“Regulus would be proud of us,” James whispered quietly to no one in particular, still gripping onto the painting like a life raft.

cfv characters on a road trip. Together. Yes they are in the same car rip.
(This took me like . a week to do im rlly busy ahdhbsxhsbx)
Aichi: Car sick but trying to have a good time. He is trying to help work the GPS and it isn’t working. He’s about the destination not the journey
Kai: If he isn’t asleep then he’s staring out the window daydreaming to the radio. That, or he is forced into yet another game of hangman with Miwa who is b-o-r-e-d.
Misaki: Has the map and tells Aichi to quit fooling with the GPS we don’t need it 🙄🙄🙄 she has taken everyone’s aux cord privileges . Kamui keeps trying to connect to Bluetooth audio and she’s gonna beat him
Kamui: is being voted to be tied to the roof. Sadly, the spot is taken. Further details later in. He leaves trash and wrappers in the door handle thing
Miwa: again, this boy is bored. He brought all the paper games available. Hangman, sudoku, he will even resort to tic tac toe. Please????
Ren: the local menace. He has to pee an hour in. And he is also hungry. Also he wants to change seats. He wants to get out and stretch. Oh man is that a detour?!?!?
Asaka: texting. She’s texting Ren actually but. Sigh
Tetsu: he is driving because he’s the only one who has a drivers license. Kai and Ren used to have them but Kai doesn’t renew it and Ren lost his in between the seat and the middle compartment. Gone but not forgotten.
Kyou: i bet you expected HIM to be tied to the roof? alas! he is clinging onto the back of the car with rollerblades on! behold!
Kourin: If morikawa plays the ultra rare CD one more time? this car ride is going to get UGLY. Otherwise, shes just glad to be on break
Naoki: He dropped a bag of powder candy all over the floor of the car. this is a fucking nightmare. He is no longer allowed to have car snacks PERIOD.
Shingo: He is ECSTATIC to be surrounded by cool people. me too man me too.
Morikawa: again hes playing the ultra rare CD, but hes also singing along! Its bad but maybe endearing? he is not the one tied to the roof either..?
Izaki: He is longingly looking out the window with headphones on
Ibuki: we have reached the end of the list... how? how could it be him? Ibuki was tied to the roof not because he was annoying or because he was voted out of the car, but because he was up there putting luggage on the roof when the car started moving! guess what! they fucking forgot him!!!!!!!! So of course he is panicking but the car wont stop no matter how hard he bangs on the roof and waves his hands in the windows and he knows if he distracts the driver he could die so... the only logical solution? tie himself to the roof so he wont... die. let us hope he survives

More Than Meets the Eye #29 - The One Where Everyone Gets Super Shiny
Our issue opens up with Swerve laying down the Story So Far in the Exposition Dimension.
Fantastic, you funky little man.
If Swerve looks like he’s been tossed through the car wash a few dozen times, it’s because this is where our new colorist comes in! Everyone, please say hello to Joana Lafuente- known for her love of gradients and attention to light sources, this actually isn’t the first time we’ve run into her. Lafuente worked on colors for several issues of The Transformers (2009), Last Stand of the Wreckers #3, and a few issues of MTMTE Season 1. However, she was matching the styles of her co-colorists on a majority of these, so we haven’t seen her style properly until now.
Getting into the story proper, Cyclonus is busying himself with staring out the window at a PNG of space, as he is wont to do, when he hears the tell-tale sound of tires squealing down the hall towards his room. Oh, goodness, whoever could that be?
Nearly forgot about him, didn’t you? Yeah, it’s a little difficult to follow up on things like a character’s recovery from a horrific disease when you’ve got comic event contract obligations to deal with.
After getting tackled by Tailgate, who reminds us all about the time he stuck his dirty little fingers into a dude’s brain meat, Cyclonus takes the little nerd on a walk through the ship.
You’re not going to convince me to reread “Dark Cybertron”. I don’t care how much of a marshmallow you are, it’s not happening.
They’re passed by Megatron and a bunch of crew members carrying that coffin we saw at the end of last issue down the corridor, Tailgate has a moment, and we get a taste of Cyclonus’ distaste for the Autobots as a whole. Tailgate is mildly offended by this, as he gropes his chest in distain, showing off his shiny new Autobot badge- a gift for not dying a terrible, gruesome death.
Good job, Tailgate. Proud of you.
They’re also passed by an absolutely blitzed Jackpot and Mainframe, the former singing Tailgate’s Tyrest-stopping praises as the latter carts him over to the Medibay to deal with the almost alcohol poisoning he’s got going on. Cyclonus remarks that Tailgate was missed, though Tailgate can’t help but wonder if that’s really true.
Y’all like slowburn romance, right? Because these two dumbasses have been roommates for two years, and we’ve just gotten to the point where physical contact can happen without one of them needing to be dying.
Anyway, it’s been a good day for Tailgate so far. Let’s hope it stays that way for the little dude.
...And that’s a series wrap on Tailgate! Let’s give him a hand, folks!
Hopping back in time to Megatron’s trial, things get underway, as Optimus Prime takes a nap in the judge’s bench as Gripper- whose name you don’t need to remember, as he’s not actually important- tells everyone about how brutal the Decepticon Justice Division is, even to Autobots. Which isn’t really supposed to be their deal, given their, y’know, name, but I suppose nobody’s perfect.
Up in the stands, in an… opera box, I guess? Rodimus is watching the proceedings, when Atomizer walks in. Which I guess you can just do in a Cybertronian court case. Sure.
Atomizer, in case you forgot, is the dude who has a bow and arrow, and used to be an interior designer.
Say, didn’t Whirl has a bow and arrow in the last issue when he attacked Megatron? Mighty curious, that.
Rodimus and Atomizer briefly reflect on the DJD, recalling the horror that was Vos- not that Vos, the other one. Rodimus would really just rather this all be over with so the Lost Light can get back to finding the Knights of Cybertron, and it’s at this point that Atomizer breaks out a thing he really ought not have- the count for the vote on whether or not Rodimus should stay on as captain. Rodimus doesn’t want to look at it, because it was supposed to be anonymous for a reason, and tells Atomizer to destroy the list entirely.
Hm, that’s not a terribly determined face there, Rodimus.
Back in the present, specifically in Swerve’s, Groove is threatening to break Streetwise’s arm, as we get the downlow on just what exactly our Legislator buddy’s deal is. Turn’s out, Swerve got one of the things reprogrammed, so that he follows not the Autobot Code, but something else entirely.
Hey, Swerve?
I don’t expect you to know this, because I don’t think you were present when they revealed this information to the readers, but… your new bouncer is made of people. He’s a dude made of other dudes, namely the Circle of Light. There’s a chance that you reprogrammed a sentient being, my good bitch.
Anyway, Swerve’s in a fucking mood because his shoulder hurts, someone’s stealing his shit, and Megatron has joined the narrative. Over at a nearby table, Skids, Nautica, and Riptide take a gander at the tabloids. Trailcutter, who is positively smashed, to the point where he’s just leaking booze out of his face like it’s his job, isn’t terribly interested in that, however.
What an astute observation, Riptide. And people say you’re stupid!
Trailcutter wants to drink some more, because it’s very likely he’s got a problem, but the mention of “Megatron’s super fuel” makes him feel like it’s time to stop hounding Swerve and start performing crimes.
Back during the trial, we get to Starscream’s testimony. He’s wearing his crown. He’s acting like a self-righteous asshole, as he defends Megatron.
Well, “defend” in the technical, legal sense, I suppose.
But really it’s more about him insulting Megatron’s intelligence, strength, and courage, in front of a LOT of people, while also trying to make himself look better in the war crime department. Megatron doesn’t appreciate this very much, if his murder-face is anything to go by.
Megatron lets Ultra Magnus (his defender, if you’ll recall) know that he wants a private word, and court goes into a brief recess.
Back in the present, Nightbeat’s busy looking at a pin-up of Rung’s alt-mode, when someone knocks on his door. That someone is Chromedome, who’s trying to solve the mystery of The Missing Declaration of Love. Not that he says that specifically out loud.
You two were married, why- okay. No point in yelling at this digital copy of a comic book.
Anyway.
So, the whole screaming thing only happened the one time, and everything was back to normal on subsequent plays of Rewind’s message. Nightbeat seems to be leaning towards the depressive isolating getting to Chromedome, which Chromedome responds to by telling him to get the fuck out. Alas, someone’s blocking the door!
YO WHAT THE FUCK-
Back with Trailcutter’s subplot, our drunken friend is in the middle of breaking into the Medibay. Our trio of cool-colored pals watch him from back at the bar, by way of a laptop that looks like it was built the same year I was born.
As Trailcutter attempts to commit a crime, Megatron, Ultra Magnus, and Ratchet pass by, trying to figure out how to handle the whole coffin situation. Trailcutter’s about to punch the locks off a door, and Nautica decides that this is where she’s going to draw the line today, leaving the gaggle of fools to their shenanigans. Then Tailgate glomps Skids, throwing the computer to the ground and breaking it, as Trailcutter finds the door to the Medibay magically open.
If you don’t know what glomping is, there’s a 60% chance that you’re not old enough to vote in the US.
Trailcutter sneaks into the Medibay, we get a reminder that Ambulon is super dead, and Trailcutter commits theft from a food bank. What a guy.
This is the point where security shows up, armed with a great deal of guns, one of which is Megatron himself. Trailcutter, instead of feeling super powerful, actually feels positively awful after consuming Megatron’s rations of “super fuel”. Because he, as an Autobot, doesn’t want to be within 50 yards of Megatron, Trailcutter breaks out the forcefields the moment the guy approaches him. And oh, what a doozy this one is.
Trailcutter’s gotten himself a fancy new trick- this forcefield he’s broken out lasts for a solid half-hour, and he can’t turn it off. I’m sure that won’t bite him in the ass at any point in the near future, no-siree!
Back in the past, Rattrap is commending Starscream on playing the field and getting the public slightly more on his side, but Starscream’s too busy patting himself on the back to really pay attention. He knew damn well that Megatron wouldn’t like what he had to say on the stand, and now things are finally looking up for ol’ Screamer.
Over with Optimus Prime, Slamdance is showing off how the general public is really into this whole “folks being held accountable for their actions” thing.
In the present, Chromedome and Nightbeat seem to have remembered they have alt-modes and are driving down the hall back to Nightbeat’s room- wonder what the speed limit for the Lost Light is?- and discuss just what the hell happened. The current theory is that the Rewind they saw was a Data Ghost- a collection of information so dense, it had a not-quite-physical presence that wasn’t 100% removed when he died.
Which is a little fucked up, but let’s see where this goes.
Nightbeat undoes the 40,000 locks on his door while Chromedome bleeds guilt all over the shag carpet over the fact that he hasn’t been looking for Dominus Ambus like he said he would.
C’mon James, gimme that Chromedominus endgame.
Nightbeat finally opens the door to find a small problem.
Hm. That’s… not normal.
Over in the Medibay, Trailcutter’s bubble has burst, allowing Megatron to slap him in the back of the head. This head-slapping induces his FIM chip permanently, making it so that he can never get drunk again.
Weird party trick, Megatron. Kinda shitty, really.
Megatron then gives Trailcutter the job of director of security, because he needs direction in his life. Trailcutter just sort of takes what he’s given, because I suppose you can’t really argue with a guy who can literally slap you sober, and also threatens to destroy you if you fuck up even once. Nice, Megs. Nice.
MEGATRON THAT’S BEEN SITTING LIKE THAT FOR OVER HALF AN HOUR YOU FUCKING WET NOODLE
So, since there’s mystery juice all over the floor and no one’s died, Megatron assumes that the coffin ought to be fine to crack open.
Please note that Megatron is not a medical professional, and his views are now peer reviewed by medical professionals. Megatron is in no way endorsed by the WHO.
Anyway, Rodimus is in there.
Pretty fucked up.
Back in the past, recess is over, and Ultra Magnus comes bearing bad news- Megatron wants to change his plea to “innocent.” This gets about the reaction one would expect from just about anyone.
Well, except Rodimus, who’s too busy reading that list that he wanted destroyed. He’s very sad about it.
I know, what a bummer!

