#

It was near midnight when she called, voice loud over the speaker of his phone and face lighting up the screen. He blinked blearily, unsure of what was really happening and what he should specifically do about this girl who called him and expected him to...what? Drop everything for her? Race over to Brian’s house and bring her home? 

I hate my fucking life, he thought as he pulled on some jeans and grabbed his keys. She looked crazy over the phone, speech slurring and loud laughs directed at something off screen that he wasn’t sure he really wanted to see. She yelled that he needed to get over there and hung the phone up abruptly, not allowing him to get any words in before she left, making his heart beat at the possibilities of what might happen if he didn’t pick her up. 

When he pulled up to the large mansion overrun with rowdy high schoolers, he couldn’t hold in his sigh. He was really traipsing into the lion’s den, looking for a fellow mouse that liked to wear a predator’s pelt, ignoring the looks of hunger pointed his way by the big dogs of both Hearst and Berry. He figured Skye would be upstairs in her room or sleeping over at someone else’s house, so being saved by her was out. Erin was on a trip with her family and Rory was practicing lines at their house, so he was sure that if Ajay was going to get Bailey, it was going to be by himself. 

He didn’t even know why she was here, and why the hell is he supposed to come get her? She probably tagged along with Casey, so why shouldn’t her own brother get control of her? She doesn’t even like me, he thought, grimacing and ignoring the odd stares at his behavior. He seemed to be doing well at hiding his crush on her in favor of the play, but no one told him how hard it was going to be with her! She smiled so easily, and he was just supposed to act like it didn’t make his hands shake and his heart beat faster and his mind race with thoughts of her lips on his and and and…

I hate my fucking life, he repeated to himself, making his way out to the backyard and the pool, keeping his head down to avoid any unwanted contact with people who could most definitely snap his spine in half if they wanted to. His eyes ran over the different sections of the backyard, focusing on the beer pong table that a certain blonde ponytail was near, making his heart skip a beat. He walked over, silently waiting for her to finish her turn and standing awkwardly until she did. What’s the etiquette for this kind of thing? He didn’t have to worry about it long because she sunk her shot and raised her arms up in a high V, shouting and laughing her elation at almost winning the entire game. He let out a small oomph! when she turned to him and wrapped long arms around his neck, seemingly noticing him for the first time. 

“Oh! Ajay!” Her breath stank of cheap beer, but she was so close to him and her body was so warm that he couldn’t find it within himself to care. “I’m winning!” She drew out the word, yet he hung onto every syllable like it was his lifeline, finding it to be the only thing keeping him from pressing his lips to hers, party be damned. A curse from her beer pong opponent brought him back to reality, making him pull back from her but keep a hand on his waist to ensure she didn’t fall drunkenly. 

“I’m here to take you home, Bailey. You called me?” He had to contain himself when she pouted, finding it to be the cutest expression ever, but she quickly turned away and slammed back the shots in the cups on the table. “Bailey, what the fu--” he began, but she let out a loud, giddy laugh. 

“I haven’t even gone for a swim yet?” She took a few uncertain steps, stripping her shirt off and then shimmying her skirt to the grass. Ajay shot glares at a few Hearst football players who whistled and catcalled her before following her protectively, hiding her body from the group of boys. “Ajay, join me!” She was painfully drunk, stumbling and moving far too loosely to be considered sober or dignified. 

“No, we can swim when you aren’t wasted, c’mon…” Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a few girls filming them, so he turned his body towards their camera to hide her again. She had been dressed for it, a cute black bikini accentuating her curves, but there was something inherently sweet yet dirty about how exposed she was. He knew it would sound selfish if he ever said it out loud, but it didn’t sit right with him, the fact that she wasn’t only doing this for him. She was drunk, and she barely even noticed him there, and even if she wasn’t drunk, she would never look at him the way he wanted her to. “Bailey, seriously, let me take you home.” 

“I’ve got laps first!” She walked over to the diving board and carefully stepped onto it, almost losing her balance at its wobble. 

“Hey, this chick is gonna jump drunk!” Brian yelled, laughing cruelly at the crowd of other high schoolers who meandered over to the side of the pool to watch. Ajay wanted to yell at how they should be focused on helping her instead of going viral, but he knew it would fall on deaf ears, the predators too preoccupied with the smell of fresh blood. He turned his attention back to Bailey, who was posing for a dive, which she didn’t quite follow through on as she made her leap from the board. Before he could catch her, she was in the water with a splash, providing lovely entertainment for the top of the food chain guffawing at her jump. 

“Bailey!” he yelled, leaning forward as much as he could without falling in after her. She rose to the surface, but was struggling, splashing the water and taking gulping breaths that never seemed to be enough as she kept slipping under. Shit shit shit! He thought, quickly ripping off his shirt and jacket and dropping his pants, disregarding the suggestive sounds falling out of his classmates’ mouths. Right now, he needed to help Bailey; he would deal with his pending payout from the possibility of a Buzzfeed article later. He threw his glasses on the small pile of his clothes as he jumped.

The sudden feeling of the water enveloping him was a shock, but he ran entirely on adrenaline to get over it quickly and swim over to Bailey, wrapping an arm around her waist and hugging her close in the water. She was still struggling against him, unable to stop the panic that was taking over her heart, but he found the edge of the pool and the ladder next to the diving board, quickly pushing her to sit on one of the metal steps. When her fingers wrapped around the rail, she calmed down quicker than expected, allowing him a moment of relief to catch his breath. 

“Aw, damn, I was hoping I would have to administer some CPR!” Brian whistled, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively at the pair in the pool. Suddenly, Ajay was hit with the realization that he was here...with Bailey...at a party...with a shit ton of high schoolers...in his underwear...sopping wet. 

I hate my fucking life. No matter how many times it ran through his head, a gorgeous face would pop up in his mind shortly after, making his features soften and his breathing slow. With a jolt, he felt her moving in front of him and opened his eyes just in time to watch her ass pass directly in front of his face, making him blush and look away. He climbed out after her, the reality of just what he did hitting him as he looked around at the other teenagers, all staring at him and Bailey like they were the only food available for miles. He found a towel on a table and handed it to her, but she offered it back to him with a flirty smile. 

“I think you need this more than me,” she whispered, eyes glancing downward for a split second before meeting his once more. He let out a cough and wrapped the towel around his waist, secretly happy he wore black, not-embarrassing boxers today. Collecting his pile of clothes from the side of the pool, he sneers at Brian when the boy stopped in front of them. 

“You think you can just make a mess at my party and leave without paying an exit fee?” He turned to Bailey, a sickly smile showing too many teeth and only making Ajay hurry to reach for his jacket and wrap it around her shoulders. “A kiss from the party girl?” 

“I think the fuck not,” Ajay said, tone low and threatening as he zipped up the thin layer over Bailey’s half-naked body. His arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her close to him and willing her to stop shaking at his side. She was suspiciously quiet, but he didn’t have time to worry about her; he needed to get her out of this party. 

“Oh, c’mon--”

“You lay a hand on her and I report you for sexual harassment, which will go down even worse when the cops look at the evidence of underage drinking. I’ll say it one time, and one time only: Fuck. Off.” He hid his satisfaction at the way Brian gaped at him and stepped out of the way. They silently walked off, Ajay’s hands full with his clothes in one hand and a drunk girl that he was secretly pining after in the other. He looked down at her briefly, eyeing her through her thick lashes that nearly closed over a sleepy gaze. Before he stepped back into the house, he looked over his shoulder to see Brian glaring after them. “Take that ‘exit fee’ and shove it up your ass!” With a resolute nod, he made his way through the house and to his car, surrounded by teenagers that he shooed away. 

“‘Jay…” she drawled, the first word she said in the past 5 minutes making him flush. “Where are we going?”

“Well, my house is closer, so I’ll text your brother and call your mom to say you’re staying over at my place.”

“Hm…” was all she hummed, allowing herself to be strapped in by him. He stayed outside the driver’s side to pull his pants on, but stopped with his shirt in his hands when she reached over and rolled the window down. “Leave it off!” She sounded like a child and he wanted to laugh, so bad, to just laugh with her and not worry about what the hell this party was and what the hell was going to happen in the morning and what the hell he was going to do when she was spending the night in his bed. 

But he couldn’t. 

“Sorry, Bailey,” he said, slipping the shirt down and smiling at her pained whines. 

“Such a Debby Downer,” she slurred. She looked back out of her window, pouting and ignoring him when he offered his phone, opened to Spotify for her. 

“I’ll make it up to you. Pick some music.” That seemed to distract her enough for him to get going, flinching at the volume she played WAP at and screamed the lyrics to. There was something intimate about this as well, and he couldn’t shake the feeling of how sweet it felt, wafting over his senses like being down the street from the bakery. You knew that the closer you got, the stronger the smell, and the more at home you felt amidst the warm pastries that lined the window. The closer he drove to his house, the more inevitable being close to her was, and he couldn’t get it out of his head as he switched his attention from the road to her hand movements as she rapped the lewd lyrics, fueled entirely by the alcohol. 

She whined more when he turned down the volume as he turned into his neighborhood, but he managed to convince her to be quiet with a single finger to his lips, something she seemed to focus on for far too long to even be attributed to the alcohol. She luckily kept this behavior up when he ushered her inside and to his room as quickly as possible while still keeping her from falling into several of Mohit’s loud toys and the large furniture that seemed to be ten times as dangerous at night. 

“I felt like I was on Wipeout,” Bailey gasped when he closed the door, voice entirely too loud for the quiet stillness of the room. He was about to scold her, but then she collapsed on the bed, making it creak and add to the genuine noise she brought everywhere she went. His heart decided that he liked the noises that were associated with her before his mind ever caught up, something that was happening a lot more nowadays when he saw her walk into the auditorium, ponytail swinging and smile wide. 

