[00:58] Snowboard4life: Hey
[00:59] Snowboard4life: Whats up?
[00:59] ThePriceIsRight: Hey
[00:59] ThePriceIsRight: Not much
[00:59] ThePriceIsRight: Will, right?
[00:59] ThePriceIsRight: How are you?
[00:59] Snowboard4life: You remembered
[00:59] ThePriceIsRight: *laughs* yeah, I've got a pretty good memory
[01:00] ThePriceIsRight: what's happening, anyway?
[01:03] Snowboard4life: Nothing much. I went into NYC the other day with a friend, that was fun. what've you been up to?
[01:03] ThePriceIsRight: Not a whole lot. Was in NYC the other day myself!
[01:04] Snowboard4life: No way! Thats awesome! What for?
[01:04] ThePriceIsRight: ah, was supposed to be meeting an old friend, but she never showed. Did some shopping and then moved on, the city's a bit too big and busy for me.
[01:08] Snowboard4life: Yeah and it smells lol
[01:08] ThePriceIsRight: lol
[01:08] ThePriceIsRight: well it is a big city
[01:08] ThePriceIsRight: I imagine it'd be hard to keep clean
[01:09] Snowboard4life: Theres not enough nature there for me. I mean I'm not some tree-hugging hippie but Central Park is the only grass for miles lol
[01:09] ThePriceIsRight: *laughs* I grew up in cities
[01:09] ThePriceIsRight: bit more green than NYC, but still... I'm not exactly the camping type, you know?
[01:11] ThePriceIsRight: So what were you doing in NYC?
[01:12] Snowboard4life: I was showing a friend around, she's new to the area. We went to the Rockefeller and did some ice skating.
[01:13] ThePriceIsRight: cool bananas
[01:13] ThePriceIsRight: I'm way too unco-ordinated for ice skating
[01:14] Snowboard4life: Yeah I'm not that great at it lol
[01:15] ThePriceIsRight: surely if you snowboard you could skate though - I mean, at least you'd have a sense of balance, right?
[01:17] Snowboard4life: Snowboarding is actually a lot different. But I just never really ice skated back home in my free time like I boarded. Skating was always seen as a girly thing back then lol
[01:17] ThePriceIsRight: ahhh
[01:17] ThePriceIsRight: fair enough
[01:18] ThePriceIsRight: so, did you fall on your arse and embarrass yourself then?
[01:21] Snowboard4life: Of course not.
[01:21] Snowboard4life: Fell on my face twice though.
[01:21] Snowboard4life:
[01:21] ThePriceIsRight: *laughs* nice
[01:22] ThePriceIsRight: so, do you have a blog Will? Since you found mine and all...
[01:24] Snowboard4life: No. I should make one, people keep telling me to. But I never get around to it.
[01:24] ThePriceIsRight: Ah, fair enough. I keep forgetting to update mine anyway.
[01:27] ThePriceIsRight: *hums* So how's school?
[01:29] Snowboard4life: Eh, boring. I nearly screwed up my theology grade by forgetting a major paper. I was up until like three in the morning.
[01:29] Snowboard4life: So I was dead the next day. Lol
[01:30] ThePriceIsRight: Yeah, I bet. I'm so glad I don't have to think about that kind of thing anymore. What kind of job are you hoping to get once you finish up your degree? It's a degree over here too, right?
[01:31] ThePriceIsRight: I get so confused by the college vs uni thing sometimes
[01:31] Snowboard4life: Yeah. I like accounting so I'm thinking about that. But so far I'm still thinking about it.
[01:32] ThePriceIsRight: *nodnods* fair enough. Your... mutation won't be a problem or anything?
[01:33] ThePriceIsRight: I know not all employers are cool with it, even though it's probably illegal for them to say anything about it
[01:33] Snowboard4life: Nah I just generally keep it on the DL. My friends are cool with it. I just wont tell my bosses lol
[01:34] ThePriceIsRight: it's nothing obvious then
[01:34] ThePriceIsRight: ?
