In the women’s event, Iga Swiatek, the defending champion, starts Monday against Rebecca Peterson of Sweden.

An injured Andy Murray will start his campaign against world number 71 Corentin Moutet after landing in Carlos Alcaraz’s fourth infield.

How to watch the US Open on TV in the US

ESPN has the broadcast rights to broadcast the tournament.

Complete male draw

An injured Andy Murray will start his campaign against world number 71 Corentin Moutet after landing in Carlos Alcaraz’s fourth infield.

Murray has been on a run to fitness in New York, after withdrawing from his Cincinnati Open round of 16 match against Jannik Sinner in Toronto last week due to an abdominal strain, just the seventh loss of his long career. . He too later withdrew from Cincinnati in an attempt to recover in time for the final major of the year.

I fully understand the situation and how it looks but sometimes we don't have other choice 😭 (I'm also taking 3 days off this week after working pretty much non-stop for 2 years)

In my case I work as an English/Spanish interpreter over the phone. I get paid 4dls the hour (6 hours shift/ 5 days a week) I used to work an 8 hour shift. There was a decrease in the amount of calls we receive so I was asked to change my schedule and hours on the line.

Still I can do Overtime (something I couldn't do in the prior agency where I was working) but I have to disconnect if I don't receive calls within 15 minutes on the line.

Every 30 days of work I have 1 paid day off (that didn't existed on my prior agency). When I started working in this new company, they had two choices: you take the day off or we pay the day (kinda like a bonus) so I started to accumulate them unless I needed to run an errand (like trying to get my health care up and running). There was a week where I couldn't work due to a massive power outage (4 days without power in the worst week of Summer 🙄) so I was like "ok, I'll ask them to pay me those days off so I won't lose money if I can't recover those missing hours". They changed that politic, they no longer pay for those days off (reason why I decided to start using them) so I had to work against the clock to have my full month pay.

In addition to all of it. If you work more than 47 hrs a week, the rest of the hours are worth 25% more. It was easier to achieve when I worked 8 hours (if I worked every day with 2 hours of OT I had 3 hours -a misery, I know- that were slightly better paid). Now OT is limited to only 2 hours - between 5PM and 7PM central time- (with the prior exception) so I can only work 8 hours if I'm lucky (I work from 10AM to 4PM).

I'm the sole bread winner of my family in a country that has a very sh'tty economy. Even if I hate my job I have to suck it up and try to work as much as possible because every cent counts. I am looking for other posibilities and I've sent my resume to multiple places, but nobody answers 😔

Remote work is great because I can work for USA companies and get paid in dollars... but, at the same time it allows a new form of slavery because there isn't a International Regulation that could protect us.

USA companies take advantage of this because if their worker is based in USA they are forced to pay at least the minimum wage... they are not obligated to do it with workers overseas. We are cheaper and cannot ask for other stuff like health care or workers comp or even unemployment/retire funds.

Still, there is a chance that some companies don't know that they have people working for them that are outside the US. I can say that because the whole how I got hired is kinda shady.

With my first agency (based in Mexico) I got hired after 2 tests (for Social and Medical calls) that were rather simple. I did the training (basically how to behave in a Call Center, absolutely nothing about Interpretation), they checked my PC remotely and I was ready for the line. Still, let's say that the agency was named A... the portal had the name B on it. And if you check B's website, you'll see that nobody can work for them unless they have all kind of certifications and actually studied Interpretation as a career. Their interpreters got paid about 15dls/hr (in 2021) and I was getting 3,50/hr (I assume that B pays A the full amount or even more and the CEO, managers and supervisors take "small" bites out of our pay. Something that also happens in the agency where I work now).

So maybe this agencies present themselves as cheap options that the larger companies see as a good investment and then we have to lie for them:

- We cannot say where we are located and if we are forced to do it we have to choose a random state and change the subject.

- When I had court calls the Judge would ask me if I was certified to interpret in their state (I had calls from Alaska, Washington and Connecticut most of the times) and I had to say that I was... under oath 🤦🏻‍♀️

- Technically my current agency did certified me on HIPPA and other stuff... but through a learning platform called Wizer. I don't know how valid those certificates are.

Anyway... that's our life...overworked and underpaid.

Dear Mr Gaiman,

I have not taken a single day off work for over two years. I have worked 7 days a week, 24-hour availability for the whole time. I have requested off on the 28th to enjoy the re-watching of Good Omens S2. This is the first thing I’m doing for myself in years, and I thank you.

My question is: How long are all the episodes? It’s released at 8 PM EST, so how long will I need to be awake to watch the whole series the first night? I need to know these things.

Just budgeting my time and caffeine — not looking for spoilers! I hope you know how happy you make your fellow humans. You’re an amazing person. Anyway, thank you!

Cheers,

Ms. A. Tombée

Until about 1 am.

Made Marion Big News Bulletin!

Don't TL:DR this one, folks!

So Much Big News!

Why are there party sparkles on our logo today? Because we've got a ton of cool stuff coming up at the end of March. Here we go!

We have been selected as a participant in the The Storyteller's Festival on Steam from March 25-April 1! There are a lot of super cool-looking games featured in this festival (both visual novels and other kinds of narrative-focused games), and we're proud to be part of it all. We're taking this opportunity to do some major stuff for the project!

The Enhanced Demo & Enhanced Demo Beta

We will be releasing our enhanced demo for the festival. What's different from our current demo? Tons, including our all-new Sherwood Chapter 2 content! This will make the entirety of our two common routes available to play for free (but we're still keeping the prologue a secret that only our beta players will experience before release).

New sprites

Ambient sound

Additional backgrounds

Cut-ins and animations

Accessibility options like text resizing and the ability to disable different kinds of animations

Some preview CGs (Nottingham side - final CGs for both sides added later)

All-new Sherwood Chapter 2!

We'll be holding a brief beta test before the demo goes live. It should start sometime between March 15-20. Beta backers, keep an eye on your inboxes!