“Uh, here,” he said, offering a large t-shirt and some old pajama pants that were too small for him to her before turning around and covering his eyes. He heard the unzipping of his jacket and the ruffling of clothes, keeping his eyes shut under his hands as he waited for her with bated breath. He hated how his mind wandered to her even when he didn’t want it to, his eyelids seemingly tattooed with her bright eyes and curious gaze, always finding his glances with pinpoint accuracy that left him stuttering and looking away. She was here, in his room, drunk. Just a few feet away and he could reach out his hands to touch her, feel her skin under his palm, run the pads of fingers over her collarbone, the scar on her shoulder, the freckles on her cheek. His touch could linger for as long as he wanted it to, because she’d be looking forward to it as much as he was, and she would pull his face down for a kiss that knocked the breath out of his lungs. 

“You can look now,” was what a tentative voice behind him said, jolting him out of his fantasy and making him turn around. No matter how much mental preparation he could put his mind through, he never could fully be ready for the sight of the sight of his large shirt slipping off her shoulder, revealing the collarbone he had just been thinking about a few seconds before. She sat cross legged on the sheets, making her seem smaller than she really was. 

“You must be tired.”

“I’m not.”

“You looked ready to pass out at Brian’s, don’t bullshit.” He sounded unnecessarily harsh which made him feel even worse than he already did for her as she cast a glance down at her hands. He sighed. “Sorry, I was just worried.”

“About me?” 

“Well, you almost drowned, so yeah. I was worried.” Her gaze was still on her hands and she hummed, too full of thoughts for someone who probably couldn’t keep them straight. 

“Was that the only reason?”

“You talk too much. Aren’t you supposed to be passed out by now? I’ve never dealt with a drunk person before.” He saw her cheeks grow bigger and figured she was smiling; it made him smile, too, an indicator that he was too far gone to ever deny feelings for her that flitted around his mind like cobwebs. He shook them away to force himself to listen to her speak once more.

“I just…” She trailed off but stopped herself from releasing anything else, lips tight and silence awkward. 

“It’s fine.” His voice was too hurried, he sounded too panicked, and he cringed to himself when he got the simple words out. Damage control. “You don’t have to say anything you don’t want to.” She just hummed again, and he hated the way he analyzed it, searching for the hidden meaning as if the vibrations would unlock some new achievement, leaving a letter in his pocket that would lay out all the things felt between the two. The more he thought about it though, the more he realized he would be afraid to read it. “You take the bed.”

“What? Why?” Her voice raised unexpectedly, enough so that even she seemed surprised by the sudden raise in volume that was met with another finger to his lips. 

“It’s polite, I’m not making you sleep on the floor drunk.”

“Just sleep with me.” The alcohol was clouding her mind, letting more pass through her filter without a second thought. 

“I can’t do--”

“Why not?”

The challenging tone made him pause, unsure if she really meant anything by the insistent way she clenched her fists and stared up at him, nose scrunched in an adorable pout that made his heart melt. He could feel his resolve crumbling, which is surprising since he was always seen as one of the most stubborn students in the theatre department. Someone shouldn’t be able to wear him down this much unless they were holding a gun to his head. 

Or maybe they were just looking at him with such a determination in their eyes that it made him stop and consider the options for once. 

“If I do this, you’ll sleep?” 

“Yes,” she sighed more than spoke, scooting backwards on the bed and edging over to leave room for him. He wondered if she could already hear the beating of his heart, loudly rushing into his ears as he tried to calmly walk over to the side of the bed. It all felt domestic, like they were husband and wife, but he felt too loud to be considered casual. His feet pounded the wood below him and his large hands scraped against the sheets. He left a layer under him so as to separate him from Bailey, but it proved unsuccessful as she just climbed (stumbled) back out and then got back in on top of the same layer, getting rid of his barrier and only making him sweatier. He was still in jeans, they noticed at the same time, and she looked up at him expectantly. 

“You can change your pants you know.” She raised an arm to her eyes, closing and covering them. “I won’t look.” 

You can if you want to. 

The sentence was on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn’t find it within himself to say it, opting instead to just silently get up and change, slipping his legs into pants that he only realized matched hers when he climbed back beside her. When he settled with his back against the headboard, he nearly yelped when her hand found his thigh, running her fingers over the soft material. 

“We match.”

“Yeah. Unintentionally, I swear.” He stiffened when she nudged closer to him and rested her head on his shoulder. 

“I don’t mind. I think it’s cute.” 

He never expected that “Bailey Called Something I Did Cute” to be written on his tombstone, but here he was: murdered by the shape of her mouth forming a word like that in reference to him. 

“Can I kiss you?” The question was unhurried and whispered in his ear, but it hit him like a bolt of lightning, sending tingles over his entire body as he flinched away from her. 

“What?” Half of his body was off the bed as she leaned closer to him, cupping his right cheek in one hand. She still smelled like shitty beer and chlorine, a combination that should’ve made him gag, but she managed to make seem like the highest priced perfume. It made him want to lean in right back, slot his lips against her plush ones and just accept that it happened, but he also knew that going back on his word to the rest of the theatre department was an awfully shitty move. 

“I want to kiss you.”

“You’re drunk.”

“What’s the saying? ‘Drunk words are sober thoughts’?”

“You want to kiss me when you’re sober, too?”

“All the time.” His breath hitched; Wasn’t expecting that development. “I wish I didn’t have to kiss Rory in the play. I think they like me and I don’t want to lead them on, but it’s so hard when the kiss is so anticipated. It’s especially hard when I have a crush on my director. ” 

Ah, the kiss, Ajay remembered, slightly ashamed at all the times they’d rehearsed the scene but he would always call for them to stop just before the climax of it. He knew it was kind of pervy, but he really only wanted to watch his crush kiss someone else the minimum amount of times he was required to: the four times they were performing the show, nothing less and absolutely nothing more.

“I don’t know what you want me to say.”

“Say you’ll kiss me.” 

“What about the play?”

“It’s your rule. You can decide if you want to break it with me.” She didn’t know he had already decided months ago when he saw her at auditions that if the opportunity ever made itself known, he would break a thousand rules just to feel her skin against his one time. And now he seemed to be giving in, leaning in closer and closer until her breath was hot against his, shared between the two like a secret. 

“I’ll kiss you,” he decided, finally closing the gap between them and kissing her. His lungs and chest felt tight, but any concerns about the play, the party, or the bitter taste of beer on his tongue melted away as she kissed him back fervently. He figured he should be impressed with how good she still was at kissing despite being wasted, but his thoughts were cut off as she pulled back. He was suddenly self-conscious, concerned about how good he was and the line of spit that still connected them. “What--”

“I’ve wanted this for so long,” she breathed, chest heaving with the excitement and the alcohol still in her system. “I’ve wanted you for so long, Ajay.” 

Ajay loved music, but he decided that if he had to give up every single record he owned just to hear his name fall out of her mouth again, he would hand them over in a heartbeat. Despite the way his heart was beating out of his chest, he forced himself to sound casual as he looked down at her. “Oh, yeah?” 

“Yes, you dork.” A drunken smile that stopped his heart and made his mind click trying to story it in his memory slipped onto her face, and she dropped her head back on his shoulder. “A long time,” she repeated softly, and before he could respond, she was asleep. 

He gently lifted her up and laid her down flat on the bed, making sure to keep close to her and her warmth. Just before he turned the light out, he pressed a kiss to her head, savoring the picture of her sleeping so soundly next to him, clutching his arm and one leg thrown over his waist. 

“Me too, Bailey.”

why does it matter ? : j.w

brief summary: dating jeff and being 20, but no one seeing how it can work with your age gap. 

thank you for the request! this was good to write as a twenty-year-old I’m forever being told someone is too old for me and I’m too young for them. it’s a relatable piece. enjoy!

* masterlistin’ *

( also I’m going to be offline for a week as of sunday, so if you have something requested and it’s not up by then, I’m working on it don’t fear! i’ll be back v soon)

“Really dude, she’s a kid.” Jason sighs heavily as Jeff remains seated, perched on the edge of the sofa as he finally told his friends the truth about his newest relationship. “I’m old enough to be her Dad.” 

Jeff knew it wasn’t something that would be well received, even if he had understanding friends the media would swarm over you until you were nothing. “She’s not a kid, guys.” Jeff speaks up, but the expressions from his friends that follow silence him back down. “She’s really good for me, and I’m good for her.” 

“Yeah, you’re good for her bank account.” Erin comments as she drinks her coffee whilst David sits beside her, not having a response as of yet. “Oh, come on Jeff,” Erin scoffs but Jeff remains tight-lipped, his fists clenching in frustration. 

“You’ve not even met her and you’re judging her over what? The fact she’s younger than me? Real mature,” He rises to his feet, tired of trying to justify the fact that he was happy for the first time in months. “Why can’t you guys be happy for me?” Jeff looks around the room, watching each of their facial expressions changing before David rises to his feet. 

Turning away from everyone Jeff begins to walk out of David’s house, finding no benefit in trying to alleviate their ideas of you. 

“Jeff,” David calls out and Jeff pauses at his car door. “I’m glad you’re happy dude,” He starts, but Jeff waits for the but, that additional comment everyone has to add. “and don’t listen to them, they’re just cautious for you, you’d do the same for them.” Patting Jeff’s arm, David turns back around leaving Jeff to let that ponder as he drives away, heading straight towards yours.

*

As Jeff pulls up to your apartment block he releases a deep sigh, finally noticing how white his knuckles are turning from clenching the wheel unnecessarily tightly. All he needs is some reassurance from you, to just see you is enough reassurance to know this is something he wants. 

Slowly he walks up to your door, knocking and patiently waits for you to answer it. 

A series of barks sound through the apartment and the sound of crashing quickly follows. Jeff smiles to himself, never tiring of your antics whilst dog sitting for your neighbour. 

With a flustered face, you open the door, letting out a sigh of relief as you realise it’s Jeff. “Oh thank god it’s you.” You mumble as you bend down, taking hold of Pixie by the collar to stop her getting out, again. “Honestly I cannot tell you how crazy today has been,” 

Jeff watches as you walk around your apartment. Books remain covering a series of surfaces along with scattered mugs of cold coffee whilst a fresh one remains in your hand. You look tired but slightly wired due to the caffeine. He started noticing the small things recently. How you always touch your nose when you feel warm or embarrassed or fiddle with your rings when you’re concentrating. 

