WINSTON: the cool thing about green hornet is that everyone thinks hes a bad guy, so he gets to infiltrate the bad guys and then stop them. hes this rich guy who owns a newspaper who wants to do good. you know?
EVE: A good vigilante
WINSTON: yes! exactly! he also has a really cool car. like the batmobile. ha sorry I could talk about this stuff forever. tell me eve stuff
EVE: Hmmm. I’m really into poetry these days? Oh my gosh it’s so embarrassing
WINSTON: no its not! its cool. but im not so good at that kind of stuff.
i think science is kinda like poetry tho
EVE: How so?
WINSTON: i dunno it sounded smart lol
EVE: haha. I mean, they’re both about finding answers to things. I think. Or trying to.
WINSTON: yeah! and people think theyre hard to understand, but i think once you really get into them, theyre a lot easier than they seem
EVE: Sooo true!
WINSTON: ok so what’s your favorite poem
EVE: k I’ll send you a link but don’t laugh—“The Soul unto itself” by Emily Dickinson
WINSTON: ok im not gonna lie i dont get it but ill keep trying
EVE: ☺ It’s ok
WINSTON: there was this one famous writer a long time ago who thought of himself as a scientist. august strindberg, have you heard of him?
I dont think he wrote poems tho
EVE: What did he discover?
WINSTON: nothing. he thought plants had nervous systems so he walked around with a syringe full of morphine and hed inject apples and stuff to try to prove his theory haha his theory was not correct
fun science fact for you i got lots of em
see this kind of thing is why I got beat up all the time in 5 grade haha
EVE: So what happened to you back then???
WINSTON: I mean I only actually got punched once
EVE: What?!?!
WINSTON: im really just mad they broke my ornithopter
EVE: your huh?
WINSTON: sigh. here we go … it was this flying contraption made by da vinci?
so caleb and i worked on this for months, making our own
brought it to school one day
and i guess that was the day a bunch of the other kids decided i was punchable
EVE: omg!
WINSTON: a loser
they broke the ornithopter and punched me a few times
a piece of my glasses actually sliced under my eye. you can still see the scar
wasnt that bad tho
EVE: it sounds bad!
WINSTON: Caleb stopped them. We grew up on the same block and all that ya know
EVE: that’s like me and Nessa
WINSTON: I guess. Except Nessa is still cool
EVE: she’s a huge nerd haha like me
WINSTON: I mean she’s still nice. Super nice. Caleb is … ya know …
brodys friend
EVE: I’m sorry. I can’t imagine Nessa changing like that. I mean, we’re really different and sometimes that’s hard, but still
WINSTON: now he just texts rose and watches stupid videos online all day
EVE: ugh I’m sorry
WINSTON: sorry this is probably boring
EVE: it’s not! Sometimes I think Nessa thinks I’m. I don’t know
WINSTON: what
EVE: too sensitive. She’s probably right
WINSTON: i think its good to be sensitive
EVE: maybe. And she can be too NOT sensitive sometimes
WINSTON: hey can I see some of your poems?
EVE: how’d you know I write my own???
WINSTON: I just figured
EVE: omg no I don’t show anyone
WINSTON: please!
EVE: maybe …
