Girl Afraid

May 12, XXXX

4:45 AM

"Shit," you think to yourself as you realize you're going to be late for school

Yes, your school usually doesn't start till 7 AM, but you have a field trip today, and the bus leaves at 5:30 AM.

"Ms.Rose is gonna kill me if I'm late again! Where did I put my bag? Where are my earbuds?" you whisper to no one in particular

You had a million thoughts running in your head, but one thing was sure, you were so late.

You still had to grab your phone, eat breakfast, put on your clothes, do your hair and makeup on the bus, and run towards the bus and then maybe you can make it in time.

You rush downstairs to get breakfast and realize you don't have to be as quiet because it's empty in the kitchen.

You quickly eat breakfast and finish your morning routine before making it out the door.

It's 5:43 when you make it onto the bus, Ms. Rose was waiting on you and thankfully didn't you much of a hard time.

"Ms.y/n, please be more considerate of others time next time."You sat down next to your "friends"

You don't fully consider them your friends, they're too full of themselves and you all know none of you guys are friends, just close acquaintances.

After finishing the coffee you brought onto the bus ride, doing your hair and makeup, and taking a quick nap while listening to music, you finally made it.

Alchemax.

You were excited for the trip, even asking Dick, Jason, and Bruce if they wanted to tag along as chaperones.

They said no, which you both understood and were also sad about but, whatever, who cares? Anyways- you're at the coolest place!

It's perfect for someone who wants an internship that would look great on your resume.

Why do you want that resume? You don't know. Maybe it's so you can impress your family? You aren't fully sure.

Before you question yourself further, you get off the bus, along with your schoolmates.

You hear them all chatting about whatever, but it's clear to everyone that you are the most excited to go on this trip.

You, who wouldn't shut up about it despite everyone at school and home telling you to. You, who kept bouncing off walls while talking about it. You, who constantly wrote about it in journals.

Nothing could stop your excitement, and that was clear to others.

While you were there, you were practically the only one participating.

The only one wasnt scared to ask questions.

The one that would ask questions for others who wouldn't.

You were sure that this was the best trip of your life! You were so interested in everything!

It wasn't until later in the day after you got home at 7:56 that you saw everyone in the dining room sitting together eating, like usual, without you.

Every time you saw them together your heart broke a little more.

You tried to not make a scene and just walk away quietly, and it worked!

With everyone but Alfred.

"And where have you been, young miss?" He asked in an authoritary tone.

"I've been on a field trip in Alchemax! I just got back! It was soo fun, why?" you asked, knowing what he was going to ask.

"Wouldn't you like to have dinner with the others?" it's clear he just wanted the others to notice you, he knew you've tried so hard to be with them.

"it's alright, Alfred. I grabbed lunch with my friends earlier, I'm still full!" you said enthusiastically. It wasnt a lie, afterwards you all went to your favorite fast food place, batburger. You're sure theres no better fast food place than batburger.

"Oh, that's quite alright then." as soon as he said that you went upstairs to get unready and unpack for the day. you didnt notice Jasons slight dissapointment on his face when you refused and walked away.

It's good that it was a Friday, you could rest tomorrow.

You didn't notice how you accidentally took Project 111 with you. Mustve sneaken in your bag while you went to the bathroom while at Alchemax.

It took you a while to open your bag due to you getting ready for bed, and you screamed when you saw a spider in your bag and crawling onto your hand.

"FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK STOP CRAWLING ON ME LEAVE ME ALONE WHERE DID YOU COME FROM GO AWAY!" the stupid spider kept crawling on you.

It's honestly suprising no one heard you scream. Either that or they didnt care.

You didnt know what to do. You hate spiders.

It took you minute or two of just flailing before actually doing something.

You tried to reach for your nearest hairbrush to hit the spider with, only to accidentally hit yourself anywhere but where the spider was. Thats gonna leave a mark.

The spider, project 111, ended up biting you on the wrist. You ended up killing it with your hairspray.

You started panicking on whether you would die or not, you may have cried a little before realizing you were being a tad bit dramatic.

You realized the spider didn't look like the venomous ones you researched online while trying to find common ground with Damian back when he was new

So you decide to keep this to yourself, a nice little secret.

3:37 AM

You woke up sweating, panicking, hot, cold, tired, wide awake, hungry, full, thirsty, not thirsty.

You didn't know what was happening.

You forced yourself to fall back asleep.

it's around 12 PM when you wake up again.

You hope it was just a weird nightmare.

You realize you woke up late to breakfast, which was usually at 9:30 for you, so on your desk was some cold breakfast Alfred left for you.

While eating it, you thought about what happened.

Was it a dream? Was it a sign? Were you high?

You start walking in circles trying to figure out what it could all mean...it took you a while to realize you were literally upside down on your ceiling.

Oops?

Before you processed it, you panicked.Why are you on the ceiling? Why were you walking on walls? How were you walking on walls?

So many questions. No one to answer them.

After a bit of panicking and running around making a mess, you realize you sort of have powers.

You could stick to walls, that was one.

You could make webs, thats two. You could be a hero, like the others!

At first, you find it so cool!

..then you realized your father doesn't want metas in Gotham...

You decide to keep this to yourself, for now at least.

oml this is so short oops guys i swear im. tryigg my hardest but also im kind of a bad writiter 🙏

anyways the next one of these i make is most likely gonna be emu reader cause shes so silly

anyways

Sarah Cameron x Fem!Reader: Club Night

Y/N = Your Name

TW: Alcohol (usage is discussed) - btw, everyone is over 21 in this!

Sarah's POV

Losing my father was tough. It hurt me to lose him. Breaking up with John B was needed. We needed to be away from each other to fully heal and grow as individuals. I feel like I was stuck in that relationship for so long. Rafe is living his life and I don't like talking to him. Wheezie exists with Rose. Topper and I were friends with benefits all summer. I broke it off when I moved to college. Oh, I moved to college. It will be good. A new start.

3 years later... Your POV

You couldn't help it. You loved to dance. You would go out with your friends every weekend and sometimes leave with someone new. It depended on how you were feeling and whether or not you wanted company for the night. Truth is, it would be nice to be in a relationship, but no one in college is looking for that. You’ve looked.

You were going out with your friends tonight and they were bringing some new girl, she was roommates with your friend's girlfriend. Your friend, Penny, had been with her girlfriend, Maria, for 2 years. They were cute and you loved third wheeling with them. You sometimes wish you had someone to hold hands with, but no one wants what you want in a relationship and the attractive ones never want you. You were going to the "LGBTQ" club tonight because they had half-off drinks from 11:30 pm-12 am. It was a short window, so you have to be aggressive at the bar. It wasn't called the LGBTQ bar, but everyone there was part of the community, and those who weren't stuck out like a sore thumb. You were pansexual and proud of it. It didn't matter who you spent the night with, just if the feeling was right and if you were attracted to them.

