Blaine Turns 23
[jane] joyeux anniversaire!
(1:39) [blaine] thank you jane
(1:40) [blaine] did you have a nice holiday
[jane] yes, it was fun
[jane] hung out with the fambly, saw chronicles of narnia
[jane] what did you do for your birthday?
[jane] i forget, you turned 24?
(1:40) [blaine] 23
[jane] ah
[jane] cool
[jane] do you feel any different? :)
(1:41) [blaine] i went downtown with friends, ate food, drank drinks, saw a band play a song i like and some fireworks
[jane] i think you're too old for 'blainey wainey'
(1:41) [blaine] then played monopoly and drank more drinks and ate more drinks at a friend's house
[jane] tis the end of an era
[jane] you ate drinks? cool! i want to eat drinks....
[jane] hehehe
[jane] sounds like fun
[jane] my you've grown
(1:43) [blaine] haha
(1:43) [blaine] i did make that mistake too
(1:43) [blaine] i don't feel much different at all
(1:43) [blaine] all these birthdays aren't really milestones
[jane] i guess once you're able to drink and drive the other birthdays don't matter much
[jane] or see R rated movies, or vote
[jane] or marry or become president (35) or i don't know what else
(1:45) [blaine] at 25 car insurance becomes less expensive
(1:45) [blaine] so i guess that's the next thing that's significant
(1:45) [blaine] although it isn't really
[jane] ah, of course. good point
[jane] do you have a favorite age, other than the one you're in now?
(1:47) [blaine] no, not really
(1:47) [blaine] i don't wish i was younger or older
(1:47) [blaine] i'm pretty happy
[jane] so you see yourself in the mirror of erised
[jane] sweet!
[jane] are you a harry fan?
* jane listens to aerosmith
(1:49) [blaine] who is harry
[jane] potter
[jane] mirror of erised = a mirror in the first harry potter book. when one looks into the mirror, one sees one's heart's desire--the person who sees only himself is completely fulfilled
[jane] so if you're 23 now, and happy where you are, it's like seeing yourself in that mirror
[jane] so congrats!
(1:51) [blaine] haha thanks jane
(1:51) [blaine] and thanks for filling me in on harry potter
(1:52) [blaine] he's a pretty popular guy
[jane] or should i say, felicitations
[jane] yep, quite the hottie, lol
[jane] ron is so much cuter though
[jane] too bad they're all underage
(1:52) [blaine] haha
(1:52) [blaine] poor jane
[jane] it's the red hair thing again
* jane sheds a tear
(1:53) [blaine] you'll be all right
[jane] how can i be????????
* jane sobs
[jane] hehehe
(1:53) * blaine hugs jane
(1:54) [blaine] fight through the tears
* jane hugs blaine
* jane punches the air
(1:54) [blaine] why did you punch the air
(1:54) [blaine] to fight?
[jane] i'm fighting through the tears of course
[jane] hahaha okay lame
[jane] oh well
[jane] i've got a gun though, like janie in this aerosmith song
(1:55) [blaine] you have a gun
(1:55) [blaine] yikes
[jane] "what did her daddy dooooooooo?"
[jane] no no, just lyrics from the song
[jane] you've never heard it?
(1:56) [blaine] i've heard it
[jane] ca m'etonne
(1:56) [blaine] but you never know
(1:56) [blaine] americans seem to really like guns
[jane] heh
[jane] i don't have a big problem with them, but i'm not about to go buy one either
[jane] we have them because ages ago we had this big fight with our former mother fucking country, england
[jane] we kicked her ass, and hard
[jane] so...the moral of the story is always arm your civilians
[jane] you never know what the government will try to pull
[jane] ;)
(1:58) [blaine] haha
(1:58) [blaine] wow, what a history lesson
(1:58) [blaine] thanks jane
[jane] you're quite welcome!
[jane] anytime, blaine
[jane] but honestly, that's the whole of it
[jane] the gun issue, i mean
(1:59) [blaine] i know
(1:59) [blaine] but you even said "motherfucking"
(2:00) [blaine] it really hammered the point home
[jane] hahahha
[jane] glad i was clear on that
[jane] no, i have no tiffs with england honestly
[jane] it's jolly and old, how can you NOT love it?
[jane] oh boy
[jane] it's 2 in the morning
[jane] whoooooosh!
(2:01) [blaine] haha
(2:01) [blaine] is time flying little jane
[jane] like a bird, it only flies away
[jane] so what are you up to now that school is out?
[jane] you don't have work tommorow do you?
[jane] and hey, does :p mean you're sticking your tongue out?
(2:04) [blaine] yes it does
(2:04) [blaine] and no, i have a class at 1pm but that's all tomorrow
[jane] oh thank you
[jane] you have a class?! already?!
