Brynna, a conversation and a link
BRYNNA: What we're doing here tonight is having a written-down conversation like we used to have when Roy would sit with what we called The Everybody Book and let us 'talk' with each other, but not as we normally do. Since each of us has to actually take over the "controlbooth" that's in Roy's head and allows us to write, anyone else taking part in the 'conversation' watches the words appear and has plenty of time to think about a response. It got pretty funny at times, and the funniest one (usually) was our Dark Angel, Hurrain. He usually could dig Roy in a way that cracked us up. Sara could be funny too. Well, I said a little while ago, I really missed that part of our life together, and you should have heard the loud agreement go through everyone.
So here's how to follow the conversation. Whoever is 'talking' is using the keyboard and will preface whatever they say with their name, like: SARA: Brynn, you had your moments! We all did. Brynna is right, though, we used to do this a lot, and it made us laugh. God knows, it is so important to laugh! Now, if you're reading this, it's after the fact, and not only that, you weren't here when we were doing this. So what we do to indicate how everyone is responding, we put the response in brackets [everyone is watching me write] like so. If I laugh or smile, same thing; Hey Roy, you paying attention? [smiles] ROY: Whut? [blank look on his face] Sara!!! SARA: And when we successfully tease someone like I just teased him, they usually react like he did: [Sara!!!] SonShon: I think it's a great way to introduce a whole bunch of us rather than wait until we really have 'something' to say. Sara and Roy always have 'something to say!" [smiles] [SonShon!!!] Oh, this is great! Whaddaya say, we let the guys in on it too? LING: No, because the next thing ya know they'll be talking about their weasels and cars or something! [laughter] [Ling!!!] Okay, then,music or something. Well, look, maybe for tonight, maybe over the next few days, but maybe we should get another blog and call it
The Everybody Book Online. For that matter, if we ever get around to it again, we should also create The Roll Book Online. [general agreement]
TERRENCE: Hasn't it been like three years since we rolled? SARA: It was on September 21, 2002. And the last time we all tripped together was when we shared those panther cap chips on Christmas night. BRYNNA: Yeah, Roy sittin' there working with the ArtGroup, idly munching them like potato chips. [laughter] What - a - surprise - after he realized he'd eaten the whole bag! [more laughter] SARA: That was a collective 'eeep!' Did you see the look on Michael Archontas' face? [laughter] MICHAEL ARCHONTAS: Well, what did you expect? Christmas night, we have the apartment to ourselves, they're knocking out pictures, the techno is on really loud because the landlord and the rest of the tenants are out, and he says, 'Uh-oh, I ate all the chips!' [laughter] Oh good Jesus God, you did what?! [loud laughter] Oh, just hang on! ROY: Well? They taste good! They'd go good with a steak! [smiles] BRYNNA: Great meal at a Chili's or Houlihans, 'Grilled Steak with Panther caps sauteed in garlic sauce!' a pause as we catch our collective breath and finish laughing] PERRY: Well, I like them because they're like an aphrodisiac! ROY: Great, just what the world needs, an incubus on an aphrodisac! [laughter] [mimicking Perry's high-pitched English voice] 'Oh do pardon the intrusion sir, I hope you re a homosexual, because I'm a gay incubus and I've got teddible wood problems!' [continuing laughter] SonShon: See? What did I tell you? They're talking about their weasels! Enough! ROY: Eeeep! Sorry! It's like a built-in Spanish Fly! SonShon: [blinking] A what? SARA: Kinda like an ancient form of Viagra made from bugs. LING: Leave it to a man to eat bugs to get wood! [laughter] JENNY: Leave it to a man to eat bugs, period! [laughter, gradually subsiding] Anyway, I'm all for doing an online version of the Everybody Book. It would be fun to carry on like this again - we've been working, working, working - time for us to chill. [general agreement] LLAM: I think that you scamps should do that as soon as possible. Roy? ROY: Hokay! LLAM: Now Brynna, you wanted to put in a hyperlink? BRYNNA: Yeah, I thought it would be cool to link to Roy's main blog. He's been writing about his ability to channel. I've been here a couple of years now and he wrote stuff that I only knew a little about. [agreement] Whadday say, Roy? And will you return the compliment? ROY: [smiling] Definitely! SonShon: [brightly] Hey, any chance of getting my forum about sexuality online? SARA: Uh, I think we wouldn't be allowed to put up the pictures you have in the word processor version. SonShon: Awwww! [smiles and laughter] Well, is that about a wrap? [agreement] BRYNNA: I hafta put in the link to Roy's blog.
Now, that's a wrap! Brynna out!