The Fall...
Request: Hey you! I really love your writing! I was wondering if you could do a Jensen fic with some angst and fluff. An established relationship perhaps where the reader is his wife, and she’s home alone and she takes a really bad fall and breaks a body part (you can pick which).
Warning: Injured! Reader, Jensen’s a bit of a dick at first, Angst, a little fluff, language, that’s about it I think.
Word Count: 1861
Pairing: Jensen Ackles x Reader
A/N: As always all mistakes are mine! Please do not copy my stuff! Feedback is gold! Hope you guys enjoy this one!
Want more? Check out my masterlist!
******MASTERLIST*******
Being married to Jensen Ackles while never boring, wasn't always easy. It wasn't his fault though, it was the job that he had that made it hard. Your worst days were the day before he left to either go and film when you couldn't travel with him for a week or better at a time, or when he had to go to a convention or something for a weekend, and you couldn't make it for whatever reason.
You tired to go with him as much as you could manage it, but sometimes life just didn't allow it to happen. This weekend Jensen had an upcoming Convention in Chicago, and you weren't going to be able to attend. Jensen and yourself had just moved into your dream home in Texas, and there were things that at least one of you had to be there to do. No matter how bad you wanted to go with him it just wasn't in the cards for this weekend.
Jensen knew you hated it when you had to stay behind, that you'd rather be with him, and it stressed him out to leave you just as much as you were stressed out by staying behind. So that tended to make you both a little snippy at each other.
You loaded up the laundry basket with Jensen's freshly washed, dried, and folded shirts that he would be taking with him to the convention this weekend. Your mind a thousand miles away as you walked up the stairs to your shared bedroom where he was packing up his things. Drifting back to the argument you had this morning with him in the kitchen.
-----------------
"Y/n you know if I could change the inspectors visit to another day so that you didn't' have to deal with this while I'm gone I would, but this was a hard visit to book to begin with, and if we want to be moved in by the summer I need to get this inspection done. I don't know why you're fighting me so hard on this!" He half yelled at you as he slammed his empty coffee cup down on the counter.
"Because Jensen, what if he does find something wrong, and I have to make a decision about it right then and there, and you're not there. I don't want to sign off on something that you don't want done and I'd rather you'd be there for the walkthrough!" You yelled back at him, tears forming in your eyes.
It wasn't the whole truth and you knew it, problem was so did he.
"Bullshit. You've done these before. Y/n it's not the first house we've bought together, you know how to make those types of decisions without me. You've been walking around here mad at me all morning, and I know your mad because I won't cancel my appearance at the con, but I've got people counting on me to be there, people that have paid a lot of money to see me, and I don't want to let the fans down!"
You rolled your eyes at that before you even thought about your actions. Jensen's face harden as he watched you from across the kitchen, his adam's apple bobbing up and down as he swallowed hard. Your voice was calmer when you spoke despite the anger rising in your chest, and the hurt that he'd put a bunch of strangers before you, when you had already gone three weeks without seeing each other, and he'd only been home for two day.
"Fine.. I see what's really important to you, go see your fans. I don't care." You said storming out of the kitchen into the laundry to start the laundry.
--------------------------
You were almost at the top of stairs at the last step before the landing. Tears blurring your vision from thinking about your fight with Jensen this morning. You went to step, but missed. Losing your footing...
The next thing you remember was looking up from the bottom and the staircase flat of your back. The clothes you had been carrying scattered down the stairs, some lay on the ground around you. You blink your eyes as Jensen's face came into focus above you. His phone in his hand.
"Y/n! Baby don't move okay!" He tried to sound calm, but his eyes gave him away. You could see the edge of panic in them.
Your head was pounding, and there was a searing pain in your wrist. "What happened?" You asked him as you heard the sirens coming up the street. Jensen brushed your hair away from your face gently with his finger tips, His voice edgy as he answered you.
"You fell down the stairs sweetheart. You hit your head pretty hard, I don't know if you hurt your neck or not, but I think your wrist is broken. The ambulance is almost here Okay? Don't move."
Pure white hot fear gripped you in that moment. Not from the pain in your wrist, or head, not even from the fall, it was the fact that you couldn't remember the fall. Like at all. In your mind one minute you were walking up the stairs, the next you woke up here.
Tears filled your eyes again as you stared up into Jensen's mossy green ones. "Jensen I'm scared, why don't I remember what happened?"
Jensen immediately started to shush you. "It's just because you hit your head baby, don't worry, everything is going to be just fine, the ambulance will be here any second and we're going to get you fixed up okay."
---------------------------
You don't know if you blacked out or not, but the next thing you remember was being loaded into the back of the ambulance with Jensen, a neck brace on your neck. Everything felt fuzzy and strange, so you assumed that they had given you something to relax you, or something for pain.
The ride to the hospital was a daze of movement, and fuzzy medicated dozing. You did hear the EMT tell Jensen that he didn't think you had broken your neck, but they still would need to do X-rays and a possible MRI on your head just to make sure you were okay. They would ask you questions, probably trying to keep you awake, you answered them but you really didn't know what you were telling them. When it came to pain meds you always were a lightweight. Tonight would be no different.
Once you arrived at the hospital, probably because of who Jensen was, or maybe because of a possible head injury, things seemed to move pretty fast. They brought you back and did an X-Ray, then moved straight to do an MRI. Your wrist was indeed broken, but thankfully it wouldn't require surgery. Just a cast. They said you had a mild concussion, but nothing to be too concerned about, and you'd be very sore in the morning. Which you weren't happy about.
It wasn't until the drive home from the hospital that it dawned on you about the con.
You decided you weren't going to ask him about it, you figured he would just take a late flight in, so when you got out of the car you made your way in the house, you were greeted by the mess of clothes that lay on the floor around the stairs waiting for you, you had to swallow back the sob that wanted to leave you.
This was the reason you were upset when you fell to begin with. Yes, you weren't seriously injured, thankfully it was just a broken wrist, not even as seriously broken as it could have been. Still you didn't want him to leave, for some reason you were feeling way emotional, and just wanted to be able to go curl up in bed with him and go to sleep.
Alas you still couldn't bring yourself to ask him to stay home, or if he was still going, because that's what you were having the whole fight about earlier. It's why you were upset and not paying attention to what you were doing. So you made your way over to the basket on the floor, and sat it up right, picking up clothes with your uninjured hand. You hadn't noticed that you started crying again, but Jensen had, he'd been watching you since you walked through the door. You were so caught up in your own thoughts you hadn't even noticed him until he knelt down in front of you and spoke.
"Sweetheart what are you doing?" He said softly grabbing the shirts away from you and moving the basket out of reach before standing you up in front of him. Whipping the tears that had slipped down your face with the pad of his thumb.
"I... I.. Have to get your ready... You will have to reschedule your flight..."
"SHHH.. Hey stop, no you don't have to do anything. For one I'm not going I'm not going anywhere. I called and told them I wasn't going to be coming. Did you really think I was going to leave you after you've spent the entire evening in the hospital with a broke wrist and a fucking concusion. No. I'm not going anywhere. They will be able to do it without me just fine. You're more important to me than a convention. People will understand, if they don't oh well."
You looked anywhere but him. The remnants of the argument that you had earlier still lingered deep in the corners of your mind.
"Hey look at me baby girl. Listen I was wrong early, I know I've been gone a lot. I was upset as you were about me leaving and acted like a dick. I shouldn't have snapped like that at you this morning, I should have just agreed to stay home. It obviously wasn't meant for me to be at this convention. I would NEVER put other people before you, you are the most important person in my life. If I wouldn't have upset you so much you probably wouldn't have fallen today. This is my fault. I'm sorry."
Jensen snaked his arms carefully around your waist kissing you softly on the lips. "I love you, you know that right?" He said. Nuzzling his face into your neck. Holding you close to him.
"I love you to Jay." You said. Leaning your head down on his shoulder, just letting him hold and comfort away all the hurt feels and bullshit that had come with today.
"Good. Now Let's get the cripple in bed, and I'm going to have to ask our contractor to add a stairlift into the new house so my little cluts wonts keep busting her ass going up and down the stairs like an old woman." Jensen teased you as he picked you up and carried you bridal style up the stairs toward your shared bedroom. You were still mildly impressed that at 42 years old he could still do that.
"Oh shut up." You said. Swatting at him playfully before as his feet made it to the top of the landing.
Yeah, being married to Jensen wasn't easy, but in moments like this. Moments of pure chaos, it was so worth all of it.

From The Stars
Hello everyone! Thanks again for likes, comments and follows!
Rating: M Violence, swearing, abuse, and later smut
Chapter 4
The next morning Obi-Wan awoke just as the sky was beginning to turn pink, having being used to this schedule since his master was definitely an early riser. He got up and opened his door very quietly as he didn't want to disturb his gracious host. Making his way into the living room he began to look around. One thing he noticed is that there weren't many pictures or holograms around, just various knick knacks. One of the focal points of the room is what looked like to be a primitive holo-viewer. It is definitely more primitive here.
Looking out towards the porch his curiosity piqued, he wanted to go investigate where Vanessa and Hershey found him. Maybe he would find more clues. Slipping out as quiet as a ghost and walked towards the wood. He reached out with force to see where her presence had been and followed that. A few minutes later he arrived at a small clearing where the glass was slightly singed and flat, the force was distorted bit here and he figured here would be the best to do his early morning mediation since it was the closest point to where he came from. He sat down cross legged, took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
It was different here but not necessarily unpleasant. Different animals could be felt around him and the stillness was actually quite nice. He was usually used to the faint sound of the ever busy city around him. The breeze kicked up and he could smell the plants and earth around him as he slipped into a deep mediation and focused on the here and now.
The sun shone in her room and started to wake her up. She sat up and stretched her limbs letting out a big yawn. Hershey awoke from the foot of her bed hearing her wake up.
“Good morning boy. Let’s get you into the backyard.”
She opened the door slowly as to not disturb her guest and tip toed out. Passing by his room she noticed the door was opened and she peeked inside. He wasn't there but the bed was freshly made and tidy. She smiled to herself liking the fact that he was considerate as such. Walking into the living room he still couldn't be found. She found it quite odd but continued about her normal routine and let her dog out to do his business. Standing on the porch and inhaling the fresh air she closed her eyes and relished in the crisp morning. Her peace was interrupted by Hershey yapping excitedly. Looking up she saw Obi wan emerging from the woods. He walked up to the dog and gave him a good pat and scratch before turning his gaze to Vanessa. He smiled as he approached her.
“You look well.” She stated
“Thank you. Sorry if I had you worry, I am an early riser and usually meditate in the morning. I went to find the spot you found me to see if I can find any clues.”
“It is fine. Any luck?”
“No, unfortunately, maybe the force will reveal an answer later.” he said with a sigh.
“Like I said you are more than welcome to stay here until such a time. Lets go inside and eat breakfast and then we will do some clothes shopping and grocery shopping, figure out some things you would like while you were here.”
“OK, though I still feel guilty that you are doing this for me. I have no way of repaying you.”
She chuckled. “Oh don't worry I could put to work on some of the repairs around the house.”
“Its a deal.”
They sat and ate breakfast and conversed about a variety of things, before heading out. Walking out to the car he hesitated.
“Ugh I hate flying.”
She quirked an eyebrow on him. “Cars don't fly here. Its all along the ground, sorry to say. We are way behind.”
“Oh.” he said while climbing in.
It was a bit of a drive, so she played some music. Obi found it quite agreeable and tried to learn the lyrics. Getting to the mall they went from store to store shopping for a few things for him to wear. He seemed to favor jeans, t shirts, and tennis the most. She also bought him a few beanies because she noticed people were starting to stare at his unusual hairstyle and she could tell it was making him uncomfortable. They passed by a book shop and she saw his eyes go wide.
“Do they not have books where you come from?” she asked
“They do but they are so rare as everything is technology based.”
“Well why don't we go inside and you can pick up a few you might like”
He shook his head frantically “Oh no I couldn't ask you of that you are doing so much for me. As it is Jedi don’t keep a lot of personal items.”
“Relax. I wont tell the Council that you indulged while you were here.” she said while patting him on the arm.
“Very well.” he said with a sigh and smirk.
They went inside and about an hour later, came out with a few things. His face lit up with his new posessions. He got a history book, some poetry, as well as a few random other things. They loaded their items and drove to the grocery store. While they were shopping he asked her what everything was. And she told him.
“Well if there is anything you would like to try let me know.”
“Sorry. I don’t know where to start. Just get what you usually do or things you think I might like” he said with a smirk.
“Alright. No problem”
Later on they arrived home and he put all the clothes she had bought him away. And went out to the living room to watch a movie with her. She insisted on educating him in the best of entertainment they had to offer on this planet.
As the weeks continued on, they settled into a comfortable routine, including Obi helping out with chores around the house. He was always eager to help and she found that endearing. She always had a pleasant demeanor and was always kind. She was also funny and a bit sarcastic. But there was something that was bothering him about her, it seemed she lived as a bit of hermit and he hoped it wasn't because of him.
“Vanessa? May I ask you something?” he said turning to her while they enjoyed the dusk on the porch.
“Sure….” she replied a little apprehensive
“Forgive me if I seem to be a little rude. But I have noticed that you live kind of isolated and don't socialize with anyone besides me and Hershey. And I hope I am not the cause of it.”
He noticed….damn.
She cleared her throat. “Well its definitely not because of you so don't worry about that. Its just I had to start over.”
He looked at her curiously. “Start over?”
“Yes. Its a hard story to tell.” she said looking down at her hands. He reached over and grabbed one and held it. Raising her head to look at him he saw that her eyes were watery.
“I am sorry I didn't mean to pry.” He said while gently bringing a thumb to wipe a stray tear.
She sniffled. “No its OK. I need to open up about it some time.” She turned to face him and he squeezed her hand in reassurance. She took a deep breath before she spoke. “I was married at a young age. In matter of fact I lied about my age to get married. I was 16 and he was 19. And I absolutely fell in love. It was wonderful at first, but a few months in I noticed some things. He was mean and would constantly put me down. Then not that long after that is when he began hitting me. I was shocked but I didn't leave because I made the excuse that I was the one that caused it. I wasn't allowed to leave and was forced to take care of him in any way he wanted to….” she trailed off.
Obi wan’s jaw clenched as he could see her memories of the pain she endured. She continued, “One night it all changed. He came home from work and saw that I hadn't finished folding the laundry and he lost it. He beat me so bad, he broke ribs, my cheek bone and worse he raped me. The next day, I realized the hell I was in and had to get out. So I painfully walked to my neighbors house who promptly called an ambulance and the police. He was arrested and found guilty and is now serving a sentence in prison. This house belonged to my Aunt and Uncle they left it to me, thankfully he doesn't know about it. But I never want to take my chances of him ever finding me. So I broke off all ties.” she said with tears running down her eyes.
Obi-wan had never felt so heart broken and angry in his life. What kind of monster would do such a thing to a kind soul as her. Knowing he had to get control of his emotions he decided to pull her into him tightly to comfort her. She sobbed into his chest and he ran his fingers through her hair doing his best to soothe her. Something in him that night had changed. He felt a protectiveness over her and an affection. He kissed the top of her head feeling that, she looked up into his blue eyes and saw a determination in them.
“I promise to protect you as long as I can. No one, especially you deserves that. You did nothing wrong and you are so strong to survive that.” he said looking at her with soft eyes when he finished his sentence.
He titled her head and kissed her forehead. Closing both their eyes they rest their foreheads against each others and relishing the feel of being so close together. They stayed like that for awhile until she relaxed finding his presence soothing.
“I am going to go to bed, all this has exhausted me,” she said while pulling away from him.
He gave her a small smile. “OK just know that I meant what I said, good night Vanessa.”
She returned his smile and headed into the house. He sat on the porch with the dog just enjoying the serenity of the night. Giving the dog a scratch on the head,
“Lets head in for the night, boy” Wagging his tail, Hershey followed behind Obi into the house before laying on his bed for the night. “Good night boy.” he said before heading into his room. He settled on the bed to try and get some sleep, but alas it would not come.
He laid awake in his bed organizing his thoughts.
I've never been affectionate to someone like that. Why did that happen to her? She is amazing for dealing with so much and coming out of it so kind-hearted. To be so close to her was heaven. I wonder how it would feel to kiss her…
At that last thought he shot up in bed. He shook his head as he realized that he was starting to develop feelings for her. But he couldn't act on them as it was forbidden by the Jedi code. But he already knew it was too late, He had formed an attachment to her against his will and he honestly felt conflicted about the whole thing. Who knew how long he would be here or even if he would permanently. Was this is the will of force, he didn't know what to do.