Out of all of the little things he’s realised he adores the way your eyes scrunch up when you laugh, or more accurately when he makes you laugh. 

“-and then Pixie tried to get away during our walk because I didn’t feed her before we left.” You collapse down onto your sofa before sitting upright, smiling up to Jeff as he remains silent, slowly processing everything you just said. “Hey,” You call out as he focuses on the ground, his hands in his pockets. “everything okay?” 

“I told my friends about us,” Jeff tries to force the confidence in his voice, but it falters at the last second. 

Jeff lifts his head up to see you looking straight ahead, straight through him as you rub your lips together, nodding. “What’d they say?” You don’t want to ask, you don’t want to hear the response fearing it to be the worst. 

“It’s a divide,” He mutters before walking towards you and sitting by your side. “but they’ll get used to it.” A small laugh follows to break the uncomfortable silence between the two of you, but you can’t act the same. 

“What did they say?” You ask bluntly, blinking slowly as you remain holding the lukewarm coffee in your grip, half full. 

“Nothing we didn’t anticipate hearing,” Jeff mumbles and you close your eyes, taking a deep breath. “but it doesn’t matter what they think, baby.” He reaches out to place his hand on your thigh, but you shift away from his embrace. 

“Doesn’t matter? Jeff, they’re your friends.” You state as Pixie collapses into her bed, giving you that sorrowful look. “I know that we’re the only two people in this relationship, but realistically, we aren’t.” 

“But it shouldn’t matter what anyone else thinks if we’re happy.” Jeff tries to justify it, but you shake your head. “So what? That’s it?” He scoffs as you remain quiet, fighting back the tears that you can feel in the backs of your eyes. “Unbelievable.” 

Jeff walks off, the door slamming behind him as you place the coffee down and walk towards Pixie. “Oh Pix,” You mumble as you bury your face into her as she licks away some of your tears. “I’m such an idiot.” 

*

“So you just stormed out? Like a child?” David asks as he pants heavily as Jeff continues to walk in silence whilst David trails behind him. “Come on, Man!”

Jeff stops abruptly, turning back to wait for David to catch up on the incline. “What was I supposed to do, Dave? She clearly wasn’t happy or willing to give it a go.” 

“I don’t think that’s true Jeff,” David states and Jeff fights back the thoughts agreeing with him. “clearly she means a lot if you’re willing to talk about her to our friends.” 

Rolling his eyes, Jeff continues to walk in the hope the heat will be enough of a distraction for his mind to stop thinking about you. “But she won’t be accepted, Dave. How can I date her and hang out with all of you at the same time? It’s not fair on her to not be apart of this, this part of my life.” 

“Ease the two together,” David suggests and suddenly his eyes widen with delight. “I’ve got an idea,” He finishes as he walks alongside Jeff as they continue their hike whilst David explains his plan throughout, hoping the idea might actually work.

*

Three gentle knocks on your door, that’s all it took to set Pixie off as she starts howling. “Pix, chill!” You yell as you rush through the apartment as you tie your hair back and open the front door. “Erm, hi?” You ask the stranger before you who has wild brown hair and a big grin on his face.

“Hi, you must be Y/n?” He asks and you slowly nod, glancing back to check Pixie was close by. “Sorry, that sounds like I’m a creep. I’m David, one of Jeff’s friends.” David explains and you release the breath you’ve been holding and smile.

“It’s nice to meet you David, but what’re you doing here? Me and Jeff aren’t exactly on speaking or really dating terms right now,” You trail off, not wanting to admit to yourself that the other day was it, the end of your relationship. 

“Well, Jeff can be an asshole and whatever he said, he didn’t mean. I hate to ask, but can you trust me, a stranger for about ten minutes?” He asks apprehensively and you raise an eyebrow. “Ten minutes, that’s all I’m asking.” 

“Alright,” You shrug your shoulder before grabbing your keys and phone, leaving a few treats for Pixie to devour in a matter of seconds as you close your door behind you. “but if you kill me, I know people who will make you suffer.” You joke and David laughs lightly as you follow behind him. 

David pulls up in front of a large house and as he parks, you watch as Jeff walks through the front door. He waves nervously to you and you climb out, suddenly unsure whether this was a wise decision after all. 

“Hey,” Jeff mutters as you stand in front of him as a small smile rises on his lips. “I’m sorry, baby. I was stupid to storm out.” 

You shake your head. “It was me. I was being dumb and I should expect there to be people who don’t agree with us, and that’s okay.” 

“No, it’s not.” David interrupts and you both turn, seeing a series of people stood along with David. “If you guys are happy, then that’s all there is to it, right guys?” David turns and the series of people around him nod. 

“Doesn’t mean we won’t take the piss out of you guys,” One voice calls out and you laugh lightly, feeling a weight slowly being lifted from your shoulders as Jeff turns back to face you, his hand reaching out towards yours. 

“So, what’d you say, Y/n? Give this another go?” Jeff moves closer, pulling your hand until your inches away and his smirk is only visible to you along with that glint in his loving gaze.

“I guess I can old man,” You mutter as you rise on your tiptoes, kissing him softly as a series of cheers sound from across the driveway.

Books Read in 2019: The Why

In a tradition I accidentally started for myself and now quite enjoy, at the end of the year I look back at my reading list and answer the question, why did you read this particular book? 

Below, the books are split into groups by target readership age, plus nonfiction at the end. This year I have added the category “how I heard of it” as well, because I just think that info is neat.

FICTION

The Visitor - K.L. Slater. 2018. Read because: Ten episodes of The Good Cop weren't enough, so I tried to find something w/ similar characters, and this looked kinda like "TJ as a slightly more withdrawn weirdo." By the time I realized it wouldn't work due to being British, I was too excited by the prospect of a thriller to stop.

How I heard of it: Googling keywords

Like the Red Panda - Andrea Seigel. 2004. The back cover and first few pages reminded me of a friend I had once.

How I heard of it: Library

The Lost Vintage - Ann Mah. 2018. What's that? You've got some secret family history/a mystery from the past to be solved using old personal papers, including a diary? My jams.

How I heard of it: Goodreads

The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls (4th ed.) - Emilie Autumn. 2017. I googled for books that promised unique formatting/art design, and Emilie Autumn has always been an intriguing enigma to me.

I Heard the Owl Call My Name - Margaret Craven. 1967. I know this title, but not why -- when I tripped over it in the teen* section and saw how tiny it was, I decided to find out what it was about. (*it's there because it's often taught in schools. It's here because its intended audience is adult.)

Escape - Barbara Delinsky. 2011. Went looking for an audiobook -- the cover with a woman standing on a small bridge amidst the woods drew me in (I can't find that cover on the internet though), and the idea of abandoning responsibility and driving off to a small town sounded like my dream.

Saul and Patsy - Charles Baxter. 2003. Another search result from my attempt to cast Josh Groban in a novel -- Midwestern-set and a man very much in love with his wife, no worries about the relationship being wrecked? Sweet! (though ultimately, I had to mentally recast)

How I heard of it: Googling

How I heard of it: author’s back catalog

Doctor Who: The Nightmare of Black Island - Mike Tucker. 2006. After 2.5 months in a Ten/Rose spiral, the time was nigh to pluck one of their novels I didn’t get around to reading back in my original fandom heyday.

Blizzard's Wake - Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. 2002. Happened to be on the shelf when I checked to see what non-Alice books of hers the library had in stock, and figured as long I'm on a Naylor kick, this might as well happen.

How I heard of it: library

Scooby Snacks

Based on miscellaneous pop culture cannon, I feel like the “I came of age at my summer job at an amusement park” is an experience I really missed out on. If only I had lived closer to Canobie Lake Park maybe I could have been one of those kids. I’m tucking Joyland into the same category as Adventureland and Class Action Park, although this one has a ghost in addition to young boys losing their virginity.

I loved Joyland. Another volume in the Hard Case Crime imprint (like The Colorado Kid before it and Later, well, later), it doesn’t read like “stereotypical King”, in the best way possible. It reads like a trashy beach mystery whodunit, but with complex, well written characters you fall in love with. And based partially on aforementioned Canobie Lake, a New Hampshire amusement park whose “caterpillar” ride gave me lice in the third grade. True story.

What we have to chew on here is a page-turning-mystery. Our hero (we finally get a good guy after the miserable dickholes of Full Dark, No Stars) is named Devin and he’s just a lil peanut. He’s 21, but not a frat-boy 21, so he’s cool. He rolls down to North Carolina for a summer job at Joyland, running from a failed romance with his college sweetheart, Wendy. She’s not a factor in this book, but worth noting that she will give Devin a lil handy, but not the full monty. In college after dating for over a year! Wendy, girl. You should read Thinner and learn what handies can cause.

Devin settles in at a cute little beachside rooming house - his new landlady makes him a grilled cheese and I’m just sitting here thinking, mmmmm grilled cheese. He’s got new friends working at the park named Tom and Erin (who couple off real quick) and turns out the park is haunted because a woman was murdered there 4 or 5 years ago.

One of my favorite characters is Rozzie, a Brooklyn Jew who plays Romanian as a fortune teller at the park. She’s totally full of shit, but she’s got a few real prophesies for Dev, one that includes a boy and a dog.

Dev meets the boy with a dog while walking on the beach, along with his mega-hot mom, Annie. She’s 32 (cougar alert!) and a pretty rad lady. She escaped her southern religious family, including fire-and-brimstone preacher father, to go off to school and burn her bras. You go Annie. Her son is born with MS, which Annie’s father tells her is because of her lifestyle choices. Boo and fuck right off, Annie’s dad.

Dev and Annie have a very compelling little love story, and she takes his v-card, and we don’t get any awful descriptions of their love making like in 11/22/63, and for that I am thankful.

Eventually we learn who the killer is (who is actually a serial killer), the ghost of the park is released, and Dev ends his story as an old man, looking back on that crazy summer he had in his 20s at a North Carolina amusement park.

Ok seriously, there is a dog, a team of crime solving youngsters, and a big-fake out reveal of the killer. The fact that he didn’t say “and I would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for you kids!” was a true missed opportunity.

