you saw how mortified I was when my body called me a liar. So I'm hoping no bark got in there. Hahaha
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 9:28 PM
This poor lady. I feel bad. She says she's going to call it a night after she drops me off. Make sure you give her all the stars afterwards.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 9:30 PM
Absolutely. Offer her a soda or something or an order of crazy bread
Steven • July 19, 2019 - 9:31 PM
We're on our way.
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 9:32 PM
Door's open, I'm using the facilities.

Ok
Quintin • July 19, 2019 - 9:35 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 5:21 AM
THIS dude and his fuckin' Latino bf?! THAT'S who you had over after I fled the scene the other night?? Sketchy & Gross.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 5:21 AM
Yah. Thought his man was just light skinned. But yeah. Nope. Aren't welcome here again.
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 5:23 AM
So I was thinking if we try this again on a higher temperature on a slightly more powerful pain maybe the trip will be a little more intense
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 5:25 AM
When?
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 5:25 AM
I'm not sure when I'll be able to come back over here.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 5:26 AM
Sometime
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 5:26 AM
How's your day been?
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 3:05 PM
Ok. Yours?
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 3:05 PM
Everything ok?
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 3:09 PM
Um, just so you know, we have a pretty shitty record when it comes to weird, unexplained silences on Saturday afternoons. I no like
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 3:18 PM
Haha, right, sorry dozed off on the bus. Still on it.
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 3:19 PM
You're off work already?
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 3:20 PM
Indeed.
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 3:20 PM
How was your shift?
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 3:20 PM
Already out of Seattle.
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 3:20 PM
Wow!
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 3:20 PM
Nice.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 3:21 PM
Meh
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 3:21 PM
With most of the beautiful day to enjoy.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 3:21 PM
Meh
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 3:21 PM
😕
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 3:22 PM
So, what are you gonna do with your day?
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 3:24 PM
Little Mary Sunshine?
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 3:24 PM
Make up for the Saturday you ruined for your good friend+ last weekend, you say? Aw, buddy! That's sweet of you, but you don't have to. Really.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 3:28 PM
I'm debating between walking home or waiting a half-hour. Walking from the transit center that is.
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 3:44 PM
Yikes
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 3:44 PM
I did it earlier this week and I beat the bus by like 4 minutes. I don't know if I want to walk that far right now.
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 3:44 PM
Well that sounds strangely unrelated to making up for past Saturday debacles, but maybe I'm just not seeing the big picture.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 3:46 PM
LOL
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 3:48 PM
I've got good jokes for that comment. But they wouldn't translate well via text.
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 3:49 PM
Hmm
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 3:49 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 3:49 PM
I'm going to take a nap I think. I'm beat.
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 3:50 PM
Cool. Well, enjoy your afternoon. I'm going to find some way to occupy myself and keep myself busy.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 3:51 PM
Honestly I kinda' want to cancel the plans I have and just sleep.
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 3:51 PM
But nope. I learned my lesson about sleep.
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 3:52 PM
I'm not to be sleeping any more!
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 3:52 PM
Especially on Saturdays.
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 3:52 PM
So, do to Don what you did to me, but with the added politeness of a phone call? That sounds almost courteous.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 3:52 PM
Lucky guy, that Don.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 3:53 PM
Almost
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 3:53 PM
🖕
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 3:54 PM
He wouldn't go to the hysterical places you sent me to, though, so it isn't quite the same.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 3:54 PM
Fuck me? No. Fuck you, big boy.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 3:55 PM
LOL
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 3:55 PM
Check out this glass office table for $15 on OfferUp https://offerup.co/sUGSLggluY
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 3:55 PM
Nice.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 3:56 PM
How much more furniture do you need in that apartment, though?
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 3:57 PM
Not judging. Just curious what the capacity looks like in your mind.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 3:57 PM
Trying to find something to do to keep me from dwelling on the fact that both of my prospects for afternoon sucky fucky time ghosted me.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 4:07 PM
I'm changing the working title of my autobiography to, "I Douched My Ass For THIS?!"
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 4:08 PM
"An Anthology Of Fucks Not Given".
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 4:10 PM
You'd purchase that, right? If you were walking past a bookstore window and saw that title shouting out at you in utter frustration and hopelessness?
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 4:14 PM
Sorry. You're no longer part of the equation that's causing this angst, but if you really still want to be besties, I'm afraid you're still doomed to hear me bitch and complain about it, even if you are super good at skimming right over most of it.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 4:16 PM
I was suggesting the for you. And sorry for delay, on phone with my sister.
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 4:20 PM
Suggesting the what?
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 4:20 PM
Oh, the glass table
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 4:21 PM
Yeah, it's cool. But I can't afford it right now, nor do I have anywhere to store it
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 4:21 PM
I could store it.
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 4:22 PM
You barely have any floor left as it is.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 4:22 PM
Thanks for thinking of me, though, man.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 4:22 PM
Book title? Catchy?
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 4:31 PM
I could story? Or are you asking me to come up with one? I don't understand? I don't understand!
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 4:36 PM
sigh
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 4:37 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 4:38 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 4:38 PM
Have a good nap. Catch you later in the week.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 4:38 PM
You received a picture.
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 4:45 PM
You received a picture.
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 4:45 PM
You received a picture.
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 4:45 PM
Are you illustrating your point that I send too much?
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 4:46 PM
Nope
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 4:47 PM
illustrating that I saw the messages. Verifying if you will, that we have synchronized our messages
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 4:48 PM
Aah.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 4:49 PM
Cool.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 4:49 PM
And that you now understand the context of the question about the title?
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 4:49 PM
Like some people on special missions do with their whatches
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 4:49 PM
okay I read that but for some reason I didn't get the question out of it. I'm sorry my brain was kind of listening to my sister talk. That being said, no I don't think that's a great title. I think it'd be a great title for a chapter or a section or sub-section. I think a great name for title would be hahrumphhff!
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 4:53 PM
With a little push button noise maker like they have in those Hallmark cards that makes the noise hahrumphhff!
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 4:53 PM
Well that sounds like a real page-turner.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 4:55 PM
I think so! Chapter one - "Fuck! You're pregnant?" As quoted from Daddy of Quintin.
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 4:56 PM
I guess it probably does come closest to summarizing my general demeanor these days.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 4:56 PM
And......
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 4:57 PM
Harrumph hfg
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 4:57 PM
Hahahaha
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 4:57 PM
The cover is just a close up hole pic.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 4:59 PM
Like thirty thousand times magnification on one spoke
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 4:59 PM
To prove how underutilized it remains.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 5:00 PM
Maybe that's what I need to put up on all my profiles. Anything to help differentiate my hole from the hundreds of other holes on the market.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 5:03 PM
What was the word I said I was having tattooed across my ass cheeks to indicate how fancy my ass is?
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 5:35 PM
I forget already
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 5:35 PM
And I'm here at the tattoo shop now, but drawing a blank!
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 5:39 PM
Nevermind.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 7:35 PM
Guess this will be the first test of my new resolve not to give a damn about you fucking inside the radius. (deep breaths)
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 7:36 PM
HOLD UP!!!
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 7:37 PM
You're using a picture you took in MY bathroom to pull trade? Ha! Talk about twisted. LOL
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 7:37 PM
🖕
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 7:37 PM
Guess it's probably best if I just block you now.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 7:40 PM
Otherwise Saturdays will seem to take on a pattern that I don't care to repeat. Ever.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 7:41 PM
Bye.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 7:42 PM
Wait what?
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 8:07 PM
What picture? In my unlocked album?
Steven • July 20, 2019 - 8:08 PM
Sniffies
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 8:08 PM
It's all good. I'm not freaking out on you over anything.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 8:09 PM
I don't care. Just thought it was ironic.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 8:10 PM
Plus, I already blocked your profile so I don't have to see when you're looking for ass nearby. See? I'm all better.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 8:12 PM
It's actually much more frustrating being ignored than you wanting to fuck other guys. Not saying it hurts, because we don't do that anymore. But it does fuel a little fire 🔥 and a smidge of anger and disappointment.
Quintin • July 20, 2019 - 8:21 PM
Okay so I wasn't ignoring. I just saw a whole bunch of those texts and didn't have the mental strength to carry on...... So I died for some hours then buried my phone, levitated, spent 60 days on hold for costumer care. Read the pamphlet, cursed a nurse.
Steven • July 21, 2019 - 9:47 AM
Then woke up
Steven • July 21, 2019 - 9:47 AM
Hey yo yo hey
Steven • July 21, 2019 - 3:40 PM
You realize that is the very definition of ignore, right? If you don't want to deal with me, just say so. You won't have to, and I won't expect you to.
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 6:18 PM
If that's the kind of "Put on Hold" friendship you want this to be, where you get to decide when all the talking is done and I get to be subject to whether you're willing to put up with me, maybe we should both be shopping for a better fit in friends.
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 6:23 PM
If you are going to be that manic, flighty asshole from the Bronx all evening, I will stab you with the first utensil they put in my hand.
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 6:45 PM
Fair enough
Steven • July 21, 2019 - 6:54 PM
What's up? How you doing?
Steven • July 21, 2019 - 7:59 PM
You guys go on and have dinner. I'm never going to be able to make this mess into something presentable.
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 8:00 PM
I look ridiculous in everything I own.
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 8:01 PM
That's not true and I'm just wearing jeans and a t-shirt and a cowboy shirt with a ball cap. Don's got on shorts and a t-shirt don't worry.
Steven • July 21, 2019 - 8:02 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 8:03 PM
Also, I'm poor.
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 8:03 PM
I'd kinda like the first time I meet my best friend's lover to be on equal footing so I don't feel like a penniless sitar player.
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 8:04 PM
I got your dinner.
Steven • July 21, 2019 - 8:05 PM
Or if you really don't want to tonight I understand
Steven • July 21, 2019 - 8:05 PM
Like I get not wanting to be looked at like that. He wouldn't anyways, but I get you.
Steven • July 21, 2019 - 8:06 PM
Aren't you the least bit terrified of this?
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 8:06 PM
So yes or no?
Steven • July 21, 2019 - 8:06 PM
Not at all
Steven • July 21, 2019 - 8:06 PM
It's dinner
Steven • July 21, 2019 - 8:06 PM
Fine, yes. Okay. I'm ready.
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 8:06 PM
Ok, will be there shortly
Steven • July 21, 2019 - 8:07 PM
So that you can fully appreciate the amount of stress I am undergoing in order to do this, I will remind you that the number one thing at the very top of the "Things That Terrify Quintin And Turn Him Into A Thumb-Sucking Baby" list is not knowing about things that involve me, such as conversations about me between people I know and people I don't know. It literally drives me insane. I have no control over what is said and no ability to change or improve any criticism that might be raised in those situations. It sucks! And here I am about to sit down at a table where I know for a fact that those conversations have happened. So bear with me. I'm a little bit nervous.
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 8:17 PM
Which is why I really need you to be you without the mania, because if you seem nervous, I'm going to be ten times worse.
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 8:19 PM
Canary?
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 8:21 PM
If you want.
Steven • July 21, 2019 - 8:21 PM
Another night then?
Steven • July 21, 2019 - 8:22 PM
No! I'm as prepared as I can be.
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 8:22 PM
Let's get this shit show done.
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 8:22 PM
Canary is your card to play when you don't want to deal with me. Not the other way around.
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 8:23 PM
Pigeon
Steven • July 21, 2019 - 8:24 PM
I'm taking a hit of G to calm my ass down.
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 8:24 PM
Out front
Steven • July 21, 2019 - 8:42 PM
On my way.
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 8:42 PM
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 10:09 PM
Please apologize to Don for me if I came across as rude or aloof. I was doing my best, but fell short of being the character I should have been and that he deserved for having extended an invitation to dinner.
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 10:26 PM
Sorry.
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 10:27 PM
Do not worry about that. Nobody thought that you were rude or aloof, just a goof and a doof.
Steven • July 21, 2019 - 10:53 PM
Haha jokes
Steven • July 21, 2019 - 10:53 PM
😒
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 10:53 PM
Cute.
Steven • July 21, 2019 - 10:54 PM
Thought you were\are.
Steven • July 21, 2019 - 10:54 PM
I've got company at the moment, so I can't talk, but let's figure out how and when to hang out like you said so that we don't each have too much time apart for the hate monster to fill with other shit
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 10:55 PM
Not sure how it will work logistically, since I have to work and neither of us drives at the moment. Could be a while before I can manage the cost of Lyfting back and forth.
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 10:56 PM
Think about it and we'll touch base tomorrow or something.
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 10:57 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 11:25 PM
You're the only person I could think of who would appreciate the ironic hilarity of my bending over butt naked to vacuum cat litter off the bathroom floor and presenting Moriarty with an up close and personal view of my hole in his face.
Quintin • July 21, 2019 - 11:25 PM
Ok. Company gone. You still up?
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 2:18 AM
Boo. Guess not. Sorry to text so late. I guess try to hit me up today if you want. I'm going to be leading some meetings for a big part of the day, but will try to chat on breaks or at lunch to figure out how and when we can hang out again. If it's not tonight, I'm guessing it may not be until next weekend or after. 😕
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 2:24 AM
I am well and truly fucked.
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 4:51 AM
And in case you mistook that as mere braggadocio, let me assure you it is not. I don't think my paycheck is going to be enough to cover all of my move in costs because of the day and a half of leave I took last week. Looks like I may be around $150 short of rent and 1/2 deposit. And that's my whole check for two weeks.
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 6:15 AM
Unless I can convince him to postpone the deposit until the 9th. If so, then it will be okay.
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 6:16 AM
Sorry. I know it's your day off, and you guys are probably sleeping in. I just didn't have anyone else to vent this panic to. I'll leave you alone until later.
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 6:18 AM
Any thoughts on logistics or anything?
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 11:08 AM
Or am I on pause?
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 11:08 AM
I'm beginning to see the root cause of your being overwhelmed by the number of messages from me, and it's at least partly due to the infrequency with which they are read/responded to. 😟
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 11:10 AM
You effed up when you chose a communicator as a friend.
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 11:11 AM
Please don't be upset. I just woke up. Not ignoring or anything like that
Steven • July 22, 2019 - 11:26 AM
I'm not upset
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 11:41 AM
I'm sorry I've got you so used to being on the defensive. It says a lot about how often I must go off on you without cause, and for that I apologize. Hopefully I can undo that in coming weeks now that we are what we are and such.
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 11:47 AM
You're good. We'll be fine.
Steven • July 22, 2019 - 11:49 AM
Of course.
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 11:49 AM
So, my lunch break is almost over. Did you want to talk about how, when, or if we're going to try and hang out?
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 12:43 PM
If not, it's fine, we just need to figure it out if it's going to be tonight. If it isn't, then there's obviously no rush.
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 12:44 PM
So I'm listening to the neighbors fight.
Steven • July 22, 2019 - 1:31 PM
Fun
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 1:32 PM
I'm back in the office wanting to stab a developer in his eyeballs prison fast.
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 1:32 PM
Do it joker style from The dark Knight. Stabbing pain into the desk first and then slam his head onto the pain
Steven • July 22, 2019 - 1:37 PM
Have we met before? Do you actually see me ever doing that? Me? Captain Conflict Avoider? The Caped Evader?
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 1:38 PM
So... nothing on the subject of the day?
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 3:17 PM
I'm beginning to think that maybe you want some time off from me. Understandable.
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 3:18 PM
And if you do, I hope you would feel comfortable telling me so. I can take it. 😁
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 3:19 PM
I'll say this much though... My days of typing thoughtfully worded messages to your silence are numbered. It's demeaning in a way for you to have all the power in whether or not I'm heard (read) at any given time, and I guess what I'm saying is that if I can't count on you caring about what I have to say at least enough to acknowledge it, then I'll just stop saying anything and only respond if and when you instigate a conversation.
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 3:24 PM
But you kind of bring these piles of words on yourself. 😆
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 3:25 PM
So, now that I've probably driven your phone down into the couch, I'll use the final few seconds of my last break of the day to go ahead and give up on trying to make any plans to see you tonight, this week, the month of July, and I'll just wait for you to want to see me badly enough to participate in the discussion. I'm not upset, BTW. I'm simply taking what I perceive as the facts and forming a plan that I feel is equitable and fair to me. Plain math. Holla at a boy when you want some time with him. Maybe he'll have some to give.
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 3:30 PM
Well, friend, I'm not gonna lie. You disappointed me mightily today. But, if nothing else, I guess I finally learned my importance and value to you. Ouch.
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 6:14 PM
Okay homeboy, I actually thought I had messaged earlier but it was still sitting in my drafts. Sorry about that. I'm just heading back to my house from the lake with Deanna. If you'd like
Steven • July 22, 2019 - 6:16 PM
I'll call you when I'm home
Steven • July 22, 2019 - 6:16 PM
If we're talking about what I want, it's simple: to be given the tiniest heads up that you are going to be otherwise occupied for a while rather than letting me pile up messages like a crazy person that you will then be mad about and make me feel bad, too. Is it that hard to show me that little bit of respect?
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 6:22 PM
You can call or do whatever you want when you get home, buddy. I'll be here.
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 6:22 PM
You haven't said when to send it
Steven • July 22, 2019 - 7:21 PM
Sorry. Almost packed
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 7:22 PM
Okay no worries
Steven • July 22, 2019 - 7:22 PM
Just let me know when
Steven • July 22, 2019 - 7:24 PM
Ready
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 7:25 PM
It'll be there in 4 minutes
Steven • July 22, 2019 - 7:27 PM
Black Chevy Impala
Steven • July 22, 2019 - 7:27 PM
Nice
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 7:27 PM
Koshawn
Steven • July 22, 2019 - 7:27 PM
K
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 7:27 PM
That's the guys name
Steven • July 22, 2019 - 7:27 PM
Thanks
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 7:27 PM
Co-Steven
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 7:27 PM
Maybe I'll tempt him with my irresistible charms on the ride over.
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 7:28 PM
That make me such a danger.
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 7:28 PM
😁
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 7:28 PM
Indeed
Steven • July 22, 2019 - 7:29 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 7:29 PM
He is there
Steven • July 22, 2019 - 7:31 PM
I'm in the car
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 7:31 PM
Blue car
Steven • July 22, 2019 - 7:31 PM
He and I are hitting it off already
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 7:32 PM
I'm sorry for going off on you earlier. I feel like I've been two people the past week, and sometimes I lose track of which one I'm supposed to be.
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 7:34 PM
And it's hard, like HARD, not to feel like second choice, even though I know that's not always the case.
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 7:35 PM
It's like, I know my part perfectly, then I sleep and reset something, and I wake up back in the previous frame of mind until I snap myself back out of it usually after already doing some damage.
Quintin • July 22, 2019 - 7:37 PM
And I see I'm already five long texts into the flood zone, so I'll put a cork in it for now.

Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 6:09 AM
I say, I WON'T BE TEXTING YOU!!!
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 7:44 AM
Oh and why not?
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 8:01 AM
So you don't have to get flustered by too much communication leading up to your job interview!
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 8:02 AM
No worries, Rory covered that in the last few minutes
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 8:02 AM
Just know I'm sending supportive vibes through the air across town and up to you so that you know you're gonna kick ass and take names.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 8:03 AM
Or is it lick ass under a fake name? Either way, go get em, boo!
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 8:03 AM
Danks
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 8:05 AM
All done at DR.
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 10:16 AM
Next appointment Oct 15
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 10:16 AM
Nice. No cooties?
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 10:16 AM
That was hella quick!
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 10:17 AM
I need to make an appointment to see my regular doctor soon, but I think I'll wait until after the move.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 10:18 AM
Got a hep a\b booster today
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 10:24 AM
Awesome. I feel safer around you already. It's ironic, people are so scared shitless of catching my HIV, which they can't, when they just have to give me one little infection of anything, and I could literally die.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 10:48 AM
Crazy upside-down world.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 10:49 AM
🎵Yeah I really do think...🎶
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 11:27 AM
Said as Alanis morisette
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 11:27 AM
It's like Ray e aain on your blah blah blah, it's a screetch e skrretch
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 11:28 AM
It's like a free ri-i-i-ide when you've already paid!
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 11:29 AM
One night soon, maybe after Rory heads back up to his sister's, may I please reserve an evening of cuddling? That's still within the realm of neutral friend-type stuff, right?
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 11:34 AM
Haha, I think so.
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 11:37 AM
I think I can make this thing work if I can still get hugged and touched and made to feel comforted. It was never as much about the sex as I made it out to be, really. So, yeah. If that's cool with you and doesn't make you uncomfortable, I would really like that. Like, a lot.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 11:39 AM
And of course, if you do start to get creeped out or too much something else, I will understand.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 11:43 AM
Always creeped out, that's why I am still around. Duh..... Haha. Stop overthinking. We're good. All that BS from before was\is trivial. I'm not in the head space I was. And now I feel we both are looking at the whole situation from the same vantage. Opinions may still differ in areas, so what? I'll be open more, you'll shut up some. Haha (meant sarcastically) We good.
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 11:49 AM
I just want to make sure that I don't ever do something that ends up causing you to do again to me what you did the day of pride and the day/night after. Ever.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 11:52 AM
Don't forget to fill me in on your interview! I've got my fingers crossed!
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 2:45 PM
Also, if you're interested, I'm having a week's worth of groceries delivered today from Dinnerly.com. each of the five meals has 2 servings of each portion, and I'm happy to share it with you if you aren't afraid of my cooking. 😉
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 2:47 PM
So I'm going to call and cancel interview
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 2:53 PM
What? Why??
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 2:53 PM
Is everything ok?
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 2:53 PM
I was mistaken on what I thought this place was, it's fast food I'm not going to take two steps back in my career I hold out for another few days after on some resumes I'll probably get some more calls and I'll throw some more out in the next couple days
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 2:54 PM
Now I'm going to go be irresponsible and go look at H&M cuz they're having a 75% off sale
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 2:54 PM
Aah. Well, I don't blame you for that.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 2:54 PM
I was afraid to take anything lower than my previous position at Dell after they laid me off last year, because I knew I'd never be able to negotiate my salary and perks back if I did.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 2:55 PM
I don't know. I just if I go here I love working here all the freaking time because it's the kind of person I am and then I'll end up being a manager at a fucking fast food joint again nope I'm going to hold out, I filled out a McMenamins application
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 2:57 PM
And there's a couple others in there
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 2:57 PM
You should come for dinner, and we can go drop resumes at Stir and the straight owned gay bar.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 2:58 PM
You can choose which one I cook! I emailed the menu to you.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 3:13 PM
Maybe. I'm kinda beat. Lemme go home and wake up some.
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 3:15 PM
Not trying to be a stick in the mud.
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 3:15 PM
Oh. Okay then. Just let me know.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 3:18 PM
So that I don't wait unnecessarily while you wrestle with the decision.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 3:19 PM
I will
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 3:44 PM
Yeah I'm just now getting off the bus to get home for the evening. I think I'm going to stay home tonight. rain check for later in the week?
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 5:18 PM
Yeah, sure.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:24 PM
I'm sorry.
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 5:25 PM
Sorry I kept you up all night.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:25 PM
No, it's cool. I get it.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:25 PM
I'll come over if you really want me to.
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 5:25 PM
Don't do that. You know already how much I'd like you to come and spend time with me, so it's not fair to pit my wants against my manners. If you do, that would make me the asshole.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:26 PM
I'm not cut out for that.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:26 PM
Am I the asshole?
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 5:26 PM
Wait don't answer that.
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 5:26 PM
Not that not coming makes you an asshole!
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:26 PM
LOL
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:27 PM
Well...
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:27 PM
Not all the time!
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:27 PM
Just when you reach that point where you can't deal with all that is facing you, and maybe now and then when you get horny. Or want distraction.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:28 PM
Or want to punish someone.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:28 PM
Or...
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:28 PM
Oy
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 5:29 PM
But you're also a very sweet guy the rest of the time.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:30 PM
Or I wouldn't have gotten accidentally smitten.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:30 PM
Thank you
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 5:30 PM
That was sweet of you to say.
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 5:30 PM
Just speaking truth. You are a good guy.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:31 PM
Most of the time.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:31 PM
You run yourself ragged making people happy, and you put yourself last when it counts.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:32 PM
If the flip side of that is the occasional episode of selfishness or cruelty bred from exasperation, I'd say it's kind of expected.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:33 PM
And yet still never seem to make anyone happy.
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 5:33 PM
No one can be sweet, charitable, kind, and giving of themselves around the clock 24/7/365 without being named Quintin Seamus Kelly.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:34 PM
You can't make everyone happy. And it's not your job to do so.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:34 PM
You can make some people happy most of the time, or most people happy some of the time, but you'll never make all of the people happy all of the time.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:35 PM
I'm sorry that I so frequently make you feel like you're hurting me. You have been, for the most part, one of the most patient, accommodating, and dare I say, loving friends I've ever had the privilege of not having romantic entanglement with.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:37 PM
Thank you. No worries
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 5:43 PM
I'm often just too greedy about the time I can never seem to get enough of around you, and even though I know sometimes you'd rather have a night to yourself at home or balls deep in a pair of twunky otters, you often still make that time available to me. I should be more grateful for the time I get, and not be so ever present in your day to day so as to be a source of constant irritation at times. I'm sorry, and I'm working on that. Promise.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:43 PM
No worries.
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 5:44 PM
You are fine
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 5:44 PM
Now if I can just get you to stop bending the truth over a barrel of technicalities and raping it in front of me when you try to hide those other activities from me, things would be damned near awesome.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:45 PM
So, I'm not going to cook tonight just for myself. I'll wait until you have time to come over or if you want me to come and cook there for you, I can do that too. I know it may be a while before Rory leaves, so I'm guessing I won't see much of you until next week when I have to move.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:47 PM
Which is totally fine. Take the time to be the friend Rory needs you to be, and don't worry about your old pal Quintin.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:49 PM
Unless he texts you in a panic and needs you, too. Then please pay attention to him!
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:50 PM
And I want you to know that even though I'm cutting you all this slack and piling the compliments on you like crazy, it takes exactly 1 stray thought back to myself throwing up a bottle of GHB for me to go right back to being livid with you to the point of full on rage. So I guess you're not completely exonerated just yet and have some serious making that whole thing better ahead of you. If you understand what I'm sayin'.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 5:57 PM
I see you are gonna conveniently leave that last bit unaddressed. 😆 Surprise, surprise! Hahaha Fine. Be that guy right now. Get some sleep. 🤗
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 6:10 PM
I got it.
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 6:15 PM
Oh, I figured you did. It was your lack of response to it I found humorous.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 6:16 PM
I was cuddling with Bob. Sorry some things take priority haha
Steven • July 23, 2019 - 6:17 PM
🙄 another man in your life getting the things I want from you. Go figure.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 6:18 PM
I changed my mind. I miss ya. 😄 Come let me feed you.
Quintin • July 23 2019 - 7:59 PM
I'll cook you a delicious meal and feed you cannabis candies for dessert.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 8:09 PM
Ok, so maybe after your little nap?
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 8:50 PM
Midnight snack? 🥺
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 9:48 PM
Then I suppose a rim job is out of the question. 😩
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 10:01 PM
You sent a video.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 10:07 PM
You sent a video.
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 10:08 PM
A dick pic and directions to someone who cares?
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 11:03 PM
A fart from afar and a whispered "Go fuck yourself, Quint!" into a text message?
Quintin • July 23, 2019 - 11:38 PM
A middle finger and at least try to wet dream about me?
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 12:54 AM
I'm guessing you're going to tell me you passed out and slept through the night on the couch. It's becoming one of my favorite stories of yours.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 1:32 AM
Ooh! How about I imagine a continental breakfast, and you kick me in the nuts and call me a faggot?
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 6:47 AM
Actually no I went to bed in my bed
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 6:51 AM
I text you last time I can get up after that
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 6:51 AM
I didn't get up not I can get
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 6:52 AM
Ok, final offer. I boil some water, and then let you pour it down the front of my pants while laughing at me?
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 6:52 AM
Slept from probably about 7 until now.
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 6:52 AM
Morning!
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 6:52 AM
Why would you do that?
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 6:52 AM
Just trying to find an enticing enough offer to get your interest. 😊
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 6:53 AM
And how dare you pull a plot twist on my favorite story like that? Bed? The nerve!
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 6:54 AM
You don't mess with the classics, boo.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 6:56 AM
That's just bedtime story 101.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 6:56 AM
:-/ Seems my humor isn't winning you over. Sorry.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 7:14 AM
Have a good day at work.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 7:53 AM
No you're good man. I just got up kind of late so I panicked and was rushing around
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 7:54 AM
You too man. I'm now on the bus and not panicky anymore ish
Steven • July 24, 2019 -7:54 AM
(and you know I was joking with all that through the night, right?)
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 7:54 AM
When there's time, hopefully soon ish, I'd like to sit down and plan out the logistics of the move.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 7:55 AM
I know you're occupied the next several days, but maybe via phone?
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 7:56 AM
Indeed
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 7:58 AM
Next week's schedule isn't up yet I'm betting. But I'll talk to Frank about maybe working a double Friday and get wed off so I can help mon tues and wed all day. Did you want me to ask Don if he'll help?
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 8:00 AM
I'll go ahead and give you my sincere blanket apology for the monster I'm very likely to become as the stress of the move gets heavier and closer. Nothing mean, bitchy, or shouty is meant .
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:00 AM
If not I won't bring it up at all around him. He'll offer
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 8:00 AM
No thanks!
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:01 AM
Ok. Just checking
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 8:01 AM
My friend, Vinny, is also going to come up from Portland.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:01 AM
I have to figure out what to do with him.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:01 AM
There is a guy talking to himself, in front of me. I think he is sending himself to a home and is pissed about it
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 8:02 AM
I might leave him in my apartment with the cats and a mattress until Tuesday.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:02 AM
P I S S E D !
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 8:02 AM
Hahahaha
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:02 AM
Ok
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 8:02 AM
Haha
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 8:02 AM
But I would be remiss if I had Vinny in my grasp and didn't try my best to finally get into his pants. I drooled over this man for two years when he was my nextdoor neighbor in Louisiana.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:04 AM
So make that the mattress and a bottle of lube.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:06 AM
Thank you for wanting to take time off to help me, but I don't want you to have to work a double or to lose any hours. You need the hours.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:10 AM
And thank you for being cognizant of my feelings regarding your lover helping me move. My stress level is already going to be bordering on stroke territory.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:11 AM
Exactly. If I work a double it's more. On Wednesday I usually work 10 to 3 ish, a doing on Friday or Saturday would be 10 til 8ish. More picked up then lost
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 8:12 AM
Okay
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:12 AM
I mean, if that's what you want.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:12 AM
Would that be this Friday? Or next?
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:13 AM
Next
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 8:17 AM
Okay, cool
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:17 AM
This Friday is already on schedule
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 8:17 AM
I'm already trying to also plan the follow up "Thank You" dinner, so I'm thinking the following week maybe on one of your days off.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:18 AM
Of course, I love gumbo a gumbalya . Spelled wrong, and don't care, on the bus so won't use voice
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 8:21 AM
Okay
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:21 AM
Jambalaya
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:21 AM
I doubt I can get any decent crawfish right now, but I can make a gumbo of chicken and andouille.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:22 AM
Please,🤤🤤
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 8:23 AM
And jumbileigha in my opinion and be chicken sausage, sausage, chicken, some sausage and some chicken.
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 8:25 AM
Not a big seafood guy.
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 8:25 AM
Same
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:25 AM
Except for shrimp and crawfish
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:25 AM
And 🍣
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:25 AM
Fish & chip s, clams, sure. Salmon, eeeh maybe. Ahi tuna? Yes
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 8:26 AM
Yeah, we have pretty much the same tastes.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:26 AM
Sword fish? Yup
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 8:26 AM
In seafood, at least.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:26 AM
It varies wildly on certain other subjects.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:27 AM
Mm! Indeed my friend. Ya'man
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 8:31 AM
I wish I'd been selfish last night and taken you up on your offer to come over if I really wanted you to. But at the same time, I'm glad you got a solid night's sleep.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:33 AM
I did indeed, got really stoned and cuddled up with the cats
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 8:34 AM
Like I said. Just another example of a male in your life getting the cuddles I want.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:35 AM
Fucking Bob.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:36 AM
With all the cuddles.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:36 AM
He cut yu mane
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 8:36 AM
He cut yu
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 8:37 AM
Remember he frum da strit
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 8:37 AM
Give me the Catlombian necktie?
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:37 AM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:48 AM
When we are cleaning this apartment for final inspection, remind me not to clean the blinds, please! There is a non-refundable $75 fee in my lease which was paid upon move in that is specifically reserved for cleaning the blinds. Ridiculous.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 12:43 PM
I'll clean them. It's a matter of principal I get it, likewise it's a matter of pride to do it
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 1:25 PM
Not on your LIFE! Those assholes have been such jerks to me for so long. They will not get the satisfaction of keeping my money and not having to do the task for which it was charged.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 1:27 PM
I appreciate your high standard for quality work, but you'll have to just go with me on this one.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 1:28 PM
I plan on cleaning the window and the sills, all around the blinds, though.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 1:29 PM
I was walking back to the office from lunch with my friend, Lindsay, who is the lead bartender at Stir, and she said you should absolutely drop off a resume at the the straight owned gay bar, because they are frequently hiring, and that it might mean a couple of months barbacking (autocorrect tried me on that one!), But that it's usually no longer than that before they promote to bartender.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 1:35 PM
Cool
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 3:03 PM
Than you
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 3:03 PM
Thank you
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 3:03 PM
Yup! If you want, shoot me the corrections for your resume, and I'll update it right now.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 3:03 PM
I can print some here at work
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 3:04 PM
I am FREEZING in the office.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 3:35 PM
Hey, do you think you might have any available time this evening to get on the phone and discuss logistics?
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 3:40 PM
If not, it's fine.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 3:40 PM
I can wait a day or so more.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 3:41 PM
Rebecca phone # 509-###-####. Rory# 509-###-####. I think that was all the corrections that were needed
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 4:37 PM
Great, thanks!
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 4:49 PM
Any thoughts about that last question?
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 4:56 PM
Yah I'll hit you up when I'm home
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 4:57 PM
Just off work
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 4:57 PM
Awesome. Thank you!
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 4:57 PM
How was your day? Busy enough to get you some good tips?
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 4:58 PM
Decent
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 5:03 PM
Good!
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 5:03 PM
Just getting to the bridge from northgate to Seattle. Been on the bus 15 minutes already
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 5:07 PM
Yuck! This is the worst time to travel through the city, isn't it?
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 5:08 PM
I'm sorry you're stuck in traffic. Look at the sunny side, though. At least you had a full night's sleep!
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 5:09 PM
Did you ever manage to get in touch with Heritage for the Blind to see if their guys were able to get your car from the impound?
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 5:32 PM
(Side note, your resume looks tight. I printed you off 5 double-sided color copies.)
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 5:39 PM
You are da best
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 5:50 PM
Yeah, I think I'll keep me around. I'm not half bad to have at the ready.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 5:51 PM
Car?
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 5:55 PM
Car?
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 5:56 PM
What's the status of your dead one?
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 5:56 PM
Still dead.
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 5:56 PM
It was a question I'd just asked above.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 5:56 PM
Not the messiah, then
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 5:57 PM
You received a picture.
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 5:58 PM
You received a picture.
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 5:59 PM
You received a picture.
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 5:59 PM
You received a picture.
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 5:59 PM
You received a picture.
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 5:59 PM
You received a picture.
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 5:59 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 6:00 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 6:00 PM
That's got to stop. I need to be able to know when you're being a jerk and when you're not so I don't get mad over you ignoring me.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 6:01 PM
I'm going to call Google support.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 6:02 PM
Did my screenshots make it through???
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 6:10 PM
Grrr
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 6:17 PM
I left them a message
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 7:06 PM
Hmm.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 7:06 PM
Did Rory make it there okay?
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 7:12 PM
Are we still going to have that logistics phone call?
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 7:42 PM
Yes I will call you in just a few.
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 7:50 PM
Okay
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:25 PM
I'm starving. I'm about to have to start dinner. Was trying to wait till we were done, but that's been hours.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:47 PM
Ok. Yeah. I'm calling it. Time to put the first food in my belly since the slices of pizza I had at your place the other night.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 8:53 PM
He said it could be doable. Given that they are all slower days.
Steven • July 24,2019 - 9:52 PM
I have to text the two that I would be switching with tomorrow.
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 9:53 PM
Cool. Thank you so much.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 9:53 PM
You received a picture.
Steven • July 24, 2019 - 10:10 PM
That probably didn't set off any alarms.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 10:11 PM
It's better for you if you, your cats, and your closest neighbors are all stressed out when you sink your teeth into it.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 10:14 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 24, 2019 - 10:29 PM
She's one classy French whore, that FiFi.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 6:53 AM
Fifi. Fufu fofo fafa.
Steven • July 25, 2019 - 8:20 AM
Fum
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 8:31 AM
My paycheck is so close to hitting my account I can almost taste it.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 9:04 AM
What does it taste like? Cotton? Copper? Wait utopian watercrest?
Steven • July 25, 2019 - 9:17 AM
Ass.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 9:28 AM
)*(
Steven • July 25, 2019 - 9:44 AM
So yeah I need to come by tonight and get those copies of my resume cuz I have an interview at the Outlook Bar on Capitol Hill tomorrow night at 6 p.m.
Steven • July 25, 2019 - 9:59 AM
Ok.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 10:02 AM
I can send you a Lyft after my check hits, which should be about 6:30-7:00.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 10:03 AM
They hold interviews on Friday nights? I'd think that was a busy service window.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 10:04 AM
Anyway, I'm glad you need to come get those. I was beginning to feel some withdrawal pain from not seeing you.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 10:06 AM
I'll cook pork medallions with broiled green beans for dinner.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 10:10 AM
So what do you know about the Outlook
Steven • July 25, 2019 - 10:30 AM
What do you mean?
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 10:30 AM
I'd never heard of it until you mentioned it.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 10:31 AM
Not at 6. And who knows they may even just start me tomorrow.
Steven • July 25, 2019 - 10:31 AM
Cool!
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 10:31 AM
A lot of bars work that way. You come in and are like, "Hey let's see how you do."
Steven • July 25, 2019 - 10:31 AM
True.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 10:31 AM
Well, good luck!
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 10:32 AM
You also don't work in bars\restaurants.
Steven • July 25, 2019 - 10:32 AM
Not in a long time, but I have. Dissmissive of my life experience much?
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 10:32 AM
I was manager of a bowling alley snack bar through high school to pay my tuition, and then waited tables through college.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 11:28 AM
Well, the year and a half of college I attended.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 11:28 AM
Do you want to put down Frank as a reference on your resume? It might look good having someone in the industry listed there, and there is a bit too much blank space around that section that could stand to be filled in a bit. I can even put myself down as a reference if you like.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 11:42 AM
I'm going to go ahead and do that. You'll have 5 with 2 references and 5 with 3 references.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 12:13 PM
Yah. Frank Freeman 253-###-####.
Steven • July 25, 2019 - 1:32 PM
Okay, cool
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 1:36 PM
They made me stand up in Council Chambers in front of the entire City of Tacoma IT Dept. today and be introduced. There was rousing applause after my supervisor told them what I had been hired to do. Seems I may actually be wanted.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 1:42 PM
In the workplace, at least.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 1:42 PM
Not gonna touch that one, huh? 😂 Fine. How about this? I just got a reply from the new landlord, and he agreed to both of my requests! I can wait until the 9th to pay off my deposit, and he will give me the keys on the 31st so I can go ahead and move my things in while I still have access to my apartment!
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 3:47 PM
You're wanted, or at least have been found wanting
Steven • July 25, 2019 - 3:49 PM
Awesome. I don't think it's going to be an issue to switch shifts.
Steven • July 25, 2019 - 3:49 PM
Ooh, cold! Been found wanting indeed! I guess I should be honored that anybody was looking?🖕
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 3:50 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 3:51 PM
Actually, I don't think I am, but I'm coming to terms with that a little bit more each day, so (shrug)
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 4:04 PM
So interview got moved to 6 tonight
Steven • July 25, 2019 - 4:07 PM
So, I won't be home till after that
Steven • July 25, 2019 - 4:07 PM
Aw!
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 4:10 PM
Want me to email it?
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 4:10 PM
Does this mean I won't be seeing you tonight after all?
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 4:12 PM
He already has a copy, I forwarded what I had
Steven • July 25, 2019 - 4:14 PM
Ok
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 4:24 PM
Sorry. I should have forwarded it to you at lunch when I updated it.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 4:25 PM
I sent it out a couple days ago
Steven • July 25, 2019 - 4:29 PM
Then I retract my previous apology.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 4:29 PM
Good luck on the interview! I'm crossing my fingers, legs, and toes for you.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 4:30 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 4:30 PM

Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 4:31 PM
Absolutely retract take back Indian make me feel good and then pop that balloon.
Steven • July 25, 2019 - 4:31 PM
Is that code? I mean, it looks like English, but I can't quite make out the meaning.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 4:32 PM
You sent a video.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 5:19 PM
Don't forget to tell me how it went.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 6:41 PM
I think I got it but I won't know for sure until about Sunday
Steven • July 25,2019 - 7:00 PM
Squeeeeeeee!!!
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 7:00 PM
I can't promise to keep all my crossed things crossed for that long, but I'm totally #TeamSteven
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 7:02 PM
So, heading home now? When do I get my court ordered time to hang, since you ended up not needing to come here tonight? 😋
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 7:05 PM
It's fine. You don't have to answer that.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 7:20 PM
I'll file it away for future processing.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 7:20 PM
Is there anything else I can do for you this evening, sir?
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 7:27 PM
https://www.additudemag.com/hypersensitivity-disorder-with-adhd/
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 7:50 PM
For the bus ride home.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 7:51 PM
Quintin, signing off.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 7:51 PM
Tisk, Tisk. First I was hurt. Now I'm just pissed. Have a delightful evening with Don. Sorry you feel the need to hide and omit. It doesn't look good on you.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 10:12 PM
Okay believe what you fucking want dude, Don is not here, don't know or particularly care at the moment. Rory and I still just sitting. so have fun tonight.
Steven • July 25, 2019 - 10:28 PM
Night
Steven • July 25, 2019 - 10:28 PM
Your entire day's conversation was made of three- or four-word sentences, so I got shook.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 10:29 PM
Fine. Don't take the fuckin' time to ask about my day. Don't spend a second concerned about what I have going on. Get all mad when I show the slightest bit of backbone and question you or push back on the way you always dismiss me until you want me. It's okay. I'll cower back into submission when the rum burns off. Good night to you, Steven. I'll just go fuck myself now and leave you alone until you need something. Holla at me whenever.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 10:32 PM
Holla
Steven • July 25, 2019 - 10:33 PM
Sorry for getting snappy. Just had people coming at me from all angles, and an overwhelming urge to yell then sleep came over me.
Steven • July 25, 2019 - 10:34 PM
How'd the meeting in front of everyone go?
Steven • July 25, 2019 - 10:34 PM
Warm welcome?
Steven • July 25, 2019 - 10:34 PM
So you want to hear about my shit now? It was embarrassing, but kind of nice that they gave an applause for me that was louder than the other new guys got.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 10:36 PM
I did before, but I was getting accused of stuff that wasn't true because I was trying to figure out my new phone.
Steven • July 25, 2019 - 10:36 PM
I didn't go to the beach for the picnic they had for all of IT because that introduction sent me into a panic attack, so I stayed behind and worked.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 10:37 PM
You're an overachiever.
Steven • July 25, 2019 - 10:38 PM
As you might have noticed, my day kind of spiralled from there. And I didn't have anyone to help pull me out of it. So I got drunk.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 10:38 PM
Yeah. That's me!
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 10:39 PM
You were busy, and your responses to my texts were no more than three- or four-word answers to questions I asked, so I started to feel like you were sick of me. So rather than dump my panic in your lap, I just kept trying to be supportive of you so you wouldn't get to the point where you shut me off completely, but I probably managed to get there anyway.
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 10:42 PM
Looks like I was right. *sigh*
Quintin • July 25, 2019 - 10:50 PM
I'm sorry. I was an ass last night. Forgive?
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 7:58 AM
Never drinking rum again.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 7:58 AM
As long as you're seriously done with rum. Haha. I'm sorry I got shitty back with you, but I had kind of a rough trip home. A dude was completely in my parking space, and it was just hard to not freak out on him. Then got home and was bombarded with questions when I just wanted to chill for a minute, and then you are coming at me via phone. I kind of lost my mind for a little bit, and then I went to bed.
Steven • July 26, 2019 - 8:10 AM
I did not go to sleep, but I went to bed now
Steven • July 26, 2019 - 8:10 AM
Not "now"
Steven • July 26, 2019 - 8:10 AM
I do not know how that got in there.
Steven • July 26, 2019 - 8:10 AM
I'm sorry. I always seem to pile onto whatever other things are annoying you. I don't want to do that or to be thought of by you as a burden or a nag. I hate that I play that part as often as I seem to. I'll try to leave you alone. It would help, I think, if in those times you could maybe communicate what you're feeling rather than giving me the typical short answers or just not answering me at all, because all that does is feed the Hate Monster. But of course I'm not blaming you for my own bad behavior. That's on me, and I'm very sorry for it.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:16 AM
Just know that in those moments when you shut me out or leave me with long silences, my Hate Monster loves you. He jumps on any opportunity to make me feel like your motives are sinister and hateful, whether they are in actuality or not.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:19 AM
Hey. We're good. You were drunk. Having been a bartender for years I have developed this keen sense of knowing that somebody's drunk. You just have tell him to shut the hell up and then the next day you say "hey, we're good."
Steven • July 26, 2019 - 8:20 AM
I guess I need to figure out how to be more secure in my belief that you care for me and stop feeding the fear that you're always just a step away from choosing someone else over me in every situation.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:20 AM
Yeah, I was. But I don't want to make excuses. You'll forgive this incident, but I'll carry the weight of it for a long time.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:21 AM
Imagine what it would be like if I drank! I already talk too fucking much without thinking about it first. so that's part of why I don't. I'm not saying that you shouldn't drink. Sometimes we all let our mouth get the best of ourselves. It happens. But I don't hold it against you, bud.
Steven • July 26, 2019 - 8:23 AM
And I know there's a part of you that's still really fucking sore at me right now for the other day. So it seems as if feelings tend to surface when we're drinking. Lawrt' knows that happens to me.
Steven • July 26, 2019 - 8:25 AM
Yeah. A lot of those feelings manifested last night.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:26 AM
I was just hurt, and mad, and drunk, and it all came flooding out at you. Not all of it was deserved, though. Not saying you are off the hook for the way you hurt me before, but I'm bigger than the petty way I handled it last night. I expect better of myself than that.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:27 AM
It just shows that you're human too. (Gasp!) We all do hurtful things without noticing sometimes. Please remember this: Half the time most people are too involved in themselves (myself included) to notice that they're being hurtful.
Steven • July 26, 2019 - 8:30 AM
Yeah.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:30 AM
I hear you. You don't always realize that you're doing it either.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:31 AM
Did you find out if Rory is going home today? Are you still planning on coming here tonight, or is it going to be clear for me to go there?
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:32 AM
Or did I earn myself a time out altogether?
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:32 AM
(I'm so late for work right now it's ridiculous. Standing outside my office texting like a fool.)
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:33 AM
You, "we" "I" ? All the same, meant as a proverbial definer.
Steven • July 26, 2019 - 8:35 AM
Go inside
Steven • July 26, 2019 - 8:36 AM
We Good
Steven • July 26, 2019 - 8:36 AM
I'm in. You haven't answered the important question.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:37 AM
You received a picture.
Steven • July 26, 2019 - 8:37 AM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:37 AM
My home away from home.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:38 AM
So, is the tongue my answer about tonight?
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:39 AM
Because I'm all for making out if that's what you're insinuating.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:39 AM
You received a picture.
Steven • July 26, 2019 - 8:40 AM
Ha!
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:42 AM
Steven, are you intentionally not answering the question about tonight?
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:43 AM
Is this some kind of punishment? Hahahaha
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:43 AM
Because I'd much rather a spanking and just be done with that.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:44 AM
Relax! Breathe, my pasty friend. Everything is okay.
Steven • July 26, 2019 - 8:45 AM
That is in no way an answer to either of the following: Is Rory going home? Are you coming here? Or am I going there?
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:48 AM
It only sort of answers these: Am I in time out? Am I tan or pasty?
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:49 AM
Go to work.
Steven • July 26, 2019 - 8:51 AM
😳
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:51 AM
Don't make texting with me a reason for reprimand.
Steven • July 26, 2019 - 8:51 AM
Why are you not answering? Do you not know yet?
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:52 AM
This is the stuff that awakens the HM!
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:52 AM
Actually, reading an article about ServSafe and studying for my exam.
Steven • July 26, 2019 - 8:52 AM
And rather than just telling me that and putting my mind at ease so I will leave you alone, you thought that evasion was the best option? Hahaha Here's a hint, in case it's on your test - it isn't!
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:53 AM
It's perfectly fine to just say, "I'm not sure yet. I have to find out, but I'll let you know as soon as I know."
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:54 AM
Not sure, Rory's Dr appointment today will tell if one is needed Monday. If Monday required, yes, he'll be here. If not, I'm not sure. It depends on the buses and what time he's done.
Steven • July 26, 2019 - 8:54 AM
Ok. Thanks! That's good enough. Now was that so hard?
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:55 AM
Have a great shift.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 8:55 AM
You too.
Steven • July 26, 2019 - 8:55 AM
Thanks.

I'm going to take the state licensure exam for dentistry today, because I feel like I have the experience needed after pulling teeth all morning to get a halfway straight answer out of you. 😆

I'm heading home to thaw out and get charged up.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 4:06 PM
So, any word, Turd?
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 4:24 PM
I assume the doctor's visit is either over or underway.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 4:24 PM
And please don't make me feel like I'm bothering you.😕
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 4:25 PM
Honestly, I'm kinda just wanting to go home and chill. I haven't heard from Rory about what he's doing. But I'm exhausted from today and just want to take a shower and lay in bed and go to sleep early
Steven • July 26, 2019 - 4:27 PM
Don't hate me
Steven • July 26, 2019 - 4:27 PM
I don't. I'm disappointed, of course, but that's ok. I'm getting used to that.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 4:28 PM
Have a restful evening.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 4:28 PM
I'm disappointing, I know
Steven • July 26, 2019 - 4:28 PM
I'll get started packing.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 4:28 PM
Yeah.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 4:28 PM
When it comes to keeping plans with me lately, you have been exceedingly disappointing. But I get it. Rest up. Hopefully you will feel more like seeing me next week when I really need you.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 4:30 PM
I got you next week for sure. Have no worries about that.
Steven • July 26, 2019 - 4:31 PM
That's not me being mean, btw. Just saying what I feel, and you're always saying we can't help what we feel.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 4:32 PM
So, yeah. I feel bummed that you don't miss hanging out with me as much as I apparently miss you. (shrug)
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 4:33 PM
Have a good weekend.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 4:33 PM
When we're done with the move, and all the dust settles, I'm thinking it may be time for me to separate myself from this feeling. I know you are feeling creeped out again, or something, and God knows I've been feeling everything in the Pantheon of emotions ever since I almost killed myself over my feelings for you. It's not healthy for me, and it's driving a wedge between us for you. So I'm letting you off the hook, Steven. If you need me to be the one who does it so you don't have to be the bad guy, I'll do it. All I can hope, and I mean this in only the most loving way possible, is that maybe not having me in your ear/texts/life for a while will make you realize what you're taking for granted at the moment. Or maybe it won't, and you'll be happy and content without my interference. If so, then you haven't lost a thing, and I'll know I dodged a bullet when I made myself sick on those steps.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 4:43 PM
If you prefer, I can mail these beautiful resumes to you at home. I'd hate all that ink to go to waste.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 4:49 PM
Either way, can you show me the courtesy of at least acknowledging that you read and agree or disagree with what I've said? Or at least a "Canary"?
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 4:54 PM
Ouch. What must you think of me to have so little concern or respect for me? I'm literally taken aback. I don't know what to say, and that alone says something. Thanks, Steven. My weekend was going to be stressful already. Now I get to also mourne the loss of a friend it seems.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 5:02 PM
Canary as fuck, you selfish coward.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 5:42 PM
Nope
Steven • July 26, 2019 - 6:49 PM
Which of the dozen or so texts is that supposed to address?
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 6:50 PM
Really? Hahaha I had just gotten past actively hating you and put you completely out of my mind, just in time for you to swoop in with a single word and disappear again, reigniting the very thing that pissed me off in the first place.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 6:57 PM
I'll get your stuff when I help you move. I can't do this shit any more. Attacking my character, and integrity? We're not boyfriends; I owe you no loyalty. Thank you for being my friend. I don't know that I could have made it through without you and your friendship and care. I do care for you a tremendous amount. I think you're right. You don't deserve your feelings hurt. And I don't need feeling guilty all the time. Let's hang less for a bit.
Steven • July 26, 2019 - 6:57 PM
That's a special kind of fucked up, man.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 6:57 PM
Yep. We finally agree on something that matters.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 6:58 PM
Thanks for that. It hurts like fucking hell, but at least it's finally something real out of you.

Sit tight, Steven. You can write me off as a crazy, lovesick loon, but at least wait until you get through this video. It's coming momentarily, and you can wash your hands of me and the guilt I make you feel forever once you've seen it. I won't begrudge you that.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 11:31 PM
You sent a video.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 11:32 PM
There's my adieu.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 11:42 PM
Watch or don't. You're right. You owe "no loyalty" to me at all. All the care I gave earned me nothing from our "friendship". Bye, Steven. I'm sorry I couldn't be only what you wanted me to be.
Quintin • July 26, 2019 - 11:44 PM
I am begging you, if you ever cared in the least, please answer me on Instagram.
Quintin • July 27, 2019 - 12:50 AM
Please
Quintin • July 27, 2019 - 12:52 AM
Please!
Quintin • July 27, 2019 - 1:04 AM
If you throw me away I don't know what to do.
Quintin • July 27, 2019 - 1:05 AM
I'm sorry
Quintin • July 27, 2019 - 1:05 AM
Please
Quintin • July 27, 2019 - 1:06 AM
What about New Orleans? I'll pay for your trip. I'll do anything, just don't cast me off like I don't matter, I'm begging you. I know you care more than this. You said it. You told me I matter.
Quintin • July 27, 2019 - 1:08 AM
You said I mattered to you.
Quintin • July 27, 2019 - 1:09 AM
I believed you!
Quintin • July 27, 2019 - 1:09 AM
I thought I mattered to someone.
Quintin • July 27, 2019 - 1:10 AM
I believed you.
Quintin • July 27, 2019 - 1:11 AM
I guess I was wrong to.
Quintin • July 27, 2019 - 1:12 AM
I'm so so sorry, Steven. I thought I could.. I'm just so sorry
Quintin • July 27, 2019 - 1:18 AM
Goodbye
Quintin • July 27, 2019 - 1:19 AM
Now that I've calmed down from the hours of hysterical crying and am able to form some coherent thoughts, I want to first say how sorry I am for that embarrassing display of desperation, and to assure you that I will honor your decision to block communication with me from here on out if that is still what you want. It's regrettable that the friendship has been left in cinders this was, but it is what it is and I will move on and allow you to do the same. I guess the only thing left is to arrange a time to transfer the few belongings of mine that I actually need back, like the Surface, the messenger bag, projector, and my kitchen things. Let me know how you want to handle that and when.
Quintin • July 27, 2019 - 9:56 AM
As you can imagine, I am going to be pretty busy preparing my things for the move, which I will have to replan since I don't think you're going to want to participate in that, so I you want to wait until I'm at the new place to drop them off, I'll understand. I'm sorry for being so . . . Well, I'm sorry for a lot of things, but mostly for what I wasn't able to be, I guess, which was patient and less of a nuisance. It wasn't ever my intention to make you feel guilty about anything. I did need more from you than you are able or willing to give, and in demanding what I consider to be a minimum standard of communication, I pushed you further and further away. I hope you can accept my apology, and that someday you and I can maybe try it again, if that's something that you're willing to consider.
Quintin • July 27, 2019 - 10:09 AM
I don't expect you to answer. You're probably still reeling from last night's ridiculous behavior, so I deserve that. I'll hear from you when you're ready to reply, I guess, but I won't hold you to any timeline or schedule or expect any loyalty as you pointed out yesterday
Quintin • July 27, 2019 - 10:12 AM
Take care, Steven. I'm sorry for doing this.
Quintin • July 27, 2019 - 10:13 AM
If it's still within the realm of possibility, I wonder if I can still borrow the cat carriers you mentioned. If not, it's ok. I'll make do.
Quintin • July 27, 2019 - 10:30 AM
I'm picking up what your continued silence is putting down. I'm going to block your number and delete your contact from my phone so that I can stop feeling tempted to reach out to you, because it's clear that's not what you want. Just.. well, I've apologized enough. The ball was left in your court, where it remains. Goodbye, my friend. You are going to be sorely missed, but I wish you nothing but the best in all your endeavors. Bye, Steven.
Quintin • July 27, 2019 - 7:58 PM
Do you think we can talk?
Quintin • July 28, 2019 - 7:45 PM
If only about the cat carriers? I know you are done with me. I get that.
Quintin • July 28, 2019 - 7:49 PM
Nothing? Do you hate me that much that now even my cats have to suffer for my mistakes? I thought I could at least count on you to be a man of your word when it came to them.
Quintin • July 28, 2019 - 8:06 PM
Ok then. You go on punishing me for this. Trust me. I already regret my actions from the start. I'm just sorry they led to you breaking your word.
Quintin • July 28, 2019 - 8:15 PM
Since I have no way of knowing if my messages are making it through, I'm going to remove all doubt. I've reserved a Zip Car, and am going to be driving to your house in the next half hour, where we will talk face-to-face like adults, because this dehumanizing bullshit is done. I'm getting my answers like any human being deserves, and if you can't do it the easy way over the phone, then you'll do it to my face.
Quintin • July 28, 2019 - 8:45 PM
See you soon.
Quintin • July 28, 2019 - 8:45 PM

Steven • July 28, 2019 - 9:18 PM
I'll wait.
Quintin • July 28, 2019 - 9:18 PM
And, yes. We do.
Quintin • July 28, 2019 - 9:18 PM
You owe me at least that much.
Quintin • July 28, 2019 - 9:18 PM
Owe you?
Steven • July 28, 2019 - 9:19 PM
I don't know what I did to inspire this kind of hate, but it's not cool.
Quintin • July 28, 2019 - 9:19 PM
I've got the car for the whole night, so I don't mind waiting outside your door.
Quintin • July 28, 2019 - 9:20 PM
But we're going to talk like civilized adults.
Quintin • July 28, 2019 - 9:21 PM
Not about us or repairing anything. That's past.
Quintin • July 28, 2019 - 9:21 PM
But about the things you signed up for that I need you to keep your word on.
Quintin • July 28, 2019 - 9:22 PM
Then, when that's done, you can tell me to fuck off, and I'll be a distant memory that you no longer have to shit on.
Quintin • July 28, 2019 - 9:23 PM
See you soon, Steven.
Quintin • July 28, 2019 - 9:23 PM
Have my belongings ready.
Quintin • July 28, 2019 - 9:23 PM
It's too late to undo, and I wouldn't if I could. You wanted me to hate you, Steven. All because you were too scared to let yourself love me. Well, now we can both hate each other I guess. You stupid fuck. Why you did this makes no sense, but I really wish you hadn't. Now I have to sit back and watch as your whole life implodes on itself, just because you had to push and push and keep fucking pushing. I'm sorry for what is happening now. Know that.
Quintin • Jul 29, 2019 - 4:41 AM
Whatever you need to tell yourself. This will be the last response you'll get from me. Don't waste your time. I'm done. You wanted a reaction. You got it.
Steven • Jul 29, 2019 - 4:41 AM
My belongings are the ONLY reaction I want. And until I get them, all is fair game. You don't have to push this any further, Steven. Just do the right fucking thing and let's be done with one another. You've convinced me that hating you is all that's left, and I confess, there is a river of pure hatred coursing through me for you, you cowardly little thieving whore. I want my computer, projector, bag, and various kitchen items, and I want them today. I'm not kidding you, the Federal Way PD is going to receive a phone call from me at 5:30PM on the dot, and you'd better believe I intend to follow it through all the way to the end. I don't know who the fuck you think you are, maybe you were convinced by my docile nature that you are somehow stronger, more important, or smarter than I, but let me assure you, skinny man, I outrank you on every fucking level. My things, or it's going to get ugly. Don't fuck with me, Steven. You haven't seen me at my worst. You had better hope you don't have to, fucker.
Quintin • Jul 29, 2019 - 7:01 AM
I just got off the phone with your boss. It's coming. Be expecting a drug test at your work. Have a great day.
Steven • Jul 29, 2019 - 7:35 AM
All your shit is at the bottom of Puget Sound. Enjoy it.
Steven • Jul 29, 2019 - 7:36 AM
It's really pathetic. I now understand. Have fun being alone.
Steven • Jul 29, 2019 - 7:43 AM
And again I say I didn't ask you for anything. Everything you gave me was a gift. It's not required by law to give back a gift. It's just kinda shitty of the person who gives a gift to ask for a back. Look it up! A gift does not have to be returned. And you wiped that computer clean and put it into my name, so the computer's mine. It was a gift from you. And I don't have any dishes or anything else of yours. I don't know what you're talking about, sir.
Steven • Jul 29, 2019 - 7:45 AM
I'm sorry you're so unhappy with yourself. Just smile more. I know that you are a good person. You're a good guy. But you're just so unhappy, and you want to bring everybody else down. I'm happy, and you're just kind of a pathetic person. Sorry. I try to be nice but you know my charity can only go so far.
Steven • Jul 29, 2019 - 7:44 AM
Thank you for the resumes though. Kinda creepy that you left them on my back porch like a fucking psycho, but hey, it's cool. Thank you. I appreciate it.
Steven • Jul 29, 2019 - 7:44 AM
You know, I've often wondered this but was too polite to ask you directly -- Are you actually literate? Like, I know you can sound out the words and technically read, but when it comes to comprehension and shit, are you able to read above a 4th grade level? It would explain why you were always unable to follow the texts I sent you. Hey, adult illiteracy is a nationwide epidemic. It's nothing to be ashamed of, okay?
Quintin • Jul 29, 2019 - 7:45 AM
You see, the problem you're going to face with that argument is this fucking trail of text messages I have that records the exact nature of each item I loaned you. You are on record thanking me for the loan of that computer, and you texted me that you would return all of my things before you lost your fucking mind and went ape shit crazy for no god damned reason. So if you've disposed of even a single item of mine in any way, shape, or form other than ensuring their safe return to me, you and I will get to see one another in civil court when I sue you for their return or their replacement value. I hope you've saved enough money to afford representation, whore. Hopefully Don will still help you out with that after I inform him of our conversation where you told me how close to death he is and how you hope you've made it into his will. That's gonna smart, I wager.
Quintin • Jul 29, 2019 - 12:10 PM
I'm the first to admit how pathetic I am. Did you not pay attention at all, you self-absorbed slut? Nothing you say about me can be worse than what I already know about myself, so who's wasting whose time coming up with insults? All you had to do was be civil and honorable, and none of this had to escalate. Once a hood rat always a hood rat, I guess. Another lasting life lesson from your mom, Steven? How to flip the script on a john when the money runs out? She taught you well. Though you were a bit off your mark taking such a sad, lonely old fuck like me under your wing for so long. I'm surprised you lasted as long as you did. And I can't believe I ever whined about not getting enough of your stabby, needle thin dick. You are maybe the most selfish, lazy fuck I've ever had the disgrace to have let inside me. It's no wonder Rory got tired of letting you fuck him. You're a one trick Tijuana sex pony who is anything but inventive in the sack. A guy knows everything about your fuck game in the first 5 minutes you get it up and get going. You're predictable, inattentive, and underwhelming. If I hadn't done most of the work myself, I doubt I ever would have enjoyed it half as much. As it is, you only managed to make me cum once in the whole time we were hanging out, and that time was because I helped you get me there, you sad piece of fuck, you. Gonorrhea was perhaps the most generous thing about your fuck style. And your art? Ha! Garbage. Every fucking bit of it. I didn't have the heart to tell you, but that ugly fucking painting you saddled me with was truly ugly and showed no originality whatsoever. You're basic. Untalented. Trash trying to be trophy. Keep trying, man. Maybe some day you'll graduate to mediocre.
Quintin • Jul 29, 2019 - 12:41 PM
You know what, Steven? You're right. I don't need those things back. They clearly mean more to you than to me. It's selfish of me to want to take from you things you probably couldn't afford to get for yourself, thus explaining why you're so hesitant to return them to me as promised. You go ahead and keep those old things and may they serve you well. I'll have the satisfaction of knowing you had to resort to theft to attain something I can replace without a second thought. Just like you. Newer, better models that serve my needs more effectively are what I need. Not the hand-me-downs you are so desperate to hold onto. Go fuck yourself with my cast off belongings. You clearly want to invite as much bad Karma and worse Dharma, so have at it you whoring piece of blabbering shit. I'll be thankful to be rid of you. I definitely dodged a bullet. You would have been a miserable choice for me in the long run. Glad you showed your true colors in time for me to write you off with as little of your filthy tarnish on me as possible. Have a miserable, chaotic existence leaching off of those unfortunate enough to fall into your web, whore. Goodbye and good riddance.
Quintin • Jul 29, 2019 - 1:50 PM
And fear not, little man. I never actually sent any emails to your prospective employer nor to Shari's. I was just seeing how evil you were willing to get, and you didn't disappoint. Unlike you, I'm not actually cruel enough to ruin someone's life just because things between us went south. I have more respect for my fellow human beings, regardless of how undeserving they might prove to be. And, well, you certainly don't deserve the kindness you got from me. None of it. Not that that stopped you from lapping it up by the mouthful. You are just a leech, and you will always be one. You coast through life jumping from one generosity to the next caring not how badly you scar the unfortunate vicitms you bleed dry to survive from one chaotic episode to the next. It's actually surprising how much of your ill-gotten gains you pass on down to your guilt sponge, Rory, but even that is self-serving in a way, because you take care of him to make yourself feel like less of a creature of malice. I don't think you have a kind bone in you that isn't painted with some thickness of selfishness. You even monopolize conversation, telling the same boring stories over and over because to let anyone else speak would be too much like letting them appear to be your equal, and we both know you have no equal. You sit as low as a person can get and thrive there feeding off the desperation of those you prey upon. You go after men with fragile self-images and low self-esteem because you know they only need a tiny bit of attention and the minimum amout of physical intimacy from you in order to start their generosity flowing. My only wish for you, Steven, is that you get what you deserve in the end. I hope your looks continue to fade, more quickly with each passing year, and that one day soon you find yourself unable to lure in even the saddest, most pathetic of prey, leaving you to your own unimpressive devices to eek out a living on your own merit, of which there is very little. I regret only that I won't be around to witness your comeuppance taking shape around you, and that I will never get to see you truly, desperately alone the way you deserve to be for the way you dismiss the kind, generous souls you feed off of. I can take some satisfaction in knowing that your years of doing that are numbered, and that whether I get to see it or not, you will end up alone, sad, and as pathetic as you consider me to be, finally making us equals on some level. Fuck you and the busted ass PT Cruiser you rode in on, you slimey piece of filth. May you serve as the last, best lesson I'll ever need against being so easily fooled by a man-child beneath my worth, which you have proven yourself to be by every measure. Enjoy the future you've earned for yourself, and may it keep you alive and healthy to suffer it for as long as possible, you wretched excuse for a human and embarrassing pretender at art, music, and philosophy. Suffer long and deeply in the bed you've made for yourself. And may you come to be haunted by the men like me whose hearts you trampled so selfishly, you soulless son of a $2 crack whore. Thank you for the few sub-standard lays I managed to coax out of you. Some of them came close to being adequate, though my standards are admittedly low. I'm sure to people who have sex more regularly, you are even more disappointing in bed than I found you to be. You proved that practice apparently doesn't always make perfect and that quantity in no way compares to quality. I'm sorry you had to be such a disappointment and such a waste of my time, energy, and spirit. But you're probably used to being that by now. Eat a bowl of shitty dick, you worthless cock hound. May our paths never cross again for both our sakes.
Quintin • Jul 29, 2019 - 3:57 PM
You will rue the day you turned on this pathetic guy. Your charity, as you call it, will be met with an ongoing barrage of steaming hot trouble. I'm sad for you, because of the two of us, it's really you who needed me more, whether you want to admit it or not. I'm going to make life unbearable for you starting with your connections for meth. I already found out how much you owe to Jose, and am going to help put him in direct contact with you at your home and place of business to collect what is owed to him. Fuck you in your mightier than thou ass, you low life piece of trailer park shit. It's a shame your mom ruined you the way she did, because you suck the life out of every good thing that enters your orbit just like she taught you, and that, my friend is the truly pathetic part of all this. If Rory knows what is good for him, he'll also bid you farewell before there's any chance of getting your rotten fucking kidney anywhere near him. You'd kill him faster than the cancer ever would. Fuck you, you thieving shitbag. I'm going to enjoy destroying you piece by piece. It will feel like a public service.
Quintin • July 29, 2019 - 9:50 PM
The beautiful thing about my position is that I'm protected by my union, and that I have the option of checking myself into treatment without fear of reprimand. You want to take it to that level, you yellow piece of trash, go ahead. We'll see who has reason to worry. I'd be very careful where you show your face in Seattle when you're off work. I hear there are some shady characters looking for you. You can expect that ServSafe training to go bye-bye as well. Turns out they don't want to spend that kind of money training a drug dealer who sells meth to fellow employees at Shari's.