We sit in Penny's car as we wait for Maria and her roommate. They walk out of the apartment and you exclaim, "Holy shit! Maria's roommate is beautiful." Penny replies, "Maybe she'll want to commit." You playfully slap her and say, "Shut it. A girl can dream." Maria slides in behind Penny and kisses her on the cheek. You turn to face the roommate and you say, "Hi, I'm Y/N." The girl says, "Uh hi... I'm Sarah. I'm Maria's roommate." You reply, "Nice to meet you."

You go to dinner first because if you're going to consume alcohol, you need food in your body. That is a fact. (Like actually please eat before you drink and do not consume alcohol underage.) We went to this diner that has the best burgers ever. They get better after alcohol too.

You slide into the booth and Sarah slides next to you while smiling at you. You all order food and you say, "So, Sarah, I don't know if you've heard, but we like to dance when we go out. We go all out with the moves. Can you get behind that?" Sarah laughs and answers, "Yeah I can. Maria showed me some videos of some of the dances." You gasp and ask, "Oh god, which ones?" Sarah answers, "I happen to remember this sexy number where you gave someone a lap dance." Sexy ... ?!?!? I look to Penny and Maria to see if they've heard that comment, but they're very much having a conversation. I turn back to Sarah and say, "I know that video because I've only given one lap dance. God, I can't believe she showed you that. I'm glad you enjoyed it nonetheless." Sarah smiles and says, "Yes I did. Is it okay if I stick with you tonight? I know Maria is the designated driver and she's dating Penny, so they'll be together. I know nobody else because I haven't gone out in this town yet. I know it's weird that I haven't gone out, but I suppose I just haven't found the right people yet. So, is that okay?" You answer, "Of course it's okay. You don't have to feel weird about not going out. It's all good. Just a word of warning, Maria and Penny get hot and heavy as the night goes on. You don't want to be around that." Penny says, "Excuse me! I heard that!" You ask, "And what are you going to do about it? Deny it? It's true." Maria answers, "That's usually when you dance and make friends anyway. We never think of it as leaving you alone." You answer, "Tonight I won't be alone, I'll have Sarah." Penny and Maria gasp. Penny asks, "What does she mean, Sarah? Please tell me that Y/N is not bringing you into her dream of being in a relationship on a club night." WOW ... just wow... Sarah says, "I know I haven't been out as bisexual for long, but I would be proud to be with Y/N on any night... But tonight, I just asked to stick by her side. You two have each other. I know nobody else. I want to make sure I have someone that I know." Maria says, "God they're perfect for each other." You exclaim, "I am ignoring you two until further notice." Penny and Maria laugh.

The rest of dinner is fun and you love hanging out with them.

You all go to your friend's house to pregame a little. He has shots lined up as soon as you walk in. Penny, Sarah and you take 2 shots together to start. Then, you all sit on the couch with your friends that are there and you watch a movie. It seems weird that you eat out, pregame at friends with a movie, and then go out, but it's your Saturday routine. And god, you love this routine. Sarah is next to you and she has progressively gotten closer as you watch the movie tonight. Her arm presses lightly against yours and you can smell her perfume. You don't want to read into this, but you do like her and the proximity to her is almost heavenly. Your friends bring over beers and hard seltzers for everyone. More people enter the apartment. Everyone says hi and you introduce them to Sarah.

After more talking and drinking, everyone is ready to go out. Everyone heads to their car with their designated driver and you all head out for the club. It's time to party!!!!!!!!!! You can feel yourself getting tipsy. It feels good. You feel free and happy.

As you all wait for everyone to arrive at the parking lot, Sarah leans over to you and asks, "Can I ask you something?" You answer, "Sure." She says, "I'm really nervous about going to my first LGBTQ club and I've only been bisexual for 6 months. I don't want to rush into things and I know I've had some alcohol, so my decisions will be not great. I don't want to hook up with anyone, I just want to dance and have fun with people that I like. Could we pretend to be girlfriends so I can tell people I'm not interested in them?" You ask, "What if you are interested in someone else?" She answers, "I don't think I want anyone else." Is she saying what you think she is saying?! Or is she just saying she wouldn't date someone in the club scene? The alcohol is really clouding my thoughts. You agree because you want to see her happy and you like her. She smiles so widely before grasping your hand with hers.

Penny looks at over at one point and I mouth, "Don't even ask." Penny laughs.

After getting your IDs checked and getting your first round of shots, you all find a table to fit most of the group. Maria pulls Sarah for her first club dance.

Penny slides next to you and asks, "What happened with Sarah? She has been attached to you like you two are dating yet you seem both happy and confused about it." You answer, "Don't tell anyone. We are pretending to date." Penny gasps and you tell her about the conversation. Penny says, "She likes you. Holy shit! That was her attempt to try to ask you out but she didn't know how so she asked for you to be her pretend girlfriend. Come on, think about it, she's never really dated many girls and Maria tells me her love life is rough. She didn't want to face rejection for real again. Also, she was practically on your lap at Sam's place. She likes holding your hand. She said she wouldn't mind being in a relationship with you. Please tell her that you like her." You reply, "You saw that too! I was trying not to read into it. I didn't want to come off as too strong, but then she was leaning all over me on the couch. You're right. I should probably just tell her that I like her. We're already fake dating, what's the worst that could happen? I can actually think of worse things, so we're going to move on from this conversation." Penny replies, "Fine... Just so you know, Maria thinks you're hot together. I do too." You ask, "So, are you going to stop that other girl from flirting with your girlfriend?" Penny looks over to some girl obviously flirting with Maria and Penny storms over. Sarah sees Penny and immediately rushes back to me.

Sarah slides next to me where Penny was just sitting and says, "I thought that was about to get intense. That girl was just going on and on about herself to Maria. Maria even told her she had a girlfriend." You laugh and then ask, "Have you told anyone we're dating yet?" She answers, "Yeah, a few girls and Maria. Maria said she'd keep it a secret. Have you ... have you told anyone?" You answer, "Just Penny... speaking of you, you said earlier that you don't want anyone else. You also said that you would be proud to be with me. I know you haven't been out for a long time and that we barely know each other, but I like you. I like you and I think you're one of the most beautiful people I've ever met." Sarah smiles widely and says, "I like you a lot too. I've liked you from the first time watching that lap dance video." You laugh and say, "I can make that happen again whenever you feel ready." She smiles and replies, "I would really like that a lot, but not tonight. I do want to dance with you." You reply, "Say less. Let's go." We hop off the bench. You hold out your hand, which she gladly takes then presses a quick kiss to your cheek. You turn to her and give her a quick kiss on her cheek, but she moves at the last second and you're now kissing her on the lips.

