World Domination, pt II

So, a while back, I wrote this post about a conversation Bon and I were having about taking over the world. (I would recommend reading it before reading this post, but anyway) We'd been discussing all sorts of things, but in that post, the conversation ended here:

Me: What part of actually ruling the world is less fun than a failed attempt?

Bon: It's the excitement of not knowing if you will succeed, the tension of thinking you're monsters will eat your face, then the relief as you wrest control at the last second. It's exhilarating! Or painful...

Me: I prefer the exhilaration with as little pain as possible. It that's boring, then I guess that's me!

But now I have more! Okay, I've had more for a while... The previous post was the conversation up to August 14. I'm going to post the rest of it now, which covers August 15-17. Bon and I then started talking about missions, because he left for his on August 19, and then our conversation really ended.
But! The rest of the world domination conversation:

Bon: But the fun is in the gamble! Plus if you do it enough times, maybe the heroes will get inept. Or you win, it's a win win! (unless you get killed by monsters)

Me: I suppose I can see your point... But I'd still like to stack the odds a little farther in our favour.

Bon: Fair enough...

Me: It'll be worth the wait when we rule the world.

Then the conversation moved on to that mission life and whatnot. And now he's kickin' it in Louisiana, which is wonderful.

And here's the deal. I'm seriously so glad I knew this kid. He was one of my best friends sixth grade (when I met him) through eighth grade (after which I moved from Podunk to Myneton), and reconnecting with him these last few months was awesome. He's the funny best friend I remembered, although taller... But it was so great to rekindle that bond, to get to know him again, and to realise that some friendships just... Never go away. He's seriously great.
