My eBay account got suspended.

I have not used eBay in awhile so I guess I don't know the proper protocol for someone outbidding you for a cursed doll. Cursed with either a violent curse or a child's soul. The seller didn't specify.

It is not proper etiquette to e-mail the person you were bidding against and ask them to sell it to you rather than use it for their BuzzFeed article. Or let them be aware that you were honestly hoping it had some soul trapped in it to give it to friends in the hope that it will come to life in the middle of the night to do whatever cursed dolls do.

Who knew. I thought we were both cursed doll enthusiasts.

I guess we die together, then.

Rip.

[ohrlyeh]

i'd prefer that over one or the other dying, honestly

[livingimpaired]

Then, it's settled.
Please don't back out of our decision and try to be selfless to save me.
I'll be quite upset.

[ohrlyeh]

you have to promise to do the same too

[livingimpaired]

[ But it would be kind of funny-- ]

Fine.

[ohrlyeh]

good

i'm glad

[livingimpaired]

We should get matching gravestones.
"Killed by the Abyss."
Or is that too much?

[ohrlyeh]

that is probably a bit too much

though i don't have any better ideas honestly

[livingimpaired]

... ah, hold on.
I believe my father would actually muster up the means of feeling disappointed in me within the afterlife, if I were to do that, Howard.

So, I think that I shouldn't.

[ohrlyeh]

well can't you find a different afterlife or something

[livingimpaired]

Sadly, my father and I are both Catholic.
I'm going to the same afterlife.

[ohrlyeh]

well i'm not catholic so i guess this means i would be going to a different afterlife than you so

that makes our whole plan worthless i guess

it was a good idea while it lasted

[livingimpaired]

I could always help you convert.
I wouldn't want you to be alone.

[ohrlyeh]

i'm afraid i'm not the type to believe in god

it just seems beyond my abilities to imagine someone who is in control of everything

the way things happen it seems like there's nothing out there at all

[livingimpaired]

There is always a reason, Howard.
I realize that sounds like fluff, but it is what I believe.
It allows me to say that your life has meaning, after all.
Because otherwise, it would mean there is nothing that allowed you to exist.
And I don't think that is fair to assume or believe.

[ohrlyeh]

the universe is random, kei, it's too much of a stretch to say that there's meaning in it

in my opinion we're just specks of dust. we live in the moment but the world will not miss us when we are gone. the universe will not miss us

can god really keep track of billions of people who live and die on this earth every day?

[livingimpaired]

Yes.

[ohrlyeh]

what interest would god have in a bunch of creatures who live and die in the blink of an eye

[livingimpaired]

Love, of course.
You could see one billion cats upon the earth.
Does that mean that you would not track them all?

I am not too pleased I have to use such an analogy.
But I feel like that will have you best understand.

[ohrlyeh]

well its different with cats because cats are perfect creatures

meanwhile human beings are not and not worth looking after

[??????]

[livingimpaired]

Not to God.

But I've honestly never tried to convert anyone.
It was only an idle comment about having you convert.
And I feel a little embarrassed for having taken it so far.
All the same, I think you would be the patron saint of cats, Howard.

[ohrlyeh]

its fine

i didn't know your faith meant so much to you

and i'd like to be that :) it would be nice

[livingimpaired]

I know.
I don't let people know how much it means to me.
Not just because it would make anyone uncomfortable, but I feel it is personal to me.
So I guard it rather selfishly.

I thought that you would like it, too. :)

[ohrlyeh]

well even if i dn't share the same beliefs as you, i can respect that

i do think it's good to believe in something over not believing in anything at all

like i may not believe in god, but i do believe in cats :)