Storyteller's Festival Stream

I will be joining fellow Canadian and awesome streamer OhThatNatalie to stream Sherwood Chapter 2 and have a casual interview during the festival. We are scheduled for 4pm Pacific time on March 26, and I'll be posting links to the stream on our socials!

Pre-Orders Opening!

We will also be opening pre-orders on Steam and itch.io. The pre-order price will be 10% off the final price. The base release price will be $30 USD (so pre-order is 10% off that). It will be set manually on itch and will use Steam's automagic regional pricing, so non-US customers can feel free to compare and see who nets you a better deal - I don't mind!

Tell your friends, tell your family, heck, be like my dad and tell your model railroad club! Links incoming (I will need to make a new itch.io page for the final game and its pre-orders) in the March Development Update.

Early Access Is a Go!

After running polls on our Discord (nearly all Kickstarter backers) and Tumblr (our general fan community), there was plenty of interest in an early access release - 75% of our Tumblr voters, in fact. That means that all backers and pre-order customers will have access to our Early Access builds. The first one will feature the completed Sherwood paths: Robin, John, and Will. We are aiming for an October Early Access release, more on that in the coming months!

March Development Update Timing

I will be delaying our March development update to March 24. That way I can post all the relevant links to this good stuff when it's released! See you then!

- i make 50c more than the associates as an asm but have 2-3x the amount of work to do

- the scheduling is so bad it takes me anywhere between 25-40 minutes to get to work and sometimes im scheduled for 2 or 3 hour shifts and gas and groceries are very expensive this far rural and north in california (so im driving ~1 hour in total to make like $30-40 which doesn't even cover a full tank of gas for my car and if im doing this often I have to fill up more often. my avg paycheck is about ~650 and 50 of that has to go to gas)

- our district manager does not do her job (shes borderline if not outright on a pip. when our manager quit with a 2w notice instead of the 4w shes supposed to give the dm couldn't even bother to drive down here for the required exit interview)

- everyone in the store but the other asm who's currently acting as the gm has only been here since may (and she started in january)

- other asm is overrun with work but also hasn't been delegating work appropriately or making appropriate decisions (she was given bad direction by the dm to not start the whole store set a day or two early despite the fact that no one has done one before. in my opinion she should have ignored that direction and started early anyways since the store is STILL catching up days later)

- improper training and direction has been given to other staff (an inventory shipment was skipped because a new asm doesnt know how to disengage well with a customer and the ups guy was upset because he CANT sit out there and wait all day. same small group proceeded to prioritize tasks in the wrong order leaving us go backs, cleaning, and processing online orders Very Late. steam rack had the wrong stuff on it on the wrong hangers leading to extra work for me)

- ive been reprimanded for stupid shit and I had to explicitly say that because the old gm that trained me was mentally and emotionally on her way out (for good reason!) that if there's something im not doing every shift its because I dont know what it is or how to do it (I was then asked what I didnt know so we could go over it and it took everything in me to not reply saying that thats a stupid fucking question)

- we have 2 backup keyholders that can open and close the store if needed while the gaps in our staff get filled and they dont know all of what they're supposed to do as an opener or closer aside from what to do with the tills (i had to spend my afternoon finishing the signage that I couldn't finish the night before because I was so backed up instead of getting ahead on tasks that need to be done for the day. I also had to do the online orders because they hadn't been checked at all that day and it was 4pm)

- I found it interesting that one of the keyholders and one of the new asms (who hasn't even been here a full 2 weeks) were scheduled to do the morning meetings despite the difference in position and length of time in store compared to me (this feels very purposeful to me since i mess up on random things because I was simply never told about them)

- a new asm was hired (were supposed to have about 4 or 5 to open and close the store for some reason) and I only found out because she called the store clarifying something i didnt know about because I didnt know she existed

- if were fully staffed I only have about 15-20 hours a week which is genuinely insane for that position. and currently despite the fact that were understaffed, instead of dispursing the hours more temporarily they won't let pt employees (which is everyone except the 1st asm whos in charge) go over 30h so they decided to have us close an hour early everyday (also the dm didnt notify the mall security so the manager stopped by the store to ask about it) and open late and close early on Sundays. confusing the customers.

- a company policy doesn't allow for us to let the customers in store know that we need to close up soon so we're regularly leaving late and going over hours and leaving cleaning and misc duties that can only be done when no customers are in the store incomplete (were concerned about getting in trouble with the dm and rm about it)

- we have 2 employees that only work 1 day a week so if there's a call out earlier in the week there are very few options for coverage because again, we're not allowed to go over 30h as pt employees

- because of the amount of work the management has to do and the lack of hours, at least in our store, its common to work through your lunch (clocked out) or after hours (also clocked out). I refuse to do this (unless its just me and an associate and they have a question or need approval from me. in which ill just take my extra few minutes missed while clocked in) and I can see it being an issue when it shouldn't be which is insane

anyways i want to TRY and stick it out until I have another job lined up because finding this one was difficult but my bf basically was like hey it's really not worth the stress especially since it probably won't get better so we'll see after whatever conversation I have with the 1asm this week/weekend

ive been working at this store for i shit you not less than a month and shit is actually about to hit the fan during our monthly meeting sunday and i and the other manager i was talking with have NO idea how the next two months are going to go

Pre-Event plannings

I had a grand plan, to be lawfully wedded to my bby on our 10th anniversary, 1 year after proposing to her on our 9th, in Jeju, in front of a field of flowers with a fantastical view of the sparkling sea. I even rushed and got the engagement ring ready before our planned trip to Korea in April! But alas, covid-19 had to happen and all was foiled. After the initial plan was foiled in Apr’20, we held out hope that we would still be able to travel by the year end.. but yeah covid gave us a great big middle finger, as yet again, cases skyrocketed and we were all but grounded in sunny Singapore.