"I'm not like other girls, I don't need an allowance from my man" headass SB
"He doesn't like girls who use sugaring for financial gain or to rise up in society 💅💫"
...yeah, babe, so of course the man with two daughters older than you LOVES the fact that you fucked him at his house, TWO DAYS AND NIGHTS IN A ROW, and all you asked for out of him was a subway sandwich anf his wine cabinet.
.....
My only time EVER having a "fuck me just for fast food" phase, was with FWBs who I literally had no interest in, and, when I never had entered the bowl, nor knew of many places outside of Burger King and Chipotle for their broke asses to get me food from, so. :) thats on that.
And so imagine me, a year later, with experience and knowledge of making men old and young buy me things, clothes, food, gifts, ubers, car trips, anything in the world, and with my ass sitting pretty in the most expensive hotel in all of the city, and 400 dollars richer with pork roast and more in my stomach...
Teaching a newbie SB about the bowl.
And all the advice, tips, about manifesting her goals, funding her schooling, abstaining from sex right off the bat, meeting in public, safety advice, what to look for and avoid....
All that.
Anything you could think of, I fucking told her that.
And she.
Fucked.
Immediately.
.....
Met him at his house at 10pm for the "first date"...... stupid bitch. Strike one, but her not listening to the valuable advice of "dont go to his house, he could kill you or just hit it and dip" was telling enough of how she had viewed our friendship.
Then she saw he put out a *fruit platter* for her.
Nice..... but then didn't serve her dinner.
Smoked her out. Fine, you got weed. Cool...
And maybe an hour or two into them "really clicking", a.k.a. probably her talking while stoned and him just nodding everything on to be fucking polite... she takes him by the hand, leads him into the bedroom and fucks him totally unprovoked.
OH WOW, SIS.
I know some sugar babies still get an allowance or arrangement even after still having sex, but jesus.......
Then he left for work, and let her stay at his place. Fucked again. He gave her a subway sandwich, not even a footlong, since she "wasnt all that hungry"...
1) Cool, so she didnt even get a dinner out of it.
2) She's been rewarded for dick with half of a footlong, (NOT EVEN A FULL ONE SIS HE HAS THE MONEY AND YOU WOULD BE HUNGRY LATER????,) and with all the liquor in his cabinets. That she chugged most of the morning and night, before going "But I'm not really all that into drinking, anyways", while chugging a vodka + white wine + other intense alcohol concoction she whipped up over Instagram Chat.
And..... I was pissed. :)
And 3) She never discussed an allowance before meeting.
.....
You can imagine the screams I have, deep in my soul, after maybe four hours or MORE of straight up teaching her all I know.
Then when I told her I was disappointed in her not taking my advice, she hit me with the Pick Me level shit.
"He doesn't want a girl who uses sugaring for financial gain or social status!"..... so, hes broke, and/or you're dating a sugar daddy that won't give sugar? I hope your hands get soft from all the exfoliation caused by the rock you're trying to cause to bleed, that shit wont work sis.
"I'm a big girl, I can handle myself. Trust me, I know a bad situation when I see one, and THAT wasnt one!".... Sure, a 50 year old pathetic college professor with a slim body doesnt terrify you, but a pathetic college professor can get preeeeetty scary when he roofies and rapes you. But, she wasnt thinking that far ahead if she walked to a random mans house, in the skimpiest clothes ever, at the dead of night while claiming nothing bad would happen and she would not fuck him....
Even if nothing too terrible did, something couldve. If the thing of "i wont fuck him dont worry" did happen and she didnt think shed do it before meeting him, imagine what else she didnt think would happen could've happened....
And just several rants of her saying her intuition would tell her.
.....
I sympathized; she had been in several abusive relationships with terrible men, and wass most recently dumped by some fuckhead who was grooming her.
So the attention of an older man giving her free booze of a big selection, some pretty bomb dick, and letting her sleep over and giving her fruit???? Totally head above heels, when the bar is literally just "be white, and treat me somewhat human, even if it's rooted in selfish acts", and even her last neckbeard boyfriend from discord had her convinced that he was "the best thing to ever happen to her in life".
And.... the one that struck me the most, was the remark of "using men for financial gain" part.
I knew I had an off vibe about her when she was deadpanning and rolling her eyes hearing how good I had it anywhere in my life; but ESPECIALLY with sugaring. (Or an open relationship with two hot guys who treated me right, but alas, she could barely even find one for her.)
And yet once she got single, she was begginggggg to hear how I did it.
And... more signs came that she was interested in the fantasy and not the reality, or sometimes vice versa.
Rolling her eyes when I told her that a 25 dollar weekly allowance was so fucking low.
When I told her that anything she wanted, even a rose gold Apple Watch and a new laptop, an apartment, or whatever she wanted, could be at her fingertips if she plays all her cards right.
When I gave her safety advice.
When I told her about my life.
Anything.
She had been either repulsed, doubtful, disdainful, or nonplussed about it.
And look whar happened....
An old man was shown he could fuck a thick black girl for two to three days, nonstop, for a single subway sandwich.
What a shame.
Thats fucking sad my dudes.
Aaaaand her overall subtle hating on me showed its ass when she said what he said.
So I'M the bad guy, for actually expecting a sugar daddy to do what he says, and knows enough to know that sex too soon wont end well?
So she's gonna hate on me for caring about HER safety and not wanting her to ignore every safety precaution advised?
That's like being mad at a construction site owner for wanting you to wear a hard hat, and your reasoning being "I MISSED THE HUGE ROCK FALLING DOWN, ITS NO BIG DEAL! I TRUST MY INSTINCTS, JESUS CHRIST".
Plus, it did strike a cord.
But I just thought:
Yes, I do want a successful future.
I want rich babies, a funded college education, an apartment and a lifestyle of my own to support.
And most importantly, my fucking heart to keep beating.
So excuse me if a girl wastes my time and hers, by not taking my advice and risking her life all for the sake of a Subway sandwich, and not funding for a huge life of her dreams, and just for a subpar meal for one night.
I know how to flip my future from his shitty bunk bed, to a life of champagne and caviar.
And she knows how to flip her life from wanting to be a successful sugar baby that supposedly makes enough money to move out with me, buy groceries, and have a potentially funded college......
To..... a subway sandwich and an alcohol problem, and a number, that blocks her days after having sex.
......
I was done with her.
I never thought there'd be girls insecure enough to stoop that low.
Low enough to shun another girl, who does the same thing and gets a thousand times more thsn she does.

my emotions are sapping away at me
i keep building them up
i have so much anger ready to burn
im always so calm
everybody else is angry, if i add to it then im just part of the problem
but they all get to release it. they can express it.
if i did any of the things they did in vain then I would never get a second chance
theyre not righteous either, so why on earth is their anger more valued than mine
i want to burn shit
i want to stab
i want to destroy
yes there’s healthier ways but damn fuck that
and
im sure i wont
but i do worry sometimes that one day I might just say fuck it
set the trees I love so much on fire
smash glass after glass
fuck it, do the cars in
fuck the tires
your windows were made for wind but I carry its force further
hehehehe yeah i can run
and it feels good
but when its all said and done I just wish I can go back
damn i want to punch shit
they smash shit all the time
they get away with it
so arent i owed an equivalent amount of anger permissable to release
hehehe if I keep saving it then i can release it all at once
years of outbursts
thats not fear in my eyes my dude
sure theres some of that in there
i no longer even feel the anger
its just inside
ask me where i dont know
is this even me talking anymore
if youre not allowed to feel
then surely hes gonna take over?
hahaha
yes im younger than you
add that to your reason to feel wiser than me
but youre just as clueless
the underdog knows when to strike
you wouldnt let me speak
now i have no choice
this is the price of your transgression
I only get to do this once.
its no longer my choice
alas, it is.
hehehe i couldve got it out if you would have shut your fucking mouth and considered what i was saying in the first place
yet, you still dont listen
every warning i gave happened