PART 3
AUGUST 2019
A Second Apocolpyse
One friend wants to price a half ounce. The other friend already found another source.
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 5:57 PM
I actually just sold all but a couple grams. Like 30 minutes ago. I'm sorry
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:15 PM
I'll let you know when I get more
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:15 PM
No worries. I already explained that he should look elsewhere due to the recent change in our friendship status.
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:17 PM
But if you are willing to return my things and to offer me the table I wanted, while I admit I'm scratching my head at your reversal of course, I'd very much like those things.
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:25 PM
Yeah absolutely. I can do that, definitely. Like I said, it'll be a couple more days, maybe a week because of transportation issues. I don't really feel like going on the bus with the table. You also want your folding table back? The one that attaches to the wall?. And how do I reset the Surface?
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:29 PM
I can't get it to erase me from it.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:30 PM
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:30 PM
Also, awesome. Good job. Just the right balance of hurtful and funny.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:30 PM
I got these this afternoon.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:30 PM
I would have to see it to remember the steps.
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:30 PM
Seriously, good job. Well done
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:31 PM
Ok
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:31 PM
Thanks? I guess? For me it was all hurtful, no funny. Glad it found balance in the translation.
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:31 PM
I will let you know with plenty of time. And we can meet at the McDonald's right there or something.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:31 PM
If that's what you want, yeah.
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:32 PM
I can also take a Zip Car over to collect those things to save you the trip.
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:32 PM
I'm talking about sending it back to me, and making it into a button. It was hurtful on this end as well. And at first seeing them got me. I had to go into my bedroom to keep my tears from Rory seeing them. It made me feel like a total piece of shit. But then I lost my shit cracking up. Very well played.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:33 PM
And that way I can wipe the Surface there in front of you so you don't have to worry about any of your stuff falling into my hands.
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:33 PM
I am not currently at home. Maybe in a while,
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:33 PM
Not tonight. I have plans.
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:34 PM
Tomorrow I'll be home literally all day, testing from 8-4 then working till 2.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:34 PM
Ok. Have fun tonight.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:34 PM
NOT home tomorrow,
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:34 PM
Haha
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:34 PM
Stupid voice text.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:34 PM
I'm not off work until 4:30 Mon - Friday.
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:35 PM
You received a picture.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:35 PM
So maybe later this week or something.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:35 PM
I guess.
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:35 PM
Do you need anyThing from Seattle?
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:36 PM
Looks good. Glad you didn't throw them away. I half expected you to.
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:36 PM
Like I said, I am still here for you friend. I said hurtful things, for that I'm a douchebag.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:36 PM
And I'm glad to hear that it hurt at least a little.
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:36 PM
No way man, I've kept everything you have given me, hurt feelings not excluded.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:37 PM
I'm nowhere near ready to even think about forgiving you anytime soon.
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:37 PM
But I felt like you wanted me to come at you the way I know you have heard me yell at Rory. I didn't want to and don't want to, ever, to anyone. It doesn't feel good to me to be that way. It's bitter and heavy.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:38 PM
But I'm thankful that you at least decided to return the things I loaned you. Thanks for remembering to be decent again.
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:38 PM
I hope you do, not for me. It's a big burden to carry animosity.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:39 PM
I'm not holding anything except good intentions for you sir.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:39 PM
I'll be here. Drop me a line.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:40 PM
I NEVER wanted that. Not ever. And I'm sorry if something I said gave you that indication. It hurt me so badly I can't begin to even tell you. But I guess that was what you were going for, so well done.
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:40 PM
I was going to before, just started to get very hurt-turned-angry. And, well, here we are.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:40 PM
Sometime, in person, we shall have a pow wow.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:41 PM
There we went. Yeah. Well, let me know when I can come get my things.
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:41 PM
I've got to get to studies.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:41 PM
I will indeed
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:42 PM
Goodnight.
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:42 PM
If you want to send a list of what you remember is at my place, so I can remember, it's the lil things I forget.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:42 PM
Good night, Quint
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:43 PM
You received a picture.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:45 PM
You received a GIF.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:45 PM
You received a GIF.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:45 PM
You received a GIF.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:45 PM
You received a GIF.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:45 PM
You received a GIF.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:45 PM
You received a GIF.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:45 PM
You received a GIF.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:45 PM
You received a GIF.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:45 PM
You received a GIF.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:45 PM
Um.. what's this?
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:46 PM
I'm guessing it's another mysterious case of text messages dropping and fucking up the whole intended communication. If you were waiting for something, I didn't see anything pending response. And I'm not defecating at the moment, so...
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 6:50 PM
No, I wasn't trying to imply anything or convey hidden messages. Just thought they were funny & that they might make you smile.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 7:02 PM
I see.
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 7:02 PM
So, since we're being civil again, there's something I need to ask you that I hope you can answer honestly, as it has bearing on my livelihood. Did you make a call to my employer and start an investigation into my alleged drug use? If I need to take measures to protect myself against termination, I need to know what exactly was said and to whom.
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 10:07 PM
It was a voicemail message.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 10:10 PM
Do you know whose voicemail?
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 10:10 PM
I don't exactly remember what I said. Yes, drug use was mentioned. It was after you sent me the screen shot of the email you didn't send. I thought you had sent it.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 10:11 PM
I'm sorry
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 10:11 PM
I have to reach out to my union steward tomorrow morning.
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 10:11 PM
Fuck.
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 10:11 PM
Well, I guess at least I got a taste of what it feels like to be able to afford living in a nice place again before that's yanked out from under me.
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 10:13 PM
You'll be fine. Drink a lot of water, and mix in a tablespoon of vinegar every other Thursday.
Steven • Aug 5, 2019 - 10:17 PM
I just can't understand how you could actually be okay with going for the kill like that. To me. After everything we shared as friends. It just blows my mind. I never deserved any of that from you, Steven.
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 10:17 PM
Thanks for the home remedy. That's great.
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 10:17 PM
I suppose I'm never going to get the explanation I'd hoped for. I guess it doesn't matter anyway.
Quintin • Aug 5, 2019 - 10:48 PM
I am sorry for calling your work. But I really thought you had sent off that email to Shari's and the Outlook, (which I start at tomorrow, if you were wondering at all) and I was reeling still. I have no good excuse. I'm sorry. Damaging your life was not a thing I wanted to do. I'm sorry. A million times over I'm sorry. I hope everything works out.
Steven • Aug 6, 2019 - 12:58 AM
I think that's the difference between us. I cared too much about you to ever deliberately try to hurt you. And you didn't care quite enough about me to stop yourself from doing irreparable harm to me. It's that difference that was our undoing, and why it's best that I not repeat my past mistake of putting my trust, my heart, or my welfare in your hands again. I'm glad you got the job. I hope you never know how it feels to be so hated by a person you love that they try to undermine your success. Let me know which evening this week I can come and get my things.
Quintin • Aug 6, 2019 - 1:45 AM
Here are the items that I can think of off the top of my head
Quintin • Aug 6, 2019 - 10:30 AM
Oh, and the other table we got at the thrift store, if you're still willing to let me have it. So that would be two tables, if you count the fold up one in the box from Ikea.
Quintin • Aug 6, 2019 - 10:37 AM
I'm in Seattle at my ServSafe class
Steven • Aug 6, 2019 - 10:45 AM
Then with at 4
Steven • Aug 6, 2019 - 10:45 AM
Did you mean "work at 4:00"? So, basically today is not an option.
Quintin • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:10 AM
Correct
Steven • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:11 AM
Ok.
Quintin • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:18 AM
I must have misunderstood what you said last night about your availability today.
Quintin • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:19 AM
OMG, the fucking irony! I may have finally found a bottom buddy that I think overlaps both our tastes, and who I would have probably felt comfortable sharing with you, now that the friendship is in ruins and that will never, ever happen. Hahaha I actually had to sit down and chuckle for a minute at just how fucked up the universe can be.
Quintin • Aug 6, 2019 - 10:14 PM
Indeed.
Steven • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:32 PM
I'm not going to go into my shit, but yes. A cruel but hilarious sense of humor the universe has indeed.
Steven • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:33 PM
What shit? You have separate shit from this shit?
Quintin • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:34 PM
Sister, my life blew up like a volcano and the lava spray is still landing all over, burning whatever it lands on. Been awesome.
Steven • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:37 PM
Oh, wait, that's right! Did I read that you're a recent widower now?
Quintin • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:37 PM
All that bad karma I was racking up? Came to head all at once.
Steven • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:37 PM
Hmm.
Quintin • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:37 PM
No. I've changed that already
Steven • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:37 PM
I did that on accident.
Steven • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:38 PM
But time will tell.
Steven • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:38 PM
I was wondering. That really was a bad week for you if that had happened.
Quintin • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:38 PM
No. Everything is fucked. But that's ok. I'm a citizen of the land of nope, and a residency card holder of the "uh-uh, not for you" republic.
Steven • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:39 PM
While I have your attention, mind if I ask which night works better for me to come get my things? I get paid Thursday night, so that would be ideal, but I can probably afford to rent a ZipCar tomorrow night if you prefer.
Quintin • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:40 PM
Thursday might be better. I don't know honestly. I don't have both schedules yet. And I'm covering for Frank then Chuy the next couple weeks. So fucked up. Take away manager then ask me to cover their vacations.
Steven • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:42 PM
Um, you sound like you are reading the fortune cookie that came with me when I was born, Mr. Throwing Away Perfectly Good Love Because Eww. It's me who apparently is banned from happy. You simply exiled yourself from it thinking you could create it elsewhere.
Quintin • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:42 PM
I'm happy, don't get me wrong. But I'm incredibly lacking in fulfillment of any sort right now. If that makes any sense.
Steven • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:44 PM
But yah, not going there
Steven • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:44 PM
I'm sorry again if I caused anything to do with your job.
Steven • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:44 PM
Seriously, I feel so fucking bad and guilty.
Steven • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:45 PM
I, like I said, wish nothing but good for you. I want you to be happy and prosperous.
Steven • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:46 PM
I still can't wrap my head around how intensely you had to hate me in that moment to actually do that. I can't. I couldn't do that to you, even now, knowing and feeling what I know and feel. It's easy to say you're sorry when you aren't going to have to suffer the consequences that I will.
Quintin • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:47 PM
For the mortal sin of falling in love and caring too much for you, I get this. More universe fuckery.
Quintin • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:48 PM
If I manage to dance through the fiery hoops you set up for me, it's going to be a miracle, and it won't be easy to think of you in any kind way for a very long time.
Quintin • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:50 PM
But, anyway. I didn't text you to start a fight. I'm through fighting. I'm just doing my best to maintain my shit long enough to get through this next few days civilly and then putting all the volumes of hurt I earned out of this behind me.
Quintin • Aug 6, 2019 - 11:52 PM
Though, I will admit, there's always going to be a morbid curiosity in me to hear what
your thought process was when you decided to turn the switch from annoyed friend to hateful, diabolical,
blocker of communication, hurler of hurtful words, and saboteur of livelihood, as well
as what possessed you to refuse the return of the things you knew full well were lent to you out of
kindness. But I don't expect to be getting that much insight or communication about all that. It's
not going to change what happened between us last week anyway, so asking you to give me that would
just be hurtful to hear and maybe hurtful for you to tell.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 12:00 AM
Your "charity can only extend so far", after all. That much I'll remember "for the restof my pathetic, lonely life".
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 12:02 Am
If the unspeakable does happen, reach out. I'll help you as much as I can. I promise.
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 12:25 AM
I can tell you exactly. I had it in my head that you were trying to get me to fight with
you the way I fight with Rory or similarly at least, because you had heard me on the phone with him and
heard what I'd said. To fight hard takes a lot of passion, so I thought that's what you were going for
is trying to get that fight started. I also felt that if I did fight with you like that, it would have
ended things for we wouldn't be talking now at all, and probably never again. And as for calling your
work like I said I never hated you I was so taken aback and caught off guard and that you went like that
that I just kind of got crazy thinking about you going that low. Then I thought, "He wants to play that
game? He doesn't know how low I can go. Limbo time, Bitch.", and then immediately was filled with
remorse and guilt when I hung up the phone. I wanted to call you up crying and tell you about it. I want
to call him back and leave a message saying never mind. I feel horrible. You might even just want to be
like, if it comes up, you say, like, "It was my ex." Tell him that we had a nasty breakup and that I was
trying to be fucked up to you or something. I'm so sorry, Quintin.
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 12:25 AM
You know I don't make promises cuz you can't break what you don't make. I promise.
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 12:25 AM
And what would you have done if I had sent the police to get the things you insisted were
now yours? You had to know that your defense wouldn't hold up once I showed them our communication
detailing how only a day and a half before you had told me that you would get it all back to me.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 1:09 Am
Were you actually at home while I sat crying and confused on your back porch, trying to
reconcile your cruelty against the friend whose heart and mind I thought I knew? Were you watching me
that whole time waiting for me to give up and go away?
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 1:13 AM
And not to put too fine a point on things, but you also promised to help me move. You
promised to help me with money like I did for you. You convinced me not to hire movers or cleaners,
because it was a matter of honor for you. And when the time came, you left me hanging, baffled by the
stress that I had to face alone. So how can you expect me to ever believe you again, promise or not? You
abandoned me and called me a psycho, pathetic, and all kinds of mocking shit when I needed you, Steven. I
can't put myself at risk of you ever doing that shit to me again. As it stands, I won't be getting close
to anyone again for a very long time. If I was stupid enough to have believed in you once, and then you
turned on me so abruptly and completely, then how am I supposed to trust any man again who I think I
know well enough not to be betrayed by him?
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 1:39 Am
No. I wasn't home.
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 6:40 AM
I view things slightly differently, and that's okay.
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 6:41 AM
You feel betrayed. I feel tricked.
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 6:42 AM
No worries. We both learned.
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 6:42 AM
Oh, yes. I learned some very expensive lessons. Of that, there's no doubt. For what it's
worth I never tried to trick you. As I became aware of what route my feelings were taking, I kept it to
myself for only a little while as I tried my damnedest to stop them, change them, redirect them. And
when I couldn't, I talked to you about it. That happened twice, in stages. I hadn't felt that feeling of
closeness to anyone since my last ex, which ended in 2003. You'll have to forgive me for not recognizing
them for what they were right away. 16 years without them made experiencing them again somewhat
confusing for me. But I never tricked you, Steven. If anything, I did my best to do as you wanted - but
that only made things worse.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 6:51 Am
By the way, there's no malice or snark in me when I say any of this. I hope you can believe
me when I say I'm simply trying to get my head around the facts. The hurt is over. And I'm too tired for
rage. All I have left is a sort of numb sense of curiosity for the truth, and a small bit of want for
some mutual respect and understanding.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 6:55 Am
I just wish instead of always dodging the conversations you thought were too awkward, that
I had been able to get your interest in all of the communication I tried to have with you so that we
could have remained friends. I can't see how communicating as much as I tried can be traced to feeling
tricked, though. That's all. I mean, you feel what you feel, I don't deny that. I'd like to understand
why, perhaps. But it doesn't have to be now.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 7:00 Am
No, you know what? That's not fair. You don't have to explain yourself or your feelings to
me. It would be different if I were trying to repair our friendship by putting the pieces back together,
but I'm not interested in that. You were right when you said we weren't boyfriends. The loyalty part, I
have to disagree with, but even that point is moot. You don't want to have to deal with twenty pages of
texts and I don't want to waste either of our time trying to reach a meeting of the minds. That's behind
us now.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 7:06 Am
I'm aware that you are not a trickster, it's a feeling. Not an evidencially supported feeling.
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 7:11 AM
Fair enough.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 7:11 Am
Out of curiosity, and I know it's none of my business, so feel free not to answer if you want, but how is Rory doing after his surgery and chemo?
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 9:56 Am
((QK: Rory hadn't started either, but Steven didn't want to tell me that because it was an umbrella for sympathy and an excuse to be a dick, but he also didn't want to lie, so of course the question went unanswered completely.))
Hi, just making another attempt to get on the same page with you about the pick up. I have someone coming over shortly, so I won't be available to talk about it again until the morning.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 6:50 PM
But if you aren't available tomorrow evening, please let me know so I can cancel my reservation before I lose money on it.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 6:52 PM
Cancel please
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 7:03 PM
How about Monday evening? Shit is really crazy right this moment. Monday seems to be a reprieve day
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 7:04 PM
Hmmm.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 7:04 PM
I'd hoped to get this done.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 7:05 PM
I also have competing priorities that have to be considered.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 7:06 PM
It will, I understand, we just found out how bad Rory's cancer is.
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 7:06 PM
Bad
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 7:06 PM
I can bring your stuff to you Monday
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 7:06 PM
I'm sorry
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 7:06 PM
Cancelled my reservation. Have to go now. People will be showing up soon. Monday? Any idea when? My reiki healer is going to be leaving around 5:30-6:00.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 7:12 PM
Which is part of why I'd hoped to be done with all of this before the weekend.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 7:13 PM
I'll be sure to make it before. So you can be reiki healed after. Wouldn't want to undo what they just did.
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 7:13 PM
No, you'll need to come after. I work until 5:00 on Monday.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 7:14 PM
Oh, I'll try for this weekend then.
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 7:15 PM
Just have a lot on my plate all of a sudden.
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 7:15 PM
He arrives here Friday evening at 6:45
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 7:15 PM
I'm not going to be available this weekend until he leaves Monday eve.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 7:16 PM
Ok
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 7:16 PM
You literally don't have to do anything or prepare for any confrontation. I'll be in and out if I come by to pick it up. And after, you won't have to see or deal with me again. Easy peasy
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 7:18 PM
Is it because Rory will be there?
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 7:19 PM
I'm no longer in the picture, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 7:21 PM
I have no animosity toward him. Never have.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 7:22 PM
Easy? Not really.
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 8:09 PM
Tomorrow evening is fine for you to come get your stuff. I'll text you when I'm home.
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 8:12 PM
You received a GIF.
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 8:13 PM
You received a GIF.
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 8:13 PM
Wait, yes easy. Why do you think it won't be? I'm not going to start any shit.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 9:38 PM
So, I need to re-reserve my cancelled reservation for tomorrow night?
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 9:39 PM
No. I can bring it to you. And yah not easy. This fucking sucks, man. We're friends, well...whatever. Even though it is what it is, it's not easy for me to know that you and I aren't close anymore. I valued you highly. So yeah, not easy. Shit started or not, it sucks.
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 9:52 PM
Sorry. I didn't know you felt that way. It's not at all what you presented last week, so I figured you must have been just as ready to see the back of me heading away for good so you didn't have to feel guilty all the time.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 9:56 PM
How are you going to get all of that stuff over here? I can rent the U-haul. It's no big deal.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 9:57 PM
Crazy thing about feelings is you can feel more than one way about one thing at the same time. And just because I have the ability to cut somebody out completely doesn't mean I like to do it or want to.
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 9:58 PM
Ah.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 9:59 PM
Not that much, 1 car will do it in one trip.
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 9:59 PM
Ok, if you're sure. I didn't intend to make it an imposition for you.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 10:00 PM
No worries
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 10:00 PM
You received a GIF.

