What do you think makes you good with people?

I am good with my words, and I just get people, even when they share a different perspective from my own. I am able to converse with most anyone I wish to even if I find them infuriating and I enjoy being around others!

I'm also just a natural, when it really comes down to it.

Oh, that’s […] I mean […] Is that even legal? Like, you have more than two parents […] I guess, as long as you pay your taxes, that should be fine. Not really a fan of dads. Or moms. But As long as they’re good to you, that’s the only thing that should matter. An archeologist in Mongolia? That sounds very impressive. You must be proud. New York’s fine, I guess, but nothing really beats White Crest. The hustle and bustle is no match for the quiet peace we all get here. What will you be studying? We also have a university here in town, and it’s pretty good. 

Well, I don’t know about that. Lies can be very helpful, especially the white ones. Grades can be overrated. Lots of really impressive folks out there who never had good grades is all I’m saying. That, we can both agree on. Especially if someone’s with you under that blanket, right? Ignore that last part if you’re a minor. Wait until marriage and all that jazz.

.

Yes, same sex marriage has been legal in Maine since 2012. Also, I do have more than two, but my first set of dads got divorced. Got an annoying step-brother with my new father, which I’d gladly give up but I also am only nineteen, and newly that, so I’ve never had to pay taxes before, given the whole ‘my dad can still claim me as a dependent and I’m not employed full time’ deal. Yes, and it is impressive. My dads are impressive and they raised me to do my best to be impressive, too. Oh - well, I’ve finished up my first year here at the university in town. Even though it would’ve been nice to go to like, Princeton or Wellesley or something Study abroad as in go somewhere like Oxford and study there for a semester.

I mean, I don’t think so. They’re a good indicator of success, and there’s plenty of impressive folks who had wonderful grades. There’s even Hollywood actors who have multiple college degrees. I’m nineteen. So not really a minor but that’s weird to say to a stranger I mean, sometimes I don’t want to share, so we might have to agree to disagree on that. I don’t think people should be forced to wait until marriage. I think that should be up to each individual person, and what suits them best.

[pm] I meant it in a “don’t care about what others think of your cat” way, not in a “don’t care about people” way. Although really, don’t. You are aware that the things you’re told as a kid are not necessarily true? And, I’m sorry but many people do not have a purpose. Mimes, for instance? Absolutely worthless. People who buy NFTs? Same thing. The inventor of the word “jorts”. Same thing. Although really, you have to ask yourself : do we need to have a purpose in life? What if the purpose is the pursuit of happiness? That’s not productive, is it? This being said: fuck mimes.

Oh, please. The last guy I tried wanted me to join his cult. He made some solid, valid points but I’m not sure I want to commit to that;

[pm] That makes sense, but I think it can be applied towards both. Maybe? Not that I don’t care about people, I care about people a lot. Too much sometimes, maybe, but only like with regard to what they’ll think of me and Oh yeah, I know. Like the whole tooth fairy thing? Though getting money for a part of growing up wasn’t bad. Mimes confuse me. NFTs are stupid and a waste of people’s money. Jorts? I mean -- yeah no, I can’t come up with a way to defend that person. Some invented words aren’t bad but that one just implies poor fashion choices which is double ick. I think you can be happy but also successful. I think people need to try at things in life, personally.

Yes, mimes should buzz off.

Well I am not part of a cult. I’m not going to try and make you join anything or sign up for anything. Just give you some basics on plants. How does that sound?

I hate that it kinda makes sense. At least for pizza. Hm. Could be. Sometimes I don’t get jokes, so I figured it might be the case. Yeah, maybe the problem’s that people want to classify everything, when they should just… be. Why’s that?

.

Why would you hate that something makes sense? That confuses me. Oh - that’s okay! Not everyone gets jokes all the time, and some are nuanced in really weird ways, so I get it. Oh! Yeah, but classifications help us to make sense of things, and those classifications can change and stuff but it’s nice to have, otherwise how would grocery stores or department stores be organized? 

The new thing? I like to think outside of the box, that’s all.

alan-dixon​:

That was my point. Who cares about others?

Annabelle? Like the… doll?

Alan Dixon. I’ll let you know when you can pick those up.

[pm] Moving this to private messages because, you know, reputation. Well, aren’t we supposed to care about everyone? “Everyone has a purpose, Annabelle.” That’s what I’ve been told ever since I was little. 

