Monday: January/12/09 - AIM: Starbuck/Mandy
Mandy: Hey Starbuck. I gotta talk to you about something
Starbuck: Sure, what's up?
Mandy: I don't know if I can do healing in the infirmary anymore, maybe I can just fill out paperwork and stuff
Starbuck: Something wrong?
Mandy: I'm pregnant
Starbuck: Oh, wow, big news. Happy news?
Mandy: Are you kidding me?
Mandy: I'm a single 18 year old lesbian
Starbuck: For all I know, you've always wanted kids.
Mandy: Even so, I'm 18. People my age should NOT be breeding.
Starbuck: Eh, I've got one kid already and another on the way. Kim's not much older than you. But I'm getting off point. Are you okay?
Mandy: I'm fine. I just don't know that I can like, heal like this. So better not to chance it you know?
Starbuck: I agree.
Mandy: I already decided I'm not gonna kill it, so I need to take care of it
Starbuck: You can still help, just don't use your magical abilities to heal.
Mandy: Well yeah, I plan to. I just thought you should like know why I'm suddenly like totally huge
Starbuck: You aren't huge. Kim isn't even huge.
Mandy: Yeah not yet.
Starbuck: I'm guessing this is still a secret?
Mandy: No. I told my dad, I told the kid's dad... guess there's no reason to keep quiet about it. People are gonna talk anyway eventually
Starbuck: Take your time. Wait until you're ready for people to know. I won't tell anyone.
Mandy: I'm never gonna be ready for it. I mean, come on... the lesbian gets knocked up by a gay kid. It's like... that's never gonna be taken well
Starbuck: Fisher?
Mandy: EW no
Starbuck: Right, none of my business.
Mandy: No, it's cool. It's just sooooo not him
Mandy: Bleck.
Mandy: No.
Starbuck: Fisher's a cool dude.
Mandy: Yeah. I guess, Not really but okay.
Starbuck: Whatever, I don't care who the dad is.
Starbuck: That's your business.
Mandy: He's irrelevant anyway. He's not gonna be involved
Starbuck: At least you told him.
Mandy: Almost didn't. But you know.
Starbuck: Well, Kamea's mom never told me. A social worker broke the news.
Mandy: Ouch. That's cold
Starbuck: Yeah. I don't know why she didn't tell me. Fortunately, she told someone, so the social worker was able to track me down.
Mandy: I wouldn't have told anyone if I wasn't gonna tell him. I mean if you make the choice for the dad not to know, then no one else should. That's what my mom did. Kinda sucked I didn't have a dad but I totally admire her commitment to her cause
Starbuck: I don't think it's right to keep that shit from the dad. He's got a right to know.
Mandy: Even if he's total poison to his kid?
Starbuck: Well, if he's abusive or whatever, that's different.
Mandy: No it's not.
Starbuck: If that's the case, you're not telling him because it's in the child's best interest. So, yeah, there's a difference.
Mandy: But you said he had a right to know. Rights are there regardless of how shitty a person you are
Starbuck: Then I amend what I said.
Mandy: I totally admire that. Most people, especially dudes, just keep charging on all pig-headed
Starbuck: Nah, I say stupid shit all the time.
Mandy: It's cool you can admit it
Starbuck: I live with a pregnant woman. I'm NEVER right.
Mandy: Haha, you should just amend that to "woman"
Mandy: Or, "I live"
Starbuck: She might see it and kill me.
Mandy: I'm sorry but chances are you're always wrong
Starbuck: Yeah. I'm used to it.
Mandy: It's okay. You're only... well I guess you're not human are you?
Starbuck: Nope. All water nymph.
Mandy: Then you're only nymph.
Starbuck: And a guy.
Mandy: A man alone isn't always wrong. Just when he's around girls.
Starbuck: If he's around other guys, which one is right? The most feminine?
Mandy: The loudest and/or drunkest
Starbuck: I'm hosed.
Mandy: Sorry Starbuck
Starbuck: It's okay. How's Wes coping?
Mandy: Um... a lot better than I expected. He's been great actually
Mandy: Except for when he strongly implied I was a whore
Starbuck: Ouch.
Mandy: Well he was mad. And I was mad. And then I kinda said something nasty back, and then he was awesome and I cried
Starbuck: I was lucky, I already had a cute kid in my arms. Mom couldn't resist.
Mandy: Oh God what if he cries when it's born?
Starbuck: He probably will.
Mandy: Oh no
Mandy: I totally can't handle my dad crying
Starbuck: He's a softie. I'm sure he'll cry.
Mandy: Crap. My mom will too, it'll be awful
Mandy: OH GOD I have to tell my mom
Starbuck: Yeah, you should tell her.