On the dance floor, you two fully let loose. You dance and you have the time of your life.

One - My Mom Finally Goes Crazy

Have you ever watched any race in your life? If your answer is 'yes', I bet you've asked yourself  "How can they run so fast and so much? Is that even humanly possible?" 

I used to ask the same question, but now, pursued by hundreds, maybe thousands of flesh-hungry monsters, I have the answer: yes. When your mind is filled with a surviving instinct, it releases a funny hormone in your blood that keeps you going on, no matter what's happening. 

It doesn't matter if your lungs burn so much they feel like combusting, it doesn't matter if every fiber in your legs is screaming for rest, it doesn't matter if you have a bite so deep in your neck that blood gushes.

It keeps you going, numbing your pain and clouding your senses with just one message: Keep going or you'll die. The name of this hormone? Adrenaline. I could continue my story from here, but I don't think you readers would understand it fully, so let's go back in the storyline.  

°°°

June 5, 2019. Brazil, São Paulo.

12:30 PM.

I hate school. Even though I have changed schools multiple times, bullying haunts me. I had no friends in Guarulhos, the only ones I managed to make turned their backs against me, I was beaten every single day. 

In São Paulo, things are not that different. People ignore me, unless they want to ridicule me. I don't get beaten anymore, no one scratches my desk with insults, telling me to kill myself, but I'm alone. Lonely. I try to console myself, saying that it's better being alone than poorly accompanied, but it still hurts.

Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm so sorry! My name is Beatrice, Beatrice Sunnova D'Agostino.

I'm ten years old and I study in some fancy private school in the city of São Paulo. My mom is an artist who gained fame not long ago. As I was saying, I'm completely alone. The only friends I have are my mom and...Well, I know it sounds weird, but pigeons, bugs and rats. 

I also know what you're thinking right now. "Poor girl, she's completely nuts...", but I'm not. These animals, 'pests', they talk to me. And even if I am crazy, could you even blame me? If you, my dear reader, went through everything I've been through, I highly doubt you wouldn't think like me or be friends with them too.

I'm a person of many thoughts, so I could spend days and days just narrating all the incessant questions or stories that I create in my head to entertain myself and forget that I don't have a single friend my age, but I think I need to contextualize you from reality.

Right now, I'm having math class. I know, I know, a torture, but it's the last class of the day. Then, I'll go back home and no one will throw paper balls at me, with messages like: "you look like a pig", or "why are you still here? Nobody likes you". I'll be able to eat delicious food, wear comfortable clothes and read until it's dinner time again.

Mr. Ricardo (Yes, in Brazil we don't call our teachers by their last names.), was saying something about... to the power of, I guess? I'm not paying attention, all I can think about is how today's hell is going to end in...ten minutes, no, nine.

You must be asking yourself 'Is this school so bad? Why don't you tell everything to your mom, Beatrice?' Firstly, call me Bea, please. Secondly, my fellow: This is a true hell on earth. I hate this place with all my might. Every day, when I wake up, I pray this place has caught fire, with everyone inside, preferably. 

Now, your second question: My mother became a millionaire, I know she did. But I've only been studying here for a year and a half, and I don't want my mother to spend any more money on me, going through the trouble of buying a new uniform, transferring me to another school, and so on. On top of that, I don't have much time left at school, just six and a half years...Yeah, maybe I do, but I can handle it, I swear.

Mr. Ricardo continued to fill the board with equations, and although I copied it obediently, my ears were focused on the conversation of the clique of girls behind me. Maria Luisa, Sarah, Marina and Carla. You know that group of girls in your class that you clearly see that are nothing more than bitches with some sort of Regina George syndrome, but for some reason, everyone likes them? Yeah, that 's them.

Don't get me wrong, I love girls and I think it's silly to talk negatively about their interests because they are purely feminine, but these girls are demons. They have power over the class and, if they want to, they will make children be excluded and looked down on by the entire school for simply not agreeing with them.

"You're all going to sleep at my house this weekend, right? My parents have already bought everything." Marina said.

"Yeah, but I think I'll just show up at night."

Carla replies.

"Why?" "I have mass in the afternoon." 

"If that's the case then don't even come, Carla! You'll miss all the fun!" 

They were toxic towards each other, I know that, but deep down I wanted a friendship like that. Someone to talk to during class and keep me company during recess. Normally I stay in the school terrace, talking to my pigeon friends. I sound ungrateful right now, yes, I love my pigeon friends, I really do, but I would like to be friends with some girls my age.

With that horrible, booming siren, the bell rings, marking the end of classes. Thank God. I didn't care about my material when I put it in my backpack, I just threw it in and left the room. Nobody talks to me when I'm at the exit, but that's fine. I have my headphones and my music to distract me while my mom doesn't arrive. 

I don't live far from school, but my mom insists on driving me and picking me up every day. That 's fine by me. Even if there are other people from my school who live in the same area as me, I would just be ignored the entire way, so it's even better to get a ride. I'll finally have someone to talk to.

My headphones were blasting with 'A Little Death' by The Neighborhood, and I'm sure other people could hear it, but I couldn't care less. For as long as I can remember, music has always been everything to me. When my mom would fight with my grandfather because he called me a pest, I would just turn up the volume on my headphones and suddenly I would be in another world. 

One where my family loved me, one where I wouldn't have sucked the last drop out of my mother's beauty, one where I wasn't a money-eating parasite. Well...you can understand that music is important for my survival, right?

Even if I was distracted with the music and people passing through me, I still could see my mom's gray VW Virtus stopping in the driveway. I sighed, relieved. Today's hell was over. Now, let me make one thing clear: there are many children in the world who hate their parents for not spending time with them, but not me. I love my mom with my soul. In my eyes, she is the best woman in the world. The most beautiful, nicest, most pleasant, most talented, most perfect in existence. 

My mom is my idol, and if she wanted to touch my bones, I would open the flesh of my body with my bare hands just to satisfy her wish. I hurry to get into the car and immediately realize that there is something wrong. Her smile was forced, her eyes, always so curious and expressive, showed pain and sadness. 

"How was your day, sweetheart?" 

She asks me, but everything about her attitude was wrong. "It was... good. What about yours?"

"It was good too. What do you think about eating filet parmigiana today?"