'Disaster Management' Or 'Management Disaster'? We Have A List ... So Far
And it will be hard to argue that the whatever management disaster from the council is determined after this is all over, it started long before the rain. Suddenly Mayor Mullet has an unexpected and unwelcome election campaign issue on her hands will her inevitable spin as heroine of the hour hold up to scrutiny? At The Astonisher, has the worm turned? Jenna Cairney took an early swipe at the mayor, even before it got really bad and allows a developer to stick in the boot as well two more another reasons its called the Astonisher. And heres another are you sitting down? The Magpie gives the paper top marks for its coverage of the floods. No, seriously. Theres a very good explanation for it and therein lies a glaringly obvious and valuable lesson for editor Cairney (when shes doing her job, she editor, when not, shes iditor). and The Magpie points out how tomorrows (Monday local) American Super Bowl organisers have missed the ratings bonanza of a lifetime, which couldve doubled their already massive audience. But to start this week The Irony Award of the Decade. To head up this weeks offering, pride of place goes to the great Bentley, who counts among his many skills a very sharp memory which recalls things that some would rather he forget.
Which swiftly brings us to the nub of things for this week. Its The Vision Thing, Stupid There are those poor agitated souls who suggest the The Magpie writes with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight. To which the obvious reply is that of course he does, because he doesnt make the decisions that affect us as a community, and merely comments on those decisions that have been made by others. While being wise after the event is always irritating (The Magpies mission) what this town REALLY needs is a big dose of decision-makers being wise BEFORE the event. This weeks excessive dampness and the public doubts that have appeared over the councils disaster management ability brings up a case in point. There will most certainly be a post-monsoon post-mortem into the disaster management decision-making process and crucially the timing of opening the Ross Dam flood gates; when a legal authority like a council deliberately floods ratepayers homes and businesses, there sure as hell MUST be a post mortem as legal eagles start circling. For the greater good doesnt always cut in matters of compensation. Then there have been confidence-sapping instances like this, too, after flooding had started.
That, and many comments to this blog about timing and pre-organisation of sandbags some places plenty of sand but no bags, others, plenty of both but no shovels, and a dearth of relatively inexpensive mechanical bagging machinery have been sent in. And there is a dire warning for all property owners even when the waters recede any insurance premiums are likely to be through the roof, if they can be obtained at all more on that in a moment. And the responsibility for this situation must lie somewhere. It has all led one frustrated leading businessman who wishes to remain anonymous for prudent reasons considering the current vindictive regime in Walker Street to post the following to The Nest: Jenna Cairney who I believe moved out of her unit on the Strand to a house at Railway Estate affected by the flood wrote on the Bulletins Facebook updates 31/1/19 that the Bulletin forecasts on rain have been running since 6 am on the 30th, yet the disaster centre didnt start updating until more than seven hours later1.36 pm . Jenna claimed the $8.5 mil disaster centre was left flat footed with residents having to reach out to the Astonisher for advice.
Jenna concludes with We are constantly told to be prepared for major weather events . The local Disaster Co-ordination Centre also needs to heed the advice. Our angry commenter continues: Jenna isnt the only person commenting negatively on the new $8.5 mil centre. I have just received a text to mobile and recorded messages to both my home and business landlines but it seems too late. My daughter in Hermit Park woke to over a foot of water Friday 1st at 7 am, today its up to her shoulders and her car totally submerged! Conjecture will continue but my concerns are: -did former TCC CEO Adele Young cut back on preventative maintenance, and, with over a third of T.C.Cs staff made redundant, did they lose invaluable experience to leave us more susceptible to flooding, and other natural disasters and -if they knew the rain would continue, did they have the technology to predict they should have opened the flood gates earlier. If not, why not? I think there is going to an absolute bun fight with insurance companies wanting hydrologists reports and my concerns is more Townsville residents will be left with an inability to get contents/ house insurance. While to some it may seem churlish to be looking at this questions and failings before the danger is not yet over, it is legitimate for them to be considered in the light that there are yet many more decisions to be made including the alarming but necessary fore-warning that much further rain could threaten 20,000 homes
thats one quarter of all dwellings in this city. The performance so far on the ground and water has been the usual efficient, industrious and courageous efforts by selfless men and women fire, police, defence forces and just ordinary citizens helping where they can as we always do but some of the decisions from the Disaster Center HQ so far do not inspire confidence that we are in safe competent hands. The timing and extent of opening the dam gates is sure to be the subject of future debate. A Touch Of Timely Humour Highlights The Magpies Point
And An Urgent Clarification Needed From Premier Palaszczuk Surely there cant be a deliberate bit of political game-playing by the premier at a time like this. She has declared Townsville a disaster zone but apparently not a natural disaster. The difference is crucial to Townsville businesses, already suffering a severe economic down turn, who will be up for an extra crippling financial liability if we are just a disaster zone.
The premier needs to step up now and ease the minds of some businesses that may be teetering on the edge. The mayor should immediately ask for a clarification, and if necessary, a switch to a natural disaster for what else could it be when a Sydney Harbour of water is dumped on the city is such a catastrophically short time. This option is the fairest to all. But The Astonisher Has Well Astonished Given the on-the-run nature of reporting our unfolding disaster, The Magpie gives a emphatic up-tick to Jenna Cairney and her crew of substantially inexperienced journos for wide and consistent coverage. Certainly theres been blips but, far fewer than one could have expected. And why might that be, you ask? Simple because this is real, rolling hard news, on-going, mixing constant reporting with solid information (well as solid as reporters are told). No time or need for padding, opinion or bias, of which there has been precious little. Apart from Ms. Cairneys presient hand-slap at the Disaster Center, things have been happening too swiftly. And generally, given the circumstances, all platforms have performed well. Little things like pics of kids playing in floodwaters can be tut-tutted over later. From his own professional experience, The Pie predicts a traumatic event like this can be the foundation of many a solid journalistic career, and some of the tyros, and even those who think themselves already seasoned, will gain insights into real reporting to be the better for it Ms Cairney, The Pie knows how much you, like our mayor, appreciate the The Magpies wise counsel, so if you can guide your troops on this new path of professionalism, you will go a long way to restoring some of this once proud papers tattered reputation. Alas, the downside is that there will shortly be many a job application winging south with a CV justifiably boasting I covered the Townsville flood disaster of 2019. Who Says Mayor Mullet Is The Cause Of Townsville Economic Woes? Well, highly successful developer Peter Tapiolas, that who, for one.
In a bruisingly frank interview with Tony Raggatt, Mr Tapiolas showed hes as mad as hell and not going to take it any more especially not from politicians. He didnt miss many of em, either.QUOTE: Townsville recorded 573 approvals about 1.4 per cent of the share of major Queensland centres and second-last to Rockhampton, which had 369.The figures are alarming. We have never seen it as low as last year, Mr Tapiolas, a director of the Parkside Group, said. (Townsville Mayor Jenny Hill) should be screaming from the rooftops on Adani but she cant because shes scared of (Premier) Annastacia Palaszczuk, and the three local (Labor State MPs) wont support Adani. Mr Tapiolas said home building had ground to a halt because people lacked confidence about their current and future job prospects. When that happens people just bunker down and hang on, Mr Tapiolas said. UNQUOTE Crikey, Pete, want to guest edit The Magpie sometime no one will be able to tell the difference. But the story held other surprises, like Townsville state MP Scott Stewarts frank admission of being a self-interested Labor toady.
And even our old favourite Mayor Mullet was in danger of fence sitting bum splinters.
Reports? Madam, if you had the courage of your supposed convictions, you should be clambering up to the rooftops as Mr Tapiolas suggests, on this one too, since you no doubt read this in a story in which you yourself were quoted. Director of the National Threatened Species Recovery Hub Brendan Wintle has been engaged to lead the review, and is able to appoint up to six people on a panel to examine Adanis plan.Mr Wintle last year participated in a climate strike and has authored several articles critical of governments using biodiversity offsets to allow development. (TB Jan 22 2019) Even the Emerald Isle aint that green, sweetie. What is disturbing, though, petal, is when you come out with cowardly political twaddle like this. Other Stuff The Pie has thought about this SMH headline all night, and can only see visions of Soylent Green.
What they gunna do, pop the babies back in until a spot becomes available? Or employ alcoholic surgeons who dont try to hard on oldies (oh, sorry, the hearts over THAT side oops.) And then this that mightily confused this Aussie:
Ummm nice tan, Singo. Its Super Bowl Sunday, (Monday In Oz) And What A Missed Opportunity Americas annual play a bit, chat a bit, smack a few bums a bit extravaganza known as the Super Bowl, between someone or other and somebody else, is now famous for many other things beside football. There are the eye-watering numbers of global viewers 103 million last year resulting the equally eye-watering $5.2million that advertisers are happy to pony up for a 30 second commercial. And the half-time entertainment is now almost of more interest that the game, famous for fails and malfunctions, most notoriously the latter one of what is prissily referred to as a wardrobe malfunction (Justin Timberlake groped Janet Jacksons boobs which made them play wall-eyed peek-a-boo with the goggling audience, resulting in more computer slow motion replays and gummed up keyboards than any exploit on the footy field.) But the organisers have missed an ideal opportunity this year to create an all time viewing record, if only they had chosen the half time entertainment with a little vision. Bob Eckstein of the New Yorker illustrates a massive missed opportunity.
Which is a neat way to get into this weeks round-up from Trumpistan.
And this comment and tweet by The Magpie during the week brought all manner of mania out of the woodwork. Cold comfort perhaps, but just to remind you that whats happening here isnt by any means Gods biggest joke on humanity.
She is of course right if we accept that God invented ebola, cancer, earthquakes, tsunamis and Clive Palmer. Finally, here';s an ad from London that will get the thin-lipped humorless gals balling their fists and clenching their buttocks in rage.

