Survey #225

“i tried to write your name in the rain, but the rain never came.”

How many times a day do you check your cell to see if you have a text? Considering my dumb phone doesn't let me know I have texts half the time, I do multiple times throughout the day. Ever wonder if the person you hate will become the person you marry? HA HA YOOOOOOOOOOOO SARA AND I DID AND NOW I DEADASS WANNA MARRY HER TOMORROW How many times a day do you wash your hands? It varies. After I use the bathroom or if I'm about to touch food. You walk in on your parents smoking pot, what do you do? lol h u h How old were you when you had your first crush? Hell if I know. I do remember as a young kid though, I was very much "ew boys no thnx." Maybe like... 5th grade? When was the last time you asked God for something? A long, long time ago. Your opinion on smoking: Just don't, dude. It's money going towards gradual suicide. No one likes the smell. You sure won't like how it affects your body. It's an addiction/it's stressful to stop. I'm not gonna like, judge you if you smoke, but nevertheless, I'll tell anyone it's an awful idea. Make love or fuck? It depends on the mood. I was more into the former mood back when that even applied to me, though. Have you ever cried so much over something that later felt like nothing? Oh, I can assure you I have. The last time you were afraid of the dark was: I'm not really scared of the dark, but one time I got up semi-recently in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and after one incident, I was so, so careful and nervous to step on Bentley's tail. He lost his fucking mind on me when I did it once, of course on accident. The TV was off by this point, so I couldn't see well at all. I love having a dog that fucking scares me. How often do you say I love you to your parents and mean it? A whole lot. Your boyfriend/girlfriend say they can’t hang out & it’s been two weeks. You? I mean sure, it sucks, but if they're legitimately busy, they're busy. Have you ever wanted a wild animal for a pet? If yes what animal? I had a phase where I really wanted a fox, and now I am DEAD serious about fostering opossums at some point. When you go to sleep, do you have to have white noise or silence? SILENCE. Though I don't really get /total/ silence 'cuz I have to have my fan on. My room's always hot. Have you ever gotten in a fight with a teacher? No. Ever had a creepy dream about a teacher? No. Where were you when you had your first sleepover? Your house or a friends’? I believe I was at my then-best friend's house. I had suuuuch bad separation anxiety from my mom that I know I was older than most kids who did. What are you limits for doing stuff for money? I'd never do sexual favors or seriously hurt someone for it. Is there someone you are mean to all the time for no reason? No. I'll admit I'm typically rather short with Bentley, but Jesus, do I have reason. When you think of love what’s the first that comes to mind? Sara. How do you calm your mind and find peace when you are stressed? My best bet is going to sleep; that's pretty much, usually, my reset button. Have you ever given someone flowers? I gave Jason flowers once or twice. I gave my mom some for Mother's Day as a kid. How often do you get on Facebook? A couple times a day... mainly just to see memes lmaoooo. What day of the week is usually your busiest day? Good Lord, Tuesdays. I'm at school for 13 hours. Mostly sitting in the library waiting for classes, but. I do study a whole lot, though, and it's when I get a bunch of schoolwork done. Is there a place that you will never return back to? Idk. When was the last time that you created a PowerPoint? I'm actually working on/off one for FYS 'cuz we have to do this "Lifeline" thing where we introduce ourselves and give our stories. Guess who's not fucking ready. Do you like group work? NO. NO. Particularly if it's with people I don't know. Do you have any stickers on your laptop? No. Is music or the TV on while you complete this survey? I'm listening to Chase Holfelder's cover of "Kiss The Girl" rn. Does your grass need cut currently? No. Do you listen to Nirvana? Occasionally. What color are the doors in your house? White. Have your friends ever not wanted you to be with someone? Probably. What is your favorite use for whipped cream? I hate that stuff. What is your favorite flower? Orchids. And your favorite nut? Ew no thanks. Can you curse in a foreign language? Of course I know "fuck" and "shit" in German lmao. Are you fond of spaghetti? Hell yeah man. Have you ever played in the mud? I sure did zoom through it on my bike as a kid. Do you remember what your first real relationship felt like? That relationship ultimately led to PTSD, how could I possibly forget. Who can make you happy no matter what? Sara, Mark, and Game Grumps are particularly good at that. How tall are you? 5'4.5'' Are there any animals near you? No, I'm at school rn. Do have a lot of lists? No. Are you a godparent? No. Do you sleep too much or not enough? Eh, it depends on the day and my mood. Have you ever gone a full day without interacting with another person? Yep. How many relationships have you been in that lasted less than a year? Four. Where were you going the last time you were on a train? Never been on one before. Do you think having a bad temper is a sign of immaturity? I mean, no? It's an interesting question and I guess a "maybe," but. I feel this depends on the trigger. Have you ever been significantly more physically fit than you are now? I was a fucking yoga master babe in 9th grade, fuckin fite me. When growing up, did your parents keep the house very tidy? I guess? It wasn't dirty. How many watches do you own? Zero. Are there any ways in which you greatly differ from everyone else in your family? Political views, I guess? Or the fact I'm bi? I only know of one person in my extended family that's gay. Should teenagers be allowed to have their cell phones with them in class? No shit? Emergencies are a thing? BUT, respect the teacher, please. I cannot stand people using their phone in class, especially here in college. You're paying a shitload to learn. Spend that time as you're supposed to. Take education seriously. If your phone's on vibrate for said emergency situations, that's cool. Do you have any gay relatives? Lol oh. Yeah, Mom has a cousin. Have you ever had to have a pet put down? Yeah. Have you unfollowed, deleted, or blocked anyone on social media recently? I deleted my sister's mother-in-law in fury over her homophobia because I've seriously had it, then just a few days ago actually I went through my Facebook list deleting people I just didn't really feel connected to/didn't really care to follow their journey anymore. How many cups of coffee do you typically drink per day? Zero. Do you know what your vocal range is? It's not broad. I'd say I'm probably in a rank slightly lower than most women. What’s the biggest financial mistake you’ve ever made? I've never really been in the position to be capable of that. I've never had a source of income. If so, what sub-genres of metal do you like the best? Probably heavy. Or symphonic, though I haven't found too many artists in that sub-genre that I really enjoy. But BOY, when I do? I will BINGE that shit to the ends of the earth. Have you ever turned down someone who didn’t handle the rejection well? Ha ha oh man, I remember in 4th grade, this kid Nick was desperate to date me. It was endearing and cute, but he asked kinda obsessively. Then jfc, when I broke up with Tyler, you would've thought I was Jason and he was me, holy shit. How large is your largest scar, and what is it from? Well, I can't see it, so I actually don't know. I guess kinda long, but not wide. It's from a cyst removal surgery. Who was the last person you sincerely thanked? Omg, my Writing teacher. She really liked my writing on my essay. I was so flattered. When was the last time you went for a walk? Like, just a casual walk for the sake of walking? Not since I was at Sara's last. That was when my muscle atrophy was starting to get extremely bad though and I was very close to death omg. Have you ever been in a relationship where there was a large difference in maturity levels? I don't think so. When cooking a meal, do you clean up as you go or wait til you’re done? I don't know how to cook. Do you develop crushes easily? NO. I am soooooo romantically picky. What’s the longest you’ve ever stayed as a guest at someone’s house? A month or more with Colleen after we were evicted. That was a really good time, honestly, regardless of how we feel about each other now. I don't think anyone's done something so selfless for me, and we really did have fun. How bad was your acne when you were a teenager? I'd say it was normal for someone that age. Do you like salsa that has fruit in it? NO. Do you think stained glass windows are pretty? Hell yeah. That was my favorite thing about the church I grew up with; Catholic churches tend to truly have incredible stained glass. Are you scared of snakes? Nope, snakes are Baby. Have you had your wisdom teeth removed? No; I only have two, and I just slightly have enough room for them. Do you like hard or soft pretzels better? I strongly prefer soft. Have you ever been carded when buying something? Yes. Do you eat meat? Regretfully. Can you sleep with the light on? NOOOOOOOOOO. I have to truly be exhausted. Have you ever broken a bone? No, but I did fracture my wrist as a kid. Have you ever made ice cream in chemistry class? Bitch I wish, tf. Do you use the microwave often? Considering a bitch can't cook, yes. Microwavable meals are the reason I am alive. Have you ever painted a room? No. What’s in your copy and paste? This survey. Do you know anyone that’s painfully, socially awkward? Fuckin ME JFC. How do you usually pose in your pictures? With the left side of my face facing the camera (bc my hair kinda swoops over the right side), and I'll usually smile with my teeth or do a :D face bc at least I look happy instead of high with my squinty-ass eyes. :') Do you know anyone that absolutely freaks out if you try to take a picture of them? um????????? me?????????????? Do you pick on them for it and attempt to take loads of pictures anyway? If someone doesn't want me to take a picture of them, I absolutely don't push them 'cuz I totally get it. How’s your posture? Bad. Have you ever had to take care of a fake baby in family ed? Thank God in Heaven no. I. Would. Have. Raged. ^ were you a good mother/father? N/A What’s your favorite way to wear your hair up? My hair is too short for that. But I generally find french braid buns SO pretty. Have you ever read a ‘banned’ book? Uh, I don't think so. What does your screen name mean? Favorite animal, meerkats, + favorite artist, Ozzy Osbourne. Have you ever had to take a sobriety test? N- no wait. They were mandatory when I've gone to the ER for suicidal thoughts. Do you like movies more if they’re based on actual events? It doesn't really matter to me. What’s the dumbest thing you’ve ever done with your cell phone? Idk, dropped it? What’s your opinion on gold diggers? Selfish, or smart? Both? Uh, I don't think it's exactly debatable to call it selfish... I mean, you're dating for the sake of monetary gain...? What would you do if your bf/gf was hitting on someone else right in front of you? I couldn't even try to picture her doing that, but obviously I'd be uncomfortable and jealous. What’s something you’ve done that you’ve sworn you’d never do? Idk, multiple things. Which ex of yours do you talk to the most? I only talk to Girt. Can you recall the first person you ever drank/got drunk/high with? I drank with family, probably, but I've never reached the point of being drunk, and I've never been high. ^ are you still friends? I mean, I love my family. Have you ever taken someone else’s vehicle without permission? No. What were you doing the last time you were videotaped? *shrugs* Is that something you’d be comfortable uploading and sharing? I don't know what it would be. Which friend wears the same size clothes as you do? Probably none? I don't have many friends to compare to. Is there anyone’s wardrobe that you’d like to steal? UM Suzy Hanson is a B A B E? ?? ? ? ??? I adooooorrrrre her clothing line (Psychic Circle), too, and so wanna buy something. Have you ever been lost in the woods? DARLIN I've watched The Blair Witch Project 2 much for that shit. What did you last stretch the truth about? Idk. Have you ever had withdrawals from something? Caffeine, and then WoW for quite a few months after I stopped playing for like, a year or more. Is there anyone on your friend’s list you know next to nothing about? I know at least one of Mom's friends that I've only met once, and briefly. How old is 'too old’ for you to date? I wouldn't date over 30 (I absolutely stg that has nothing to do with H I S age being 30 lmaoooo). How do you feel about guys in tight jeans? Skinny jeans look good on like, anyone. Favorite hour-long show? Uhhh idk. Well, at least out of the shows I used to like and would be most interested in watching, The Good Doctor. Favorite half-hour show? Meerkat Manor. Most people who’ve slept over at your house all at once? My current house? Just one, I think. Steak or chicken? Chicken. I'm piiiiickyyyy w/ steak. Is flirting really cheating? Yes, if you're clearly not just teasing. What’s something you own that’s /only/ of sentimental value? My pebble from my partial hospitalization program. What’s your choice of chips? Girrrrrllll gimme Cool Ranch Doritos. What song would you use to torture someone? i t ' s f r i d a y f r i d a y What is the weirdest compliment you have ever received? Probably that my nose was cute? If someone REALLY fat was upset, and saying how FAT they were, what would you say? First off, NOT say "you're not fat omg ur beautiful." I'M overweight and don't like when people say that. I'm perfectly aware that you're lying "for my own sake," which is sweet, but it's not helpful. Motivate me/the person to improve without being an asshole. Let them know I believe in them, which I do for ANYONE. If I could lose 60-70 pounds in a year, anyone can. What’s the funniest thing you’ve ever heard a kid say? So when I was very little and my mom gave me orange juice, I freaked out because it had pulp in it. And what did I say? "I CAN'T DRINK THAT IT HAS NIPPLES IN IT" look idk don't ask but boy does Mom love sharing that story. A random stranger walks up to you and says 'you’re hot’. You say: Most likely "go away." Possibly "thank you, but please go away." Actually yeah, that's more likely. Like it's flattering to know someone finds you attractive, but yeah, that's just uncomfortable for some stranger to do that. I also wouldn't want to really piss the person off. Do you send messages on Facebook a lot? Definitely not. Almost the only person ever would be Girt. Have you ever gone to a strip club? No. Not my kinda scene. Like I absolutely will not think less of someone who does this, but I just don't like but moreso feel bad for men or women who reduce themselves to their sexual capabilities. Do you like Chinese food over pizza? Hell nah man. Pizza is supreme. What color is your watch? I'm not wearing one. I never do. Do you believe in love at first sight? Absolutely not. Visual attraction, of course that's real, but I promise you dear, you don't love someone upon looking at them. When you eat Frosted Flakes, do you add sugar in it? I hate that stuff. Who’s the biggest hugger you know? Ashley's father-in-law's mom. ... At least I think that's what she is? Do you want to change your name? Nah, it's fine. Have you ever tried to erase someone from your memory? Of course I have.

