“At the time my cousin lived with me and we only had one shared computer in the whole house. She got up from the computer to use the bathroom and when I hopped on to check my email really quick he sent her an instant message on Myspace to say hi (they had recently become friends through a mutual friend they shared). Not wanting to leave him hanging since I knew he could see ‘she’ was online and active, I told him who I was and that I was just checking something and would let her get the computer back in a moment. Polite small talk while waiting for her to get back evolved into telling funny stories involving her and their mutual friend and then talking about anything and everything. We talked for four hours that night and pretty much haven’t stopped since.” — Stepchildofthesun
