[16:26] TheGabster271: So you're my age....
[16:26] TheRealTuatara: Yes'm.
[16:26] TheGabster271: When's the b'day
[16:26] TheGabster271: ?
[16:26] TheRealTuatara: 20 in ten days.
[16:26] TheGabster271: You're OLDER than me
[16:26] TheRealTuatara: My bad?
[16:26] TheGabster271: *suddenly feels weird*
[16:27] TheGabster271: and why the frown?
[16:27] TheRealTuatara: I'm OLD.
[16:27] TheGabster271: *ish looking forward to 20*
[16:27] TheRealTuatara: I don't want to be 20.
[16:27] TheRealTuatara: I filed my taxes this year, and felt like my father while I was doing it.
[16:27] TheRealTuatara: Groooossssss....
[16:28] TheGabster271: ich
[16:28] TheRealTuatara: So...
[16:29] TheRealTuatara: Are you and Ally really close?
[16:29] TheGabster271: I filed taxes too.... and was reminded how much money I owe the government because they're paying for my schooling
[16:29] TheGabster271: Yes, Allison and I have been best friends for some time now
[16:29] TheGabster271: she's MY Allyally
[16:29] TheRealTuatara: :o
[16:29] TheRealTuatara: Of course.
[16:29] TheGabster271: (but I'll share, if you're good)
[16:30] TheRealTuatara: I'll try to be.
[16:30] TheRealTuatara: My taxes were pretty cheap this year.
[16:30] TheRealTuatara: I only owe about $300 luckily.
[16:32] TheGabster271: that's not so bad
[16:32] TheGabster271: my bf got a huge return
[16:32] TheGabster271: I don't know why
[16:32] TheRealTuatara: Weird.
[16:32] TheRealTuatara: I wish I got a huge return.
[16:33] TheRealTuatara: I'm suddenly poor because I spent about $9000 last month. x.x
[16:33] TheRealTuatara: I have like...no money in the bank.
[16:34] TheGabster271: How do you manage to spend that much in a month?
[16:34] TheRealTuatara: Hm...
[16:34] TheRealTuatara: $5000 on a new car.
[16:34] TheRealTuatara: $1800 for student loans.
[16:34] TheRealTuatara: (I'm paying them off early before interest kicks my ass)
[16:34] TheRealTuatara: And about $1200 for my Spring Break, and to come see Ally.
[16:35] TheRealTuatara: Not including gas and food for last month too.
[16:35] TheRealTuatara: Oh well. I haven't turned in my timesheets where I work for about 3 months now, so I've got a fat check coming
[16:35] TheRealTuatara: Oh, and I've got insurance money from my old car coming too.
[16:36] TheRealTuatara: So it's not like I'm some broke college kid.
[16:36] TheRealTuatara: Although I sorta am...
[16:36] TheRealTuatara: Let's talk about you.
[16:37] TheGabster271: Okay
[16:37] TheGabster271: Ummmm
[16:37] TheRealTuatara: Um...
[16:37] TheGabster271: I AM a poor college kid
[16:37] TheGabster271: but that's because dan and I just bought my harp off of my mother
[16:37] TheGabster271: we haven't recovered from the 8000-something that it cost us
[16:38] TheRealTuatara: Wait...
[16:38] TheGabster271: I work at Starbucks and on campus
[16:38] TheRealTuatara: $8000 harp?
[16:38] TheRealTuatara: Wow.
[16:38] TheGabster271: It was more than that initially... but i had it paid down to about 8400
[16:38] TheRealTuatara: Why?!
[16:39] TheGabster271: Because I wanted it..... it was mine when I lived with my mother, then I moved out and she said if i wanted to have it in my new place I needed to pay her for it
[16:39] TheRealTuatara: She wouldn't give you your harp?
[16:39] TheGabster271: it was an investment for her
[16:39] TheGabster271: cost her a lot of money a few years ago
[16:40] TheGabster271: and she needed some return on that
[16:40] TheRealTuatara: I guess.
[16:40] TheRealTuatara: But what a shitty thing to do to your own kid. :/
[16:40] TheRealTuatara: Knowing they have college loans.
[16:40] TheGabster271: the payments were low.... 100 a month....
[16:40] TheGabster271: I doubled it when I started working at Sbux
[16:41] TheRealTuatara: That doesn't make it better.
[16:41] TheRealTuatara: Oh well, I should shush.
[16:41] TheRealTuatara: It's not my business.
[16:41] TheGabster271: *shrugs*
[16:41] TheGabster271: most people feel the same way you do
[16:41] TheGabster271: I think it's pretty shitty too.... but I knew I'd have to buy it off of her eventually
[16:41] TheGabster271: it was expensive
[16:41] TheGabster271: and she isn't really affluent
[16:42] TheRealTuatara: I've heard.
[16:47] TheGabster271: I actually have to go now
[16:47] TheRealTuatara: :(
[16:47] TheGabster271: yeah... time to head home
[16:47] TheRealTuatara: Well...I'll see you around, Gabrielle.
[16:47] TheGabster271: we'll talk again though
[16:47] TheGabster271: alrighty
[16:47] TheRealTuatara: Have a nice drive.
[16:47] TheRealTuatara: Or...trip.
[16:47] TheRealTuatara: A good evening either way.
[16:47] TheGabster271: subway
[16:47] TheGabster271: trip
[16:47] TheGabster271: yes
[16:48] TheGabster271: you too