TGIWednesday and a download for greater peace

TGIWednesday News

Yesterday my fat black cat Dr. Tuna was really acting lovey and was giving me head rubs and happy paws and was licking my shirt incesently. I was like, “Omg, he’s a hunter/murderer/killer what’s gotten into him? Then I realized I had spilled Tuna salad on my shirt! Folks I don’t need to make stuff up, my daily life is a scream! To add to this, my Monday was slammed with a show and solid clients back to back all day until Spirit had other plans and the phone went dead as in, not mine, but the whole cellular network got attacked. So spirit had other plans and I had to reschedule everyone and that’s ok, as my sweet momma Granny Ruth used to say, “I feel a nap coming on.” Today I want you to do something that will ground you, bring you deep inner peace and healing from the inside out.

From the Fish Box

"Hi Jimmy, I had my first session with you today and wanted to let you know that already I am walking better. We worked on clearing the genetic inherited HSP. In the house I'm noticing improved balance and its easier to walk, outside on uneven ground still wanting support from my cane. Also able to walk comfortably in a flat shoe and bare foot, have not been able to do that in a long time. Thanks for your healing work today Jimmy. Many Blessings." - Linda M. / Canada

Nightly prayers include COVID-19. Each night we work on scrambling the frequency for everyone on the prayer list.

get to know me, pick some numbers.

since i wanted @kai-aaah to answer all of them i’m doing them too!!! so have fun reading about me! this is a lot ok and i’m sorry for not using big I’s and stuff i’m lazy i know how to spell i promise !!! enjoy 💞💖

1. selfie

you got 2 bc i love myself and the first is before i dyed my hair pink and i looked soft in it!!! the second is me casually

2. what would you name your future kids? I honestly have no idea, I’ve always sucked at names and when writing short stories i have to look up like “top 1000 american names” and stuff like that. but i really want to name my future puppies nini, rice ball and macklemore :((

3. do you miss anyone? several actually, old friends from middle school I lost contact with, a girl in my class but she’s not a really good person so I’m better without her but I still liked being around her. Then there’s my grandma who’s been gone for a few years now and a friend that took his life this spring.

4. what are you looking forward to? moving away from home and start my life for real. i don’t feel at home or like i’m really alive when i’m at home now and i just want to do my thing! find my own path and so on!

5. is there anyone who can always make you smile? kim jongin :((( when he smiles i smile omg my lil sunshine child i love him

6. is it hard for you to get over someone? i think yeah? bc i often overthink stuff i tend to miss old times and i still am getting over the fact i lost some really great friends along the way.

7. what was your life like last year?

i got close to nico, a girl in my class and it was nice because we clicked so well together as friends and she felt secure and i liked that. i liked to have someone that had the same hobbies and look in life. but she got a bf and honestly just stopped talking to me and it’d take weeks for her to reply and she stopped going to school, leaving me by myself and i hated being alone. so i broke things off with her. i was in a relationship at the time but i was falling out of love but i was so scared of hurting her bc i still liked her, cared for her and i just wanted the best for her and i was not it. and it was not fair to lead her on so i had to break up with her even if i hated it. we’re friends still though so i’m glad.

8. have you ever cried because you were so annoyed? all the time! I cry when I get overwhelmed with any emotion, I cry a lot in general.

9. who did you last see in person? my mom!

10. are you good at hiding your feelings? too good, I don’t think anyone really knows or has ever known how I feel. I’m also a skilled lier thanks to my parents.

11. are you listening to music right now? yeah i always am tbh my mom complains about it

12. what is something you want right now? summer and money

13. how do you feel right now? really stressed, i have a lot of school work to do before they set grades on all of us and i was sick for a week and now i have shot ton of presentations to do and work with i’m not ready.

14. when was the last time someone of the opposite sex hugged you? a month ago???? after meeting up with a guy i hooked up with for a coffee

15. personality description stereotypical aqua without all the drugs i’m a child of god!!!!!!(not at all really) I am the mom friend™, I am a soft little bun and I get scared by literally everything. petty is my middle name and i breathe drama. i want to say i’m pure but with the things i’ve done i’m not allowed into heaven. since my family don’t have that much money i always make sure that i can save as much as possible and i get annoyed when people throw around money and assume i can just do things and ask for money. i like girls and boys(but i still don’t know what’s sexuality i just like soft pretty ppl), like i usually say there’s just too much love in my lil heart!!!! i cry at least twice a week and I wear too big sweaters and shorts that show off half my butt and running shoes. also a lot of caps and chokers.

16. have you ever wanted to tell someone something but you didn’t?

a lot of times because of how i was raised and in the environment i was raised in i have troubles speaking about things like that and i bottle up a lot. a lot of things involve my dad or my mom but i’m scared of hurting my mom.

17. opinion on insecurities. i think my insecurities are affects from my past with anorexia and just society portraying a certain kind of look as an ideal that I can’t reach. like i’m constantly worried about how my body looks and some periods i’m full of confidence and love everything about me and some i consider fixing most things with surgery. i’m also bad at expressing emotions and i blame it on being an aqua!!!! i don’t talk much and i don’t like to voice my feelings. it results in a lot of relationships being a little rocky and it makes me insecure about myself.

18. do you miss how things were a year ago? yes and no. it was good then but so much happened during the summer and autumn that was really messy so no.

19. have you ever been to New York? no and idk if i want to go either really. i don’t see the appeal.

20. what is your favourite song at the moment? 365 so fresh by tripple H

21. age and birthday? 18 ; february 6th

22. description of crush. i don’t have a crush??? i crush on everyone that show me the slightest little spec of affection honestly

23. fear(s) never leaving sweden and ending up living here with my husband, a dog and two kids in a villa somewhere in the outskirts of stockholm and going to the alps to ski and to thailand in the winter (literally what all middle class standard™ swedish families do). other than that i’m scared of ghosts and demons and there’s a specific picture that i get a panic attack from just looking at for a second. i hate loud noises and im scared of zombies, war, death, men, the dark, deep oceans, heights and so on. i have a lot of anxiety over death!!

24. height

5′2 when i put it in the cm to feet translation thing (160cm)

25. role model CL; she is a really strong and successful woman that I’ve looked up to since years back!

26. idol(s) exo ofc!! they together with f(x), 2ne1 and red velvet mean a lot to me and i love them hella !!

27. things i hate men, obviously all things bad that are wrong with our society like dictatorship/war/racism/sexism/homophobia but i don’t feel like listing it all up, my dad, cold and snow/ice, not knowing what’s going on in a situation or while planning something, being taken for granted, loud noises, avocado, being sick bc i can’t do yoga or go out on walks, spiders, my school mates and being stressed all the time.

i love cooking and baking and it makes me happy to be in the kitchen and try out new foods from other countries and throw things together that we have at home!

when i was in 6th grade and was out playing with my class (we invented our own game of tag and it was like the hunger games im telling you!! i still love it) and the snow was starting to melt as well. so by my school there was this little mountain/hill that was about 2-33m and not very steep plus there was snow on the ground underneath so me and my friend jumped down. but i got stuck with my foot in the snow and tripped, resulting in me scraping up my right knee rather badly and i have a scar there now.

