I'm terribly sorry about this; I was daydreaming in line at the shoppe today about how it's a shame that seals aren't really associated with the hols, not like polar bears are, at any rate, and then I thought that they might feel bad about not being noticed like that, and then one thing led to another, and the seal happened near my old neighborhood.

I'm glad that they found her, though! Feel a bit bad about it; she must have been awful confused. Happy Christmas, seal!

I know a lot of people don't like it when a holiday and their birthday line up, but I never minded sharing a birthday with Christmas. I was always off for it, after all, and we had plenty of food and visitors and I never wanted for presents. Things got awkward after the Chattering Order of St. Beryl started coming by when I turned twelve to see if my opinion on ending the world had changed, but they were at least always gracious about it and agreed to sing a very stirring rendition of Good King Wenceslas when I told them to pretend that they were carolers so as not to upset Mum and Dad. If there's one thing to know about Satanic nuns, they're very adaptable and their fruitcake has all sorts of things in it.

Anyway, I'm finishing up the last of my examinations this week; my entry into the school year was belated and still a little confusing but everyone's working very hard to ensure that I'm not too far behind. I was wondering if, speaking of carolers, anyone would like to join me in singing a few songs for the homes for the elderly next week? I've already spoken to a few administrators who would be happy to have some visitors. Let me know if something like this would appeal to you, and I'll sign you up.

I do suggest we avoid any references to grandmothers getting run over by reindeer, though. That seems like something the elderly could get sensitive about.

I went truly insane with the shopping yesterday. I discovered this store from another early morning shopper and now all of Church's shelves smell like artificial watermelons. And his socks are finally in some sort of order.

I also have three sets of shelving that I don't need. Would anyone like them? I'll personally install them for you.

So through no fault of my own, we're down a turkey. I'd just taken it out of the freezer and was getting ready to brine it and turned my back for a second and Ivan... helped. A lot.

I'm probably going to have to sell my soul downtown, but either way, there will be a replacement turkey. And probably every last one of these too, because ugh I hate it when everything is not perfect.



And it's not even December.

Alright, Mr. Antichrist. Want to get into some trouble?

I actually really don't mind the puppet spell, because it takes the edge off wondering if when I go insane listening to the same ten-song set of Christmas carols from Halloween to New Years at work how much damage I could actually do to my coworkers.

Why? WHY? WHY???

This is all a bit "second verse, same as the first" isn't it?

Hello, I'm Adam Young. I was here a few years ago, but they said it was different, then, with different people. I knew a Regina Mills? And a Jean Grey? Stiles Stilinski did my homework once; that was very nice of him. I've been back in England these last few years after the portal sent me home. I haven't ended the world or anything, so I guess you could say that it's business as usual.

It's nice being back in Hawaii! Albeit very unexpected.

Ah, the memories. And I only had one kid.

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?

Well then.




I guess there's nothing like a refreshing and unexpected drop in the ocean to start the day off right. And here I was thinking I'd be spending the whole day in the the African heat.

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.

I am beginning to think that I infinitely prefer a quill to this typing business.

Regulus Black. Hello, Muggles. How are you? (Is this how you do it?)

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.

Dear People of 2014,

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Sincerely,

Me

I finally found an after school job, and while working at the Kama‘aina Pet Hospital isn't as cool as working on a pirate ship or on a special supernatural task force it'll help keep me out of trouble and help Mom pay for groceries. I wasn't really aware of how much one werewolf ate until I saw what the grocery bill for multiple of them look like.

You would think by now I'd have this figured out How do you know when you're trying to help someone that you're actually doing more harm than good?

What the actual fuck.

Why do I have so much hair?
