aw yeah, that would've been sweet! kinda good that i didn't though, since being a doctor gives the rest of you a reason to keep me around. what did you want to do as a kid? did you always dream of being a badass?
ah yeah, i doubt he could handle you. he's cute, though. he's got a certain Hozier kinda charm. anyone else catch your eye?
fuck yeah i do! we should have a station movie night.
if you were the bodega guy or video store guy I'd still have you on speed dial, promise. hah, flattery will get you everywhere. in serious I wanted to be a transformer BUT ALSO the construction worker that got to 'ride' the jackhammer as young me saw it.
L O L I'd eat him alive for sure. it is a Hozier vibe, good eye. like four or five Summit membershow are they all so hot?? trying not to, honestly, as relationships just seem to either get me in trouble or I end up sinking years into them with no real return investment. you?
you're a fucking genius and that's entirely separate from your brilliant dr brain fyi. just do a nicholas cage fest, to start.
aw, thanks dude. i would've hooked you up with the good shit. bet we can find you a jackhammer. who's going to stop us now? we could even drive a forklift if we wanted to.
yeah, i feel that. the reason i was doing a stint in seattle when the shit hit the fan is 'cause of a long-term thing not working out. i'm probably just not meant for relationships, to be honest. i can still appreciate all the hotties, though. from afar.
ooooh, now we're talking! i got like, all of his. we could do a marathon!
I feel Seen 🥰 if we can find a jackhammer you bet your ass I'm destroying some perfectly good asphalt or concrete work! a forklift would be a good second place prize...
you're not the only one, bud. hell, all of prescott got to see the end of my second marriage to Arlo go down in flames, so at least I've got you beat there. because OBVIOUSLY this is a competition of who is worse at relationships. god, there's so many hotties. like what are the odds??
so excited I just fist pumped over the thought of this.
one time when i was a teen, we stole a mini excavator and dug a really big hole just for kicks. highly recommend.
well, if it's any consolation, i don't think anyone here judges. people in our line of work are kinda shit to date. irregular hours. nights. weekends. holidays. all ruined. i think i've fucked up every relationship i've ever been in. not 'cause i didn't love them. i was just a shitty partner. not that i'm saying either of you were shitty partners, just that divorce is common in first responders.
it's a good thing we know the difference between correlation and causation or it'd be easy to think being a hottie increases your survival odds.
we'll see if anyone else joins us. this is a test. i'm testing their taste.
omg I'm so jealous but also cinches you as my hero, now
...you know I never really thought of it that way, so could especially see how throwing a paramedic and a firefighter on opposite schedules wouldn't work out. and no, we were both shitty partners and didn't do the basic stuff like communicate. I feel bad treating you like a therapist instead of a friend, but also thanks for letting me blab about this shit, niko.
fuck, could you imagine if we didn't even have eye candy????
this isn't just a test, it's the most important test any of them have ever taken and they don't even know it.
when the school kept trying to ask everyone what happened to the outfield, we kept insisting it was aliens. we never got caught. we were lil shitheads, though.
yeah, anytime. i mean, i told you some of my shit, too. we're kind of in the same boat. we can talk it out, anytime. that's what friends do. i like you both though, and really, the job does not make any of this shit easy on anyone.
maybe we're all just desperate because we've been running on no sleep for years. it's like when a deserted island guy sees a big rock and thinks it's a thanksgiving turkey. our minds are going.
i don't judge anything else, but i will judge this.
no offense to older you who is very cool, but younger you sounded like a straight hooligan and I'm almost sad to have never met him, lol
right back at you, if you ever need to talk about stuff that isn't what's the most recent pop culture reference that popped into our head, bro. glad to have you on my side. [...] he's not so bad if you're not trying to force him to have a serious conversation, yeah.
oh I know I'm desperate, that's why I'm trying to avoid doing anything stupid. fingers fucking crossed. is it bad that I'm alright with losing my mind if it means thinking I'm surrounded by hotties?
what, being a guy whose job it is is to tell everyone to eat their vitamins isn't being enough of a hooligan for you??? (i'm kidding, i'm kidding)
yeah, of course. if you ever want to hear about all my fuck-ups so that you can see yours aren't that bad in comparison, that's what i'm here for. and yeah, i both get why it's frustrating to deal with while also being the guy constantly cracking jokes to avoid confronting my own mortality. it's annoying as shit to everyone else around you, but kinda hard to stop.
nah, i think it's a great coping mechanism. you oughta go make out with a few of them, it could be a fun distraction.
if they hate on nic cage, i'm fucking off into the woods and never coming back.
we'd all have scurvy without you, don't even pretend otherwise.
maybe next time one of us is feeling like a sad sack we can exchange war stories from our days in relationships? if cracking jokes because it's easier than crying or processing something is wrong, then I don't want to be right. now I've found out what REALLY spooks you.
I have one or two in mind that I may reach out to with the old 'sup :)' so fingers crossed.
no for serious I'd join you if they try to pull that bullshit
