kitty cat

Boy, he's a literal fistful! I've always wanted to meet a kitten. I bet we'd hit it off!

Mal says I looked like one of these things when Henry first left. Don't know what she meant by that!

welcome back, my friend! i hope your trip went well, and i see that you've reunited with an old friend! best wishes!

Hello! Thank you for your well wishes! The trip was, well, as smooth as it could be, but we're all in one piece! And yes! He's more than a friend now, ha! Ha! Wahoo!

aw, stop it, you big sap & best wishes to you as well!

heya, william! quick question about how the abime works:

i've heard it's good to record stuff about yourself before entering the abime – having people write down how they see you and stuff. what happens if those things aren't true? could you leave things you don't like about yourself behind, or give yourself new skills?

My guess is you can leave things ya don't like, sure! I'd wager for the second, you'd believe you had these new skills, but not have the skills to prove it! Sure, I could say I played the flute, but I wouldn't have the slightest idea where to put my fingers!

Wish Henry were here. He'd know more about this -- the fella went through this himself!

Can't rightly see our "Inbox" either. Ack! Ain't got a clue what's goin' on. We'll sort it out in a jiffy, promise!

Huh, looks like our wires've gotten a li'l' jammed! Things ain't workin' like they're supposed to on this "Site." Apologies for the inconvenience! We'll try and sort it out.

Where did you come from?

What do you hope to accomplish?

Findin' out the first's part of my answer to the second!

Whys your profile glitchin so bad 4 me 😨😨😨

my fault sor ry

Aw, it's all right, handsome! Worth it for your presence here.

you re ally thi nk so?

Darlin', I know.

Second day of these memory logs. Today, Henry asked me my favorite memory. And I said I’m at this dance hall in Harlem, right? Maybe mid-twenties. Maybe the night of January 7th 1925. It’s hard to really cast my mind back that far, you know? It’s all some kinda mishmash, memories existing at the same time. Or maybe I’ve just got a real crappy memory. Well, I’m standing in a corner — must not be a huge one for parties, or maybe I knew I was a bit queer — and I remember everything glowing all golden-like. High ceilings, all decked out. It’s a gas. Dancers all crowding the floor, a man spinning his sweetheart past me as he fixes his tie with the other hand. A woman laughing to my right. The smell of booze. And that music. That swing. I feel the music surrounding me in my bones, shaking me from the inside out, just like it’s shaking everyone else in this joint. Just coasting along to the vibrations.

And then — fewer people this time. The night’s winding down, fellas are going home with their dolls. We’re giving one last hurrah for the couples still knocking it out on the dance floor. These kids are a bit more sauced now, swaying and laughing and bumping into each other. They dimmed the lights some. I’m still sticking around in my corner. Nobody by my side now. And that music. Still loud as hell, ringing out the night, shaking me from the inside out. And that’s kinda it, I told him. Great night.

Hey Will, does the number 3 have any special meaning to you?

Well, hm...I find it swell! And to hide out nowadays, one's gotta keep some tricks up his sleeve. To say things that're hard to say aloud!

Hello William!! Opinions on the song "Video Killed The Radio Star" by The Buggles? It sort of reminds me of you :))

-Billie

Hi Billie! I like this tune! Sounds like something Henry'd enjoy.

As for the song's message, I ain't got much experience with video, but hafta say radio indeed went a bit outta style once that visual stuff was around in houses and homes! Though radio always came more naturally to me. Ain't gotta worry about cobblin' together a face all the time!

Hello!! You followed me a while ago but I'm just going through your bolg now, it's very strange but I'm intrigued. It's lovely to formally make your acquaintance!

Nice to make your acquaintance as well! Come on in!
