Why don't you tell me more about yourself. I just want to hear more about you. Me, too....

Nick Everson: [he writes in an online chat] Why don't you tell me more about yourself. I just want to hear more about you.
Abbey Lawrence: [she writes] Me, too. You first.
Nick Everson: [he writes] I don't know where to start. I guess you could say I'm someone who hasn't quite figured out where home is yet.
Abbey Lawrence: [she writes] Home is Boston. My parents had me when they were older, though, and now they're retired and living on the other side of the country, which I hate. It makes me feel really lonely sometimes. But I'm lucky. I have an aunt here in town and I absolutely cherish her. I have always wondered what it would be like to have a sister. I know I would have loved it.
Nick Everson: [he writes] I got lucky. I have one, and she's a gem.
Abbey Lawrence: [she writes] What's been your favorite trip?
Nick Everson: [he writes] Fly fishing in Patagonia. You?
Abbey Lawrence: [she writes] The aunt I told you about, she took me to Paris for a week after I graduated from high school. I'll never forget it.
Nick Everson: [he writes] I can knit. My mom taught me. I'm crazy about dogs. It kills me not to have one. But it doesn't make sense for me to have one right now.
Abbey Lawrence: [she writes] I get it. I can't wait to have one. And I want it to be an older dog. When I see those faces at a shelter, the ones with the sprays of white on their muzzles, they're so beautiful. I just know they have a story to tell, and you can see how much they would love to be loved again. I can't believe it's Sunday night already. Talking to you has made the weekend fly right by