kc drabble request – “you said keep our business on the low-low / i’m just tryna get you out the friend zone / ‘cause you look even better than the photos” + “found out i was coming, sent your friends home / keep on tryna to hide it but your friends know” + “you don't care about anyone but yourself.” “i care about you.” (dialogue quotes from the nordic tv series “skam”)
Hey, anon! I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t know if I like how this one turned out, and I’m sorry if it’s not what you expected. That said, this is set in high school, and there are references to Mikael being an abusive ass.
Drunk on You || Klaroline
It all started because he forgot to turn off the camera’s flash.
Klaus hated almost everything about Mystic Falls High School, one of the few exceptions being his independent study art credit. As a senior, he was expected to use that credit toward building a multimedia portfolio for applications to art schools. Painting came easy to him, sketching with charcoal almost second nature. Wanting to put off sculpture as long as possible - he hated the dissatisfaction that came from ruining hours of work with one mistake - he had borrowed a camera to work on a digital photography submission.
He carried it with him everywhere for weeks, snapping the odd picture in hopes of finding inspiration. His works had been built from the theme of “Inner Darkness,” a title Kol and Bekah had mocked mercilessly as younger siblings were wont to do. Worse than that, nothing he shot with the camera was resonating with his chosen direction.
Mystic Falls should have been the perfect setting, the image of small town innocence marred by a severe class divide, alcohol-fueled violence, and cutthroat politics. Klaus had an intimate perspective given his parents’ position on the artificially elite Council and the abuse he suffered at his father’s hands. But his photos couldn’t capture the darkness.
They were just bleak.
After a particularly disappointing shoot downtown, Klaus had allowed Bekah to pester him into driving her to that night’s football game. Bitter as she was that her freshman status kept her off the varsity cheer squad, she did enjoy the small freedom of going out with only her big brother for supervision. He left her to a group of giggling girls to smoke under the bleachers with Stefan, who unfortunately had Katherine plastered to his side this week. Klaus didn’t really like the curly-haired Gilbert twin, but she was easier to stand than her bore of a sister; that is, unless she had Damon hanging around her instead. He had no idea why Stefan put up with either of them.
Alas, Stefan and Katherine had started canoodling while he continued to puff away at a cigarette. Turning to the field, the bleacher gaps gave Klaus a clear view of the cheerleaders as a whip of blonde curls caught his eye. Immediately, he dropped his smoke to raise the camera that had become a fixture around his neck.
Caroline Forbes was another bright spot in his miserable high school experience, not that she knew he existed. She was the golden girl and pageant queen; he was just the art nerd who caught himself sketching her profile as they sat in history. He didn’t know her outside of class participation and Bekah’s complaints, but he took those with a grain of salt. It wasn’t unrequited love or anything, he just liked to look at her.
She was cheering at the game, her smile literally awash in bright lights. Without thinking, Klaus pushed the button with the satisfying click of the shutter.
“Shit,” he muttered as the flash went off, too bright in the dimness under the bleachers.
“Creep,” Katherine snorted. Klaus ignored in her favor of checking the digital display, worried the flash had ruined the photo’s composition.
In a minor miracle, the picture turned out better than he hoped. Framed by the shadowed slats of the bleachers, the flash created a flare effect to surround Caroline with light, mid-clap. She was bright, beautiful, and just out of reach.
Glancing up, he realized she was looking right at him, too.
“Shit.”
Fidgety discomfort wasn’t a good look for Klaus, and the beer he kept drinking wasn’t helping. He hated these parties. Drunken high schoolers crowding everywhere, desperate to be noticed, to receive an ounce of affection. As he stood quietly at the edge of the pavilion, he hated the reminder he was just like them.
Bekah was the one to drag him to the falls after the game, though she had already disappeared with her gaggle of friends. Klaus could see Kol snogging his girlfriend against a tree. Taking another sip of his beer, he wondered how his little brother learned to be so shameless in his public displays. Unable to watch anymore, he turned away, only to find someone watching him.
His eyes widened as Caroline held their staring match. When he blinked, a playful corner of her mouth tilted upward. She raised an eyebrow in challenge before turning on her heel and striding toward the haphazard parking lot. With just enough curiosity and alcohol to temper his natural hesitance, Klaus quickly dropped his cup and made to follow her.
Wandering through the cars, he started to feel stupid when Caroline was nowhere to be found. Klaus rounded a Jeep, though, and a whisper snagged his attention.
“Boo.”
Startled, Klaus jerked his head to see her leaning against the Jeep. Her ponytail shone in the moonlight, her pale skin contrasting with the dark maroon of the cheerleading uniform. His hands itched to bring his camera up, only to remember he had left it in his car.
Caroline looked at him expectantly, then annoyed when he remained silent. “You know, for someone so obsessed with me, you really don’t know how to make a girl feel special,” she snapped. At his confused expression, she rolled her eyes. “I have a personality, one you might even enjoy if you stopped staring for, like, a minute and actually spoke to me.”
Pressing his lips together to stifle a surprised chuckle, he pointedly looked away from her. “You’re funny.”
“He speaks,” she mocked, though the dry humor tingeing her voice betrayed amusement. “And no defense for being obsessed with me, interesting. Do you take creepy pictures of everyone from under the bleachers, or am I more special than I think?”
Klaus scrubbed a hand over his face, wishing he had a cigarette. He didn’t know what he expected when he followed her - hoped and dreamed, maybe - but it wasn’t to detail his apparently obvious attraction. Worse, she definitely saw his camera flash during the football game. “It’s not what you think,” he defended weakly.
“Try me,” she demanded, arms defiantly crossed.
His eyes tracked the irritated pop of her hip the longer he went without answering.
Huffing out her frustration, she actually stomped her foot. “Whatever, just stop taking your creeper pictures. I’m not your personal Playboy bunny.”
“Wait,” he said before she could leave. “They’re not- I don’t mean to be creepy. It’s for an art project.”
Caroline let out a disbelieving laugh, her hair whipping around as she faced him. “Less Playboy, more Maplethorpe?” she challenged. “You’re hot, Klaus, but I’m too smart to be seduced by whatever artistic muse crap you believe.”
Though he wanted to focus on the hot comment, Klaus knew he was losing this stand-off she had orchestrated. “Let me show you.”
Intrigue shot through her expression until she again adopted a cool demeanor. “Fine, but I better be impressed.”
Considering the way she had him pinned to his passenger seat not twenty minutes later as he laved her neck with kisses, Klaus thought she was indeed impressed with his artistic eye. Clothes were askew, but still on when she pulled his mouth back to hers for a distractingly deep kiss. “At the risk of rewarding your voyeurism,” she whispered against his lips, “I’m kind of glad I had a good reason to accost you tonight.”
“Because I’m hot?” he teased with a smirk.
“In that leather necklace, calloused and paint-speckled hands way that artists have,” she confirmed. Her hand traced the necklaces as they laid on the back of his neck. “But you’re also a dick to my friends, and your friends aren’t exactly nice to me.”
Letting his head fall back against the seat, Klaus sighed. “If this is about the Gilbert squabbles-”
“It’s about reality,” Caroline corrected. “I know Elena can be a sanctimonious bitch sometimes, but she’s a better friend to me than Katherine or her Salvawhores have ever been. Surely, you get why I might not want to jump the bones of their slacker Brit, no matter how hot he is.”
He gripped her waist, encouraging her to grind further down into his lap. “Then what are you doing now?” he asked in a low voice.
Smiling, she kissed her way to his ear. “I think I’m going to have my way with a guy who thinks I’m beautiful enough for a graded project.” She nibbled on his earlobe. “If he’s any good, then I think I’m going to keep doing it. Any objections?”
“None from me.” Klaus might have died if she stopped the sinful rhythm of her hips. “What about your friends? Won’t they judge you for mixing with the seedy crowd?”
With a mischievous grin, Caroline unzipped her cheerleading top so she could remove it altogether. “You can keep a secret, can’t you?”
Months of sneaking around in cars, bathrooms, and Caroline’s often unchaperoned home had done nothing to reduce Klaus’s crush to purely physical satisfaction. Before, she was just a pretty girl with great legs and an engaging smile.
Now, he knew her favorite lip gloss as it stuck to his neck. She liked to whisper in the dark night they lay in her bed before he had to go home - anything louder earned him a shushing finger on his lips. But when the world was too quiet of her liking, she would hum to her heart’s content.
Klaus hoarded these tidbits as he found them, sneaking them into his photo series whenever he could. His favorite had to be of her sitting at her vanity, bright lights swathing her skin as she searched for a pimple she swore was growing. Caroline had threatened to delete it, an intimate brush with her private life.
“And I like being allowed in,” he had countered. “But there’s something poetic about you trying to seek out your flaws with light.”
Her smile was surprised, but pleased. “Artist types,” she had sighed dramatically, only to push him back to her bed for another round.
The deeper Klaus fell, though, the more unsure he was of Caroline’s feelings. They never went out, and she made no attempts at going public. Klaus was terrified to even suggest it for fear of losing her altogether.
So they kept sneaking around. His friends would have been caustic comedians and hers, complete snobs. They weren’t dating; it wasn’t worth the trouble of dealing with the reaction.
It sucked he had to quit smoking given the smell starting to stick to her clothes and bed as he grew more comfortable in the Forbes house. Sheriff Forbes would hardly appreciate her daughter’s non-boyfriend and his bad habit, and he’d rather give up nicotine than Caroline.
He had always hated Mystic Falls, but Klaus finally felt some happiness as he found himself looking forward to near daily plans with Caroline. Of course, his asshole father had perfect timing to ruin everything.
The music was too loud for Caroline to notice her phone buzzing on the nightstand. She had gone prom dress shopping with Bonnie and Elena, only to invite them over for a long overdue girls’ night. Maybe she had been spending too much time with Klaus, but she couldn’t regret a minute of it. Two days without seeing him past loaded glances in the hallways at school had actually made her miss him.
But, that was why she had insisted that Bonnie and Elena hang out. It was too easy to get sucked into the non-relationship bubble she and Klaus enjoyed - and to want more from it.
Caroline hadn’t planned on a boyfriend to distract from her senior year, and Klaus definitely wasn’t supposed to be an exception to the rule. The joke was on her for catching feelings anyway, not that she was going to bring it up. Any change in their dynamic could ruin it altogether.
That scared Caroline more than anything.
It was why her eyes went wide as Bonnie carelessly picked up her ringing phone. “Who’s ‘Beyond Annoying’ and why are they calling you?”
“Ooh,” Elena joined in from the mirror where she was perfecting a cat-eye. “Is it the secret boyfriend you think we don’t know about?”
“What? No!” Caroline made a grab for the phone, only for Bonnie to toss it to Elena. “Guys, give it back.”
With a gleeful smile, Elena answered the call. “Caroline’s phone.”
Caroline swooped in before she could put it on speaker for them all to hear. “Hey, just a minute,” she said, glaring at her friends before locking herself in the bathroom. “What’s up? I told you I was with Bonnie and Elena tonight.”
“And they’re so much more important than me, I know.”
Snide comments were nothing new for Klaus, especially when it came to her friends. The slurred voice laced with bitter anger, however, concerned Caroline greatly. “Are you drunk? Where are you?”
“Everyone’s more important, to you, to my mother,” he continued. “No one cares.”
Fear began to build in her chest. “Tell me where you are, Klaus. I’ll come pick you up.”
“Why, so you can kick me out before your mum comes home?”
“No, please. Let me bring you home.”
He was quiet for a long while, and she fought to stave off the panic. Caroline had never heard Klaus so despondent, and she hated that she helped to cause it. His quiet admission felt like a victory she didn’t deserve. “The falls.”
“Five minutes.” She hung up, throwing on a hoodie crumpled on her floor. Idly, she noted Klaus’s body spray still clinging to it from when she had shamelessly stolen it weeks earlier. Seeing Elena and Bonnie waiting for her outside the bathroom, though, she remembered why the hoodie had never left the confines of her bedroom. “Umm…raincheck on girls’ night?”
Bonnie nodded knowingly, and she stepped forward to pluck at the clearly male-owned sweatshirt. “Yes, I’m sure your boy toy is just lost without his hoodie.”
Running past them for her car keys, Caroline waved. “Yep, gotta go! Call you tomorrow!” She left her friends behind, praying that Klaus would wait patiently for her to pick him up.
By the time she made it to the falls, though, she realized that 'patient’ was probably hoping for too much. 'Resigned’ and 'drunk’ were more accurate words to describe the state in which she found Klaus, made worse by the bourbon he managed to bring with him. He was drinking straight from the bottle as he sat on the edge of the pavilion where Caroline once decided she wanted to know more. Klaus was just the creep with a camera back then, and she wondered when he became important to her. Her heart clenched watching him, a feeling she associated with Bonnie crying or her mother looking so hurt after another blithe insult.
Klaus mattered to her, and he was upset; Caroline just wanted to make it better.
“Hey,” she said quietly, not wanting to startle him. Creeping closer, she took in the hazy, bloodshot eyes. “Care to share the bottle?”
Sighing, Klaus handed it over, only for her to set it aside. He blindly reached for it again, but Caroline stepped into his grasp instead. Surprisingly quick, he pulled her into a tight hug.
“What’s wrong?”
A dark laugh rumbled from Klaus’s chest. “What isn’t?”
Caroline leaned back to hold his face between her hands, watching him carefully. “Klaus, you’re scaring me.”
He blanched; he looked like he wanted to be sick. “Mikael,” he finally sighed, lowering his forehead to her shoulder. “We fought, and he- It got bad.”
Wincing, Caroline could read between the lines. Klaus had shared a bit about his home life, but not as much about Mikael and the way he seemed to have a least favorite child. She had found the occasional bruise or scrape, but Klaus never offered an explanation.
It wasn’t her business; she wasn’t his girlfriend.
Yet, she found herself stroking fingers through his hair, wanting to coax him out of the distant look of pain. “Do you want to talk about it?”
“Why, so you can go back to your friends and pretend not to know anything about me or my life?” Klaus snorted derisively.
“Hey, you called me and I came.” Caroline pulled back so she could walk toward the car. “Take out whatever angst trip you’re on against me, sure, but I care about you and I’m bringing you home.”
“You don’t care about anyone but yourself.”
Turning on her heel, Caroline stopped dead at the miserable anger burning in his eyes. She held out a hand expectantly. “I care about you,” she repeated, her voice softer than before.
Staring for a moment too long, Klaus finally twined his fingers through hers to let her lead them to the car. He was quiet the whole drive; he barely even fussed when she ushered him up to her bedroom and into her bed. It wasn’t until they both lay under the covers, facing each other in the dark, that he whispered, “Do you really?”
“Yeah,” she whispered back. “Does it really bother you that we’re not official?”
Klaus didn’t answer. He just shifted closer to press an uncoordinated kiss to her cheek. “I love you,” he murmured, already half asleep.
Biting her lip, Caroline waited until his eyes drifted all the way closed and his breath evened out. “I love you, too.”
Before she could get too comfortable against him, though, she grabbed her phone from the nightstand. “Nothing more official than Facebook,” she muttered as she changed her relationship status.
The phone started to buzz angrily, probably Bonnie or Elena reacting to the news.
Snuggling close to Klaus, Caroline had never cared less about what her friends thought. She just wanted a good night’s sleep with her boyfriend before dealing with his hangover and any fallout the next day.

God’s answered prayers from last week
During my down time, I try to reflect more of God’s blessings in my life and this helps with a couple of things for me
1. Remind me to praise the blesser and not just the blessings
2. Be reminded of who is in ultimate control of my life.
Boy, do I have a few praises this week! I had 3 specific prayer requests last week and they were all answered so quickly! Praise God for this. Although they were not all answers I would have hoped (actually, they were all negatory in my mind’s eye, but God answers always)
1. UCLA acceptance letter and God’s plan for that
2. Continue to work in Santa Monica after I move down to SoCal at end of April
3. Planning out finances and scraping up $46,000 for grad school (either take a loan and have savings? or take little loan and pay as I go and have little savings)
God has been revealing truths and clear paths all within 3-4 days since I got the news of not being accepted into UCLA. It was unfortunate to be rejected and know that there are better candidates at the interview. I was so shocked to hear that they are only taking 60 students out of 366 ish applicants! But Im glad I got the opportunity to interview with them and see wonderful candidates believing in social justice and being advocates for title 1 schools. I felt so privileged to be sitting in the same room as them! I definitely felt peace at the fact that there were no questioning on where I should go now and I want to especially thank Mrs Chew for being so encouraging on the phone. I thought they were going to be disappointed in me for not getting into UCLA like the rest of their family :( Steven once said to me something along the lines of “My mom said you went to an UC school so you’re smart” Even though UCSC is a meh school, It was something I found comfort in, being seen as someone who can keep up with their son intellectually. I think thats what hit me the hardest about not getting into UCLA, not seen as smart enough anymore. But Mrs. Chew called me to tell me that shes not disappointed in me and not only that, she encouraged me with stories of Steven as a boy and how sometimes we just can’t see God’s plan because we are so nearsighted. I completely agree. Thank you Mrs. Chew! :) Just two days ago, I finally had a talk with my boss and unfortunately the day that I am leaving for SoCal will be my last day here at HGA. I’m going to miss working on this Stanford Hospital Project. Because I did not study architecture in undergrad, I didnt expect for myself to be so attached to the Children’s Hospital here. After a long 10 year long process, this hospital is finally being completed. I was hoping to continue working on this project until August at our Santa Monica office (when the project is finally done). but they wont have a need for me by May already :( oh no! What am i going to do financially! I love how flexible my job is, I love my paycheck. I love that I only need to take out about a 1,000 dollars in loans every semester instead of thousands and thousands. God is definitely challenging me to be live a more simpler life, a more disciplined life style with simpler needs. He is challenging me to trust Him more, to trust that mustard seeds can move mountains. AND He’s already placing people in my life to ease this challenge. Such as.. Steven.. paying my down payment for my new car. I’m still uncomfortable about it... but it is incredibly generous of him. I keep telling him I’ll pay him back monthly.. but all he says to me is that the money will only go back to us because he sees it as an investment in our relationship. :’) So grateful for having someone like him... alas, my plan is more clear. Even though I wont have job in June, I can actually go on the 11 day cruise with him and his family instead of worrying about whether or not I'm able to take a PTO. Another silver lining is that I am able to defer for another term! I shouldve started classes back in January, but because of church, planning my move and because of work, I deferred until Summer session I. But I’m going to defer until Summer Session 2 now. From beginning of May until end of June (when we come back from cruise / when classes start), Ill have almost two months to look for a new job! Another great praise :) In the past, I always took job search for granted thinking “ oh God will take care of me, he will, i dont need to worry about finding a job” and boom “ I land job after job post college. I see people struggle with finding jobs for 6 months, a year and more but I always got a job less than 3 weeks when I wanted to switch jobs. I definitely did not include God in my job hunt at the time nor praise him until after the fact when I am hired. But this time, I really truly need to include God in this process. I admit I have not been relying on Him as much I should...
Thank you God for these challenges and revealing yourself to me even though these are not the answers I have wanted. Thank you for allowing me to see you through these “bad news”. You however, is Good News and you have already crafted me in this Tapestry of Life. When I can’t see the bigger picture, I pray that I can continue to trust you in day to day life and include you in my decision making process.
Last night I met with my discipler, Valene, and we were supposed to go over Romans together but instead just got caught up with life updates. While she was praying for me, she prayed about a whole spectrum on things, from my packing (purging my possessions, clothes and and emotions) to also praising about the long 2 year journey I had with her. I remember that day well... I had came over to her house with a laptop with like 10% research on what I where I wanted to apply to. I had 0 direction. I remember sitting there crying about how hard it was to get started and how am i able to afford school. I remember meeting her at starbucks on Foothill Blvd at 3pm in the afternoon tutoring me on how to write effective papers for the CBEST. (apparently I was terrible at writing argumentative essays back then, haha) Thank God for someone like Valene. To this day, I still don’t know what could have called me to just randomly shout out to her at church “WILL YOU DISCIPLE ME?!?!” She probably thought I was crazy! Must be God, what else could it have been?! We barely knew each other, but I knew I needed her. God, you knew I needed her. She has been so so so so so good to me and only wants what is best for my heart, even if they’re not things I want to hear.
I praise you Lord, even though my circumstance is giving me a rougher time than usual, you have taught me more on how to rely on you. As Peter says in
1 Peter 5:7
Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.