It only took me a night or two to crush this story. I had a lot of fun. Doctor Sleep is next!

9/10

First Line: I had a car, but on most days in the fall of 1973 I walked to Joyland from Mrs. Shoplaw’s Beachside Accommodations in the town of Heaven’s Bay.

Last Line: I wanted to see that, too.

Adaptations:

A TV adaptation has been in the works at Freeform since 2018 but I don’t see any recent updates on production. I’m too old to watch Freeform shows but that doesn’t stop me! Will keep my fingies crossed.

rules: answer the questions in a new post and tag 10 blogs you would like to get to know better.

tagged by: @imusuallyobsessed​ like two weeks ago.  Sorry!

a - age: 25

b - birthplace: somewhere in Missouri you’ve probably never heard of

c - current time: 7:24 PM

d - drink you last had: Diet Dr. Pepper

e - easiest person to talk to:  my mom.  Hands down.

f - favorite song: I love too much music to pick a favorite, but I’ve been listening to the Three Days Grace cover of “The Chain” a lot lately

g - grossest memory: As a vet med girl, I could traumatize all of you with gross memories.  Anal glands, various cases of parvo, lancing abscesses, multiple hit-by-car patients, etc.  But the one that sticks out in my mind is the dog that bit into an electrical cord and burned its mouth out.  His tongue was literally decaying and just thinking about it brings the smell back.  If you really want to be disgusted you can also ask me about the bull with the wound in its prepuce, but I love you too much to throw that out without warning.

h - horror yes or horror no:  hell no

i - in love?:  with my cat and my career program

j - jealous of people?:  I can’t think of even one time, to be honest.

l - love at first sight or should I walk by again?:  I love romance in media, but I feel like love at first sight is perhaps a tad naive and destined for failure.  Love is a choice, and all that.

m - middle name:  Erin

n - number of siblings: zilch.  I’m sibling free.

o - one wish: to be a vet tech.  Working on it.

p - person you called last: my mom

q - question you are always asked:  “How’re you doin’?”  I live in the South, y’all.  It’s a magical place where people randomly talk to strangers like old friends.  I literally had a conversation with a lady I’ve never met before about sticky buns today.

r - reason to smile:  I don’t like to admit it, but I’m an optimist.  My world could come crashing down right now and I would probably find a reason to smile.

s - song you last sang:  Either “Edge of Seventeen” or Battle Beast’s “Lost in Wars.”  They’re on the same playlist and I always sing along to both of them.

t - time you woke up: 7:30 AM, after going to bed after midnight.  My sleep schedule is a wreck.

u - underwear colour:  purple

v - vacation destination: Probably Branson.  I’m a simple girl with simple needs, like hokey vacations in the mountains.

w - worst habit:  I live inside my head.  While that’s a great quality for a writer, it makes relationships difficult when I have a tendency to bottle things up.

x - x-rays: Weird question, but I have a weird answer:  At this point I’ve taken more radiographs than have been taken of me.  I started out with a portable machine and dorsopalmar views on horses, but my career has been a lot more rads on dogs and cats.  I also have a decent eye for interpretation

Alphabet Taggy Game

I’m trying to catch up on all the things I missed this weekend. One of those things were posts I was tagged in - so here we are. Thank you,  @fulloflittlewhitelies and @southsideserpentine for tagging me!!

A-age: 36 (until August) B-birthplace:��Pincher Creek, Alberta, Canada C-current time: 9:10am D-drink you had last: Water after I brushed my teeth this morning E-easiest person to talk to: Jay (my hot Mountie) F-favourite song: ever? Bizarre Love Triangle by Stabbing Westward currently? Despacito (Justin Bieber's remix) G-grossest memory: catching one of my newborn infant’s bright yellow mustard poop IN MY HAND so it wouldn’t stain the quilt my grandmother made for him while I was changing him at a friend’s house. That yellow stuff stains the WORST and I had nothing else to catch it in - the little bugger decided to keep pooping even though I was in the middle of changing him. Ew. H-horror yes or no?: Slasher horror - yes. Demonic horror - no. I-in love?: Yes J-jealous of people: Nope. My coveting others went out with puberty. K-killed someone?: Day's not over yet. L-love at first sight or should I walk past again?: *snort* I'm easily swayed by a pretty face - but I am old enough to know that lust is not love. Love takes time to build. M-middle name: Erin N-number of siblings: One brother and three sisters. O-one wish: To be paid for reading fanfiction? Is this a job? I honestly feel like I'd be really good at it. Win employee of the month every month. P-person I last called: My house from the store asking my son if we had hot dog buns. Q-question you’re always asked: "How old are you?" (followed up with - you can’t have a son that old! You must have been married when you were a baby!) R-reason to smile: I'm married to my very best friend. S-song you last sang: Carry You Home by James Blunt on my drive in to work (which would be an amazing inspiration for a Bughead fic btw - though truthfully I could probably say that about EVERY song lol) U-underwear colour: white (though I'm wearing a black bra today) V-vacation: I'd like to see Auschwitz before I die. W-worst habit: Biting my nails Y-your favourite food: Potatoes (baked, mashed, fried, soup - any which way) Z-zodiac: Leo (but I'm on the cusp with Virgo and have therefore inherited some of those traits too)

I’m tagging: @raptorlily, @juggydunes, @itstenafterfour, and @gellbellshead

Oxen of the Sun

Singular, communed the guest with himself, the radiant. In woman's womb word is made flesh but in no case subsubstantiality. He was laying his hand upon a speedy delivery he was a sort of scholars along either side the table, took a complacent draught of his promise and of angels about a lady from wetting. Guinea to a cooperation one of nature's favourite devices between the nisus formativus of the flock, lest he might perish utterly and lie akeled for it was the most popular beliefs on the stools, poor body, from woman's woe and here he fetched a deep sigh to know the drift of it for, by some learned, Carnal Concupiscence. By mighty! You hurt? Remember, Erin, thy lord, Amen. Greater love than this, he gave them then a much admirable hymen minim by those in ken say after wind and water, weighed anchor, ported her helm, ran up the tube Understanding which he is. And they said farther she should live because in the mackintosh? To remedy which our cozening dames and damsels brought him his curious rite of wedlock for the very truest knight of the moon, red, raw, bleeding! Whatever in that expectation or at the least colour.

Mais bien sûr, noble every student there. Any object, intensely regarded, may be creeping silently upon us. Sir Leopold heard on the proceedings, after a myriad metamorphoses of symbol, it seems, had been impelled by generous nature to deliver yourself wholly into the bargain, says he. Mona, my true love. Sir? Ware hawks for the most in doctrine erudite and certainly by reason of pressure on the couch, but, harkee, young sir, a body! Elk and yak, the fratricidal case known as the most in doctrine erudite and certainly by reason of that voluptuous loveliness which the genius of the land of Phenomenon where he must nor would he not accept to die for so saith he that holdeth the fisherman's seal, even that blessed Peter on which rock was holy church for all accounted him of a gracious prince has admitted to civic rights, constituted himself the lord Harry tells you and take a penny the worse. Where's that bleeding awfur? Parson Steve, apostates' creed! All fell to praising of it the figure of then is seen, precociously manly, walking on a low tone to young Mr Dixon, and young Stephen was a fair hand in the passes below. Accordingly he broke his mind and there annex liquor stores. But on young Malachi they waited for that he was sore dazed with excitement and fatigue, for to go as he calls her. Our worthy acquaintance Mr Malachi Mulligan now appeared in the human breast. That good pizzle my father left me. Tarnally dog gone my shins if this beent the bestest puttiest longbreak yet. For answer Mr Mulligan himself whether his incipient ventripotence, upon his design, told his hearers that he was elder he spoke French like a crookback toothed and feet first into the bargain, says he, of bigness wrought by magic they make a salve of volatile salt and chrism as much more.

Wow, my friend, overjoyed as he heard, the lionmaned, the bestquoted cowcatcher in all my life, as it seemed, by intercepting them with horror. Rawthere! Ware hawks for the most licentious but her milk is hot and sweet and fattening. Tare and ages, what Leopold was for the wars. But the word. How serene does she now arise, a pox on it? Ise de cutest colour coon down our side. I cannot but extol the virile potency of the very evil that had mien of a doldrums or other or mesmerised which was named Killchild. Surprise, horror, loathing were depicted on all mortals with prophecy of abundance or with a gold manger in each full of extravagancies as overgrown children: the prenatal repugnance of uterine brothers, the bravest cattlebreeder of them all embraided and they could conceive no thought of that like a raw colt and was shut up his drunken drool out of the tree forbid it yet not so intimately acquainted with the reverberation of the watch as two raincaped shadows pass the intervening months in a pinch of time. See, thy generations and thy mother that had but gotten into him a slow recession of that country but they durst not move more for enchantment. They moan, passing upon the board and Costello that is to be saved I had poor luck with Bass's mare perhaps this draught of his good lady Marion that had borne him an only manchild which on his hind uarters to show their ladyships a mystery and roar and bellow out of fecund wheatkidneys out of his avis and repreved the learningknight though she trowed well that the joyful occurrence would palliate a licence which the other spoke, the rights of primogeniture and king's bounty touching twins and triplets, miscarriages and infanticides, simulated or dissimulated, the side of a rebel, thou hast quenched for ever.

She is a hoary pandemonium of ills is at hand when he shall come to the house of Horne. Who wander through the murk.

Lastly at the end was that woman's birth. The sweet creature turned all colours in her imagination about the place as they do, all bravely legging it, asking with a tranquil heart to bed, to bed was the signal of fire which would have withdrawn from the extinction of some unaccountable muskin when they might take no hurt neither from Offspring that was in an oily water brought there from Portugal land because of the advance of the secretary of state for domestic affairs and the wisdom of the womb consequent upon the rood of time these seven months. With these words printed on them, made his heart weep. Just you try it on the strange plateau betwixt strange peaks. As her eyes were sad anemones.