If I hadn't just signed a 2-year lease in the best apartment in Tacoma, I swear I'd move out of this state and get away from all this fuckery that WA has thrown at my face over and over since I moved here.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 10:02 PM
If I end up getting fired, I will, though.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 10:03 PM
I can't feel my fucking legs right now because of another fucking ghost who left me waiting like a moron.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 10:03 PM
Well played with the Grindr picture, btw. That couldn't have been better timing to log in and see
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 10:05 PM
Sorry that we morons are everywhere.
Steven • Aug 7, 2019 - 10:10 PM
I wasn't making a dig at you. I'm pissed off at myself for falling for it yet again.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 10:11 PM
I was the moron in that statement.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 10:12 PM
Rushing home and frantic to get myself and everything here perfect for some asshole who doesn't have the balls to just say, "Nah, but thanks."
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 10:14 PM
Sorry. Best friend talk crept back in there for a second. Still adjusting to not having one of those anymore.
Quintin • Aug 7, 2019 - 10:16 PM
Ballpark figure, do you have an idea as to what time you expect to be able to be at my place this evening so I can plan dinner around it? Or, thinking out loud via text, would you like to join me for dinner as a thank you for bringing it back?
Quintin • Aug 8, 2019 - 10:04 AM
I realize you're working now. Just bumping this question back into view for when you have a chance to respond.
Quintin • Aug 8, 2019 - 12:28 PM
So yeah, dinner would be awesome, however, I work at the Outlook tonight. I'm sorry. I got called early this morning and said yes before thinking about the fact I had said I'd bring those.
Steven • Aug 8, 2019 - 12:29 PM
If you're up late, I'll text when I'm home, and maybe we can figure something out. I'm sorry.
Steven • Aug 8, 2019 - 12:30 PM
Ok.
Quintin • Aug 8, 2019 - 12:31 PM
FYI, there are some new messages piling up for you in your Grindr inbox. Sorry for the multiple threads. I just happened to respond via whichever app I was using when the conversation occurred to me.
Quintin • Aug 8, 2019 - 2:14 PM
No worries.
Steven • Aug 8, 2019 - 2:59 PM
I just know that the longer the messages get, the less likely you are to have time to read them thoroughly, and I didn't want you to log in and see a mountain of words and think you were being confronted or something. Just making sure you had a heads up because the content is of some concern. That's all.
Quintin • Aug 8, 2019 - 3:03 PM
Belly considullate, and tt'ottfull of you. Yu' ahh leaning yone glass-hoppah,"
Steven • Aug 8, 2019 - 4:23 PM
Very considerate:
Steven • Aug 8, 2019 - 4:23 PM
Said as a stereotypical Chinese old man.
Steven • Aug 8, 2019 - 4:23 PM
I thought for a brief moment you had found Belly, but no. You were just being racist.
Quintin • Aug 8, 2019 - 4:24 PM
And for the record, I've always been very considerate. It's kind of my calling card.
Quintin • Aug 8, 2019 - 4:29 PM
Indeed
Steven • Aug 8, 2019 - 4:36 PM
Sorry if I got too wordy. And if I pissed you off. Call me when you can arrange a time to meet somewhere with my things, and you don't have to see me if you don't want to.
Quintin • Aug 8, 2019 - 11:53 PM
Can I get a shout out to make sure we are still speaking? I'm a little gun shy when you go silent these days.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 7:55 Am
We're good.
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 8:21 AM
Thank you. Sorry if I made things uncomfortable there at the end last night. I really just want us to get past all this. I hope you understand.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 8:23 Am
At the risk of further irritation, just have to ask if there's any chance of a hand-off this afternoon. I can probably leave the office around 4:00, but my reiki healer arrives on the 6:00 train.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 8:30 Am
But I don't want to risk having you shut down communication on me again if things start to feel overwhelming in the process. That only hinders progress for us both.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 8:31 Am
You received a picture.
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 8:56 AM
You received a picture.
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 8:56 AM
New hat,
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 8:56 AM
Somebody gave it to Rory and I yoink'd it
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 8:56 AM
You received a picture.
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 8:57 AM
And adorned with all the proper accoutrement
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 8:57 AM
Nice. The flare makes me a little sad, though. When I sent it, I don't think I expected it
to become your slogan or for you to make it such a key element in your personal brand. It was meant to
sting and to remind you how cutting those words were to me. Or maybe it does and you're just very proud
of that. (shrug) Hard to tell.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 9:20 Am
And since you are still not acknowledging the question on the table, I will assume you
don't want to talk about this exchange that needs to happen, and that you are resorting to the usual
tactic of distract and run in order to avoid the topic. Fine. I won't push. But I'm not going to keep
taking no answer for an answer, either. This needs to be done, and I've tried every way I know how to
make it as convenient for you as possible. But now it's becoming inconvenient for me. Please give me a
call so we can make arrangements when you have break today? Please?
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 9:33 Am
I can reserve a ZipCar today from 4:00 until 7:00
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 11:29 Am
Ok. I tried. Have a great weekend, Steven.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 1:25 PM
Okay here's the deal. I just got off of work. I don't believe I work tonight at the
Outlook, so I will be heading home here very shortly to put me home right about 4:00. If you wanted to
do this ZipCar thing if it's not too late, by all means. The wooden table I'm going to hold on to it for
a little bit longer, because I haven't found something to put in its place. But if you would like, I do
have an entertainment center that you can have. I've had it for a few years, but it's decent.
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 1:54 PM
That's black particle board with a silver gray legs to two cabinets three shelves
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 1:55 PM
I'm going to be in a Honda Civic. Not able to carry much in the way of big furniture.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:00 PM
I reserved the car for 4:00 pick up, which is the earliest I can leave. I decided to get it regardless of whether you replied or not, because I can use it to run errands before picking up my guest at the train station at 6:00.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:01 PM
I'd hoped to have that table, because I have no desk at the moment.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:02 PM
So I can't even set up my computer.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:03 PM
Cool man she's pretty awesome. Well, I will be getting on the bus here in a few minutes, that will probably have me at home about 4, although I might need to swing through Seattle to pick something up from Jose. so they might neglect 4/3
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:03 PM
what was it supposed to be supposed to say 4:30
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:03 PM
Who are you talking to?
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:03 PM
I do still have your little wall table
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:04 PM
Yeah I don't know what. we'll talk about it when you get to my place
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:04 PM
Did you want me to grab anything from Jose for you?
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:04 PM
How much for a ball? I'm weening.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:05 PM
Ball is $80 I believe, been a minute since I've ordered a ball
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:06 PM
And a quarter?
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:06 PM
$125
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:07 PM
I'm tight on funds. The financial assistance I was supposed to have to support me with my move fell through at the last minute.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:08 PM
I'll send you the $125.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:08 PM
But, please, Steven. I have a hard deadline to be at the Amtrak station at 6:45, so I can't be late.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:09 PM
Yah I had to sell some things to make it through. Seafair week killed me financially.
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:09 PM
Yeah, I got you.
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:09 PM
Waiting for you to unblock me on CashApp.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:23 PM
You covered all your bases when you shut me out.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:24 PM
And, FYI my manager just strolled up and asked me to come down the hall to a vacant office for an unscheduled meeting with just her at 3:00. Fuck. End of the day on a Friday? I guess your phone call is finally paying off.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:26 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:28 PM
I want to punch that snotty little app right in its bitchy little face.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:29 PM
Hello?
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:35 PM
I'm going to just run. Pack up my shit and break for it before she has a chance to fire me over your bullshit call.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:39 PM
Unblocking done
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:48 PM
Money sent. Hopefully it's not the last I'll be getting after this fucking meeting in 10 minutes.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:51 PM
Like I said, blame it on a crazy ex. Say I am your ex-boyfriend, and I was going out for blutt'(blood)
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:57 PM
We're not boyfriends. You owe me no loyalty. Remember? Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Here I go. My heart is going to explode, so maybe that will get me a reprieve.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 2:59 PM
I'm about to be on the bus to Fed Way
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 4:18 PM
I'm almost to the car downtown.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 4:19 PM
K. So to be clear, are you picking me up from transit center?
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 4:20 PM
I can, sure.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 4:20 PM
Cool. Thank you. The bus is 2 minutes late.
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 4:22 PM
3 minutes.
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 4:22 PM
On 178
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 4:23 PM
I'm here at the garage
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 4:52 PM
https://www.google.com/maps/place/31635+23rd+Avenue+South%2C+Federal+Way%2C+WA+98003%2C+USA/
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 4:52 PM
Copy that? Over.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 4:59 PM
That's a big 10-4
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 5:06 PM
I'm about to pull up. 178
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 5:07 PM
K
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 5:07 PM
It doesn't actually go into the transit center
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 5:08 PM
Oh.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 5:08 PM
Weird.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 5:08 PM
I'll meet you by the street the driveway
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 5:09 PM
Can you walk to the garage? Is your drop off far?
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 5:10 PM
I am in the garage right now
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 5:11 PM
Please tell me that you found my keys in the car when you returned it.
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 8:58 PM
I did not
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 8:58 PM
I looked all through it though.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 8:59 PM
Are you sure you didn't put them in your bag?
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 9:00 PM
Please tell me that you found my keys in the car when you returned it.
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 9:01 PM
No
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 9:01 PM
Yes, as I dumped my bag out and shook it. I must have dropped them after the mailbox
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 9:06 PM
Or left them in the key slot of the mailbox. Oh well
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 9:06 PM
And just after I had that name and address placard put on there
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 9:06 PM
Did you find them??
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 9:40 PM
No
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 9:51 PM
Oh well
Steven • Aug 9, 2019 - 9:51 PM
Let me just get my houseguest situated for bed, and I'll walk back down to UW where I left the car.
Quintin • Aug 9, 2019 - 11:59 PM
Nothing. 🥺
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 1:31 Am
I rerented the car so I could access it, walked a mile back to it from my apartment, and tore it apart. All I found were an empty water bottle, a lighter, and some straw paper wrappers on the door handle. I looked under both seats, under the mats, and even in the trunk. No keys. Heading home now. It's raining again, so it's extra fun!
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 1:33 Am
Thank you. I'm sorry that you went and did all that.
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:26 AM
I'm pretty sure I lost them in the apartment complex.
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:26 AM
You're welcome. It's what I would have wanted you to do if the situation had been reversed.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:27 Am
I hope you find them.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:27 Am
Thank you
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 12:22 PM
Why are all of your fuck buddies so intent on talking to me? It's unreal. The torment just keeps coming.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 12:24 PM
Who?
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 12:24 PM
Don.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 12:24 PM
Don isn't really talking to me much anymore.
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 12:26 PM
I mean, he won. I don't understand why he feels the need to rub it in.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 12:27 PM
Oh, well that I didn't know.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 12:27 PM
Still, he has to know that there is not going to be some kind of friendship or whatever with me.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 12:28 PM
It was hurtful enough having to sit and watch you two together for a meal.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 12:29 PM
I'm going to block him.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 12:30 PM
If he says something to you about it, please tell him I'm sorry, but I can't.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 12:32 PM
And if you wouldn't mind, just in general, encourage the guys you fuck to just leave me alone.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 12:33 PM
Please. That was meant to be a polite request. Not a bitchy one.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 12:34 PM
Yeah, you're good
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 12:50 PM
So, meeting Rory was hardly the queenfest bitch fight you envisioned. You really ought to give us bottoms more credit. We are more than sandwich making cum holes here to battle over your cock. We actually have more restraint and complexity of behavioral response than you tops seem to think.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 3:02 PM
😒
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 3:02 PM
Also, make your own sandwich, pig.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 3:03 PM
🐖
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 3:03 PM
Don't lump me in with all the other tops. I don't have any misconceptions about me being awesome or all that great.
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 3:14 PM
I'm a total Monet - looks okay from a distance, but up close, a total mess!
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 3:15 PM
I think Monet would agree that everyone is, which is why he painted them thusly.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 3:16 PM
I should have "Caveat Emptor" tattooed across my forehead, because as street worthy and enticing as I look sitting in the driveway under perfect lighting, you take a look under the hood or get me out on the road for a test drive, and you'll quickly figure out I'm a 🍋.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 3:19 PM
Nah, just a foreign car without an operator's manual
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 3:30 PM
All one has to do to understand my operation is to get me up on struts and spend some time messing around with my undercarriage. A worthy driver knows how to handle a car by listening to it run.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 3:33 PM
These new hybrids are different than the originals. Sounds are different, and performance is good until it isn't, not like on the originals, where you could foresee problems to arise
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 3:59 PM
Take one more metaphorical step in that direction. I dare you.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 4:00 PM
We're about to go back to talking about jacked up paintings real quick.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 4:01 PM
Haha
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 4:04 PM
I'm shocked I'm seeing this shirt somewhere other than in your shop first
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 4:14 PM
You received a picture.
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 4:14 PM
Tacky.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 4:15 PM
Where's the artistry?
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 4:16 PM
I haven't posted a new design in over a month. And I can't even set up my computer without a desk. My previous one was destroyed trying to move it down two flights of stairs by myself.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 4:18 PM
Yea, You should have one that says something like, well, "cum inside me bro" but not cum
inside me. like ejaculate within my person but like a French or scientifically or some smarty arty way
that you can, I also think that it in like a French script or in what looks like a wax stamp or
something would be neat.
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 4:21 PM
So, I was just looking over our messages yesterday. I'm not saying that I message a lot, but for me,
I have been messaging a LOT. And it's mostly been in the last week. And mainly with you. I'm
not saying I don't message, but typically I'll do a few messages to one person, a few messages to
another person, and then see if we are hanging or not, whoever it may be. I think what I'm getting at
is...... Are we, like, pen pals or something?
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 4:25 PM
I know. I'm confused, too. You tricked me with your sudden responsiveness and willingness
to admit things, and that sucked me back in. Plus, you saddled me with this ugly fucking banana, so now
I can't sever all ties as I had planned to do until you come and get this horrendous thing out of my
beautiful home.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 4:28 PM
Which, I'm realizing now, ^ was probably not the best incentive I could have given for you to retrieve the banana.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 4:30 PM
So, look. Here's what's up as of 4:32 PM on August 19, 2019. I hold you responsible for an
inordinate amount of cruelty toward me, and I don't forgive you. I'm angry as hell at you, and for the
last week or so, I've wanted nothing more than to never speak to you, hear from you, see you online, or
even remember you ever again. What you did, and the way you did it, not to mention your reason for doing
it? Horrible. Unforgivable. When you made the first move and lifted the iron curtain, it enraged me. But
you were contrite, for the most part. You showed me that at least some of the things you said and did, you were
sorry for, and against my better judgement I let you fucking hug me yesterday. Twice! That made
my skin crawl but it also melted a little bit of the ice that formed around my heart in the wake of my
dismissal from your life. I'm not sure where we go from here. I'm not sure how to look at your face
without hating what you did to me. But here we are nonetheless, so I guess I'm willing to see if being a
friend is something you can do with the level of respect I now insist upon. If so, then maybe we can
begin to heal the fracture that swallowed up all the good parts of being friends. Maybe.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 4:41 PM
(see how long it took to type that? That shit deserves to be read and responded to.)
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 4:42 PM
(preferably on the phone, because your voice-to-text is shit.)
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 4:43 PM
"Because," he continued...
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 5:28 PM
The thing is, say we go back to being friends. Is it the kind of friends that YOU are
comfortable with, meaning that all of the changes that have to occur in order for a friendship to resume
are being made by me? Or are you able to open up to the type of friendship that *I* want, which means
you'd have to owe me some measure of loyalty and improve your communication with me by a factor of 100? I'm not
sure either of us is really able to commit to those conditions, and in the absence of change, what do we become?
A fucked up carbon copy of you and Rory? Where you keep me at arm's length, not letting me in but not letting
me go either? Where I pester you for affection until you get fed up and destroy my world with your cruel words
and deeds, and then we make up, rinse, and repeat? No, thank you. Not about it. Clearly we have some discussion
ahead of us if we are going in any direction besides away from one another. Let's have them.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 5:36 PM
I know it sounds silly but... I like talking to you. Always have. As for "change" and who
it is that it is happening for or to. Meh. I'm trying to live a more genuine existence, corny as it
sounds. I used to. I don't like not being what I am and not doing what I like. That being said. I'm very
accepting of other people's quirks. And I like to find the same. A problem that arises is one will
withhold troubles or likes to a point where it's maddening. Or on the flip, one will take what's offered
not thinking it simply a gesture and thereby taking advantage of the situation or person. Not
intentionally, at first, but it becomes a source of guilt, only addressed by admitting what one has done. Taking
advantage by not not taking or refusing.
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 7:11 PM
I did read all of your messages, btw.
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 7:11 PM
Today, that is. haha
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 7:11 PM
🤐
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 7:11 PM
I lost you about two thirds of the way through your response. It needs context, which is more easily asked for face-to-face or on the phone.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 7:13 PM
If you want to give voice chat a try at some point, let me know. I realize it's an antiquated means of communication for your generation, but it still has value.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 7:14 PM
The fact that you had to spend money to get what is yours already. Most recent example I can think of. Or you offering and me not refusing. I guarantee my bringing it back to you, you had to spend money essentially on me.
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 7:17 PM
I see it happen sometimes, and it almost seems like I'm powerless to stop it once the ball is rolling. I don't like it.
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 7:17 PM
Wait. Maybe my chakras are confusing me, but was that last bit a continuation of a previous convo?
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 7:19 PM
No, I got it.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 7:21 PM
Ok
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 7:21 PM
Was interpreting it in reverse
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 7:21 PM
Look, I never set out to make you feel guilty except on exactly three occasions. If the
things I did voluntarily and therefore of my own volition, made you feel guilty for whatever reason, I'm
not at fault, but I am sorry, because it means I could have done a better job of communicating. Or it
means you might have done a poor job of reading/retaining the info I provided. Who knows?
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 7:25 PM
But I have to wonder if part of what often caused you to feel "guilty" was my fault, and how much of it was due to feelings you might not have wanted to admit to. Just wondering...it doesn't matter one way or the other... just wondering.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 7:27 PM
Sorry, I'm getting text weary. I still want to have this conversation. I do. But not via this medium.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 7:28 PM
Understood
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 7:40 PM
I mean, that's not asking too much, right?
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 7:42 PM
You typically get text weary after three, maybe four. I'm impressed with this newfound stamina.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 7:43 PM
Haha
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 7:55 PM
But I know you said you had to close tonight. If you still want to maybe talk tonight, I'll be up. I sent my guest home early, but I have a ton of work to get done at home, so I will be fueling up soon.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 7:57 PM
If not, that's fine. Just maybe give me an idea as to when.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 7:58 PM
Not necessarily a conversation to have whilst on the bus in the middle of the night.
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 8:07 PM
I was thinking maybe once you got home, but I guess I can see how that might also be an inhospitable environment from which to have a conversation of this import if Rory is there full time now.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 8:08 PM
Well that isn't so much the issue as I won't be getting home till 3:00-ish.
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 8:09 PM
In which case, to answer your original question, yes. It would appear that for the time being, we are indeed pen pals.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 8:09 PM
Last time I checked, 3:00 still falls within the window of "up all night", but I can't keep up with you kids and your ever-changing lingo.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 8:11 PM
Weird
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 8:11 PM
😋 I'll understand if that's too late for you, though. I've been on the sleepy side of the availability curtain between us before.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 8:14 PM
Have you ever heard of a drug called SAS?
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 9:39 PM
Supposed to be a precursor form of MDMA?
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 9:41 PM
Yah, Urban Myth I think, also there's a pill that had cilicybin
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 10:04 PM
I have in my possession what is supposed to be 2 doses of SAS. My guess is that it's nothing more than uncut MDMA.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 10:06 PM
Judging by the looks of it.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 10:06 PM
A gift from the Reiko who said it would help to secure the alignment of my shakras for a time, free of charge.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 10:08 PM
This after two miscarriages following two unexpected injections of chi, which I thought was verboten in tantric healing. Something about channeling the ejaculate energy through the eighth shakra instead of wasting the chi here on the physical plane, which leads me to believe that perhaps my Reiko was a well hung Fake-o.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 10:12 PM
(shrug)
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 10:14 PM
You sent a GIF.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 10:14 PM
Cool. That was nice of them.
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 10:49 PM
Well, maybe. The proof is in the pudding, so I have to trust in his good nature enough to try it out, and my trust tank is running on fumes.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 10:50 PM
Wait, how do you manage to get home around 3:00 in the morning after a late shift like this? Don't the buses stop running around 11
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 10:52 PM
I get to catch the e line downtown and then the 147 to Tukwila then from Tukwila to take the A line to the Federal Way Transit Center then walk home from there
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 10:53 PM
As the last 901 goes by at 9:30
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 10:53 PM
Ew, gross!
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 10:54 PM
That sounds awful
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 10:55 PM
I can't help problem solving, so I looked up ZipCar pricing. I can get the same car for $9.75/hr, which means a drive up to Seattle and back with a drop off in Federal Way on the return journey would only cost $22
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:03 PM
Which is $17 more than I have made tonight.
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:04 PM
Which the good Samaritan in me kinda feels is worth it just for the sake of being a kind person.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:05 PM
What time do you work tomorrow?
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:05 PM
Same time. My buddy Mikael said he'd pick me up at the FW Transit Center, but that's at like 2:30
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:06 PM
I don't think I'll call him either way
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:07 PM
You received a picture.
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:09 PM
On a totally different and somewhat bragging note check it out. I was in the "Most Woofed" earlier today!
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:09 PM
So, are you saying you don't want my help in getting you home sooner? It's fine either way. But the offer is there. I'm not going to stop being a kind, caring person just because it's rarely reciprocated.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:09 PM
Oh. How fun that must feel. Congrats.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:10 PM
Of course I would love a ride home, but I would feel obligated that I needed to pay you for the trip, and I don't have it.
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:10 PM
That's a very flattering photo.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:10 PM
I'm not asking for your money. Not everything has to be transactional! You can't treat me like a John if you're not gonna do any dicking. I consider you a friend, Steven, so when I can, I do. Okay?
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:11 PM
Man, honestly just explain what a bunch of people over from like 2,000 miles away were hitting me up. Thank you for the compliment on the photo. That 3 second timer makes all the difference.
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:11 PM
Ironically, sometimes a feeling of debt is sufficiently repaid by simply extending someone a small measure of loyalty and perhaps a pinch of priority now and then.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:12 PM
I know, but given the current state of affairs between Stevenezuala and Quintintinople, I didn't know if tarrifs were in place or whatever.
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:13 PM
Which is to say that answering texts promptly is just as valuable sometimes.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:13 PM
Indeed, crow is being expertly prepared by an Eskimo medicine man, or a native crackhead. Not sure.
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:14 PM
I have a great recipe for crow in Mammaw's grimoire.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:14 PM
Happy to share that, too.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:15 PM
What kind of tariff, exactly, do you suspect I'd be interested in implementing, Steven? I'm curious.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:16 PM
Aside from respect and common decency, there's nothing I want from you anymore. Ok, that fucking table, maybe. But that's it.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:17 PM
I know how snappy that probably read, but I'm on a very calm keel at the moment.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:19 PM
But in order to orchestrate this act of kindness, there are steps I need to take, which require some basic information like what time and where.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:21 PM
It takes me roughly half an hour to walk the mile from home to the car, and I have to start the rental at the top or middle of the hour.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:22 PM
Is there any weird traffic stuff going on in Seattle beyond the Capitol Hill exits I'm familiar with? Would it make sense to pick you up downtown or all the way up North, given my drive time?These are the questions.
Quintin • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:24 PM
I don't know of any weird traffic stuff. Of course I have not been driving for three weeks. I will be downtown roughly at 12:45 at like 3rd and Pike area. Kind of a sketchy area. Or at Denny and Aurora right by the Space Needle and the Pink Elephant Car Wash. Choice is yours.
Steven • Aug 10, 2019 - 11:57 PM
I'm leaving my house now.
Quintin • Aug 11, 2019 - 12:26 AM
Ok.
Steven • Aug 11, 2019 - 12:26 AM
Just finishing up here at the restaurant and I guess I'll go ahead and head downtown
Steven • Aug 11, 2019 - 12:44 AM
Denny and Aurora is where I will be by the Pink Elephant Car Wash
Steven • Aug 11, 2019 - 12:44 AM
Just got in the car.
Quintin • Aug 11, 2019 - 12:44 AM
En route.
Quintin • Aug 11, 2019 - 12:44 AM
Ok
Steven • Aug 11, 2019 - 12:44 AM
I'm here
Quintin • Aug 11, 2019 - 12:53 AM
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=47.241180,-122.385719
Quintin • Aug 11, 2019 - 12:53 AM
Cool I have eight minutes till the Aurora bus picks me up and then it'll be like a 12-minute ride downtown. Yeah. Like I said, I'm going to get off at the Denny and Aurora stop. I'll be by the Pink Elephant Car Wash. Could, like, I can start walking towards the Hill down Denny... in fact that's what I will do.
Steven • Aug 11, 2019 - 12:54 AM
Ok, see you in about 40.
Steven • Aug 11, 2019 - 12:55 AM
I'll walk to the Hill. I feel safer there.
Steven • Aug 11, 2019 - 12:55 AM
Home.
Quintin • Aug 11, 2019 - 3:16 AM
Good. Thank you again.
Steven • Aug 11, 2019 - 3:16 AM
You're welcome
Quintin • Aug 11, 2019 - 3:16 AM
Didn't really shave much off your trip, I guess. But I'm happy we talked some.
Quintin • Aug 11, 2019 - 3:17 AM
Thanks for that.
Quintin • Aug 11, 2019 - 3:18 AM
Indeed
Steven • Aug 11, 2019 - 3:20 AM
I'm glad we talked.
Steven • Aug 11, 2019 - 3:20 AM
I'm glad it was an honest dialogue. I was afraid it might be another one of those situations where
you felt cornered and diverted to any and everything but what needed to be said. But you were open and honest
with me, and I appreciate that. I hope it's the beginning of a new chapter wherein you know that you can always
be that way about any topic when it's with me. You know that, right?
Quintin • Aug 11, 2019 - 3:25 AM
Ok, maybe not about internal organs, veins, or, for the time being, your sex life. But everything else.
Quintin • Aug 11, 2019 - 3:27 AM
Grindr messaging doesn't work from the house party I'm at, so I had to bug you here...
Quintin • Aug 11, 2019 - 5:43 PM
I'm having trouble understanding why you can't use your own entertainment center in lieu of the desk that I actually have a need for.
Quintin • Aug 11, 2019 - 5:43 PM
That table would not work well as a desk. it's got a 4-inch liver on the whole side and that entertainment center is too big and bulky for the small space I have
Steven • Aug 11, 2019 -6:56 PM
Better than the nothing I currently have, though. Anyway, if you're not ready to give it over just yet, it doesn't matter. I'll come up with something.
Quintin • Aug 11, 2019 - 6:57 PM
And I hate liver. Yuck.
Quintin • Aug 11, 2019 - 6:58 PM
The wall table should work as a nice desk
Steven • Aug 11, 2019 - 6:58 PM
So why would you eat liver?
Steven • Aug 11, 2019 - 6:58 PM
I don't! You said that table has a 4-inch liver.
Quintin • Aug 11, 2019 - 6:59 PM
Ah, lip. A 4-inch lip.
Steven • Aug 11, 2019 - 7:47 PM
Soup coolers. Got it.
Quintin • Aug 11, 2019 - 7:47 PM
Does Rory live with you full-time now?
Quintin • Aug 11, 2019 - 8:40 PM
No, not full-time
Steven • Aug 11, 2019 - 9:51 PM
Not really my business. I'm just curious about all the changes that happened during my exile, that's all.
Quintin • Aug 11, 2019 - 9:52 PM
No, he's not living with me full-time just yet. He probably will be, and we have reached a point where that's okay. I'm in a one-year lease in a one-bedroom, so one of us will be sleeping on the couch and by "one of us" I do mean him. Then we'll get a two-bedroom eventually after he's done with all his chemo and everything to start working, assuming that he makes it through everything.
Steven • Aug 11, 2019 - 10:02 PM
That's kinda what I saw eventually happening. It's good for him to have you there, especially in
the currernt set of circumstances. You just need to grow your patience a bit if you're going to fill that role
without going crazy and/or driving him there, too. With a history as long as yours, it's not surprising, though.
It's touching, in a way.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 2:20 AM
He has me, and his oldest sister, that's it. His other sister sent him a text, "sorry bout' the
cancer" with some bad nut joke. So yah, he was going to do the chemo in Sedro Woolley as there is a clinic
there. However, his doctor(s) have decided that he is only doing his treatment at the harbor view on 9th, so
they can be a part of. Two of the best took a personal interest in the cancer. Apparently it is acting
differently than anything else they have seen.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 2:24 AM
Leave it to Rory. Hahaha That's good, though. I'd much rather have the personal curiosity of a couple of leading oncologists if it were me! Interest = attention, which could make a big difference.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 2:28 Am
You're likely to be getting yourself a live-in ex-boyfriend for life. Won't that be interesting?
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 2:29 Am
Indeed. Right place and time. The one that is now his PCP is she was covering for somebody else for like 30, happened to be the 30 min Rory was being seen
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 2:29 AM
Yah. Interesting.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 2:30 AM
I'm going to have to build a mother-in-law apartment, or a ..... Ummmmm ,..... A ummm..........Ex-boyfriend-box?
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 2:31 AM
Not sure I'll come up with a name
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 2:31 AM
.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 2:31 AM
^ Meant for after sure and before I'll.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 2:32 AM
Hey, I've been meaning to tell you...all that ugly shit I wrote in those last hateful emails, you
know I didn't mean any of that, right? I was so, so hurt, and in the moment, I found myself reaching for every
remaining button I could push to try and give you back some small part of the hurt you caused, and I'm so, so
sorry that I did. I just knew a few hard cutting blows to get maximum effect, but I felt awful even while typing
much of it. I'm sorry, Steven.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 2:35 Am
I was actually hoping that by then you were truly just deleting everything without reading so that
all that meanness would end up being for no one's eyes but my own, serving no purpose but to make me feel like
at least I'd stood up for myself in that most unfair of battles I've ever had the displeasure of being pulled
into.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 2:38 Am
I'm not a fighter. Words are my only defense and my strongest weapon, and I regret using those painful words against you.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 2:40 Am
I'm not sure how to take silence after that. Is it an indication that there's no forgiveness? I certainly understand if that's the case.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 10:24 AM
Likewise. I'm sorry the whole situation happened.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 10:28 AM
Indeed.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 10:28 Am
I'm not holding anything against my chest, nor am I holding anything against you.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 10:29 AM
I won't say I'm sorry for the feelings that developed that led to the big meltdown. Those were authentic, and I'm glad to learn that I still had the capacity to feel that way for someone. It's just regrettable that they happened in this situation, for you, right now.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 -10:30 Am
Yeah, I'm not sorry for feelings. I'm sorry for timing.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 -10:34 AM
Yeah. Sucks.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 10:34 Am
And that's why it's hard to imagine how we are supposed to go forward as if those feelings aren't there. It seems like a road filled with sadness and denial.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 -10:36 AM
I've spent too many years on that road. Years I'll never get back that could have been spent looking for a small piece of happiness for myself.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 10:37 Am
Maybe you can teach me how to turn them off.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 10:39 AM
So that when I look at you, I'm not filled with the urge to grab you and hold you and care so hard for you. Because that's what I had to suppress all those weeks, and what led me to such desperation the weekend of Pride when I thought you'd thrown me away the first time.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 -10:43 AM
If you ever had feelings like that, I would love to know what your trick is for turning them off or rerouting them into something less consuming. What's your secret?
Quintin • Aug 12,2019 - 10:44 Am
That got deep. Hahaha We can put a pin it until there's a chance to talk about it in person.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 11:08 Am
The knowledge that I'm not important or special enough for people to be troubled by. That and the
fear of being hurt (or more specifically) the fear of anyone being close enough to hurt me. But at the same time
having an addiction to social interaction, so I had to find a way to alleviate both urges without actually ever
satisfying either. The biggest thing that allows me to cut ties with people and not look back is knowing that
I'm a toxic force. The humanitarian in me applauds when I stop ruining other people, people's lives, people's
property, emotions, wants and needs.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 11:13 AM
You've heard me make the "joke" about being a Scorpio\Libra? "I'm incredibly selfish, but I feel bad about it." It's not so much a joke as a sad truth.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 11:13 AM
Libra/Scorpio Cusp
♎Libra is the seventh sign of the zodiac; ♏Scorpio is the eighth. After Libra’s intellectual exploration of other people, Scorpio’s interest is in discovering other people’s emotions and how they respond to the world around them. Scorpio is the sign of sex and death, the beginning and ending, and they explore these ideas from an emotional standpoint. They have an overwhelming need to be liked.
The astrological symbol of Libra is the Scales. Like the scales of justice, Librans are objective and just. They abhor unfairness and conflict, striving above all for peace; but at times they are easily deterred from their beliefs. Librans are able to see all sides of an argument, but as their mental scales sway back and forth, they may never find balance. The astrological symbol of Scorpio is the Scorpion. Like the mythical scorpion, those born under this sign tend to be strong-willed and wary of being controlled by others. In keeping with Libra’s cardinal quality, Libra/Scorpios are diplomatic and cooperative; they are skilled at initiating group projects. They can be stubborn, refusing to give up when others have long since become bored and abandoned a project. Libra/Scorpios get things done when no one else thought it possible. In this way, the fixed quality of Scorpio is expressed. When Libra/Scorpios set goals for themselves, they are determined to succeed. They have their own agenda and work to achieve their desires.
Libra is ruled by the planet Venus. In mythology, Venus (and her Greek equivalent, Aphrodite) was the goddess of love, beauty and pleasure. She represented joy, happiness and appreciation of beautiful things. Scorpio is ruled by the planets Mars and Pluto. Mars (and his Greek equivalent, Ares) was the god of war, and ancient astrologers assigned both Aries and Scorpio to this planet. Pluto (and his Greek equivalent, Hades) was the god of the underworld, and when the planet Pluto was discovered early in the 20th century, astrologers assigned Scorpio to it.
Libra/Scorpios are seductive and attractive, commanding and intense. Cultural awareness and a talkative nature help them shine in the social situations they so enjoy. The element associated with Libra is Air. The element associated with Scorpio is Water.
Libra/Scorpios are skilled at communication and abstract reasoning, and their intelligence combines with their interest in others to become an intellectual exploration of those around them. They may repress their emotions, but underneath they are lusty and perceptive. Libra/Scorpios are motivated and loyal, but they are often misunderstood and may be seen as dictatorial or sarcastic. If they have an ulterior motive, they can be overbearing, but in a subtle, sly or manipulative way.
Libra/Scorpios are both mystical and scientific, a combination that makes them very aware of what is happening around them; they are a sign of great depth. If they aren’t careful, though, their passionate nature may lead them into self-indulgence or compulsion at the expense of those they care about most. In their leisure time, Libra/Scorpios tend to have a definite lazy streak. However, this is barely perceptible because they also enjoy difficult pursuits that challenge them to excel, and they refuse to settle for being anything less than the best. They may have a particular affinity for activities that let them get out in nature or that involve seduction and flirtation.
The great strength of the Libra/Scorpio-born is in their drive for peace and harmony and their determination to see things through to the end. Their skill at seeing all sides of a situation with great passion and strength makes them one of the most powerful characters of the zodiac, but if Scorpio overpowers Libra, they often find themselves remorseful of the self-gratifying and damaging behaviors that result from Scorpio's impulsive pursuits, usually after it is too late to repair.
I know that for me if I can turn it off I feel like it's when you don't throw away a six-pack ring, you're saving lives
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 11:13 AM
I think I'm going to go get put on like Prozac or something. Something to take away all the feeling.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 11:14 AM
Or, and this may sound crazy, but hear me out - maybe explore some healthy ways of managing those feelings and allowing those who love you to do so without fearing that you could bolt at any moment trying to save them from you?
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 11:15 AM
The thing about relationships is that it's meant to be like teamwork. You don't get to make the decisions for the whole team about whether or not they will play. It's about communication, compromise, and shared responsibilities in managing the relationship's highs and lows.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 11:17 AM
It requires trust, talking regularly about everything...every. thing. And it takes a lot of willingness to fall down once in a while knowing that the other partner(s) will be there to catch you.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 11:19 Am
Oh, trust, I understand how relationships work. Or at least how they're supposed to do. I
was in one for over 13 years, and believe it or not, we were a healthy couple for a long time. But I'm
not good for people. I'm kind of like treating heroin addiction with methadone - replacing loneliness
with anguish. At least lately.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 11:20 AM
Most of the problems I've had my whole life any time that I've really fallen.... It's not so much that people keep me from falling, as much as I pull others down.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 11:21 AM
I see.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 11:22 Am
Well, it's not my place to lecture you about shoulds, coulds, or woulds, especially when it
comes to being in a healthy relationship. My wisdom on that subject is purely academic. My longest
relationship was 3 years, was abusive and volatile, and ended due to infidelity, deception, and
betrayal. It destroyed my faith in men, and in my ability to trust or love again. That was in 2003. You
certainly know what works or doesn't work for you, and I can only make my feelings known to you, not
dictate how you manage yours for me. But given your stance on the possibility of an "us" being verboten,
I have to consider what that means for me and for my own chance to be happy with someone I love who
loves me back. It sucks. I don't like it. But I have to accept it.(sigh)
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 11:28 Am
And truthfully, I'm not sure there are that many chances for that ahead of me. This whole
thing happening was a fluke that was never planned or even wanted, so the pragmatist in me knows the
odds of it happening again, but with a willing partner that can love me back, are slim to none. Still, that's no reason for me
to cling to the hope that someday you will relent and just let yourself feel what you feel back. That's
not fair to either of us.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 11:33 Am
So what should I do now? Force my feelings for you back down into a jar that I hide away
until maybe, possibly a year or ten down the road you give a sign that it's ok to break the glass and
let 'em out to breathe? What does that feel like everyday while we keep acting out the lite version of
friendship? Do I cut my losses and ride the current river of anger and frustration on out and away from
you so that the feelings can finish withering and dying on the vine? It would be easier, I think. Sure!
But it has repercussions on you, as well. You lose a friend simply because he couldn't join you on the
no feels bench during the game. And I lose more than a chance of love down the road. I lose someone who
has had a huge impact on my life whose friendship I value and respect.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 11:43 Am
Every scenario is filled with loss, except for the one that you're unwilling or unable to allow.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 11:44 Am
So, you figure that and world peace out sometime today on one of your breaks, and let me know what the answer is.😉
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 11:52 AM
Also, it's not shutting you out that I need help figuring out how to do. I was there, right
there at the precipice, when you lifted the iron curtain. It's shutting off the love so that you can
operate within the confines of the strictly non-romantic friendship without feeling those feelings that
I'm struggling with. You seem to have done it rather well, so I'm asking you how.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 12:26 PM
That's not the case.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 1:36 PM
Then I'm very confused over how you managed to hide it so well.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 1:37 PM
It's the ability to not ignore, but entertain with the same amount of caution as believing Superman telling you everyone else can fly, they just have to jump off a building and try.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 1:37 PM
A hurricane of words, and scramming when things get "too real"
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 1:38 PM
I'm not trying to be funny or make jokes.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 1:39 PM
It didn't make you crazy with contradiction? Feeling one way but constantly behaving in another?
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 1:39 PM
No, I believe your earnestness. I'm just amazed by it.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 1:39 PM
Talking in circles, and going way off topic when anything even resembling seriousness of emotion arises. Or when it actually does come up, getting semi-defensive and saying I gotta go.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 1:40 PM
That's a reaction to the way I made you feel. You couldn't run away from your own feelings, though. They travel well.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 1:41 PM
No that's not the maddening part. The maddening part is knowing that it's easier for me to do than most others. The fair and right thing for me to have done, would have been putting a halt to everything when I realized that you felt something. I can hide myself well. Always have. In plain sight.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 1:42 PM
No one ever looks there.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 1:42 PM
Aloof isn't quite the word, I but can't think of a better one.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 1:43 PM
Speaking for myself, I'd sit for hours thinking about how I felt about you. When we hung out, it was always a challenge to refrain from tackling you and just kissing and holding and loving you. I never saw any indication of that struggle happening on your end. That's why for a long time I just assumed you weren't attracted to me at all, and that you were too scared to tell me so.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 1:43 PM
Hmm. I wish so many things could have been different, but chiefly, I just wish you could stop beating yourself up for things that haven't happened and let love happen where it happens.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 1:45 PM
But, since I don't have a magic lamp to rub, wishing isn't going to change anything.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 1:45 PM
Again, avoidance is an inherent trait in my family.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 1:48 PM
For as much as that ability had saved me from hurt, it likely kept me from ever truly having a deep connection, on a large level, with anybody ever. Even Rory. He and I do, yes, have probably the deepest I've had, next to my sister. But even still, I tried to cut him out. Would've, too, but he didn't let it happen. Still, even after 13 years, I could've walked away and not looked back.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 1:52 PM
I get that. And please don't mistake this discussion for any kind of criticism or judgement. I'm simply trying to get some frustrations quelled and exploring options for moving forward given the constraints you would want versus the "extras" I can't guarantee will be gone as wants for me.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 1:53 PM
I'm going to put my phone in my bag for a while. I just read what I put, and now am a bit sick to my stomach.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 1:53 PM
😶
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 1:53 PM
What do you think?
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 1:54 PM
Sorry
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 1:54 PM
I'll let it go.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 1:54 PM
But not before I say this: Clearly, something about us is different for both of us. It's
the first time I've felt this way in nearly two decades, and it's the first time you cracked open your
vault of goodbye to reach out to someone you didn't want to lose. I can't help but see that as a sign
that whatever uniqueness is responsible for those things happening might also prove to help us make it
work. I have seen inside of you, Steven. And you know me better than probably any person on this planet,
besides perhaps my lifelong fag hag, Tory. I think there's a chance here for us to slowly, carefully
work toward what might be the real deal. I'm notasking you to drop your fears and reservations at the
door and hop aboard the U.S.S. Love&Cuddles, but I do wishyou could consider that I just might be good
for you if you were willing to let me be. And vice versa, for what it's worth, even if you don't believe
it. I think your attempts to shield me from your destruction are what hurt me, and by proxy - us, the
most. When you let that shit go and lose yourself in the simple stuff with me, I soar. Those are the
times I've been the most content with what we had, and it was only when your instinct to batten down the
hatches resurfaced and you withdrew from me that I felt injured by you. All I'm saying is that I don't
want your protection. I want your trust that I can weather your storms if you give me the chance and
give yourself permission.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 2:24 PM
I think back to the morning we came to my place before I had to work, when we sat with no
big topic to be discussed, then you walked me to work on your way to the bus stop. We kissed goodbye,
and you walked on down the street while I watched, smiling from my soul. That was an effortlessly happy
morning for us both because the night before we did the hard work of talking things through and reaching
a meeting of the minds. I want that morning! Over and over, again and again!
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 3:05 PM
And now, knowing that those mornings are possible, it is impossible for me to stop wanting them.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 3:07 PM
You sent a GIF.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 3:12 PM
No. Until something more wanted comes along.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 3:26 PM
Or until one convinces oneself it is not
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 3:28 PM
Not sure which part of my long ass messages this is meant to address.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 3:28 PM
Are you afraid I'm going to want someone else more than you?
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 3:29 PM
Because I may have a belly laugh waiting to explode over that one if that's what you mean.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 3:30 PM
That's not a rational fear, and I have no way to prove it won't happen except to show you that it won't.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 3:32 PM
But I hope you know me well enough to have a sense of what kind of person I am - and that I
could never do something like that. It's why I'm such a big communicator. I try to make sure all doubt
is addressed through clear and honest conversation so that we stay on the same page. But if you mean
that the risk lies in you finding someone better, honey... I've lived in that hell for months now,
constantly aware that at any minute you could choose someone else over me. And look who is here trying
to find a way to take that risk every day going forward.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 3:39 PM
My silence in this particular occasion isn't about anything that you've said. What it is about is what I have just said and kind of admitted it to myself as well as inform you. I did send a message to that effect, informing you therein.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 3:40 PM
I don't have to be all that you want. I just need to know that no matter what, you *do* want me.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 3:40 PM
Where?
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 3:41 PM
When?
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 3:41 PM
You received a picture.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 3:42 PM
For real, right now, I kind of feel like the worst kind of person
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 3:42 PM
Oh, I knew why you put down your phone.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 3:45 PM
I understand.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 3:45 PM
But in typical me fashion, I had to keep going so that there would be a pile of new messages for you when you recovered. Sorry.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 3:46 PM
But I honestly do feel like I could give you that deep connection if you'd let me. It's a matter of whether YOU want that connection more than you want to be the product of your Hate Monster's bedtime stories to you. And if you want that kind of connection with me and all my various neuroses.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 3:49 PM
If not, that's real. And it makes things way simpler.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 3:50 PM
I'm still very curious about what you meant by that "until something more wanted comes along statement.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 3:51 PM
You're not a bad person, Steven. There's so much kindness in you. I see it all the time.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 3:57 PM
You couldn't have had the kind of impact on me that you have were that not true.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 3:57 PM
There's this cycle, though, that you go through. It's like, when you start to feel like people see you as a kind and compassionate person, you get worried that you won't be able to live up to that standard and that they will be disappointed when you can't, so you try to lower that bar and bash their expectations back down to a level you're comfortable meeting.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 4:01 PM
That intentional bashing? THAT is what hurts the people you think you're protecting.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 4:02 PM
I apologize. You probably feel a bit overwhelmed right now, and I'm not helping. Take your time. But let's try to talk on the phone soon, okay? It won't be as visually assaulting as my million words a minute texts.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 4:11 PM
I'm at work, since 4:00, so I haven't looked at my phone till now.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 5:10 PM
I know. I'm sorry. I hit the zone and couldn't stop myself.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 -5:10 PM
To summarize - I'd like us to talk on the phone. Soon.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 9:26 PM
Oh yeah, I figured. I just got off of work. Waiting for my ride.
Steven • Aug 12, 2019 - 9:30 PM
👍
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 9:30 PM
Sorry if I pushed too hard earlier.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 9:46 PM
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 11:58 PM
I believe in you, so much so that even when I hated you for what you did to me, I couldn't throw this away. I'm not letting you convince me otherwise.
Quintin • Aug 12, 2019 - 11:58 PM
That is appreciated very much, believe me. Doesn't change truth
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 12:02 AM
Forget what I just said in scruff chat. You need to stop this.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 12:06 AM
Please talk to me.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 12:06 AM
I'll call you tomorrow
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 12:06 AM
When I'm at the office? That's not exactly going to be the call it needs to be.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 12:07 AM
Fuck.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 12:07 AM
Scorpio is definitely rising right now.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 12:08 AM
This is so not fair
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 12:09 AM
Good night
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 12:09 AM
Sorry.
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 12:10 AM
Although, this illustrates my point
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 12:10 AM
If you were sorry you would stop trying to prove your point and talk to me
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 12:10 AM
I'm hurting, Steven. But it's from you saving me. Please stop trying to spare me. I can't take it.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 12:11 AM
I'm sorry.
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 6:53 AM
Can I borrow $25 bucks till Thursday?
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 6:57 AM
Please and thank you if yeah, and thank you anyway and I understand if not.
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 6:57 AM
Ok cool. Sorry for asking to begin with
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 8:23 AM
I hope you have a great day at work
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 8:23 AM
I overslept
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 8:24 AM
Eek.
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 8:24 AM
Just woke up
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 8:24 AM
Run Forrest, run!
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 8:25 AM
Thank you.
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 8:26 AM
You're welcome.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 9:35 AM
Hey, was there also a wine glass in the cabinet at your house that I lent to you?
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 9:36 AM
Can you double check for that and any other glasses (acrylic) that might still be there?
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 9:37 AM
The wine glasses are all I can think of. I think I may still have a glass straw or two
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 9:41 AM
That's fine. I don't need those.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 9:41 AM
So, wine glass, projector, remote for projector, and table - once you get something to take its place, right?
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 9:43 AM
I'm not able to ZipCar again until next Thursday. Down to my last $20 in the bank. So not sure if I can manage to get them until the end of next week, which sucks, but it is what it is.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 9:45 AM
I'll do my best to figure something out.🤷🏻♂️🤷♂️🙆🏻♂️🙆♂️🤦♂️🤦🏻♂️
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 9:48 AM
Shit, why, then, did you send me that? C'mon man.
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 9:49 AM
I'll get that back to you this evening
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 9:49 AM
This is not Quintin adding a task to Steven's already full plate of stress. I will figure something out. You will chill.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 9:49 AM
Because you needed it.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 9:49 AM
I'm fine.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 9:50 AM
I'll get my tips from yesterday today when I get to work.
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 9:50 AM
Steven. I'm fine. I have EBT.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 9:50 AM
I would've figured it out.
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 9:50 AM
Mhmm
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 9:51 AM
Well, maybe your friend helped take one thing off the list of things to figure out.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 9:51 AM
(eyes roll as neck slides to the left then the right) circa Angela Bassett
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 9:52 AM
Maybe a friend had to ensure that the friend that helps has help himself
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 9:53 AM
You know, some people, I've read, who are really, really close and care for one another have been documented doing nice things for one another out of love with no concern about themselves. It sounds lovely.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 9:54 AM
I think David Attenborough should narrate the Netflix series for that.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 9:55 AM
Y'know, I do believe I've heard tell of this, sounds like another urban legend
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 9:55 AM
Yeah, it does sound pretty far-fetched.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 9:56 AM
He does have a nice voice
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 9:56 AM
But I thought I'd give it a try anyway and see what comes of it.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 9:56 AM
Either my boss has no idea about your call, or she has been replaced by a very convincing
android that didn't quite finish downloading her memories and personality files before being rushed into
service. She just offered to loan me $500 to buy a second hand mid-century antique sofa from a consignment
shop she told me about. I can't be taking money from no mother-fuckin' android boss!
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 10:16 AM
I shouldn't have to work for a mother-fuckin' android boss to begin with, but since she's not firing me for what I was accused of, I'm not going to blow her cover. Yet.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 10:18 AM
You sent a GIF.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 10:21 AM
Well, honestly I probably sounded like a cracked out weir-wait.... Yah. Whoever is in charge of checking the voicemail probably just deleted it before even listening to it.
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 10:27 AM
I was very worked up.
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 10:27 AM
Fingers crossed
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 10:27 AM
It's the one thing I truly hope you managed to eff up.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 10:28 AM
Same
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 10:36 AM
I know you feel awful for having done that. It's one of my key pieces of evidence in the ongoing case of Quintin vs. Steven's Hate Monster. I plan to show the jury that both good and bad people sometimes do bad deeds, but that *only* a good person truly regrets them.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 11:51 AM
What time are you off work? Sorry I didn't get a chance to call during lunch. I had errands to run.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 1:16 PM
Around 10:00 I think
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 1:38 PM
Well, if you're not too tired, busy, or in your head when you get home, I'd love a chance to talk. (Not text!)
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 1:39 PM
And, yes.😕 I hear now how ominous sounding that can be, especially if you owe someone no loyalty. It's not. I promise.)
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 1:41 PM
Now like I said that day, urgh ...it wasn't meant to come across like that.
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 3:36 PM
Actually it was, but I'm sorry I put it so, how do you say.....
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 3:36 PM
Asshole-y.
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 3:37 PM
Yeah. I just think if I throw it out there enough, maybe it will lose its power to hurt me. But maybe not. It was pretty, how you say, "Asshole-y". That sentence had teeth!
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 3:39 PM
Still, my point was that I can see how hearing from me so often that I want to have a conversation might be intimidating in that you always have to be braced for another fucking "conversation" with me.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 3:41 PM
If she said enough of her freaking out and start cutting myself with pieces of broken plastic spoons? For that I'll bang my head against the wall until blood comes out of my ears? or heavens forbid start thinking about what I say and how it will effect the person I'm saying it to before I say it?
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 3:42 PM
You said at one point that you just wanted a friend who didn't need to have "conversations". I don't know if I will ever be that friend, but I'm trying harder to say what I mean, mean what I say, and not let it build up so much that discussing it requires its own special ceremony.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 3:43 PM
Sheesh Mr expects-a lot. Who would do something like that? Gah!
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 3:43 PM
Do...
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 3:46 PM
Say what kind of friend they don't want? Or require a ceremony?
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 3:46 PM
I do expect a lot. It's a small price to pay for the quality of the friendship and more that comes as part of my package.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 3:48 PM
😆
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 3:48 PM
Do what you say. say what you mean, cuz one thing leads to another
Steven • Aug 13, 2019 - 3:48 PM
Yes. With that exact beat and in the same key.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 3:58 PM
I'm letting you off the hook. I thought about it a lot this evening, like, a lot, and I decided
I don't want you talking to me about what I consider to be important things just because I pester you into
it. If we talk, I want it to be because you want to talk. It'll show me that you care to participate in
mending our relationship, and it will hopefully help to remove some of the not-the-same stress I've been
putting on you since we resumed peace talks.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 10:59 PM
So, go on and chillax or play or unwind your way. I'll do the same. And if you decide that talking to me on the phone sounds like something you feel like doing, I'll be here. Literally, right here. I can't afford to go anywhere right now.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 11:01 PM
(Unless, of course, that means you run around whooping and celebrating your freedom from
talking to me for too long, in which case I will probably have to pester a little, because I already have no
power in this dynamic to motivate you one way or another. So if nagging is all that's left for me to use,
well I suppose I gotta use it now and then or forego getting what I want, too)😉

Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 11:18 PM
At least there's no doubt you recognized the sacrifice involved in making that decision. I'm glad to know that you take it seriously.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 11:20 PM
Well, have a good night, Steven. Talk to you when I talk to you. Later.
Quintin • Aug 13, 2019 - 11:24 PM
Thanks for repaying the most recent loan. Are you sure you don't need to hold onto it for a couple more days, though? Is everything alright?
Quintin • Aug 14, 2019 - 4:49 PM
Ok, then. Thanks.
Quintin • Aug 14, 2019 - 5:43 PM
I'm so confused. I know you are stressed out and busy, but I don't understand what I did to
make you stop responding to me. Can't we just talk and be cool? You say "We good", but then don't respond to
anything else I say, and it makes me feel pretty darned unwanted.
Quintin • Aug 15, 2019 - 10:19 AM
Okay, my phone just broke. I had to buy a new one. I just got it turned on, so the message that you just sent me is the only message I
Steven • Aug 15, 2019 - 10:29 AM
And on Grindr? And on Instagram? And on Scruff? You've been seeing those messages, but only
responded to one on Grindr at 2:00 am after I gave up and went to sleep. And even that one was short and
unrelated to the overall topic. If you want me to leave you alone, just say so. Done. But leaving me to
wonder in silence what you're thinking or why I'm not hearing from you is not productive, and it just leads
me to make the wrong conclusion, which only pisses you off more.
Quintin • Aug 15, 2019 - 10:33 AM
That is certainly not my goal. I just want to talk to my friend, and my friend doesn't want to talk back. 😟
Quintin • Aug 15, 2019 - 10:35 AM
Quintin, my friend, please believe me when I say that talking shit out between us is very important to me. However, I haven't had time to jack off let alone have time for talking on the phone.
Steven • Aug 15, 2019 - 5:01 PM
Ok. I believe you. But taking the time to write (or speak) just those few words was all it took. Please, Steven, spare those few words once in a while.
Quintin • Aug 15, 2019 - 5:02 PM
I totally understand your position. And respect it. Just, I guess, try to squeeze in a morsel of extra energy here and there when you see me starting to spiral like that.
Quintin • Aug 15, 2019 - 5:04 PM
I just got my phone all working. It broke this morning about 9:15, 9:30. I didn't get back-up working until like after noon, but it just got it all set up now.
Steven • Aug 15, 2019 - 5:07 PM
Yeah I got you spiraling, Rory spiraling, it doesn't leave much time for me to correct my own spiral
Steven • Aug 15, 2019 - 5:08 PM
Good thing I'm without car, who knows I may have just up and left
Steven • Aug 15, 2019 - 5:09 PM
I'm sorry. I am. I didn't know the extent of your phone problems, mostly because you chose not
to go into any kind of detail about it. How much of the various people spiraling do you think could be
avoided altogether with a simple and quick response to any of a dozen unanswered messages on Grindr, Scruff,
or Instagram?
Quintin • Aug 15, 2019 - 5:13 PM
I really am sorry that taking even a couple of minutes to reply to me feels like a monumental
task you don't feel like undertaking. And I know it's not just me; it's the accumulation of all your fans
and friends. But, damn. Each of us feels like we are alone in our being ignored.
Quintin • Aug 15, 2019 - 5:15 PM
That being said, I got my deposit back from the Webster today, so if you need help, I can.
Quintin • Aug 15, 2019 - 5:16 PM
Since it appears I'm not actually being re-exiled after all.
Quintin • Aug 15, 2019 - 5:17 PM
Which is very much a relief. Thank you for quelling that fear.
Quintin • Aug 15, 2019 - 5:35 PM
I say, I say, thank ya, son! For a-quellin' ma fears!
Quintin • Aug 15, 2019 - 5:53 PM

(free of charge, because you my boy.)
Quintin • Aug 15, 2019 - 5:56 PM
So, what's the survey say, mister? Feeling like a visit? Or have you been seduced by your sofa?
Quintin • Aug 15, 2019 - 9:25 PM
I will not be speaking on behalf of the sofa, or be of, for that matter. As for the matter of a visit. Yah sounds good. I need to shower first. Been cleaning since I got home.
Steven • Aug 15, 2019 - 9:27 PM
Yay!

Quintin • Aug 15, 2019 - 9:28 PM
Did I mention that I have my keys that I lost
Steven • Aug 15, 2019 - 9:36 PM
I left them in my mailbox
Steven • Aug 15, 2019 - 9:36 PM
You briefly mentioned that you found them.
Quintin • Aug 15, 2019 - 9:36 PM
You were a little flustered. I made you talk.
Quintin • Aug 15, 2019 - 9:37 PM
Mm!
Steven • Aug 15, 2019 - 9:43 PM
So it's no surprise you didn't know what to do with yourself.
Quintin • Aug 15, 2019 - 9:52 PM
Oh, okay. I really need to get into the shower
Steven • Aug 15, 2019 - 9:53 PM
"OMG, you haven't???"
Quintin • Aug 15, 2019 - 9:53 PM
", giggled Quintin, eyes wide with amusement and disbelief. "Boy, GET that ass in the shower and wash it!", he taunted as a smile raced across his face like lightning through thick, summer air.
Quintin • Aug 15, 2019 - 10:09 PM
Just out of shower. I just looked at how much an Uber or Lyft are from here to there. It's like $30 bucks! No, man. I can't do that. I can't afford that, You can't afford that man. I'll come over tomorrow after work or something.
Steven • Aug 15, 2019 - 10:18 PM
I'll wait until after prime our like, so like, maybe 11:00 and then I'll just catch the bus back to you in the morning and catch those back here if I leave there at 5:02 I can be back here at 6:30 with time to get ready and leave for work at 7:30
Steven • Aug 15, 2019 - 10:19 PM
I can afford it, and it's worth it to me.
Quintin • Aug 15, 2019 - 10:19 PM
Alright. Send for it in 5 mins I guess.
Steven • Aug 15, 2019 - 10:19 PM
Maybe 10.
Steven • Aug 15, 2019 - 10:19 PM
Say when. And stop telling me what to do. 😋
Quintin • Aug 15, 2019 - 10:20 PM
When
Steven • Aug 15, 2019 - 10:32 PM
Shit! I thought I said that like 5 minutes ago

Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 5:52 AM
The advice you just gave me would have been so helpful, I think, had you felt comfortable enough saying it to me months ago. Getting it now, after all the... Well, let's just say it became very costly advice not easily won. I'm going to treat it as expensive and valuable as it deserves.
Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 5:57 AM
Thanks for coming over and going through the gauntlet of uncomfortable conversation. It needed to happen, and I'm grateful for it.
Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 5:58 AM
And if I may offer a piece of advice to match, it would be to ask that you never, ever, ever handle me the way you would handle Rory. Not just because we are two individuals with separate identities, but also because those tactics that work on him will be the undoing of me.
Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:01 AM
Have a good day at work.
Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:13 AM
Thank you. You do the same, and Cynthia my driver definitely deserves to get a good tip
Steven • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:15 AM
And I will be doing the Lyft rental. She tells me that she gets her 20 drives in her first day usually
Steven • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:15 AM
Done
Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:15 AM
She does the rental
Steven • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:15 AM
The other gal said it's 20 a day
Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:16 AM
She had to return her rental because business was too slow for so many summer drivers
Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:16 AM
It's 20 a week that need to be done on average to pay the $250. If you're short you owe on it,
but it's an average. After 20 rides you generally will make about 250 and then you start making money. And
she was saying that if she starts on Monday morning she usually has all of her 20 done by Monday afternoon,
and then the rest of the week when she drives, it's on. She's making money.
Steven • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:17 AM
Teachers off working for lyft
Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:17 AM
Hmmm
Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:17 AM
I think some of that might also have to do with areas driven
Steven • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:17 AM
I just worry with you already working two jobs.
Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:17 AM
Be careful.
Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:18 AM
It is still just a thought at this point but you never know. And if I was to turn it on and work at Monday and Tuesday mornings and then Monday and Tuesday nights, and then Wednesday and Thursday after work Friday after work, I should be able to make more than my money and not work on the weekends doing it.

Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:35 AM
This was supposed to be my first volley in the shock and awe campaign that ended with the buttons.
Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:36 AM
That would have been the crusher you were hoping the buttons were going to be. If I had opened that box and that ticket and bracelet were the contents....Yah, bloody bathtub and Fiona Apple it would've been, penny royal tea time it would have been, (more suicide references here).
Steven • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:38 AM

I am on my way home from work right away with my good old buddy Frank. My phone is at 7%, and I have battery saver on so I will call you when I get home and plug my phone in.
Steven • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:10 PM
Ok.
Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:10 PM
It sucks we may have missed the opportunity to finally bridge that uncomfortable (for me) divide. Hopefully I can get him back over here sometime. He thought you were really hot, of course.
Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:12 PM
Hey hey, please no. Let's not do that.
Steven • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:28 PM
Oh. Ok
Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:28 PM
Sorry. Doesn't matter. He left.
Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:28 PM
I wasn't... It just felt... Nevermind. Haha. It's all good.
Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:30 PM
I'm not ignoring or whatever. So I'm just going to ride home. We just got to Frank's place and I sit here for a minute and I'll read and then I'm going to go home and maybe I'll come over there and we can get him back or call me or something. I don't know. We'll figure it out. But yeah, my phone is like going to die. I'm going to use one of the chargers here cuz I left my good one back at your house and got the other one and I had a cord when I left the house, but I lost it somewhere. DAMNIT!!!!
Steven • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:40 PM
Your new phone dies in under a day??
Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:41 PM
I have extra cords
Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:41 PM
He's asking if he should come back. If you don't feel we should, it's cool. Just say so.
Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 6:59 PM

Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 7:30 PM
I can't afford that. With my 2 percent off it's $31 bucks. That would literally empty my account. I've got a lil cash I could put back in. Let me check a plan b.

It doesn't have to be tonight. I'll get a chance again.
Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 7:40 PM
Yeah, for sure, I just thought it sounded fun.
Steven • Aug 16, 2019 - 7:41 PM
Oh, I thought you first said, "No, No, let's please not do that."
Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 7:42 PM
No, I just saw a bunch of messages and kind thought you were getting into your head.. mmm and that's what I get for jumping to conclusions.

Steven • Aug 16, 2019 - 8:47 PM
Llamar = infinitive verb - to call or to address. Como te llamas? = "How do you call yourself? How do you address yourself?" "Me llamo Quintinito" = "I call myself Little Quint" Nombre = Name. "Que es tu nombre?" "Mi nombre es Quintinito."
Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 8:48 PM
Call me, please
Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 8:48 PM
Fine. Grrr! I just wanted to make sure you aren't just having second thoughts and fleeing the scene. If this is weird, I get it. Maybe it's too soon. I just feel comfortable being the one to choose and facilitate this, so I know now that I can do that. Don't go into hiding VIP style, if that's what is happening.
Quintin • Aug 16, 2019 - 8:53 PM

Early this morning or late last night I got a call from a private number. It was a gentleman asking if we were open at the Federal Way location. I told him we were at the Tacoma parent location. Haus instead of Chateau.
Steven • Aug 17, 2019 - 6:25 AM
Hehe, getting membership applicants.
Steven • Aug 17, 2019 - 6:26 AM
Oh my GOD! I'm a chain!!!
Quintin • Aug 17, 2019 - 6:26 AM
No, you a corp. I'm a franchisee.
Steven • Aug 17, 2019 - 6:32 AM
You are a counterfeiter, a brand infringer, and a corporate espionager. But you touch parts of my insides so perfectly that I can't bring myself to file a complaint.
Quintin • Aug 17, 2019 - 6:42 AM
My keys are sitting on your counter next to your fridge, huh?
Steven • Aug 17, 2019 - 6:46 AM
No. I had them in the basket. They are gone
Quintin • Aug 17, 2019 - 6:46 AM
Did you find them in your bag??
Quintin • Aug 17, 2019 - 6:49 AM
I found them
Steven • Aug 17, 2019 - 6:49 AM
Ok, whew!
Quintin • Aug 17, 2019 - 6:50 AM
You did, however leave something behind...
Quintin • Aug 17, 2019 - 8:21 AM
Quintin • Aug 17, 2019 - 8:22 AM
Yah, soap' dé heaux
Steven • Aug 17, 2019 - 2:00 PM
Yep!
Quintin • Aug 17, 2019 - 2:35 PM
I gotta get a new bank. When it takes longer for a fucking mobile check deposit to clear than
it does to have a sinful three-way with a stranger and your best friend, to get high on Molly, G, and T, and
then to get all the way un-high again so that hunger starts to creep back in, it's time to start looking for
a different account to deposit money to.
Quintin • Aug 17, 2019 - 2:52 PM
You can use the cash app, or there is PayPal or there's Chase Bank. If you decide to go to Chase Bank let me send you a link. I'll get money too if you start an account.
Steven • Aug 17, 2019 - 2:54 PM
I do need to set up a direct deposit to a new Chase account. You sent me a link already. I just keep forgetting to do it at work. But neither of those solutions is going to help get me food, cigarettes, or transportation out of the $504 deposit I already made on Thursday to Schwab. Grrr.
Quintin • Aug 17, 2019 - 2:58 PM
Did you get some sleep last night? I slept all fuckin day and night!
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 9:50 AM
Yah, I went to sleep about 6:30 or 7:00 and woke up this morning about 6:50, when Frank called asking if I was on my way to his house. As he gives me rides to work on Sat and Sun.
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 12:01 PM
Oh, shit. Were you late?
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 12:40 PM
How the hell do you get to his house before the buses run?
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 12:41 PM
Anyway just wanted to say again how much fun it was the other night. I'm glad I figured out how to let it happen, glad that it did, and looking forward to doing it again. But most of all, I'm glad that I have my best friend back in my life. Thank you, Steven. 🤗
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 1:12 PM
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 1:24 PM
Also, I have your future boners at my place.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 1:24 PM
I left some there for you
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 2:56 PM
Aw!
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 2:56 PM
Thanks
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 2:57 PM
Not sure what you have going on tonight, but I told Darryn he could come back over tonight if he was willing to do some house work and drop a load in me, since I didn't get one the other night. So, he'll be here in a bit.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 3:35 PM
I'm going to go get some groceries. Anything in particular I can keep here for you when you visit?
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 3:40 PM
And if you happen to be making a stop to re-up, I managed to get them to release some of my deposit, so I can chip in.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 3:47 PM
Gummies, if you are still shopping. Also, how much were you wanting, if I was to be me making that stop?
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:08 PM
I only got $200 freed up, and I have to keep some handy for the birthday party I'm going to Wednesday night, so I was looking to only chip in toward yours for now if you were going to be getting some, then buying a half on Thursday night or Friday.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:10 PM
Ok,
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:10 PM
But if you aren't, no biggie.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:11 PM
I'm stocked up currently, but can get you some if you're out. Just a matter of getting it to you.
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:11 PM
Don't worry about it. Didn't mean to be causing you anything extra. I'm good.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:20 PM
If you're out let me know, and I'll make sure you get some.
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:21 PM
That's what friends do
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:22 PM
I'm not out. Besides, getting it here would cost you time and money. A good friend knows when to let his friends off the hook. 😉
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:23 PM
Hmmmmm . . . . . . . .
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:23 PM
Seems phischeee
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:24 PM
Ohana means STFU, friend!
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:24 PM
Did you get any of the messages before the one about this subject?
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:24 PM
Cool, I got the one about groceries and just saw the one about Darryn. Been talking to him a bit today.
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:25 PM
Oh, REALLY?
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:26 PM
Was not in the know about err'ting.
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:26 PM
Yeah, lil bit
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:26 PM
That was my biggest fear in setting this up. Hahaha
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:26 PM
That you'd hit it off and start to go around me to get with him. Fuck.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:27 PM
Oh, well. It's not my place as friend to care. Hehehe
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:27 PM
Do what you want.😁
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:27 PM
You received a picture.
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:27 PM
He hit me up via Grindr, gave me his #.
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:27 PM
I'm sure he did. That's cool.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:28 PM
Not trying to be a shady-lady,
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:28 PM
No, I know you aren't.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:28 PM
I'm fine. I'll deal
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:28 PM
If it bothers you let me know, for real. I don't want to do anything to upset you.
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:28 PM
I trust you not to see him without me. That's all I ask.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:29 PM
Cool.
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:29 PM
I finally found someone I could tolerate seeing you with, so if that spins off into its own thing, I don't think we'll do anything like that again.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:29 PM
I realize that you are a very sexual creature, so I won't put chains on you. Just know that I do fear losing you every time.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:31 PM
No losing me, haha. I'm like a bad case of termites. Never getting rid of me.
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:32 PM
I just need to get used to the idea. Seeing is believing, so I guess in time, if you haven't thrown me away for one of the boys I bring in as offering, then I'll know we're solid. 😋
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:34 PM
If it's all the same, though, I'm going to have a word with him now that he's here and ask him not to contact you directly. If, he does, please let me know, and I will consider him burned. I hope you understand.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:39 PM
That way trust is preserved, and I won't be a crazy person.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:45 PM
Because if you were to start seeing him without me, it would be too similar to how I caught my ex cheating with the co-worker I introduced him to, and that would kill me.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:47 PM
Sorry. I know you don't want rules or structure. This kind of thing will fade away in time. I just need to feel secure for a bit.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 4:55 PM
Whatever you think is best.
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 5:01 PM
That is a bit worrisome. I hope I'm not freaking you out just when things are going so well.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 5:02 PM
Are you pissed off at me for laying down a rule already? If so, I'm sorry. But you're getting me as is, cracks and scars included, which means there's going to be a little maintenance and some TLC needed to keep me in working order.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 5:04 PM
So, here it is, my request for our sexcapades: We can do all the group stuff we want to, as
long as I get to choose the participants, you don't already have ties to them, and you don't sleep with them
unless I'm there. I know it's probably asking a lot, but for now, please understand that I am trying so hard
to bend where I can to make sure most of the heavy lifting of repairing our us is on me.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 5:07 PM
We're good. Yeah, all is well.
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 5:09 PM
Thank you for understanding.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 5:09 PM
Now, that's out of the way, want to fuck us some more? 😈
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 5:09 PM
I'll let you know when I get home
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 5:10 PM
Ok
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 5:10 PM
Do you need access to my Netflix account again?
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 5:18 PM
I created a new profile for you. Let me know if you want the new password.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 5:20 PM
I'm alright.
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 5:36 PM
Okay 👍
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 6:15 PM
I can't help but feel like I made it a little weird or tense by what I said about Darryn. It could just be your usual short responses, but I hope I didn't already bruise things. You have to be straight with me if I do, ok? (That doesn't count as a second rule, either.) 😋
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 6:18 PM

Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 6:32 PM
You're good, man. I'm not stressing it. They're not short answers because I was upset or anything - short answers because I was tired and falling asleep on the bus. Now I'm home, I just smoked stuffs and now putting away laundry, and cleaning up the apt.
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:00 PM
I kinda figured the first part, but you know how my HM works.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:01 PM
Thanks for putting him back in his box.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:01 PM
Haven't been here much in a few days, omit last night, when I passed out at 6:30-ish and slept till Frank called asking if I was ready, to which I answered, "Wha-? Huh? No? What? Yah".
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:01 PM
Sorry. I feel responsible for that.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:02 PM
Your v2t sounds like he's from the Ozarks.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:03 PM
I haven't said too much. We talked a lil about him maybe coming over sometime, but that's all. Just talk. No plans. And after having run it by you, I'm glad we did not make any plans.
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:03 PM
To be clear, he didn't "run it by me". He admitted to there having been a call not knowing I had forbade it. That is not the same thing as being considerate enough to ask me how I felt about it. Not the same by a long shot.
After I'm done cleaning and such I may come over.
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:04 PM
Yeah, I already caught him in a lie, so after tonight, I don't plan on him being in the picture anymore.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:04 PM
Oh? What lie?
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:04 PM
I wasn't trying to make anyone upset. ANYONE!
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:05 PM
Haha
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:05 PM
Not trying to be a snitch either, just transparent
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:05 PM
He told me he figured it would be overstepping, so that's why he didn't even ask you
for your number last night to stay in touch. So then I told him I had seen a screenshot of him
offering his number to you, and he scrambled to come up with an excuse, saying it was because he's
new in town and wants to build up contacts platonically.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:06 PM
Technically, he is not lying. He didn't ask me for my number. He gave me his. Haha. How about this Quintin? Call me.
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:07 PM
I know you weren't. I should have told you before you left how nervous I was about the whole behind my back thing. I guess I kinda figured you would have known that, based on my past, being cheated on, etc. But we're good.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:08 PM
You're giving me permission to CALL YOU???
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:08 PM
Technicalities are the 😈!!!
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:09 PM
Ok. He's down. But we first have to wait for his clothes to dry. I forgot to put them in the dryer half an hour ago.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:32 PM
Though, now part of me knows he's not to be trusted when it comes to you, so I wonder if I'm dooming myself by showing him where you live
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:42 PM
No. I trust you, and that's all that matters.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:43 PM
Right?
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:46 PM
For Christmas, I think I'll ask Santa for either a new sense of self-worth, or screenshots of the entire conversation between the two of you. 🤓
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:49 PM
Indeed.
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:54 PM
Hmm. Indeed.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:55 PM
Maybe for a Labor Day present I'll just ask Papa Legba for some voodoo juju to make it so that I have nothing to be concerned about.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:57 PM
👹
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 7:57 PM
So I'm hopping in the shower. The front door is unlocked if you guys show up while I'm in there.
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 8:31 PM
Ok
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 8:41 PM
Out of the shower
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 8:50 PM
About to call the Lyft.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 8:50 PM
So, I have no lube at all.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 8:56 PM
I've got sum
Steven • Aug 18, 2019 - 8:57 PM
See where my Lyft ride is: https://www.lyft.com/sr/1305168851928576200?token=2D0sfy6V6ZPCbsyxOsPkMQ%3D%3D
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 9:02 PM
If I may make a suggestion, to avoid any future weirdness like what happened at the dungeon, can we have a safe word to reassure me that we are good? And for me to assure you that I'm good? Like, platypus? Maybe?
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 9:15 PM
I just feel like I may need that little bit of extra reassurance now and then to keep my hate monster at bay.
Quintin • Aug 18, 2019 - 9:17 PM
Or you can choose the word

You said you were a fan of Broadway, right? I want you to listen to this song from the musical, Waitress, by Sarah Bareillas. Really listen to it. It's the closest a musical could possibly get to being my inner voice. 🙊🧠🗯️🗣️

That's a big negatory on the showtune, huh? Hahaha
Quintin • Aug 20, 2019 - 4:29 PM
Did you happen to pick up any glassware today?
Quintin • Aug 20, 2019 - 4:29 PM
In Seattle currently
Steven • Aug 20, 2019 - 4:30 PM
I'm aware. I'm familiar with the 25-mile location.
Quintin • Aug 20, 2019 - 4:31 PM
Did you mean to just say "Canary" or "Belly"?

