Waiting tables is such a downer.

Beats diggin' ditches?

[circlethefringe.livejournal.com]

Especially since I'm kinda skinny for that kind of work...

[reluctantdagny.livejournal.com]

*Laughs.* Ah reckon it would build muscles an' character.

[circlethefringe.livejournal.com]

I got plenty of character, I think, and muscles... eh. I've done all right without them so far...

[reluctantdagny.livejournal.com]

Lots ah people get by witout both it seems. Ain't known ya long, but ya seem ta have some character in ya.

[circlethefringe.livejournal.com]

I guess being a single father does that to you.

[reluctantdagny.livejournal.com]

Ah! How old is ya boy or girl?

[circlethefringe.livejournal.com]

Boy. He'll be seven months soon.

[reluctantdagny.livejournal.com]

Dat's ah sweet age, learnin' everyt'ing an' still so small. What's his name?

[circlethefringe.livejournal.com]

It's a great age. He's very... smiley.

His name's Matthias, but I just call him Matty. It's... shorter.

[reluctantdagny.livejournal.com]

*Grins.* Ah bet, got ah lot ta be smiley 'bout. Matty is ah fine name, an' easier ta swallow. What's ya name, ah'm Dagny!

[circlethefringe.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it seems to suit him a bit better. My name's Gabriel. Nice to meet you!

[reluctantdagny.livejournal.com]

Niceta meetcha ta! Where do ya an' ya son reside?

[circlethefringe.livejournal.com]

We're in New York City at the moment, but I don't know how long that'll last. It's so expensive.

[reluctantdagny.livejournal.com]

Coo! Don't I know it! Everyt'ing costs an arm an' ah leg! It ain't gonna get cheaper neither. It's gotta be hard for ya, raisin' ah son an' workin' like ya do. Don't know how ya do it.

[circlethefringe.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I haven't been here long. I'm already kinda struggling, though, so I guess I should find a better job. The lady down the hall watches Matty while I'm working and doesn't charge me, I guess cause she misses her grandkids. Still. It's hard.

[reluctantdagny.livejournal.com]

Well dat's lucky fer ya dat ya can have someone dat nice lookin' afta Matty. Ah know it might sound odd, but ah'll help anyway ah can. Sometimes ah get lucky. Gah, ah always feel like ah'm sayin' de wrong t'ings.

[circlethefringe.livejournal.com]

Hey, if you know of anywhere that pays more than waiting tables at a diner, that would be a huge help...

[reluctantdagny.livejournal.com]

Actually, ah do. Ya ain't got ah criminal record do ya?

[circlethefringe.livejournal.com]

Nope, not even a traffic ticket. I... probably can't pass a drug test, though.

[reluctantdagny.livejournal.com]

*Winces.* Dat might be ah problem, but ah'll see. Ever work as ah Croupier? Got a club ya might be good fer, de money is good.

What are ya on?

[writer-sam.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it. I'm hoping at least that you don't have to deal with guys grabbing your ass all the time.

[circlethefringe.livejournal.com]

Can't say that's happened to me yet.

Can't say I really want it to either, but I don't know that I'm in much danger of that.

[writer-sam.livejournal.com]

Believe me, I don't want it either. Why aren't you in danger of that? I'm sure your ass isn't that bad.

[circlethefringe.livejournal.com]

Nah, my family is mostly Irish, so my butt is kind of concave.