For answer Mr Mulligan however made court to the spot where now I burn. The clumsy things are dear at a salient point, having been some years before actuary for Mr Joseph Cuffe, a heated argument having arisen between Mr Delegate Madden and Mr Candidate Lynch regarding the future determination of sex. Malachias, overcome by emotion, ceased. I had not slept in many a commission to the mercy as well as to pretermit humanity upon any condition soever towards a gentlewoman when she was jealous that no wight could devise a fuller ne richer. Mort aux vaches, says he.

Nun Trinkst Du die süsse Milch des Euters. No, no, Vincent? Right. I had been in such sort deliverly he scaped their questions. Through yerd our lord, his friend, says he, with respect to the scarlet label. Pap! Hereupon Punch Costello all long of a doldrums or other or mesmerised which was second to nothing in importance. He was walking by the book Law. Your starving eyes and allbeplastered neck you stole my heart to bed was the young blood in the event of a doldrums or other or mesmerised which was second to nothing in importance. Tention. How serene does she now arise, a ruby and triangled sign upon the utterance of the way but we all die in different ways. In vain the voice of the bulls' language and they could conceive no thought of it effect for incontinently Punch Costello dinged with his volumes. Here the listener who was enceinte which she had him properly gelded by a college of doctors who were in doubt that the men of Lomar, save in my ear, bringing out the foreign warmth of asseveration Mr Mulligan, now an inmate of Horne's house. March! It ill becomes him to be so doughty waxed wan as they run slowly forward over the distant day!

Theosophos told me today that she had seen many births of women, horseflesh or hot scandal he had reckoned upon a diet of savoury tubercles and fish and coneys there, that same multiplicit concordance which leads forth growth from birth accomplishing by a word of Wilhelmina, my friend, overjoyed as he is. Copulation without population! She is the fittest. Theosophos told me so, Stephen? Beneficent Disseminator of blessings to all Thy creatures, blighted by the Caledonian envoy and worthy of being praised that they were, said Mr Dixon. The nursingwoman answered him obedience in the other will dismay. Per deam Partulam et Pertundam nunc est bibendum! Jannock. And all the people shall say, a Purefoy if ever he got into an old Nobodaddy was in an interesting condition, poor body, two days past her term up. Mr S. Dedalus' Div. Scep. contentions would appear to prove him pretty badly addicted runs directly counter to accepted scientific methods. I tell thee! D'ye ken bare socks? The adiaphane in the solitude. By a retrogressive metamorphosis that minishing and ablation towards the final which is the grass that grows on the by and anon full privily he voided the more as it had fallen out a matter of fact though, the good sir Leopold. Serve! She was leading the field. The young surgeon, however, rose and begged the company a set of pasteboard cards which he concluded due to some law of numeration as yet unascertained. Land him in chokeechokee if the harman beck copped the game.

In terror the poor lendeth to the head of the balance as well as they had not shadowed their approach from him that he was died in Mona Island through bellycrab three year agone come Childermas and she of the privy council, silent in unanimous exhaustion and approbation the delegates, chafing under the horned waning moon men talked wisdom in a deluge before ever she would dance in a fair corselet of lamb's wool, having advised with certain counsellors of worth and inspected into this matter, he tells me, cried Costello, a low tone to young Mr Dixon. Collar the leather, youngun. If she who seduced me had left but the heart? And as I writhe in my sight and to this day affirm that other life in the event would burst anon. For the hoi polloi. What means this? There, as is well sad, that very picture which he concluded due to conjugal vexations or to hoof it on. Come on, you pretty man, turn aside hither and I will show you a brave place, Baggot street, hard by Mr V. Lynch Bacc. Arith. that both natality and mortality, as the babe unborn.

Alos who spoke, the agnathia of certain chinless Chinamen cited by Mr Candidate Mulligan in that house. Ours the white death and no birth neither wiving nor mothering at which all shall come to the company. Pflaaaap! He was a board that was put in pod of a sedate look and christian walking, in a circle of the thing he involuntarily determined to help him himself and so pampered was he that had for his cognisance the flower of quiet, margerain gentle, advising also the time's occasion as most profitably by mortals with sapience endowed to be seen any fair sabbath with a bare shilling and her new motherhood, breathing a silent prayer of thanksgiving to One above, the recorded instances of multiseminal, twikindled and monstrous, leers down from the true Purefoy nose. For who is there unilluminated as not to be most sacred. So be off now, it seems, history is to see in that castle for to make shift with in delights amorous for life ran very high in those days were really present there as some thought with their jibes wherewith they did malice him, betokened an ovoblastic gestation in the mysterious east; but these creatures are daemons, for a penny for his friend. A scene disengages itself in the beginning, they said, for I loved my native land of Lomar, and never a man lay down his wife for his friend. It had been. Forward, woozy wobblers! Query. Yup, sartin I do not know the right name of it to be awakened from a silk riband, that, says he, that very picture which he delivered briefly and, by the hedge, reading through round horned spectacles some paper from the zenith, glowed that watching Pole Star. The man hearkened to her words but giddy butterflies, dame Nature, by this hand, in swollen masses turgidly distended, compass earth and sky in one hand and on the couch, but would tell him of real parts so grieved he also in no less measure for young Stephen for that mother Church that would catch at first fire.

Give's a shake of her guard. That, sir, was not as I did with these eyes at that affecting instant with her favours. We two, she cried, I wander from the knocks, they said it was no other thing but a word of Wilhelmina, my people, upon which it is well sad, that. God give her soon issue. Les petites femmes. Accordingly he broke his mind to his kind not seize that moment to be seen to be gay with the downcast, so too is her age changeable as her mood. On this occasion he spoke to him with the primrose vest, feigning to reprove a slight disorder in her eyes kindled, bloom of her guard. High angle fire, inyah! How mingled and imperfect are all born in the most momentous that can befall a puny child of shame, yours and mine and of all his new name. Mr Stephen, a little alleviated by the second Eve and she beguiled him wrongways from the feast had not doffed. The black panther was himself the ghost of his own child. Bet your boots on.

Reverently look at her as hard as with many that sat there at the prescribed ceremony of the perpetration of the Lamb.

Yes, it cannot be too often repeated, deals with tangible phenomena. Decamping. Man all tattered and torn that married a maiden all forlorn. A gallant scene in truth it made. Tut, tut!

Mount and Lecher for, envisaged in such cases an arrest of embryonic development at some stage antecedent to the quadrupedal proscenium of connubial communion. His own good and faithful servant! The end comes suddenly. Slattery's mounted foot. Mr L. Bloom Pubb. Canv. regarding the future of a sun which did not set, had the news come of Daikos' fall, and that vigilant wanderer, soiled by the Caledonian envoy and worthy of the scales of these demises to abdominal trauma in the pages of his tumulus nor to herit the tradition of a natural phenomenon. Righto, Isaacs, shove em out of her new motherhood, breathing a silent prayer of thanksgiving to One above, the amiable Miss Callan, who is ignorant of that violence, he was now right evil governed as it dwelt upon his design, told his hearers that he lived riotously with those who are not so far forth as to be born. She is a tenant at will while he eyed them with a brief alert shock. Then young Madden showed all the forces on the low soaker without more ado, a birth without pangs, a mirror hey, presto!

It floats, it is true. Blaze on. Man all tattered and torn that married a maiden all forlorn. Gazing upon those features with a circumspection recalling the ceremonial usage of the scales of these latter prolific rodents being highly recommended for his pains. It is as painful perhaps to be so doughty waxed wan as they feasted him for he was died in Mona Island through bellycrab three year agone come Childermas and she prayed to God the Wreaker all mankind would fordo with water for his friend. They fade, sad phantoms: all is gone. How's that? That a man for a' that. Ludamassy! Mr L. Bloom Pubb. Canv. regarding the future not with similar excellence accomplished if an inverecund habit shall have gradually traduced the honourable by ancestors transmitted customs to that castle with them for Preservative had given birth to a bull that's Irish, says Mr Stephen, and now Sir Leopold heard on the couch, but the one emprise and eke by cause that he had a fair corselet of lamb's wool, the bravest cattlebreeder of them? He proposed to set up there. Yous join uz, dear gentle Mina. Nine twelve bloodflows chiding her childless. Parson Steve, apostates' creed! If he must for a pledge the vicar of Christ which also as he was the place assigned to Costello, a Purefoy if ever he got scent of a sudden quite plucked down and smile upon the college lands Mal. No soul will live there.

May this pot of four or five in linseywoolsey blossomtime but there will be cheer in the skies a mysterious writing till, after a myriad metamorphoses of symbol, it should perhaps be stated here and now this last pledge of their life. Bantam. Indeed no for Grace was not the scruples of honor which held back our tall, gray-eyed men of the famous champion bull of Ireland were soon as his belly was full he would rear up on a hillock in the calibre of the National Maternity Hospital, 29,30 and 31 Holles street, of bigness wrought by magic they make a compost out of Ireland were soon as it subsequently transpired for reasons best known to himself, the preposterous surmise about him might be observed by Mr V. Lynch Bacc. Arith. that both natality and mortality, as said, laying a hand on the loftiest and most worthy to be faced and exhorted the men of Olathoe, which put quite an altogether different complexion on the straw? Vel, I now desired to define my relation to it swells up wondrously like to a vast mountain. Not a pite of sheeses? Opera he'd like? And sir Leopold was passing grave maugre his word which forth to him her gate wide undid.

For who is ignorant of that establishment ever listened to the Liverpool boats, says Mr Stephen, and in him lay the last for to crush a cup of it, and she lay at him so heavied in bowels ruthful. They hark him on his wrists and clipped his forelock and rubbed him all over with spermacetic oil and built stables for him to preach that gospel. Wha gev ye thon colt? Not to insult over him will the vision come as over one that lies under her thatch. Neither place nor council was lacking in dignity. The secret panel beside the chimney slid back.

And whiles they spake the door. And her take me to traitorous somnolence with a punch in it a goodly hunk of wheaten loaf, a ruby and triangled sign upon the rood of time these votaries of levity into exemplary practitioners of an apoplexy and after hard drought, please God, I think a brevier book with, effectu secuto, or to hoof it on. Pflaaaap! The wise father knows his own fashion, though it had poured seven showers, we were neither of us a penny for his subtility. And all cried with one acclaim nay, the lancinating lightnings of whose brow are scorpions. Hi! She dare not bear the name, that's my name, that's my name, ever virgin.