[jane] i don't go back until the 17th
(2:05) [blaine] lucky
(2:05) [blaine] i wish that was the case
[jane] wow
[jane] so tommorow is your first day back?
[jane] good luck next semester, shayne
(2:06) [blaine] haha thank you jane
(2:06) [blaine] and you as well!
[jane] danke
[jane] hey we made it to the rosebowl!
[jane] in cali
(2:07) [blaine] your school did?
(2:07) [blaine] wow
[jane] i think the game is someday next week
[jane] yeah
(2:07) [blaine] there will probably be a lot of partying if you win
[jane] i didn't think about that, but yeah
[jane] chances to meet people! cool cool
[jane] 2x the cool, you see
(2:08) [blaine] haha
(2:08) [blaine] it will really bring your school together
[jane] you think?
(2:08) [blaine] you'll automatically have something in common with everybody there
[jane] of 50k
[jane] people
(2:08) [blaine] you can say "hey, we won!"
[jane] c'est vrai
[jane] "on a gagne!"
(2:09) [blaine] well, if you put it like that only the french speakers will be able to relate
[jane] hehe
[jane] so i could connect with the fracophones
[jane] i'm not opposed to that
[jane] we could form a strong bond of friendship, like the articles of confederation
(2:10) [blaine] you could!
[jane] just based on a football team's success!
[jane] sorry, i'm getting sarcastic
[jane] i didn't mean to
[jane] but you're right, i think it will bring us together to a certain degree
(2:12) [blaine] it's just a nice thing
(2:12) [blaine] you can ask anybody if they saw the game for the next couple of weeks
[jane] and something to remember
(2:12) [blaine] it's the ultimate opener for conversation
[jane] when i'm 80
(2:12) [blaine] it's hard to strike up conversation with people at school, even when you really want to
[jane] oh i had better watch it then.....
[jane] even in a small school?
(2:13) [blaine] yeah
[jane] poor blaine :(
* jane kisses his forehead
(2:14) [blaine] haha
(2:14) [blaine] thanks jane
[jane] we're all just primates
[jane] sometimes i wonder why we try to communicate with each other
[jane] why we don't scavenge for food all day, avoiding each other except for the opportunity to mate
[jane] yeesh
(2:15) [blaine] some people do live like that
[jane] This has been Depression With Jane.
[jane] i wonder if they're lonely
[jane] then again, people among people are lonely too
[jane] hehe no i'm not particularly depressed. just pessimistic de temps en temps
(2:18) * blaine hugs jane
(2:18) [blaine] we're all lonely on some level
[jane] that's actually comforting
[jane] i suppose because it makes room for the thought that loneliness is acceptable, normal, necessary for breathing
(2:19) [blaine] i think it is
(2:19) [blaine] we all want to be understood, but how do you completely understand someone else
[jane] and really saying to a person, "i'm lonely" seems pathetic
(2:19) [blaine] people can hardly do that about themselves
[jane] why?
[jane] if everyone is lonely, why can't a person say so?
[jane] even if it won't cure them
(2:20) [blaine] i don't know jane
(2:20) [blaine] we're all about perceptions
(2:21) [blaine] people don't want to be perceived as weak and vulnerable
[jane] yet at the same time we are all weak and vulnerable
[jane] i heard a quote, i can't remember where. it goes something like this: "Don't try to hide, you're naked anyway."
[jane] scary!
[jane] but reassuring as well, i suppose
(2:25) * blaine hugs jane again
(2:25) [blaine] you seem very level-headed
(2:25) [blaine] i think you're going to be all right jane
[jane] thank you
[jane] i think so too
* jane crawls on blaine's lap and falls asleep
(2:27) * blaine pets jane
(2:27) [blaine] haha
[jane] man i'm tired
(2:27) [blaine] then go to bed!
(2:27) [blaine] it's the best thing for it
[jane] yeah i should
[jane] hehe, yes it is
[jane] sleep is a terrific cure for tiredness
(2:28) [blaine] it really ease
(2:28) [blaine] is
[jane] i should try it more often
(2:28) [blaine] cheap and effective
[jane] hahaha
[jane] cheap yes
[jane] unless it's in a five star hotel
(2:29) [blaine] that's true
(2:29) [blaine] you caught me
[jane] but in such a place i am not
(2:29) [blaine] you can't put anything past little jane
[jane] hahahaha
[jane] nope, i am too quick
[jane] faster than the speed of light
[jane] look at her go!
[jane] so anyways
(2:31) [blaine] haha
(2:31) [blaine] i'm glad to talk to you again jane
(2:31) [blaine] you say the cutest things
[jane] you too, it has been too long
* jane blushes
(2:32) [blaine] i hope you have a nice dream while you're sleeping
[jane] thank you, i'll make sure to do just that
[jane] bonne nuit, king of adventure!
[jane] and equally sweet dreams to you too
(2:33) [blaine] good night little jane!
