This is my first new year's day, now that I think about it. People make resolutions around this time of year, right? What are yours?

Awesome.

So does this mean one of my resolutions now is something like dancing with you?

Text

[alephbet]

If you want it to be.

Text

[technologic]

Well, dancing is good exercise and doing it with someone else will encourage me not to chicken out on it.

Text

[alephbet]

I would be happy to keep you motivated on your resolutions. However I can help.

Text

[technologic]

Thank you, Aleph. And it's the same back to you.

[There's a pause before another message follows.]

And I think I've managed to think up another resolution too.

Text

[alephbet]

What is it?

Text

[technologic]

It's not exactly a cheery one though, now that I think about.

[Another pause, this one longer than before.]

It's to finally talk to someone, about some stuff that's been bugging me for years.

Text

[alephbet]

I think that's a good resolution. It'll help you come to terms with it if you talk about it.

...Maybe I should make that one too.

Text

[technologic]

So, we both should try to open up to someone about something?

Text

[alephbet]

It sounds like a good idea.

Text

[technologic]

Okay.

... And if you need any help with that too, I'll do my best to help.

Text

[alephbet]

I'll remember that. I don't mind opening up to you.

Text

[technologic]

[Cue an even longer pause.]

Thank you, Aleph. And it's the same back to you too.

Text

[alephbet]

[what is going on behind the curtain]

I'm glad to hear it.

Text

[technologic]

[A lot of confusion, because what is kinda admitting that you trust someone.]

Though that means I'll probably be more likely to tell you stupid drunk stories, so I apologize in advance for that. [And of course she has to lighten the mood a bit now.]

Text

[alephbet]

I have a few of those myself... If you want to hear them.

Text

[technologic]

Sure, we can trade stories!

Text

[alephbet]

It sounds like fun.

Text

[technologic]

Awesome! I used to do this back home, and it was always a good laugh.

Text

[alephbet]

Maybe that's what I should ask the network now.

Text

[technologic]

You mean like ask them about their drunk or funny stories?

Text

[alephbet]

It's an idea for the next time I want to talk to them.

Text

[technologic]

Sounds like a good idea. It's nice to have something not serious to talk about every so often on here.

Text

[alephbet]

I hope this month is a lot better than the last few.

Text

[technologic]

Well, it shouldn't be Jason or Ruana this time. That means it should be a tiny bit better.

And hey, the heating is back on at least, so that's good.
