[livvyofthelake]

girl who wanted to watch sooo many movies this week because her work schedule was finally normal again but can’t even make it through bottoms tonight

[1d1195]

A PENNY?!?! Sam literally how?! AND FOR JEANS?! but you know what I would try to achieve that high again too lol But yay for shopping! Hope you got some lovely stuff bestie!

Dealing with teens all day for the entire work week is CRAZY so I dont blame you for having constant headaches lol oddly enough my brother is the one that suffers from headaches lol Oh hormones for sure cause the stomach to be wack which is so unfair! this period will NOT affect you on your break!! A period is never fun but hope youre taking care of yourself!

ME TOO!!! I do not fit in those flared/bell bottom jeans thats trendy now which is tragic solely because that's all i ever see in stores!?! Im also not even close to being considered tall or petite and those just make me look so off too bahah So skinny jeans for me have always been the option where although not the best option, they are the lesser evil of jeans lol

AWW that's so cute! Little Sam was such an icon for that!(you still are obvi) You should for sure should revisit the marry janes for the fall!!! I am waiting for that day too! Sam I don't think you know how much of a HATER i am of electric scooters, i am fighting a battle everyday trying not to get killed by them on campus 😭 But I love that coleege was walkable for you! It must have been nice getting to know the area well!

I had a feeling you played softball at least! Idk if my mind was just projecting the Made to be Universe/storyline but softball seemed like something you would have done/enjoyed! But omg you were like a full on athlete?! That's so cool! Not the injuries of course but the rest is!

I tense up so quickly because im very awkward about my feelings😭SAM THERE HAD TO BE MANY THAT FOUND YOU HOT! i kid you not being smart is SO attractive! Plus a cute girly who is GOOD at math in a typically guy dominated field!? The puns seem like a very you thing and i love that honestly! I think its so cute when people do that!

ALSO THAT POLL😭 bestie I cant choose😭I need them ALL! I spent a good minute thinking about my vote lol very excited though!

Have such a lovely start to your break Sam! love you!-💜

If there is a coupon I will find it lol. I can't tell you how many times I've signed up for American Eagle text messages and then unsubscribed just to get 15% off every time. I think I had a crazy reward and then the jeans were already on sale. I'm pretty sure they have to charge you something in order for the sale to go through so I think they HAD to charge me something.

I'm already enjoying my break actually despite my period. Thank God for Midol tbh I think I would die without it. My body is very clockwork so after cramps for a FUN 24 hours it's usually much more manageable. I HAVE to take meds though even if I don't feel crampy right away. The second my body realizes I'm on my period it's like "TIME FOR CRAMPS" and again, if I don't take the meds right away I get behind the pain and I am FUCKED for the remainder of the 24 hours.

I am trying to relax as much as possible because May and June are going to be crazy with senior prom/graduation and stuff. Plus I've outsourced myself as well for lots of other projects 🙃 I really need to learn to say no (time to reread Dolcezza) But I plan on finishing this book I'm reading (I haven't done very well reading lately, but I'm telling myself it's okay because it's not a race and I read a lot early on.) I do have to do some lesson planning but I actually enjoy that because I find math soothing like a psychopath hahahahaha

That's amazing you like skinny jeans. I feel so ostracized sometimes when it comes to my jeans choices. All my friends and coworkers have moved on with the trends and I'm still in 2013/2014/2015/2016 hahaha. VERY controversial: I actually really like jeans. I always by jegging jeans so they're super stretchy and comfy. Obviously if I can wear leggings I will hahahaha.

I'm crying about the electric scooter. You must be on a sizable campus to have electric scooters that's so funny. People drove their bikes/skateboards around campus a lot but no scooters. I loved the area my college was in (I actually live down the street from it in an apartment now because I love this area so much) it's very much the setting behind My Friend's Toyota hahaha

LOOK AT YOU MISS DETECTIVE HAHAHAHAHA I didn't even realize that about Made to Be that's so funny and true. I tried a bit of everything tbh. I did swimming (mostly so I wouldn't die growing up on the beach) and tennis lessons which I wasn't good at either but I really enjoyed anyway. I suck at ice skating (do you know how often you use your ankles for pretty much every sport? 🙃) and idk what it is about basketball but I may as well just sit in the middle of the court it would be less harmful to those around me.

