Dear Aaron Page 39
AHall80: I’ve done worse with girls I did mind spending time with.
AHall80: And here I am
RubyMars: Yeah, I’m sure.
RubyMars: I’m still going to finish my dating profile though. Why not?
RubyMars: “and here you are,” damn it, Aaron. You’re just picking the wrong ones is all.
AHall80: Good girl
AHall80: I never said I was picking good ones, more like “good for now.”
RubyMars: “Good for now”
RubyMars: ….
RubyMars: All I’m going to say is, maybe you just need to find the right girl. Not at a bar.
RubyMars: Maybe she’s waiting for you at a church or a shelter.
AHall80: You’re a pain in the ass, Ru
RubyMars: Yeah, you don’t like that idea so much when someone turns it around on you, huh?
AHall80: …..
AHall80: How’s your little sister?
RubyMars: Fine, we’ll change the subject.
RubyMars: She’s being a pain in the butt. She still hasn’t gone to the rink. I don’t know what to do.
AHall80: Drag her.
RubyMars: She’s bigger than I am, and stronger.
AHall80: How tall are you? I looked up a video of her and she looks small.
RubyMars: You did?
RubyMars: I’m five one. She’s five three.
RubyMars: She’s freakishly strong, don’t let her deceive you.
AHall80: You can take her
AHall80: Why didn’t I know you were short?
RubyMars: Honestly, I’m scared of her. You just have to know her to get it.
RubyMars: My mom is five feet tall. It isn’t a big deal in my family. We’re all short. I don’t even think about it half the time.
AHall80: Why are you scared of her?
AHall80: Your brothers are short?
RubyMars: Because she’s a crazy person. She doesn’t care about anything right now. When things are going her way, she might give two craps in a day, max. She can be the meanest person I know on a good day. I caught her eating ice cream straight from the gallon while watching Glee. She’s relapsing.
RubyMars: One of my brothers is like five six and the other one claims he’s five eight, but he’s full of it.
AHall80: Isn’t Glee the show about the kids in choir?
RubyMars: Close enough, and yeah, that show. It’s a bad combination. It’s the beginning of the end. I know I need to do something, but no one else wants to say anything to her. They’re all letting her sulk. If it wasn’t for her going to work, I doubt she’d leave the house.
AHall80: Do something RubyMars: I will, but I’m not forcing her to the rink. Actually, I think I have an idea…
AHall80: What is it?
RubyMars: I think I’m going to make her the nicest ice-skating dress I’ve ever made, since it’s not like I’m swamped or anything. She’s a sucker for the good ones.
AHall80: Do it
RubyMars: You think so?
AHall80: Yeah
AHall80: Have you talked to your aunt, the wedding one?
RubyMars: Yes.
AHall80: What did she say?
RubyMars: I talked to her about a new dress she wanted me to start working on.
AHall80: Ruby
RubyMars: I know, I know.
AHall80: You can do it. I believe in you.
RubyMars: You’re a good friend to me, Aaron not-an-asswipe.
AHall80: I’d be a better friend to you if I got you to stand up for yourself.
AHall80: I have this feeling she doesn’t pay you as much as you deserve.
RubyMars: :) RubyMars: Probably not. I don’t look at what she charges anymore.
AHall80: Ask her for a raise at least.
RubyMars: She was just complaining about how she’s broke.
AHall80: I’m going to drop it for now, but I know you know she’s taking advantage of you.
RubyMars: I know…
AHall80: I gotta go, but think about saying something. For real.
RubyMars: I will.
AHall80: I’ll msg you soon. Bye
RubyMars: Bye, Aaron.
March 24th
AHall80: Rubes RubyMars: Hey you.
RubyMars: How is everything?
AHall80: Good. About to go play some Halo.
AHall80: Check your e-mail
RubyMars: If you sent me a chain letter…
AHall80: Just check your e-mail.
RubyMars: Okay, one second.
RubyMars: He’s so handsome!!!
AHall80: I told you you didn’t have to send Aries anything.
RubyMars: I know you said I didn’t, but you did give me your dad’s PO box, and I had leftover material. It looks perfect on him.
AHall80: Max saw him and asked if you could make three more. He has two huskies and a lab mix.
RubyMars: Of course I can.
AHall80: How much should I tell him to send you?
AHall80: You better not tell me you’ll do it for free.
RubyMars: Why?
AHall80: Why what? Why you can’t make them for free?
RubyMars: Yes.
AHall80: Because you should sell them
AHall80: And we both have jobs and you don’t.
RubyMars: ….
AHall80: :] Let him pay you. I’ll tell him $20 each, or more?
AHall80: You can say more.
RubyMars: $20? Are you crazy?
AHall80: 15
