Mike: they should be so lucky
me: ha
Mike: well
Mike: wait
Mike: are you invited?
me: im not sure
Mike: hmmm
Mike: well better find out
Mike: could be a deal breaker
me: maybe the first time so it's not awkward

Mike: it needs to be awkward
me: ok
Mike: cause its would only be awkward for them
Mike: if at all

me: we sat around playing trivial pursuit and talking about legos...so i think everyone probably would be ok
me: hahaha
Mike: purposefully making situations awkward is like leveling the playing field
Mike: ...in my favor
me: haha
Mike: takes them out of their element