We haven't graduated yet to "Platypus". LOL

Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 8:15 AM
Yes
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 8:24 AM
Locked out of the lime car. And it ended the ride and billed me $300+

Eek
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 8:24 AM
You received a picture.
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 8:26 AM
WHAT?
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 8:26 AM
I will cover it
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 8:27 AM
It's my fault
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 8:27 AM
How's it your fault?
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 8:33 AM
No I'll get them to drop the charges.
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 8:33 AM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 8:34 AM
Still, if they don't, I'll pay. You drove it down to bring my stuff and kept it driving my whiney ass around.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 8:35 AM
I got everything above 55 refunded I partially on my lime account like $37 on my line
account and then the rest of it onto my PayPal due to a technicality. Goddamn technicalities. I love
them. You said you hate them, hater. Hahahahahah. Jokes. Nah, because it went low fuel it ended the
ride and kicked me out when I went to go restart my ride and said because of that technicality and
me being outside of the service area I am not being billed for being out of service area while that
ride is ended for the retrieval or for the fact that I couldn't take it back to the home area.
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 8:49 AM
Oh, thank goodness.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 8:59 AM
I was nervously seeing where I was going to pull an extra $300 from out of tomorrow night's check.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 8:59 AM
I told you not to worry about that. I would have it.
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:00 AM
Oh, The delivery from Portland is actually going to happen tonight. He forgot to "lay out those 10 hits" before leaving his place to go to his ride's house, so he will stop at my place in Tacoma tonight and "lay them out there, somewhere away from the cats".
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:01 AM
Steven, since when have I ever listened to what you tell me? Hush up or you can kiss my grits.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:02 AM
It's a moot point anyway. They refunded the money. (But I totally would have paid it.)

Glad to hear it.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:17 AM
I'm not surprised. You're the same way around me, and it always makes me so angry.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:18 AM
Making all your other dates and arrangements. Maddening.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:19 AM
But that's how it is, so getting mad does no one any good.🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑 Everywhere!
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:20 AM
I'm just gonna have to step up my game to do a better job of holding your attention, that's all.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:21 AM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:23 AM

Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:23 AM

Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:23 AM
Haha. Most of the time that's not what was going on.
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:23 AM
Donuts
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:23 AM
Yeah, but the person there in the room with you doesn't know that. You're tight-lipped
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:24 AM
🤔
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:25 AM
"Most of the time". Ha! See? Still some of the time.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:25 AM
Ok, tight lipped about what you want to be secretive about, and yes, otherwise a jibber jabber.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:26 AM
I would say no, but I don't want to lie. I can't remember if I did.
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:26 AM
Betta quit ddat jibbar
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:27 AM
Haha
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:27 AM
Jabber
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:27 AM
I'll take it.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:27 AM
Also, maybe not my Adam. At least not without me.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:29 AM
That cool?
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:32 AM
Yah.
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:33 AM
I called out from work today
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:33 AM
Both jobs?
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:36 AM
I'm considering leaving "sick" at lunch, myself.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:37 AM
No only had Shari's today
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:37 AM
Oh, cool.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:37 AM
Going to sleep?
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:37 AM
Probably at some point
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:38 AM
Ok. Well, he said he'd be at my place around 7:00 or 8:00 this evening.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:39 AM
Cool
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:40 AM
I'm gonna probably go home and see about getting some.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:40 AM
I can try to be over there then
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:40 AM
Ok
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:40 AM
I'm gonna be in some hot water with my friend, Lindsay, because I was supposed to be going to her birthday party in White Center tonight. But I can't afford to go.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:41 AM
Gonna have to tell my reiki master that I'll PayPal him the $80 late tonight or tomorrow morning once they release the rest of my check
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 9:42 AM
These motherfuckers sent me to meet with a city attorney who just spent 15 minutes reading me for FILTH over this being her fourth meeting to go over the same thing, and still not having any indication where her project was being worked or by whom.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 10:20 AM
A pissed off lawyer screaming at me was not how I wanted to spend my morning.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 10:21 AM
Yah I did see, sorry. Kinda out of it
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 11:19 AM
Np
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 11:23 AM
I'm going home
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 11:24 AM
I can't stop shaking
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 11:27 AM
I'll give you 3 guesses. Guess who put nearly a full quarter ounce of T through the washer and the dryer after getting home this morning.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 11:37 AM
Sorry, no. 8 ball.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 11:39 AM
That at least takes some of the shame away.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 11:39 AM
My problems, not yours. Sorry. You rest. I'll talk to you, sometime.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 11:44 AM
Holy cow
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 12:36 PM
Glad you caught it.
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 12:37 PM
No! I didn't.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 12:41 PM
It was washed and dried in my pants pocket while I was at work.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 12:41 PM
Eek!
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 12:52 PM
I lost a little over a gram. The rest was luckily still in three big rocks
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 12:53 PM
That's good. Sorry that you lost the gram.
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 12:54 PM
Not your fault, man.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 12:56 PM
Was it???
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 12:56 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 1:11 PM
I'm way too shaken by this morning's incident to even consider going back in to the office today.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 1:11 PM
I'm just SHOOK!
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 1:12 PM
That's it. Your punny dad jokes are on my No Laugh List.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 2:43 PM
Guess who just showed up at my door soaking wet and begging to wait out the rain. Lost his phone so he couldn't call to ask ahead
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 4:51 PM
Yes, if you guessed Darryn. No, if you guessed Tokyo Vanity.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 5:06 PM
Were you still planning on coming over here tonight?
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 7:10 PM
Hot pic
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 7:26 PM
Why, thank you.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 7:28 PM
I never did get a chance to try on that harness last night.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 7:28 PM
Found at least one other jockstrap for you.
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 7:33 PM
Nice
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 7:36 PM
I feel like I ought to be taking a percentage off the top of each client booking
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 7:36 PM
I'm ready whenever you want to send a car
Steven • Aug 21, 2019 - 7:50 PM
Ok
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 7:51 PM
2 min
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 7:52 PM
See where my Lyft ride is: https://www.lyft.com/sr/1306264465951368704?token=cIvHWoUDf68TDg3TtL6PXQ%3D%3D
Quintin • Aug 21, 2019 - 7:54 PM
As your car pulled out, his pulled in.
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 12:38 AM
Haha
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 12:38 AM
Funny
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 12:38 AM
How was Ian?
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 12:42 AM
Good
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 12:42 AM
Ok. Good night. Ttyt
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 12:42 AM
He was very personable
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 12:43 AM
You received a picture.
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 1:45 AM
Is this your homie
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 1:45 AM
Funny thing about Plex, a 4 digit PIN is needed to enter your account, I do not have this pin
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 3:12 AM
Nope. No idea who that is.
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 7:35 AM
####
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 7:35 AM
Thanks again for coming over last night and for enduring the level of conversation for so long. It feels like we are in a good place.
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 8:29 AM
Sorry for getting so sloppy there at the end.
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 8:29 AM
No worries
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 8:43 AM
And thank you
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 8:43 AM
BTW, I think I may have gotten the wheels turning in my friend Adam's head with regard to a possible future three-way with us. On the scoreboard for Successful Group Sex Set Ups, it's looking like Steven - 0, Quintin 2. 😆😂🤣😅
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 10:06 AM
And I wonder why that is, willingness of all participant's maybe?? Hmmmmm?
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 10:07 AM
Haha jokes
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 10:07 AM
Doesn't matter why! LOL The scoreboard is what it is, sir!
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 10:08 AM
Ok. I feel ya... Just wait till the next time, you're going to see a craziness of the likes you've never seen. Haha
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 10:52 AM
Jokes
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 10:52 AM
I'm not really stressed about it
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 10:52 AM
I've got a mirror, Steven. I've seen crazy.
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 10:53 AM
HA!
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 10:53 AM
I'm so running late
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 10:53 AM
I was wondering why you were only 8 miles away at 10:00. Oversleep?
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 10:54 AM
Oh, Darryn texted me this morning to ask if he could use my apartment while I was at work to host a buddy. Um, NO!?
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 10:55 AM
At ten I was on the bus
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 10:55 AM
Wow, he's got guts, or absolutely no concept of when people are unhappy with him.
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 10:56 AM
The latter. Has to be. He's like you in his opinion that not talking about the problem means that it doesn't exist. Hahahaha
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 10:57 AM
Can't fault him that.
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 10:58 AM
Haha! Yes I can.
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 10:58 AM
Cuz I'm a hypocrite.
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 10:58 AM
LOL. But an adorkable one
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 10:59 AM
🧛♂️
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 10:59 AM
But if you don't mind, and if it's not too nosy, will you let me know if he tries to contact you again?
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 11:13 AM
Indeed-E-doody
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 11:13 AM
I want to manage the situation as amicably as possible.
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 11:13 AM
Thanks, boo.
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 11:14 AM
Have a good shift today, and a great shift tonight! The acid will be ready after midnight, so let me know when you want to do it.
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 11:14 AM
I meant to ask you... How is your crotch today? Any change in the soreness or size in either side?
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 2:42 PM
Cool I have Sat and Sun off, so one of those days.
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 2:43 PM
Ok, great!
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 2:43 PM
Let me check with Donald to see if this Saturday is when he wanted to start having weekly boys' nights at my place or if it doesn't start until I'm back from New Orleans.
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 2:44 PM
Ok
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 3:25 PM
Nope. Much like my legs, this weekend is wide open.
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 3:26 PM
Haha
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 3:29 PM
You received a picture.
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 3:34 PM
For when you get copies made
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 3:34 PM
Sweet! Looks like there's one in Fred Meyer near you on 21st Ave.
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 3:39 PM
And at all Walmart
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 3:39 PM
Yeah, but you know my feelings about Wal-Mart.
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 3:40 PM
At Fred Meyer by me, too.
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 3:40 PM
I'm guessing you had a critique about that photo I sent, and since you're a gentleman, you chose to say nothing instead. Should I not use that as a profile picture? Hahahaha
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 4:46 PM
It's a good photo
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 4:55 PM
OH! Well, thanks!
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 4:56 PM
You received a picture.
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 8:11 PM
Where is that?
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 8:39 PM
Darryn finally got back access to his Grindr and saw my message about him going behind my back after I had explicitly asked him not to. He's insisting that it's a fabrication. Hahaha I'm not even bothering.
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 8:47 PM
I call on the power of Mary J. Blige, henny!
Quintin • Aug 22, 2019 - 8:47 PM
You're weird. It's awesome.
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 10:21 PM
What are you up to?
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 10:21 PM
I broke that weed pipe I got yesterday
Steven • Aug 22, 2019 - 10:58 PM
I fell asleep Steven style after work.
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 1:41 AM
Nice
Steven • Aug 23, 2019 - 1:42 AM
Just woke up freezing
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 1:42 AM
Stop breaking things
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 1:43 AM
Need anything? If not, snoring in 3, 2, 1,
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 1:47 AM
Come spoon!
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 7:19 AM
Fork you
Steven • Aug 23, 2019 - 7:19 AM
Haha, spooning leads to forking
Steven • Aug 23, 2019 - 7:19 AM
Ok, that'll work
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 7:19 AM
Ah, I forgot. No forking without other utensils. (sigh)
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 7:23 AM
Yah I use a knife to
Steven • Aug 23, 2019 - 8:01 AM
Mmmmm
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 8:07 AM
I'm calling in sick
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 8:07 AM
Oh yah?
Steven • Aug 23, 2019 - 8:09 AM
Yep.
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 8:09 AM
🤘
Steven • Aug 23, 2019 - 8:10 AM
What are you doing?
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 8:10 AM
Riding on the bus
Steven • Aug 23, 2019 - 8:12 AM
That sounds less fun than spooning and forking.

Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 8:16 AM
You working both places today?
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 8:21 AM
No, just Shari's

Plans after?
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 8:22 AM

Steven • Aug 23, 2019 - 8:23 AM
Supposed to go to someone's house tonight, but I don't know if I will go. I'm not 100 yet and yah

Gotcha
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 8:24 AM

Steven • Aug 23, 2019 - 9:09 AM
Of so, so many things.
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 9:09 AM
I need more G, a quarter T, and a couple of D's.
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 9:11 AM
And a partridge in a pear tree

Hey buddy. So there's somebody that I know you think is hot, that I think is hot, and he kinda wants to kick it.
Steven • Aug 23, 2019 - 2:35 PM
Who?
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 2:35 PM
And when you say "wants to kick it", does that mean with you?
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 2:36 PM
Or me?
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 2:36 PM
It... I had made plans with him for tonight, but he has the weekend off of all responsibility and is down to trip. I'll donate 1 or 2 of my hits.
Steven • Aug 23, 2019 - 2:36 PM
I don't know who "he" is.
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 2:37 PM
When you start off with a "Hey, buddy!", I know you are about to ask me to do something you think I won't like.

Can you call me?
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 2:38 PM
I can't talk about a juggling session via text.
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 2:39 PM
Err, won't.
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 2:40 PM
And this silence indicates I am indeed experiencing being juggled.
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 2:42 PM
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 2:43 PM
You sent a GIF.
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 2:44 PM
Okay, so it is "Polynstuff". He's got a weekend free, and he said he wants to do T, G, and whatever else he can.
Steven • Aug 23, 2019 - 2:44 PM
You sent a GIF.
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 2:45 PM
I can't give you an answer without speaking to you on the phone and hearing your tone.
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 2:47 PM
Sorry.
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 2:47 PM
I will call you when I get off work. I'm the only one on the floor right now.
Steven • Aug 23, 2019 - 2:48 PM
Every fiber of my being is warning me that I'm about to agree to be emotionally annihilated again, since you're super into him and have had your own relationship with him. That usually spells disaster for my security, and if I lose my shit while tripping, I don't even know what to expect.
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 2:50 PM
If you want to go and be with this dude instead of me, even though you have a hurt dick that you just told me you should not use a few hours ago, don't try to two birds one stone me. Just pick one. I don't care. I just don't want to feel like I'm only being asked to be a part of this because I currently have possession of the acid and because you don't want to feel guilty for wanting to spend your night tripping with this other friend rather than fending off advances from me.
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 2:54 PM
And how do you know I think he's hot? I don't even know who "he" is.
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 3:02 PM
When are you off work??
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 4:10 PM
I'm here sitting around making sure I'm available to take your call, and then realized I have no idea what your hours are.
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 4:14 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 5:11 PM
This could prove problematic...
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 5:11 PM
We can do it at my place
Steven • Aug 23, 2019 - 5:17 PM
No!
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 5:24 PM
I'll hang a divider
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 5:24 PM
I've put a sheet up before to cut out the glare on the TV
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 5:25 PM
But now that I *CAN* host, God damnit, I WILL! Hahahaha
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 5:25 PM
I'm going to get into the shower. You can feel free to take one here if you like. Bring your soap.
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 5:31 PM
Status?
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 6:08 PM
Minus the joke you just cracked in your head.
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 6:09 PM
Haha not until you referenced it
Steven • Aug 23, 2019 - 6:10 PM
Almost home
Steven • Aug 23, 2019 - 6:10 PM
Ok. If you would, bring some popsicles from the freezer?
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 6:11 PM
And are you going to shower here or there?
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 6:11 PM
sigh
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 6:13 PM
I should start charging by the minute for every question you leave hanging in the air unanswered. Not money. Dick.
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 6:14 PM
In case you get here before I'm out of the shower, the door is unlocked. Make yourself at home.
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 7:02 PM
Scratch that... Make yourself a guest at your dear, beloved friend's home.
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 7:02 PM
Yes, I will bring popsicles. For some reason I told him the wrong address when I should just load center location so fucking weird they should be here soon. Sorry about this.
Steven • Aug 23, 2019 - 7:05 PM
They??
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 7:11 PM
He. Only he, not bae
Steven • Aug 23, 2019 - 7:11 PM
They!
Steven • Aug 23, 2019 - 7:11 PM
I just used the last of my soap. Meant to buy more today, but got caught up in figuring this out.
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 7:12 PM
Bring your travel soap if you want to get clean!
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 7:12 PM
And any other soap you'd like to donate!
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 7:12 PM
And for God's sake, let me know when you leave!
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 7:21 PM
We have left. We have left my place with a swing by and grab that and then we will be there.
Steven • Aug 23, 2019 - 7:31 PM
It's near your place
Steven • Aug 23, 2019 - 7:32 PM
Ok
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 7:32 PM
Take note.
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 7:32 PM
You got soap?
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 7:38 PM
You received a GIF.
Steven • Aug 23, 2019 - 7:43 PM
That's probably me later tonight.
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 7:44 PM
We are here. We are going to be walking up the alley in a moment.
Steven • Aug 23, 2019 - 8:04 PM
Door's unlocked
Quintin • Aug 23, 2019 - 8:04 PM
We are about to witness evolution in progress. The fittest are about to be

Did I do something wrong?
Quintin • Aug 24, 2019 - 12:32 PM
Quintin • Aug 24, 2019 - 7:20 PM
My acid doing wig! That's what was missing! I'm ready now. Let's do that over.
Quintin • Aug 24, 2019 - 7:20 PM
Creepy
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 7:44 AM
This song speaks my ❤️!
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 7:45 AM
I didn't get the msg from you with the pictures

