You aren't indeed; you have a fellow with a similarly messed up sleeping schedule here.

[XADRIAN VAN BAROS]

You know that feeling when you have tons of unpleasant stuff to do, but end up needlessly procrastinating, feeling restless and unsatisfied all the while? That. What about you, honey?

[XADRIAN VAN BAROS]

yes. i know that feeling all too well. me? i'm a little edgy
tonight. not sure why, maybe i just need to get some air.

Mhm, edgy is a lot better than what I'm feeling; wanna trade? Say yes and be a white knight in a shining armour on a white horse...and whatever other clique sounding thing you want to add. =]

Yes, I'd do it too, but it's the middle of the night and walking alone in the streets seems like a bad idea for a girl. I really should take that self defense course.

[XADRIAN VAN BAROS]

haha, i supposed i could be nice tonight and let you have
your way. so yes. pffft. who needs self defense when you
have a strong man to protect you? i got your back girl.

Chivalry is not dead then! I'll have to make sure you really are that strong, though, because I don't let just anyone defend me. Safety reasons, you understand.

...Kidding, kidding. =]

[XADRIAN VAN BAROS]

hah, i'm not worried. i'm sure you'll find me perfectly
capable of defending you.

Confident, aren't we? Some others may say cocky; not that I mind, better this than someone who pretends to be humble. What do you do for a living?

[XADRIAN VAN BAROS]

yes, i prefer the term confident. exactly. it's better to just be
who you are. if people don't like it, fuck them. that's how i see
it, anyway. i'm a writer. can't really say that i'm employed at the
moment. but hey, at least i'm making use of my trust fund. hah.
what about you?

It is. Honesty's the best policy and liars should all burn into the pits of hell. Well, not talking about the occasional small lie, everyone says those, but lying about yourself and even worse to yourself, that I don't condone. Writer! Fascinating. I studied Literature and a bunch of other subjects back in England, but I took a break from college, so to speak. And here I am.

[XADRIAN VAN BAROS]

i agree. liars aren't high on my list either. you're from england?
damn, how'd you end up here?

Born in London, lived there for a good while too, yes. I'm on a trip to explore the New Continent, find myself and all that nice jazz. You? Born and raised here in the Hamptons?

[XADRIAN VAN BAROS]

nice. so i bet you have a pretty thick accent, then? nah, i was
born in greece. my family moved here when i was little; raised
in manhattan, spent my summers in the hampton's. i didn't
move out here till i dropped out of college. had to get away
from some stuff.
