Have you ever wondered if perhaps ... you aren't who you are supposed to be? Like you're meant to be something more than you are? That for some reason, you aren't living up to the person that you were made to become?

Hmmm.

I suppose all those feelings are natural. Everyone has feelings of dissatisfaction in their life...

And, realistically, I know that I've achieved a lot, for a man of twenty five. I run two businesses, I graduated at the top of my class, received my degree early, and own my own home. This is a lot for anyone, I like to think.

I think that perhaps I need to ... what is the saying. 'Lighten up'.

Tonight, I'm not going to go hole up at home like I always do. I'm going to go out to eat, perhaps go out to a bar.

There is no reason for me to hole up in my house. I'm not a hermit, after all. If anyone would like to join me, they are very welcome.

Jennifer ... I trust you are feeling better. I have not seen you since the other day, but if I knew your phone number I might have called to check up. You have not called or stopped by, so I can assume you are doing quite well. How much longer will your arm be in that cast? At any rate. I hope you are doing well.

As for Shizuka -- I hope that Elle is behaving herself. I don't believe she's ever spent a night without me ... It is perhaps strange to be so protective of a cat. But I do hope that she is doing all right. She does seem to like you, so I am sure that she is fine.

I would love to join you. I know how it feels to be a little disappointed with your place in life. But, like you said, that's just natural.

It might be natural, but it is a bit perplexing. I've never been disheartened with my progress up until this point. It's rather sudden, really.

Your company would be most welcome.

It is a bit strange. I'm sorry you feel that way. Maybe you've hit a lull, and need something to re-engage your mind?

Wonderful.

That might be the case. I shouldn't stick in the same routine, day in day out. It might have caused the problem.

I know it always gets me down. How about coffee tonight? We can go to a movie beforehand, and discuss it after!

Sounds wonderful. I wonder what is playing ... I haven't been to a movie in years.

I haven't been to one in a while, either. I'll e-mail you about it later.

Sounds like a plan, then.

I'm much better, Mr. Gray, thank you. My arm isn't in a cast anymore, it wasn't broken, so...

I hope you're okay too, you, uhm... you seem a bit troubled...

I'm glad you are feeling better. I really ought to have stopped by to see how you were doing.

Not troubled, exactly, just thoughtful.

You seem to be a bit troubled... Do you want to talk or something? My offer of going for a coffee/drink is still up! :3

[info]ticktocktick

Thank you for the offer, but I don't know how comfortable I would be talking.

I would accept the offer of drinks, however. Coffee or otherwise.

Everyone has feelings of dissatisfaction at times. And to have managed all of that at twenty-five? It seems like you've made it farther than most. Perhaps you're feeling like there's nowhere to go but down? To the contrary, Gabriel, you have a long life ahead of you. And so many opportunities!

However, such feelings are [as you've stated] perfectly natural. But if you need anyone to talk to, I'm almost always available. And I'm sure the other people on The Network wouldn't be so against giving you a little pick-me-up speech if need be.

Thank you. I appreciate the 'pep talk'. And you are right -- I have a lot ahead of me.

Though, considering your username, I wonder if I can believe you? (That was a joke... People usually don't catch my humor, I figure I should give you a fair head's up.)

Well, if I am a liar, at least I'm sincere about it. <3

I suppose if one must lie, sincerity is a nice addition.

That it is. And don't worry, you're not too bad at this humour thing.

Well, thank you. I don't think I'm terrible at humor, either. But I guess you can't judge yourself on this matter.

Enough exposure to the Network can turn anyone into a comedian, Gabe, I don't doubt your ability.

Well. Thank you. I appreciate it.

You seem to be quite humorous yourself.

Very welcome.

Sadly, I don't think I was even attempting to be funny. But if it worked, I'm not going to deny it. My sister always said I needed a sense of humour.

You have a fantastic sense of irony, if I do say so myself.

That's all right. We can both be humorless. At least we will not suffer our fate alone.

Why thank you.

Oh yes. Misery (Or, apparently, lack of whatever makes someone inherently funny) loves company.

You're quite welcome.

Humor is up to the beholder, anyway. Some might not find us funny, but there will be the select few.

Very true. And possibly they have sick minds, such as ourselves.

(OoC: I know I'm finding this hilarious. XD These two. <3)

Perhaps not everyone is capable of understanding our particular brand of humor.

[XD! I know. They're adorable.

GlaD: And then I killed everyone with neurotoxins!
Sylar: LOL! Hilarious!]

We're too deep for them: you've found the answer!

I'm fairly sure she has a large amount of affection for you, as well.

I'm not sure she is capable of love.

She likes to pretend that she is a hat, I think. She's done that to me on occasion.

I think I might have to start deliberately taking naps over at the funeral home just to snuggle with her.

I think she would appreciate that. I don't ... snuggle with her very often. Perhaps she is starved for affection.

Here's a solution: snuggle with her!
