Second Chances: the Network

This place is weird. I mean it does shit like steal all your socks and send you to freaking space. On the other hand, it also gives you your Baby.

My car. My car is my baby, we've been making up for lost time.

I have to admit, this place keeps even me on my toes.

I was thinking about Maximus the other day, so I'm not sure if this is to make me feel better or what, but I feel like I should thank the magic powers out there anyway.

I just have one small, teeny tiny, unimportant complaint...

I have no idea how to ride this thing.


Who's offering lessons?

While I mostly don't mind our little space adventure thus far, I do hope the replicator is better at replicating human food than it is human blood. It suffices, but barely.

It's Pi Day and I'm a 20 year old math nerd with more money than he should be allowed.

Pizzas for everybody! Get your orders in or a supreme and a cheese are showing up at everyone's doors.

Damian, there's a vegan one coming your way. So18 boys, are we still going vegan or is cheese okay? Anyone else with dietary needs (who isn't a vampire cause I don't think they make blood pizza idk)?

Mardi Gras is fast approaching this upcoming Tuesday. Does anyone have plans or is that not something celebrated here?

[LOUIS & CLAUDIA]

Whether we wish to celebrate or not, I imagine we can find a good jazz club to spend the evening, if either of you would like to do that.

Everything was kind of crazy around here for a bit there. I totally didn't even think about it being my own birthday a couple weeks ago.

Would it be weird to still celebrate it now? A birthday/yay everyone's normal again party?

Well, Readers, it happened. Again.

I know, I know. It's been a hot minute since I gave you all an update. Sorry, I haven’t been around much but I fell for it. I thought I had found my perfect match for Valentine’s Day. And well, let’s just say the Calamity Jane Valentine’s Curse strikes again.

Answer me this... how is it that someone so beautiful, caring, and smart in person, can be so cruel and negative once they have a keyboard in front of them? Is the computer screen some sort of shield allowing them to hide behind after flinging dirt? Using the anonymity of a username to block the world from seeing their true ugly self.

I don’t know. Maybe I’m putting too much thought in it. Maybe I’m just destined to be single for the rest of my life. There’s nothing wrong with that, right?

xoxo, Calamity Jane

Fuck... fuck, fuck, FUCK... What do I do, now?!

Bill's gonna kill me, for sure...
What happens when he comes back from Dallas and I'm not there?!

I won't lie...
I'm a little nosy and I've been stalking this... network thing.

This place is something, alright. At least it doesn't seem as bad as Bon Temps...

I never thought I'd be a hipster douchebag, but here we are. Me making my own beer in the comfort of my apartment. Anyone legal want to help out as a taste tester? I've been experimenting with different recipes and techniques, and I'll be honest, I've tasted so much beer at this point that I can't tell the difference anymore.

This might be a weird ask in this day and age, but if anyone's got any clothes that need repairing or outfits they've been meaning to alter, I'd be happy to take them on. I could use some more practice, and I'm sure my family would like me to finally leave their closets alone.

Well, the Horror is back (ehn?). I also ran into Matt while I was leaving for school, and he's blind again (yay?) and I guess getting married (YAY!)?

How's everyone else holding up?

Well, that was an interesting night, wasn't it? I should have realized something strange was happening when I woke up last night with cravings I haven't experienced in centuries. I can't imagine I'm going to be able to sleep at all after that, nor do I really care to, as it would seem my affliction with the sun has ceased to be a problem.

The Northern Lights were pretty. Think maybe travelling should be a holiday tradition for me.

I found a perfect place for us to stay when we meet next week. It's a two bedroom apartment and we can have it for the whole week. [Details]

I got lots of photos to show you.

[Filter: Louis and Lestat]

Which one of you is going to tell me what that was about?

I did not realize that when I woke up this evening I would find myself in quite an elegant dress, and I must say, the shade of blue is rather beautiful. But then again, a corset has always suited me. Is the tea party still going on?

Despite it being my birthday for only a few more hours, I would like to have an impromptu celebration tomorrow evening after sunset at our home. All are invited, of course. What is the phrase... the more, the merrier?

If you intend on joining us, please let me know what you would like provided for food and drinks, as I can have that arranged.

Happy Birthday, Uncle Les.

For your special day I thought I might let you have a win 😊😇

(Claudia's gift for Lestat is an elegant marble chess set)

THERE ARE SKUNKS IN THE APARTMENT, LESTAT DOESN'T HAVE A HEAD, AND CLAUDIA HAS WINGS.

Other than that, this day has started out great.

Next time I see an imp, I'm going to eat it.

If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?

[Filter: Louis and Lestat]

I want to go on a trip. Maybe back home, or maybe somewhere new. But I want to go on my own.

I just thought I oughta tell you first.