Finally, in Dec’20, I decided to propose before July’21! Since the ring and the JannPaul box has been hiding at the back of the closet for the past year, and i didnt want to put it off any longer.

i began to scout for and collate decor items bit by bit on carousell, shopee and other shopping sites. It was a painful process because my initial plan was to recreate “Venezia”, which was an ice cream cafe we went to at Sixth Avenue, back in our JC days before it bowed out of Singapore a few years ago. There was next to no mention of Venezia on google and I was also unable to find any useful logos of the establishment either! So that idea was scrapped. Next, there was the plan to create big cut-outs of either Monsta X or VIXX members who would seem ‘genuinely happy for the proposal’.. but once again, let down by google, as the images I managed to find were either too pixelated or not relevant enough. Sadly, that idea flopped too. In the end, I decided to go for a more normal but personal decor to surprise bby :)

Truthfully, there were many chances to surprise-propose bby, especially our most recent staycation at Park Royal Marina Bay, but I didn’t feel that I was ready to do it.. so I delayed it till our big dinner on July 10th. Why July 10th? SAF had the brilliant idea to schedule my ICT during our actual 10th anniversary date, so we decided that we would have our anniversary dinner earlier. Furthermore, after Gyu Bar, we decided that we could and wanted to try more fine dining. After much research and deliberation (between Whitegrass and Buona Terra), we finally went for Whitegrass, which had decidedly nicer deco and ambiance.

The weekend before the 10th, bby suddenly suggested that after our big dinner, maybe we should go for a drive. This gave me a great idea - if i drove, this meant that she would have to come stay over, and then I would definitely be able to surprise-propose to her! I very easily agreed with her suggestion and went for a slightly higher-end car, an Audi. Thankfully, this rental was not far from my place and the rental wasn’t that much higher than the Honda Fit before. So far, all was going to plan. Then, we also decided that since we would be getting a car, we could travel slightly further out, eg. the East. We decided to go to Playground Ragdolls, which would be our first interactions with our dream pet for our new house!

I ordered a huge preserved flower bouquet beforehand as well as a tiny flower-box, to be delivered on the July 9th, which was also my mum’s birthday. She requested to have chilli crabs for dinner, which my bro bought from Jumbo seafood. We had a scrumptious dinner that night, but extremely regrefully, I couldn’t invite bby to come over, because it would mean that she would see all the flowers and thus ruin the entire event.

On the day itself

On the 10th, coincidentally, I had to take up a mover role, to help my bro move some of his guo-da-li stuff to his fiancee’s place in Pasir Ris in the morning. It was a very simple job that took up the bulk of my Saturday morning. After lunch, he sent me back and I quickly completed the deco and freshened up before leaving at 4pm to collect the car.

Leaving at 4pm was an overestimation of the travelling time, but also to prevent any lateness. I reached the rental car location at about 445pm but could not find the car at all. Confused, i called the host and she was quite pekcek to inform me that I was 15 mins early.. i went ‘oops’ and apologised for my kiasu-ness. At least she wasn’t overly judgey about it. I took over the car and quickly got on my way to Lakeside. Along the way, the aircon vent handphone holder kept dropping everytime I made my way over a particularly high bump as the Audi aircon vent was different from the normal aircon vents i was used to, with horizontal panes. Other than the handphone holder dropping from time to time, the drive to Jurong was pretty smooth.

I picked bby up at about 5pm and she surprised me with another street branded shirt, endorsed by Hyungwon of Monsta X. She even gifted me with a picture of him wearing the exact same shirt! I gifted her with the small flower-box and inwardly laughed as she whined about receiving another flower.. inside i was like ‘lol, wait till you get the one at night’. We drove off from Jurong to City Hall, which was supposed to get us to Chijmes in 25 mins?

Oops, we will be so early! But in the end we spent more than 35 mins on the road, because google maps was being a bitch and not giving the correct directions and we had to circle round Chijmes twice because we couldn’t enter the place! Finally, we decided to follow the signs strictly and we managed to enter the Chijmes carpark at last. We wandered around Chijmes for awhile and took some pictures. I helped her take some pictures that she was actually satisfied with!!!! SDNJIADBNAIKFAUFAKLFDNA!!!

After inwardly celebrating alone, we entered Whitegrass. Overall, the food was nothing to brag about, though the service was very good. Like what bby has said, the best things about the meal were the breads and the specially made financier by the Japanese Chef. The Chef came out to greet us and even wished us a happy anniversary followed by a picture of us hehe.

Full af, we decided to drive to Sentosa cove to sneak a peek at the rich people but nope, not allowed to ba long long go in, so we rerouted to Palawan beach instead. well well well, no entry into the beach. hur. oh well, time to head home. Inside my mind was running in all directions, almost 1.5y in the making, it’s finally gona be time!!

We reached and parked in less than 30 mins and quickly made our way back home.. only upon reaching my doorstep that i realised i left my keys in the flower-box inside the car.. luckily my dad was still awake to open the door for us.

Once in, we discovered my room door was closed and i let her enter first. Once she sweeped her eyes around the room, i panicked a little and just grabbed the ring and knelt down. I was entirely FLUSTERED and my mind was blanked out. haha, i lost all sequence of events. i knelt at an awkward angle and i wanted to switch knees, at which point, bby looked down and saw me kneeling on both knees (facepalm ttm). but okay, eventually it got sorted out and we took some pictures, with creative advice from my fiancee (^^). i also told her the entire journey from the ring all the way to present time, honestly, without hiding anything. Tbh, i wanted to make it hella grand but I missed out on some deco and by the time i discovered, it was too late to order again. UGHHH. When we went off to bathe, it was already about 1am and we had an early morning ahead. We both went to sleep happy hehe. (i got myself a ring catto)

Ragdolls all day, err’ day

I woke up next to bby catto who suddenly wrapped me up in the blankets and took a picture of me -.-

anyways, after a quick breakfast, i wore bby’s present and went out. We went some place first, before heading to La Fez in the East. It was a Morrocan restaurant which had a very pink and cutesy exterior. The food was not bad as well, the bby ordered Shakshuka while I ordered the Lamb Shwarma. Not entirely filling but good enough for me!