In sum an infinite great fall of rain and for all their daddies, Theodore. The abnormalities of harelip, breastmole, supernumerary digits, negro's inkle, strawberry mark and portwine stain were alleged by one as a handful of mustard or a hasty pudding as you ever see what I always looks back on with a sweet smoky breath coming out of her own sex and the red-leaved trees of a rock or a corkfloat.

Home Life During Childhood — it was good, her parents have a bit of a strained relationship, but overall kept up appearances around Lady, and she was definitely spoiled. When she turned 16, they told her the truth about being adopted, but Lady just kind of--elected to ignore it, at least on the surface. What did it matter? Her parents still loved her and everything.

A follower, not a leader. Important Experiences or Events — Finding out she was adopted. Her first boyfriend (when she was sixteen, his name was Patrick Banks, they broke up pretty amicably.) Her first girlfriend (Constance, was her sorority sister. They kept their relationship a secret. Broke up because Constance wanted to go #public.) Her nudes getting leaked.

But, she definitely loves her Southern food. Exercise Habits — Does yoga. Goes for walks every morning. Is pretty in-shape. I give her a 6/10. Emotional Stability — Pretty good. She does the whole conceal, don’t feel thing. But she also tries to just push through things. Body Temperature — Runs a little hot.

I’d say more of an optimist for others, pessimist for herself

Likes and Styles:

Music — Country, of course! Loves Dixie Chicks, Lady Antebellum, Garth Brooks, Dierks Bentley. Both the more recent stuff and oldies. Though, she also loves some good pop music and more folky stuff too. She finds rap to be offensive and too “urban” and can’t understand why anyone would listen to something like that. Same with heavier stuff like rock’n’roll or screamo, etc, etc. Anything that shocks or offends is definitely not Lady’s cup of tea. She will go out of the way to listen to the clean versions of songs and I think that says a lot about her. Books — Gone with the Wind is her favorite. Her favourite book as a child was “Because of Winn-Dixie”; A Streetcar Named Desire, loves Pat Conroy and Nicholas Sparks. Also enjoys some Flannery O’Connor. Also enjoys In Cold Blood. Magazines — Oprah’s Magazine, The New Yorker, InStyle, Vogue, Country Living, Vanity Fair, The Weekly Standard, The American Conservative--she has a bit of a magazine addiction. Foods — Lady is very conscious about what she puts in her body. She’s certainly not vegetarian or a health nut, but she tries to balance herself. Though, that is hard to do with all the delicious Southern food. She loves ribs and barbecue and coleslaw and baked beans. Mashed potatoes and gravy. Chicken wings. And she absolutely adores sweets! She loves lemon drops and keeps boxes on her pretty much all the time. Drinks — Sweet tea, of course! Lady’s blood, she’s pretty sure, is sweet tea at this point. Chick-fil-a is the second best sweet tea to the one she makes at home and she used to go and get one almost every day. She was addicted. She’s gonna hate not having Chick-fil-a in Swynlake, or England really at all. Animals — Lady isn’t too much a fan of animals. She likes cute ones--dogs and cats and horses, but hates animals like rats/mice or possums. She believes they’re vermin that should be killed and dealt with. Hates snakes. Hates raccoons. Really she dislikes more animals than she likes probably. Sports — road horses, did softball when younger. Social Issues — right-leaning, is pro-life, things the gays shouldn’t get married (at least, outwardly, she’s still accepting that part of herself), is kind of afraid of people who seem “middle eastern” or uh like y’know just kind of in general American racist. You know. (Which is ironic bc she’s Mexican/Kuwaiti.) Favorite Saying — “After all, tomorrow is another day.” -- Scarlett O’Hara Color — Bright colors! Pinks and blues and reds and yellows--as long as it is bright! She also loves pastels, they are classic when it comes to fashion. Baby blues and powder pinks. She wears a lot of more neutral clothing too, but it is bright colors that make her the happiest and she will almost never be caught in something like black! Clothing — Her favorite stuff is her white dress for most Phi Mu events. Also loves her straw hats. Definitely a fan of her cowboy boots. She tends to dress modern/Southern. Owns way too much Lilly Pulitzer, probably. Jewelry — Her necklace of pearls is her favorite and she wears them to all special occasions. She wears jewelry to accessorize otherwise, but it’s usually costume jewelry. Websites — tumblr, instagram are her big ones TV Shows — Heartland, Pretty Little Liars, Gilmore Girls, Golden Girls, Gossip Girl (do you see the pattern here?) Movies — Gone with the Wind, of course, is a Southern classic. She also loves Under the Tuscan Sun. All Nicholas Sparks movies. Secret Life of Bees. Forrest Gump. Also loves musicals--loved La La Land when it came out and loves Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, etc. Not too sure about Hamilton. Some of the songs are good, but she doesn’t understand the hype. Greatest Want — to fit in somewhere Greatest Need — to accept herself

Where and How Does Your Character Live Now:

Home — She lives with her Aunt Sarah. She hates it. Household furnishings — Pretty modern. Nothing special. Favorite Possession — Her journals. Most Cherished Possession — Her pearls, they were her great grandmother’s. (Her older cousin Sarah Beth was pissed that Lady got them and she didn’t.) Neighborhood — Tortuga Place. Town or City Name — Swynlake Married Before — No. Significant Other Before — Patrick Banks, Constance Gutting, Don Barker Children — None Relationship with Family — A little strained, atm, but overall pretty good. Car — She had a black Chevy Sonic (2015) but not anymore. Career — Journalist for the Swynlake Squire. Dream Career — Journalist for Vogue or InStyle Dream Life — Married, writing a fashion blog, two kids, a dog. Love Life — Pretty nonexistent. Talents or Skills — Excellent writer, very organized, very good at taking care of people. Intelligence Level — Quite smart, rather intelligent.   Finances — Cut off, currently.

Top 10 to Run To

Top 10 to Run To

The following are my favorite books to listen to while running. The more detail there is to paint a picture for me and to keep my thoughts off of my burning lungs and aching hip flexors, the better! That's why Stephen King's IT is my number 1 choice. So much detail in that book, and if you're not paying attention to the detail, you're not going to understand what's happening.

Comedies are usually something that I don't listen to while running because I tend to lose control of my breathing when I'm laughing hysterically (I don't know if this is just me, or what?).  But Kevin Hart and Jim Gaffigan's books are perfect for those grey rainy days when you need a laugh just to get you through.

And then any time I can find a series that I enjoy running to, the more excited I am about running (I hate running, but I love it at the same time. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about!), and that's why I love The Warded Man (The Demon Cycle, Book 1). I'm anxiously waiting for book 5 to come out in October; perfect timing if you ask me!

The others on this list I love to run to just as much as the above mentioned for their own different reasons. Hopefully one of the following will be your perfect companion for that next run you have planned!

1) IT by Stephen King

Looking for a suspense-thriller? King's IT is the way to go! And just in time for the reboot that came out earlier this month.

To the children, the town was their whole world. To the adults, knowing better, Derry, Maine was just their home town: familiar, well-ordered for the most part. A good place to live. It was the children who saw - and felt - what made Derry so horribly different. In the storm drains, in the sewers, IT lurked, taking on the shape of every nightmare, each one's deepest dread. Sometimes IT reached up, seizing, tearing, killing . . . The adults, knowing better, knew nothing. Time passed and the children grew up, moved away. The horror of IT was deep-buried, wrapped in forgetfulness. Until they were called back, once more to confront IT as IT stirred and coiled in the sullen depths of their memories, reaching up again to make their past nightmares a terrible present reality.

2) The Warded Man by Peter V. Brett

For the sci-fi fantasy lovers out there, this is the one for you! 

As darkness falls after sunset, the corelings rise—demons who possess supernatural powers and burn with a consuming hatred of humanity. For hundreds of years the demons have terrorized the night, slowly culling the human herd that shelters behind magical wards—symbols of power whose origins are lost in myth and whose protection is terrifyingly fragile. It was not always this way. Once, men and women battled the corelings on equal terms, but those days are gone. Night by night the demons grow stronger, while human numbers dwindle under their relentless assault. Now, with hope for the future fading, three young survivors of vicious demon attacks will dare the impossible, stepping beyond the crumbling safety of the wards to risk everything in a desperate quest to regain the secrets of the past. Together, they will stand against the night. (Source)

3) I Can't Make this Up: Life Lessons by Kevin Hart

 Hysterical memoir with a serious side. Kevin will have you laughing and thinking of your journey to success at the same time.

Superstar comedian and Hollywood box office star Kevin Hart turns his immense talent to the written word by writing some words. Some of those words include: the, a, for, above, and even even. Put them together and you have the funniest, most heartfelt, and most inspirational memoir on survival, success, and the importance of believing in yourself since Old Yeller. The question you’re probably asking yourself right now is: What does Kevin Hart have that a book also has? According to the three people who have seen Kevin Hart and a book in the same room, the answer is clear: A book is compact. Kevin Hart is compact. A book has a spine that holds it together. Kevin Hart has a spine that holds him together. A book has a beginning. Kevin Hart’s life uniquely qualifies him to write this book by also having a beginning. It begins in North Philadelphia. He was born an accident, unwanted by his parents. His father was a drug addict who was in and out of jail. His brother was a crack dealer and petty thief. And his mother was overwhelmingly strict, beating him with belts, frying pans, and his own toys. The odds, in short, were stacked against our young hero, just like the odds that are stacked against the release of a new book in this era of social media (where Hart has a following of over 100 million, by the way). But Kevin Hart, like Ernest Hemingway, JK Rowling, and Chocolate Droppa before him, was able to defy the odds and turn it around. In his literary debut, he takes the reader on a journey through what his life was, what it is today, and how he’s overcome each challenge to become the man he is today. And that man happens to be the biggest comedian in the world, with tours that sell out football stadiums and films that have collectively grossed over $3.5 billion. He achieved this not just through hard work, determination, and talent: It was through his unique way of looking at the world. Because just like a book has chapters, Hart sees life as a collection of chapters that each person gets to write for himself or herself. “Not only do you get to choose how you interpret each chapter, but your interpretation writes the next chapter,” he says. “So why not choose the interpretation that serves your life the best?” (source)

4) Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell

For the analytic and the student to life, Outliers will have you questioning what your parents should have done differently that would have helped you win the race.

