You come second only to my artwork.

[starmark]

that's basically the same thing as first

nothing could ever bypass your artwork so everything else is really just competing for second place

[manuscripture]

You raise a good point. Does that make it any less meaningful?

I am too tired to be poetic.

[starmark]

i think it makes it more meaningful

it means i understand you

[manuscripture]

What is it that you understand?

[starmark]

that in your world there has to be room for both

anybody who wants a piece of you has to be willing to share it with your art

and anybody who tries to make you choose one over the other doesn't get it well enough to deserve that piece of you anyway

[manuscripture]

You are the only one who has ever understood that.

You cannot have one or the other.

I have turned you into both.

[starmark]

i don't want to make this weird but my dad is that way too with his music

so yeah

so which one is your favorite

in the sketchbook i mean

[manuscripture]

Near the middle, there is one of you laughing.

You will know which one I am talking about when you see it.

[starmark]

that's your favorite? me laughing?

...

okay, i found it

it's, um


wow

[manuscripture]

What do you think?

[starmark]

i always feel like my face gives away everything i'm thinking

seeing it on a page like this is...

what was i laughing at when you saw this? it looks like a memory. it was a happy one?

[manuscripture]

I don't remember one-hundred percent. I wish I knew which bad one-liner it was...

[starmark]

seriously

i look like this when i'm laughing at one of my own jokes

[manuscripture]

You do. You have the biggest smile even with all of the teeth.

I like that one because I don't see it that often. You laugh at your jokes but not like that all the time.

[starmark]

i wonder what about it was so funny

...

i'll play the guitar for you if you try to make me laugh in return

[manuscripture]

If you want to laugh, you should hear me sing.

[starmark]

is that an offer?

to sing for me?

[manuscripture]

I didn't offer. I was just saying...

[starmark]

i'll play for you if you sing for me

you can pick the song, so long as it's something i stand a chance of knowing

[manuscripture]

You can pick the song. I like a challenge.

[starmark]

material girl

you like madonna right

[manuscripture]

I do like Madonna, AND that is one of my favorite songs.

I suppose we will find a minute the next time you are sitting out with your guitar.

[starmark]

well damn i wasn't trying to pick one of your favorites

it's just the first one that came to mind that you couldn't pay me enough to sing ever

[manuscripture]

I would like to hear you try.

It's a date.