32. are your friends mainly girls or guys? I’d say it’s pretty equal but i levitate more towards girls, I just feel more comfortable around girls.

33. something you want to learn mandarin, I am technically learning it right now but at some point in life it’d be really neat to be fluent! If that doesn’t count I want to learn more about physics.

34. most embarrassing moment I don’t really have one because I think over what I do a lot so i rarely end up in embarrassing moments. but once when i was getting a chai at espresso house (a coffee shop in sweden) the barista said “have a good day” and i said “no thank you” because i thought he was talking about the receipt.

35. favourite subject i reeeeally love history! but we don’t have that anymore so i’d say textile design 3!

36. 3 dreams you want to fulfill? becoming a fashion designer and show at paris fashion week

40. favourite memory oh I guess it gotta be from 9th grade when I was in a exchange program with my french class.

It was like a few days into my stay at her house in Auriol and my exchange student and I walked around in her neighborhood which was like mostly little houses, grape fields, mountains and long roads.

It was really beautiful just walking around and we talked about some deep stuff like politics and life while the sun was setting and I wore some shorts and a hoodie.

Also on the weekend when she her sister and mom took my down to the coast and took me sightseeing up on some mountains, small villages and then finished it off with 2-set lunch by the ocean!

42. favourite book(s) in order to live(yeonmi park) I don’t read a lot but this was the last thing i read and it’s really good and i think it’s a book everyone should read, it’s educational and can be a eye opener to what’s going on in the world.

43. favourite song ever this is so hard!!! i don’t really have one i think? i have too much love in my lil heart!!! but i guess it’s between russian roulette, she’s dreaming, free somebody and starlight !

44. age you get mistaken for either it’s like 16 or 20

45. how you found out about your idol i found out abt snsd and listened to gee and oh! and i was so hyped bc i was a really girly girl and it fit me perfectly and then i told a friend about it rather nervously and she was like “you should listen to real kpop” and showed me lolipop with 2ne1 and big bang and i was shook. it was the best thing i had ever heard!! i was with them from debut to them disbanding and i love them a lot, they mean a lot.

Note

For the question thing - can you answer all the "feelings and others" section plz? :)

230 - Are you a procrastinator or do you get things done early?A: definitely a procrastinator, unless it’s a fun task! We got ready for the chinchillas super early 😜 231 - Post a photo/draw a picture/write a poem (pick one) of a moment of personal significance:

Kinnoull Hill, where B and I went on our first date ☺️ I had no idea we’d still be together 3 ½ years on. Was hard to find a photo that portrays what it’s actually like to be up there. Not my photo by the way, it’s by Rising View.  232 - Say 5 things you love unconditionally:A: My rock collection, my family, being creative, chinchillas and snow days! (no particular order) 233 - What motivates you in life?A: I’m motivated knowing that younger me would be proud of the person I am today. I work towards being proud of my future self.  234 - Something that you’re proud of:A: I’m proud of my grades last semester!  235 - Five words/phrases that make you laugh:• the tune about solvents Rhea & I made up that was to the tune of Mambo no. 5•'silky, like kitten’ but said in a bad Russian accent. This was something that my sleep-deprived, coffee fuelled brain came up with when I saw the phrase ‘silky crystals’ in my lab book •'the door creaked and then I was committed’ something daft I said once Whalen I worked at abertay one summer. It just sounds funny out of context •is three funny phrases okay? I’m not a big fan of this question; it always tends to be the situation that’s funny, not the phrase  236 - Share the story of something that makes you smile:A: not a story, but it always makes me smile when my parents give us impromptu pet names! It’s always quite idiosyncratic and very sweet.  237 - Something you always think “what if…” about:A: What if I hadn’t gone into science but done something creative instead? I’ve always been pretty proficient with fabric, what if I’d decided to go into fashion? Sometimes wonder if I’d be happier.  238 - What was something you used to enjoy, but was ruined for you? What’s the story behind that?A: there were some bands I used to enjoy, but I kinda stopped listening to them after I got made fun of by a teacher in high school. I was quite young at the time and I wouldn’t let it stop me now, but I was just a kid having trouble finding themselves and I took other people’s feelings to heart too much. It’s a lesson not to be such a people pleaser, I guess 🤔  239 - Describe one of the most awkward experiences of your life:A: one summer my mum gave Brandon and I a telling off for leaving a bottle of buckfast in our room. What she didn’t bother to find out was that we’d bought it to bring to my sister’s get-together as a joke and we’d just parked it in my room in the meantime. She actually thought we were drinking it ourselves, I guess. I love my mum but she can be a bit crazy at times. 240 - Something/someone that you miss:A: I miss my family often, I don’t go back and see them as much as I ought to.  241 - Are you over your past?A: On the whole, I’d say that I am. Everyone that needs forgiveness, I’ve long since forgiven and I’ve come a long way in the past six years.  242 - What is your saddest memory?A: The night that I did something really harmful to myself. I remember being barely lucid on the couch of my eldest sister’s house; awake all night feeling too down to sleep.  243 - One of the hardest moments in your life:A: lifting 30-40kg beehives in summer! I hope you weren’t expecting something emotionally heavy for that answer haha!  244 - Is there something that happened in your past that you hate talking about?A. Yep- the chain of events culminating in the event described in q242. Keeping this brief haha  245 - What’s something you want to do that you’d be embarrassed to tell other people about?A: design and make something for me to wear, from start to finish. I always feel low-key embarrassed when I tell people my creative outlet is beauty/fashion/crafts. I’ve kind of internalised the notion that traditional feminine interests don’t count as me using my brain creatively; that it just makes me 'shallow’/'in love with myself’ and that I’d be doing more highbrow art if I was actually creative. Like I say, those aren’t wholly my views, I don’t apply to other people the standards I set upon myself. I’m trying to work out why I’m embarrassed by expressing my interests. (omg what an incoherent rant sorry) 246 - What was your most embarrassing moment?A: I’m really shy, so I have a lot of low-level embarrassing moments that aren’t really that noteworthy? One ongoing embarrassment though is my mum choosing to frame and display the photo of me at prom where I look really glaikit… there’s plenty others where I look fine, but she had to choose that one. :/  247 - Share one of your fears/insecurities:A: I’ll never be as thin as my eating disorder makes me feel I need to be. Every time I hit an arbitrary goal, my scumbag brain just moves the goalposts. I’m working hard on it though 💘 248 - Something you’re currently worrying about:A: exams, as always 😓 249 - Have you done something you regret very much?A: I stole a thing of yarn once. I was waiting at the till and nobody was there. I looked over to try and catch the eye of one of the staff and they just looked at me and kept on blethering! I just walked out with the thread in my hand because angry me thought that would totally make them regret being so awful at their job.  250 - If you could take something back that you said or did, what would it be?A: The incident from q249! I coulda just walked out and thrown them a frosty glance if I was that slighted.  251 - Does anyone hate you?A: I hope not, but you know what people are like.  252 - Do you hate anyone?A: I can’t think of anyone I currently have a personal hate for.  253 - Lyrics that apply to your current situation/mood.A: honestly can’t think of any off the top of my head. I don’t think people write songs about lying in bed too hungover to function… or if they do, I just haven’t heard them :L  254 - Are you good at hiding your feelings?A: I like to think I am, but I think people who know me well can read me like a book to be honest.  255 - What’s something you hide about your personality?A: I’m quite prone to being envious. Not proud of it.  256 - How do you approach social situations?A: Is 'by getting steaming drunk beforehand’ an acceptable answer? 😜 no but seriously, I worry like mad before a planned social event, but I’m usually fine once I’ve got there and settled in.  257 - Are you a social or an antisocial person?Can I say asocial? I definitely prefer doing most things on my own, but I wouldn’t class myself as antisocial purely on that basis.  258 - Are you an introvert or an extrovert?A: introvert all da wayyyy 259 - Do you care if people talk badly about you?A: I act like I don’t, but I do care deeply if it’s someone that’s close to me. Strangers on the other hand�� not so much!  260 - How do you deal with criticism?A: I think I’m okay with it, provided it’s done in a classy manner. If you’re patronising or downright bitchy, that’s when I get hurt and angry.  261 - How you hope your future will be like?A: I don’t have any big dreams, just simple ones. I’d like a semi-decent house (and a cat if I move to a rural area), a job where I’m happy and financially stable, and to have my chinchillas.  262 - What’s something that scares you about the future?A: The Yellowstone volcano could explode and everything would be destroyed just like that.  263 - Five items you lust after:•new rocks and minerals for my collection, I’ll never have enough •a pair of contact lenses that are actually comfy, I’d wear my glasses less if I found them. I don’t think such a thing exists though •new things to read! There’s some books I keep meaning to buy but when I have the money I keep prioritising other things. •cookie cutters! I always just use a glass but there’s some Pokémon cutters I kinda want. Problem is I don’t really bake enough to justify it to myself. •can’t think of anything else that’s not super boring like clothes/shoes etc so I’m going to say the final thing I lust after is to live near a forest. It would be amazing because then I can de-stress any time I like :)  264 - One thing you’re excited for:A: end of exams and summer? Such a rubbish answer but it’s true because I’m going to treat myself to another geode after exams yay!  265 - Describe the most terrifying/strangest/beautiful dream you’ve ever had:The only dream I’ve had that stands out from the rest is the time I dreamt I was having an injection and the pain was so real and strong that it woke me up and I actually had to check my arm and see if I had actually hurt myself. Once or twice I’ve seen strangers out and about that I’ve seen in a dream not long previously; that’s always a bit starting on the rare occasion it does happen.  266 - Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?A: nope.  267 - Who is your celebrity crush?A: I’ve never had a celebrity crush. I tend to notice ordinary people as attractive more than public figures; I suppose it’s because you can get a better sense of their personality when they’re not 'on duty’, so to speak.  268 - Make a confession:A: Honestly, video games bore me to tears. Brandon always tries to get me to try them because he loves them- I always give each game a fair try, but I can only handle about 2 hours and then I’m desperate to put it down and do something else. The only video game I’ve liked is diablo and I think skyrim is ok but I have trouble sticking to the main quest. Also, I know people are gonna hate on me for this, but I just could not get into minecraft! I don’t understand the point of it at all, didn’t have fun. (More of a rant than a confession, sorry :P)