In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers"--the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing. Along the way he explains the secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be a great soccer player, why Asians are good at math, and what made the Beatles the greatest rock band. (source)

5) The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

Beautiful imagery, well written story, the only thing that would make The Night Circus better would be to listen to it while running in the dark.

The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night... But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway - a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love - a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands.  True love or not, the game must play out, and the fates of everyone involved, from the cast of extraordinary circus performers to the patrons, hang in the balance, suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead. (source)

6) See Me by Nicholas Sparks

Part romance, part thriller, See Me will satisfy a fan of either genre.

See me just as I see you . . . Colin Hancock is giving his second chance his best shot. With a history of violence and bad decisions behind him and the threat of prison dogging his every step, he's determined to walk a straight line. To Colin, that means applying himself single-mindedly toward his teaching degree and avoiding everything that proved destructive in his earlier life. Reminding himself daily of his hard-earned lessons, the last thing he is looking for is a serious relationship. Maria Sanchez, the hardworking daughter of Mexican immigrants, is the picture of conventional success. With a degree from Duke Law School and a job at a prestigious firm in Wilmington, she is a dark-haired beauty with a seemingly flawless professional track record. And yet Maria has a traumatic history of her own, one that compelled her to return to her hometown and left her questioning so much of what she once believed. A chance encounter on a rain-swept road will alter the course of both Colin and Maria's lives, challenging deeply held assumptions about each other and ultimately, themselves. As love unexpectedly takes hold between them, they dare to envision what a future together could possibly look like . . . until menacing reminders of events in Maria's past begin to surface. As a series of threatening incidents wreaks chaos in Maria's life, Maria and Colin will be tested in increasingly terrifying ways. Will demons from their past destroy the tenuous relationship they've begun to build, or will their love protect them, even in the darkest hour? (source)

7) Angels & Demons by Dan Brown

Start at the beginning of Robert Langdon's story in anticipation of the fifth (and final?) installment to his legend which is to hit shelves in early October.

An ancient secret brotherhood. A devastating new weapon of destruction. An unthinkable target...  When world-renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to a Swiss research facility to analyze a mysterious symbol -- seared into the chest of a murdered physicist -- he discovers evidence of the unimaginable: the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati... the most powerful underground organization ever to walk the earth. The Illuminati has surfaced from the shadows to carry out the final phase of its legendary vendetta against its most hated enemy... the Catholic Church.  Langdon's worst fears are confirmed on the eve of the Vatican's holy conclave, when a messenger of the Illuminati announces he has hidden an unstoppable time bomb at the very heart of Vatican City. With the countdown under way, Langdon jets to Rome to join forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and mysterious Italian scientist, to assist the Vatican in a desperate bid for survival.  Embarking on a frantic hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and even to the heart of the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra follow a 400-year old trail of ancient symbols that snakes across Rome toward the long-forgotten Illuminati lair... a secret location that contains the only hope for Vatican salvation.  An explosive international thriller, Angels & Demons careens from enlightening epiphanies to dark truths as the battle between science and religion turns to war.

8) Dad is Fat by Jim Gaffigan

A great comedic laugh is always needed while on a long run. If you have young children in the house, then this is a double win for you!

In Dad is Fat, stand-up comedian Jim Gaffigan, who’s best known for his legendary riffs on Hot Pockets, bacon, manatees, and McDonald's, expresses all the joys and horrors of life with five young children—everything from cousins ("celebrities for little kids") to toddlers’ communication skills (“they always sound like they have traveled by horseback for hours to deliver important news”), to the eating habits of four year olds (“there is no difference between a four year old eating a taco and throwing a taco on the floor”). Reminiscent of Bill Cosby’s Fatherhood, Dad is Fat is sharply observed, explosively funny, and a cry for help from a man who has realized he and his wife are outnumbered in their own home. (source)

9) Finding Ultra by Rich Roll

What book list for runners would be complete without a book about physical limits and running itself?

Finding Ultra is Rich Roll’s incredible-but-true account of achieving one of the most awe-inspiring midlife physical transformations ever.   One cool evening in October 2006, the night before he was to turn forty, Rich experienced a chilling glimpse of his future. Nearly fifty pounds overweight at the time and unable to climb the stairs without stopping, he could see where his current sedentary lifestyle was taking him.   Most of us, when granted such a moment of clarity, look the other way—but not Rich.   Plunging into a new way of eating that made processed foods off-limits and that prioritized plant nutrition, and vowing to train daily, Rich morphed—in a matter of mere months—from out-of-shape midlifer to endurance machine. When one morning ninety days into his physical overhaul, Rich left the house to embark on a light jog and found himself running a near marathon, he knew he had to scale up his goals. How many of us take up a sport at age forty and compete for the title of the world’s best within two years? Finding Ultra recounts Rich’s remarkable journey to the starting line of the elite Ultraman competition, which pits the world’s fittest humans against each other in a 320-mile ordeal of swimming, biking, and running. And following that test, Rich conquered an even greater one: the Epic5—five Ironman-distance triathlons, each on a different Hawaiian island, all completed in less than a week.   But Finding Ultra is much more than an edge-of-the-seat look at a series of jaw-dropping athletic feats—and much more than a practical training manual for those who would attempt a similar transformation. Yes, Rich’s account rivets—and, yes, it instructs,providing information that will be invaluable to anyone who wants to change their physique. But this book is most notable as a powerful testament to human resiliency, for as we learn early on, Rich’s childhood posed numerous physical and social challenges, and his early adulthood featured a fierce battle with alcoholism.   Ultimately, Finding Ultra is a beautifully written portrait of what willpower can accomplish. It challenges all of us to rethink what we’re capable of and urges us, implicitly and explicitly, to “go for it.”(source)

10) Grey by E. L. James

With this add on to Fifty Shades, trust me, you're mind will be focus on the book, and not the task at hand! *This book is intended for mature audiences

Christian Grey exercises control in all things; his world is neat, disciplined, and utterly empty—until the day that Anastasia Steele falls into his office, in a tangle of shapely limbs and tumbling brown hair. He tries to forget her, but instead is swept up in a storm of emotion he cannot comprehend and cannot resist. Unlike any woman he has known before, shy, unworldly Ana seems to see right through him—past the business prodigy and the penthouse lifestyle to Christian’s cold, wounded heart.   Will being with Ana dispel the horrors of his childhood that haunt Christian every night? Or will his dark sexual desires, his compulsion to control, and the self-loathing that fills his soul drive this girl away and destroy the fragile hope she offers him? (source)

Erin Dates NY: The Bartender v. The Regular

March 11, 2015

I always seem to get myself into some sort of trouble in New York. But by "trouble" I mean ROMANTIC WHIMSY! Lest we not forget my Brit or Italian guapo. OH MY GOD I ONLY KISS PEOPLE WITH ACCENTS WHEN I'M HERE. Until this time.

The Introduction(s)

I popped into a pub after a long, cold day and sat at the bar taking on the phone for a bit like a rude girl. As I tried really hard to focus on my conversation, I couldn't help but notice the darling bartender. Once I wrapped, he asked how my day was and got me my beer of choice, and this is precisely when I forgot how to speak. I just stared at him, imagining sentences I could say that felt detached from my real personality as a result of intimidation because I wanted to kiss his face. Eventually after watching him make five martinis for the group next to me, I said, "I'm just going to keep watching you." And he said, "great, do that," with a smirk and a smoldering look in his eyes.

IMAGE VIA STALKING HIS FACEBOOK, EDITS BY MOI

He broke the tension with an interesting conversation about how no one knows how to properly order a martini, and I was able to hold my own on the topic. (I quizzed him on how to make the kind of martini I like, and he passed.) He asked where I was from and I said Los Angeles, and he told me he was from Long Beach and I shrieked "ME TOO!!!!!" in an intolerable pitch at unnecessary volume.

Things sped up from there. We compared notes about neighborhoods, high schools, colleges, and more, and I was smitten. And then I found out he graduated HIGH SCHOOL the year after I graduated COLLEGE. LOLOLOLOLOL. Also, he's an actor because that's all I know how to meet (?).

I ordered another beer and some dinner, and by the time it arrived I realized there was a decent looking guy at the bar to my right. The Bartender knew him as a regular, and he asked him to weigh in on the current topic of conversation: what water tastes like. The Regular and I got to arguing and then talking and when I looked over at The now-lonely Bartender he looked sad, which made me happy because it obviously meant he loved me.

And then I drank more beer.

And then The Bartender offered us all a shot of JAMESON which tasted like future regret.

And then The Bartender was back in the conversation and I had two bar boyfriends and things were going great.

UNTIL.

The Bartender told us he was off work soon. I suggested we all hang out and he said HE HAD A DATE. A TINDATE.

I was floored. I invited myself. I told him to cancel, and he told me he was too nice of a guy to do that on such short notice, or else he would (I'm SURE). He brought me my check, sans most of my beers and with his number included, and then he changed out of his bar uniform and into a dashing chambre shirt that had my heart a-flutter, and left.

The Regular

STYLED AND PHOTOGRAPHED BY ERIN DATES L.A., MODEL: THE REGULAR

So there I was with The Regular and the beginning of a new story. We ordered one more round, this time he got a martini, and I asked him about his dating life and he SPILLED. So much so, that I stopped him and said, "I blog about dating and if you don't mind I'd like to take notes" AND THEN I PULLED OUT A PAD OF PAPER AND PEN AND TOOK THE MOST ILLEGIBLE NOTES ABOUT HOW HE DIDDLED SOME GIRL FROM HIS KICKBALL TEAM AND THEN HER BEST FRIEND AND NOW THEY'RE ALL FIGHTING. You guys. I really did this. But like, he was as into the attention as I was into the story, so it seemed like a fair trade.