Pickup post #4 - It’s Sony weeks
So the last couple weeks were slow after the last GameCube find at work. Very slow, so much so I didn’t even find anything else Nintendo related. I am talking to someone about a GameCube game on OfferUp, so we’ll see how that goes. There is also a possible small NES and Game Boy game lot from another co-worker that is in discussion. So I have some things simmering, hopefully I’ll have something more to post about soon, but no more Nintendo finds. Everything I found in the last couple weeks was at a Goodwill, and was Sony related.
I have no problem with this, while not really collecting for Playstation per se, I do have some fond memories of playing many Playstation games growing up. Twisted Metal 2 was fantastic both one player and two player. I would play with friends, my dad, my brother, it’s just a great game. The sound effect you get when you get a kill is so satisfying. Will never get old.
Another series of games I spent a ton of time with was the Gran Turismo series. I had the original one first, as most did, and really enjoyed the experience. Starting from the bottom, buying cars, winning races, upgrading your cars or buying new ones and moving up the ladder. I eventually bought the second one and enjoyed it just as much. Essentially a racing game RPG.
All three of the items I’m going into now were picked up across the end of the month of May, and the first week or so of June. I was hitting dozens of garage and yard sales, combing OfferUp and LetGo. Nothing. I literally hit at least 12 yard sales in an hour span one day and got “Nope, my son took all those” as an answer at 3 of them when asked if they had any older video games.
This was why I couldn’t pass it up when I spotted Gran Turismo 4 on the PS2 at a Goodwill. Just needed to get something, anything to have a find at this point, and I was so fond of the first two. So I bought it. I don’t even have a PS2.
This game is near mint. Only a couple minor dings on the outer case, still very shiny. Manual is in very good condition, and the disc looks like it’s never been taken out of the case.
Snagged this one for $2.99.
Just immaculate condition, I was stunned for a $3 game sitting in a thrift store. I mean just look at the disc, look at it! Absolutely pristine.
I’ll be honest, I’ve never been a huge fan of the PS2, even badmouthed it on numerous occasions. Maybe even right here in this blog saying I’d never collect for it. It all stemmed from when I played Twisted Metal Black back in 2001, and the steering for driving in reverse was backwards from the first 4 games on the PS1. I loved those games. However, on Black I got so frustrated going the wrong way every time I tried to back up. I’d try to turn one way, the car would go the other and screw up what I was trying to do. Did you ever see those videos of the guy trying to learn how to ride a bike when the steering is inverted? It’s a Smarter Every Day episode. Click here if you are curious. Essentially what it comes down to is muscle memory. You’ve done something so much you now no longer THINK about having to do it, you just do it. While not as complicated as riding a bike, doing a rookie turn in Twisted Metal was something I’d done over and over again. It was automatic. Having it reversed, completely broke the game for me to the point where I almost couldn’t function. I know backing up is maybe 20% of the time in that game, but that still puts me at 80% effectiveness, because I was useless backing up. You have to be able to move in reverse, and aim at the same time. Not easy with steering opposite from everything you’ve known for the last 5 or 6 years in a series.
It crushed my love of the Twisted Metal series. The developers completely ruined the game with one simple direction change that was counter intuitive. Turned me off completely. Never had a desire to buy a PS2 after that. Because that was the ONE game at the time I was anticipating on the system.
Now though, heh...
In the thick of a retro gaming hunt, I figured there was a real possibility I could eventually get one, if for nothing else, to play my old PS1 games, and test any PS1 or PS2 games I pick up and intend to flip. I thought it couldn’t hurt to have a few choice games in the collection for the PS2, it was the best selling game system of all time for a reason.
Don’t get me wrong I am still a Nintendo fan boy at heart, and the vast majority of the content you should see in the blog will still be for Nintendo, but, good games are good games. Might as well enjoy them. If I find a good deal on a system or game that is not Nintendo, I’m going to go for it, whether I intend to sell it or keep it I’ll still post it up here for everyone to read about. Heck, I’d even be willing to give Twisted Metal Black another play if it comes along for cheap. Overall, I am game hunting, and Nintendo is not the only manufacturer and developer of video games. So with that out of the way, on to the next bit of the find.
Next up is Hot Shots Golf 3, I have played the earlier ones on the PS1 back in the day. They are good. Not blowing anyone away, but good fun games.
It is essentially a platform agnostic Mario Golf. So I figured it couldn’t hurt to have. I love my copy of Mario Golf Toadstool Tour. This one reminds me of that a lot, right down to the “Nice Shot!” it says after getting the markers lined up for a swing. When the girl at the Goodwill rings you out at the DVD price of $1.99, instead of the video game price of $2.99, no complaints here either. Especially since it was a little bit of a gamble. Admittedly, because it was pretty scratched. But I didn’t see any real deep ones, so it should play. If it doesn’t, eh, it was $2. Still, it was complete, and in good shape otherwise. Would I have bought it had I not been on a dry spell? Probably not.
Lastly, the Goodwill by my work had a PS1 on the shelf in the electronics section. If you read my blog regularly I have mentioned this one before as being the more robust in the video game department of the two I normally visit. Had the PS1 come into the one by my house it probably would have went in the auction case. If it was cheaper I may have picked it up, but it was a relatively high $14.99. This for a stand alone PS1, just the system, no cables, no games, no included controllers, no guarantee it works, nothing. However, it did have a dual shock 1 controller sitting there with it, with its own price tag of course. The sticks and buttons all felt great, tight and responsive. So I snagged it.
$3.99.
I took it home, cracked it open, and cleaned it up. It was in really good shape under a bit of the grime that was there. I hooked it to my PS1 to USB adapter and tried it with ePSXe on the PC. Works fine. Even the joys don’t have any grooves worn in them or anything. They did have that plastic “dust” under them that comes from use, but it cleaned up and looks fine.
The shoulder buttons are responsive and clean as well. Just an all around good controller. I couldn’t pass it up.
So $9.61 total for two games and a controller.
Apparently Goodwill is charging tax where I live. I’ve seen it be no tax before, but I think it depends completely on the region they are in. Wish it was tax free here, but alas it is not.
Kind of terrible that it took almost a full two weeks of hunting just to come up with that. I’m struggling for content on this blog as far as hunting goes. But, I’ll take what I can get. I’m going to keep at it, I’ll keep hitting yard sales, garage sales, flea markets and thrift stores as often as time allows. Obviously when winter hits, yard and garage sales wont be options. Those will certainly be slower months. Though, to be perfectly honest, I haven’t found anything at a yard sale or garage sale yet, so, what difference do those make, at least thus far? Dozens of sales this season under my belt with not a single find at even one of them. The prices are always much higher on other avenues, like OfferUp or LetGo. Everyone always checks eBay before listing anything, and usually wants close to that number.
The luck I’m having with co-workers and Goodwill I may just stop going to yard/garage sales.
I’m kidding, you won’t know whats there until you get there. So I won’t stop going when the opportunity arises.
Official business:
$11.09 - $9.61 = $1.48 game hunting money remaining.
YIKES!
Knowing we were very low on funds, like critically low, I sold the Game Boy Player from the last find. The auction was running when I bought Hot Shots Golf 3 actually, so I had a plan for funds. Even though we never actually went negative. YAY!
I had to use eBay, I had no other choice. Here’s the completed auction.
As you can see, it sold this weekend and it went for $67.00, plus $3.99 shipping. Totaling $70.99. Ebay is kind of terrible to sell on, you really feel like you get fee’d to death. But it works for quick sales on desirable items. Generally you get a little more than you could do in cash face to face with someone so it evens out somewhat. Not all the way, but somewhat. I figure if I sold this to someone locally for cash, I would get somewhere between $45 and $50 since they will likely want to haggle. On the auction, it sold faster than it would to find a buyer on a local site, and after Paypal took their fees, eBay took their fees, and I shipped it, I actually walked away with $52.88. So a couple bucks more than I figure I would have gotten. It feels like you are getting bent over, but in most cases the prices are higher BECAUSE of how much you get bent over and it sort of evens out. Lets put that back into the game hunting money...
$1.48 + $52.88 = $54.36
Whew! Close one, almost went negative. I mean I don’t mind if we go negative. You can’t know what’s going to happen though, if the right deal comes along, it may force your hand. As long as there is something to sell in that lot, or on hand from a past one to bring it positive again, I’m OK with extending myself some credit if I have to.
$54.36 game hunting money remaining. Happy June guys. Hoping to find something else soon so I can post some more content.

Entry 20: 07.25.19 @ 2:43 p.m.
I’m home sitting at the bar top.
So, I’m still not done writing my first emotional vent because it gets hard to finish. I write a little and then get angry with myself because of the amount of shit I allowed to happen in my life. It’s still a sore subject for me. I’m going to keep pushing and writing a little every couple of days until it’s done. For now I felt like warming up with an update.
My ex, the one I moved to Texas with, recently hit me up. First, it was his sister-in-law that contacted me. She texted me asking about life and making small talk. I felt like this was a sign that I would soon hear from him and alas I did just a week later. He created a tumblr and sent me a message (different account than this one) saying that he thinks about me and feels bad about how he brought me here only to have me alone etc. He also said that he loves me and is still going to be there for me if I ever need anything. Of course i dont believe any of this crap because actions speak louder than words. I didnt reply to him and I went into my settings so that he couldn’t see if I was ever active. He then messaged me again saying that he also had some mail for me. So I bit and told him I didnt know what to say and asked if he could bring my letters the next time he was on my side of town. I wont waste with too many details but he agreed and then started feeling me out. Looking for answers he obviously wanted about me. He claimed that he saw me with another man and sees that I’m happier without him. (Insert puke sound here) I rolled my eyes because I knew what he was doing. I myself have not been with anyone in public since I kicked him out of my life. I gave him his answer in the same round about way he was asking. He then talked and acted like he was very concerned about how I’ve been living and interested in my wellbeing. I allowed it and then asked him about his. He gave me his sob story about how he’s been in and out of the hospital the last few weeks for inflammation in his head. I asked him how it happened and he told me exactly what I suspected: his drug/alcohol abuse. All I could do was pretend to care while at the same time resist telling him how stupid he was and how he deserves it for all the times I told him to change his habits and he fought me about it. I didn’t say any of it though. Anyway we eventually got back around to the subject of my mail and he told me he would bring it by after work in two days. That day was yesterday and he got off around 4. I know this because he told me he had about 20 pieces but could only find “…two right now.” and that he would still bring them if I wanted. Of course, I knew this meant that he got off work and now wants to go do something else with someone else and doesnt feel like driving over to me. I questioned how old the last letter was and he only told me what kind of letter it was….so I told him to bring them. He said ok and ignored me until 10 pm. During those six hours, i sent him two messages regarding his arrival and then finally told him to just leave it outside my door at his earliest convience. I was so annoyed because this was just like him. He always says hes going to do something (A task he came up with that NOBODY asked him to do!!!) and then at the last minute, doesnt come through. I texted his sister-in-law and asked her when the last letter for me was recieved so that I could gage if it was worth recieving. She told me she didnt know and that “last time I checked, he told me he throws them away.” OF COURSE HE DOES. It sounds just like him and for him to just randomly mention mail as a last resort to get a response from me…and to say that he had twenty but could only find two. He was finally talking to me and now he feels guilty that he did that shit out of anger. Ugh, he made me sick. He is still the manipulative, lying piece-of-shit I left. I was glad I had already told him to just leave the letters outside, I knew it was a game and waste of time. He messaged me an hour after. Saying he would get off work in an hour and a half..A FAT FUCKING LIE. I didnt even point out his bullshit that was so clearly laid out in the preceding text. Then he passive aggressively mentions how he guesses he will leave it in front of my door. Then I replied in the same manner that he could do whatever he wanted, I was home. He said ok and my next thought was that he would show up at my door, showered and in comfortable clothes and not work clothes. Two hours later, he did exactly that smh. I knew him too well, he is such a bullshitter. He had gained weight too, Alot of weight. He looked at me for a moment and bashfully looked away, not saying anything and handing me my letters. I grabbed them and he immediately started walking away. “Bye”, I said and he mumbled it back without a falter in his pace. I knew this game too. He wanted me to chase him. I didn’t and had no desire to. I also wasn’t going to message him either because I knew he was waiting for it too. He messaged me twenty minutes later saying how it was nice seeing me and seeing that I was doing well. What a stupid thing to say. We didn’t speak and he hardly looked at me. “Did you see me? You ran off…”. “Yeah I did just had my coworker in the car had to take him home”. A lie to excuse his cowardice. I closed the conversation, “ It’s all good” and left it at that.
I’m pretty sure with him, he wants to show his interest and hope that he gives me the least amount of energy to get me back in his world. I’m no fool, I know him better than he knows himself and I know my worth. I REFUSE to be involved with an unreliable, manipulative, lying, selfish, narc like him again. He wont be a problem unless I allow him to be, unless I give him permission by continuing interaction and being friendly. I will not. I will not talk to him, I will not entertain him, or invite him into my apartment, or tell him about my personal life. He had a plethora of time and chances with me that he did not take advantage of…well…in a positive way. He surely took advantage of me and my emotions/affections for his own personal gain. Ugh, he’s a sick and fucked up individual and a cancerous mass in my life. I cut him out and will not let him back in. I WILL NOT.