A Week In Oakland, CA, On A $52,500 Salary Welcome to Money Diaries , where we're tackling what might be the last taboo facing modern working women: money. We're asking millennials how they spend their hard-earned money during a seven-day period — and we're tracking every last dollar. Today: a project manager who makes $52,500 per year. This week, she spends some of her money on a large order of Jack in the Box curly fries. Occupation: Project Manager Industry: Science/Biotech Age: 28 Location: Oakland, CA Salary: $52,500 for working 30 hours per week. I requested a part-time schedule so that I could focus on my side project, Project Tater Tot. Paycheck (2x/month): $1,198 after health insurance, HSA, and Roth are deducted Monthly Expenses Housing: $650. I rent the living room of a one-bedroom apartment. My one roommate uses the room and he pays for all the utilities and bills. I was worried about privacy, but it hasn't been an issue and I lucked out with this place. Loan Payments: None. I'm grateful to have graduated with scholarships, grants, and my parents paying the remainder. All Other Monthly Expenses Cell Phone: $21 Gym Membership: $79 Car Insurance: $45. (I pay $270 every six months.) Health Insurance: $24. I pay partial because I'm not full-time. I don't actually know how they got this number; my company puts $108 into my HSA because I chose the high-deductible plan which is cheaper for them, so they put the extra money into my HSA. HSA: $83, my contribution Roth: $939. The company matches 4% (or $375). I used to do a mix of 401(k) and Roth, but I'll be making more when I go full-time. (I don't know what I'm doing.) Investments: $910. I auto-deposit this into pre-selected Vanguard funds, in two installments. I only started investing a few months ago and previously held all my savings in a savings account. I save a lot because I don't know what my future self will want, but I know I'll need money to make it happen. I plan to use some of it for Project Tater Tot. I have $97,000 in investments, $45,000 in retirement, and $7,000 in savings. Day One 6:30 a.m. — It's been two days since the fires in Sonoma and Napa Counties started. I wake up and check the fire map. Some sections have grown but the largest ones have stalled a little. I'm a little relieved, there are also no new fires near us. I read all the news and check websites for volunteer needs. I know a lot of people who live in Santa Rosa and Napa, and my friends have a messaging group to update each other on our situations. I drove up last night to stay with my boyfriend in Petaluma. I check my work email, but everything is okay for now. 7:30 a.m. — My boyfriend gets back from work and surprises me with breakfast burritos in bed; he is so sweet. He starts work at 7, but came back because a bunch of jobs were canceled (construction) and he wanted to volunteer today. 8:40 a.m. — We get to the volunteer center early; they open at 9. We registered online yesterday, and now fill out a health form and sit around until we get called for an interview. They ask about our health, ability to work 12-hour shifts, and what kind of volunteering we'd like to do. Then we wait for a group training at 11. It's a long time to wait and I wish I'd brought a book! We see a bunch of staff from my boyfriend's climbing gym. All the younger folks in the room are trying to crack jokes and be silly, myself included. It's nice because otherwise we'd be sitting in a room worried about the fires. There is a good mix of people of all ages in the room waiting. 10:30 a.m. — We run out to get a veggie patty sub to split from Subway for lunch later. Everything goes in except pickles and pepperoncini. I love pickled things, but only in isolation. I pay, since he bought our burritos yesterday. $7.93 12 p.m. — I find the group training presentation useful but my boyfriend thinks it's pretty common sense. Oh well; we get laminated name tags at the end and a link to volunteering opportunities at different shelters. We sign up for the next shift at 12:45 p.m. to 7 p.m. in Santa Rosa. 12:50 p.m. — There has been an outpouring of donations and volunteers in the area, so they tell us we might be sitting around a bit. Undeterred, we go off to try to help. We bounce around helping serve food and cleaning chairs, doors, rails, etc., but everywhere is well staffed and we feel a bit useless. We do see the donation section overflowing, and decide to get to work helping to sort clothing into different sections. After wearing masks for a few hours (since we're working outside), I tell my boyfriend that I've gained an intimate understanding of how my breath smells now. He replies that he loves me. (I love him too.) A few people come by to get clothes and we help them out. We listen to their stories, as much or as little as they want to share. Interacting with the folks affected makes it feel so worthwhile. I used to want to be a counselor growing up, and this makes me think I should do more regular volunteering. 6:30 p.m. — We leave a little early; there seem to be plenty of volunteers and we've sorted the majority of the clothing donations, so we don't feel bad. My boyfriend tells me he wants to get chili from Amy's Drive-Thru and animal fries from In-N-Out (they are next door to each other) to combine into the ultimate chili cheese fries. We discuss it, but laziness wins out and he agrees to just get chili cheese fries from Amy's. $4.66 8 p.m. — When we get back to his place, we eat it with all the leftovers we have and watch American Dad . Leftovers include half a burrito, roasted veggies, black bean burger mash, and smoky baba ganoush with crackers. (I cooked the last three and he bought the burrito.) 9 p.m. — My boyfriend's parents tell us we'll be hosting evacuee friends tonight, and we help clean a little. They're bringing cats with them but there's already a refugee kitty in the computer room; the outdoor shed is prepped for the new cats though, so they won't need to be in the same space. I debate going home or staying over tonight. Instead of deciding, we cuddle up for the next few hours, and pass out early, before 10 p.m. Daily Total: $12.59 Day Two 6:05 a.m. — I wake up feeling very tired, and check all the updates again: news, friends, fire map. I also check my work; nothing new. Everything is okay, the Napa fire has grown a lot, but thankfully not in the direction of town. I try to go back to sleep but I can't for the next hour. At some point, I fall asleep. 10 a.m. — Omg, I wake up and it's 10. How did that happen?! I decide not to volunteer today and focus on resting and getting a bunch of work done. Before leaving, I snack on tomatoes that are about to go bad and baba ganoush. Petaluma was sent a warning notice this morning, which wasn't an evacuation zone, but which we took to mean, “Get a bag ready in case a fire starts somewhere near you.” 11 a.m. — It's smoky everywhere, but as I stop for gas in Novato, I can see that the sky to the east is distinctly orange. $41 11:30 a.m. — A quick stop at the 99 Ranch Market (big Asian market) because it's on the way. I decide to grab some yam greens, small head of Napa cabbage, sesame mochi balls, and a big bag of Calbee seaweed chips. I've never tried the last two, but they're on sale and I like snacks when I'm stressed. Also, grab a fresh-baked pork sung and green onion bun ($1.75) from the bakery next to the store. I haven't had pork sung (I call it pork floss) in years and so I'm curious if I still like it. I do. It's nicely salty and savory and just what I want for my drive home. $9.04 12 p.m. — I check on the status of everything once I get home. (I am constantly checking so I'll stop mentioning it.) There's not much I can do right now, so I start working. I'm luckily at a bit of a lull in my main work project and nothing crazy or time sensitive is happening this week. My workplace, based in Petaluma, sent out a notice that they'll be paying full wages for this week while the site is closed because of safety and air quality concerns, which I think is nice. Work feels really weird, like I shouldn't be doing normal activities while the world is literally on fire around me. Email is eerily quiet, and it feels like I'm sending out emails into the void since some of the people I work with are not working right now. Why am I working? Should I be volunteering right now? I feel conflicted. I eat a lot of chips and then sesame mochi balls. I also submit 16 hours of sick time for this week, since I haven't been productive this week. 3 p.m. — I start texting my friends who are in the fire-affected cities to see if they want to come over for dinner this weekend. I've got a few takers, so I'm excited to see them and give them hugs. 6:30 p.m. — I am very tempted to make ramen for dinner. The things is, I love ramen, but my body doesn't. I do want greens, so I stick with the plan and make a soup with the yam greens and Napa cabbage. Something about the hot savory broth and silky green leaves is comforting and fills me up with goodness. I make a huge pot, and eat a huge bowl. 9 p.m. — Damn, I have missed the past two days of my pill; this is unfortunate. I must also report that I finished the bag of chips. Daily Total: $50.04 Day Three 7 a.m. — I'm out and at the gym for climbing with my friend. My friend is very stressed about work, but venting and hard climbs make us both feel great. I also find out some good news about the fires, which have gone from being around 3% contained to 18%-24% contained. It's a relief to hear that there is progress. 9:30 a.m. — When I get home, I start work and eat breakfast: soup and an open-faced sandwich with black bean patty and vegan cheese melted all over it. 12:40 p.m. — I snack on a piece of toast with vegan butter. I'm planning to volunteer for the overnight shift tonight, but haven't decided on Napa or Petaluma. My boyfriend says he's down to help, so Petaluma it is. I read an article about a man and his wife surviving the fire in a pool, only to have his wife die in his arms. I burst into tears; the perks of working remotely. 2:15 p.m. — Lunchtime is the same leftovers. I don't mind. 5 p.m. — I'm done with work but I forgot about the rush hour traffic and need to wait it out a bit before I leave. I bring my sleeping bag just in case. $5 bridge toll on my FasTrak account. $5 7:10 p.m. — When I get to the shelter, most of the volunteer work is with donations. There are so many, it almost seems like too many. We make gigantic piles of diapers sorted by size; there's also work unloading donations from cars; and always work sorting and organizing donations. A supervisor tells me that since the Coast Guard is here, it's better for them to do the overnight shifts instead of volunteers. As it becomes dark, it's heartening to see so many folks hustling late. Some parents have brought their elementary school children, who are kicking butt. 9:15 p.m. — By this time, most of the work is done; I head to my boyfriend's place to crash. Daily Total: $5 Day Four 9:15 a.m. — We sleep in because we're a little too tired to do the breakfast shift, 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. 10:15 a.m. — So many more people volunteer when it's daytime! There is tons to do. It's mostly physical, moving stuff everywhere, but much better than staying in one spot folding clothes. 12:30 p.m. — We grab free food at the shelter that will go bad if people don't eat it: bagels, hard-boiled eggs, fruit, salad, and mashed potatoes. 3:30 p.m. — On the way back to Oakland, I grab groceries for the dinner tonight: two cans chickpeas, yogurt, parsley, cilantro, plums, lemon, limes, corn meal, onions, and wine. It's later than I anticipated when we start cooking; my roommate is also cooking for a party tonight so it's a lively scene. I take a shot of whisky because cooking while buzzed is really fun. The air seems good right now so we open the windows for fresh air. It's the first time we've opened the windows since the fire started. $24.93 6:15 p.m. — Some friends come over, and we have a good time chatting and eating dinner. I was expecting more people to show up but it works out well with a few people. We somehow manage to finish most of the food I made (probably because we all continue to munch at the dinner table as the night goes on). Dinner tonight is roasted spiced cauliflower, falafel with an herby yogurt sauce, and polenta. 9:45 p.m. — Our friends head home and there are hugs all around. We clean up and relax until it's time for bed. Daily Total: $24.93 Day Five 9:15 a.m. — Sleeping in is so nice. I'm not sure why I'm sleeping so much these days. 11:30 a.m. — We're going for a hike in the Redwoods. One of the major perks of living in Oakland is that you're generally only a 10-minute drive away from hiking trails and serious forests. It smells like eucalyptus and redwoods so we hike without respirators. 1 p.m. — Back at the house, I start working on Project Tater Tot and eat a snack of yogurt with lemon curd. 2 p.m. — Time for a plum and reheated polenta. I add more bouillon, salt, and a bit of miso, then pour it into a cake pan so I can chill it for later. 3:30 p.m. — I find a group and conference for women in clean tech and sustainability — the membership costs about $150, and the conference is roughly $100. I don't go to any events, but I feel like I should start looking into professional and grassroots communities. I pass on buying anything for now. 4 p.m. — We take a stroll and grab slices of pizza at Arizmendi (fennel, bell peppers, feta, other deliciousness on top), and then decide to also try a slice at Lanesplitter (pesto, olives, tomatoes) before going to see Bladerunner . Boyfriend buys the tickets ($12) since I bought the pizza. $11 7:45 p.m. — Bladerunner was amazing! It's one of those movies that puts me in a contemplative and mischievous zone after. We walk around a bit in the area before we walk home. I read a little bit of a new book ( A Personal Matter ) and then pack up to go back to my boyfriend's place. I always feel like I carry too many bags for a simple overnight trip. I always bring work stuff, project work stuff, a change of clothes, and homemade food so I won't have to buy anything. Bridge toll again. $5 10:30 p.m. — We're both energized but can't stay out too late because there's work tomorrow, so we decide to go inhale junk food. He gets animal fries from In-N-Out and I get curly fries from Jack in the Box. I honestly don't like the In-N-Out fries very much and I haven't had curly fries in years. Sooo good. $3.23 Daily Total: $19.23 Day Six 9:30 a.m. — Head into the office, which feels very normal even though we've been out for a week. The water cooler talk, as expected, is all about the fire and how we've been affected. On the way to work, I take a longer look at my hair, which I thought was in good shape; in reality, it is dying at the ends. I'm seriously overdue for a haircut so I make an appointment when I get to work. It's been a year and a half, and I cringe about having to explain the state of my hair to my hairdresser later. 10:30 a.m. — I eat the yogurt and granola that I brought from home and a plum an hour later. There's also nut mix around the office. Mmm, cashews. 1:45 p.m. — For lunch, there's a bunch of leftover cheese pizza in the work fridge which I know will get thrown out if people don't partake. Free food! (Even though I do feel a bit of pizza overload coming on.) I get into a good groove after lunch and it's a productive day. I chat with a friend at the company about a new role I would possibly take on in a few months. I'm always conflicted between wanting to pursue my Tater Tot Project and my professional career at this company. For now, I feel lucky that I'm able to do both, but I know that if I don't push for career opportunities at my company, I won't get them (when you tell people you want to work part-time, they know you're half out the door). 5:15 p.m. — Head over to chop off some dead hair! It's $30 and I give $9 tip (exactly how much cash I have left). She's really nice and says my hair damage isn't too bad (phew), and proceeds to give me the quickest haircut I've ever had. I get in and out in under 20 minutes. $39 6:15 p.m. — Oh no, my hair is flaring out because it's about shoulder length, which I hate. When she asked if I want layers, I said, “Uh, sure. Why not?” Wrong choice. Why did I do this to myself? I visit my boyfriend before I head home. He does not understand why I'm grumpy about my hair or why I spend five minutes staring in the mirror. 7:20 p.m. — He offers me chicken curry to go with my polenta, which I happily eat for dinner. We listen to an interesting NPR Fresh Air episode about the importance of sleep. By this point, I'm done being upset about my hair. There's nothing I can do about it since my goal other than grow it out. 8:40 p.m. — My boyfriend convinces me to stay a bit longer instead of leaving, so I start working on Project Tater Tot while he reads and makes weird noises on the foam roller. I get in a good two hours of work, hang out a bit, then make the drive home. I am SO happy to be in my own bed, and look forward to staying put for a few days, having some alone time, and getting some work done. Daily Total: $39 Day Seven 8:45 a.m. — I cannot make myself go to the gym in the morning unless I'm meeting someone. So I sleep in until my first meeting starts. I like my job, there's a lot of odds and ends I take care of today, before I do more technical work. It can be hard for people with a bachelor's degree in science to get more interesting jobs, and I think project management is something to keep in mind if it sounds interesting to you. 10:20 a.m. — I make crispy seasoned bean curd, a fried egg, yam greens and Hong Kong noodles with oyster sauce and sesame oil for breakfast. I drink the rest of my soup too. I eat a plum an hour later. 1:45 p.m. — For lunch, I add different seasonings to my polenta to change it up and eat a polenta bowl with garlic, parmesan, and a boatload of fresh parsley. My fridge is out of vegetables, so I'll have to make a trip later today. My friend left me a small green tea ice cream encased in chocolate waffle. I try it and it's really good. I've never had the chocolate and green tea combination before, I tentatively like it. 3 p.m. — Snack on yogurt with lemon curd. 5 p.m. — I do a 20-minute cardio kickboxing workout at home after work is done. I feel disproportionately proud of myself. 6:30 p.m. — I decide to walk to the closest grocery store because I only need veggies. It's nice to get out of the house and keeps me sane. As it turns out, this store is really expensive; I hone in on the sale stuff and grab three zucchinis, two carrots, and a pint of Straus cookies and cream ice cream, which is my current obsession. For dinner, I make pan-fried tofu slices with a Vietnamese marinade, a bunch of veggies (onions, carrot, zucchini), and use some leftover polenta. I share dinner with my roommate, and he shares the cherry kompot (Russian fruit drink) he made. It's really refreshing. I'm happy I've got enough leftovers for the next three meals. $7.84 9 p.m. — I read a few chapters of my new book and mess around on the internet for a while. I do a little bit of research on training classes that would be helpful for my project and might also be helpful for my job. I wonder if I can convince them to pay for it... 10 p.m. — Ice cream break. I wonder if someone who wanted some of the pint would be able to tell that I seek out the cookie bits.

