> [@](#): > > Where will this party be, soulsling? Will Swiddles once again have to brave the NYC subway system? Can she party all night and still drive half of the 7.5 hours home the next day? Must SwimmingRiddles leave so early? Could she not brave the safe and simple transit to the third or fourth stop into Brooklyn to attend the party directly across the street from the subway station that perhaps even Wonko the Sane was thinking of joining? Can SwimmingRiddles the young and charming not endure festivities at the hour of nights most passionate moments (starts at 7, till whenever…)? ---

SO, Soul, I should go up that early in the morning just for you? Well, maybe I should, but does he realize I’m usually to tired then? Is that the only time Soul has ICQ on? ---

Does she not understand that soulsling can only finally sit down at home to relax in front of his computer at the hours 'tween 9 and midnight nyc time? Perhaps if soulsling knew better when Anniz was on he could adjust slightly to catch her on ICQ on time don’t you think? Is anyone else getting the feeling that they will have a hard time answering the next person to speak to them IRL without a question? ---

Has soul ever seen the commercial for some VW car, where the guy says “Whenever I don’t really know what someone’s talking about, I just repeat what they’ve said to me in the form of a question. ‘Oh, so I COPY the files to my hard drive?’?” Isn’t that commercial funny? Do we think that’s what Swiddle’s coworkers will think when they walk into her office and say something to her, and she only reponds in question form? ---

Does soul recall ever seeing that commercial Swiddles has mentioned and thinking to himself have I not done that myself before? Will my coworkers believe soulsling really finally needs a vacation? ---

How did you know I was thinking of the same commercial? Do I have to check the other thread to find out about Soul’s party? Is it wise of me to even think of it if I have to catch a bus at Port Authority at 9 in the morning? ---

Would everyone excuse soulsling while he leaves work to go have lunch with his boss? Would everyone please hold a memorial for me if I don’t return tomorrow? ---

Hey soul: if you get back from lunch alive, have you given Wonko the info for the party? Can you guess that Swiddles’ attendance will be dependant on how tired, tired, tired she is? ---