Mandy: I don't want to. I'll show up with the baby so she can't kill me
Starbuck: She'll be upset that everyone else knew before her.
Mandy: She'll be upset period
Starbuck: Probably, at least at first.
Mandy: No you don't understand my mom
Starbuck: Disappointed?
Mandy: She'll hit me with her purse
Mandy: And yell
Starbuck: Oh, right, she did that to Wes, right?
Mandy: A few times
Starbuck: Ouch. Remind me to stay away from her.
Mandy: She's little and fierce... like a pile of fire ants
Starbuck: Kim is little and fierce, but she's never hit me with a purse. She's not really big on carrying purses.
Mandy: Kimmi acessorises
Starbuck: Never call her Kimmi.
Starbuck: She might hurt you.
Mandy: Ha! No, that's my mom
Starbuck: OH!
Starbuck: I knew that. Yep.
Mandy: You did not you liar
Starbuck: I'm trying to be manly!
Mandy: Well you fail!
Starbuck: I know everything. I'm king of my domain. Women don't know shit.
Mandy: Dude, I'm more manly than you, and I'm pregnant and crying over commercials
Starbuck: Do you have a dick? No.
Mandy: Do you?
Starbuck: If I don't, then I should probably have that extra arm looked at by a surgeon.
Mandy: Just making sure. I mean I've seen you with a beard, but when she goes away I wonder if your manliness stil applies
Starbuck: Kim says she likes the scruff. She likes my hair longer too.
Mandy: *facepalm*
Starbuck: I keep her happy, she keeps me happy. It's a fair trade.
Mandy: Dude you totally missed that I called you gay
Starbuck: I didn't miss it. I ignored it.
Mandy: Psh. You suck.
Starbuck: Also, I know gay dudes who are plenty manly. They just prefer dick.
Mandy: Not around here
Starbuck: No, not here.
Mandy: Unless "slutty" is a manly trait... which it is kinda...
Starbuck: I resent that!
Mandy: Oh please. Men are sluts
Starbuck: Not all of us.
Mandy: I know more guy sluts than girl sluts
Starbuck: I think it's equal.
Mandy: I can name like ten slutty guys off the top of my head, and like three girls
Starbuck: And that makes you the expert, right?
Mandy: Totally. I know sluts. I'm like, their queen now
Starbuck: I think I'll just surrender and agree with you. It's wise to agree with pregnant women.
Mandy: I'm not that far into pregnancy yet. Right now I just kinda cry and yell, but I don't plan murder
Starbuck: I don't want to end up on your hit list for later.
Mandy: Too late! lol
Starbuck: Damn. I should make sure the will is up to date.
Mandy: Yeah you should. And like, settle your estates and hug your mom and stuff
Starbuck: Well, everything is already in Kamea and Kim's names.
Mandy: So you have nothing. Sounds right to me.
Starbuck: Being serious for a second, you should probably establish a guardian just in case.
Starbuck: If you don't want the dad getting your kid if something bad happened.
Mandy: I guess my mom
Starbuck: Get it in writing and make it legal.
Mandy: Ugh. I wish none of this had ever happened.
Starbuck: Don't think about that anymore. You've decided that you're keeping the baby, so now is the time to focus on what's still in your control.
Mandy: That'd be like nothing.
Starbuck: Not true. There are names to think about, toys and clothes to buy, decisions to make about how you'll raise your kid.
Mandy: I guess.
Starbuck: We have LOADS of baby books if you want to borrow them.
Mandy: Thanks.
Mandy: Is it bad that I'm like, not even a little bit excited?
Starbuck: You're still in shock.
Mandy: I'm over shock. I'm kind of dreading it.
Starbuck: What's the scariest part?
Mandy: All of it. That my life is like, totally over. It's never gonna be what I wanted. And I'm afraid I'm gonna resent my kid for it
Starbuck: Or maybe this will make your life better.
Mandy: How?
Starbuck: Give it more meaning.
Mandy: I don't need a kid for my life to have meaning. It had enough meaning.
Starbuck: Alright, look, you're having this kid, right? I'm trying to make it not sound like the worst thing ever, because it's not.
Mandy: I guess it's not. I mean, a lot of people do a lot of things with kids. It just wicked sucks too.
Starbuck: You like being around kids, don't you? You're always good with Kamea.
Mandy: Yeah but like other peoples kids are way different. Kamea goes home after awhile
Starbuck: Yeah, and she's not always cute and sweet.
Mandy: Exactly.
Starbuck: You've got some great friends to help when you reach your limit.