{ OOC }

So... I’ve been missing. I needed some time for myself, I was really down and I just wanted to take a break from existing basically. I haven’t kept in touch with anyone, not even picking up the phone from grandma. I don’t know why specifically but I can tell you what has been happening in my life lately.

But before all that, I just want to take the time to thank you for keeping me up to date with your life and for always remembering me. I received your present last Friday and that made me sooooooooooooooooooooo happy. You have no idea, my favourite thing to colour is animals ^^ also, mom LOVED her calender, she hung it up on our living room and told me to thank you while complimenting your kindness and “foolishness” from wasting money on her. So thank you, thank you very much for your words, your actions and the postcards! They’re really well thought out and it makes my heart warm to know that I have someone who loves me, even if we’re far apart.

Where do I begin though.

As you know, I’ve been promised a job. I’m still waiting for it because the guy is so utterly busy he just can’t find the time to make videos with me. I don’t know, I’m disappointed I guess. Again. Mom also talked to the lady who was going to give me a ton of work and she also said she’s too busy. I might have a shot at teaching english 101 but the burocracy is crazy and idek how to handle situations like that, its all so complicated, my god. So I’ve been a little sad regarding that. But hey! I finished my portfolio if you wanna check it out. I’ll be adding stuff to it as I make more stuff. Here’s the link: https://marquesara.wixsite.com/portfolio

What else is new? Ah! Since I’ve been feeling so lost and just down, I took on a little project. At first, it was going to be a turtle but the money to keep one is sooooooo much that I decided on dwarf hamsters. They’re very cute. They’re also kinda boring because they don’t interact with us but eh they’re nice to look at and feed and stuff. At first I got two: Francis and Sebastian. I read online that males are usually more calm than females so I decided on two males. AND I build their cage out of a plastic storage box, that wood flooring they have, cardbox as bed and stairs a wheel, a bird nest and feeding / drinking objects. It gave me a purpose, you know? And I was a little happier for a little while. They now live in my closet because my cats are crazy killers and they don’t leave the poor things alone. So during the day I leave the door open from the closet so they can see sunlight while I keep the door to my room closed so they can’t get in. At night I close the closet and leave the door open for the cats if they want to sleep on my bed. Oh! But that’s not all. I went back for a third mouse because the box was just so big for 2 little creatures. When I got to the store I said I wanted to take one more and the lady went. “We have two here but one is not for sale because he doesn’t have a leg so we can’t sell that one.” but I had noticed that one of the hamsters I had home had a limp so I told her that and she apologized and said I could take it back and they’d give me the money back for it. I said no way! The creature is no less of a creature because it has a limp! So the lady said she would offer me one hamster instead. I agreed to that (duh) but I saw that there was only one left in the cage so I told her I’d take that one too so he wouldn’t be alone. So now I have four hamsters living in my room. Oh! The others’ names are Aiden and Josh. They’re all named after characters from shows I love hahaha

Still on the animal train, we have Lolita! Lolita is a very pretty, young cat who gave birth to three kittens last month. She belongs to a friend of grandma’s and the poor cat got pregnant basically because the woman won’t sterilize her and she didn’t want to hear the cat whine so she let her free. Someone found her on the street, shaking, quivering in fear under a car and with major weight loss. Instantly, I wanted to take Lolita from that woman. And I might. I’m going to propose to her that I take her to the vet and do an aids test on her. I can’t add an aids cat in my family but I can help with the kittens. Mom wants to adopt one so we might just do that. Or take them all to the vet for responsible adoptions, because wtf... People are so selfish. I spent a whole hour in her house with Lolita and her kittens. Lolita is so gentle and thin and her cubs are still so small they can’t even meow sometimes. One is black and white, the other is white with brown spots and the other one is white and bege. They’re ALL adorable. But this kind of thing triggers me. I know I can’t be the super hero, saving all the animals but that makes me sad and just bleh.