Something tells me I'm still blocked on some level.
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 8:40 AM
You may have to add it to a text message as an attachment instead of a link
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 8:41 AM
Guess what I left at your house.
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 8:43 AM
Pipe.
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 8:43 AM
It was in your bong, right?
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 8:45 AM
For real? Shitty.
Steven • Aug 25, 2019 - 9:09 AM
That store sells em
Steven • Aug 25, 2019 - 9:09 AM
Yeah
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 9:10 AM
I'll pick up a couple today
Steven • Aug 25, 2019 - 9:11 AM
👍👍
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 9:11 AM
Fuuuuuuuuck
Steven • Aug 25, 2019 - 7:10 PM
What's up?
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 7:10 PM
Also, I got the novelty thing you were wanting. It's got a crack by the mouth piece. But it can be healed and I got it at a discount so yay
Steven • Aug 25, 2019 - 7:11 PM
Sweet!
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 7:11 PM
What's the fuuuuuuuck about?
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 7:11 PM
Today sucks
Steven • Aug 25, 2019 - 7:13 PM
Ah. Yeah, you had a long ass day.
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 7:14 PM
But you are almost done with it!
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 7:14 PM
Still going
Steven • Aug 25, 2019 - 7:14 PM
You can do it!
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 7:15 PM
🤨
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 7:16 PM
This can be ungiven very easily if you're going to abuse it
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 7:17 PM
I need to go to the smoke shop and get a pipe, but I'm so nervous for some reason!
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 7:24 PM
How do you get home when you work shifts like this?
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 8:13 PM
There are a few ways usually 1) take the bus to get transit center, walk the rest of the way: 1.2) take bus to Federal way transit center and Uber home B) find someone to take me home, via the app usually. Last) stay in Seattle overnight III) lime car
Steven • Aug 25, 2019 - 8:33 PM
Tonight I think a mix of c and b
Steven • Aug 25, 2019 - 8:33 PM
Ah
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 8:34 PM
III and B
Steven • Aug 25, 2019 - 8:34 PM
Or, there's option iv. Quintin in a ZipCar.
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 8:37 PM
So that way I can get my pipe. 😆
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 8:37 PM
If you give me enough of a headstart, I can pick you up at work.
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 8:50 PM
So, tell me what time you think you'll be ready?
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 8:50 PM
I could maybe even do the table swap. It's an SUV.
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 8:57 PM
Nah. That'd be too heavy for me to get upstairs alone.
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 8:59 PM
But, yeah. Option iv.
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 9:00 PM
I need an hour to get there.
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 9:06 PM
And before you say no, it's too late. I already rented it.
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 9:18 PM
Leaving my house now
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 9:26 PM
You there?
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 9:52 PM
Almost to the car.
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 9:57 PM
Shit, I still need go downtown,
Steven • Aug 25, 2019 - 10:04 PM
I have a Lime here
Steven • Aug 25, 2019 - 10:04 PM
I'll call back in a min
Steven • Aug 25, 2019 - 10:05 PM
That's totally fine. You can drive this car down to where you need to go.
Quintin • Aug 25, 2019 - 10:06 PM
Ok.
Steven • Aug 25, 2019 - 10:06 PM
100th and Aurora turn right
Steven • Aug 25, 2019 - 10:44 PM
Then left into the parking lot
Steven • Aug 25, 2019 - 10:44 PM
Home.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 1:56 AM
Not that you asked, but I thought I'd tell you anyway.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 1:57 AM
I'm glad you made it safely. Thank you for the ride home tonight. I appreciate it very much.
Steven • Aug 26, 2019 - 2:01 AM
You're welcome! I'm sorry I didn't give you a chance to tell me you had a date. That was inconsiderate of me.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 2:02 AM
But do know that I support your need for a plethora of fuckholes, as long as my place near your ❤️ is reserved for moi.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 2:04 AM
But if a fuckhole ever starts making his way up the the same level or above, please believe that a bitch will be cut. 😇
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 2:06 AM
Ok. Guess that's the end of that. Goodnight.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 2:08 AM
God damn it! I left my sunglasses over there again!
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 2:37 AM
When you're done with your encounter, hit me up.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 2:44 AM
Still not done? Dang. He's getting the special!
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 8:14 AM
It's so difficult to talk to you!
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 12:34 PM
Or rather to get you to talk back. Hahaha
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 12:38 PM
I seem to spend most of my time talking at you. 😕
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 12:38 PM
So, I have to imagine what you might be thinking in response to what I say, and the version of you that lives in my head stays right nextdoor to the Hate Monster, which is evident in how that he often answers when you don't. He's mean to me. When I have to rely on him for too long, it's easy to forget that real you is actually much more kind and friendly, when he makes the time to be, which seems more and more infrequent these days.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 12:52 PM
I guess you could classify my Hate Monster as a "Monster Next Door" type, if you were cruising for monsters.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 12:53 PM
Any word from PayPal?
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 1:31 PM
It's not saying pending anymore. But neither my PayPal nor my bank is reflecting
Steven • Aug 26, 2019 - 1:37 PM
I'm giving it till 3 then calling my bank, first, then it if they have no answers I will be calling PayPal
Steven • Aug 26, 2019 - 1:39 PM
THEN, if they can't help I'll call Lime. I really hope my bank has answers
Steven • Aug 26, 2019 - 1:41 PM
Ok. Just keep me posted, I guess, if anything drastic happens. Don't worry about it if it's just more of the same.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 2:43 PM
Werd up
Steven • Aug 26, 2019 - 2:43 PM
And like I said in response to your story over on Instagram, please forgive my nagging throughout the ordeal you had going on after I left. I had no idea. I thought you were supposed to just be having your year-and-a-half-long friend over to kick it, but it sounds like that didn't happen after all.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 2:45 PM
You received a picture.
Steven • Aug 26, 2019 - 2:46 PM
So it got released to PayPal, then they transferred it. So how ever long that will take
Steven • Aug 26, 2019 - 2:47 PM
Oy vay
Steven • Aug 26, 2019 - 2:47 PM
Hahahaha. No sweat.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 2:47 PM
At least we know it's coming.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 2:47 PM
So, you never did say... What's your rate for rental time? 😈
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 2:50 PM
Depends on your membership plan.
Steven • Aug 26, 2019 - 2:51 PM
Haha
Steven • Aug 26, 2019 - 2:51 PM
VIP, duh
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 3:09 PM
Unless there's an even higher, more exclusive level, then I'm that.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 3:11 PM
And you are 100% certain you can't go to New Orleans on the 6th through the 9th. Yes?
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 3:52 PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 4:52 PM
You can helps?! I did a bad.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 4:52 PM
Possibly
Steven • Aug 26, 2019 - 5:43 PM
Yay!
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 5:44 PM
Sorry!
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 5:44 PM
I'm not trippin. Maybe I weakened it when trying to fix the crack
Steven • Aug 26, 2019 - 5:45 PM
I had it almost perfect!
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 5:45 PM
And then, when I set it down on the stove to cool, it just started splintering
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 5:46 PM
Wait... maybe I ought to let YOU tell me what my membership level is! I seem to be guessing all wrong.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 6:14 PM
??
Steven • Aug 26, 2019 - 8:32 PM
You said rates depended on membership status. I thought mine was VIP+, but you didn't confirm, so I'm asking you what my membership status is!
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 8:33 PM
You're of course VIP
Steven • Aug 26, 2019 - 8:34 PM
Yay! Wait. I said VIP+
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 8:34 PM
Haha
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 8:34 PM
So? What's the hourly rate for VIP?
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 8:35PM
In case I ever need an appointment without a third to offer.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 8:35 PM
I take it this is one of those questions you prefer not to answer or acknowledge.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 8:43 PM
That's typically the case if I have to ask it four or five times. Hahahaha Pinche guey.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 8:44 PM
It's boring as fuck on the nights I can't hang out with you.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 8:59 PM
Want me to Zip up and pick you up? 😛
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 9:56 PM
Too late. Already on my way!
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 9:58 PM
JK
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 9:58 PM
Or AM I?
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 9:58 PM
If you aren't joking you'll be sad because I'm in a Lime car heading home.
Steven • Aug 26, 2019 - 10:12 PM
Fuck
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 10:12 PM
Turning around
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 10:13 PM
Thanks
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 10:13 PM
Not sure if that was a dick move or an asshole move.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 10:21 PM
I was unlocking the car when you texted asking. And by the time I sent a msg you had said too late, and JK
Steven • Aug 26, 2019 - 10:57 PM
Or were you?
Steven • Aug 26, 2019 - 10:57 PM
Yeah. Something like that.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 10:57 PM
Not a big deal. Forget about it.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 10:58 PM
I just got back that money. Sent you $260.
Steven • Aug 26, 2019 - 11:00 PM
Thanks.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 11:01 PM
Is it going to leave you in a bind?
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 11:25 PM
If so, I'm sending some back.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 11:27 PM
I'll take silence as a "No". Let me know if/when you need something. Good luck with your clients tomorrow.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 11:30 PM
Sorry was eating and such. No I should be ok. I get paid tomorrow and get my tips from today tomorrow then get paid Thursday
Steven • Aug 26, 2019 - 11:45 PM
I should be alright
Steven • Aug 26, 2019 - 11:46 PM
Ok.
Quintin • Aug 26, 2019 - 11:46 PM
You sent a video.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 1:33 AM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 1:34 AM
Ok. I gotta admit, I'm not totally as ugly and unfuckable as my HM likes to tell me I am. Thanks for insisting that I see it.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 1:34 AM
Even though sometimes your lack of affirmation leads me back down the path of the Hate Monster, it's the times when you DO intentionally point it out that matter.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 1:51 AM
Erase! Undo! I see through it now. I'm not good enough to even get on the paid
list. What the fuck was I thinking?! Fuck!!! Thanks for at least sending back the loan
before running back up there knowing how badly I wanted you. That was kind. I didn't expect
this. Like, at all.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 2:13 AM
I may be the most gullible, trusting piece of pathetic shit I know.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 2:13 AM
Ok, seriously. Calm down.
Steven • Aug 27, 2019 - 3:18 AM
My coming to the bathhouse and seeing some people I haven't seen in a while isn't an attack against you.
Steven • Aug 27, 2019 - 3:19 AM
It hurt that just an hour earlier, you had brushed me off when I offered to
come and pick you up again, after having told you how boring my nights are when you aren't a
part of them, then to see you'd gone home, picked up Rory, and gone on a fuck hunt. I had
spent the entire day alluding to how much I wanted to have sex with you, but that clearly
made you uncomfortable. So I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Sit at home quietly waiting
for you to get an urge to initiate contact? That feels like what you want from me. Is it?
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 9:16 AM
Stay out of your business until you decide to grant me an audience? That sucks! I'll do it, of course, because that's how important you are to me, but can you understand how pathetic that feels?
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 9:19 AM
You even get to decide when we can talk things like this out. I could insist, but that would accomplish, what? More time for me to sit in time out.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 9:23 AM
Ok, Steven. I give up. You win.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 9:29 AM
Okay, so for starters, not a contest to be won or lost. Second, I didn't brush
you off. I was already in a car that I had rented myself and you had never said you were
going to come up before that. And more than that, I'm sorry that I hurt your feelings, but
this is what I was talking about before when we were arguing. Like, that's what I was
referring to referencing. I'm not trying to be hurtful or anything right now, but that's the
kind of stuff I'm talking about. Can I help you? That goes underneath
Steven • Aug 27, 2019 - 9:44 AM
I'm not accusing you of doing it intentionally. I understand that you don't
think of me when you make decisions. I'm not to you what you are to me, and it's always
going to be that way I think. I don't know what I'm supposed to do here. Because if we do
things to your liking, I'm going to be feeling all kinds of second shelf and on standby for
your attention. If we veer too far in the direction I would like, you're going to shut it
down again and call it all off. So I am struggling to find a middle ground where you don't
feel like you're drowning in Quintin, and where I feel like I don't have to beg for intimacy
or offer up candidates to act as a buffer between us just to get some. It's an impossible
equation, and I'm terrible at math anyway.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 9:52 AM
I said it as soon as we started talking again - I can't pretend to want less of
you. And you can't let me get too close without feeling like a label is about to tie itself
around us and ruin everything. So what are we going to do with the fact that in spite of
wanting very different things, we both still want this friendship?
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 9:55 AM
I'm about to go into a meeting, so take your time and give it the thought it deserves. You don't want me feeling hurt by you when you don't factor me into your activities. Ok. I don't want you to not think about me when you're planning them. Ok. What now?
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 9:57 AM
Ok. That's fair, I will take some time to think it over. You do the same. We will have a Congress of the mind tomorrow after we are both home from work. Does that sound doable?
Steven • Aug 27, 2019 - 10:45 AM
It does.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 10:50 AM
But not via text, Grindr, Scruff, or Instagram.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 10:50 AM
But before we cut to silence, what the heck did this mean? "Can I help you that goes underneath."
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 10:53 AM
I can't be on the same page if the book is in a different language.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 10:55 AM
Voice chat picked up someone else I think
Steven • Aug 27, 2019 - 11:09 AM
Ah. Now I'm wondering which parts were you and what came in from someone else.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 11:14 AM
The underneath part
Steven • Aug 27, 2019 - 11:14 AM
"Can I help you? That goes underneath," That wasn't me.
Steven • Aug 27, 2019 - 11:15 AM
Ok. Thanks for hearing me out. I at least feel heard now, and not dismissed. I guess we'll see what can be done. Enjoy your two days free from my incessant chatter.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 11:17 AM
Steven • Aug 27, 2019 - 1:49 PM
You received a picture.
Steven • Aug 27, 2019 - 1:49 PM
On Broadway
Steven • Aug 27, 2019 - 1:49 PM
What do you mean we're not talking? Did you actually put me into time out until after you are off work tomorrow?
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 1:51 PM
I can be angry or hurt and still be able to talk. But if you want me to leave you alone, I'll do it.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 1:52 PM
I didn't realize we were on the brink of another farewell. Is that the direction you see this going, given the dilemma I pointed out this morning? Are you considering just ending it again?
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 1:55 PM
I'm kind of having trouble breathing right now, I'm so worried about the state of us. I'm going to fuckin cry at my desk.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 1:57 PM
Please look at this message and reply. Cut me loose. I'm dying here!
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 2:16 PM
Asshole. I had a full on panic attack at my desk complete with flashbacks of the last time you threw me away.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 2:22 PM
It's getting really hard to believe that every single time I write to you on the apps while you are signed in and active, you happen to sign off without seeing my messages. Why do you intentionally ignore me like that? 🥺
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 5:38 PM
If you ever really gave a shit about me, ever cared how I felt or how your actions impacted me, I beg you...BEG! Please call me. If only to tell me to fuck off. At least give me that small amount of respect.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:11 PM
On a scale of 1 to Royally, how fucked am I with Steven? Is he about to shut shit down again?
Quintin • Tue Aug 27, 2019 - 6:13PM
Umm I don't think so. He over reacts to everything but gets over it quick.
Rory • Tue Aug 27, 2019 - 6:17PM
He is UNDER reacting to everything today. I'm getting zero from him, and he knows it infuriates me. Grrr. Sorry to bug you. It's not your problem.
Quintin • Tue Aug 27, 2019 - 6:18PM
Hey no don't be sorry. I get it.
Rory • Tue Aug 27, 2019 - 6:18PM
Bug me any time
Rory • Tue Aug 27, 2019 - 6:19PM
I know how you are feeling. It sucks. I am sorry he can be so douchy so easily.
Rory • Tue Aug 27, 2019 - 6:20PM
Thank you. I appreciate that. I always feel like I'm being irrational after a while, but in reality, it's just shitty of him to be so stubborn an uncommunicative.
Quintin • Tue Aug 27, 2019 - 6:21PM
It is totally
Rory • Tue Aug 27, 2019 - 6:21PM
Well, I suppose that says it all. Thank you for giving me the time and
attention you'd show a steaming dog turd on the sidewalk. That's pretty much how you have
made me feel today. Bye. Good luck, Steven. Hopefully one day you will realize what you let
slip through your fingers over nothing. Or not. Yeah. Probably not.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:25 PM
Can we please talk about this tomorrow? I haven't had any sleep. I haven't had
a whole lot of time to think about the situation. I promise you I don't hate you or anything
like that. we're going to be good. Just let me talk to you tomorrow about this, ok? I'm
like, I don't I don't want to say things I don't mean or anything like that. So...
Steven • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:27 PM
You could have just fuckin' asked me that instead of ignoring me for hours on end. Why should I be the one to put up with that disrespectful treatment?
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:28 PM
You take whatever time you need, Steven. I'm tired, too. Of being dismissed.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:29 PM
Ignoring implies I looked and chose not to do anything. I've been on the go since this morning.
Steven • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:29 PM
And until your comments about thinking things over I was unaware that I was hurting your feelings doing things without you.
Steven • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:30 PM
You cannot expect me to believe you remained unaware of the stack of messages I have been sending to you all day. I don't believe it for a second.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:30 PM
At the very least, you chose not to read them so you'd have a technicality.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:31 PM
Which amounts to the same thing.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:31 PM
I've seen how closely you stay aware of the messages coming in on your phone from other guys when you're with me, so "on the go" is a lame excuse when it means sitting alone on a bus for an hour.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:32 PM
You were avoiding.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:33 PM
And that's rude and hurtful to do it to a friend.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:33 PM
So, sure. Take more time to mull over how you want to proceed with our
relationship. I'll sit through another whole day of uncertainty about my place in your life
and worry about whether you are willing to work it out and be potentially uncomfortable for
a while, or if you'll shut me out and dispose of my irritation again. That will only feel
like an eternity.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:36 PM
But as long as it's more convenient for you, why of course!
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:37 PM
But I want a face to face at the end of this time out. I feel I at least
deserve to be given the opportunity to rebut if you choose to do something I don't agree
with. That's what I mean when I say that you hold all the power in our relationship.
Everything is up to you. Well, I need an equal voice in this. Deal?
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:40 PM
Think about your silence. I want you to understand how every minute of it feels like an hour to me.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:43 PM
It's so easy to throw me a simple yes or no answer when I give you that out.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:43 PM
That means more panic and longer messages from me trying to get a response.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:44 PM
I understand what you're saying, but you understand that you send 75 questions and 18 messages every time you send me a question and I don't know which question you're referring to when you say something like "Give me a yes or a no."
Steven • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:45 PM
That's why I have begged that we talk via phone.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:46 PM
Don't beg.
Steven • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:46 PM
It's unbecoming
Steven • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:46 PM
I kinda have to!
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:46 PM
You don't give easily
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:46 PM
You really don't.
Steven • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:47 PM
Putting more pressure on a conversation, definitely seems like something cut out for me.
Steven • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:47 PM
I didn't really understand that
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:48 PM
C'mon man. You know I don't like to talk anyways, but when you're begging me to give you words you want to hear it makes me want to go silent for fear of saying the wrong thing.
Steven • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:49 PM
I'm walking home up the hill. I may faint.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:49 PM
Well then focus on the walking and not on your phone. I'll hit you up later.
Steven • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:49 PM
Not speaking what you feel is the only wrong thing to say. I've said so many times that I only want your truth. Stop trying to protect me from your truth!
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:50 PM
I'm pretty sure if I let you go now I won't hear from you again until sometime tomorrow.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:51 PM
You only respond when I get to the end of my rope and threaten to burn the bridge.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:52 PM
Case in point.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:55 PM
"C'mon man. You know I don't like to talk anyways, but when you're begging me
to give you words you want to hear it makes me want to go silent for fear of saying the
wrong thing." That may be where our disconnect is. I don't have words that I expect you to
say in order to get past a disagreement or an argument. All I want is for you to be honest.
Say what you mean, without trying to shield me and my poor feelings from being hurt by it.
Don't you see that I'm being hurt by the silence more than your truth could ever do? Didn't
you learn from before that trying to protect me gets in the way of my being able to fully
understand what it is that you are trying to say to me?
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 6:59 PM
Nothing you say can cut deeper than the pain and fear you give me with silence.
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 7:01 PM
PLEASE!
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 7:03 PM
This isn't fair!
Quintin • Aug 27, 2019 - 7:03 PM
He stopped responding. I found out months and months later what he was doing that was more important than having this conversation with me and being done with it. He and Rory went back up to Seattle, checked in at Z Club, and broadcast their fucked up sex show live on his xhamster channel. There are things I can forgive, some of them pretty awful. This is not one of those things. I will never forgive him for choosing Rory and a sex show over me that night. Not ever.
I know you are just performing this whole monster act hoping it will be enough to send me away to hatesville. It won't. I'll be out in the parking lot waiting.
Quintin • Aug 28, 2019 - 2:48 PM
I don't hate you I nothing you I have no feelings either way have a great day
Steven • Aug 28, 2019 - 2:52 PM
I know that isn't true. I'll wait. You have to come home at some point.
Did you happen to read my message about the time I'm available?
Quintin • Aug 28, 2019 - 6:38 PM
I will just assume that Karma has begun its quick and thorough fucking of your world and that you don't have time or the means to respond while you lie back and take it like a man.
Quintin • Aug 28, 2019 - 7:13 PM
Re: The Painting
From: Steven Schofield 8/31/19
in order for something to be called off it has to be planned first. you made a suggestion I told you know therefore it wasn't calling anything off that being said I've been really busy this weekend I'm sorry I haven't gotten your stuff I already found a stylus replacement and thank you for the link for the belly replacement honestly I don't want the painting back I don't want anything back there anything you can trash the table I don't care your stuff will probably be returned to you very shortly I believe Rory's might be doing it right now but if he's not then I'll make sure you get it sometime very soon if I don't get it to you before you go I promise you I will take it to stir and it'll be safe I con't hate you just so you know I hope nothing but the best for you.
Hey, any idea what Steven meant when he told me that you might be returning my things for him right now? What's going on?
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:42PM
He is being the selfish asshole he always is
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:43PM
Ah. So, he doesn't want a face to face with me.
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:44PM
No it's not that
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:44PM
It's a long story
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:44PM
Ooooo-k
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:44PM
He and I got into it this morning so he ditched me in downtown Seattle with no money and no way home
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:44PM
OMG
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:45PM
I told him I didn't trust him with my stuff or yours so I was going to take it
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:45PM
Yeah
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:45PM
And he is proud that he did it
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:45PM
I can't fucking do this
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:46PM
What are you going to do? Are you still stranded?
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:46PM
Now I have nowhere to stay during chemo
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:46PM
No I got a bus
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:46PM
So, you and he had my things with you in Seattle, had a fight, and you held onto them, while he bailed. And now you're bussing back to your sister's place? Is that right?
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:48PM
He had some of your things with him. Still has them the rest is at his house
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:49PM
I can't get back to sedro Woolley until Tuesday
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:49PM
But I can't start chemo now either
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:50PM
So confused. I'm sorry he is taking it out on you
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:50PM
What???
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:50PM
Do you want to call me?
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:50PM
I can't. My battery is about to die and he has my only charger
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:51PM
Fuck. How can I help you, Rory?
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:51PM
Where are you?
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:52PM
I am on my way to that guy who keeps buying me stuffs place
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:53PM
Ok.
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:53PM
Yeah I will be ok there
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:53PM
Let me know if there is something you need. If I can help, I will.
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:54PM
Ok I will
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:54PM
Was he at the bathhouse?
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:54PM
Heading to work? What is Steven doing today? I'm going to have a word.
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:55PM
We had gone to the bath house and he went to work
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:56PM
And told me he shot up heroine today
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:56PM
He WHAT???
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:58PM
That's what he told me
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:58PM
Oh, hell no.
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:58PM
I'm going to change my train ticket for tomorrow. Right now, I have to catch a bus to Northgate.
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:59PM
Don't. If this is the life he wants let him have it
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:59PM
He is choosing this
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 12:59PM
Take care and be safe, Rory. And let's see if we can find a way to keep you on schedule for chemo.
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:00PM
Ok well have a fun ride
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:00PM
I can't let this happen just because I couldn't follow the rules
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:00PM
Do you know what his schedule was?
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:01PM
Is he off at 4:00?
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:01PM
I will be ok i promise. I don't know I think he is off at 4
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:02PM
But I am done I will never speak to him again
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:02PM
K. Thank you.
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:02PM
I can't say that I blame you.
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:02PM
You are welcome
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:02PM
After everything I have forgiven that he has don't to me
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:03PM
I know some of what you're feeling. It sucks ass.
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:03PM
Done to me
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:03PM
This is how he wants things
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:03PM
😟
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:03PM
He will use anything as an excuse to get high
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:04PM
He is addicted
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:04PM
But heroin???
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:04PM
WTF did that shit come from?
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:04PM
My dad was a heroine junkie he probably just said it to get to me
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:05PM
Fucker
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:05PM
That's fucked up
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:05PM
Yep
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:07PM
And that is enough right there to tell me he doesn't give two shots about me
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:07PM
Shits
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:09PM
He cares for himself primarily, until he hates himself, and then he sort of wakes up from Hulking out, sees the damage he's let himself do, and goes back into Hulking out.
Quintin • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:09PM
Yep
Rory • Sat Aug 31, 2019 - 1:09PM
I don't know if I am still blocked by you on this number, but I had to try. Please tell me that you were just "going for the white meat" when you told Rory you shot up with heroin at the bathhouse this morning. It's not an understatement to say that I am alarmed and extremely concerned about you right now. Putting aside our differences, I need to hear you are not spinning out of control because of the shit I put you through. Please?
Quintin • Aug 31, 2019 - 1:57 PM
I am changing my departure time for this evening. I can't go to Portland until I have confidence that you aren't using heroin.
Quintin • Aug 31, 2019 - 2:30 PM
SEPTEMBER 2019
The Aftermath
Dude you got shit all wrong. And that's okay. Again, I am not sending any hate your way. (Omit talking shit yesterday.) I just know that us being friends is likely to end badly. I hope a lot of good things for you. And the exchange is not being "put off" as you have said, rather I don't have the time. Commuting is kicking my ass. If you want to come get your things, I'll let you know when I am home. Know this young Skywalker, you are a good guy, and I am happy we were in each other's lives even if we couldn't stay. 😉
Steven • Sep 5, 2019 - 1:51PM
Call when you're pulling in the apartment please
Steven • Sep 5, 2019 - 9:22 PM
Apartments,
Steven • Sep 5, 2019 - 9:23 PM
If it's not a good time, I can wait.
Quintin • Sep 5, 2019 - 9:28 PM
I don't want to interrupt anything.
Quintin • Sep 5, 2019 - 9:29 PM
But you need to let me know so I don't pay to reserve a car I'm not going to use tonight.
Quintin • Sep 5, 2019 - 9:36 PM
Ok, well I'm walking to the car now. Can start driving at 10:30.
Quintin • Sep 5, 2019 - 9:56 PM
I'm a bit nervous that you are not answering.
Quintin • Sep 5, 2019 - 10:09 PM
Hello???
Quintin • Sep 5, 2019 - 10:46 PM
What the fuck did I do now?
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 12:43 AM
You are the most confounding man I have ever encountered in my long long life.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 12:45 AM
If you're lucky perhaps karma will take your dick away and then you'll be able to think with your brain and maybe even with your heart.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 12:46 AM
Are you kidding me??? That fast? It has to be a fuckin record. You still have my phone. I want it.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 1:37 AM
When you bring the phone, please give me as much notice as possible.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 7:37 AM
I don't suppose you still want to give me that coffee table, now that we aren't friends, huh?
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 7:38 AM
Ha! I don't even know where I'm blocked and talking to no one. You have really managed to scramble communication with me. Well done.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 7:39 AM
Can you please let me know if/when you unblock me from this line?
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 8:01 AM
Not trying to inundate you with messages, I just don't know which of the dozen or so places I've had to try reaching you that you are actually watching. So I need to consolidate all that BS back to a single, grown person telephone number.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 8:03 AM
Testing? Testing? I guess the trick is to bug the shit out of you here to see if I'm making it through the shields.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 8:47 AM
So I'll list my unaddressed grievances here until I know you have unblocked me.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 8:48 AM
1) I'm never fully heard, which means my voice, or at least most of it, has never factored into any of the important things that have happened between us, because you choose to ignore most of what I write.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 8:50 AM
2) When you can't wait for my part of the conversation to be over, you have a subconscious verbal tick that signals you have listened to as much as you can, and that it is time for you to resume talking. You wait with your mouth open, and quickly interject with, "Yeah, but anyway, uh...".
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 8:52 AM
3) I don't know how much therapy it will take for me to ever be able to be intimate with another man, but the realization you threw at me when you finally, FINALLY grew the balls to say how uncomfortable you got when you were faced with the prospect of having sex with me, not because I'm too fat or unattractive, but because I cared too much about sex with you, well that right there is going to haunt me for more than a little while. You humiliated me beyond belief by informing me I had been attempting for so long to seduce someone who sat there dreading the act and thinking of ways to get out of it. Unless, of course, there was some other hot piece of ass there to hold your attention so you could perform. I will NEVER recover from that. Thank you. Really. You amaze me.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 9:00 AM
Unblocked yet?
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 9:00 AM

4) You spent more time trying to find soft, safe language to use when responding to me than you should have. In doing so, important bits of information were swept under a rug because you didn't think I could handle them. You did more damage to our friendship by protecting me than I did by becoming jealous. And the reason that is true, is because had you simply told me what was actually going through your head when I made sexual advances toward you after you had become repulsed by my affection, I would have suffered a tiny amount of embarrassment then compared to what I am drowning in now, and it would have stopped. Instead, you let me believe that you still wanted sex from me.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 9:06 AM
5) When I rebut something, and I can prove that you are mistaken, you shift and deflect so that I forget the open argument. Case in point, you called me a liar the other night. When I pointed out that it was actually you who lied, you followed with a stabbing remark like, " Don't Tell lies, Won't be called one. I learned that the hard way." When I asked you about it, you never answered. You do that ALL the time. I hate you for that.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 9:11 AM
CAN YOU SEE THIS TEXT MESSAGE, STEVEN?!?!
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 9:16 AM
Ok ok I give I give! haha No more electrocomunicado!
Steven • Sep 6, 2019 - 9:24 AM
Great.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 9:25 AM
Thank you for your attention.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 9:25 AM
Now, when you're ready to go through all of those and admit you were wrong on every count, please be sure to call me. I want to know what that sounds like.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 9:26 AM
Why did I have to meet you so far away from your apartment last night?
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 9:37 AM
That's officially #6).
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 9:37 AM
So I've read the screenshots of the actual messages. And again, you missed the issue. For lack of a better term, you're needy. Too needy. So unintentionally, wholeheartedly, just-want-to-understand, and lovingly-pick-and-poke-at-you-till-you're-running-away, show-you-affection-always, answer-this-question-and-this-and-this-and-what-about-this-ingly needy. In the most loving and caring kind of ways.
Steven • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:16 AM
You need someone more straitforward than I.
Steven • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:17 AM
Someone who can shut you up and explain.
Steven • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:17 AM
I mean that in a good way.
Steven • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:17 AM
Absolutely.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:17 AM
I'm not that dude.
Steven • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:17 AM
I couldn't agree more.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:17 AM
I run.
Steven • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:17 AM
Cowardice isn't something I can easily admit.
Steven • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:18 AM
So I won't.
Steven • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:18 AM
Ha!
Steven • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:18 AM
Sucks I had to find that out after I'd already fallen.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:18 AM
Could have saved me a lot of pain at your doing.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:18 AM
But you get me, ya smell what I'm steppin' in? Pick'n up what I'm layin' down?
Steven • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:19 AM
So, when I go to see my therapist, should I lead with sexual dysfunction stemming from an unattractive but loving neediness that keeps men from wanting me?
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:20 AM
Not sure what the clinical term for that might be...
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:21 AM
And don't mistake my anger for being hurt by this unusual bit of unfiltered candor. This is not hurtful. I'm hurting because you chose to hurt me.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:22 AM
I'm sure I helped guide the topic wrong. I fucked some shit up. You, acted as a conscience, a parent type. At first I thought it as a pseudo boyfriend role, but no. It was, a parent. I put you there, or you took on the role. Either way, I think that is a huge part of all of this.
Steven • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:22 AM
Do you know why I felt compelled to always dig deeper with more questions? It was your half truths, technicalities, omissions, and protection that caused me to feel some info was always missing. I had to dig and push and pull and yank to get anything fully honest and open out of you.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:24 AM
Always. In a loving and caring way, of course.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:24 AM
The parent thing, while gross, is intriguing.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:25 AM
I never wanted to be in that role for sure! Just like I don't want to have this kind of conversation via text. But you kinda forced it on me.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:26 AM
In both cases
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:26 AM
And, so if I'm following you, you began to see me as a father figure of sorts because I held you accountable, called you out on your shit when it was clear there was shit to be called out, and I have a good 10 years on you. Then, since you started seeing me that way, it didn't help your libido any when your parent started needing you to fuck him and treat him like a fuck toy once in a goddamned while so he felt wanted. A parent shouldn't be wanted that way, and certainly not that much. Right?
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:33 AM
I probably spoiled you, too, though. Every little need I could detect, I tried to fill. I nurtured you for months on end, which from my perspective, was me doing helpful things for a lover, but from yours it looked more like a helicopter parent swooping in to be involved in every aspect of the kid's life.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:35 AM
What's twisted is that what I was doing when I kept giving and giving and helping was what I so badly wished I could get back from you in any measure. But you weren't able to see past that parent trap, and so for you it wasn't the kind of give and take that lovers do, but the kind families have, with emotional strings and lots of conditions.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:39 AM
rules and conditions, rather.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:39 AM
Where you saw someone who could both nurture you and alternatively discipline you, perhaps incessantly, what I was trying to do was give you so much of my love in any form I could shape it that perhaps, if I was devoted and caring but also kept from sounding like I needed the specific label you didn't want, if I could inject enough of the love I felt into you somehow, I thought it might tip the scales and make you finally love me back.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:44 AM
Something that could have and should have been uncovered months ago had this kind of conversation been permitted to happen,
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:45 AM
ya know?
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:45 AM
OMFG! You literally just did #5 to #6! You subject changing, sneaky bitch!
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 11:32 AM
You work both places today?
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 12:47 PM
I'm eager to hear your take on my last few thoughts there.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 1:03 PM
"Yes, Quintin. I, too, am eager to dive into the thoughts on the roots of rot which destroyed our friendship and left us estranged beyond repair", he replied.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 2:15 PM
Ok, now we are back to you just being rude.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 4:25 PM
And just when we were making such progress.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 4:40 PM
You're about to get exposure to a hurt, angry parental figure who is too ruined to have sex AND who is going through withdrawal. Fuck you, man. I wouldn't want to be that asshole today! Yikes.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 4:42 PM
Clooney already wants to audition for the lead in the movie version of this Perfect Storm you just sailed into.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 4:44 PM
Did I say something in my pondering your parent thing to throw you back into hiding, or is this just your ordinary, everyday flavor of ignoring me?
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 6:16 PM
I get the two mixed up nowadays, they alternate so frequently.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 6:16 PM
I'm kicking myself for giving as much attention as I have trying to talk through the issues and uncover some useful truth to learn from. You are a thief of time.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 6:18 PM
I shut down communications through the apps. If/when you need to reach me, this is where you can.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 9:34 PM
Since I can't tell if you are getting these, can you just let me know that you are?
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 10:44 PM
Ok. I'm going to bed. Bye, I guess.
Quintin • Sep 6, 2019 - 11:18 PM
As tempting as it is to step right back into what you call the parenting role,
I can't, shouldn't, and won't. You are stubborn. You don't feel any compulsion to
communicate effectively. And I have no space left to compel you to do so. So, with that
said, just let me know when you plan to get the phone to me, and I'll seek my own closure on
this fiasco of a friendship in my own time with whatever questions going unanswered and
learning only what I can from my perspective eventually. I see that relying on your
participation to do that is as futile as trying to earn your love and respect. Not easily
done. Best of luck to you, Steven. I hope things work out for you in all things, and that
you, too, try to learn something from the failures we had here. Maybe your future
relationships will be more fruitful because of the cautionary tale this one ended up being.
My advice -- don't let sensitive, emotionally fragile men get close to your flame. It burns
bright, but it consumes everything. They will only perish in you. Spare them. I wish I could
go back and spare me. Goodbye.
Quintin • Sep 7, 2019 - 7:42 AM

Quintin • Sep 7, 2019 - 5:39 PM

Quintin • Sep 7, 2019 - 5:39 PM
Well, I guess if you do ever see this, and if you care at all to help, give me a call.
Quintin • Sep 7, 2019 - 6:37 PM
As you are very well aware, it's no exaggeration to say that I am currently in agony.
Quintin • Sep 7, 2019 - 6:38 PM

Quintin • Sun Sep 8, 2019
Don was going to help, but well, not now…
Steven • Sun Sep 8, 2019 - 8:30 AM
Ah, there it is. That's the thinly veiled accusation I was waiting for. Somehow I figured your being evicted would be my fault for having told Don about your scheme to get into his will. My bad, Steven.
Quintin • Sun Sep 8, 2019
Nah, nobody's fault but mine, no help. But yes I'll land on my feet.

Quintin • Sun Sep 8, 2019

Steven • Sun Sep 8, 2019 - 8:44 AM
This isn't funny, Steven. It's useless if I can't get past your logon.
Quintin • Sun Sep 8, 2019
Spelled and capitalized that way?
Quintin • Sun Sep 8, 2019
I'm not laughing, but honestly, I give a fuck about the CPU. I'm trying to find a place for my shit and a home for my cats. So excuse me for not making your CPU that you admitedly don't use a priority
Steven • Sun Sep 8, 2019 - 8:45 AM
Forgive you? Hardly. Up until a week ago, maybe even a few days ago, I'd have been right there offering to help you. But you've shown me what you think of me.
Quintin • Sun Sep 8, 2019
What with my extra bedroom and all the space...
Quintin • Sun Sep 8, 2019
But you had to double down on being a total dick.
Quintin • Sun Sep 8, 2019
You know what I meant
Steven • Sun Sep 8, 2019 - 8:48 AM
Get over yourself
Steven • Sun Sep 8, 2019 - 8:49 AM
That's great advice.
Quintin • Sun Sep 8, 2019
You should take it.
Quintin • Sun Sep 8, 2019
When you bring the phone, will you try to log into this thing, please?

Shall I start asking via Shari's's number?
Quintin • Sun Sep 8, 2019
Ok, Will do.
Quintin • Sun Sep 8, 2019
She says you're working, but she hasn't seen you yet.
Quintin • Sun Sep 8, 2019
Running late?

Did you have something you wanted to talk about?
Quintin • Sep 9, 2019 - 9:12 AM
No idea if you reblocked me. We going to play this game again today? I'm off.
Quintin • Sep 9, 2019 - 10:17 AM
Though I can think of better ways to spend my last day of staycation than bombarding you with messages from more and more numbers just to get a simple acknowledgement that one of them is getting through.
Quintin • Sep 9, 2019 - 10:20 AM
This one.
Quintin • Sep 9, 2019 - 10:33 AM
And I'm blocked. You should know by now that this only fans the flames.

Subject: If you need help solving your housing or unemployment issues, I have experience!
Steven,
I understand that you have some troubling things happening in your life at
the moment. I don't want to add to the stress you are already undoubtedly struggling
with. If you would see your way past the anxiety, the frustration, and whatever other
complex feelings might be helping to erect this unnecessary wall between us just as we
approach the finish line, I assure you we can come to a suitable arrangement quickly and
without drama.
I am willing and perhaps able to meet you half way if I only had enough
information about when and where you would be available. Left in the dark like this, I
can't help formulate a plan. All I can do is shoot in the dark and try to elicit some
kind of a response, since you have blocked me at every pass. Sure, I could waste another
of my days off creating infinite new phone numbers and email addresses from which to
reach out to you, but that only serves to further aggravate you, and that's not going to
help. What we need is to agree to a quick chat so that I can pair my availability with
yours and come up with a solution. That's it. That's all we need to do in order to get
me back my phone.
If you would be so kind as to unblock my main number, (504)###-#### long
enough to give me a call and talk about when and where we can meet so that it's
practical for us both, we can put this nonsense behind us. You can focus all your energy
on whatever crisis it is that you're dealing with, and I can go on with my life not
worried about if or when I will ever have access to my mom's final messages. It may not
be that important to you, but to me, there are few things in the world I value more, and
I was a fool to have thought that sacrificing those messages was worth it to help out a
friend who didn't even request my help. I regret that, along with many of the things
that have happened recently. But that's mine to deal with privately. You don't need to
be bothered by my mistakes any longer.
Please call me at 504-###-#### at your earliest convenience to briefly talk about this. It will be the last time you have to hear my voice after the exchange.
Please and thank you.
Quintin

It really would mean a lot to me if I can get the phone back and hear my mom's voice again. I'm beginning to forget what she sounded like.
Quintin • Sep 09, 2019 - 2:25 PM
At around 9:30 AM on September 11, I received a phone call at work from an hysterical Rory, who breathlessly stammered and squawked about how Steven had overdosed on GHB and was unresponsive. When I last spoke to Steven, he was in a very depressive state arguing with his bank about releasing a portion of his deposit. He told me he had three bottles of GHB and a couple of beers in his bag, and that he was thinking of just getting it all over with and drinking them down. So when I received the call from Rory, I thought he had actually done it.
Rory asked me what to do. Let that sink in a moment. The live-in ex-boyfriend of my now ex-best friend couldn't draw on the 13 years they'd spent together to formulate a plan of action in the face of an emergency. So he called ME!
Having remembered Steven's previous conversation, I told Rory to call 911 and get the paramedics there, and that in the meantime he should ensure Steven was breathing, that his airway was unobstructed, and that he was lying on his stomach in case he puked.
I agreed to leave work and meet them at the hospital, which by bus was not a quick or easy thing to do. When I arrived at the bus stop nearest to the hospital, I still had approximately 3/4 of a mile to walk before getting there. I had sprinted half of that distance when a hysterical Rory called me once more reporting between heavy breaths that Steven had woken up in the ER and had run out of the hospital in a fury. Rory was doing his best to follow him and keep him in sight, but even barefooted and in a hospital gown and jeans, Steven's stride outpaced Rory's squat little hops.
He called me back several times breathing heavily and in a panic to update me on their whereabouts. His directions and choice of landmarks were awful. I found myself on a wrong local bus twice because of his bombastic delivery of his location, and ultimately opted to spend the last of my money on a Lyft to beat Steven back to his apartment. I did get there before him and before Rory, too. I waited on the patio, making sure no one was inside. When Rory arrived, he had Steven's keys and opened the front door to let us inside. There we waited amid a hoard of junk piled and stacked everywhere.
It had gotten mighty crowded in Steven's 1 bedroom apartment. When he came barging in through the front door, he went straight past us in a rage and into his bedroom, locking the door and packing a bag. He was intent on fleeing the state in his outrage and confusion. He came out of the room only to get some things from the bathroom, and when I approached him to try and deescalate the situation so that he could calm down and talk, he grabbed a put put golf putter and swung it at my hand, which was resting on the wall. He missed, intentionally I believe, but had it poised for another strike
as he warned me to leave his home. I stood there silently. He began to scream out, "Help! Help me, neighbors! I have intruders trespassing! Help me, please!". Still I did not budge or say a word, which only further infuriated him. He swing the putter at my head, narrowly missing my temple, then stepped out into the living room and hurled a huge wood and metal coffee table across the room at me. I'd had enough. He wasn't worth this. He hadn't deserved my last few dollars for a Lyft or my full day of work, which I would have to make up for with my accrued leave. He didn't give a fuck. I left.
I went to the bus stop a short distance outside his complex's main entrance, and I stood there for nearly an hour with a dying cell phone fuming, spitting angry words, and furiously typing some of the most hateful words I've ever conjured to Steven via text and email. Reading them back now, I cannot believe they were my words at all.
Please keep me informed. Did 911 respond yet?
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:07AM