"Yeah, sure! I'll never complain about filet parmigiana..."

°°°

Even if my mom was pretending everything was okay, we both knew there was something wrong. She couldn't keep a poker face to save her life. The ride home was silent. Not the comfortable silence type. The uncomfortable one, super uncomfortable. 

When we finally got home, I jumped out of the car in a hurry, desperate to escape that strange atmosphere. It was even worse in the elevator. Other people occupied that small cubicle, and my mom wouldn't dare say anything with other people around. I know that.

Even though I was desperate inside, I calmly opened the apartment door, dropping my backpack and taking off my shoes. It wasn't a house rule to take the shoes off to enter the house, but I liked the feeling of my bare feet on the cold floor, even in winter.

The platter with steak and parmigiana was already waiting for the two of us at the table, and my mom served it to me. I poured some juice into my glass while she tried to make conversation. 

"So...nothing funny happened today?" I forgot to mention, but I hate worrying my mom, so I lied to her for maybe the second time in my life. I said I made three friends: Luana, Pedro and Zé. It wasn't a lie, I just didn't mention that my friends were...well, pigeons. But I think it's just a trivial detail, right?

"No...you?"

"...Same..." She then began to cut the food on her plate, but didn't put anything in her mouth. I can't take it anymore. 

"Mom, what's going on?" 

She purses her lips. 

"Bea, we need to talk." 

"Yeah, I can see."

My mom takes a deep breath, she looked like she was about to burst into tears.

"Bea, I already  told you how I met your father, didn't I?"

"He appeared in one of the exhibitions from your college project."

I was starting to feel restless, why didn't she tell me what was happening at once?

"Yes...we started talking, he invited me for a date and...well, I'll spare you from the details-"

"Mommy, where exactly do you want to get to?"

"Bea...I fell in love with a god."

...Uh, okay? If she wants to say this to herself, it's fine, but what do I have to do with this? I probably made a face and let my emotions very clear, because she lets out a whimper, wiping away a tear. 

"Sweetie, you're a demigod."

[stuckwithmys30lf]

It has often fascinated me how behaviors can often be passed down through generations. Although we may have all grown up in entirely different generations, I am really not much different than my mom. My mom is not much different from my grandmother. We are all strong, independent, loud mouthed, opinionated, feminists (of varying waves), and often put our emotions before logic.

“If I ever start acting like Grandma,” my mom once exclaimed to me, “hit me over the head with a shovel.” I was only 6 or 7 years old when she said this, but without hesitation I said “Where’s the shovel?” I have always remembered this during every interaction with both my mom and my grandmother since.

I remembered it when my mom never came to a single choir concert - despite being active for 11 years, even beyond school. I wondered if my mom ever had parents that showed up for and believed in her. I remembered it when my grandmother shouted at me, telling me my mom was never abused. I unfortunately had all the confirmation I needed when my mom’s abuser, my grandfather, developed dementia and would always mistake me for her. I eventually was slammed into the oven by a man 4 times the size of my 12 year old body.

Millennials are frequently billed as the generation to start breaking generational curses. Although I would love to be a mom (though I am not dying for it either), the thing that scares me the most is knowing that this kid would be part me. Which means they will hold the trauma I know my mom has endured, and the trauma I think my grandma has endured as well. Hell, they will hold my trauma.

It’s frightening to think about. Parents should always want to give a better life to their children than they had. So why couldn’t my mom do it? Am I foolish for thinking it might be different for me? Is it worth it to find out?

————————————————————————————————————————————————

Whenever I am about to meet up with my grandma, a fairly rare occurrence, I stress. Today is no different. She is in town with her boyfriend and they are treating me to a birthday dinner. While I have my own personal gripes with my mom, whenever we hang out it seems to be a “let’s shit on your mother” session. It’s not constructive or taking account my feelings at all. It’s a catty, nasty, shit talking session. While there is some generational judgment for my tattoos and piercings and style, my grandma is very proud of me and all the hard work I have done to get where I am in life today. But I think she just really, really hates her daughter.

One thing I noticed was that, despite this being a “birthday dinner” for me, no one asked what kind of fare I would like to have. It was selected for me - seafood. I can find anything to eat at any restaurant, but the hardest for me is seafood. Ironic considering we are at the heart of some of the best seafood in the country. But years and years of being told to be grateful, I chose to be. I put on a respectable outfit I knew would not rock boats. I put on a smile. I asked questions. I ordered the crab stuffed mushrooms and celebratory peach ice cream. My grandma gave me some money to get my flat tire fixed as a birthday gift.

“I don’t really use my car a whole lot. I work from home, I live within walking distance of everything that I need. Grocery store, gym, vet, postal office, coffee shop, gas station. I go out with friends on weekends but I can wait until I get paid next. I don’t find it to be an emergency so I don’t want to tap into my savings.”

My grandma looked at me with concern as she often does. This has always confused me. Yes I am mid divorce, yes I didn’t approach schooling conventionally. But I live alone, make a very good income even considering the cost of living, and I am happy. It may have taken 30 years to get here but I am. What did she have to be concerned about?

Of course, I am always going to be a part of her. Her spitting image. She is always going to be concerned about me. I would like to think that, at times, she feels guilty for not stepping up more when she noticed the abuse we were enduring. Further, like thinking she noticed. I wonder if she knows what abuse looks like. Could that be why the cycle continues generation after generation?

I give my assurances to my whole family. In various subtle ways, I paint a picture of stability. I have my shit together. I will be fine. I am not fragile. I am not sure how much they believe it.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Growing up, I was privileged enough to live in a safe and quiet neighborhood. I spent many summer days running to the local park and playing on the sprawling playground - the same one my mom played on. The same one my grandma and great-aunts hung around in high school. I used to be addicted to the weightlessness of gliding on the swing set. Unfortunately, I have traded in the adrenaline junkie kid in me for an adult that knows what medical bills look like.

Tonight, I sat on my apartment complexes swing. I took a deep breath and while looking up at a semi-full moon and began the rhythmic beginning like a ritual. Kick, push. Kick, push. Back and forth.

There is still so much I don’t know about my family or my grandma or my mom. But generational abuse is like a pendulum.

Kick. My grandmother marries a man in jail on forgery charges.

Push. My mother is born.

Kick. My mother’s biological father leaves them. She never hears from him again and we are left learning about him through Ancestry DNA tests 57 years later.

Push. Two 20 something’s meet at a party. Their romance is short lived. I am born.

Kick. My mother’s adoptive father beats her on the head. I am still an egg in the body that gets consistent concussions. Her mom does nothing.

