as someone with OCD if i see another one of those ā€œim so OCD i clean my room once a week! hereā€™s my best friend organizing my colored pencils being so quirky OCD!ā€ or generalizing OCD as neat freak cleanliness im going to flip my shit and hereā€™s why (under the cut)
yes OCD can manifest in obsessive compulsive cleaning behavior but OCD DOES NOT MEAN NEAT FREAK. OCD manifests in so many different ways, and everyoneā€™s experience is different especially if you have co-occurring conditions like depression or anxiety or if youā€™re autistic or have ADHD. people think OCD is just cleaning and being neat and clean but they donā€™t understand the thought processes behind OCD so let me explain it to you. OCD is a condition where someone experiences unwanted obsessive thoughts, and in an effort to ease these thoughts engages in a compulsion. obsessive thoughts are often based in fear and trauma, and the compulsions try to ease the fear, but itā€™s often short term and doesnā€™t work for more than a few seconds.
hereā€™s an example. green equals obsessive thought, red equals compulsion.
im scared that something will happen to my pet when im not near her/in the same room as her, so iā€™ll check on her twice every hour and will pet her five times each time i check on her
(this is actually close to one of my own compulsions btw)
as you can see this is an irrational response to a fear that is irrational if your pet is perfectly healthy and safe. many times OCD fears and compulsions are extremely irrational. it can even be something like ā€œif i donā€™t tap my door handle three times after leaving this room my family will die in a fireā€. itā€™s not fun, itā€™s scary, and weā€™re (usually) aware of how irrational our fears are but the fear is still very real and the compulsions are irresistible. symptoms of OCD also include checking. for me one of my obsessions and compulsions in relation to checking is iā€™ll get the thought of ā€œwhat if i accidentally said something offensive/cussed/said something bad abt my teacher in my college paperā€ and even though i know I didnā€™t do any of that iā€™ll have to check my paper 3 times or more just to make sure I didnā€™t. another example of this is checking to make sure you turned the stove off like 5 times before you leave the house.
OCD can also lead to rumination and thought tunnels. this is prominent in all forms of OCD but is extremely prominent in relationship or friendship OCD. an example of rumination in OCD would be:
ā€œwhat if my response to that text message sounded stupid?ā€
ā€œif i sounded stupid what if they think im stupidā€
ā€œif they think im stupid theyā€™ll leave meā€
ā€œif they leave me I wonā€™t have anyone to talk toā€
and so it goes on and on and on . and not just for a second or two, it can last for hours.
BUT iā€™d like to circle back and say that im not invalidating people with OCD in relation to cleaning. it DOES exist and it IS valid, and cleaning and organization in general can be a big big comfort and regulator for people with OCD. im talking to the people who think itā€™s quirky or fun or on purpose to have cleaning related OCD. compulsions arenā€™t cute, they arenā€™t quirky, theyā€™re scary, and OCD is a disorder. itā€™s not fun. I grew up with a mother with very extreme OCD in relation to cleaning/sanitization and it has taken a huge toll on both of us. I watch her get upset and panicked and burned out because of her organization and sanitation OCD. and i watch myself get into the same cycles because of my OCD, even if our obsessions and compulsions are completely different. itā€™s not something enjoyable.
if youā€™d like to read more about OCD , or the related condition that is OCPD, here are some sources to do that. PLEASE educate yourselves on disorders before posting about them, especially tiktoks that are meant to be comedic. to that one girl on tiktok: itā€™s not funny that you moved all your OCD friendā€™s shit around her room and left her deodorant and toothpaste open in the bathroom! get a life!
anyway. some sources:

Babe you are so incredibly talented. The way you write is sooooooo amazing its like you just know how to manipulate your words into something that will and has had me in tears in like 2 seconds. Don't even get me started on how you write your characters. Like I don't know how I can fully and most genuinely express the astonishment you leave me in all the time.
I believe that you are one of a kind and a treasure to be cherished. I know that doubting is inevitable but I hope that you know that I'm always gonna be in the obsessed with addie corner no matter what.