Next we set off for Playground Ragdolls.. but i think i missed a turn somewhere so we just parked at a nearby carpark instead. We wanted to walk to Tigerlily Pattiserie but changed our minds to head to Birds of Paradise nearby instead, since bby has been wanting to eat it. and hohoho, dark skies ahead started to thunder and shortly after rain poured down. We didn’t bring umbrella and neither were there any umbrella in the rental car.. so we decided to brave the rain. The initial rain was pretty manageable, a slightly heavy drizzle but manageable. The moment we were halfway to the next shelter however, it poured. and poured. and poured. Needless to say, we were both drenched.. and bby was wearing her Tory Burch too... nevertheless, we persevered and reached Birds of Paradise and got our ice cream too! (along the way we passed a mama shop and bought a $6 umbrella) We got roasted sesame and sea salt hojicha. Tbh, both were good but as we were practically wolfing the ice cream down and the quantity was really alot, the ice cream became pretty jelat after awhile. For the first time in a long long while, we threw away ice cream. Yes, bby was pretty horrible for throwing away ice cream, especially when she was the one who proclaimed she loved it.

With our new umbrella, we eventually made our way back the way we came, dry this time, towards Playground Ragdolls! Since we were pretty early, we waited outside for a short while, before the host let us in. and wow, once in, we were greeted by 2 curious little Singapuras. At first glance, they looked like regular strays but on a closer look, they had a kind of refined quality that really separated them from typical strays. And then as the host continued her briefing, our eyes strayed to the ragdolls. OMGGGG all so floof and cute!! Bby and I settled down near the couch and started playing with an 8 month old female kitto. and omg she was so playful!! Immediate want! While playing, we didn’t forget to enquire more about the purchase process and also listened in on the other customers’ queries as well. 1 hour passed all too quickly, and it came time to bid farewell to the cattoes.

On the way back to the car, bby remarked that she was a little peckish, so we decided to head to a drive-thru at marine parade.. but once there, no drive-thru to be seen!!! We stopped at the passenger waiting area for awhile to research but to no avail. Eventually we gave up and I drove her back to her house.

At her block, I helped to carry all the barang barang back up and I remarked to her that I was going to call her parents ‘Mother’ and ‘Father’ to hint them that I proposed. And I did, but apparently, only her mum caught it. Her dad didn’t, sadly. Unfortunately, I needed to rush back to return the car, so i couldn’t stay to explain further (Sorry Father, i will explain the next time i’m there!)

Anyways, I drove back to return the car and swiftly parked. The owner ‘received’ back the car without much incident also. Aaaaand that concludes mine and bby’s eventful weekend, in which we both had our relationship statuses changed from boyfriend-girlfriend to fiance-fiancee ^^.

Honestly, I do regret not getting actual flowers for you back in 2011.. but lol, the virtual flowers confession did make our relationship more interesting though haha. Yet another interesting tale that we can tell our kids next time also. I feel so happy as I recount the entire experience and am so glad that it succeeded. This sat, we will be going to re-size the engagement ring so that bby will wear the ring for events soon!! can’t wait!!

5, 4, 3, 2, 1! (Luke Hemmings One Shot)

Summary: Told from an unnamed, female-presenting character's perspective. Luke and the reader confess that they have feelings for one another at the New Year's Eve party she hosts.

3.3k~ words • Fluff

***********************

I was frantically mixing my cake batter together when I heard my doorbell ring. I wasn't expecting Michael to turn up until 4pm. So either he was uncharacteristically early or I was running further behind schedule than I thought. I glanced at my watch as I trotted from the kitchen to the front door. It was 4:07pm. I could feel the stress and panic expand in my body. I was stressed enough when I thought I was just 20 minutes behind schedule. I was actually running over an hour behind. I knew hitting snooze would be a mistake.

"Hey!" Michael greeted me with his usual Labrador level of cheer when I flung the door open.

"I'm so glad you're here," I confessed, the words tumbling out of my mouth as fast as I could form them, "I'm running so, so far behind schedule."

"Chill; it's fine." Michael chuckled while pulling me into a friendly hug, "I'm here to help set up, so we'll make up time."

"You're stealing precious seconds," I mumbled into the front of his shoulder as I tried to end the hug, "I needed my cake in the oven 15 minutes ago. It won't have cooled enough to ice properly before people arrive now."

Micheal unwrapped his arms from around my torso to let me run back to my cake batter in the kitchen. He followed behind with an amused smile and calm energy.

"What can I do to help stop you freaking out? Decorate? Set up the bar? Pour snacks into bowls?" Michael asked as I searched a cupboard for a cake tin.

"AH-HA!" I exclaimed, grabbing a cupcake tray and grinning manically, "Cupcakes don't take as long to bake! We've got 15 minutes back!"

"Shit, I didn't realise you were stressed to the point of deranged." Michael half-joked.

"Shut up and prep the bar." I ordered while starting to spoon batter into paper cases, "Please!" I added as an afterthought behind him.

Just as I'd put the cupcakes in the oven and set a timer, Michael reappeared in the kitchen.

"Right, the bar is all set. I've also put anything that look potentially breakable in the nearest cupboard or drawer." He informed me, "Also Luke texted me, so I talked him into coming over to help too."

"You are a life saver, Cliffo." I smiled, now feeling a bit more relaxed.

The two of us then went about checking off various tasks to get my house party-ready. About 25 minutes in my doorbell rang.

"That'll be Luke!" I called out to Michael as I made why way to the door, "Heya! Come on in." I greeted Luke as I pulled the door open.

Luke walked through the door, his duffle bag hung off his shoulder, and smiled down at me,

"Everything going okay? You look more flustered than Mike let on."

