Conversations With Steve, Vol. 2

I should probably be more socially-conscious and write something about all the "Day Without an (Illegal) Immigrant" protests. But I'm not going to. You can read all about it on... well, pretty much everywhere. Have fun.

I will, however, share an IM conversation I had with my friend Steve today. Why? Because I can. And because it saves me having to be creative and come up with an interesting or socially-conscious post.

(Oddly enough, puke features as a topic of conversation once again, just as it did the last time I posted a Steve conversation--a conversation which, I might add, tells one of the funniest stories I've ever heard.)

If you don't like the word "vomit," you shouldn't read this post.


steve: so whats new with you?

grackyfrogg: just working a lot
grackyfrogg: today is slow though, which is a nice change from last week
grackyfrogg: my eyes felt like they wanted to fall out of my head! [NB: I'm a full-time proofreader. Fun Fun.]
grackyfrogg: i am still taking piano, which is great
grackyfrogg: i am going to be in a recital on sunday

steve: coolio

grackyfrogg: with other students... probably mostly littluns

steve: is it in front of a lot of people?

grackyfrogg: nah... i dont think so

steve: i hated those, i pretty much always screwed up

grackyfrogg: oh i know i will too
grackyfrog: but it's pretty low-pressure... i mean it's not like a competition or anything!

steve: oh, well the pressure for me was mr. "smell like vomit" piano teacher coming down hard on me at my next lesson for making him look like a loser teacher by screwing up my left hand arpeggio at his recital

grackyfrogg: really???
grackyfrogg: he smelled like vomit?????

steve: oh totally

grackyfrogg: eew
grackyfrogg: weird

steve: i know
steve: i never figured out why

grackyfrogg: maybe he vomited a lot
grackyfrogg: maybe he was bulimic

steve: maybe he was a 60 year old male bulemic

grackyfrogg: maybe he had a pet chihuaha that threw up alot
grackyfrogg: on his lap
grackyfrogg: i am glad my teacher does not smell like vomit

steve: im glad that NO ONE i know smells like vomit actually

grackyfrogg: LOL

steve: my first piano teacher was a charismatic black activist, luckily she didnt smell like vomit though

grackyfrogg: i didnt even know you TOOK piano lessons

steve: oh yeah for like 10 years

grackyfrogg: what!!

steve: maybe 8

grackyfrogg: you should be pretty good then!
grackyfrogg: i've never heard you play!!!
grackyfrogg: wait, is this really steve balsiger? who am i talking to???

steve: no this is timothy Fruegenhaus

grackyfrogg: LOL
grackyfrogg: excellent

steve: well i stopped lessons in like 10th grade so i never really got all that advanced
steve: but at the end i was doing some fairly hard stuff, but its been so long

grackyfrogg: wow. well it's nice to know there is always something new to learn about your friends! [NB: Even after 15+ years!]

steve: wow, i thought that after i shared with you about the time i spent in prison that that pretty much covered everything about me

grackyfrogg: LOL

steve: i guess i left the piano part out

grackyfrogg: i so want to just post this conversation to my blog

steve: see, look how much time ive saved you, may 1 blog creation: Done!

Good new posts! Thanks for the post on my blog. If you have a minute, questions were raised "who cares?, and why?" about illegal immigrants cutting in line in front of those following the process. I thought you might have some good insight.

Can anyone come to the concert?
I want to come.
Is it rude to invite myself?
