Real IM conversations, vol. 3? 3, i think. No, fuck, it’s 4.

k: why does life have to be confounding in such silly ways
r: because it knows you like it
k: oh yes
k: i’m fucking ecstatic all the time
k: people say that about me
r: totally
r: they say “k is such a joyous fellow”
k: “wow” they say, “that k is just ecstatic, pretty much all the time.”
k: “i wonder what makes everything seem so awesome to him.”
k: my coworkers introduce me that way, in fact, in meetings
k: “this is k, he’s just ecstatic to meet you”
r: “This is k, he’s not just a member of the optimist club, he’s the founder.”
k: “I assure you, he does not hate you, or the world, or everything in it, not even in the morning.”
r: “in fact, he just got in from his morning run, when he mentioned how much he loved everyone and everything he ran past this morning”
k: “especial note was made of his total lack of murderous impulses.”