OH BESTIE SAME HERE ABOUT FEELINGS. Everyone around me told me my bf liked me before we started dating and I was like "No he doesn't he thinks I'm gross" ☠ if they found me hot and attractive I kinda wish they told me! 😭 it's selfish but it would have done a nice boost to my ego. I was never the 'looked' at friend if you will. I called myself The DUFF™ all throughout middle and high school I really did a number on my self-esteem 😭 I am probably a little toxic when it comes to being a STEM girly lol because I tried so hard in high school and college to prove I was just as smart as the boys (sometimes more actually 😉)

For the poll it's just about the order which I think is kind of fun! I hope other people are enjoying it--I find it really helpful! I thought I did a lot of my more "obscure" stories on the last round of voting so I thought it would be nice to bring back some of the more popular series. I almost threw Protection on there too but thought it was too much (and too mean to make that decision) hahahaha

SECRETLY DATING/FUCKING PLOTS

We’re coworkers and usually that wouldn’t be a problem but I’m your boss, so stop looking at me like that

We’re roommates and I swear if anyone else we live with found out we’d be tormented until the lease was up

You used to be my teacher/professor and it’s totally cool that we’re seeing each other now, not weird at all- not even when we run into people- maybe this should be kept quiet

You’re my RA and you signed a contract saying you wouldn’t hook up with your residents but can we overlook that for just tonight? and next week? and for the rest of the semester, maybe?

We hooked up after the office party even though there’s a strict no dating rule and honestly? we shouldn’t keep doing this but it was really fun

I’m your ex’s new roommate and you were only coming by to pick up your stuff and you walked in on me dancing around in my underwear

We’re in group therapy together

We’re competing against one another for valedictorian/that promotion

Your sibling is my significant other

We’re part of a trio of friends but we don’t want our friend to feel like the third wheel

You’re my best friend’s ex

We’re both camp counselors at a sleep-away camp

Our kids are dating

I’m your boss’s child

You’re a really close friend of my sibling/parent/cousin/roommate but we also really hit it off?

We were high school sweethearts that grew apart and into our own lives, but now we live in the same town/we work at the same place/our kids go to the same school/your significant other is my work bestie

-----

exes aus

we just broke up and you came over to get a box of your stuff from my place but wtf the power went out because of a really bad storm and you shouldn’t be driving in this just … chill for a couple of hours, okay?

we broke up years ago and both moved away, lost touch. now our friends each suggested a blind date and shit, you’re my date apparently.

we moved into a little apartment together while we were dating and then we broke up but neither of us could really afford to get our own place so now we’re stuck as roommates, watching each other bring home random one night stands or dates.

you were my brother/sister’s best friend and that’s how we met, and started dating. now we broke up and you’re obviously still friends with them, and you spend nights at my place but now it’s just awkward to run into you in the hall way at 1 am right after my shower.

we broke up right before a giant roadtrip our friends planned and we don’t want to bail on everyone and ruin the trip so yay, looks like we get to spend a five hour drive and a weekend in a cottage together.

we were our high school’s golden couple but we went to different colleges and the distance broke us up. fifteen years later, i’m in the middle/just getting over a bad marriage and you’re having your own relationship problems and it’s the high school reunion.

we dated pretty seriously and your parents were also absentee. now we are broken up and it’s like five years later and your absentee father is my new boss.

disgustingly cute domestic scenes to imagine your otp in:

getting slightly too drunk in the middle of the afternoon and slow dancing to dumb cheesy old music and kissing in a way that’s more laughter than actual kissing, mouths clumsy and hands gripping tight and sunlight slanting over them as they move lazily together

curling up on the sofa together, feet tucked under thighs and arms around shoulders, watch the kind of crap tv that only airs at 3am because they don’t want to go to untangle themselves to go to bed

hectic mornings when they each need to be somewhere and they’re rushing around each other, ducking into bathrooms and bedrooms and kitchen cupboards, pausing to straighten tops and press kisses to cheeks

going through old photos together and collapsing into laughter every three pictures, and zooming in on ones where they’re pulling awful faces or ones that were taken at just the wrong moment

getting ready for nights out together, standing shoulder to shoulder as they brush their teeth or get their faces ready or style their hair, knocking elbows and hips as they try and hog more space

standing quietly together in the kitchen after long, exhausting days, leaning into each other for support, breathing in the smell of home, fingers carding through hair and stroking down spines, until they feel like they can relax and smile properly again

Massive rant - sorry

Here is a story I need to tell, I haven't told it to anyone ever. But for some reason it's weighing heavily on my mind tonight.

