Out of curiosity...

Has anyone else been having trouble with the voice mail system? Losing messages or anything?

Comments

Not that I've noticed, but we're on a separate system down at the boathouse.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

How would we know we were missing them if we didn't get them?

That is to say, not that I know of. Are you expecting a call?

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Hoping, not expecting.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Call whoever it is first?

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Not exactly that easy, or something I really want to go into publicly. It's probably nothing to concern myself about.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

GOD no. My mother's called me like, sixty two times this week. I'd be cheering if the voice mail was broken.

Can I get my number changed?

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Yes, but by school regulations, we'd have to give it to your parents. Price of still being a minor, buddy.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Why? They can call Mr. Summers or Ms. Munroe, not ME. God, she left me like, 4 messages today and was all "I thought you were dead, you never answer your phone, why don't you love your parents??!?"

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

You can tell them that you have laryngitis?

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Healing factor. I don't get sick. And she KNOWS this. Someone ratted me out the last time I tried it. Probably Czarina Voight down in the infirmary.

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

Temporary hearing loss? Tell 'em you pestered me too much one day.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

That only works once. :( I just have to suck it up, I guess.

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

Guess so. Could be worse, they could live here.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Or you know, live in the same city. Or state. Or time zone.

Okay, mostly just my mom. My dad's not too bad. At least he's not like "Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhy don't you calllllllllllllll?"

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

Like Mark's mom in RENT?

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

That'd totally be my mom. Except I do call.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

... I have no idea what that is? Was she really whiny?

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

I figured your mom would be more like Roger's mom. "Roger honey, I don't get these postcards."

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

Check the server, Voicemail #1.

[x-rictor.livejournal.com]

At least you don't have your parent threatening to hire someone to come beat you if you screw up.

My father can't enter this country legally and he still finds ways to threaten me.

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Never mind. I had to explain to him that no, I could not kick your ass for him if the need arose. This whole no corporal-punishment thing.

I did however offer to throw you in the lake.

[x-rictor.livejournal.com]

Thanks. That helps so much....

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Oh, come on. Rite of passage around here, and I haven't thrown anyone in the lake for ages... although I doubt I could do it one-handed. I think you're safe for now.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

... You're shitting us, right? He'd have someone... thE FUCK HE WOULD. NO BEATING. NO.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

... Dude, how'd you get my mom on mp3?

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

Ten years ago she was on Broadway. True story, I swear!

[x-rictor.livejournal.com]

In all honesty, he's a lot of talk. I would really have to deserve it. It's a lot of trouble to arrange that.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

He does realize that we're not actually, um, non-formidable around there, si?

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Precisely. Not to mention that to actually get in here now would take an inside job. The secret to building the better mousetrap is to get the oldest mice as consultants.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

It's a lot more trouble to have to go through everyone here to get ahold of you. The teachers have this crazy thing about people coming and beating up on people here. It's a thing, wacky, I know.

[x-rictor.livejournal.com]

My father sells guns to scary people for a living. His sense of formidable broke somewhere in there.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Guns aren't scary.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Horribly primitive and gauche.

[x-rictor.livejournal.com]

Next time he uses that on me I will laugh. And laugh.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

I bet we could totally just explain to him that we have people here who can get shot and not DIE or like melt guns and he'd be like "Aw, crap." .. or .. I guess "Awo el crapo.."

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

And silly.

[x-rictor.livejournal.com]

....what can I do to ensure that you never do that again?

[x-rictor.livejournal.com]

Unless you're a .50 Barrett anti-materiel rifle. Can take out a vehicle's engine block from a mile away.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

Don't take it as rude that I'm dropping this line of conversation right now. It's not a place I like my brain to go.

[x-rictor.livejournal.com]

Not at all.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

So can I.

[x-rictor.livejournal.com]

Which is why you are cool.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

You just like me for my chiles relleno.

[x-rictor.livejournal.com]

That too.