I missed you too šŸ„ŗ Iā€™ll make sure to send you a little something everyday okay sweetheart? šŸ’–
Iā€™m an ambivert so like I prefer my alone time and I hate talking to new people but once you get me out of my shell good luck getting me to shut up lol
And yeah it was a bit scary at first. Obviously the lead surgeon asked the patient if I could glove in for a learning experience and the patient agreed and it was just a simple surgery. The man shattered his leg so they were putting steal pins in his leg to help the bones heal properly but it was really interesting to see how the pins went in and whatnot. Lowkey makes me want to change my manger to general surgery but idk I feel like itā€™s too late for that šŸ˜«
Iā€™m glad your first days went well, I use to have insomnia but I went to a lot of sleep studies to help with that and itā€™s not as bad anymore, looks like we both gotta help each other sleep šŸ„ŗšŸ’–
My friends tease me saying I have OCD with how organized I am and how I canā€™t function unless I have it scheduled. I mean I do do stuff spontaneously, hell half the time all my trips and vacations are planned only like a week in advance. One time my best friend and I planned a Vegas trips in 3 hours and were on a plane in the next 6 hours showing up in Vegas the same day we planned it šŸ˜‚šŸ˜Ž
Omg We could visit each otherā€™s Islands on animal crossing all the time <3 Iā€™d send you pretty flowers and sea shells. Idk how tall you are but Iā€™m 5ā€6 1/2 ((168 cm)) so like we could cuddle up and if youā€™re smaller than me I could be the big spoon and just hug you to me šŸ„ŗ if youā€™re taller than me Iā€™m still gonna try and be the big spoon unless you wanna be then Iā€™m 100% okay being the little spoon, Iā€™ll just cling to you like a Koalaļæ¼ļæ¼.
We could go shopping for new plants and idk about you but I love window shopping at ikea and just walking around, I absolutely love building things I donā€™t know why but buying a new piece of furniture and then putting it together brings me immense joy. I live in a big city so like everything is within walking distance and my apartment is really high up too so I have a breathtaking view of the city but like just imagine getting ready in the morning and we go downstairs and get coffee or tea and then just walk in the city with our coats on and stocking hats cause itā€™s fall and starting to get chilly and we just window shop and there is this cute little bookstore near where I live so we could stop there ļæ¼and see if they have anything new šŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗ ughhh Iā€™m gonna cry -šŸ’ omg I wrote so much oopsie
i love when u write a lot šŸ„ŗ I usually never really know how to talk/ have a conversation with ppl so I love listening (or reading in our case šŸ˜³)ā€¦. U can go for hours and lines I donā€™t mind, never<3
AND A VEGAS TRIP IM SORRY MAAM- hope u didnā€™t get married thereā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.. Vegas is pretty far away from where I live so Jesus I could never plan something like this in a day lmao (also I donā€™t wanna go ā€¦ā€¦ I prefer nature and all those cheesy stuff, Iā€™m like a grandma or an ā€¦.old fat cat? Just gimme the same food everyday and cuddle and Iā€™m happy)
No bc we should add each other on acnhā€¦ I donā€™t remember if I paid the online for this year but yeah!!! Iā€™ll send u letter and little flower!! I think my native (?) fruit is cherry?? Iā€™m not a big fan but ;( also my town is quite a mess elkdnwnxnsnd itā€™s like a big forest with a tone of trash on the floor bc my pockets are always fullā€¦ā€¦..even in videos games Iā€™m disorganised pls itā€™s a curse
And letā€™s not talk about my houseā€¦..
AND YES YES YES IKEA TRIPS OMG !!!!! Iā€™D BUY THOSE BIG PLUSHIES !! I have the elephant in my bedroomā€¦..I want the big bear and the shark tooā€¦.. theyā€™re too big and make me mad when theyā€™re next to me in bed but theyā€™re soā€¦.big and and and and abs and and and likeā€¦.