When I was 15 years old I told my best friend in confidence that I was bisexual (little did I know she was homophobic) not even an hour later there were whispers around the whole school. The next day it was a fully formed rumour Heather is a lesbian, by the end of the week girls didn't want to be in the changing room if I was there, this went on for months. My 'best friend' wouldn't talk to me like she used to, we didn't have sleepovers anymore and I didn't spend days at her house, she was becoming difficult. I had fallings out with her over small things, then all of a sudden we weren't friends any more. It was hard because we weren't popular (though I was the kid everyone knew but didn't know why) so we shared the same group of 4 friends. She tried breaking the friendship down of our other friends so she could get a new bestie. I fell in to a depression that also included minor self harm (usually deliberately cutting my hands in science and graphics classes punching walls that sort of stuff.) I was to afraid to see someone about this so tried to bury it. I got a few new friends who excepted me which upset 'bestie' my other group of friends tried to patch things up between us but it didn't work even I got help from some teachers to meet and talk to her in a safe environment but she always sat silently ignored me. Fast forward a few months and I start getting prank calls to the house, I bring it up with the others and they said they were getting the same. A few choice words (can't remember what l) in front of 'bestie' earns me a trip to the head of years office. Apparently her mum called school to say I had been spreading rumours about her, I get told I could be excluded from my GCSEs if I didnt stop, not once were my parents involved (at least not that they said). Also What the fuck, they all knew she started rumours about me a few months before. But by this point the rumours were subsiding and people were talking to me again, yay me. My new best friend was helping me with my issues, unfortunately for me I developed a massive crush on her and after our exams I started distancing myself, even more so when she got a boyfriend ( I was a massive dick and didn't go to her wedding and no she lives in Sweden.)

Anyway I digress, there is 1 year between me and my older sister and 2 from one of my younger sisters, so naturally my young sister heard the rumours first hand but dismissed them. My older sister had dropped out of 6th form so only heard 2nd hand rumours. One night she comes home from the pub and says someone told her I was a lesbian and if its true. I panicked ask who would say such things and then told her to think who they are friends with (she tried getting me to talk to her lesbian friend who I was also crushing on big time, obvs that made me nervous so I never talked to her well that was a HUGE MISTAKE). For the next 2 years, I lost all my friends and I denied the claims about my sexuality, started majorly doubting my self isolating my self from others and trying not to form close friendships with others. When I started working 12 years ago I found that I would often mix up wanting to be like someone and wanting to be with them, especially to anyone (mostly females) who was nice to me. I developed feelings for a few colleagues so started disassociating my self from them outside work (again HUGE MISTAKE) I didnt actually say I am a lesbian out loud to until I got my first car then it was only to me. I only believed it as who I am a few months ago. To this day I have only said this out loud to 3 people all of whom where less than a year old when I said it ( my niece and nephews who are now only 7 & 3 respectively), my coworkers suspect my orientation and I don't dare think what my parents think. I too scared to tell my family, they're an accepting bunch of people always saying it doesn't matter who we like as long as we're comfortable with ourselves. But I'm not entirely comfortable and I think it's because I didnt own it in school, I also gained a lot of weight leaving school and got very self conscious about my body (I've lost weight now but still struggle with a chubby flabby belly) believing no one would love me because of it.

Anyway sorry to rant for so long, I'm sure none of this makes sense to anyone but me. And as I said it's weighing heavy on my mind tonight.

A bit weird coming from me but always be yourself, you come first, self care is the most important thing ever. I just wish someone told younger me this and maybe I wouldn't be such a screwed up 'adult' with very low self confidence.
