Texts with Josie

This is what happens when I clear out my text history. (And don’t worry, I totally didn’t get Josie’s permission.)

 

Josie: 2 for 1 burgers tomorrow at Dick’s.

Me: I can’t eat there without…consequences.

Josie: Drunken texting with Jonathan Franzen?? Writing fan letters to Zooey Deschanel?

Me: Exactly.

*

Josie: My future thesis: The use of six-pack abs as a character.

Me: Supporting characters: bank account, tattoos.

*

Me: I’m writing a romance novel farce thing and need some ridiculous character names.

Josie: I’ve always thought characters with car names that are supposed to be super macho sounded ridiculous. Like Ford or Lincoln.

Me: Cadillac? Hyundai?

Josie: Then they make up an Irish last name, which doesn’t sound Irish at all. O’Tosterone.

Josie: O’Grimace. McSteele.

Me: Plenty O’Toole.

Josie: LOLOLOLOLOLOL

*

Josie: Best. Cover. Ever.

Me: Is that a porcupine?

Josie: A hedgehog? HEDGING His Bets?

Me: I don’t want to know how a hedgehog figures into a romance. Like, at all.

 

(It’s a were-hedgehog, in case you were wondering.)