And Iā€™m 165!!! (I think itā€™s 5ā€™3? Not sure!!) but I like being the big spoon šŸ˜‹ I cannot fall asleep if I donā€™t hug something- so if itā€™s u itā€™s even better
Weā€™d go outside during a rainy day, wearing stupid yellow raincoats, holding each other hands and chatting about ur weird ass job the whole way to ikea,,, we would buy some stuff for our journal, some small plants, (youā€™d buy me the shark plushā€¦ā€¦..), and weā€™d head to the bookstore to pick a book for the other!! I pick a book for u and u for me!!! We would read it in bed with hot chocolate and annotate it. Once we would be over, we would exchange them and start reading them, and with it, youā€™d see all the little notes and annotations I left <3

IT (1986)
What is it about? The Losers Club, a group of 7 kids that in different ways are outsiders among the other children in the little town of Derry must come back 27 years after defeating their worst fears embodied in a evil alien entity that has preyed on this small Maine town and its recidents since the dawn of time. Thoughts: - I have read this book a gazillion times and itā€™s my favorite Stephen King book of all time (though that may change once I finish this challenge, but only time will tell) everytime I read through its pages is like reuniting with an old dear friend, because most of the characters (read: the Losers Club) are just that for me, I read this book for the first time when I was 15 after growing up with the 90ā€™s miniseries, and I loved it, that feeling hasnā€™t changed with the years and well I want to elaborate a bit on what I love about this book. - Derryā€™s history: One of the reasons this book is so damn big is that it delves on the history of this little town called Derry, of course this is to help the reader understand just for how long and how big is ITā€™s influence on the town, but I just found it so fascinating, Iā€™ve always loved history, and this book just reaaaally fullfiled my needs in that aspect, the townā€™s history is full of gruesome events but itā€™s very intresting and through all the same. -Loserā€™s Club: I love this kids, we are introduced to them little by little through different POVā€™s and god, I just really like the diversity and complexity in them: a kid with a stutter, an asthmatic that is really a kid heavily manipulated by his overprotective mother, an overweight, a jewish with OCD, a girl victim of physical/emotional parental abuse, the class clown that most likely has ADHD, the only black boy in townā€¦ And what I love the most is that they are NOT defined by that, sure,that is how the world sees them but they are so much more than that and together they find their true identities: Stuttering Bill be comes the Leader, Asthmatic Eddie becomes the Compass, Fat Ben becomes the Constructor, Jewish Stan becomes the Logic, Poor Beverly becomes the Shooter, Trashmouth Richie becomes the Weapon (his voces physically hurt IT), Black Mike becomes the Historian. As well as the belonging and friendship they had never had before, their relationship is strong and beautiful, as a reader you will most often find some of yourself in them and even if you donā€™t you love them all the same for their flaws and virtues. -IT: I read somewhere that a story is only as great as its villian and in ITā€™s case that I think is only fitting, thus my love for is evil entity, because IT is really a big represantation of violence not necessarily(The Bradley Gang Shooting was afterall motivated by the Derry townsfolk rightgeousness) but mostly evil, IT transforms into awfull gruesome monsters yet his most terrifying act is the influence it helds on the people inhabiting Derry, on taking the violent nature of some people (Derryā€™s White Decency League, Eddie Corcoran stepfatherā€™s, Alvin Marsh, Butch and Henry Bowersā€¦) and exploit it for its own gain, IT is scary for itā€™s power, for the fact that one can really comprehend itā€™s magitude, and when we finally get to get inside itā€™s head we find something more akin to a beast, hungry and vengeful, he had turned lazy because he already had in Derry a comfortable feeding place and now wants to kill the Loserā€™s Club because for the first time in its long existance IT feels fear! and how wonderful is that? a group of scared isolated kids find strenght in each other to rid their Town and follow kids of this entity, even if they are afraid themselves, and they succeed in frightening a creature that literally feeds of fear. -The portrayal of the timelines and gruesome subjects: The 1950 are not usted only for aesthetics or praised as the ā€œgood old timesā€ King shows a very gritty reality showcasing the racism (very prominent in Mikeā€™s storyline), sexism, homophobia, domestic violence, anti-semitism,and it goes further yet showing that 27 years later these things havenā€™t changed and IT uses them for itā€™s benefit. The book doesnā€™t shy away from any of these things and often it is very hard to read through