"I'm great. I'm great." I assured him, "We've made up some time and now we've got you too. So it's fine. I'm fine."

"Whatever you say," he chuckled, "Let me go dump my bag in your room so I can get changed later and then I'll be your devoted servant ready to follow orders."

"I'm going to need to head off," Michael announced after checking the time of his phone, "It's nearly 6 and I've gotta go walk to dogs, eat and get ready. I'll see you guys at 8."

"See ya in a bit!" Luke called after us as I walked with Michael to the door.

"Thanks so much for helping, Cliffo." I said as I hugged him goodbye, "The place looks great and I feel a lot more relaxed now. See you later."

I waved him off down the front path. Once he reached the gate I closed the door and headed back to the lounge.

"So what's left to do?" Luke asked when I re-entered the room.

"We're going to the kitchen to ice those cupcakes. And after that it'll just be a case of getting ready ourselves." I smiled at him gratefully, "We should even have time to start pre-drinking now that we've regained some time. Thanks for your help."

"No worries," he said returning my smile and then headed to the kitchen, "Now let's get icing."

After such a rushed, blur of a day it was unbelievably calming to methodically ice and embellish cupcakes with a friend I had such a comfortable connection with. It made me imagine the two of us playing out homely scenarios in romantic bliss. But that was an ideal world. In the real world we were just two friends with natural chemistry, so I tried to curb my imagination.

"Are you bothering with any new year's resolutions?" I asked, knowing that conversation would keep my mind from wandering back to its dream world.

"I always break them and only half-heartedly make them in the first place." He responded as he dropped little, silver sugar balls onto the lilac icing I had just swirled onto a cupcake, "Getting in shape is always one; listening to critics less; getting at least one full night of sleep next year would be nice too."

I laughed at his last resolution as I placed a loveheart sweet on another cupcake.

"What about you?" He asked.

"Getting in shape would be one of mine too if I weren't so lazy," I began, "I'm thinking of going vegetarian, so maybe that too. I might start dating too, now that I'm settled in the city, but it's still a bit terrifying."

"Yeah, the dating scene here is rough." Luke responded flatly.

"Well, it looks like we're done here." I chirped as I placed the last of the 20 cupcakes back on the counter. I smiled down at the four rows of cupcakes, with their lilac icing, silver balls and carefully centered loveheart toppings, "We did good! Now let's get ready so we can get drinking!"

Luke followed me into my bedroom, where he had dumped his bag earlier. As he began pulling out the crumpled clothes he had haphazardly stuffed in the bag earlier, I opened my closet door and began picking our various items. In the end I had four potential outfits draped over my left forearm.

"How dressed up are you meant to get for a New Year's Eve party in your own home?" I inquired, not knowing which outfit to go with.

"It's your house and you're the host, so get as dolled up as you want I guess." He answered; his hand hovering between a shirt and a t-shirt he'd laid out on my bed, not sure which one to go with.

"That's not the helpful answer I wanted," I teased before continuing, "What are you wearing then? I'll gauge my outfit off of yours."

"It's currently between this vintage Guns n' Roses tee or the pale yellow shirt. Which d'you think?"

I walked over to my bed for a closer look at his two options. I told him to go with the vintage GnR t-shirt as it went better with his black skinny jeans and wouldn't show alcohol stains as easily as the pastel lemon shirt. He then proceeded to carelessly stuff the shirt back into his duffle bag and switch the t-shirt he had on for the Guns n' Roses one. He was so used to dressing rooms that a quick shirt change in front of someone wasn't a big deal. Nevertheless I still politely attempted to avert my gaze and turn my attention back to my outfit for the night.

Using his outfit as guidance, so I was at least on the same level as someone that night, I opted for my distressed Metallica t-shirt and my favourite leather-look mini skirt. As I wasn't as comfortable getting changed in front of people, especially those I had bottled up feelings for, I told Luke to go and grab the denim jacket I knew he kept in his car.

"It'll complete the look." I told him when he questioned why I was telling him to get a jacket for a house party, "I'll get changed and started on my make-up while you get it. Then we can concoct some cocktails."

Once Luke had left my room I slipped out of my bike shorts and loose v-neck and into my chosen outfit for the night. I looked at myself in the full length mirror attached to the closet door and did a few little half spins to check out how I looked from various angles. I loved the look. I particularly liked the subtle flash of my bright red triangle bra through some of the little holes and tears in the black fabric of my Metallica t-shirt. It gave me an added touch of confidence.

I already had make-up on; but it was just foundation, mascara and the nearest brown eyeshadow I could find to fill in my brows. I pulled my liquid eyeliner pen from my make-up bag and began outlining a wing. Just as I was finishing up my second eye, Luke entered my bedroom again.

"Jesus! You made me jump!" I exclaimed when I first caught a glimpse his reflection behind me in the mirror.

"Sorry," he laughed, "I left the front door ajar while I ran to the car. Didn't want to disturb you and get you all stressed again."

"Aww, well thanks I guess," I said awkwardly while applying my berry red liquid lipstick, "Right, I think I'm done." I announced turning to face Luke who was leant up against my doorframe.

Luke straitened up to standing and unfolded his arms, moving his hands into his pockets.

"You look great," He smiled sweetly down at me, "Really great."

I thanked him as I approached him and linked my arm through his. Arm-in-arm I led him to the bar area Michael had set up at the far end of my lounge.

We were both on our third cocktail, sprawled out on my corner sofa and listening to Nimrod when guests started arriving.

"Ayyyy! Cool Guy Cal!" I greeted Calum at the door, who was shortly followed by Roy, Ash and Sasha.

Michael, Georgie, Joel and Christina were next to arrive. Shortly followed by Rian and Bailey. Then Alex, Lisa and Jack turned up and the guest list was complete.

By 10pm everyone was suitably drunk, my carefully crafted playlist was being appreciated and the party was in full swing. Like all good house parties, the kitchen was nearly as crowded as the lounge.

