Homeless forever. Canon is The Newsroom
No. No. Absolutely not. Are you out of your fucking mind?
Yes. The answer you're looking for is yes you are. No, don't interrupt me. You decided that I should say something on this... thing... posting, tweeting, blogging... whatever it is! The point is that if I'm going to be forced to say something I'm going to damn well say it:
Yes. It's a fact that approximately 77% of the population use the internet on a regular basis and people in your age group spend about 40 hours a week on the damn thing but does that mean that I should have to be made an accomplice to this madness? I have a choice and I choose to stay as far away from this and you as possible.
[He sighs] Yes, the fact that you're attempting to keep up to date with current affairs is admirable and, though scared for my well being, I'm flattered that you watch my show. You seem to be ahead of the curve when it comes to believing some of the bullshit that people are shoveling these days but that doesn't mean that I want to be a "muse" or whatever you're calling me. And, actually, while I'm on the subject, you might want to seek professional help. Uh, I know I haven't been the, ah, most staunch supporter of the field but in your case I think it's a valid suggestion since, while it only effects about 1% of the population the fact that you believe that I and others are in your head make me wonder whether you might actually have dissociative identity disorder.
[He pauses, shaking his head as he pulls a cigarette out of his pack and lights it]
If you don't mind I actually have real work to do so why don't you just go back to your blogging or whatever it is that you're doing.

Good luck, they listen to 'no' about as well as the masses listen to actual truth.
no subject
I seem to have no problems bringing the truth to millions of viewers every night, as a matter of fact. Care to try another argument or was that all you got?
no subject
[those "la"s? totally John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt. most mature purveyor of the truth, our Hard Harry]
no subject
[He stops, realizing he's going on another righteous rant. He inclines his head at the boy]
On the air? What? Radio?
no subject
Yeah, radio. Well. Back home, it was radio. Place I'm stuck in, now, it's more like ... best way to describe it is a sorta intercom system crossed with a book. Broadcasts voice and transcribes at the same time.
omg
If I could just make a quick suggestion.
You should probably ... try not to piss off the entire Internet because they will get angry with you and Neal will have to work overtime to clean up your mess.
Right back atcha! O.O
I would much rather not be on the internet. So if I have to piss a few people off for them to vote me off the island or whatever I'm willing to take that chance.
no subject
No.
You know Mac wants you firmly on the island, Will. You're practically marooned on the island, like it or not.
no subject
If you think I'm going to sit here while some twenty-something year old girl with a bachelor's degree in sociology tells me what she wants me to do and where she wants me to go you should just leave right now because you're no use to me at all.
[Once he gets that out of his system he takes a breath, running a hand through his hair]
What am I doing? This is ridiculous. This is ridiculous. [He sighs] For that matter what are you doing here? Don't tell me you've been sucked into this delusion, too.
no subject
Will. Will. I'm sure that she's a very nice girl and her bachelor's degree says nothing bad about her character and I'm just trying--
( Nope. He doesn't know why he bothers trying to explain himself when Will's on one of his tirades. )
Me? Uh... Good question...? Apparently, I'm being told, I'm on a quest to shed my title of Ultimate Nice Guy™ Jim Harper. Other than that? No idea. I'd say that's a fairly ... admirable goal.
no subject
"Ultimate Nice Guy?" Wow that's... uh that's some quest.
[Excuse him while he tries not to laugh... tries being the operative word.]
no subject
Jim just gives a casual shrug of his shoulders. )
I don't know. She keeps going on and on about how my character is a thousand times more interesting when I'm not trying to impress a girl.
... I'm not even going to talk about the Romney thing.
no subject
Ah yes the Romney thing which, I'm told, happened because why?
[He pauses a moment, eyebrows raised as if waiting for an answer. But SURPRISE he's not actually waiting for one and plows right ahead not even caring if Jim's actually planning on saying something.]
Because you were trying to impress a girl.
no subject
( For shame. He hangs his head briefly, almost embarrassed by the whole debacle. But ... at least he's dating Hallie now? So that's kind of good? Maybe? )
She's a very nice girl. If that gets me any points.
( Which he highly doubts. )
no subject
[He pauses, thinking for a moment.]
Whatever happened to that other girl? [He waves a hand] Laura. [... that's Lisa, Will. But hey at least he's trying to be social and care.]
no subject
( He's certainly not going to go there with the whole Lisa-Maggie thing. Especially now that it's more like the Lisa-Maggie-Hallie thing. Ugh. )
no subject
no subject
It's ... definitely Lisa.