Push. My stepfather corners me and screams several expletives. He calls me a bitch. I feel the spit from his mouth as he towers over me - in his early 40s and 6’2”. I am 13 and less than 5 feet tall. My mom does nothing.

Back and forth.

A pendulum.

And why can’t I find it as easy to stop as it was to get started?

[purplesurveys]

1850

1 - When was the last time it snowed where you live? Do you like snowy weather or is it just a pain? Uh... Anyway, cold weather is definitely preferred. We're reaching high 40s now and will still go up to the 50s in May, and it is not only uncomfortable but also starting to get very inconvenient.

2 - Are you expecting any parcels in the mail right now? Not for a while. I ordered J-Hope's album but was already informed in advance that I probably won't get it until June since my shop ships stuff from Korea in bulk. Which is fine. With BTS on hiatus I've considerably calmed down when it comes to merch lol.

3 - How long is it until your birthday? Do you have any plans for the day? Like, 363 days haha. I just celebrated my 26th last Sunday, and all I did was watch a Spongebob movie with my sister in the morning, slept all afternoon, then went to my favorite hotel buffet for dinner with my family.

4 - What was the last thing you had to drink? Coffee. The Spanish latte I got tonight had a cracked lid so my jeans are now all soaked.

5 - Do you need to do any laundry right now? Yup.

6 - Who was the last person you got a notification from on social media? Is this person a close friend of yours? That would Alex, just a dude related to work. No, I wouldn't call him a friend but he is genuinely one of the nicest people I know.

7 - Do you regularly buy things on credit? If so, how much do you owe on credit cards right now? No. I got a surprise credit card in the mail a few weeks ago (I say 'surprise' because apparently I said yes when I got surveyed years ago...? then I just forgot about it I guess LOL), but I absolutely refuse to use it. It's not even activated yet. I don't want to form a habit around paying things on credit.

8 - When was the last time you got a call from an unknown number? Did you answer or call them back? Can't be bothered to check when exactly, but I know it was a few weeks ago. I probably answered it because at the time I knew it would be someone work-related calling.

9 - When was the last time you got off work early? What was the reason and did you do anything fun with your extra free time? I don't do that, I always do the full 8 hours. Earlier this month though I did file a morning leave to attend a watch party for Wrestlemania.

10 -  What do you typically eat for Christmas Dinner? Are you the one who cooks or does a family member do the cooking? My family is never consistent when it comes to Christmas spreads lmao, it's always different meals every year! For the longest time it was my mom and grandma who did the cooking; but now that I could afford to treat my family (and can't cook hah) I buy platters and trays of all kinds of stuff so that everyone can get what they want.

11 - What time did you wake up this morning? Did you get out of bed right away? I needed to wake up earlier since I already had a meeting scheduled for 9 AM. I think I started to wake up around 7:30.

12 - Do you have any plans for the weekend? Are these plans typical for a weekend or are you doing something different? Saturday will be for rest as I have back to back events on Sunday. I'd say at this point it is pretty typical for work to eat up what little free time I have - it also comes with the higher role - but I'm hopeful this phase would stop soon. I have no weekend events booked yet for May onwards so that's looking like a good sign.

13 - Would you like to work a job that involves going in and out of other people’s homes all day? (Like care work, painter, decorated etc.) That'd be cool, but I wouldn't know what kind of related job would fit me best. I did always have an interest in interior design – I like trying to look into people's living rooms when we drive by them in the village (but tbh this is also because I live around rich people and they all have super big minimalist mansions lol), and when I was younger all I wanted to do in GTA was to have a cheat code that would let me in people's homes lmao.

14 - When was the last time you had an injury? Was it a minor cut/scrape or something more serious? What happened? Sprained my ankle two years ago. I had one drink too many and ended up tripping in a bad way over some steps on my birthday, hehe... 15 - Do you ever watch movies or TV shows that require you to read subtitles? I mean I like having subtitles around in general. It's obviously helpful when watching foreign-language shows/movies, but even for English I prefer having them turned on because I hate it when actors mumble or have too-thick accents.

16 - What accents are your favourite? Don't have any.

17 - How many people have you texted today? Are these people friends, family members or something else? People I've messaged today, outside of work, would be Angela, Lei, my mom, and sister. 3 out of 4 of these people are family.

18 - Are you any good at DIY? What was the last DIY project you finished? I'm not good at any DIY or arts or crafts, period.

19 - When was the last time you had a haircut? When was the last time you dyed your hair (if you ever have)? Hair cut: Year and a half ago. Dye: Around six months ago.

20 - Do you prefer wearing tight-fitting or loose-fitting clothes? I prefer the baggy/oversized fit now.

21 - Are you currently warm, cold or just right? Is the heating or air conditioning on to contribute to that feeling? I'm quite warm, but it's not as bad as the TERRIBLE weather earlier today. It's evening so it's a lot more manageable, but that's not to say I've stopped sweating because I still fucking am.

22 - What was the last piece of good news you received? Was it expected? Pharmacist licensure exam results came out today and I saw that my cousin passed. Yes, I always knew she was going to kill it.

23 - What colour socks are you wearing right now? Maroon.

24 - Do you prefer hot coffee or iced coffee? What about hot tea or iced tea? Iced coffee, iced tea.

25 - What are some of your favourite Christmas songs? What time of year do you start listening to Christmas music? Christmas Love by Jimin :) Kelly Clarkson also has that bubbly song but I'm blanking out on the title. I usually start to listen around the 2nd week of December, then go into overdrive between the 24th and 25th haha.

26 - If you see cats wandering about in the street, do you stop and fuss them? No.

27 - Speaking of cats, do you own a cat? Are they a particular breed or just a moggie? Would you ever want a specific breed of cat at all? No.

28 - When was the last time you moved furniture around to clean behind or underneath it? Do you need someone’s help in order to do that? Just a few weeks ago. No, it's just a decorative chair in the living room so it's easy to move around.

29 - Do you have any medications that you need to take daily? Is this something you’re going to have to do for the rest of your life? I don't.

30 - Do you know how to start an open fire and keep it burning without using loads of wood? Is this a skill you use on a regular basis at all? I don't know how to start fire.

[edwin-paynes-bowtie]

Hey heyyy I lovedddd the Thomistair time stamp day in the life you did (even though there weren’t any expressed intimidate times between the two. 😝)

Can you do the same thing for wessa?

I assume you mean "intimate," and I actually did. 8:00, "groping for trout in a peculiar river." It's an old-timey sex euphemism - in every NSFW Thomastair fic I've ever written, they refer to sex with outdated euphemisms and guess at when they're from. It's a headcanon I've grown very attached to, and I said it this way as a joke for people who've read the fics!