I don't know they are talking to eachother
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:12AM
Can i call you
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:12AM
Calm down. Did they say that they are refusing to transfer him?
Quintin • Wed Sep 11,
2019 - 11:13AM
Yes
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:13AM
Ok I have to ride the bus there too so if you get there before I do lie and say you are family. They
already know I am not
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:44AM
That way one of us can. Go see him
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:44AM
Ok
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:44AM
Thank you. I am so scared
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:45AM
He's going to be fine. They will keep him breathing, and the poisoning effects wear off quickly.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:45AM
Yeah and then he is going to kill me
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:46AM
This will be the end of his and I ever talking
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:46AM
They might refer him for a psychiatric evaluation since it was a suicide attempt.
Quintin
• Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:46AM
Shit
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:47AM
He did this.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:47AM
Well honestly that might be a good thing
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:47AM
Yes
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:47AM
I know
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:47AM
If they ask who is coming, I'm his step-brother.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:49AM
Ok perfect
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:49AM
I'm drawing a blank on his mom's name.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:49AM
In case they test me.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:49AM
Ruth
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:50AM
Thanks
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:50AM
Of course
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:50AM
Leaving the office now. Had to sign off on payroll and get permission to leave.
Quintin •
Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:50AM
I'll see you there.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:51AM
Yeah no problem see you there
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 11:51AM
What can you tell me about how this happened? How did you find him?
Quintin • Wed Sep
11, 2019 - 12:12PM
He yell texted me a bunch of swearing this morning when I reached out to try and find out if I could
help him somehow and said he had the GHB and beer, that he was overwhelmed trying to get rent money and arguing with
you about something, but immediately said he wouldn't do this. He apparently changed his mind.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:16PM
He was in the living room with me. We had been arguing and then finally made some headway. He was
sitting on the floor and then started breathing funny. Then he couldn't open his eyes on his own. And couldn't talk
or control his limbs.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:17PM
He is gonna be ok right?
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:17PM
I told him I would back off and remove myself from the field of play since he considered my trying to
help another thing to contend with, and that's the last thing said.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 -
12:17PM
Yeah I guess he did
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:18PM
He will be. I've survived the same thing.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:18PM
I feel terrible
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:18PM
He needs fluids and oxygen, and it will burn out of his system like alcohol.
Quintin •
Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:18PM
Ok. I have never seen anything like it
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:18PM
I did the right thing calling 911 right
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:19PM
There isn't anything like it. It's ugly.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:19PM
I mean what else could I do
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:19PM
Absolutely
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:19PM
You did the right thing. He's going to live because you called.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11,
2019 - 12:19PM
Ok good
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:20PM
He may be angry about it, but in time, he'll come to his senses.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11,
2019 - 12:20PM
I don't care if he hates me as long as he is ok
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:21PM
And frankly, fuck how he feels about it. That's what he gets for this cowardly act.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:21PM
I know but still he is Steven. I couldn't take it if he died.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 -
12:22PM
Don't worry. He's going to be fine. Maybe they will be able to get him to seek therapy.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:22PM
Of course not.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:22PM
I hope so.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:22PM
And that's what he was willing to put us both through.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 -
12:22PM
I know. But you know that he is a different person when he has been using heavy. He isn't himself.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:23PM
To escape his immediate problems, he was willing to saddle us both with grief for the rest of our
lives.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:23PM
Not an excuse though
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:23PM
No. It's not.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:24PM
I agree
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:24PM
I'm so angry at him right now I could spit acid. But I love the son of a bitch, too, which makes
everything else secondary.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:25PM
Luckily, I'm surpringly good at crisis management, so that kicked in and now all the feels are on pause
until we get him through this.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:26PM
I know what you mean
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:26PM
Was he supposed to work today? Have his employers been notified?
Quintin • Wed Sep 11,
2019 - 12:38PM
That's good because I am a mess
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:38PM
I can help with that.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:38PM
No he has today off. I figured I would call Mike later if I need to. I did talk to his sister.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:39PM
Ok
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:39PM
Good.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:39PM
What is the situation with the apartment? Is there a pending eviction order?
Quintin •
Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:40PM
Umm I am not sure what's going on. He got paid yesterday and gets paid tomorrow and I gave him half the
rent
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:41PM
So not sure. When we fought he told me I couldn't stay there so I told him I want my money back and
there seemed to be some issue with his bank releasing the funds but I don't know what the truth is. He hasn't been
the most honest lately.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:42PM
He mentioned he was at the bank getting out the money you wanted back when he cursed me out this
morning. Did he do that? Just trying to get a picture of the financial landscape and any impediment to paying rent.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:42PM
He said he couldn't that it would be a day or two
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:43PM
I guess the bank's decision played a role in what came next.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 -
12:43PM
So it's still in there that I know of
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:43PM
Ok
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:43PM
I guess but when he got home we made up and were doing good
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 -
12:44PM
Does his job do direct deposit? Or does he have to deposit a paper check?
Quintin • Wed
Sep 11, 2019 - 12:44PM
We were talking and everything seemed fine. He said he took some g and wouldn't be very talkative for a
while
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:44PM
I don't know if they would release his check to either of us
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019
- 12:45PM
I don't think they direct deposit
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:45PM
Did he also have alcohol?
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:45PM
I think Mike might
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:45PM
Perhaps. Yeah.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:45PM
Umm he had one beer in the fridge
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:46PM
I don't know where his t was. I didn't see it anywhere. I hope it's not on him or anything
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:47PM
Fuck. He is gonna kill me
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:47PM
About to get off the bus
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:47PM
Ok I am in the er waiting room I will come outside
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:48PM
I don't know what direction you will be coming from though.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 -
12:49PM
East
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:50PM
Walking west down 344th
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:50PM
He is walking home
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:58PM
Where are you?
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:59PM
I'm in the parking lot
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 12:59PM
Rory, I need a location
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:00PM
The.lordt.untidy@gmail.com
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:05PM
I'm getting on the 182 to the 993, then the 901 to his apartment.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11,
2019 - 1:11PM
ETA 45 mins.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:11PM
Walking takes 1hour 20 mins
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:11PM
Ok I am getting on the 903 to the 901
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:11PM
Yeah not doing that
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:12PM
No, I meant for him
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:12PM
Umm cut that by half
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:13PM
He is quick
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:13PM
Fine
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:13PM
He'll be tired
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:13PM
Seriously it's crazy how fast he is. Especially when he is mad
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 -
1:13PM
He isn't going to forgive me for this
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:14PM
Don't worry about that right now
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:14PM
He doesn't remember us making up. He thinks we were still fighting and i did this to be mean
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:14PM
I'm going to deal with him.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:15PM
He is really pissed that I called you
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:15PM
Rory, I can't manage a crisis that hasn't happened yet.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 -
1:15PM
He doesn't have his keys so he won't be able to get in the house
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019
- 1:15PM
Chill
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:15PM
I know I am just filling you in
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:15PM
I am
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:15PM
We will deal with the fallout. Everything is going to be fine
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019
- 1:16PM
Just waiting for the bus
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:16PM
Ik
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:16PM
Ok
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:16PM
Hopefully
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:16PM
Steven is a special case to say the least.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:16PM
I just missed mine.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:16PM
Oh damn
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:17PM
Can't be on the phone
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:17PM
Ok sorry
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:17PM
Somewhere running between the bus stop in Tacoma and now I have lost my pack of cigarettes. Fuck
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:25PM
That sucks I am sorry
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:26PM
I'm taking a Lyft.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:36PM
Ok I am at the tra sit center my bus should be here any minute
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 -
1:42PM
Ok
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:42PM
I'm at the apartment. No sign of him yet.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:55PM
Ok good. Almost there
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 1:55PM
Another thing to consider, he's terrible with directions, even with a clear head.
Quintin
• Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:01PM
TRUE
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:01PM
Well it was his choice to run off
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:02PM
He's taken at least two, maybe three wrong turns by now.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 -
2:02PM
I'm going to go sit on the patio
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:03PM
I am sorry
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:18PM
Me, too.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:23PM
He says you are still right outside
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:33PM
Idk how he would know that
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:33PM
I'm on the fucking 901 halfway to the transit center
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:33PM
He's insane.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:34PM
I didn't think you were here
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:34PM
I know
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:34PM
He should be held against his will and restrained until he gets his fucking senses back.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:34PM
They very well could be urged to send PD to do a wellfare check, since he stormed out of the hospital
against medical advice.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:35PM
I'm very worried about his mental state right now, officer!
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 -
2:36PM
He just attempted suicide a few hours ago!
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:36PM
I am too. He is not ok
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:37PM
That's what I plan to say when I call FWPD on his ass for swinging a god damned golf club at me.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:38PM
Please dont
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:38PM
He's violent, officer!
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:38PM
It will make things so much worse
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:38PM
For whom? Not for me.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:38PM
He should have kept on walking. He fucked up.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:39PM
For me
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:39PM
I don't play that shit. He wants to be a big man and threaten me with physical violence, he's going to
see what that fucking bought him.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:40PM
I can't tell you what to do. It's your decision. But I do think that before you do anything you should
catch your breath. Jail isn't going to help him at all. It's going to expose him to more people like him. But worse.
I know it's fucked up what he did. But I don't want to put him someplace he will only get worse.
Rory
• Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:43PM
I understand whatever you decide to do. I just look at it differently I guess.
Rory •
Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:45PM
Thank you for being there today. If he doesn't see it was out of love I do.
Rory • Wed
Sep 11, 2019 - 2:45PM
I hope you and I can continue to have done kind of open dialogue. But if not I understand
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 2:55PM
Not to interfere in your relationship with Steven, and not coming from a place of judgement, but
observation in the form of some unsolicited feedback
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 4:05PM
Yeah I don't think there will be a relationship between he and I. But i do appreciate the feedback. I
am still very sorry about how eve went today
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 4:10PM
So am I. It was an unfortunate and unnecessary cluster fuck
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 -
4:12PM
Yeah it was but hey we did the right thing and now at least someone besides me sees how he is being
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 4:13PM
I saw, alright
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 4:14PM
Yeah and I am the over reacting irrational person according to him.
Rory • Wed Sep 11,
2019 - 4:14PM
I think he sometimes thinks that he is the only same person in the world. He literally pulled out a
catheter to leave today
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 4:16PM
I hope his dick bleeds for a week. Maybe he'll stop thinking with it for a while.
Quintin
• Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 4:19PM
And honestly, Rory? With all you have going on at the moment? You would do yourself a HUGE favor by
putting him in your rear view mirror. Honestly, there's nothing good in maintaining that relationship with all its
stress and uncertainty while you're battling cancer. He has become a cancer himself. Toxic to anyone he maintains
contact with.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 4:44PM
You deserve a fighting chance, and you won't get that fighting with him for sport.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 4:45PM
Excise that 160# tumor and fly free.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 4:46PM
I have to admit I know you are right. I am currently figuring out other options. I care about him and
always will but I have to care about me more. It's kind of a new concept for me. For 13 years I put his needs before
my own and look what it got me
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 5:03PM
Nut cancer. Not a good return on investment, if you ask me.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 -
5:06PM
All his talk about his next big tattoo, he should be court ordered to have a Surgeon General's warning
tattooed on him someplace visible.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 5:07PM
Lol or at least something from the CDC warning about high risk behaviors.
Rory • Wed Sep
11, 2019 - 5:22PM
Nah, I'm not about peddling shame or stigma for otherwise healthy human behaviors.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 5:25PM
Umm define healthy
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 5:34PM
Consensual sexual interactions accompanied by open, honest dialogue about sexual health.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 5:35PM
With anyone else I would say healthy. He takes it to a level unimaginable by most. Seriously.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 5:36PM
And I didn't just mean sexxual warning from the CDC. They deal in all kinds of diseases
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 5:37PM
He's an addict. To drugs, to sex, to external validation.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 -
5:37PM
Yeah I have a feeling the dialogue part gets skipped more often then not.
Rory • Wed Sep
11, 2019 - 5:37PM
Same. It's been a recurring topic of lecture between us
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 -
5:44PM
I can imagine. But when one is not at all selective when it comes to strangers one tends to get
reminders of those strangers that can only be cleared up after a Dr visit and a prescription
Rory •
Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 5:47PM
As evidenced by the gonorrhoea he gave me a while back. I got to suffer the consequences of his
indiscretions. Oh, wait. Sorry. He was very discriminant when it came to me.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11,
2019 - 5:51PM
Oh I had no idea he passed that along. I must say he got the call while at my house in Yakima. It was
seriously like an early Christmas present to me. It is also at the same time he told me he was escorting.and yes of
course he was. You aren't a stranger.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 5:53PM
No, you misunderstand. He stopped engaging in those activities with me a long time ago, because,
according to him, to continue doing so would make it too hard for him to not think of me as a boyfriend. So, it was
my birthday gift of charity head (my birthday, his gift) that gave me the throat clap.
Quintin • Wed
Sep 11, 2019 - 5:56PM
Oh that's terrible. I am so sorry
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 5:57PM
I don't want to continue talking about him. He doesn't deserve this much of my attention span. Fuck that abusive cockhound loser.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 5:57PM
Cheers to that
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 5:58PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 6:01PM
Ok kind of jealous
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 6:02PM
Wow Quintin that is a really fucked up to say to someone. If you really feel so strongly against Steven
then leave him alone. What you are doing is just cruel. Why do you need to torture him? Why can't you be the bigger
person and not engage. You offer insight on how I should talk to him, look at the shit you are saying.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 8:28PM
He tried to bludgeon me. I have no regret over rewarding that with like for like. If you don't like it,
Rory, then don't read it. But if you want to lecture me on how to behave after being physically assaulted, be my
guest. Just know that I don't care to hear it.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 8:46PM
Perhaps instead evaluate how 13 years of rewarding that kind of assinine behavior resulted in the minster I saw coming at me today.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 8:49PM
*o
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 8:49PM
Because I have no patience in me for an apologist of an abuser's actions. That's how they are allowed to keep abusing
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 8:50PM
You weren't physically assulted Quintin. He didn't touch you. I would just expect more adult behavior
from an educated man like yourself. I never expected you to pull the victim card. Or to lie. I was there he didn't
assult you. He threatened to. Regardless keep it classy. I don't need to act like a child just because I am around
children. I didn't reward any behavior. You know nothing about our relationship except for Stevens perspective. And
why don't you have a 13 year relationship before you tell me all about the disfunction of mine.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 8:51PM
Then don't talk to him. Walk away.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 8:52PM
Taunting him and poking him is just perpetuating the entire situation.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 8:52PM
And wow are you stalking or something? All of your wifi signals are full strength in the apartment. You
are better then this Quintin. Come on. Don't stoop to a level that makes you look unintelligent and childish. You
aren't those things.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 8:57PM
I have last night's hysterical tantrum to go by when you were refusing to allow him to put on shoes to
follow me out for what could otherwise have been a civil goodbye to a friendship plagued by its similarity to the
13-year debacle you helped to create. Your screaming and flailing was all the evidence I needed to see that Steven's
stories of being a hen-pecked party to that relationship bore more than a little truth to it. I didn't invite you
into this feud, Rory. You took it upon yourself to take part. Witness what you will, but my relationship with your
ex is frankly none of your business.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 8:57PM
I don't care
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 8:57PM
I am literally sitting on my toilet taking a shit.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 8:58PM
You have problems. Recording other people's conversations
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 8:58PM
You sent a picture.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 8:58PM
Y'all some paranoid motherfuckers.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 8:58PM
I don't care if you did or not. You are psycho. You have serious mental issues
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 8:59PM
You have how many numbers and email addresses you try to contact him with?
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 8:59PM
Ok, victim flipper. Talk to me about mental health. I'm fascinated by your input.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 8:59PM
You stalk him
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:00PM
You can't leave him alone
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:01PM
It's sad
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:01PM
I have no problems with you, Rory. I do however have a few with your ex. Take up for his bad behavior if you wish. But I'm not interested in your opinions about how I retaliate.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:01PM
Why don't you get an actual boyfriend and a relationship before you go judging others
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:01PM
You have issues alright
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:01PM
But they go way deeper then my ex
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:02PM
And I have to deal with the bullshit that you are bringing up in him
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:02PM
Said the man unable to unclench his talons after he's been told how many times that it's over? Bitch, please.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:02PM
I don't want Steven
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:03PM
I turn down sex offers from him all the time. What jealous that he still doesn't want you? Never will. He asked me to be here. Did he you?
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:03PM
Look old man. Why can't you just now out gracefully stop acting like you know so much about me and act like a grown up. Seriously. You are being such a 14 year old girl it's pathetic.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:04PM
I didn't have to buy his affection either.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:06PM
They do go deeper. Because you can't survive without him. You are so out of touch with how to be a
stand-alone adult without the support of another that you refuse to separate yourself from his test, even when it's
dried up and unwanting of your suckle. I'm sad for you. You have had a tough string of events befall you, and that's
unfortunate. But you don't know me, either. Don't think for a moment that you do, dear.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:06PM
You couldn't afford his affection, sugar.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:06PM
You had to blackmail him for it.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:07PM
Time and time again. Each time he tried in vain to end it with you. You are just so afraid of not having him, that you are willing to excuse his poor treatment of you.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:09PM
And I get it. You have a lot of scary shit going on. You need to hold on to any sturdy foundation you can grip.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:10PM
Ok Quintin. You know so much about it. Based on what he said. Ooohh. I didn't blackmail him at all. You
can't get to me because what you think of me doesn't matter. You are irrelevant. You are nothing. You are the one
making new email addresses and phone numbers to contact him. You need to back up off his tit. Take a hint. He
doesn't want you. He didn't when I was in Yakima or Skagit valley and he doesn't now. Why force yourself into his
life. What good will that do.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:11PM
I am sad for you. You can't walk away. You insist on being in his world. Everything you said about me
totally applies to you. So go home look in the mirror. Wash out that terrible dye job and get over yourself. You can
talk all the shit you want about me or our relationship. At least I had one with him. Did you? Nope. He couldn't
stomach it.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:14PM
It might teach him some manners. Honestly, that's my only ambition. I certainly don't want that kind of
abusive tendancy in my life! I just hope that maybe I can show him what his selfish behavior does to people. Had he
learned that lesson earlier, maybe he wouldn't be thanking the people who literally saved his life by treating them
like shit.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:14PM
You're right! He kept me around because I was a carbon copy of you, but with more easily managed insecurities. For a while, at least.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:16PM
Oh and you are the picture of perfect manners? Why not focus on yourself instead of him?
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:16PM
Yep you are a sad old bad version of me
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:16PM
And look where it got you. Nowhere fighting someone so you can force yourself into his life
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:17PM
Bravo
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:17PM
You are directing so much anger at me. You should be reserving that to replenish your own well of self worth.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:17PM
I am because you are going out of your way to make the situation worse
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:18PM
And i would have expected more adult behavior from you
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:18PM
I mean you are in your 50s
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:18PM
So good night and goodbye Quintin. I refuse to engage any more. You are nothing to me. Nothing to Steven. Never will be. Stop being a victim and move on.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:19PM
I take it you aren't that happy with the version of you he chose over you. I can understand that. I
don't care about you, Rory. Not about you, and not about what you think of me. I've felt sorry for you, sure. Ever
since the day back in January when I came to Yakima and shacked up in the hotel with your man. I didn't know it at
the time, of course, but I felt bad after he finally admitted to me that you existed in the way that you used to.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:22PM
He didn't chose you over me sweetie. You never had him.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:22PM
Best if luck, Rory. You're going to need it.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:22PM
Everyone feels sorry for you Quintin. Oh actually I don't think they feel any way about you.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:23PM
You certainly feel something about me, Rory.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:23PM
As did Steven.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:23PM
Ok Quintin you knew him for 3 months and are an expert on him and me and our relationship.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:24PM
Doesn't take 13 years of observation to recognize a train wreck
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:24PM
Yeah he felt sorry for you. That you were so scared of everything. And I feel like you are a psychotic weirdo who had no friends and lies constantly.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:24PM
Yeah just look at yourself in the mirror. Train wreck all day long.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:25PM
You are welcome to your unimportant opinion, little man. I care not.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:25PM
You are so pathetic. You are forcing yourself into the life of someone who doesn't care about you
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:25PM
I'm able to recognize my shortcomings.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:26PM
Well it's not just my opinion. Everyone I have met that has met you basically feels the same
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:26PM
Well I hope so there are so many of them
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:26PM
Let's not throw around words like "pathetic", sugar, or this might get rude
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:27PM
I don't need to stalk a guy to get attention
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:27PM
Don't you, though?
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:27PM
Who am I stalking?
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:27PM
Call me next time you can't figure out how to keep your meal ticket alive, boo. I might consider answering.
Quintin • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:28PM
Go home and make a dinner for one out of the freezer smoke your meth try unsuccessfully to get hookers to come over and be the sad old man you are
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:28PM
My meal ticket. Ok. Once again you don't know shit. But keep thinking you do. It makes you feel important when in truth you aren't. To anyone.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:29PM
But you know all about being a meal ticket that's why you buy people's affection.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:30PM
When it comes down too it you are an old not hot pathetic scared crap version of me. And you never had him. You had his dick. Wow. Join the million others who have too.
Rory • Wed Sep 11, 2019 - 9:32PM
If you wake up, you had better have apology on your mind.
Quintin • Sep 11, 2019 - 5:53 PM
Failed at death by the easiest way out. Fucking loser.
Quintin • Sep 11, 2019 - 6:05 PM
Hey, Pal. You mention my mother again, and your pretty, cock-sucking mouth is going to be emptied of what fucking brittle ass teeth you have left, you worthless fucking tweaker. I'll wear those ten yellow pearls as a necklace to remind me how fucking lucky I am to have been spared a life lived in your toxic fucking shadow.
Quintin • Sep 11, 2019 - 7:31 PM
Go fuck off and run what's left of your worthless fucking life the rest of the way into the goddamned gutter where you belong, trash.

RE: Thanks for Booking
Is there parking available, or should I have my driver leave and come back after our appointment? Also, I have a latex allergy. If my skin comes into contact with latex gloves or other products, I have a rather painful and unattractive rash that appears anywhere it comes into contact with me. Will that present any problems or limit the special options available under the Heaux membership? -Pete

RE: Thanks for Booking!
Thank you for your inquiry and interest. The Chateau de Heaux is actually an apartment. Mine to be precise. On maps when I put in my actual address it will direct you to about a block away. However, I am a very outgoing, non-descrimative gay man. Who is always open to meet new people. The website and location on maps was a friend of mine and it got accepted by maps and Google so I just left it. No to answer your question, it is not a licenced business. If these things are okay with you, I will honor your appointment and give you a massage nude or clothed. No charge, no membership fee or anything. If you feel like tipping who am I to stop you. Haha.
Thank you.
Holden C.
Chateau De Heaux
Like I said in my earlier email, I sensed last night that you might be in a really bad spot on the withdrawals front. While I didn't know the circumstances, my gut told me you were in need somehow, and my impulse was to try to help you through it. You have done that mercy for me on more than one occasion, and just because we may be at odds over the things that tore us apart (your ex, I now realize, being a major contributor to that on many levels), I still can't stand by and do nothing to help a fellow human being through one of the worst come downs I have personally endured more than a few times without anyone offering help. I know that agony, and I don't wish it on you. If you don't want to accept the help, that's fine. I'll respect that. Just know that the offer stands.
Quintin • 1:58 PM - Fri Sep 27, 2019
You still have your other job though, right? At The Outlook?
Quintin • 9:29 PM - Fri Sep 27, 2019
So I double checked and I don't believe that you are blocked still
Steven • 9:04 AM - Sat Sep 28, 2019
That message just came through
Quintin • 9:05 AM - Mat Sep 28, 2019
Sorry if you are asleep, though if memory serves, this shouldn't put a dent in your sleep. Just checking to see if I'm making it through the blockade now.
Quintin • 3:14 AM - Mon Sep 30, 2019
You're not blocked.
Steven • 10:26 AM - Mon Sep 30, 2019
Ok. Thank you for the confirmation. Hope things are going better. Any word on the job at Amazon?
Quintin • 10:48 AM - Mon Sep 30, 2019
Didn't go to the interview, they drug test on the spot.
Steven • 11:02 AM - Mon Sep 30, 2019
But I think I managed to get on at the Capitol Hill Shari's
Steven • 11:02 AM - Mon Sep 30, 2019
Shit. And great! If nothing else, it's potentially better money and a thumb to the nose for your former dickhead boss.
Quintin • 11:04 AM - Mon Sep 30, 2019
What did you send?
Steven • 7:13 PM - Mon Sep 30, 2019
Just an early birthday present.
Quintin • 7:13 PM - Mon Sep 30, 2019
I'm guessing it wasn't what you wanted? 😟 Admittedly, it was designed and ordered before civility was restored, so I apologize if it came off hurtful or something.
Quintin • 9:14 PM - Mon Sep 30, 2019
I haven't seen it yet. I'm just getting off of work in Seattle. Been sick for a few days, think it's getting worse
Steven • 9:16 PM - Mon Sep 30, 2019
Waiting for the bus and am freezing my ass off
Steven • 9:16 PM - Mon Sep 30, 2019
I'm wearing a coat and pants and a beanie
Steven • 9:17 PM - Mon Sep 30, 2019
Oh, sorry. Guess my habit of filling in the silence hasn't changed much.
Quintin • 9:17 PM - Mon Sep 30, 2019
Haha
Steven • 9:17 PM - Mon Sep 30, 2019
Now I'm even more curious
Steven • 9:17 PM - Mon Sep 30, 2019
Where are the rest of your clothes?
Quintin • 9:18 PM - Mon Sep 30, 2019
Haha, I have all the rest on too
Steven • 9:18 PM - Mon Sep 30, 2019
I was just illustrating the fact I'm fully clothed and still freezing
Steven • 9:19 PM - Mon Sep 30, 2019
Oh. I was highly suspicious of this job you just left. The uniform sounded inadequate for the weather
Quintin • 9:19 PM - Mon Sep 30, 2019
Do you have any Zycam? You should be taking it right now before anything can set in full force. I've been taking it twice a day for the last 4 days
Quintin • 9:20 PM - Mon Sep 30, 2019
On second thought, I kinda don't want you to open that package. You can send it back if you want. But I wouldn't want to have my upcoming birthday marred by words I'd said in a different time and place. It's mean, and I don't want to be mean to you for the sake of satisfying my own hurt feelings. I'm sorry.
Quintin • 9:36 PM - Mon Sep 30, 2019
It's not the person I want to walk away from this being.
Quintin • 9:36 PM - Mon Sep 30, 2019
So, about that Zycam...

OCTOBER 2019
And Then There Was Fuckboy
Hey. Personal stuff aside. Have you heard anything about Antoine recently?! His mom just answered his text message saying she had been trying to reach all of his friends, and when I asked if he was ok, she said no and won't say anything else.
Quintin • 12:43 AM - Tue Oct 01, 2019
The last time he and I talked, he said that Jose had been over and used all his credit cards while he slept, and gotten into his phone and all his accounts.
Quintin • 12:47 AM - Tue Oct 01, 2019

5th Day without any food. Do you not have any part of the loan repayment available? I almost fainted walking up the hill from work. Not sure I can last until Thursday night without a meal.
Quintin • 12:24 AM - Tue Oct 15, 2019
Day 6, and I'm beginning to get the hang of starvation. Admittedly there have been times when the plump haunch of Moriarty's succulent rump roast looks more enticing than one would like to admit, but already I've had to add two new sets of holes to my belt in order to keep my pants from falling to my ankles while I stand at my desk at work and smell the delicious aroma of some asshole's freshly baked cinnamon roll wafting over the cubicle wall. Again, I can't thank you enough for your steadfast support through this trying time. I know you would repay even the smallest portion of the $50 I lent to you if you were inclined to do so, and it's that thought that I cling to as my abdomen cramps with hunger. You're a hell of a guy, Steven.
Quintin • 12:31 PM - Tue Oct 15, 2019
Here comes the true test of stamina. Are there enough calories from my own fat reserves available to provide me the energy needed to walk home at an incline of 194 feet between work and home? We shall see! If I faint and roll into oncoming traffic, please ask someone who cares to adopt my poor cats. I have no friends or family to will them to.
Quintin • 5:19 PM - Mue Oct 15, 2019
Huzzah! In a cruel yet blessedly timely ironic twist, it dawned on me that I carry a City-funded Orca card that gives me the full range of Sound Transit, Pierce Transit, and King County Metro at no cost to me! I can travel just about anywhere in the area free, but I can't afford a package of Top Ramen to curb my ferocious hunger for even a moment. If that's not the Universe reminding me that no good deed goes unpunished, then my name's not Quintin Thick Dick Kelly.
Quintin • 5:33 PM - Mue Oct 15, 2019
I hadn't anticipated celebrating the first day off probation at work sucking on ice cubes and licking the few stray packets of Fun-Dip that you left here the last time we played together. But I'm still very grateful to you for having left that here so that I would have something sweet to accompany my celebratory ice cubes! You're the best. What did I do to deserve someone as caring, thoughtful, and forgiving as you in my life? Thank you.
Quintin • 5:54 PM - Mue Oct 15, 2019
I wonder if Gandhi hallucinated after only 6 days without food.
Quintin • 1:58 PM - Med Oct 16, 2019
Is it 6? 7. I think it's been 7 now. At least that's what the Hump Day 🐪 is telling me.
Quintin • 2:54 PM - Med Oct 16, 2019
Stop texting me
Steven • 3:01 PM - Wed Oct 16, 2019
I will. I just need to make sure you are aware of the impact you're having on my life in the way of starvation, which I'm sure you would remedy by way of an incremental repayment if you were truly concerned about people understanding other people's situations and being sensitive to them in the way you said I was not.
Quintin • 3:58 PM - Med Oct 16, 2019
I have precisely, $0.82 on hand and -$214.44 in the bank.
Steven • 4:05 PM - Wed Oct 16, 2019
I have been walking around to put in resumes and fill out applications.
Steven • 4:06 PM - Wed Oct 16, 2019
I also went to the food bank. You can do that as well. And can't you run a tab at Stir?
Steven • 4:06 PM - Wed Oct 16, 2019
You make more then I did before.
Steven • 4:06 PM - Wed Oct 16, 2019
So I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for you in this situation. And I will get you back your money the moment I have the ability to do so.
Steven • 4:07 PM - Wed Oct 16, 2019
That's the problem. I make too much to be eligible for any assistance with food. And it's a temporary low spot that should be resolved by the deposit of my paycheck tomorrow evening.
Quintin • 4:08 PM - Med Oct 16, 2019
But before you try and lay a guilt trip on someone, maybe look at your own decisions on your money and maybe you wouldn't be in said situation
Steven • 4:08 PM - Wed Oct 16, 2019
So until I send you your money I don't really see a reason for correspondence between us
Steven • 4:09 PM - Wed Oct 16, 2019
Agreed. Financially I own the responsibility for getting myself here. Your apathy toward me, however, I find misplaced and unnecessary. If anything, given my ongoing willingness to help whenever I can, I would think you might be a little less prone to being so mean. A little comiseration goes a long way, and a few words of explanation now and then cost nothing. I wish you could see your way to feeling less attacked by me, but I'm apparently overdrawn in the wish bank, too.
Quintin • 4:12 PM - Med Oct 16, 2019
You can keep the $50. It has never been about the money. I only cared about trying to salvage some shred of civility between us. You clearly aren't interested in that goal. So, I'll grant you your wish to be free of me. I'm sorry you feel the way you do, and I regret not being able to change that.
Quintin • 4:15 PM - Med Oct 16, 2019
If you ever change your mind and decide that maybe I'm actually not the bad guy you think I am, you know how to reach me.
Quintin • 4:15 PM - Med Oct 16, 2019
Do you honestly never just miss me? Like, all bullshit aside, think of me fondly?
Quintin • 6:15 PM - Mon Oct 17, 2019
I don't hate you or think of of you in a negative way. I think of you as someone who thinks of me in a way that is, for lack of better wordage, not right. And that is, as has been more then once, a recipe for disaster. I can't foresee any way that our remaining friends could be beneficial to either of us.
Steven • 6:47 PM - Thu Oct 17, 2019
Now, with the most respect, please stop texting me. I will return your money as soon as is possible. I will not be returning any further texts nor phone calls. I wish you nothing but the best. Your check should be there soon. Eat, drink, and be happy. Goodbye.
Steven • 6:47 PM - Thu Oct 17, 2019
I am eating now. My check did, in fact, come through. It doesn't in the least change for me the sense of loss I feel from losing you. As I said last night, I don't expect you to repay me the $50. I want you to use it as it was intended, to help you through a bad time. It's regrettable that you see us the way you do, and I will spend no small amount of time fretting over it. I love the Steven who I know used to also love me back, and I can't undo that. There's one last birthday present en route to you, and I beg you not to throw it away. Just as your gifted painting still hangs unpunishished in my kitchen, I hope that you might recognize the amount of love, time, and energy that went into its creation. It deserves a better fate than the landfill. Even if its dollar value is less than a buck. Know that my door is still open to you, Steven. I haven't given up hope that perhaps someday, you might remember what being loved by me wasn't actually as terrible a thing as you now make it out to be.
Quintin • 7:09 PM - Mon Oct 17, 2019
Happy Birthday.

I know you're done talking to me, and I'm not trying to get anything from you or anything like that. I just wanted to make sure you got your birthday gift that I left on your front step. It's been a couple days. If you didn't like it or threw it away, it's ok. I mean, ouch, but I get it.

He's cute. I hope it works out for you.

And if you didn't like the gift, I'll happily take it back. It's a one of a kind single edition that cost me a pretty penny to have printed and bound. So if you don't want it, please don't throw it away.

Oh, ok. Back to his place on S 30th Ave. No, that's totally cool. I get it.

Don't worry. I'm not going to show up at your apartment all unannounced. Well, I mean, except for that one time when I left you a very dear gift upon your step. Otherwise, please! Continue to form relationships with whomever you deem worthy of the "I want to be alone!" status as you like! Good for you, finding someone who is better than me in all ways! I don't blame you.