"Coming through! This lady wants a snack!" I declared as I tipsily weaved through Jack, Ash, Christina, Luke and Georgie to get to the snack bowls.

"Really? Tiny pretzels?" Ash asked with a mischievous grin, "I thought Luke over here would be your first choice snack."

"Aha, you're funny." I said sarcastically. I hoped my cheeks already had an alcohol flush so no one would notice that his sly comment had made me blush.

"No, no, she said she's ready for the dating scene here. So I'm just those bar peanuts that have been left out for a questionable amount of time." Luke jumped in, randomly gesticulating with the cup in his hand.

"Oh shut up; you are not. You know you're just as good as tiny pretzels." I scolded him before turning to Ashton with the cupcake I had just picked up with the loveheart that read 'Bite Me', "This is specially for you, Ash."

"'Bite Me', ooh that cuts deep." Ashton chuckled before taking a bite, "I stand by what I said though." He spoke through his barely chewed mouthful.

I simply rolled my eyes at him and made my way back to the lounge to pour another drink.

I was still at the bar area, sipping my cocktail, while chatting to Alex and Lisa when Acting Like That began to play.

"Oh, oh my god, okay, I'm sorry but you guys are going to need to excuse me a sec." I apologised as I dashed into the middle of the crowd in my lounge, where I hoped to convene with the four 5SOS boys.

None of them disappointed me. Hearing their call to arms (a.k.a. the opening bar of the song) we formed a tight circle of five and went crazy. As we sang passionately and jumped around I noticed where Luke had positioned himself in relation to me and remembered Ash's comment from earlier in the kitchen. I never thought Luke would like me back, but here he was closer to me than anyone else. And what was comparing himself to stale peanuts earlier meant to mean? I shook the thoughts out of my head. It was New Year's Eve, I should be having a great time with my friends, not fixating on the behaviour of one of them.

"Want to grab a refill?" Luke called into my ear as Acting Like That transitioned into Afterglow.

"Sure," I responded while also trying to catch my breath from all the jumping around. I hooked my arm through his, did a little skip-step and headed back to where I'd run off from Alex and Lisa moments ago.

"Too cool to dance to your own song?" I teased Alex when I saw he was still stood by the bar.

He just laughed my comment off as he stepped to the side to let Luke and I access the whole array of bottles and their potent liquids. As Luke was busy pouring mixer into his cup Alex caught my eye, raised his eyebrows dramatically and looked in Luke's direction. I mouthed the words 'don't you start' at him and shot him a warning look. Alex raised his hands, palms facing me to signal defeat and gave a small nod before swivelling on his heel and disappearing into the crowd of my sweaty, drunk friends.

"Sooo, I'm like a pretzel to you?" Luke asked with a sly grin as he looked down at me and placed a cocktail umbrella in my refilled cup. I couldn't tell if he was mocking me or not by bringing that remark up.

"Yet you think you're a stale peanut to me. I'm not having the conversation I think we're about to have if we keep using salty party snacks as an analogy." I chuckled before taking a huge gulp of my drink. I had a feeling I was soon going to need all the liquid confidence I could get.

"Want to go somewhere a bit more private then?" Luke asked leaning down to make sure only I could hear him above the music. Which meant I was also the only one to hear the nervous quiver in his voice. I found his apparent nervousness both sweet and incredibly reassuring, considering my own nerves.

I responded by nodding coyly, suddenly too nervous to even form words. I couldn't believe I was about to have this kind of drunk chat with Luke. I was so scared of having my heart ripped out half an hour before midnight on New Year's Eve. I genuinely couldn't say with confidence which way this was going to go.

Luke took my free hand in his and led me to my bedroom. It was a good call. We'd have no privacy in the garden because of the guests who were smokers, as well as my huge french doors all the non-smokers could watch through. And we couldn't have a drunk bathroom chat, because I only had one bathroom so an impatient line would form within minutes of locking the door.

I shut the door once we were back in my room and pressed my back against it. Luke was stood in the middle of the room, a few steps from the foot of my bed. He had his fingers pressed together so his hands formed a triangular shape which he held up to his face, covering his nose and mouth. He took a breath in and as he released it, his hands slid from his face up into his hair to push his curls back. Then he finally made eye contact with me.

"Look, party food aside, I've got to know how you feel about me." Luke stated, with a hint of pleading in his voice, as he took a few steps closer to me.

"Honestly," I started, "Whoa boy, I am not drunk enough for this. Crap," I took a second and exhaled deeply, "Okay. Luke, despite my best efforts to bottle up my feelings and just see you as a friend's like the others, I can't. I really fucking like you."

"So you do have feelings for me too?" Luke tried to clarify.

"Too?" I queried, meeting his gaze for the first time since admitting my feelings. I wanted clarification as well; I wasn't going to let my heart soar based on a drunk assumption.

"Yes, too. Of course I have feelings for you." Luke admitted, stepping further towards me. He placed a cupped hand on my cheek as I took a step away from the door and closer to him, the distance between us now almost completely gone, "Since you came into my life you've made every day better. How could I not fall for you when you're you?"

My heart now had permission to soar as high as it damn well pleased.

"Knowing you has made me happier too," I beamed.

Luke mirrored my beaming smile upon hearing those words. Then, with his hand still cupped on my cheek, he tilted my face a fraction higher before our eyelids fluttered shut and the gravity between our lips took hold.

It was an incredible kiss. And not just because Luke was a great kisser. It was incredible because, in a strange way, it was such a relief. After all the time spent pinning and denying my feelings, it was such a relief to feel Luke's soft lips on mine and realise what a fool I had been.

After a solid minute of kissing someone cleared their throat behind us. Luke's hand slid from the small of my back to the side of my waist; I loosened the arm I had draped around his neck; and our lips parted as we turned to see who had just announced their presence behind us.

"While I'm sure as shit glad you two are finally hooking up, we've got a countdown to do in a matter of minutes." Alex said before wrangling us out into the garden with everyone else, "I FOUND THEM MAKING OUT!" He declared to everyone as he came out into the garden behind us.