As for the next bit, yes!

AN AVERAGE DAY IN THE LIFE OF WILL HERONDALE AND TESSA GRAY, CIRCA 1882 (EARLY MARRIAGE)

9 AM -> Tessa wakes up. She pulls her book off her nightstand and reads it next to snoring, sleeping Will until he wakes up.

9:30 - 10 AM -> Will wakes up. They snuggle, chat, maybe have lazy morning sexy times if they're up for it.

10:30 AM -> They get out of bed and make something to eat. They talk about what they're going to do that day and Will cracks a lot of stupid jokes. Tessa thinks she couldn't love him more.

11 AM -> Will goes off to train with Gabriel and Gideon. Tessa goes out with Sophie sometimes or Charlotte, or she wanders London and goes exploring on her own. She'll usually grab lunch or a snack. She also likes shopping for household items she can use to renovate the Institute and make it more hers and Will's.

2 PM -> Will finishes training with Gabriel and Gideon. He'll find Tessa (at a pre-determined location) and they'll go to a bookstore together. They try to go to a new one every day so they can eventually get through all of the ones in London! This will only be them, it's their fun romantic outing together. They'll also often go to parks, wander about, do some kissing in flower gardens.

4 PM -> They're probably home at this point. They'll chill for a while and read, in front of the fireplace or in front of a breezy window. Tessa will also write in her journal sometimes. This is Companionable Silence Hour.

6 PM -> Bridget cooks them a nice dinner. They'll dine with everyone else still in the Institute - Gabriel and Cecily, Sophie and Gideon, Charlotte and Henry, and also Baby Charles.

8 PM (3ish times per week) -> Will goes out for patrol with either Gabriel or Gideon. He used to sometimes go with Cecily, but he freaks out when patrolling with Cecily so she usually refuses to go with him. Sophie's still in training and isn't on regular patrol rotations yet. Tessa uses this time to unwind and otherwise be an introvert. She gets undressed, lets her hair loose, and reads for a while.

11 PM - 12 AM -> Will returns from patrol and collapses asleep on the bed next to Tessa. She finds it darling.

ALTERNATELY, 8 PM - bedtime (the 4 days a week Will doesn't patrol) -> They'll spend their evenings reading aloud to each other by the fireplace. Sometimes Will will make up his own stories, which are always ridiculous, and they're always laughing. They also will stand on the balcony if it's nice out, and Will will make up stupid tales about the constellations until Tessa kisses him like there's no tomorrow. <3

@urmomsdate

Steve’s pov: I woke up around 12 today, since we didn’t have school, and Billy was coming tonight, for movies! I smiled and hugged my pillow before getting up and getting dressed.

I walked downstairs and made myself some lunch?( or breakfast) with sandwich. When I finished eating, I took the trash out, since my parents are never home to do anything around the house.

I had around 5 hours before he would come over, so  I started to clean around the house which took an hour. Cleaning the dishes, doing the laundry, mopping the floors.

I wanted the house to look nice, for him, for him to feel safe. I finished the cleaning, and went downstairs to watch a movie, which would take another 1-2 hours.

Billy’s pov: I didn’t sleep that much last night, but I woke up around 10. I had to make me and max breakfast, since Niel wasn’t home. But he never really does anything even if he is home.

I sighed and changed, did my hair and walked downstairs. “MAX COME DOWN STAIRS IM MAKING BREAKFAST.” I went to the fridge to find anything good to make. We had eggs, so omelets it is. I cooked up the eggs, hearing Max come downstairs and sat at the dinner table.

“Did someone push you off your bed? You look rough.” I smirked, getting the 2 plates. “Whatever..” she sighed. 

After we ate our breakfast, I had to do the chores, which included: laundry, dishes, cleaning, trash. The usual. At this point, I’m the one paying the bills, Niel and Susan aren’t ever home, unless it’s late at night. 

Niel wasn’t gonna come home, so I could sneak out to Steve’s and come back, and nothing would happen. Hopefully. 

Steve’s pov:” it’s 3:45, so I had 2 more hours. Which is taking forever” I rolled my eyes and sighed, so I went to scoops to me up with robin, to hangout for an hour. 

With Steve and Robin:  “Steve Harrington!” I could hear robin shout at me as I was approaching scoops.

“Yes robin?” 

“You’re late.”

“And?”

“Steve you fucker, I was waiting for like an hour!”

“Not my fault” I said before I stepped behind the counter.

“Well then, no free ice cream for you!”

“Oh come in rob!.” I said rather annoyed.

“Harrington.” 

“Buckley.”

“ ok ok, let’s just sit, I have break for half an hour”

I nodded, not really paying attention

“Hello-? OI! Dingus??”

“What what?? I’m here Jesus Christ..”

“You seem off, you seem more cheerful?”

“Am I not cheerful ever?”

“Well no. Dingus usually you just look out of it.”

“Well maybe today is just a good day?.” I smiled, “today is very much of a good day” I thought to myself.

“Oh? Don’t tell me.. YOU HAVE A DATE WITH BILLY!(she’s the only one who knows, that isn’t Dustin)”

“Yes yes now shut up!” My face got red real quickly

“Awwww! Dingus has a date!”

“Robinnnnn!”

“Okok, when is he coming over?”

“5-5:30.”

“That’s in like what, an hour ish? Or 2?”

“Mhm” I nodded, I did miss him a lot, but it’s only a few hours until I got to see him again.

An hour has passed, I said bye to Robin, and drove home, 30 minutes left.

Billy’s pov: it was 5:00, I had 30 minutes till exactly when I would be at the door. So I changed into something more comfy.

I did my hair, it wasn’t much but it looked more fluffy? I walked downstairs in a good mood.

“Someone’s in a good mood? Seeing someone?” Max asked, with a small grin on her face. I nodded “Yep, someone indeed. I’ll be back later, don’t stay up too late.” “Yeah yeah i know.. who exactly are you going to see?” She asked with a smirk. “Steve. Don’t tell anyone about this you hear me? If Niel finds out about anything, I’ll be dead.” “Ok ok, now go!” She said smiling, trying to push me out the door.

I drove to Steve’s house, driving past the speed limit ofc, but didn’t get a ticket. I knocked on the door, and ofc Steve was the only one to open the door. Pretty boy’s smile.. it was the best smile anyone has ever seen.

Steve’s pov: I heard a knock on the door, and quickly walked up to open it. It ofc was no other than Billy. He had a smirk on his pretty face.

We sat on the couch, with blankets, and snacks, since it was movie night. 