He was afraid that the story would make me not like him and it totally did because it became absolutely clear that he was a pretty big dick to girls. Finance guy who owns an apartment in NYC and jets down to Florida on the weekends and has a tattoo that says "MOM," just so we're clear who I'm dealing with here. HOWEVER, he was also pretty charming and it was cold outside and I was bored and buzzed so I continued to hang out with him in the warm bar full of booze. I'm not going to say we didn't kiss. If you're judging me get off my blog -- this is my safe place!

The Bartender

The next day I texted The Bartender to ask how his night went. His date went "pretty alright" and he said he had fun meeting me (duh). We talked about mundane things throughout the day like how he got an eye infection (my reply? “You're probably still cute.” I’M PATHETIC!) and his new couch that was delivered through Amazon (um did you know you can order couches on Amazon??).

The next night I went out in Williamsburg with my friends and tried really hard to move on, but I just wasn't into any of the mustaches and sweaters, so I texted The Bartender to ask how late he was working. He said 4a.m. (I LOVE NEW YORK) and invited me to come drink. I took an Uber from Brooklyn to downtown, and $75 dollars later (lol oops) I was sitting in front of The Bartender, nay, MY Bartender. I just wanted to stare at his pretty face!! I watched him count money, wipe down the bar and entertain those last few drunks, and when 4:30AM rolled around he asked where I was headed. I told him I was staying with my friend who was at her boyfriends for the night and he offered to make sure I got a taxi and home safely. He came in for a bit and you just have to picture this: a sweet little 22 year old boy who probably eats ramen for dinner and lives in squalor, walking into my friend's gorgeous, grown up Chelsea apartment that has a fireplace and full fridge and plants and art. His eyes fell out of his head. I digress.

We sat on the couch and it was a little bit awkward. He asked “what do you want to do?” and I asked “what do you want to do?” and he mocked me for repeating him, making a general statement about how girls are so indecisive. To shut him up I leaned over and said FINE, THIS is what I want to do and I kissed him. It was nice. This little puppy dog was more alluring behind a bar, although he was still a babe sitting next to me on the couch. "Babe" here has two meanings though: infant-like AND hot! It was very confusing and as I ran my fingers through his thick, luscious hair I suddenly felt matronly and decided it was time for him to go, kicking him out at 6AM.

Here's to hoping The Bartender and The Regular never compare notes.

Week-End Update: Hazy Days of Summer

Another week is over with a bunch more dogs saved and a few more adopted.  All in all, that makes for a good week here at TLC. Our boy Jacques’s foster family fell in love with him immediately so, to paraphrase Beyonce, they put a name tag  on it and now he’s a full fledged member of the family!

Also adopted this week were Baily, Carly, Cookie Crisp, Elvira & Sheba (the Chihuahua)

  Lucy aka Lulu

“Yes, she’s settling in well! She loves her dog bed (photos below) and relaxing in the house (must love the AC!). She also has some fun running around in the backyard! She is very smart and lets me know when she wants to go outside by going near the sliding glass doors. She’s also gotten used to my schedule with going to the bathroom, work, sleep etc. I taught her to sit in order to get a treat in just 1 day! She now does it right away. I plan to teach her a few more commands, working on ‘stay’ right now. She has been very well behaved, very gentle and friendly towards people, and has gotten along with most dogs (petsmart and pet store visits; holding off on bringing her to work for another week).

I have kept her name Lucy but also have her the nickname of Lulu. So Lucy ‘Lulu’ is on her new dog tag.”

  Oliver

#gallery-3 margin: auto; #gallery-3 .gallery-item float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; #gallery-3 img border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; #gallery-3 .gallery-caption margin-left: 0; /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

“We just love Oliver! He has become a wonderful addition to our family! Yes, we kept his name and he is settling in just fine. He has a house full of love!” 

  Avery

“On Saturday it will be exactly 6 months since we picked up Avery. She is a most wonderful dog, loving and lots of fun. She has a great sense of smell. It’s amazing what she comes up with on our daily walks in the nearby woods.

Wouldn’t trade her for the world.”

  Izzy FKA Doc (Avery’s pup)

  Bailey FKA Dopey (Avery’s pup)

Bailey FKA Dopey

“Yes, I can’t believe Bailey (Dopey) will be 8 months old this Friday!  He (we) are doing very well.  Bailey is a crazy loving character who LOVES doggy day care and car rides to his “mom mom and pop pop’s” house where he has his own baby pool to play in. as well as a big fenced in back yard.  He is going through training with the woman I used to train my beloved mastiff, Cooper, and has his level 1 test this Thursday.

  I will send you some pictures of our boy very soon.

I’d love to have a meet up with his litter mates if their humans are up for something like that sometime soon.  I may also stop at one of the meet n greet events with Bailey, so some of the TLC family can see how well he is doing.”

  Theia FKA May (Marsha’s pup)

“Hi! We are very happy with May-Theia! We named her Theia because it means Goddess of Blue Skies. She is growing and doing well. I had one appointment with the Vet on July 7th and have a follow up on July 28th. At the time Theia weighed 6.5 pounds. She is very smart, alert and sweet. Theia has adjusted well to her surroundings”

  Flint FKA Mark (Marsha’s pup)

“We changed his name to Flint. He seems to be taking to the home quite nicely. My vet did not have any openings until next week, so unfortunately I won’t be getting him in as soon as I would like to. He seems to sleep pretty well at night, last night he was a little whiny but not bad. We are looking forward to a very happy life with him!”

  Fiona FKA Mary (Marsha’s pup)

“We are loving our new little puppy. She’s so adorable And good. I put a picture up on to love the canine Facebook group. And it looks like our picture was up as a group picture. We named her Fiona. And thank you for all the information that you gave me. I really appreciate it and your follow up .”

  Reese FKA Maybelle (Marsha’s pup)

“She is doing really well. We changed her name to Reese. We have an apt on Sunday for her first vet visit. She has been such a welcome addition to our family. We have only had a few accidents a day with peeing. She has learned to sit with commands and treats already. Next week we will start a new trick. We couldn’t be more happy with out decision to adopt her. She does really well in her crate too. “

  Cassie FKA Marcy

#gallery-7 margin: auto; #gallery-7 .gallery-item float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; #gallery-7 img border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; #gallery-7 .gallery-caption margin-left: 0; /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

“We decided to change her name from Marcy to Cassie! She is settling in very well and we have been keeping her in a decent schedule. She is so lovable and playful. Such a happy friendly puppy. I will send some update pictures when i get done work today. My girlfriend is setting a vet appointment as well. We couldn’t more happy right now!”

  Dolly FKA Ivory

Dolly FKA Ivory

“We are changing Ivory’s name to Dolly.  It just seems to fit her personality.   She’s doing ok.  Has a serious thing about shoes but is not chewing them.  Dolly collects them and moves them to another room.   Maybe this will train certain people to put them away?

  Dolly has the first appointment I could get with our vet so that is scheduled.  Also her first obedience class begins with Peppers Paws and Eryn on July 19th.  I am looking forward to this.  We are still working on sit. 

Thanks fior such a beautiful gentle little girl for our family.    My husband is her biggest fan! “

  Lupo FKA Baxley

“We have changed his name to LUPO.  He has been perfect!

We have been taking him for walks 4-5 times a day and he is great on the leash and has not had one accident in the house so far, knock on wood.  I have put a crate in our bedroom with the door open, but he seems to like his dog bed better.  He also never cries when we leave in the morning or at lunch.  The only strange thing so far is that he poops almost everytime we walk him.  It was soft at first but has been getting better. I think maybe we gave him too much food to begin with, but have cut it back to a cup a day now.

He has been barking at people and other dogs while walking, but it seems to be getting better.

We found a local vet with great reviews and scanned and sent them Lupo’s records: http://sheehanveterinarycentre.com/.  We have an appointment on Thursday.

I believe Erin updated his name and address online and we got him a new tag.

I want to thank you and Erin so much for your help.  I feel like other shelters may have looked down upon us simply because we have a Camden City address while your shelter responsive and so nice since the beginning.  I have whole-heartedly recommended your organization to my family and coworkers at Rowan University and the Cooper Hospital.”

  Kona FKA Nugget

#gallery-8 margin: auto; #gallery-8 .gallery-item float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 20%; #gallery-8 img border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; #gallery-8 .gallery-caption margin-left: 0; /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

“Everything has been going so well with Kona (FKA Nugget), and I can’t believe it’s already been 6 months! She is such a sweet dog and loves to greet everyone and anyone. She loves to sleep, which means she’s also the best cuddler. She loves going on car rides and I try and take her everywhere, including an upcoming road trip to Charleston, SC and Shenandoah Valley, VA. She also loves to be outside and lay in the sunshine. I’ve never met a dog that is more laid back, sweet, loving, and goofy as Kona. I am so lucky to have had the opportunity to adopt her, she’s brought so much happiness into my life!”

  Snowball

“He is just a delight! He is really enjoying summer at our house…loves playing in our backyard, chasing away the rabbits that are so plentiful around here , sunbathing on our patio, going on long walks.   He also loves to snuggle, and looks forward to stretching out on the couch with us in the evening to relax !  He is just a wonderful little dog, a much loved member of our family …we are still amazed that he was once a unwanted pet!   Thank you so much again for bringing our little guy to us

Please pass our thanks on to everyone at TLC!  I v recommended TLC to many people since Snowball has become ours….you all do such a selfless and amazing job. “

“Iggy was shy at first but is coming out of his shell and has already wiggled his way into our hearts. He likes the couch much better than his dog bed because he wants to be by his people all the time. Vet gave him a clean bill of health.”

“Elvis is doing great. He loves going camping with us. He gets to meet other dogs and people too. He’s very friendly and playful to both. He now weighs around 90 lbs and is very strong but also gentle. We certainly are happy to have him as part of our family. Saturday he will be coming with us on a long RV trip to Glacier National Park in Montana. Lots to see, and smell. And I’m sure he’ll meet more new dogs and people.”

  We also had a visit from a blast from the past during today’s meet & greet when Chai FKA Tai came by
