Am I not allowed to be curious?

I was trying to enjoy talking about a vacation and you dragged Josuke into it.

[starmark]

i'm not really an expert on married couples. most of the ones i've known actually spend a lot of time apart.

tell me more about the vacation then. tell me what you'd do and what i'd do, while we were on it.

[manuscripture]

Neither do I.

Anyway, you never told me where you would like to visit. I would prefer to have legs and a normal body temperature again so I can actually enjoy sunbathing. I don't miss my chronic sunburn.

We can do the looking for dolphins thing.

[starmark]

oh

...i mean i guess florida would be cool to visit but you've already been there

maybe california that's where my mom's grandma lives

[manuscripture]

Surprisingly I have never been to California. America doesn't offer me a whole lot.

I like Italy and Spain the most, really.

[starmark]

i've never been to either

italy might be interesting though my grandmother is native italian so my mom's a half and i guess that makes me like...a quarter? or something

[manuscripture]

Mister Joestar is your grandfather and Josuke's father. You two have quite the diverse family tree.

I wouldn't have guessed.

[starmark]

yeah

and since josuke's mom is japanese that means jiji cheated on my grandma somewhere along the way so the next time i see him i'm gonna have to beat his fucking face in

they live in new york most of the time though, mom's the one who moved to japan with my dad

so mom's american italian and i'm a half

...

japanese, i mean

[manuscripture]

He isn't really right in the head anymore at home. I think you would literally kill him.

That might not look so good.

Still, having a wide range in a bloodline can be fun to dig into.

My family and I are not close. We haven't been for a very long time.

[starmark]

he hasn't been right in the head for fifty years or more

i think you mentioned that once, yeah, you moved away as soon as you could or something?

[manuscripture]

I did.

There are times where I think that it might have been a mistake but I never spent much time with them to begin with. They were more keen on dumping me on my grandmother.

If they were distraught over it, they might call. I've moved around so much I am not sure they know where I am anymore.

It's better this way.

[starmark]

what was your grandmother like?

[manuscripture]

She was a nice lady. She ran an inn I used to like visiting. Dignified without being frumpy. A little bossy.

As grandmothers typically are.

What about your mother? You mentioned her... when we met I think.

[ like when jotaro asked if she died and he was like ?????? ]

[starmark]

...

you know that girl anna? the princess

she's a lot like that. loud and annoying and too optimistic and nosy and doesn't know when to leave well enough alone. she hides things that are wrong so that she's not bothering anyone else. she sings while she does chores. my best friend once said that if he ever got married he'd want to marry someone like her. he said she's a person who makes other people feel at ease.

you know how some people are just...

good?

that's mom. she's not like normal people. she's too good for that.

[manuscripture]

I can see how you take after her.

[starmark]

...what?

i'm nothing like my mom

i just got done telling you how different she is

[manuscripture]

Are you really convinced that you are not a good person?

[starmark]

not good like that

i'm not good like a fucking...sings to the birds and they sing back princess, or something

[manuscripture]

Please don't sing to the birds here.

Play your guitar at them. You are good at that.

[ play it directly at the birds so they go away. ]

[starmark]

i'd sooner play it at you

you're not getting tired of tears for fears and the rolling stones, are you

[manuscripture]

You can keep playing it at me.

Do you have more in your repertoire or is that all you've got?

[starmark]

well

i don't know anything from after 1987 really

but in my defense that's because it doesn't exist yet

[manuscripture]

More bands existed than Tears For Fears and The Rolling Stones.

Consider: Paul McCartney, The Velvet Underground, The Kinks, Billy Joel. Guns 'n Roses had a thing for ballads in the mid to late 80's when they dropped Appetite for Destruction. Use Your Illusion II from 1991 was my favorite album if I had to pick.

[ obligatory Jojos Know About Music. ]

[starmark]

well

you've got better taste than one of my friends

every time we let him pick the radio he'd always go looking for madonna

or blondie

fucking BLONDIE

[manuscripture]

Blondie?

Blondie never should have had an album after Parallel Lines. Your friend's taste was God awful.

Madonna still has a huge following back at home for being avant garde and frankly a little risque for the media. I don't think she is someone I have disliked.

Blondie is not forgivable. I'm sorry to have to say that.