“You pick the movie?”

“Sure pretty boy, but don’t come at me if your scared afterwards”

“Ofc a scary movie” I thought to myself after I nodded.

In the end, it did happen, my arms around him, legs wrapped around his. It felt nice, just the 2 of us. 

“Wanna cuddle?” I smiled, and turned off the tv

“Mhm”

I laid down on the couch, billy between my kegs, hugging me tight while I played with his hair.

With Nancy, Robin, Eddie:

Eddie:” why are we at Steve’s window again?”

Robin: “Nancy said Steve had been acting suspiciously lately and wanted to check”

Eddie: “then why are we here?”

Nancy: “backup?”

Robin:” whatever, let’s just see what he’s doing?”

They looked in his bedroom window first but didn’t see that he was there

Eddie: “he isn’t in his room”

Robin: “we can see that.”

Nancy: “let’s check the living room. He must be watching tv then?”

Robin:” yeah yeah ok.”

They checked the living room window, and opened it, going inside

Nancy: “let’s check inside? He might be on the couch?”

Robin:” why do you care so much, he’s probably fine”

Nancy:” I- I, it’s nothing! I just need to know he’s fine”

Eddie: “shhhh!”

They looked around quietly, and looked over at the couch, and saw something.. unexpected to them.

“Shhh shut it!” Eddie whisper shouted at Nancy and Robin , and pointed at the 2

“What the hell?” Nancy stared in disgust

“how long they been there for?” Robbin inched closer 

Billy and Steve where cuddling on the couch

Billy was on top of Steve looking like a little baby and Steve had enveloped Billy in his arms squeezing him like a teddy bear

“I dont know man, maybe hours?”

“Well get them off each other the Billy freak the heck out if he notices” Nancy said a bit too loud

Loud enough to slightly wake Billy up, Eddie and Robin have Nancy a glare as Billy slowly push himself up struggling against Steve’s grip 

A quite mhhhhmmmng came from him and Steve immediately pulled billy towards himself where they both fell asleep again 

“We should leave nance”

Robin look at Nancys disgusted eyes

“no he’s the one that shouldn’t be here! What if he hurts Steve?” Nancy shouted 

“Shhh”

 Robin and Eddie gave her another glare, this time nancy woke them both up.

“Shud uuup mnghhhhh” Billy pinched his nose while Steve was slowly turning them to face each other still both hugging each other and Steve still squeezing the life out of Billy

“Yep we’re gonna leave”

They left, Nancy being pissed. They closed the window, and started walking away

Nancy: “seriously? What if he hurts Steve!”

Eddie: “ did you seriously not see what happened? If he wanted to he would have.”

Robin: “told you so.”

Nancy:” ugh! I’ll talk to Steve tomorrow about this! Maybe it was a mistake?”

Robin:” I highly doubt that, just let them be nance, they are perfectly fine.”

Eddie:” why do you care if anyone sleeps with Steve anyways? Didn’t you break up with him?”

Nancy: “t-that’s not the point. He usually tells me if anything like this is happening!”

Robin:” maybe he knew you would react like this.. that’s probably why he didn’t tell you”

Nancy:” right.. maybe we should have just left before waking Billy up multiple times”

Eddie: “right, so does anyone know where we are?”

Robin and Nancy start to laugh, and the 3 of them find their ways to their houses.

February 26 2025

Meow, meow greetings and welcome to Wednesday edition of my blog. I hope you all have been a good week. It is the middle of the week and Friday isn't that far away. Meow I woke up this morning around 10:40 AM. I quickly got out of bed and got dressed for the day. I next made my bed. Once making my bed this morning, I grabbed a couple of items to take with me to the front part of the house. I came into the kitchen, placed my breakfast bowl in the sink and made myself some leftovers for lunch. I ate my lunch at the dining room table and once I finished eating, I prepared to take the trash out to the carport. I took the trash to the carport and came back inside. The temperature was about 60 something degrees here in North West Ga and now it is 74 degrees. I took Kylie around the yard a couple of times and then came back inside after giving her morning walk. I put away the dinner dishes and did the morning dishes. I was just about to sit down and wait for the mail when the mail came around 11:36 something. I gathered up a package left by the mail person and then took Kylie to the mailboxes to gather up the rest of the mail. Meow I came back from the mailboxes and came inside with Kylie. I sorted out the mail and then grabbed my laptop and my Switch from my room. I then sat down in the living room and watched a couple of YouTube videos. Meow once it came to be 12:30 PM, I took Kylie around the yard and also to the mailboxes again for the afternoon walk. Meow it came to be 12:50 just about and I made some fish soft tacos, which is cheese, tuna and taco sauce which was pretty good. I had three in the soft taco shells. Meow once I finished that I grabbed my headphones from my room which I had charged and started this blog with my laptop.

I wrote an entry last night explaining what I did Tuesday evening but I ended up not writing in my novel, shocker right? I instead watched some YouTube videos. I was thinking about watching an anime on Netflix but I decided not to do it. I went to my bed around 8 pm and didn't start to sleep until 9:30 pm.

I might post some more ballerina art. I found a lot in the site that I usually find the other stuff. Meow my mom has to stay around 5 pm because my sister goes to Alabama for her college. I think as the time of the writing of this blog she probably has went to there. Meow keeping Kylie quiet is a big under taking since my dad works at night. Meow well I probably end up doing some laundry today. Probably when my dad wakes up at 5 pm. Nya well that's pretty much it. Oh I hadn't told you all I put up for sale my Miyoo Mini again. Yes I know I had taken it off from eBay but I decided to sale it again. I guess that's really it for now. Until later, bye.

[wilsons-striped-ties]

march tc challenge (days 1-30 one shot)

Original post here!!

1. If you could change one thing about your TC, physical or personality-wise, what would it be?

mango: I would say his fashion sense but then I've grown to like it HAHA so I guess his obliviousness because seriously I'm staring right at you can't you see me? But it's cute sometimes

passion fruit: he's too soft on the horrible students of his he looks scary but he's such a cinnamon roll, for his sanity he should scold them sometimes

2. Are they “your type”, or was falling for a person like them completely unexpected?

mango: the total opposite of my type in terms of likes and personalities, hence it was entirely unexpected

passion fruit: his likes are more my type but it was also unexpected because I already had one tc I didn't expect to like another (albeit this one not as strong but still considered)

3. If they were an ice cream flavour, what would it be?

mango: butter pecan??? chocolate chip cookie dough????? or maybe just plain vanilla/chocolate since he isn't the most complicated of people but it's sweet and simple, possibly even a little more complicated the more you eat it

passion fruit: maybe something like rum and raisin or coffee chip something that needs an acquired taste and probably is more expensive

4. imagine you have a whole weekend to spend with your tc. what would you guys do?

mango: hmm probably something cliché like grabbing dinner and watching a movie, but maybe baking too because I know he's baked at least once, and maybe grab a morning run once or twice and maybe some other sports

passion fruit: I honestly don't know what he likes so maybe grab dinner to get to know him more, watch a movie and he can pick more activities? He looks like he bowls maybe we can go bowling

5. what's their biggest talent?

mango: running, sprinting and anything sports related

passion fruit: memorisation. His history memorisation is incredible

6. be honest: would you guys be a power couple or not?

