Visions Of Peace

Rose:  Sheila, I've been thinking about that chat we had last week, you know, about becoming monks and stuff.  Anyway, I've decided, its a great idea.  Lets do it. 

Sheila: Oh ya?  Am...I'm kinda over that now..

Rose:  What? How come?  I think it was a great idea.  Imagine if all the people were like monks....totally into peace.  You know I heard a story once about a boy in a far off land and he was great and did peace on everyone.  Once he saved a goat and then he brought some grapes to an island community cause they had no grapes, but there was no bridge to get to the island so he swam and kept the grapes on his head in a bio-degradable plastic bag so they would stay dry for when he offered the grapes to the indigenous island people.

Sheila: Wowsers.  Sounds rapid.  You planning on doing something like that then?

Rose:  ....well, no, but other people could, you know, other good people.

Sheila:  I appreciate your honesty.

Rose:  I know you do.  That's why we are friends.  Veritable friends.

Sheila: I have a new great idea.  Let's do our creative multimedia programming homework for Professor John, captain of the media.

Rose: LET'S DO IT.

Contentment like.....you know? Sheila and Rose

Sheila: Rosemary petal.  I'm sick to death of this creative multimedia programming project.  I've been staring at the computer for about 20 minutes now, which may sound like nothing, but relative to a nano second - which is the amount of time it takes to fall in love - it's a pretty long time. I could have fallen in love at least 25 times in the last 20 minutes if my calculations are correct.  I think I'm going blind. Can you get snow blindness from a computer screen?  You know...cause the screen is white like - like the snow.  You ever hear of any cases?  I'm seeing white dots here.  Seriously.

Rose:  Nope, ain't heard of any cases yet. Take a break from the screen sure. Your poor eyes need a break. Give em a mini holidays - a trip to Santa Ponsa for a few minutes.

Sheila: Aahh yes, ol' Santa Ponsa eyes. Where's that picture of George Clooney?  I'll look at that for a few minutes, that will be a nice holiday for my peepers.

Rose: I don't know where that picture is, there's a picture of him in the back of the RTE guide for sure though, I saw it yesterday.

S: We have the RTE guide?

R: Ya my mother bought it for me the last time she was here.  She was going on about the loss of tradition and culture in society these days, so she bought that and left it here for us....some sort of mini cultural revolution I guess.  She's really stickin' it to the internet.

S: I love your mother, she's great.  Thats feicin well it.  Im reading the RTE guide.  If your mother wants to start an RTE guide revolution, tell her I'll join her army.  I can make the uniforms, your Mom can make the sandwiches, your dad...what can he do?

R: uuhhh.......do the accounts for something?  He can keep the receipts for the sandwiches!  CAPTAIN OF THE RECEIPTS!

S: We're joining the army! Perfect, just bloody well perfect.  Anything will be better than this creative multimedia programming project.

R: For reals Sheils.

S:  Ya know Rose.  Sometimes like, well, ya' know, it would be nice to be like, well, content like.  Contentment.  That's what I want.  Ya' know, like the guys in the orange throws...

R: The monks?

S: Ya! Thats what I want!

R: Grand, I know what to get you for Christmas so.  Are you a small or a medium?

Sprinkly or Still? Lizzy & Nelly

Lizzy: Neeeeeeeellleeeeeeeyyyyyyy!..I think this is it, I've got the feeling.  just letting you know.  If you're wondering why I'm extra upbeat, which you probers are....[awaits response from Nel]

Nelly: [silence, as she reads her hard back old book - pages browned around the edges - (which is hip(ish))]

Lizzy:  Ahem, cough cough.  Excuse me Nel, did you hear my 'cough cough' and what I just said?

Nelly:  Ya Liz, I heard you there.  Great news.

L: And what news is that?

N: I heard the news you just gave me....that you have 'the feeling' and are upbeat.  sounds great...and pretty vague.

L: Well, are you not going to ASK ME??

N: Liz, I don't wanna get into you giving me the vague message routine and I have to keep asking you questions  to draw the story out of you.  OK?  I'm either gonna read my book OR ELSE, you can feel free to tell me your good news without me INTERVIEWING YOU!  So go ahead and SPIT. IT OUT.

L: Geez, NOT IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE LIKE THAT ABOUT IT.

N: ok ok ok....come on, tell me then, what goin on?

L:  You wanna know?

N: Course I bleedin well do, c'mon. This book is boring anyway.  Its about people doing stuff in the past, which will bear no impression on the future for anyone who reads it.

L: Wha?

N: Nothin, c'mon, tell me.

L:  OK.  So, i was on Tinder last night, havin the browseathon, you know, and who do I see? Only the guy we met at that last party we were at, remember? He had a nice shirt AND that cool keyring thing! I'm pretty sure he's the ONE.  Well, OK, the 2, as in the 2 in 10....OK, maybe the 10, like the 10 in 400.  How can we best judge the numbers here Nel?

N: The guy with the job?  Ya I remember, well he was 1 of 6 at that party, but on Tinder is he like 1 in 100,000? I don't know....who cares about the numbers anyway?

L: Well I DO.  If you're gonna get the dating game right then you have to know the numbers, the STATS NELLY, how else are you supposed to win if you cant crunch numbers and understand probabilities?

N:  Hmmm, OK Liz.

L: All this maths is making me thirsty.  You thirsty?  I'm getting some water. Want some?

N: Sure ya, thanks.

L: You want sprinkly or still?

N: Sprinkly...... haha....... as in SPARKLING?

L: Yaaaaaa MS KNOW ALL THE CORRECT TERMS FOR THINGS, jesus, are you thirsty or not?

N: Sorry Nel, ya, make mine a sprinkler then!

L: We're actually out of fizzy, here is a glass of tap water with a straw, blow some bubbles in that and fizz it up yourself Ms thirsty knickers.