them but as well I think is important to read them to gain concience,they are not presented as good or romantiziced in any from or way, nor should they ever be (dude the anti-semitism in Patricia Urisā€™s POV is something that will open your eyes in many ways if you are not jewish, and the Black Spot story will horrify you but also help you understand it was not only the South of USA and the KKK that spread hate and horror for PoC people) this things are meant to horrify you thus I feel it would be a disservice not to read them (though I can understand if anyone simply canā€™t). -The bittersweet ending: Really heart breaking that after reuniting with the people they could really be themselves with the Loserā€™s Club are meant to not remember each other ( SPOILERS AHEAD DO NOT READ IF YOU DONā€™T WANNA SPOIL PART OF THE ENDING OF THE BOOK: as a side note and I do not mean this as hate to the ship or anything but a real doubt I have can anyone explain to me why is everyone saying/asuming Ben and Beverly did end up together?, I mean going by the 90ā€™s miniseries sure, but in the book Mike only says she is going to Nebraska with Ben and then back to Chicago with Kay and that he thinks they are/will be having sex, but also later we find that even if they are in the same Town Mike and Bill have begun to forget each other and itā€™s heavily implied the same will happen with them all? and that is a very Stephen King thing to do I mean most of the book couples Iā€™ve read from him have similar bittersweet endings soā€¦ Pls someone explain) I just always about cry about the End and you know the THING that happens with two of the losers. But also I am a ho for this kind of bittersweet stuff so of course I love it. -Richie and Beverlyā€™s friendship: Listen I LIVE for them, of course I just about adore every Loserā€™s friendship (Bill/Eddie, Richie/Stan, Richie/Eddie, Richie/Bill, Mike/Ben, Stan/Bev duuuude everyone is amazing) but this two just about make me crazy about them, tbh I kinda lowkey ship them in a platonic kinda way, and I was endlessly frustrated by the lack of scenes between them in the 90ā€™s miniseries after I read the book cuz booooy, the yo-yo scene is so goddamned amazing, Richie being the first POV in which Bev is mentioned and he reminds her through the lyric of a song, his Humphrey Bogart voice he does when speaking with her, how much he respects her, also Miss Sca'lett!!!, not to mention that sweet ass scene they have in the book ā€œ22/11/63ā€ where Bev is teaching Richie how to swing for a school talent show, ahhhh Imma stop right there cuz I am fangirling waaaay to much and probably y'all think I am wierd for liking such an unpopular thing. -There is just one thing I always felt was completely unecessary to add and was gross to read (you already know what I am talking about and if not Iā€™m not gonna spoil you/gross you out), I have read of course why SK did it but I still think he should have looked for another way to make the Losers enter adulthood : / Movie/TV Adaptations: There are 2: The ABCā€™s 1990 miniseries ā€œITā€ and the 2017 movie by Andy Muschietti ā€œIT (chapter 1)ā€ of course it has been already confirmed there is going to be another movie for the Second part but I will not to go too much into it now. 1990: The opinions on this one are very polarized, some love it with a passion, some hate itā€¦ I actually love it, and by that I do not mean is a perfect adaptation, but it was such an integral part of my childhood and family life that it would be impossible for me to hate it, and I feel most people are terribly unfair with it, because it is not a Bad adaptation like letā€™s say Kubrickā€™s Shining (yaa Iā€™m going there) it had a lot of limitations in budget and technology and still managed to capture some of the best parts of the book (the Loserā€™s friendship mainly, it was beautiful) of course it wasnā€™t gorey or violent but in itā€™s time it was scary as hell, which beings me to Tim Curryā€™s performance as Pennywise that became so iconic people automatically recognize the clownā€™s design, for fuckā€™s sake Pennywise became one of the most iconic monsters of that time and terrorized an entire generation of kids and adults alike, of course it has itā€™s faults (the adultā€™s part wasnā€™t great, tho the scene with Bev in Mrs. Kersh house was great, and the ending was bound to be confusing af to people that didnā€™t read the book) but overall it was a good atempt and it already has a place in pop culture and the hearts of many horror fans. 2017: Oh boy I was really looking forward to this one since they anounced it was going to be a thing (ahhh remember the time Will Poulter and Cary Fukunaga were our only hope?) and just had the chance to see it today, because a lot of awful things happened in my country (I am mexican btw) and yeah, so I left the theater with a very pleasant sensation IT 2017 is a great movie and I LOVED it, the acting was GREAT everyone did amazing, Georgieā€™s death scene was simply amazing and so sad, the projector scene was wow, lots of winks to book readers like the turtle and Eddie Corcoranā€™s missing pamphlet, Bevā€™s bathroom scene, the rock fight!!!,Eddie changing Loser to Lover is iconic, some of Richieā€™s one-liners were amazing, Pennywise dance pfffftt, Ben was adorable with his crush and love of New Kids on the Block, the Losers,ā€œtheyā€™re Gazebos theyā€™re bullshit!