Some people wooped, some people awwed and then there was the almost in-sync "fucking finally" from Michael, Calum and Ashton. Seeing their reactions made me so happy and let me know that whatever this grew into, it was right.

Luke took my hand again, interlocking his fingers with mine, and we walked to the back of where our group of friends had congregated in the garden to view the myriad of fireworks soon to be set off across the city.

"One minute to go!" Christina called.

Luke placed a soft kiss on the top of my head before raising our linked hands over my head so they came to rest on my hip, with his arm wrapped around the back of my waist and my arm around the front of my waist.

"Thirty seconds!" Christina chimed again, "Twenty seconds! ... Eleven!"

Then we all joined in together,

"Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven! Six! Five! Four! Three! Two! One! HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

As our friends cheered the new year in and fireworks began popping in the sky above us, Luke's lips found mine again. It was a brief kiss. Luke pulled his lips away and then pressed his forehead against mine,

"Happy New Year" He whispered in the softest voice.

I grinned up at him,

"Happy New Year, Luke." I whispered back before returning my lips to his.

Homily for St Charles Borromeo with First Communions

Phil 2:12-18; Ps 26; Luke 14:25-33

In 1576-77, plague struck the city of Milan in Italy. And the bishop of Milan at that time was today’s Saint, Charles Borromeo. He has much to teach us today, and his example is still relevant to us particularly at this time. As he ministered to the sick and dying of Milan he told his people: “We have only one life and we should spend it for Jesus Christ and souls, not as we wish, but at the time and in the way God wishes.”

As a bishop, St Charles was attentive to the science of his time, and he accepted that the gathering of people for public worship could be a danger to public health. So, he closed the churches of Milan for up to two years as the city struggled to bring the plague under control. I don’t think the situation is anywhere near as severe in our times, and the medical sciences are more advanced today, but St Charles’s example reminds us that what we are facing – the closure of our churches for public worship – is not historically unprecedented.

But St Charles didn’t simply close the church doors. What he did was to celebrate the Mass outdoors and on street corners so that people could watch from their windows. The practice of not receiving the Eucharist in Holy Communion, and of only making a spiritual communion, was then a common practice for the majority of people. And for many of us at this time, it is a practice that we need to learn anew. St Thomas Aquinas reminds us that before we receive the Eucharist we should be spiritually united to Jesus, we should already love him, desire to receive him, and be trying to live a life pleasing to him. If we do so, in those times when we are prevented from receiving the Sacrament itself, then we are assured that God comes to us, and makes his home in us through charity, through the infusion of his sanctifying grace. Thus Jesus says in St John’s Gospel: “If a man loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.” (Jn 14:23) This is not the fullness of sacramental communion that we may wish for, but the reception of spiritual communion is a practice that the Christians of Milan in St Charles’s time knew well.

However, for six of our children tonight, the fullness of communion, of receiving the Sacrament of the Eucharist is something that they shall enjoy for the first time. They have been preparing for this moment when Christ will come and make his home in them. So as to receive Jesus well, they will have been making a place for him in their souls, first by confessing their sins, and then learning more about the Lord Jesus, and trying to love him more. For the more we love Jesus, the more ready we are to receive him in Holy Communion, to offer hospitality to Jesus, our divine Guest who come to make his home in us. This is why spiritual communion is important, and I believe that the Lord has allowed all of us to undergo this period of Eucharistic fasting again because, all too often, people have received Holy Communion without being truly prepared, without having repented of their sins, and without having due reverence and love for the Eucharist.

Therefore, to facilitate spiritual communion if the Bishops agree to stop public Masses for the next four weeks, then, this church will be open for private prayer, from 4pm – 5pm from Monday – Saturday. On Sunday, the church will be open from 2pm – 3:30pm. During that time, the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed on the altar for adoration. Go to him, speak to the Lord: pray, do penance, and invite the Lord to come into our hearts and to give us his healing and strength. In addition, there will be scheduled confessions from 4-5pm on Saturdays and from 2-3pm on Sundays. And during the week, anyone who needs confession can ask for it. As St Charles said to the people of Milan in 1576, during a time of pandemic they need all the more to pray, repent, and do penance.

St Charles then rallied the priests of his diocese, and he led them in going out to visit the sick and administer the Sacraments to the sick. Hence, I ask that anyone who is in need of a priest to visit them at home or in the hospital because of illness should contact me. My details are all on the parish website: rosaryshrine.co.uk

And just as St Charles called for Masses to be said at stations throughout the city so that people could adore the Blessed Sacrament and watch the Mass from their windows, so I have had a web camera and livestreaming system professionally installed in this church so that, even if we can’t come together for Mass and can’t receive the Sacrament of the Eucharist, we can still watch the Mass live, and be united spiritually. Mass will be livestreamed to our YouTube channel: youtube.com/c/RosaryShrineUK at 6pm (Mon – Sat), and at 12 noon and 4pm on Sundays. Please take note of the YouTube address - there are posters on the doors.

I realise that this is hard, and deeply disappointing, and not at all satisfactory, but, again, it is not historically unprecedented. St Charles Borromeo’s people had to do this for almost 2 years. However, during this coming lockdown, what we can do for our own good and for the common good of our nation and our world is to pray, do penance, and continue to write to the authorities. Let us bear the cross that Jesus asks us to take up in today’s Gospel, and let us be confident that the Lord does not leave us alone. For he always carries the Cross alongside us, leading us to Calvary and beyond to eternal life with him. In all circumstances let us remain united in faith, and ask for the grace of fortitude and patience at this time. For as St Paul says: “Do all that has to be done without complaining or arguing and then you will be innocent and genuine, perfect children of God among a deceitful and underhand brood, and you will shine in the world like bright stars because you are offering it the word of life.” (Phil 2:14-15)

Through our example of hope and faith and of love, as Christians in our country, therefore, let us shine. Let us spend this one life that God has given us to give glory to God. As St Charles said: “spend it for Jesus Christ and souls, not as we wish, but at the time and in the way God wishes.”