Moving onward, in a talk with mom she said I had my savings from my childhood in the house and not in the bank anymore and it was a decent amount so instead of just worrying about the future all the time and seeing mom getting so stressed about money, I took her with me to the mall nearest, to Primark so we could both get some new clothes. She was really happy so we went once again days later. I paid for all of it. It wasn’t much but it was something we could never afford if it wasn’t for the savings since mom isn’t doing so well in her job. Anyway, I got sunglasses from dad that cost 25 CENTS!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, that’s how cheap that store is. You can get amazing deals. He was so happy for the random present hahahaha. I also then took a little more cash out of the envelope and told mom to come with me to a store nearby where the supermarket is, she was confused and asked why so I asked her “black, white or gold”? She was even more confused but on our way there she yells “YOU’RE NOT BUYING ME A PHONE ARE YOU?”. Let’s just say mom’s phone belongs in the 1700s and it has a lot of issues. So I searched online and I got a great deal from that store. Mom was FLOORED. It was nice to see. She’s been so down too so I wanted to cheer her up a bit! And it worked, she loved the phone. It’s no Terminator but it works fine, so ^^

I also got you a couple cute things but idk when I’ll be sending them because our post office is working like SHIT!!!!!!!!!!! I’m super mad at them. Remember when I told you I had some stuff from ebay coming? ONE IS STILL NOT HERE DUE TO A TECHNICAL DIFFICULTY. I was so pissed at them I emailed them to insult the crap out of them. Sigh. I hope it comes back soon or I’ll destroy the company with my screams.

Mom bought me an aloe vera plant.

I started washing my hair with shampoo after 1 year of flour. It’s organic, biologic and plant-based blah blah so that I can finally not have flour in my hair all the time but still don’t damage it with chemicals. I didn’t even know such things existed LOL but at the mall I saw this store glowing green and checked it out and NOW I AM FREE OF FLOUR HAHAHAHAHAH

In the meantime, I went to two funerals. No one I knew personally but they were family of family, you know? It made me remember to pray, I had forgotten the words hahahaha. And I like churches, they look old and historical and smell wooden-y hahahaahah I’m an idiot.

Anyway, basically I just dug myself a hole and covered it. I’m ready to resurface now, bit by bit. Thank the lord for TV series. Spoiler alert, Jon Snow sleeps with a very hot woman. LOL But what’s really got me going is this series called Being Human and it’s SOOOOOOOOOOO good. It’s about a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost who live together. They’re all friends against their species “rules”. It’s so dramatic and violent and romantic and emotional and omg I just want to marry Josh, he’s my little Teddy Bear. You should check it out! I think you’d like it. Don’t watch the UK version, that SUCKS. Watch the US remake. Ughhhhhhhh. I even wrote fanfiction about me and Josh HAHHHAHAHAHAHAHA It’s silly but when you’re by yourself that’s what you do.

I just... I really can’t explain it. I fell like Alice in Wonderland (idk if you’ll get the reference or if you saw the movie) but she falls down this hole in the ground and there’s all sorts of things she sees around her like tea pots and chess tables and singing butterflies AS SHE FALLS (more like floats down). And then I felt trapped, I didn’t know which way to go. Should I wait for work here, should I just pack my things and go to Ireland? It’s all so blurry and I think the anxiety of it all caught up to me.

Which reminds me! I upped my meds and they’re working well :)

What else...

Hmmm, oh I have the flu -_- I think I caught it from a kid at dad’s house the other day I went there to have dinner with them. I feel like I weigh 1000000000000kg but it’s all physical, you know? Clogged nose, horrible dry cough, bit of a fever. Nothing that won’t cure itself.

I think that’s all there is to tell, actually. The rest of my days I just spend watching shows with mom, sleeping the day away because the meds make me sleepy, walking Mel, taking naps, and more naps. Oh right! And I’m doing therapy too. They stopped the OCD therapy for now because I believe I’m in a good place right now, controllable state that I don’t need a doctor to continue with my treatment for that. But now we’re going all the way back to my childhood and why I only have nightmares and why do I dream of the same guy over and over who I didn’t even date but like... it was a crush in MIDDLE SCHOOL. She basically said I’m emotionally damaged (what a surprise) and that led to consequences such as not liking men unless they’re fictional. But we just started on that so we’ll see where this goes. I think that put me down too, I had to write about every guy I had been involved even at 12 years old and I hated remembering all those times and people and that ALSO contributed to me not being in the brightest of mood.

Then I tried joining a RP as JB from GOT7 because he’s a hot piece of ass. I was on like 7 different dates, not even kidding but I lost interest because they were too easy. I left and joined as Yeeun. No one talked to me so I left again and came back as Ken and his ex from a rp like... two years ago is there and it’s so awkward I just stopped showing.

And that has been my life!

You have no idea how much I’ve missed you and I wanted to talk to you but I just didn’t have the strength... I’m sorry about that and for not being there when you needed me, I truly feel so bad. But I’m here now okay? And I’ll even rewind here so that we don’t clog the messenger feed (which we tend to do a lot)

St John Tea Transcripts - July 25, “1917″

[19:00] Gabrielle Riel: It's 7pm SLT, so I am starting!

[19:01] Gabrielle Riel: Good evening everyone! Thank you so much for taking the time to be here.

[19:01] Gabrielle Riel: I have two topics that I need to cover tonight:

[19:01] Gabrielle Riel: First, a change to the estate and second, this year’s hurricane.

[19:01] Gabrielle Riel: As always, please hold your questions until after I am done with my explanation. It is very likely that I will address your question(s) at some point during my explanation, because it’s long and thorough. I will ask for questions, so just jot yours down as they come to you!

[19:02] Gabrielle Riel: Ready? Here we go!

[19:02] Kylie: Hi Emma

[19:02] Pru: have a seat, Emma. giggles

[19:02] Kitty: ok! im ready!

[19:02] Kylie: *listening*

[19:02] Gabrielle Riel: First topic - change to the estate.

[19:02] Kylie: *hic*

[19:02] Gabrielle Riel: In the next few weeks I will be removing the St John Beach sim from the estate. There are simply not enough tenants to cover its cost.

[19:02] Kylie: (( Hi Scout! ))

[19:03] Scout MacLeod: (hi kylie!!)

[19:03] Kylie: Oh noooo

[19:03] Gabrielle Riel: I am in the process of relocating the few residents in that sim to other parcels in St John. And I will be moving the St John Island sim down into Beach’s current position.

[19:03] Kitty: oh no! no more flying

[19:03] Gabrielle Riel: I mentioned at at Tea a few months ago that we could lose some sims this year, so this should not be a shock.

[19:03] Kylie: I was going to rent a summer place

[19:03] Gabrielle Riel: I have also mentioned before that homestead sims are horrible from a financial standpoint. They add space but generate no revenue at all. They basically break even only when full.

[19:04] Gabrielle Riel: So, if a homestead is not full, it’s a financial drain on the estate overall.

[19:04] Kylie: Hi Kylee!

[19:04] Kylee Gracemount: Hi !

[19:04] Kylie: pulls up my map

[19:04] Gabrielle Riel: St John is currently in the black. Even with St John Beach in the red, St John is still in the black. However, it’s my goal to keep the financial health of the estate strong. And getting rid of a single homestead sim that is in the red is the right decision to keep the estate strong from a financial standpoint.

[19:04] Mari Moonbeam: makes a note to steal a set of St John Beach Hotel china

[19:04] Gabrielle Riel: Don’t stress about it. I am not stressing about it. Second Life communities go through cycles. Last year we were in an “up” cycle. So much so that I sent out a survey to determine land needs.

[19:05] Kylie: hehe Hi Mari!

[19:05] Kitty: hahah Mare

[19:05] Gabrielle Riel: I added land based on the results of that survey. Then about half of the people who begged me for larger parcels, flaked out within a month or two of me giving them the larger parcels and dumped the land and left the estate.

[19:05] Kylie: Yeah, I totally understand that

[19:05] Gabrielle Riel: This, by the way, is completely normal! Most people in SL are incredibly flaky when it comes to land. They are fickle and want instant gratification. They are also fine with instant land-dumping. I have know this for years and years and I am used to it. I have been an estate owner for 8.5 years and I learned these land lessons in my first 6 months of being an estate owner.

[19:05] Iliana Cerise: Get some of the beach towels too, soooo soft

[19:06] Gabrielle Riel: Those of you here right now? Attending this tea? YOU are the unique ones. You are special in your loyalty and care and interest. You are the minority, in a good way, but know that most people in SL are not like you.

[19:06] Mari Moonbeam: good idea!

[19:06] Kylie: I knew it!

[19:06] Gabrielle Riel: So, we must bid adieu to St John Beach.

[19:06] Scout MacLeod: haha

[19:06] Gabrielle Riel: It was a nice run for a year, but it’s over.

[19:06] Gabrielle Riel stops and looks at that sentence.

[19:07] Kylie: *tries to stay quiet*

[19:07] Gabrielle Riel: Yep, that’s my life in 2017! ;-)

[19:07] Pru: :)

[19:07] Alas Sturges snickers softly.

[19:07] Gabrielle Riel: Anyway!

[19:07] Iliana Cerise: grins at Gabi

[19:07] Kylie: hehe

[19:07] Iliana Cerise: Water under the bridge!

[19:07] Gabrielle Riel: Does anyone have any questions about the removal of St John Beach?

[19:08] Kitty: i need a pillow under my butt woman!