ā€ iconic, mainly I feel it captured the general feeling of the book however that does not mean I didnā€™t had some issues with it as well, first thing that bothered me a LOT is the treatment to Mike Hanlon, excuse the fuck out of me but no, they took his thing (history of Derry) and gave it to Ben (also Ben not constructing things like ??? Could have been a perfect chance to have him build lego stuff but k) where is my beautiful spring loving child?? I just couldnā€™t find any single trait on his character apart from the wierd sheep thing and his parents, which takes me to another issue why is every adult on Derry so shitty? Like yeah there was a lot of shady awful stuff in the book but there were also ok people namely Mrs. Starret (the librarian, that is so unnecesarily creppy? Wierd? In the movie), Richieā€™s parents (his dad is hillarious), Mikeā€™s parents they are the best tbh, Mr Keene (ok this one is a sarcastic asshole but he did try to help Eddie instead of letting him keep on believing he was sick to keep selling stuff, and also was never a wierd pervert), Mr. Nell (dude I would have killed to hear Richie doing the Irish Cop voice), the Tracker Brothers (boy Eddie looking longingly at the baseball diamond would have been 10/10, my boy loved sports)ā€¦ thing is the Losers did love Derry and some parts of their childhood in it and thatā€™s were the nostalgia hits on part two, Stan well I loved they delved more onto his jewishness (a thing not much touched in the book because Stanā€™s family is not very strictly religious) but was very side lined as well ( in my opinion that part about Richie being scared shitless and Bill punches him would have fit Stan better, also almost all of the Losers got closure (Bev rebelled against her father, Ben kissed Beverly and she got to find out he was the one who wrote the haiku, Bill got to talk with Georgie kind of?, Mike stepped up against Henry, Eddie confronted his mother,Richie let go of his fear to kill the fucking clownā€¦) yet Stan doesnā€™t I just think it would have been nice to have him iniciate the pact as he did on the book and also his bird book????, the slut shaming and over sexualization of Beverly (I wonā€™t even go into how much it broke my heart to see/hear Richie saying all that stuff about her like no, he respected her a lot thx) just why change the white trash problem to a slut shaming thing???(also while his dad did not beat her in this movie he was so much more GROSS than in the 90ā€™s) I am however not bothered by the ā€˜Kiss of Lifeā€™ trope nor do I think she was reduced to a damsel in distress if anything she was the bravest of them all, also some things not really bothered me but made me wonder what will happen in Chapter 2 namely wft is gonna happen with Henry is he alive?? Same for Bevā€™s dad what happened there? Is he alive? Is he dead? Though of course we will get answers in chapter 2 I was just like wow how is this gonna pan out. Basically an amazing movie I was not disappointed at all and I would love to watch it again but as an adaptation I think I would still love to see a longish miniseries covering more of Derryā€™s history and the kidā€™s personalities/misadventures (of course I do not want THAT scene to be in any adaptation ever) but generally covering more book stuff. but hey all this is just my humble opinion and I admit I adore the book, though I am not closed off to changes just those things kinda made me go hmmmmmmā€¦. Quotes: Stan: ā€œEvery- thingā€™s a lot tougher when itā€™s for real. Thatā€™s when you choke. When itā€™s for real.ā€ ā€œHe wanted to tell them that those dead boys who had lurched and shambled their way down the spiral staircase had done something worse than frighten him: they had offended him.ā€ Bill: ā€œIf fiction and politics ever really do become interchangeable, Iā€™m going to kill myself, because I wonā€™t know what else to do. You see, politics always change. Stories never doā€ ā€œSilver flew and Stuttering Bill Denbrough flew with him; their gantry-like shadow fled behind them. They raced down Up-Mile Hill together; the playing cards roared. Billā€™s feet found the pedals again and he began to pump, wanting to go even faster, wanting to reach some hypothetical speed ā€” not of sound but of memory ā€” and crash through the pain barrier.ā€ Richie:ā€œNow he had to go back to being himself, and that was hard ā€” it got harder to do that every year. It was easier to be brave when you were someone else.