Second Rose: Not wishing for anyone [Written]

[formerabyssinian]

Am I the only one who wouldn't want anyone from home to be here?

Besides the cold, it isn't exactly a vacation here. With this place being so unpredictable, I'd rather have those I know back home in familiar territory.

Yes, I know what that is.

So it's a small computer that can run different programs? Are they popular?

[hollywood_bro]

very.
everyone has them these days
or at least they did where i'm from
not sure they even exist in the little backwater town i'm in.

[formerabyssinian]

It must be after my time, perhaps. I'm sure I would have at least heard something about it if it's that popular.

[hollywood_bro]

it depends on when and where you're from
i don't think were all from the same planet
let alone the same time.

[formerabyssinian]

That's possible, too. I'm not very worried about missing out. I did just fine so far without it.

[hollywood_bro]

i already miss the functionality
compared to the iphone this journal system is archaic
can't even send a selfie.

[formerabyssinian]

[The term 'selfie' sounds pretty crude...]

A what?

[hollywood_bro]

you know
a picture
like the ones they have on facebook.
sometimes you can see the person's arm in it
you're supposed to hold the camera out and take a picture of your own face.

[formerabyssinian]

[Facebook...what is that? A tv program?]

So a picture you take of yourself, by yourself. Who comes up with these names?

[hollywood_bro]

bunch of kids probably
social networking is popular with the teenage crowd
but everyone's doing it

[formerabyssinian]

Somehow, that doesn't surprise me.