Mandy: Well, I guess I'll get through this. Like vamp daddy always says, I will because I don't have any other option.
Starbuck: Exactly. It really is awesome being a parent, FYI.
Mandy: You didn't have to push the thing out.
Starbuck: No, and I wasn't around for the first year either, but being a dad is amazing.
Starbuck: It's hard, absolutely, but I love it.
Mandy: You also weren't a teenager, and you wanted kids, and your mom isn't like a lunatic. Maybe being a grandma will mellow her out
Starbuck: Maybe.
Mandy: I guess I could always adopt out if it becomes too much
Starbuck: You could. There are probably people here at school who would adopt your kid, but that might be too hard for you.
Mandy: Yeah, I don't think I could see it every day if I couldn't keep it.
Mandy: I wish I could talk to my dad like this
Starbuck: Give him time.
Mandy: I think he would like, want to, but... we always end up yelling at each other.
Starbuck: It happens sometimes with family members.
Starbuck: Frankie and Vinnie fight ALL the time.
Starbuck: At least you aren't like Kim and her brother.
Mandy: I think we like, just assume to much of each other. He assumes I'm still a little kid, and I assume he's like this irresponsible flake and not a real dad.
Starbuck: That's a problem.
Mandy: We're working on it. It's hard though. I've only known him like a year
Starbuck: You guys missed out on a lot more than Kamea and I did.
Mandy: Yeah, he never had to change poo diapers
Starbuck: Which are HORRIBLE! Kamea is doing great on potty training. Really hopeful we'll be done with diapers and pullups soon.
Mandy: Heh, maybe this can be payback. 'You missed all my crappy diapers so here are your grandkid's'
Starbuck: I like it!
Mandy: Maybe there is an upside here
Starbuck: And he's required to babysit as a grandparent.
Mandy: And buy me stuff
Starbuck: Yep.
Mandy: I guess this won't be impossible
Starbuck: I'll babysit too.
Starbuck: And since we know we're having a boy now, you can have some of Kamea's old stuff.
Mandy: I hope mine's a girl then lol
Starbuck: Well, yeah.
Mandy: Or the prettiest boy ever.
Starbuck: Actually, Kamea didn't wear much girly stuff. She hasn't developed an affinity for pink. Must be Kim's influence.
Mandy: I bet Kim is really hot in pink
You have disconnected (7:11:58 PM)
You have connected (7:12:02 PM)
You have disconnected (7:14:58 PM)
You have connected (7:15:02 PM)
Starbuck: God, you have no idea!
Mandy: It's always the ones who hate it that look good in it
Starbuck: She's worn pink just once for me.
Mandy: It's kind of a nasty color. Like brown. But some people pull it off
Starbuck: And drop it to the floor..
Starbuck: Just sayin!
Mandy: I hope you don't mind me fantasizing about your girlfriend
Starbuck: Nah, I do all the time.
Starbuck: She's hot!
Starbuck: And pregnant too, so she'd be a good person for you to talk to about all this.
Changed status to Idle (7:33:58 PM)
Changed status to Available (7:34:15 PM)
Mandy: Maybe I will. It might be nice.
Starbuck: She's further along than you, so she can tell you what to expect.
Mandy: I've been reading like crazy. I don't feel sick which is cool but I cry all the damn time
Starbuck: Kim is really emotional too.
Mandy: I can't picture her crying
Starbuck: She does.
Mandy: Wow.
Starbuck: I think you should tell her.
Mandy: I guess I will. I mean, people are gonna know anyway.
Starbuck: It would be good for her too. She could use someone else to talk to about all this.
Mandy: She's gonna brag about haing like the perfect father for her baby that'll be disgustingly adorable
Starbuck: Maaaybe.
Starbuck: I'm kinda awesome.
Mandy: Wanna be my baby daddy?
Starbuck: Sorry, I'm taken. But I'll be an awesome uncle?
Mandy: Fiiiiine
Starbuck: Babysitter, remember?
Mandy: You'd be a better dad.
Starbuck: Thanks.
Starbuck: I really am happy to help with whatever. It's hard raising a kid alone. I did before Kim and I got serious.
Mandy: Thanks
Mandy: I'm gonna go take a nap
Starbuck: Go for it. I'm around if you wanna chat about this more.
Mandy: Thanks Uncle Buck
Starbuck: Ew.
Starbuck: That's not cool.
Mandy: Sorry it's sticking
Starbuck: Ugh, fine. Can't argue with a pregnant woman. But I sorta hate you right now!
Mandy: You wouldn't win even if I wasn't pregnant.
Starbuck: Go nap!
Mandy: Talk to you later Uncle Buck
