Okay, so apparently the cat is not as potty trained as I had hoped. Good luck with the mess.

(1:08)
Okay, quick questions. One, who is this?

(1:11)
Whoops, wrong number. New phone and still trying to figure out how this works.

(1:13)
So you decided to text me out of nowhere?

(1:14)
Like I said, new phone and I’m still trying to figure out how all of this works.
(1:16)
Plus, your phone number sort of resembles the person I was texting.

(1:19)
So why are you still texting me?

(1:20)
No idea. I think it’s because you sound interesting.
(1:22)
Why do you keep texting me?

(1:25)
To be honest, this is the most entertaining thing right now.
(1:26)
I’m stuck at work while the boss is rambling about god knows what.

(1:28)
Pay attention, young one. You never know what it could be about.

(1:31)
While you got back to potty training your cat.

(1:33)
Details, details.

Mon 18 June (2:43pm)
I saw a cat today and it made me think of you.

(2:44)
Who the what now?
(2:46)
Who is this?

(2:49)
I was the wrong number from Saturday. How can you not remember me?

(2:51)
Oh yeah.
(2:52)
Dude, you’re that bored?

(2:55)
With nothing to do while your boss screams at everybody else, it gets boring after a while.

(2:57)
I can see that.
(2:59)
What exactly do you do?

(3:02)
I can’t tell you that, now, can I?
(3:03)
Besides, I don’t even know your name.

(3:06)
Josie.

(3:08)
Excuse me?

(3:11)
That’s my name. My name is Josie.
(3:12)
At least now I’m a stranger with a name.

(3:14)
Alright then.
(3:15)
That doesn’t mean I’m going to give out my name.

(3:18)
Aw, come on!
(3:19)
I gave you my name.

(3:21)
For all I know, you could be a stalker.
(3:22)
Or a .

(3:24)
In order to be those, I first have to have experience of said things.
(3:25)
I am neither or those things.

(3:28)
That’s what a and/or a murderer would say.

(3:31)
The fact that you know that is very creepy.

(3:34)
Don’t you have something to do?

(3:36)
My biscuits!

Sat 23 June (2:38pm)
Hey, I’m picking up take-out. Do you want anything?

(2:41)
I’d rather not, thanks.

(2:43)
Goddammit.
(2:44)
That wasn’t meant for you. It was meant for my sister.
(2:46)
I need to her number right.

(2:48)
So wrong number, or Josie, actually has a life?

(2:51)
Yes, for your information.
(2:52)
I am in fact human with a sort of social life.

(2:54)
When you put it into words like that, it sounds depressing.

(2:57)
Welcome to my sad life.
(2:58)
Are you still in the office?

(3:02)
Who said I work in an office?

(3:05)
I don’t know a lot about you.
(3:06)
For all I know, you could be a cannibal.

(3:08)
I resent that, thank you.
(3:09)
I also thought I was supposed to be the paranoid one.

(3:12)
I just watched Hannibal and honestly, it’ll make a lot of people paranoid just by watching the show.

(3:14)
I don’t think I’ve ever seen that movie.

(3:17)
Good. Don’t watch it.
(3:18)
Unless you have the stomach for it.

(3:21)
I think I have a friend that would like to take you up on that challenge.

(3:23)
I will once I figure out what your name is.

(3:27)
Yongguk.

(3:29)
Mande?

(3:31)
That’s my name.
(3:32)
What does that word mean?

(3:34)
Mande means what in Spanish.
(3:35)
But this is good. We’re on a first name bases instead of calling each other random texting stranger.

(3:38)
That sounds like a band.

(3:41)
Random Texting Stranger.
(3:42)
The new punk rock band. In concert towards a city near you.

(3:45)
I need to go. The boss is chewing people’s asses.
(3:47)
I think I’m next.

(3:51)
Good luck!

Tues 26 June (4:02pm)
Do you know quick ways of getting a flatter stomach by doing nothing?

(4:04)
What?

(4:06)
It’s a simple question to answer.

(4:09)
I’m pretty sure that’s impossible.
(4:11)
Wait, why are you texting me?

(4:13)
I knew that would get your attention.
(4:14)
I’m bored and I feel extremely lazy.

(4:16)
Don’t you have a job? Or school?

(4:19)
Now I can’t tell you that. For all I know, you could be a stalker.
(4:20)
No one likes a stalker.

(4:22)
Can’t one ask questions?
(4:23)
I was only wondering because you’re asking me weird questions.

(4:25)
It’s how I start conversations.
(4:27)
I ask weird questions and it all leads to there.

(4:31)
I can tell by the effectiveness of it.

(4:33)
My siblings always told me that I have a gift of asking weird questions.

(4:35)
How so?

(4:37)
If someone was covered in paper cuts and you threw them into a pool of lemon juice how long do you think it would take them to die?

(4:38)

(4:40)
What circle of hell did you crawl out of?

(4:42)
See? I ask the important questions.

(4:45)
Where do you get these types of questions?

(4:47)
I’m like tumblr at three in the morning.
(4:48)
Night blogging as they called it.

(4:51)
I have no idea what that is, but I think it’s something I’m not going near.

(4:53)
It makes one insane. I’ve been using it since my college years and look where I am now.
(4:54)
Texting a random stranger by the name of Yongguk.
(4:57)
That’s not how I’d like to spend my Tuesdays.

(5:02)
What do you do on Tuesdays?

(5:04)
Bugging my sister, but she’s not here so I’m bugging you.
(5:05)
So, whatcha doing?

(5:08)
Working.

(5:11)
Boo. You’re not fun.

(5:13)
You know, most people would usually ignore a random text.

(5:14)
And yet here we are.

(5:16)
Unfortunately.

(5:18)
:P

(5:21)
I need to go. I’m working on a project.

(5:23)
One of these days, I will figure out what you actually do.

(5:25)
That’ll happen once they invent wings for pigs.

(5:27)
Meanie!

Sat 30 June (1:04pm)
If a bear and a shark got into a fight, who would win?

(1:06)

(1:08)
Why can’t you say hi like a normal person.

(1:11)
I’m not normal. Being normal is way too overrated.
(1:12)
Plus, being normal means I have to be boring.
(1:14)
Like you.

(1:17)
Excuse me? I am not boring.

(1:21)
I’m sorry, but who is the one working on a Saturday?
(1:22)
Not me, I can tell you that.

(1:24)
You’re never going to tell me what you do, are you?

(1:27)
Nope.
(1:28)
Plus, it’s fun to bug you during work.

(1:31)
It is, until my boss keeps hearing the vibration of my phone.
(1:32)
That came out wrong.

(1:34)
Yes it did.

(1:37)
But the thing still stands.

(1:39)
One day, one we’re comfortable with each other, we’ll open up more.
(1:41)
Until that day comes, I’m not telling you .

(1:43)
You have the mouth of a sailor, you know that.

(1:45)
So I’ve been told.
(1:47)
I gotta go. My sister is dragging me to some weird play.

(1:51)
Have fun and enjoy your play!

(1:53)
Hehe, kill me.