[01:34] Snowboard4life: No it's not outward lol
[01:34] ThePriceIsRight: I've always wondered what it'd be like to be green or something, you know?
[01:35] Snowboard4life: Yeah or like have wings or animal features or something lol
[01:35] ThePriceIsRight: yeah
[01:36] ThePriceIsRight: it must be hard not being able to hide it
[01:36] Snowboard4life: It'd be fun to try on other people's powers but I wouldn't want to stand out.
[01:36] Snowboard4life: Yeah.
[01:36] ThePriceIsRight: *nodnods* so what... are yours?
[01:36] ThePriceIsRight: if you don't mind talking about it and all
[01:36] ThePriceIsRight: it's no big deal if you don't want to tell me, I know what it's like to not want to talk about it
[01:39] Snowboard4life: I can phase out of my body, send a projection, like a hologram.
[01:40] Snowboard4life: And run around, see everything, walk through stuff.
[01:40] ThePriceIsRight: oh wow
[01:40] ThePriceIsRight: that's pretty crazy
[01:41] ThePriceIsRight: useful, I'm sure
[01:41] Snowboard4life: Yeah but it's gotten me in trouble a few times lol
[01:41] ThePriceIsRight: lol
[01:41] ThePriceIsRight: I bet
[01:41] Snowboard4life: So whats your power? lol
[01:42] ThePriceIsRight: Oh, uhm... My skin doesn't keep my energy in *lol*
[01:42] ThePriceIsRight: when people touch me, they get my energy
[01:42] ThePriceIsRight: so I guess you could say I'm a healer, but it's all my own energy that goes into it
[01:42] Snowboard4life: So you can't touch people?
[01:43] ThePriceIsRight: not for more than a couple of minutes, no
[01:43] ThePriceIsRight: after that I pass out, have to sleep it off
[01:43] ThePriceIsRight: til I get my energy back up
[01:43] Snowboard4life: I knew someone who couldn't touch people. It was really hard for her.
[01:43] ThePriceIsRight: yeah? Was she like me, giving her energy away?
[01:44] ThePriceIsRight: I've never heard of anyone else like me
[01:46] Snowboard4life: No uh her skin was like poison to anyone who touched her. Made them sick.
[01:46] ThePriceIsRight: Wow, that's pretty crazy
[01:46] ThePriceIsRight: her skin made poison? That'd be scary as.
[01:46] Snowboard4life: Yeah. She hated it.
[01:47] ThePriceIsRight: Did she take the cure?
[01:47] Snowboard4life: Yeah
[01:47] ThePriceIsRight: *nods*
[01:47] ThePriceIsRight: I dunno, I'm used to it. I guess it'd be different if I made other people sick, but I'm the only one who gets hurt by my powers.
[01:50] Snowboard4life: Either way, not being able to touch people is hard. Do you have to wear gloves?
[01:50] ThePriceIsRight: I usually do just cause it's easier than explaining. Get some weird looks though.
[01:51] ThePriceIsRight: But it's not just my hands, it's all of my skin. My face and stuff too.
[01:52] ThePriceIsRight: I passed out a couple of weeks back, actually. Haven't for years before that, but sometimes it's hard to avoid people and it all just adds up, you know?
[01:53] Snowboard4life: Yeah I know. I bet people just don't understand sometimes. I tried to cheat her powers and touch her a couple of times. Ended up hurting myself lol
[01:54] ThePriceIsRight: That sucks. I'd feel so terrible.
[01:55] Snowboard4life: I heard the cure is wearing off though. D'you think it's true?
[01:55] ThePriceIsRight: I dunno. Maybe, I read about it on a website and there was a woman who talked about how it had worn off for her.
[01:56] ThePriceIsRight: Can't trust the internet though.
[01:56] ThePriceIsRight: anyone can say pretty much anything on the internet
[01:57] Snowboard4life: Tell me about it.
[01:57] ThePriceIsRight: Why don't you ask your friend that got cured, though?
[01:57] Snowboard4life: I read a scientific journal about it...
[01:57] Snowboard4life: She graduated.
