Hey Tali. I uh lost a notebook somewhere? And there are some doodles inside. I wanted to preface it, in case you came upon it -- they're just random drawings of ideas and things. Don't make fun of them. I blame you and all of the machines and stuff around. I'm sure they're all ridiculous, but still.

Anyway. If you find it, let me know.





I need a haircut.

So apparently, the biggest perk (aside from a paycheck) to working with engineering and technology the last few months has been the fact that I can pretty easily take apart our household items and rebuild them.

Malia, I think our toaster has WiFi now. I got a little bored?

I had a good time the other night. Thank you.

An ounce of humidity and my hair becomes an actual mane.

I mean, I've got a lot of pride, but I'm not lion when I say it's a little much.

I think I'm comfortable enough with this body and my breakup that I can have sex now if anyone's interested.

Is it cheating for a werewolf to enter an eating contest if the only reason she entered in the first place is because some douchebags implied she couldn't because she was a woman?

Because the stubborn, bitchy part of me that crosses all genders sort of made that happen and now there are people out in the world who are convinced that they saw my actress devour half her weight in pork in one sitting.

Isaac Lahey eats his feelings. It's a fact.

I wasn't aware that traveling through time into an alternate world was possible, but here we are. Silly Lucy, imagining Venice was far from home. Would someone be so kind as to explain the puppet spell to me once again? I have use of it.

Oh, terribly sorry! I didn't mean to be impolite. My name is Lucy Westenra. They told me I was from a book.

[Lucy Westenra from Dracula! Poor Lucy gets a bum deal in the book, serving as the sweet pure innocent thing who gets turned into a ~lascivious~ creature of the night. In this AU, Lucy escaped getting staked by Van Helsing and is trying to figure out how to control her vampirism. PLOTS PLS.]

Thanks for making a good Christmas for me. I know you worked hard on it, and it was really sweet. I thought I'd hate this time of year, and I kind of did, but you made it have good parts. Really good parts, I mean, that made up for all the parts where I wanted to make a den of blankets under my bed and see you suckers come spring.

I was pretty sure Santa didn't exist before the accident, but I didn't tell anyone because I didn't want to ruin it for my sister. Then after I was a coyote for eight years, it never came up again, and I guess I sort of assumed that he was an actual thing since there was already so much magic in the world. I had been waffling about saying anything about it all December because it felt like it was this big joke that I wasn't in on, and because I didn't like thinking about Christmas things since the family I knew best is either dead or preferred me being missing to found. But you guys wrapped presents for me. I can't imagine anything more boring. You did that for me. Thank you so much; I definitely would have kept believing in Santa if it wasn't for the fact that the presents all smelled like you guys.

It was really kind, and I don't really know who all was in on it, but thank you. I didn't hate Christmas nearly as much as I thought I would.



And it's really good to know that some old fart isn't going to know when I'm sleeping.

WHAT?

Pretty thankful for the fact that I didn't find out until I was an adult that I'm not anywhere near as smart as a seven-year-old.

Kind of agree about the skyline thing. It was one of the better parts of living in Paris.

Hey. I'm looking to maybe apprentice with someone who builds things. Shop classes were some of the only ones I really did well in, and I'm looking for work that's a little more in line with something I could do in the future. I'm pretty good with engines and that sort of thing, but I'm weirdly decent at learning hands on when it comes to this kind of stuff.

Thanks anyway.

Trick-or-treating was fun, so thanks for the invite, Scott. My candy collection is impressive but it could be improved. I'm willing to barter my raisins in exchange for anything-but-raisins. Please comment if you're interested.



So when I first got here I lied about my age to get out of high school, but after some thinking and reflection and a really awkward conversation about percentages-off in Target, I guess I might need some help after all. So I have a private tutor through the school system here in Hawaii, and if that works out I guess they're going to put me back into classes with other kids in January.

Are we sure I can't just be a coyote?

ALRIGHT, I'm playing 'WHO IS MY PACK' a second time. Because I need to know.

I trust you, even if he doesn't. Just know that that's what he said and if he does anything that even SEEMS threatening, let me know?

Poor little me just got put on lab duty for the next few weeks, so I'm afraid my stint with the public at the Botanical Gardens is on indefinite hold. I'm just no good at discussing climate change with skeptics! I get so terribly flustered when they deny scientific fact, and then inevitably they begin to counter my perfectly legitimate concern with 2014's answer to manifest destiny and the next thing I know, the potted plant our admin keeps on her desk has sprouted fangs and vines and is attempting to have an early dinner.

Oopsie. Does anyone know how long this state lasts? I'm so flustered, and terribly vulnerable...

Someone turn me back.

So the full moon tonight is supposed to be the last of these supermoons, right? Did I hear that correctly?

If the landlord asks, just tell him that as far as you know, that hole's always been in the exercise center wall, and "I don't even think Petra uses the exercise center, anyway".

You know, if he asks.

In a bid to think about literally ANYTHING ELSE Fall! Also known as the best season. I need to get some Real Adult clothes if I'm going to convince anyone that I can be a shift manager; I'm thinking of picking up the oxblood trend in a sweater and grabbing one of those knee-length skirts in black. You know, a vibe of "don't fuck with me" with a side-order of "look at my boots; aren't they adorable". Skipping the python print trend; I hate things that look like animals. What are we, cavemen? Gross.

When you were a little kid, and you believed that whole "you can be whatever you want to be" line, what did you want to be when you grew up?



I went through a phase of wanting to be an astronaut. I'd read a story about Sally Ride and thought she was so inspiring, and I wanted to explore foreign planets and make friends with E.T. (all aliens were E.T.) But then I fell off the jungle gym and got scared of heights and that was that. It's funny how things change.

I'd like a spotter, please. Someone who isn't busy.

I need to do a little experiment.

I know it's been awhile since I was in Beacon Hills anyway, but it's so damn nice to be able to run without having to worry about something big and bad chasing you.