"tum hi mera ishq ho, tum hi mera junoon.." his words.. just spoken with poignant convenience. I have always wondered what's in him that I always imagined myself beside him. "MADHUBALA.." my mom called, distracting me from the promo of my favorite actor's new film Ek Ishq Ek Junoon on TV.. "coming mamma" I said moving from screen reluctantly. New film promotions keep on airing for every two minutes on different music channels isn't it? I convinced myself and went to the kitchen. "Beta, it's getting late for lunch. Help me with the cutting of vegetables" she asked. "Now do you need to request?" I asked with hands on my hips, "if I wont do this then who'll do. Infact I'd say I'll cook today. And my sweet mamma will be on a holiday" I said being ever bubbly and holding her shoulders from back. "but.." "no if no but.." I pushed her gently out of the kitchen with a giggle. I picked up onions and chopper knife. Tears started flowing from my eyes even before cutting it. Oops sorry my onion, I have bought you for 40rs a kilo only to murder you, trust me. "Madhu.. no nautanki.. please make it fast" mom shouted from bedroom. Mother! She indeed knows everything. She remained a junior artist but my goal is set. To become an actress and act opposite RK. My hero. I was just starting my work when I heard a soft piano tune, strings of violin followed. My heart was on a marathon at that moment as I left my work only to run towards my hall. I stopped in my tracks as I saw him. Dil Ibadat kar raha hai dhadkane meri sun, tujhk main karloon haasil lagi hai yehi dhun. I sat on the sofa again. It's my favorite song. The beats, the setting, the soulful singer, the deep lyrics and ofcourse RK. My RK. Everything is just perfect in this song. Myriad of emotions on his face, that draw one towards his him ad trap in the chimera of his character. Who needs a prince charming when the vampire in silver Volvo.. oops I mean in black Mercedes drives crazy. Abhay is the character which he hasn't enacted but lived. -"No.. not again!!" my mom threw a pillow at me. "You left the work in the middle and on top of it can't you hear the bell?" she scolded. -"huh, did it ring?" I asked apprehensively. She shook her head. Impossible! What should I do with this girl! She must have muttered. Definitely I was. It was my father. -"I have been rung the bell thrice" he said as soon as she opened the door. -"papa!" I went and hugged him. He looked tired as I ran and got a glass of water for him. Indeed a cameraman's job is tiresome. -"Madhu, look what I have got for you?" he said excited. -"what Papa" I asked coz I his surprises are always worth it. He opened his bag and took out an envelope. I took them and wondered what is it. As I opened it my eyes grew wider. My jaw dropped and my mind froze at the moment. "in..invita..tion fffor.." I stammered and then looked at Papa. I hugged him tight. "Invitation for RK's new film premiere!!!" I shouted. "a-w-w-w. awww!!! Thanks Papa!" The premiere was in the evening. Catching RK's film ek ishq ek junoon on the premiere was a dream come true. Honestly I could never sleep properly if I don't see his movies on the first day. But after his last film pyar ki ye ek kahani which was a blockbuster, all the tickets were completely booked on the first day. But now I don't need any ticket!! I have pass for the premiere!! I was on seventh heaven. I would catch the glimpse of him even closer this time. I immediately opened my wardrobe and began choosing dresses. Nothing is just… ufff I was constantly cursing under my breath. Such a big occasion and I have got nothing decent to wear. Finally I picked up the dress that I wore to the sets for the first time when I went to meet him. That day I can never forget. Shooting had to be stopped abruptly due to increasing crowd. RK left in his car. I shouted from the crowd but he didn't turn back. I tried to look my best that day and today I'll wear the same again since it's the best dress I combed my hair and instead of wearing a in a braid I just tied in a pony. I used subtle waterproof make up, yeah what if it rains suddenly like the last time. And finally I'm done. I looked into the mirror; the pink salwar kameez perfectly suited me. After pink is the color of love. But something was missing or something was extra. But what? I wondered as I looked at myself carefully. Answer came quickly. I pulled my pink band out from my hair and pushed few strands forward. Perfect! I said giving a flying kiss to myself on mirror. At the premiere, I showed my pass to the collector who let me in. I saw many of the celebrities who attended to watch the most awaited film of the year. It was already declared a hit by many. The producer was on the profit side even before the film released. Buyers and distributors were banking on it. My seat was on the thirty sixth row. Yet I wasn't disappointed. I kept my autograph book ready. The film started, titles scrolled. But RK was nowhere to be seen. Where is he? Late for premiere? I wondered. No, no, perhaps he is struck in traffic, I told myself. Then I could hear the crowd screaming.. RK… RK… only RK's name was on everyone's lips. He entered the hall with his four bodyguards who were trying to keep the people from throwing themselves on him. My heart skipped the beat seeing the Greek God before me. Impeccably dressed in black Armani, he looked stunning. His chiseled jaw, wet spray set hair whose few stands were playing on his broad forehead and how can one miss his hypnotic ice blue eyes that had the dangerously captivating power. RK, Rishabh Kumar is an epitome of dreams for which you would have both ishq and junoon. I joined the crowd too, just to get an autograph. But everything in vain. He set his steps quickly to the VIP section and the crowd remained back. So did I. I couldn't completely concentrate on the film. Though I was involved in it more than anyone else in the hall. Yet my gazes were shifting to and from RK's side to the screen. The film was over. I ran outside where he would be soon leaving from. Everything was the same, the crowd, the rope fencing, the securitymen controlling; definitely no chance of getting autograph. No, I can't miss the chance today, I told myself. God Gracious! It's raining now. I waited still until RK left in his car. "RK… RK…" I called out and rushed forward pushing the crowd. But the security didn't allow me to go further. And alas! At last he left. I walked home back in despair. Neither I could see the film properly nor I could reach RK. As looked at my watch it was already too late. My mobile stopped working as it got drenched in rain. So did I. My perfectly dress is now wet. I called for many autos but I could catch one. Then I decided to take a shortcut walking back. I was crossing the road when I heard a horn. My eyes went blur due to rain and light, perhaps the headlight of the car. I panicked and as a result fell down, my heart was thumping irregularly. Am I hit? "hey you… driver check the lady out.." I heard a voice, so familiar. "stupid pedestrians!" yes, it was familiar. Too familiar. I opened my eyes and got up. I saw a middle-aged man in white uniform standing before me. "you okay. If anything had happened to you then Sir will get into controversy" he said worried, "and so does my job and life" -"no, I'm fine" I said brushing my elbows unable to see the fretting of the man, then what followed made me dumbstruck. My gaze shifted to the car and I saw him out of it. RK! a soft whisper escaped my lips. My mind has already transported to la-la land. He was just few feet away from me. "can I drop you somewhere?" he said. I nodded subconsciously. I'm sure I'm hit. And I'm in heaven. This isn't true, is it? I sat in his car and gained my senses due to the driver's voice, "where madam?" "Borivalli" I said. Few minutes passed in silence. Neither he spoke nor did I. My Prince Charming is before me and me, a certified chatter box is short of words? Finally I decided to start the conversation. Afterall this is once in a lifetime moment. I unzipped my bag and took out my slam book. -"autograph please" I offered him. He looked at me with certain attitude. -"so, finally you got chance. Last time, at the set you missed me" he said with his eyes on the book and signing. I was taken aback by his works. that means…. -"you have noticed me that day?" I asked eagery, "and you remember too" -"ofcourse" he closed the book, "how can I forget such a pretty.." he paused and looked at me, "dress" he completed. "you have worn the same the last time. I saw in the rear view mirror while leaving" he said giving my book back. -"oh!" I said. It was embarrassing, he noticed my dress but didn't spare a look at me? But hey! He remembered. He remembered me. He saw me that day! And what I examined closely were his expressions. Honesly, there were no expressions on his face. Myriad of emotions he shows on-screen had none. He was blank. And his straight face was somehow disturbing to me. Is this what people call attitude? -"I can't believe I'm sitting next to you. This happens only in dreams" I said blushing like a schoolgirl. -"this happens in films too" he said. Ofcourse like hero, heroine, rain and lift. Not surprised. I have heard he speaks quick and crisp. Finally the car halted at the starting of my house lane. So soon! I didn't feel like going. I got out and waved my hand in goodbye. Words died at that moment for me. Parting is always difficult isnt it? Before leaving I heard him say, "you are pretty and unforgettable" My jaw dropped on his confession as the car zoomed out of my sight. It was a drive to remember coz it happens only in dreams, oh yes and in films too. Jin.

