RALPH: Adjusts shirt Can you believe it? Her art show. Why am I here?
Appaikil
She's your ex.
Ugh, what's the point of even trying, anyway? My ex thought I was too chubby to be loved...
Appaikil
Wait.. you dont like being chubby?
Why would you say that?! It's not that I don't like being chubby, it's that my ex didn't!
Appaikil
Calm down. Why did she break up with you then?
Because she thought I was too fat and unattractive. And she was probably right... Still, I'm better looking than most of her other exes!
Appaikil
Well, some men are into skinnier girls. And some aren't.
Yeah, well, I guess she was into the skinny type. But who cares? If you ask me, the hottest girls are ones with a little meat on their bones.
Appaikil
That's true.
Yeah, it's a shame she couldn't see that. But screw her, right? She didn't deserve me anyway. I'm a catch, even if I do say so myself.
Appaikil
Why are you here again?
Right, so after my ex left me, I kind of went off the rails, emotionally speaking. But I'm better now. I've been seeing a therapist.
Appaikil
Ah good. Anything else?
Yeah, I've also been taking fitness classes and eating healthier. It's been tough, but I think it's worth it.
Appaikil
That's good.
Yeah, it is. And hey, I've got my hobbies to keep me busy. I'm really into playing guitar and collecting vintage comic books.
Appaikil
Cool hobbies.
Yeah, people say I've got talent...but have you seen my guitar skills? It's all just noise, man. Still better than those cat owners who think their pets are artists too...
Appaikil
Cats can be quite creative with knocking stuff over.
Oh, you have no idea. I used to live with this lady who had like five of the damn things. They were such a pain.
Appaikil
Well, i like them.
Yeah, well, they're not for everyone. But hey, more power to you if they're your thing.
Appaikil
So, what else is there to know about you?
Well, as I said, I'm a bit of a guitar hobbyist. I've even played a few gigs at local bars. And I won this one talent show back in the day.
Appaikil
Nice.
Yeah, it was a small time thing, but I still brag about it. And hey, why not? Gotta make myself look good somehow, right?
Appaikil
Also, I'm guessing you hate crowded places because of that talent show win?
Nah, not really. I just hate crowded places in general. Give me a quiet night in any day, though.
Appaikil
Good.
Yeah, it's just not my scene, you know? I'd rather stay home and watch TV or read a comic book than be out in a crowded place.
Appaikil
I feel the same way.
Yeah, it's like people just don't understand that sometimes. They always try to push you to go along with the crowd and all that. But hey, if being weird means being happy, then screw it, right?