[19:08] Kylie: Is it immediate?

[19:08] Alas Sturges: No questions. Sad, but understandable.

[19:08] Pru: Nope

[19:08] Iliana Cerise: lol Kitty

[19:08] Gabrielle Riel: The residents need to be out by this Friday.

[19:08] Alas Sturges: Throws pillow to Kitty. Ducks in case it comes out.

[19:08] Iliana Cerise: nods with Alas

[19:08] Alas Sturges: *comes back

[19:08] Kylie: Ok, so still time for a picture or two

[19:08] Kitty: ty

[19:08] Gabrielle Riel: Then I will try and sell it, but I have no idea if it will sell.

[19:09] Kylie: What happens if it doesn't sell?

[19:09] Gabrielle Riel: It will go offline in the first few days of August if I don't sell it.

[19:09] Kitty: it will

[19:09] Kitty: oh whats that mean??

[19:09] Gabrielle Riel: I file a ticket with LL for them to remove it.

[19:09] Kitty: so money lost?

[19:09] Gabrielle Riel: Not really

[19:09] Kitty: oh ok whew

[19:10] Gabrielle Riel: I covered the cost of the purchase with parcel purchase fees

[19:10] Gabrielle Riel: Then the damn thing ran in the red for a year. So it's been "losing" money the whole time.

[19:10] Kitty: dang

[19:10] Gabrielle Riel: Part of the reason for that is that my house was there.

[19:10] Gabrielle Riel: And any land I own, is land not leased.

[19:11] Kylie: I looked there last week and didn't see anything open except one cottage

[19:11] Gabrielle Riel: 3 people abandoned there on the same day

[19:11] Kylie: Ugh

[19:11] Kitty: oh wow

[19:11] Gabrielle Riel: And I was considering selling the sim a month ago.

[19:11] Kylie: A sign then

[19:11] Iliana Cerise: whoa

[19:11] Gabrielle Riel: That just sealed the deal.

[19:12] Gabrielle Riel: We will have a hole in the estate for a few days.

[19:12] Gabrielle Riel: I have to pay to move Islands into Beach's position.

[19:12] Gabrielle Riel: And it might take a week or two to scrape money together for that.

[19:12] Iliana Cerise: nods

[19:12] Kylie: wow, they charge you to move things?

[19:13] Gabrielle Riel: Yep

[19:13] Gabrielle Riel: $125 USD

[19:13] Gabrielle Riel: per sim

[19:13] Kylie: SMH

[19:13] Kylee Gracemount: eep

[19:13] Emmanuelle Huntress: they charge for everything

[19:13] Kitty: pfffft

[19:13] Kylie: How hard can it be?

[19:13] Kitty: 125 bucks worth hard!

[19:13] Gabrielle Riel: So it will be on the map for another week or so

[19:13] Gabrielle Riel: then poof!

[19:14] Gabrielle Riel: I am moving my house back here to Parish

[19:14] Kylie: Awwww

[19:14] Kitty: Parish is nice

[19:14] Kylie: dang, I loved your house there

[19:14] Iliana Cerise: As my old friend Blu told me years ago, "It's the way the Lindens keep us poor," lol

[19:14] Gabrielle Riel: And have relocation spots for the others left

[19:14] Kylie: LOL Iliana

[19:14] Gabrielle Riel: Me too Kylie....but there are some memories there that I am ready to let go of

[19:14] Iliana Cerise: grins at Kylie

[19:14] Scout MacLeod: oh good!

[19:15] Scout MacLeod: relocation spots

[19:15] Gabrielle Riel: Any other questions about the demise of St John Beach?

[19:15] Kitty: oh thats true

[19:15] Kylie: Where are the relocations?

[19:15] Kitty: i will sage it before it goes

[19:15] Gabrielle Riel: One resident went to Bayou

[19:15] Kitty: oh nice

[19:15] Kylie: We need a welcome party. ;)

[19:15] Scout MacLeod: yay!

[19:15] Kitty: yeah

[19:15] Gabrielle Riel: The other two I am waiting to hear from but I have spots in Uptown for them if they want them

[19:16] Iliana Cerise: cool

[19:16] Gabrielle Riel: Ok, next topic: it’s hurricane time!

[19:16] Kylie: Well, like RL... our SL is ever changing

[19:16] Pru: Hurricane "G"

[19:16] Gabrielle Riel: So...

[19:16] Kylie: OMG

[19:16] Kylie: <--RL G

[19:16] Gabrielle Riel: I had my usual explanation all typed out

[19:17] Gabrielle Riel: And then I realized

[19:17] Gabrielle Riel: that most likely, tonight, there would be no one new here ar tea

[19:17] Gabrielle Riel: *at tea

[19:17] Gabrielle Riel: And I was right

[19:17] Gabrielle Riel: I don't need to go into my usual background info

[19:17] Gabrielle Riel: You all know it already

[19:18] Kitty: yeah old hat

[19:18] Kylie: We dooooo!

[19:18] Gabrielle Riel: So this will make tea shorter than I expected!

[19:18] Kylie: I'm waiting to hear dates cause.... well... i just want to hear them

[19:18] Gabrielle Riel: So let me pick what pieces of info are pertinent to you oldbies!

[19:19] Alas Sturges gets out her hearing trumpet.

[19:19] Iliana Cerise: Hurricnane! yaaay

[19:19] Gabrielle Riel: The St John hurricane always occurs on the third weekend in August and it lasts for roughly 48 hours, from late afternoon SLT on Friday until late afternoon on Sunday. This year it will be on August 18-20.

[19:19] Iliana Cerise: giggle, Alas

[19:19] Pru: Smiles at the thought of being an "oldbie"

[19:19] Kylie: Yayyyyyy!!!!!!

[19:19] Scout MacLeod: haaha

[19:19] Gabrielle Riel: Last year we had a situation occur that I always knew was a possibility in terms of scheduling. There was a RL destructive flooding situation that happened in Louisiana on the weekend that our hurricane was scheduled.

[19:20] Gabrielle Riel: Because of that, last year’s hurricane was pushed back into mid-September. If there is a RL hurricane or flooding disaster this year on the third weekend in August, I will do the same thing as I did last year. I will push it back into September.

[19:20] Kylie: My 3rd one and I'm an oldbie too!

[19:20] Iliana Cerise: passes Pru some Geritol

[19:20] Scout MacLeod: is this hurricane Gabrielle?

[19:20] Pru: hahaha

[19:20] Gabrielle Riel: Let's hope that all is well this year in August.

[19:20] Kylie: *cries if it's in September and crosses my fingers for the best*

[19:20] Iliana Cerise: Agreed! Crosses fingers

[19:21] Gabrielle Riel: So you all know that I alternate male and female names every year

[19:21] Scout MacLeod: sits on edge of seat

[19:21] Gabrielle Riel: Hurricane Frédérique was last year, a female name

[19:21] Mari Moonbeam: along came Mari

[19:21] Iliana Cerise: Uh oh...

[19:21] Gabrielle Riel: 2017 should technically be a male name...

[19:21] Scout MacLeod: wrings hands

[19:21] Kylie: Technically being the key word

[19:22] Gabrielle Riel: Howevah... ;-)

[19:22] Pru: hahaha

[19:22] Gabrielle Riel: This year is G.

[19:22] Kylie: *:-.,_,.-:*'´ `*. HoOoOoO!¸.*´`'*:-.,_,.-:*

[19:22] Gabrielle Riel: Therefore we are having Hurricane Gabrielle.

[19:22] Scout MacLeod: holds breath

[19:22] Scout MacLeod: YAY!!!!!!!!!!

[19:22] Pru: Woot!

[19:22] Kylie: Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

[19:22] Mari Moonbeam: yay!

[19:22] Kylie: And what could be more perfect this year?

[19:22] Iliana Cerise: ··..•°•··..? Applauds! ? ..··•°•..··

[19:22] Emmanuelle Huntress: woo.

[19:22] Otenth Håkon Paderborn smiles

[19:22] Gabrielle Riel feels Soliel grinning at her - she was SO looking forward to this year!

[19:23] Emmanuelle Huntress is still brooding over E.

[19:23] Pru: hugs Emma

[19:23] Kitty: hahha

[19:23] Kylie: Awwwww

[19:23] ÅL? RÅ??N: So what letter is it

[19:23] Kitty: few more years we get a K

[19:23] Gabrielle Riel: She was SO excited in....was it 2014? That Gabrielle was on the RL list.

[19:23] Gabrielle Riel looks at Kitty

[19:23] Iliana Cerise: was your name bypassed, Emma?

[19:23] Kylie: I'll arm wrestle you for it, Kityt

[19:23] Kitty: looks away

[19:23] Kylie: Kitty...

[19:23] Gabrielle Riel: Yeah and that will be Hurricane Kristin ;-)

[19:23] Kitty: k

[19:24] Kylie: sorry ... wine typing

[19:24] Kitty: gasp!

[19:24] Gabrielle Riel laughs!

[19:24] Kylie: Hahahahaha

[19:24] Iliana Cerise: hee hee

[19:24] Kylie: Well, that makes sense

[19:24] Gabrielle Riel: I can’t believe we made it to G! That seemed impossibly far off when I started in 2010!

[19:24] Kitty whispers: no it dosnt

[19:24] Alas Sturges: I feel a hurricane season of non-stop puns coming in.

[19:24] Otenth Håkon Paderborn: Hurricane Kristin will have dancing go-go boys swept up in the surf

[19:24] Pru: hahaha

[19:25] Gabrielle Riel: Of course!

[19:25] Kitty: hahaha Otenth

[19:25] Kylie: LOL Otenth!

[19:25] Gabrielle Riel: I will ponder that

[19:25] Mari Moonbeam: Helmut?

[19:25] Iliana Cerise: Boys in bikinis... girls in surfboards...

[19:25] Pru: pass the tanning butter

[19:25] Scout MacLeod: I like helmut

[19:25] Emmanuelle Huntress: Henri

[19:25] Kitty: Hunny buttons?

[19:26] Gabrielle Riel gags

[19:26] Scout MacLeod: oh henri! that's probably more french

[19:26] Gabrielle Riel: Oh hell, did I just do that in public?

