The Ego
I like to talk to people at night, even if it's only for a few minutes. It's the time when I'm alone (well my bro does sleep in the same room but his sofa bed is only slightly higher than the floor when it opens up, plus when he's sleeping it counts as me being alone) and not doing anything and I'm usually in an introspective mood. Usually, I like to talk to someone when I'm lying on the bed ... it's comfy and all the lights are off; the only thing I can see as such are the glow-in-the-dark stars I've stuck on my ceiling. Peaceful really. And so silent.

Lately ... there's been a problem with this quirk of mine.

I have no one to talk to.

Don't get me wrong, I have my friends. But...
I don't talk to Jo at night...I just don't; we talk in the day. Plus she's usually knackered (read: tired) after a long day at work and if she had college that day, she's zonked anyway. And sometimes she doesn't answer the phone...actually most of the time ... and she hardly ever replies to my sms's anyway, so those are useless :P So I've given up calling or sms'ing at night anyway. Basically, Jo is not my night person.
Kazz...well, it's been a long time since we spoke at night. Sometimes if I'm REALLY REALLY lonely I do call him, but it's my luck if he's not busy, or if he even answers my call, or if I actually have credit. This is a rare occurrence nowadays and I think I've made my peace with it. Not many sms's now either. Again, a rare thing to happen. It's not that we don't talk ... just not this way anymore...
Fud ... we don't talk as much now anyway. And not at night. I don't sms much either, and neither does she. So that's another friend down for the night.
Stained... can't call him at night, and he used to sms me a lot (read: a year or two ago)... but it's lessened considerably now, and sms's at night are not so common either.

(When I say sms's, I mean the type which begs the other person to respond, not the ones like, "I bought 25 books today. Bye" or "I was driving to Timbuctoo so I didn't answer. Talk to you tomorrow" ... and when I actually respond to ask what books or why he/she was going to Timbuctoo, I get no reply.)

So I'm stuck.

Who wants to be my night buddy?

Note: Applicants note you will have to start work anytime between 10:30pm and midnight; calls can last between 5 minutes to 60. Even sms's will do (it is mandatory to reply to my sms) if you have no money or if I don't have any, to make calls. Apply at your own risk.

    Let me know if no one applies :D I'm a lil concerned bout the duration of the call though...but I think it should be alright. I'm pretty sure that eventually it won't even last 5 mins and soon enough you'll be looking for a night buddy all over again :D Still wanna give it a shot?..let me know!

    Erm you live in another country? I think that's a problem!

    So your application is rejected :P

    How would that matter if I was making the call?


  4. D Says:

    Coz it's not fair to ask you to spend money on my loony night ravings???
    If you were in Dubai, sure I wouldn't feel bad about you spending a few dirhams by calling on my cell... BUT DUDE... NC and Dubai ... nope.

    Application rejected!!!

    PS - Thank you anyway :)
