Me: "I need you to mail me that book I let you borrow a few months ago."
Friendish: "What the hell, TAB? I'm like 3/4 of the way through it! I'll send it when I'm done."
Me: "No, I need it now. I'm quitting TV again. I need all the books I can get. Lots of reading to do."
Friendish: "Quitting TV? Care to explain that one?"
Me: "It's plotting against me."
Friendish: "The TV is plotting against you."
Me: "Yes."
Friendish: "I'm gonna need more information."
Me: "It's Saturday night. I'm in my apartment alone. You know what's on TV? "He's Just Not That Into You" and "The Notebook" and a horror movie I saw on a date with an ex. Do you see the plotting?"
Friendish: "Right, yes. You could, you know, leave the apartment and go be social with other human beings."
Me: "We're discussing my television formulating plots to unhinge me emotionally and you think I'm in some condition to interact with others? Without supervision?!"
Friendish: "Good point. So, drinking alone in your apartment again?"
Me: "You know what? Do what you know. And damn, man, stop judging me."
Friendish: "It's what I know."