May St Charles Borromeo pray for us!

1 - What’s your preferred way of keeping fit? Is it something you make time to do on a regular basis? I don’t do anything.

2 - Do you have fairy lights up anywhere in your home? No, but I put up some Christmas lights in my room last night.

3 - Have you ever raised a puppy? Would you want to or would your prefer to adopt an adult rescued dog? Yes, my doggo was 4 months old when we got her. She still had her baby teeth. That was our first experience raising a puppy and it was quite the experience. They really are like toddlers running around, full of energy and wanting to get into everything. Plus, you have to potty train and teach them. She was a handful and it was kinda rough in the beginning. But there was fun times, too, and lots of cuteness. I liked seeing her grow and progress. Just know that it does take a lot of time and energy.

4 - Have you ever up-cycled any furniture? Did you keep it for yourself or sell it on somewhere? Nope.

5 - Do you recycle? Yeah, we recycle plastic bottles and cans.

6 - When was the last time you were in a vehicle that wasn’t your own? Where were you going and who with? Anytime I’m in a vehicle because I don’t have one of my own since I don’t drive. The last time was with my mom when she took me to my doctor appointment.

7 - Who was the last person to come to your house? Were they an expected visitor? One of my aunts a few months ago.

8 - Who is your last missed call from? Did you ring that person back? It was an unknown number, so no.

9 - If you work, is your job the same everyday, or does it vary depending on what you have on? -

10 - Would you ever be interested in owning your own business? Why or why not? No. I just don’t have any interest or desire to do so. I don’t have any experience or expertise at all regarding running a business either. It’s just not something I’d be interested in doing.

11 - What did you buy the last time you went to the grocery store? I personally haven’t been to any store (in person) since March. I have my usual requests whenever my mom goes; though, such as coffee, coffee creamer, Maruchan pork ramen, and shredded cheese. Very important items haha.

12 - Are you wearing anything that’s your favourite colour right now? No, but I’m wrapped up in my rose gold blanket, which is one of my favorite colors. 13 - When was the last time you cut your nails? I’m constantly picking at/clipping them, soo.

14 - What did you wear the last time you went out of the house? Where were you going and what did you do there? I wore leggings and my long sleeve Disneyland shirt to my doctor appointment.

15 - Do you have your drivers license? If so, did you find it easy or difficult to learn and pass your test? I don’t have my license.

16 - What time would you consider to be a lie-in? Do you sleep in that late very often or would you rather get up early? My sleep schedule has been messed up for years, but this year it’s been especially bad and all over the place. For the longest time I was staying up until like 7 or 8AM and sleeping until anywhere between 2 and 4PM, sometimes almost 5. The last month, however, I fall asleep around like 3AM and get up around like 8AM, sometimes waking up a few times in between. Then I stay in bed for several hours, usually falling back asleep at some point, until like 3 or 4PM. I don’t know, man. It’s super weird. I don’t know how I’m functioning even a little at this point. Gee, I wonder if that plays any part at all as to why I have like no energy ever. It’s taken me like an hour at most to drag myself out of bed and to my Keurig, but now like I said I just stay in bed for hours after waking up. I think the fact that it’s finally cold here plays a part in it cause I just stay wrapped up in my blanket all cozy and it makes me even more tired and the thought of moving and being cold holds me back. The fact that coffee doesn’t even get me out of bed for a long time is crazy, though. Ha, although I have been fortunate in that my mom or brother has often brought me a Starbucks or coffee from somewhere, so that’s been nice. Then I really see no need to get out of bed, though ha.

17 - When was the last time you painted a room in your house? What colour did you pick? Never.

18 - If you have pets, how often do you buy them new treats and toys? We get her treats regularly. As for toys, it’s less often because it’s hard to find toys that she won’t just chew right through and destroy. She has a few that have managed to hold up well, though, that she plays with all the time.

19 - If you had to work a job that required you to do shifts, would you rather work the early, late or night shift? Probably the late shift. Although, it’d be kinda nice to do the morning shift just because it’d get me up and around and doing something and then by late afternoon or evening when I get off I feel like I’ve been productive with my day and can enjoy the rest of my night. Getting up would be the hard part, though :X I don’t know how I did it throughout school for so long.

20 - Is there any job you’d never consider, no matter how desperate you were for money? Yes.

21 - Do you have a favourite type of survey to take? I like ones like this with random questions. I really like ones with interesting questions that allow me to elaborate or vent if needed.

22 - If you’re home alone, would you rather have background noise or are you happy to sit in silence? I don’t like having it ever be completely silent whether I’m home or alone not, but especially if I am. I always have the TV on at least for background noise.

23 - On a typical day, how long do you spend out of the house? Since the pandemic really hit back in March and the lockdown started (and even when it was lifted) I don’t leave the house except for my doctor appointment once a month. Soo, that’s maybe a couple hours out of the house on a busy day at the doctor office or less than hour. Even prior to COVID, I spent most of my time at home. I did at least get out a little more than once a month, though. 24 - Would you rather eat in at a restaurant or grab a takeaway? Get takeout.

25 - When was the last time you went out for a meal somewhere? What did you order and was it good? Back in February. I got breakfast at Denny’s, which was was good.

26 - Do you live in a close-kit community? No.

27 - Do you find that if you drink a lot of caffeine, you need to pee more than normal? Coffee, yes.

28 - How many times a week do you go and visit other people? See the question 23. And again, even before COVID I didn’t visit other people on a regular basis like that. Honestly, I didn’t go to other people’s houses that often, it really just varied.

29 - Who was the last person to add you on Facebook or another social media account? Did you accept? I think it was some random person, in which case I denied the request. Also, it bothers me that this is 29 questions instead of 30.