ā€ ā€œHe knew a great deal of the Bible already, and he knew the Bible believed in all sorts of weird stuff. According to the Bible, God Himself was at least one-third Ghost, and that was just the beginning. You could tell the Bible believed in demons, because Jesus threw a bunch of them out of this guy. Real chuckalicious ones, too. When Jesus asked the guy who had them what his name was, the demons answered and told Him to go join the Foreign Legion. Or something like thatā€ (#make chuckalicious happen 2k17) Ben: ā€œMaybe thatā€™s why God made us kids first and built us close to the ground, because He knows you got to fall down a lot and bleed a lot before you learn that one simple lesson. You pay for what you get, you own what you pay for ā€¦ and sooner or later whatever you own comes back home to you.ā€ ā€œA child blind from birth doesnā€™t even know heā€™s blind until someone tells him. Even then he has only the most academic idea of what blindness is; only the formerly sighted have a real grip on the thing. Ben Hanscom had no sense of being lonely because he had never been anything but. If the condition had been new, or more localized, he might have understood, but loneliness both encompassed his life and overreached it. It simply was.ā€ Eddie: ā€œSometimes home is where the heart is, Eddie thought randomly, I believe that. Old Bobby Frost said homeā€™s the place where, when you go there they have to take you in. Unfortunately, itā€™s also the place where, once youā€™re in there, they donā€™t ever want to let you out.ā€ ā€œMaybe, he thought, there arenā€™t any such things as good friends or bad friends - maybe there are just friends, people who stand by you when youā€™re hurt and who help you feel not so lonely. Maybe theyā€™re always worth being scared for, and hoping for, and living for. Maybe worth dying for too, if thatā€™s what has to be. No good friends. No bad friends. Only people you want, need to be with; people who build their houses in your heart.ā€ Mike: ā€œHaunted, haunting, haunt.Often visited by ghosts or spirits, as in the pipes under the sink; to appear or recur often, as every twenty-five, twenty-six, or twenty-seven years; a feeding place for animals, as in the cases of George Denbrough, Adrian Mellon, Betty Ripsom, the Albrecht girl, the Johnson boy.A feeding place for animals. Yes, thatā€™s the one that haunts me.ā€ ā€œBut Mike enjoyed most of the places in Derry his father sent or took him to, and by the time Mike was ten Will had succeeded in conveying his own interest in the layers of Derryā€™s history to his son. Sometimes, as when he had been trailing his fingers over the slightly pebbled surface of the stand in which the Memorial Park birdbath was set, or when he had squatted down to look more closely at the trolley tracks which grooved Mont Street in the Old Cape, he would be struck by a profound sense of time ā€¦ time as something real, as something that had unseen weightā€ Bev: ā€œoh shapes of men, sometimes seen as day closed down, sometimes seen across Watertower Square in the noonlight of a clear windy autumn day, shapes of men, rules of men, desires of men: or Tom, so like her father when he took off his shirt and stood slightly slumped in front of the bathroom mirror to shave. Shapes of men.ā€ ā€˜Is it because Iā€™m a girl?ā€™[ā€¦] she exploded.ā€˜Well, fuck you!ā€™ She whirled around to look at the others, and they flinched from her gaze,so hot it was nearly radioactive. 'Fuck all of you if you think the same thing!ā€™ She turned back to Bill and began to talk fast, rapping him with words. 'This is something more than some diddlyshit kidā€™s game like tag or guns or hide-and-go-seek, and you know it, Bill. Weā€™re supposed to do this. Thatā€™s part of it. And youā€™re not going to cut me out just because Iā€™m a girl.ā€œ Adding this one cuz I love how stupidly cute it is and cuz that Richie is such a charmer XD (wot-wot?) ā€[ā€¦]'Oh dear, am I being asked out on a date?ā€™ For a moment Richie was uncharacteristically flustered. He actually felt a blush rising in his cheeks. He had made the offer in a perfectly natural way, just as he had made it to Ben ā€¦ except hadnā€™t he said something to Ben about owesies? Yes. But he hadnā€™t said anything about owesies to Beverly. Richie suddenly felt a bit weird. He had dropped his eyes, retreating from her amused glance, and realized now that her skirt had ridden up a bit when she shifted forward to drop the ice-cream cone in the litter barrel, and he could see her knees. He raised his eyes but that was no help; now he was looking at the beginning swells of her bosoms. Richie, as he usually did in such moments of confusion, took refuge in absurdity. 'Yes! A date!ā€™ he screamed, throwing himself on his knees before her and holding his clasped hands up. 'Please come! Please come! I shall ruddy kill meself if you say no, ay-wot? Wot-wot?ā€™ 'Oh, Richie, youā€™re such a fuzzbrain,ā€™ she said, giggling again ā€¦ but werenā€™t her cheeks also a trifle flushed? If so, it made her look prettier than ever.