[dine-on-nervine]

I really wish all the Xkit extentions still worked.

1. Who was the last person you forgave? How long did it take you to forgive them? I have a hard time answering this one because I don't have a good track record on the concept of forgiveness. I may at times be able to set aside what they've done wrong and try to move forward, but it never completely leaves me... mostly because they then think they have carte blanche to do it again. But for the sake of providing an answer: Suzi. 10%, maybe 25%, definitely not entirely, but I've done a bit of forgiving. Not because I was wrong because I was not, not because she was right because she was ridiculously wrong on several fronts [explanation available privately since you do not know anything whatsoever if you're not a friend], but because there has been a bit of clearer perspective in seeing things in the rearview. I was becoming less happy as time passed because of how she'd changed. What people have said about her has started to sound like things I didn't want to face in the moment. I may have a few stings stinging but I am trying to put the past behind me since the future, already in progress, is different but bright.

2. Is going mushroom hunting in the woods something that would interest you? Probably. So long as I'm not the mushroom being hunted.

3. What is your favorite junk food? How about your favorite health food? I adore Wunderbars and a good spinach salad.

4. Are you listening to anything right now? Do you normally listen to music while you take surveys? Just the tinnitus and my fans.

5. What were you doing the last time you hung out with a friend? We had some places to go, and I talked her into a visit to Value Village because I couldn't get over there before I went to her house. :-D

6. Is there anything about you that might cause others to dislike you? "the more you know..." Which is true of nearly anyone, though I am sure I have my set of objectionable issues.

7. Is there anything you’re really particular or specific about, anything that has to be done a certain way every time? There probably is but I can't think of anything specific right now.

8. Are there any chores you need to get done today? I did my chores yesterday. Except for the putting vitamins in the pillbox, which I should do right now.

9. Where was the last place you went shopping and what did you buy? I've been many places to shop lately, but I haven't bought anything in the last six. Last thing purchased was milk.

10. What was the last big change you made to your physical appearance? I haven't changed my appearance in ages.

11. Are you more likely to shut people out of your life or try to fix things no matter what? Depends upon who and why. I've always sucked at shutting people out but I'm getting better at it; when possible I try to fix things but sometimes that's not worth the cost.

12. Where was the last place you went out to eat? Is going out something you enjoy or would you rather cook at home? I had dinner at Wendy's. Presently I like dining out because I don't use the kitchen at this place. Once I've got one of my own, I'll cook, I swear.

13. If you have any pets, do they seem to notice when you’re sick or sad? Cheddar did for me. Pistachio has with my ex, which is why the cat pretty much hates me now.

15. Is anything you’ve done lately going to matter in a year?  I presume so. Like starting a relationship with Tanya, for instance.

16. What was the subject of your last phone call? In about 30 seconds I will be on the phone with Tanya and the main subject will be what all we did with our day / how work was.

17. Are your hobbies something you’d rather do alone or with others? I'm good either way with Perler beading. I just have more room to work and iron if I'm alone. :-P

18. Is there anything about yourself that you’re trying to improve? Simple answer is Yes. You didn't ask what.

19. What are you doing today? Went to work, got home three hours ago, and pretty much have just watched videos since then.

20. What did you dream about last night? Your mother.

21. When was the last time you visited relatives? Do you see extended family often? My parents was last November, and that's pretty much the only family I visit. I should see my sister sometime but she shys away from making plans so that's not happening I guess. Will try again sometime.

22. What was the last relaxing thing you did? I was hours behind schedule yesterday (Monday) and that was quite peaceful.

23. Will this weekend be better than last weekend? I don't know that there will be any real appeal to this weekend, but next weekend I'm going to Leavenworth (unsure if it's a daytrip or an overnighter as yet) and that will definitely be a welcome distraction.

24. When was the last time you were there for a friend? Last Friday. I couldn't solve the problem because I couldn't replicate the problem, so I am taking it at her word that there was actually a problem that I was being asked to solve.

25. Do you have any jewelry you almost never take off? Nope.

26. What are some of your favorite words? Oaf. Fuck. Legs... and I'd like to spread the word.

27. Do you have any journals from when you were younger? If so, do you ever go back and read them? I do have a couple diaries from junior high or high school, but I didn't really write anything interesting in them. I wrote a lot more in college but I haven't read them in several years... I did look at them once and tried to figure out what I was leaving out since I didn't really give enough context half the time.

28. Are there any holidays you used to celebrate, but no longer do? I don't think so. Other than maybe Shit & Ice Cream Day, but that's coming up in a month if I recall correctly. Both of the people that I would celebrate it with are dead, physically or emotionally.

29. What was the last occasion for which you dressed up? I went to church with my girlfriend -- she doesn't attend it, she was playing in the bell choir -- so dressed up suitably.

30. Is there anything you wish you could say to anyone? I have a ton of things I'd love to say but know better. But I guess the one most recent and on my mind a few times a week is: I don't know what I did to make you ignore me, but I see more benefits than problems with it so I don't really need to know so long as it doesn't become malignant.

Its' ringing signifies someone getting a Lifetime Best Personal Record on a particular lift of a weight. It had never been rung for real until Kayla got to ring it today. I think Dana had reason to ring it a time or two in recent past but was too shy to draw attention to herself. The bell has a lovely voice.

Timmy got our music system hooked up and playing. It is less powerful then the old one, and we don't have a Blue-tooth thingy yet, but we can dance. Please don't get carried away (Ed) and crank the volume up more than 1/2 way because it is likely that the distortion will shatter the speakers. It is likely that these imperfections will not allow Timmy to get a good nights sleep until he makes it perfect.

Miss Linda is still out of town. Sweet Sue has invited me to dinner tonight, an event that has caused her to remind me multiple times because she knows that I am forgetful. Considering Sue's reputation for an absence of culinary skills, would it be rude for me to eat before I go ? A few glasses of wine, perhaps?

Sunday at 0730 and at 1 PM.