[19:26] Emmanuelle Huntress: Mais oui

[19:26] Pru: hahaha, Gabi

[19:26] Gabrielle Riel: Kylie is the one drinking! Not me!

[19:26] Kylie: LOL

[19:26] Iliana Cerise: Oooh, do male so that "I" will be female... nudge nudge wink wink

[19:26] Emmanuelle Huntress crosses myself and hail marys

[19:26] Kylie: I told you I'd be quiet

[19:26] Kylie: LOLOLOL

[19:26] Pru: Hello, Princess!

[19:26] Alas Sturges: You have the right to remain silent. But can you?

[19:26] Kitty: Hi Pea

[19:27] Mari Moonbeam: that hurricane would miss the land , wimper out in a sand bar

[19:27] Princess Selena waves and is sorry for being so late

[19:27] Alas Sturges nudges Kylie playfully.

[19:27] Kylie: Hi Selena!

[19:27] Kylee Gracemount: Hi Selena

[19:27] Kitty: hahaha Mare

[19:27] Kylie: *passes my flask to Alas*

[19:27] Gabrielle Riel scans all the stuff she wrote that is not needed, looking for the next info

[19:27] Mari Moonbeam: grins

[19:27] Gabrielle Riel: We have one more tea before the hurricane, it will be 3 weeks from tonight, Tuesday, August 15. At that tea I will direct you to the supplies that I will put out. Sandbags and other full perm items you will be able to use to prepare your homes.

[19:27] Iliana Cerise: Is your hurricane spiel long-winded, Gabi?

[19:28] Kitty: not this year

[19:28] Kylie: Hahahah Iliana

[19:28] Otenth Håkon Paderborn slips out to cater to the typist.

[19:28] Iliana Cerise: giggles

[19:28] Gabrielle Riel rolls her eyes

[19:28] Kylie: good one!

[19:28] Pru: hopes her RezDay isn't during the hurricane again

[19:28] Gabrielle Riel: it is

[19:28] Kylie: Oh, I wish mine was!

[19:28] Pru: :(

[19:28] Gabrielle Riel: It's the 19th, right?

[19:28] Alas Sturges takes flask, shrugs, and takes a gulp before handing it back.

[19:28] Pru: yes

[19:28] Kylie: Trade you, Pru

[19:28] Gabrielle Riel: Right in the middle!

[19:29] Pru: I'll work it out

[19:29] Gabrielle Riel: I will, as I always do, be playing the post-hurricane party at The Nightingale on Sunday evening the 20th from 7-8:30pm SLT.

[19:29] Iliana Cerise: We can't have a Hurricane Rezday party?

[19:29] Gabrielle Riel: I am sure Sugah’s will have their usual line-up of events throughout the weekend as well.

[19:29] Kylie: I think it would be fun to have a rez day Hurricane party

[19:29] Pru: We can, but it was done last year. :)

[19:30] Gabrielle Riel: If you would like to host a hurricane party, please let me know! I welcome any and all parties! We’ve got the DJs in the estate, so invite you all to step up and have a party! Just please contact me as soon as you can so I can put you on the schedule.

[19:30] Alas Sturges: Surely you can't have enough hurricane rez-day parties?

[19:30] Gabrielle Riel: We will need a Friday night party that is evening SLT

[19:30] Gabrielle Riel: And we will need the same for Saturday night

[19:31] Gabrielle Riel: If you want to do something during the day, that is fine too!

[19:31] Pru: It looks like my RezDay will be Wednesday

[19:31] Kitty whispers: i think purrrhaps me and Iliana could be purrrrsueded to have a party

[19:36] Emmanuelle Huntress: Gomez?

[19:36] Princess Selena: Gonad?

[19:36] Pru: hahaha

[19:36] Kitty: Gomez

[19:36] Iliana Cerise: It's officially Gabrielle!

[19:36] Emmanuelle Huntress: Nuts.

[19:36] Gabrielle Riel: I think we are all still drunk from Saturday in RL

[19:36] Kitty: Hi Bug man!!

[19:36] Princess Selena: hey there Mr Bug

[19:36] Pru: hahaha

[19:36] ÅL? RÅ??N: Gabriel

[19:36] Gabrielle Riel: Mr. Breitman!

[19:37] Eclectric Breitman: What did I miss?

[19:37] Iliana Cerise: Go Fish?

[19:37] Gabrielle Riel: Hello!

[19:37] Kylee Gracemount: Hi

[19:37] ÅL? RÅ??N: Gunter

[19:37] Gabrielle Riel: The whole tea. You'll need to read the transcripts.

[19:37] Kylie: You missed me, right Eclectric?

[19:37] Scout MacLeod: mr breitman

[19:37] Eclectric Breitman: I sure did!

[19:37] Gabrielle Riel: My spiel is short this year

[19:37] Gabrielle Riel: No new residents at tea tonight

[19:37] Pru: Hello, Mr. Architect

[19:38] Gabrielle Riel: So what that means is that I get to put the info in some other form

[19:38] Gabrielle Riel: and force feed it to the new residents

[19:38] Gabrielle Riel: So that they know about it!

[19:38] Kitty: hahah

[19:38] Kylie: *still sitting on my hands*

[19:38] Gabrielle Riel really does not feel like another "WHAT is this water in my gallery!?" IM situation.

[19:38] Princess Selena: I have a neato machine that might help you, Gabi

[19:39] Princess Selena: you put in a list of people and it will pass on your message to them when they are next online

[19:39] Eclectric Breitman: Ha! That was hilarious.

[19:39] Iliana Cerise: One of those newfangled mimeographs?

[19:39] Eclectric Breitman: Well, for us.

[19:39] Gabrielle Riel: I had an oblivious resident in New Toulouse one year.

[19:39] Princess Selena: I think the Casperlet will do it too

[19:39] Eclectric Breitman: Not so much for the gallery.

[19:39] Gabrielle Riel: As Mr. Breitman remembers!

[19:39] Scout MacLeod: haha what did the oblivious resident say

[19:39] Kylie: Gabi, you will still get those, I fear....

[19:39] Eclectric Breitman: The watercolors were ruined!

[19:39] Gabrielle Riel: *I* was offline when she had her meltdown in group chat.

[19:39] Kylie: *makes a note to IM Gabi about water in my gallery*

[19:40] Gabrielle Riel grins

[19:40] Eclectric Breitman: I raised the waterline to the second floor.

[19:40] Mari Moonbeam: she freaked out like the water would wreck her stuff

[19:40] Gabrielle Riel: I missed the meltdown

[19:40] Kylie: ROFL

[19:40] Gabrielle Riel: But I think a few folks here saw it

[19:40] Gabrielle Riel: Oh the drama!

[19:40] Iliana Cerise: Oh, brother

[19:40] Princess Selena: I had my house built just so it wouldnt flood, so no melt down from me.

[19:40] Mari Moonbeam: I said derender the water ...but she was derendered herself

[19:40] Gabrielle Riel: LOL!

[19:40] Emmanuelle Huntress: I was there

[19:40] Kylie: Dang I missed that drama!

[19:41] Gabrielle Riel: It happened years ago - 5 I think?

[19:41] Kylie: Oh well, that's why then

[19:41] Iliana Cerise: That's totally ridiculous

[19:41] Mari Moonbeam: now if it happened, I'd send in schools of fish

[19:41] Scout MacLeod: omg

[19:41] Gabrielle Riel: It was :-)

[19:41] Scout MacLeod: i would laugh so hard

[19:41] Iliana Cerise: lol Mari

[19:41] Gabrielle Riel: The residents jumped all over her in chat

[19:41] Emmanuelle Huntress: she wigged the heck out

[19:41] Pru: I think The Conservatory is still the highest ground in St. John Woods, so all are welcome to take refuge there if they wish

[19:42] Kylie: Yayyyy, Pru

[19:42] Iliana Cerise: whoo hoo!

[19:42] Kylie: I spent the night there last year

[19:42] Gabrielle Riel: "Honey, have you not been paying attention to all the notices about this for the last month?"

[19:42] Pru: yes!

[19:42] ÅL? RÅ??N: Hurricane Gershwin

[19:42] Kylie: Pics to prove it!

[19:42] Scout MacLeod: oh ty pru!

[19:42] Pru: :)

[19:42] Eclectric Breitman: GERSHWIN!

[19:42] Gabrielle Riel: I am sure I will get at least one IM this year

[19:42] Iliana Cerise: lol Ali

[19:42] Gabrielle Riel: "whaaaat is this?"

[19:42] Kylie: well, share with us "oldbies"

[19:43] Alas Sturges: Hurricane Greta Garbo

[19:43] Princess Selena is truly surprised that Mr B didnt say Ger-shwing

[19:43] Kylie: so we can laugh too

[19:43] ÅL? RÅ??N: boy

[19:43] Gabrielle Riel: Hurricane God Damned Duchess of Carntaigh

[19:43] Eclectric Breitman: Hurricane Gustav

[19:43] Kylie: Starts with a G

[19:43] Eclectric Breitman: Hurricane Gudanov

[19:43] Gabrielle Riel giggles....Hurricane Gilbert

[19:43] Gabrielle Riel grins at Selena

[19:43] Princess Selena: Gatsby

[19:44] Iliana Cerise: Gustav! That is the hurricane I moost hav!

[19:44] ÅL? RÅ??N: I like Gatsby

[19:44] Iliana Cerise: Guillermo

[19:44] Gabrielle Riel: There are a few G names I could use that would have ALL sorts of meaning!

[19:44] Eclectric Breitman: GATSBY! GATSBY!

[19:44] Kylie: I don't know why but G-string keeps popping into my head.

[19:44] Princess Selena: \o/

[19:44] Iliana Cerise: winks at Gabi...

[19:44] Pru: Galileo

[19:45] Pru: Figaro

[19:45] Princess Selena starts singing

[19:45] Pru: hahaha

[19:45] Princess Selena: :D

[19:45] Gabrielle Riel: It's 1917, we are in the process of becoming The Lost Generation, but we are not there yet, so no Gatsby ;-)

[19:45] Iliana Cerise: A destructive force that arrives and leaves? Who might that be?

At this point the chat veered into RL info that I (Gabrielle) do not want to include in this transcript.

[19:49] Gabrielle Riel: Let me say this - official tea end here!