Entry 20: 07.25.19 @ 2:43 p.m.
I’m home sitting at the bar top.
So, I’m still not done writing my first emotional vent because it gets hard to finish. I write a little and then get angry with myself because of the amount of shit I allowed to happen in my life. It’s still a sore subject for me. I’m going to keep pushing and writing a little every couple of days until it’s done. For now I felt like warming up with an update.
My ex, the one I moved to Texas with, recently hit me up. First, it was his sister-in-law that contacted me. She texted me asking about life and making small talk. I felt like this was a sign that I would soon hear from him and alas I did just a week later. He created a tumblr and sent me a message (different account than this one) saying that he thinks about me and feels bad about how he brought me here only to have me alone etc. He also said that he loves me and is still going to be there for me if I ever need anything. Of course i dont believe any of this crap because actions speak louder than words. I didnt reply to him and I went into my settings so that he couldn’t see if I was ever active. He then messaged me again saying that he also had some mail for me. So I bit and told him I didnt know what to say and asked if he could bring my letters the next time he was on my side of town. I wont waste with too many details but he agreed and then started feeling me out. Looking for answers he obviously wanted about me. He claimed that he saw me with another man and sees that I’m happier without him. (Insert puke sound here) I rolled my eyes because I knew what he was doing. I myself have not been with anyone in public since I kicked him out of my life. I gave him his answer in the same round about way he was asking. He then talked and acted like he was very concerned about how I’ve been living and interested in my wellbeing. I allowed it and then asked him about his. He gave me his sob story about how he’s been in and out of the hospital the last few weeks for inflammation in his head. I asked him how it happened and he told me exactly what I suspected: his drug/alcohol abuse. All I could do was pretend to care while at the same time resist telling him how stupid he was and how he deserves it for all the times I told him to change his habits and he fought me about it. I didn’t say any of it though. Anyway we eventually got back around to the subject of my mail and he told me he would bring it by after work in two days. That day was yesterday and he got off around 4. I know this because he told me he had about 20 pieces but could only find “...two right now.” and that he would still bring them if I wanted. Of course, I knew this meant that he got off work and now wants to go do something else with someone else and doesnt feel like driving over to me. I questioned how old the last letter was and he only told me what kind of letter it was....so I told him to bring them. He said ok and ignored me until 10 pm. During those six hours, i sent him two messages regarding his arrival and then finally told him to just leave it outside my door at his earliest convience. I was so annoyed because this was just like him. He always says hes going to do something (A task he came up with that NOBODY asked him to do!!!) and then at the last minute, doesnt come through. I texted his sister-in-law and asked her when the last letter for me was recieved so that I could gage if it was worth recieving. She told me she didnt know and that “last time I checked, he told me he throws them away.” OF COURSE HE DOES. It sounds just like him and for him to just randomly mention mail as a last resort to get a response from me...and to say that he had twenty but could only find two. He was finally talking to me and now he feels guilty that he did that shit out of anger. Ugh, he made me sick. He is still the manipulative, lying piece-of-shit I left. I was glad I had already told him to just leave the letters outside, I knew it was a game and waste of time. He messaged me an hour after. Saying he would get off work in an hour and a half..A FAT FUCKING LIE. I didnt even point out his bullshit that was so clearly laid out in the preceding text. Then he passive aggressively mentions how he guesses he will leave it in front of my door. Then I replied in the same manner that he could do whatever he wanted, I was home. He said ok and my next thought was that he would show up at my door, showered and in comfortable clothes and not work clothes. Two hours later, he did exactly that smh. I knew him too well, he is such a bullshitter. He had gained weight too, Alot of weight. He looked at me for a moment and bashfully looked away, not saying anything and handing me my letters. I grabbed them and he immediately started walking away. “Bye”, I said and he mumbled it back without a falter in his pace. I knew this game too. He wanted me to chase him. I didn’t and had no desire to. I also wasn’t going to message him either because I knew he was waiting for it too. He messaged me twenty minutes later saying how it was nice seeing me and seeing that I was doing well. What a stupid thing to say. We didn’t speak and he hardly looked at me. “Did you see me? You ran off...”. “Yeah I did just had my coworker in the car had to take him home”. A lie to excuse his cowardice. I closed the conversation, “ It’s all good” and left it at that.
I’m pretty sure with him, he wants to show his interest and hope that he gives me the least amount of energy to get me back in his world. I’m no fool, I know him better than he knows himself and I know my worth. I REFUSE to be involved with an unreliable, manipulative, lying, selfish, narc like him again. He wont be a problem unless I allow him to be, unless I give him permission by continuing interaction and being friendly. I will not. I will not talk to him, I will not entertain him, or invite him into my apartment, or tell him about my personal life. He had a plethora of time and chances with me that he did not take advantage of...well...in a positive way. He surely took advantage of me and my emotions/affections for his own personal gain. Ugh, he’s a sick and fucked up individual and a cancerous mass in my life. I cut him out and will not let him back in. I WILL NOT.

Flyers announce Carter Hart is out at least 10 days
I love The Price is Right. Every time I took off a day from school as a kid, I’d have some chicken noodle soup and flip on CBS at 11AM to be greeted by Rod Roddy and Bob Barker. I always rooted for the old people. Something about a 90-year-old lady getting a trip to Thailand made me believe in the best in humanity. I digress. The best part of the show was any time someone failed a challenge and was lambasted by the marvelous sound of the fail horn. You know if from Tony Bruno’s soundboard, “I hate to do it to him [bum-bum-bum-bum-BUUUUUUMMMMMMM].”
That’s the exact sound I imagine Flyers management heard with each and every profanity-laced tweet sent their way after head coach Scott Gordon stunned everyone watching his post-practice press conference, the one in which he announce Brian Elliot – not Carter Hart – would be starting Saturday’s Stadium Series game against the cross-state rival Pittsburgh Penguins.
There were choruses of fans declaring a gross mismanagement of the 20-year-old Wunderkind netminder. He was chased in consecutive games against the vaunted Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday and the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday. On both occasions Brian Elliott – who was shaky at best in two games with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms coming off yet another injury – filled in surprisingly well. I’ll be honest: I never thought Hart should’ve started those two games. No goalie was going to stop the flurry of shots the Flyers were bound to give up, and considering the circumstances of Gordon pulling Hart on Tuesday, Carter should’ve been given a few days to clear his head and prepare for Saturday. Alas, that never came to pass. Gordon went on a four minute soliloquy outlining the reasons the decision was made – too many consecutive starts, confidence, Elliott’s consistent play – but never did he once mention an injury. That’s why Saturday morning’s announcement was such a surprise:
#Flyers goaltender Carter Hart has a lower-body injury and is expected to be out a minimum of 10 days. pic.twitter.com/b69WLB2CDv
— Philadelphia Flyers (@NHLFlyers) February 23, 2019
I took in practice will the rest of the assembled media from the press box at Lincoln Financial Field, and not one person audibly expressed concern for Hart’s physical wellbeing. So why did the announcement happen now, and – perhaps more importantly – why didn’t the team have Gordon announce it Friday night?
Possibilities after the jump:
Hart’s Been Playing Through Injury
Perhaps the easiest answer is the correct one. It’s entirely possible Carter caught a knock in a game, didn’t think much of it, and had it exacerbated by an extended stretch of play. Perhaps the team leaned on him too much. Perhaps he realized how critical he was to the team’s turnaround and didn’t want to come out of the lineup. Bill Meltzer, who is one of the most-respected writers on the beat made a solid point:
Either Hart got injured in practice and it worsened this morning or he was dealing with something during the week he didn't think was too bad but then worsened. What is NOT is a "PR move". Optics are WORSE to say he'll start Tue or Thu then say next morning he's injured.
— Bill Meltzer (@billmeltzer) February 23, 2019
I think it’s more likely that Hart tweaked something and the team wanted to be cautious. Cam Talbot has been traveling with the team and will serve as Brian Elliott’s backup on Saturday. While neither has had an exceptional season, they’ve both shown an ability to keep teams in games in the past, albeit for short stretches.
The Social Media Backlash
A less-likely option, but one that many have and will continue to clamor to is the notion that the angry Flyers Twitter mob forced the front office’s hand. I, for one, had numerous people quote tweeting my tweet about Elliott starting with people calling out the Flyers for robbing them of what should have been an excellent moment in their future franchise goaltender’s career. Did GM Chuck Fletcher fear the game would be hijacked on TV with multiple cutaways to a bummed Carter Hart sitting on the bench longing for a chance to jump in? Were the Flyers fearful that Lincoln Financial Field was going to become a house of horrors as nearly 70,000 fans booed Brian Elliott and chanted “Car-ter Hart!”? I doubt it, but I’m not the Flyers front office.
Trade Value
Not for Carter Hart. It’s possible that the Flyers wanted to guarantee that Brian Elliott will have the chance to play a solid game in net, raising whatever potential trade value he could bring ahead of Monday’s 3PM trade deadline. With Hart out of the picture, it stands to reason that Elliott won’t feel the need to look over his shoulder. He knows that with Talbot’s acquisition, he doesn’t fit into the team’s long-term plans. This allows him to go out and showcase himself to the other 30 teams in the NHL.
Chuck Fletcher Knows It’s Time to Sell
I don’t believe in this one, but it’s worth noting. The Flyers got lit up against Tampa Bay on Tuesday. With a rusty Brian Elliott filling in for a pulled Carter Hart in net, I expected the Lightning to put up 8+ goals. Even if the Flyers were able to leapfrog the teams ahead of them in the standings, they’d almost assuredly get demolished in a first-round matchup against Tampa Bay. The recent winning stretch was nice. It gave the team a chance to showcase guy a guy like Wayne Simmonds in games that mattered, but if nothing else, this last week has shown that while the Flyers have pieces to build around for the future, they’re not remotely close to competing with the best teams in the conference. That’s okay. They’ll enter the off-season with more than $30m in cap space and plenty of attractive prospects to offer in potential trades around the Draft.

RELATED QUESTIONS:
Where should I go for medical and financial aid?
I've lived w. my mother all my life and gradually she has gotten more and more unorganized leading to disgusting living conditions. I have always kept my room together and received good grades to move on and out of my mothers house. In 2008 during my first week of college , I was diagnosed with a disease called Lupus. I was removed from the Boston College campus and forced to take time off of school. Since this, my return to school has been an long and difficult process. I am now 20 cooping well with the disease and attending night school. I have very little income and I was denied SSI as well as state insurance. As I am in the process of reapplying I find it hard to remain in my mothers living conditions in that no matter how I keep my things separate I have still accumulated unsanitary conditions. I dont know where to go for help and I am afraid of the stress I am experiencing causing me another flare and long hospital visit. I live in Rhode Island and have tried the welfare and community health care route. The only success I receive is hospital health care and a few doctors who are willing to discount my mandatory visits. Sometimes I feel like the only thing that is keeping me health is my faith and religion. As my relationship with God grows stronger I also find my self stuck in my situation. I know I would do well living on my own and getting into a regular routine I would just need a small boost of medical and financial support through any means available in the area. Any suggestions will help :) God Bless.""
Car wreck insurance question ?
I was involved in an accident.The other driver was found to be at fault and cited a ticket.His insurance company has told me my car is totaled.The frame is not bent.I feel my car can be fixed.I received a letter from his insurance company stating that they will not pay for the towing bill and after the 23rd would not pay for the storage bill because my car is considered to be totaled.The accident or crash report just came out yesterday it pointed out all the facts about the accident .The other driver is at fault.I asked them today what they were going to do they said they are still investigating the accident and were not going to make any decisions.How can they send me a letter about towing and storage and not have given me any check for my vehicle or made an offer or anything and then tell me they are still investigating the crash.How should i approach this whole thing ?

Okay, so this question is one of those, if you have to ask you can't afford it type of questions. Now I have loved Corvette's since I was old enough to identify cars. I have always dreamed of owning on, and the opportunity is upon me. After selling my car, and saved money, and saved funds, I can afford a 1998 Corvette Silver Automatic. Now it's a V8, and is pushing over 300HP easy. Insurance is ridiculously high, even with 2 and a half years of perfectly safe driving. (I hate the stereotype of just because I'm young, I'm an unsafe driver. Alas, all the idiots ruin it for us safe young adults.) Anyway the Vette clears out and is mint shape, no accidents, and is selling for $14,900 with 74K miles, a steal if you ask me. Anyway I have over $16,500 saved up, which leaves me with an issue. I can afford the car no problem, but I just know the insurance will be through the roof. However I was wondering if any of you have any idea on the cost. I have Metropolitan if you were wondering.""

I only have an old Renault Clio P reg and I paid a very small amount for it and I'm just disgusted at the cost of it. I wanted to know if theres anything that can be done about it?

Car Insurance Problems. Pain in The neck?
Im 22 and I have a terrible credit score. I am looking to insure my car by myself which has always been insured by other people like my parents/boyfriends mom etc. I know my credit score is my own fault but I have been running into difficulties trying to find a decent car insurer for my vehicle.

""Compare car insurance with health insurance, car insurance is a law, health insurance isn't why?""
car insurance is a law right? and I know a lot of people that have a very difficult time paying car insurance since it's so high, but it seems like insurance companies are making a lot of money, NOW how can we compare that to health insurance if it became a law to have to have it. You would hope that health insurance would be more affordable since more people are putting money into the pot right, but I am afraid but it being a law, the rich (insurance companies will get richer) and raise the cost of health insurance since it's a law. Maybe our solution would be to have our government give us tax breaks on health insurance premiums and some how get more for our money with health insurance. It's sad that you have to spend $500.00 a month for health insurance but still have to pay office visits and wait 6 months for preexisting problems. Maybe the solution is to have better health insurance options, right? Isn't that what McCain wants?""

What are your rights if a person's car hits you and they don't have auto insurance?
This was a non-reportable vehicle accident. The person's car who hit mine was a manual and somehow came down the hill and hit my car. No one was in that person's car.

What are my options? The owner of that car who hit me said that he is a mechanic and can fix my car. What should I do? Should I allow him or should I ask for his certification/license? I don't know if I can trust them either. I would rather have someone else fix it. Or should I just ask him to pay for the accident since he doesn't have car insurance?

How can I get affordable health insurance for my mother and I?
I am 22 years old and my mother is 57. While she was working, her job for the state had a very good health insurance which would cover me and her until I turned 25. However, her eye sight has started to go out on her and she could no longer do her job. She now works part time as a vendor for a brand of dog food, as that is the only job she could get in today's economy with her failing health. I am in college with a meager part time job. Medically, there is nothing wrong with me yet, but there have been times earlier this year where I got so sick that I felt like I was going to die, but no hospital or clinic would see me for less than $300, even though I knew I just needed some antibiotics. It's insane. I could not afford that. I am in college partly so that I can graduate, get a good job, and help my mother retire and live in good health. She needs to see a specialist, and at the crappy free hospitals, she has been waiting in line since January, and is not expected to see her doctor until December. I want to try and get us both affordable health care. Her, because she needs to see a doctor more often to have her medicine regulated, and me because whenever I get a viral infection, I don't want to lay in bed for a week until I'm able to buy antibiotics off of the black market. And I don't want this crappy healthcare system to kill my mom while she waits months for treatment she needs now. Does anyone have any idea where I can look?""
