(Tuesday, AM)
(6:15) hey lassiopolis
(6:15) did u hear about the new star wars movie that's coming out?
(6:16) gus and i are going to go see it on the eighteenth
(6:17) i figured since u missed the marathon...
(6:22) ... Shawn.
(6:23) carlytown! i thought u'd never reply!
(6:23) ... Do you have any idea what time it is?
(6:24) idk like 6am o/s right?
(6:24) Yeah, 6 am. No big deal.
(6:24) exactly! early bird gets the worm and all.
(6:24) gus still gets mad, even though i stopped texting him at 4am after the Bathroom Debacle of 2005
(6:25) I can't imagine why.
(6:25) And Bathroom Debacle of 2005? Do I even want to know?
(6:25) i texted him during his morning bathroom routine
(6:26) and he, uh, might've dropped his work phone in the toilet bc the notification scared him
(6:26) Wait... The notification *scared* him?
(6:26) i should rly set the scene: the early morning after halloween, which means the morning after our halloween movie marathon
(6:27) What is it with you guys and marathons?
(6:27) shhhhhh, don't interrupt
(6:27) ... Fine, continue.
(6:27) love the enthusiasm
(6:28) ...
(6:28) anyway we watched all the typical movies, Halloween, Friday the 13th, Freddie Kreuger, etc.
(6:28) so i changed his ringtone for me to the theme from the Exorcist
(6:28) I take it he wasn't aware you did that?
(6:29) the following rant was unlike any the world had ever seen before
(6:29) he even set a ban: no texts before 7:45am.
(6:30) 7:45? That's pretty specific.
(6:30) he has a very strict bathroom schedule
(6:31) Sorry I asked.
(6:35) so, any opinion on the new star wars movie coming out?
(6:35) You're not going to let me go back to sleep, are you?
(6:35) are u trying to tell me u were actually sleeping? u, mr Head Detective?
(6:36) i bet my star wars ticket that uve been up since at least 5am
(6:37) 4:30am actually, but nice guess.
(6:37) so u won the ticket... u coming to the showing?
(6:38) You don't seem very upset that you just lost your Star Wars ticket in a bet.
(6:38) it's np, i'll just buy a new one
(6:38) ...
(6:38) Did you lose on purpose?
(6:39) of course not. why would i pretend to not know that u actually wake up at 4am to go fishing? to lose my ticket to a v attractive police detective? so that i could buy a ticket and go see the movie w him? no way
(6:39) I'm sensing a lot of sarcasm here.
(6:39) Did you just call me attractive?
(6:39) Wait, how do you know what I look like? And what time I wake up?
(6:40) i'm psychic
(6:40) ...
(6:41) oh relax, i promise i don't cyberstalk u.
(6:41) well, i did look u up but it made me remember that u used to be my dad's fishing buddy. and he woke up at ungodly hours so of course u do too.
(6:42) told u we weren't stangers
(6:42) Hardly.
(6:42) And you mean the other grumpy and rude detective who treats you with disdain?
(6:43) aww carly did u look back through our msgs for an exact quote?
(6:43) Wait, wait, wait... You're Shawn *Spencer*, aren't you? *That* Shawn?
(6:43) now it feels like ur the psychic
(6:44) Well, I only ever fished with Henry Spencer, and not for long, but your description would have made me just as sure even if I had loads of fishing buddies.
(6:44) u and my dad were "fishing buddies"? emphasis on the "buddies"
(6:44) Not really. All he ever did was criticize my pole technique. Which is flawless by the way.
(6:44) But I mean, how do you even criticize how a man holds his own pole?
(6:45) i was going to say something but it's just too easy
(6:45) What are you talking about?
(6:45) nothing nothing
(6:46) anyway
(6:47) i just guessed that u probably still go since u were fishing "buddies" w my dad for lyk 3 months
(6:47) which, i mean if u like fishing enough to do that, then u probably like it enough to go by yourself and cont to wake up that early too
(6:49) That's pretty good detective reasoning. Get that from your dad?
(6:50) more than u know
(6:50) ?
(6:50) so u gonna come see the star wars movie w me and gus?
(6:51) Very subtle subject change.
(6:51) i thought so
(6:51) And no. Just because you know of me doesn't me you know me or I you.
(6:52) fair enough
(6:52) i was only half serious anyway, i just needed a reson to keep talking to u
(6:52) i mean annoying u
(6:53) You're not annoying me.
(6:53) Anymore, I mean.
(6:53) I got to go.
(6:54) sure
(6:54) do u still want me to stop txtn u or can i live text u what's happening during star wars?
(6:54) No, you can still text me.
(6:55) For the live texting. I may not want to go but those movies are classics.
(6:55) of course
(6:59) bye carlton
