Mandy:depends on how you feel about corpses, I guess, LOL.

Josh:I notice Sue hasn't updated her page in a while

Mandy:Yeah. Don't know what's going on.

Mandy:she may have decided to go take care of her problem and just didn't tell anybody.

Mandy:Didn't think she'd skip the prom though.

Mandy:And I thought for sure she'd tell me what was happening. I'd have gone with her.

Josh:She was probably pretty stressed and panicky. Probably just forgot.

Mandy:yeah, true

Mandy:so who's the girl in the pic?

Josh:what pic?

Mandy:you had a new pic up for a while the other night. Saw it before I went to bed.

Mandy:Some girl. Looks like you got over me real quick, LOL!

Josh:hmmm…don't know what you're talking about.

Josh:I haven't changed my picture since the day I set up my account

Mandy:well, someone did.

Josh:maybe I got hacked

Mandy:maybe. The girl kinda looked like Sue.

Mandy:But I could only see the lower half of her face. Looked like she was blowing u a kiss

Josh: Can't say I know what you're talking about

Mandy:wow. Crazy.

Josh:what would be crazy would be me putting a picture of SUE as my profile image.

Mandy:yeah, that's true. She'd say you had the hots for her.

Josh:I have the hots for you, Mandy, not her. She's a pig.

Mandy:you're an oddball;-)

Mandy:and a flirt

Josh:why?

Mandy:you don't even know me

Josh:feels like I do. I've wanted you for a long time

Mandy:

Mandy:wow. I don't know what to say

Josh:Say "Josh, I can no longer resist the urge to throw myself into your arms."

Josh:"Take me away to a better place where we may be united in passion"

Josh:"the lies of which would set the very world aflame!"

Josh:or something like that

Josh:*likes* instead of *lies*, sorry

Mandy:LMAO!

Mandy:you should go into writing romance. You're good at it