[01:58] ThePriceIsRight: oh, fair enough
[01:58] ThePriceIsRight: you guys don't talk at all?
[01:58] ThePriceIsRight: she might be a bit sensitive about it though, right?
[01:58] Snowboard4life: We kind of lost touch. When she left we were fighting.
[01:58] ThePriceIsRight: Oh, fair enough.
[01:59] ThePriceIsRight: I'm sorry to hear that. Friends are everything.
[01:59] ThePriceIsRight: At least, they are when you hate your family.
[01:59] ThePriceIsRight:
[02:00] Snowboard4life: Yeah I know what you mean.
[02:01] ThePriceIsRight: You said your parents wanted you cured, didn't you? That sucks.
[02:01] Snowboard4life: Yeah. It's weird that my other two brothers aren't mutants. I mean, on of mine is, but I've got three.
[02:02] ThePriceIsRight: I heard it's genetic. Comes from your dad.
[02:02] Snowboard4life: Yeah me too.
[02:02] ThePriceIsRight: My dad is. A mutant, I mean. Don't know him very well, he left before I was even born but mum tracked him down when I was 16.
[02:03] ThePriceIsRight: Interesting birthday present, that one.
[02:03] Snowboard4life: Wow yeah. I thought she didn't like mutants, though? She didn't know he was one?
[02:03] ThePriceIsRight: I never talked to her about it. *shrugs*
[02:04] ThePriceIsRight: He's not an obvious one, so it's possible she didn't know.
[02:05] ThePriceIsRight: She doesn't like my mutation, at any rate. Been trying to fix me for years.
[02:05] Snowboard4life: Maybe she'll come around. My parents did.
[02:06] ThePriceIsRight: I doubt it. I've seen her all of once since I came to the US.
[02:06] ThePriceIsRight: Don't even know if she recognised me.
[02:07] ThePriceIsRight: Don't really care either way though, I'm not interested.
[02:08] ThePriceIsRight: She won't accept me for who I am, never has. So whatever.
[02:08] Snowboard4life: So you're living on your own? Wow lol
[02:09] ThePriceIsRight: I've made some friends, I'm staying with them now, but I was on my own for a long time.
[02:11] Snowboard4life: I'm watching America's Most Wanted, and the host guy is talking about dangerous mutants. Way to make us all look like dangers. That bugs me lol
[02:12] ThePriceIsRight: anyone with power can abuse it
[02:12] ThePriceIsRight: we just happen to be born with ours.
[02:12] ThePriceIsRight: (so to speak)
[02:13] Snowboard4life: I mean I kind of agree with that one group they call terrorists. I mean not with the killing people and stuff, but don't they think that mutants shouldn't have to deal with being looked down on and stuff?
[02:13] ThePriceIsRight: yeah, totally
[02:13] ThePriceIsRight: shouldn't matter what you are, what you look like, what you can do - everyone should be treated the same
[02:13] Snowboard4life: Yeah. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Of course nobody wants to be persacuted.
[02:13] ThePriceIsRight: people don't always understand though
[02:14] Snowboard4life: And I mean it's not like the hippies got anything done by waving signs around. Maybe it's time to get some attention.
[02:14] ThePriceIsRight: *shrugs* I'm not exactly a fighter, but I'd help with a fight for mutant rights.
[02:14] ThePriceIsRight: *laughs*
[02:14] Snowboard4life: Yeah.
[02:14] ThePriceIsRight: well, I don't think killing is the answer either
[02:15] ThePriceIsRight: but nothing will ever happen if everyone just sits back and takes it, I guess
[02:24] ThePriceIsRight: anyway, I'm going to go make something to eat. So I'll talk to you later on, maybe.
[02:24] Snowboard4life: Okay see you!
[02:24] ThePriceIsRight: bye!
[02:25] Snowboard4life: Bye!
[00:59] Snowboard4life: Whats up?
[00:59] ThePriceIsRight: Hey
[00:59] ThePriceIsRight: Not much
[00:59] ThePriceIsRight: Will, right?
