h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I did a bit of a lurk with the Stealth Kam thread. I would like to help but I feel like I would be intruding. Can an old soul help carry a troubled young one?

I think he's alright. He's just gone through a bad patch like I do. Only difference is that I seem to have a better hold on what I vomit out onto everyone else than he (or anyone else come to that) does. Bless him. I'm not sure anything anyone could say would really do much - except alter his perception a little. The thing is, most suicidal thoughts come right before eveything brightens up again. So I think he will be Ok. I hope anyway.

First time that's ever happened to me. I had a bad flash that one day something could happen to you and I would be thousands of miles away. Scary.

Ok. I'm not following now. I feel a bit more now. But I'm not sure how that links in with the above post.

I read his thread from the beginning when he was sounding suicidal. I felt helpless being far away in both space and time. Wondered how I would feel if you told me there was a fire there or something.

Ah.

Is that supposed to make me feel all warm and fuzzy then?

No, it just never occured to me.

I'm so glad I don't tell you everything!!

Oh, now you have to tell me your biggest secret! Rules of Engagement, Marquis of Queensbury.

I have no secrets. Just things about everyday life I don't tell you because I find that they are unsettling to other people.

If you are talking about the scars you said you have, I wish I had been around you then. Come to think of it I wish you had been around me the last time I had troubles like that. Of course, you would have been 8!

Might not have been so fun back then...

Scars - not particularly bothered by them. It's all the underlying things I have to deal with. Particularly to do with my parents. But that kind of thing brings up issues that might cast dodgy shadows on things between us, and I don't want to touch on anything that will spoil anything. If tht makes sense.

I'm here and that's all that matters.

Gottcha. 'Nuf said.

So when are you going to send me another email, ya little perv?

Hey. I am not a perve.

Am I?

I don't know. When I come up with something good. Recently I've been getting to sleep/getting up too quickly to come up with anything...

Well, I certainly hope you are! I am and that's why I thought we got along so well!

Work it girl! I deserve a little of your genius. I added more to the box today!

OOh. What things?

I decided that with my limited resources, I could probably stretch to making you a (very cliche of a) mixed up tape...don't know why I want to... But would you like me to? Wish I could burn you a CD, but me = technologically crippled

Can't burn you one either since the *big* computer is on set for *I Robot* now. Will buy a couple of compilations maybe.

Presently it has:

a good smelling cologne sample with a cheesy name
a Kikkoman miso soup packet
room service vouchers for Bally's Las Vegas
a Williams Lake Stampede mini-poster
a picture of Naz and me and Santa and Jenae
a xerox of my hands
my business card

Pretty lean, but that only takes up about a tenth of the space. And before you say anything about the soup packet, I will put chocolates, etc. in just before I ship it so they aren't stale.

"I Robot"?????????

So is that a yes or an evasive no? Do you want me to make you one or not? I don't have to spend the two hours or so assembling it with my naked hands y'know...

Don't forget the t-shirt!!!!!

Ah, the T shirt. Two days old and sweaty or not.... I fear it may not smell very well after a month in the post.

Of course I would love one, but I thought you couldn't?

This is the very beginnings of the list. Prepare for lots o' stuff!

Wrap the t-shirt in clingfilm (whats the yank term? seran wrap?) and then the air won't get in as easy.

I can't burn you a CD (which is more conveninet) but I can make you a tape. You know. Cassette thingys. Like in the olden days...

Ooh. Stuff. How I love stuff. I'm enjoying being spoilt like this.
