This is a converstaion I just had with an old friend from elementary school.
Her: Sarah Lee! How are you?
Me: I am fine, how about you?
Her: Pretty good haven’t seen you in years. I heard your engaged
Me: That’s good, yes I am.
Her: wow good for you congratulations
Me: Thank you.
Her: So when is the big day? Can me and my boyfriend come? Haha jk girl
Me: It was going to be this September but due to medical reasons we pushed it back to April 2011. We are very excited.
Her: Is everythiong okay?
Me: Yeah were fine, my epilepsy has become active again so I have been put on major restrictions for the next few months. I have dr appointments every other week and blood work 3 times a week. I can no longer work in my current position and have been forced to take a new position. So were just taking things one day at a time unti things are straighteened out.
Her: Oh man I remember when you used to take seizure at ******** they were scarey dude
Me: hah yeah its been ten years since my last one until recently.
Her: well that sucks so can we come to your wedding? lol
Me: We haven’t exactly hashed out a guest list yet. We still have quite awhile before we begin even thinking about that yet.
Her: well whats two extra people
Me: My venue has a limited seating arrangement so we are trying to focus on famiy first and then invite accordingly.
Her: I be ooking forward to my invite 
Her: So what does your fiance do for a iving?
Me: He is a tattoo artist at ******* ***, he is manager and he recently made partners.
Her: oh im sorry hun

Her: wel that must be tough with him not having a real job and all
Me: excuse me?
Her: I cant help but to think of the term starving artist haha
Me: Thank you for your concern but we are far from starving
Her: I just mean the money cant be that good. Mark my boyfriend has just gotten a promotion at **** **** he is head of oi l changes departmnet. He makes like 1200 a month now
Me: Please congratulate your boyfriend on his promotion for me. I am actually on my way out though; it was nice talking to you.
Her: yeah hope everything gets better for you maybe the 4 of us can go to dinner our treat
Me: Our schedules have been crazy lately, I am afraid we won’t have time but thank you for the offer.
I was amazed that 'real' people like this existed.
I was almost tempted to lash back with: well FI makes X amount a week, but refrained for obvious reasons. Clearly, I edited names and places for obvious reasons.