Pleasure to meet you. Thanks so much!! I can give you some plant advice, if you want? I’m not a botanist by any means, but I have kept plants alive.

ironcladrhett​:

Fair enough. Just be aware they don’t approach you while you ain’t paying attention. Kids with their airpods these days… won’t hear shit sneaking up on you.

Sound like a smart kid. Good, world needs more of those. Hope my own got a better IQ score than me

.

I do tend to blast music sometimes How did you No, you’re just assuming Right, of course! Thanks for the tip, I do tend to try and be as aware of my surroundings as possible.

I like to think so, and my grades would say so, so I’m glad it comes across online, too!!! I’d agree, the world does need more smart people.

Do you prefer caffeinated teas or herbal? I want to recommend something I’m sure you’ll like. For caffeinated, my favorites are the rose black tea and the ginger lemon green tea. As far as herbal blends, I like the lavender/orange peel and ginger clove lemon blends best. 

.

It depends on my mood - all of those sound wonderful. Do you have any with cinnamon flavoring that you’d recommend? I also might like to get some for my dad. He’s big on herbal tea, especially spearmint.

Why does everyone care about bugs so much Fine, they’re super duper redeemable. Bugs are great. I’m just not a huge fan of the ones with no legs.

.

There’s not lots without legs. I mean, I’m not about to go and like, befriend a bunch of bugs, but I figure, why not let them do their thing?

An activist seems much more up my alley. Good suggestion.

.

They tend to be good at getting things done. Of course! Glad you liked my suggestion. I only want to help. 

[covetedclarity]

I’d love to try some! Which sort would you recommend most? The only sort of tea I haven’t really liked was a blueberry flavored one.

For anyone who enjoys loose-leaf teas, I have a number of homegrown and made tea blends leftover from this months harvest of tea leaves, herbs, and florals. If you’d like to give them a try, stop by the community garden anytime in the afternoon. 

[covetedclarity]

A lawyer might be your best bet? Or an environmental activist, since it’s a nature place??

Does anyone know how to stop estates from going on sale? Dark Score is perfect the way it is but I see so many for sale signs.

I’m sure you are. Either way, I prefer having company anyway. I look forward to it, too. Right? Bahn mi tacos are some of my favorites. And now I’ve made myself hungry so there’s that. Weird, nice, wildly entertaining. Internet is the new cable so you’re not wrong there. Good. 

The grumpy ones are anyway. I’ll probably invite both of my favorite grumps. Emilio is the grump that’s my boss. Kaden is the grump but in French. And the only one I’d let in the kitchen. That man makes the best pies hands down. They actually freeze well if you ever wanna do a big batch to have for breakfast throughout the week. Or a snack. Depends on the vibe.

Great! Thanks, I’m glad you look forward to it. Oh? I’ve never had those. They sound amazing though. Tacos in general are pretty fantastic, I have to say. I think I’ve also managed to make myself hungry. I mean, I can’t remember a time without it, but my dads like to say the back in my day spiel sometimes. Excellent. 

That sounds excellent. I like to think I can handle anyone, even grumps. Ooh! Maybe I’ll have to ask him about making pies. I agree, sometimes a slice of pie can be the perfect snack. Especially if it’s fruit, because then it’s sort-of-kind-of healthy, right?

I’m glad that they’re out there pollinating and fertilizing. Go bugs. But they’re still irredeemable. 

.

:/ I don’t think it’s fair to call them irredeemable. Without them, we’d be pretty screwed.

alan-dixon​:

She does look like she’s the best from your point of view.

I’m full of those.

Feels like I’m talking to a communist right now. Why would you give me half of something you already paid for?  That’s kind of weird.

Oh wait I get it, you’re one of those cult people, this is how you end up with my phone number.

They’ll be your full property, there’s no need.

I mean, she’s my cat so if she’s the best for me, from my point of view, that’s what matters, right?

Seems like it. I like to think I can be, too.

Okay, sounds good. I’ll happily take them then. Oh, I’m Annabelle, by the way. Figure I should probably at least give you my name if we’re doing an exchange.

Careful on those trails, bird. Got beauty, sure, but got lots of trouble too. Best if you got a buddy. Mmm, easy to impress when you got the attention span of a fruit fly. Pinball really takes advantage of that.

.

I mean, I figure anything can lead to trouble, right? Besides, I know not to approach bears or things like that. I do go with a friend sometimes!! 

That’s fair - maybe that’s why I don’t like it quite as much, because I prefer things that take up more concentration and attention.
