Second Chances: the Network

Is it going to bother anyone if I sleep on the roof?

Side note: maybe practice flying close to the ground before you stretch those new wings I'm seeing crop up. I'm guessing they don't come with how-to-fly instincts and you don't want to catch a thermal before you know how to handle it.

This place is something.

Right.

Hey, how's it going? Name's Hadie. I just arrived, as I'm guessing people can tell. I wasn't expecting this little trip, but I'm guessing it will be am adventure. ...where's the nearest place to get something fresh to eat?

I'm officially signed up for college classes at San Francisco State for the spring semester. I wasn't even sure if I was going to continue with college here, but hey, I might as well, right?

I'm not sure if I'm going to continue with the business route here, so I'm undeclared for now. Though I am going to see if there's an archery team. I also signed up to learn ASL. Never hurts to pick up new skills, right?

Anyone ever done Secret Santa here before? Looks like it could be fun.

Since we went away last year, are we staying here this Christmas? I want to put up a big tree and invite people around for a proper party.

I've been thinking about things to do for our community after last month. The brunches are nice, but I keep having that line from RENT in my head, "The opposite of war isn't peace, it's creation." So, I'm thinking we should do a community art show in the building. I know a lot of folks here have creative talents (I'm not going to name names, but I may come find you later)

Bonus: I need to do an art show this semester, and I think it'd be great to host it in our building. Two birds, one stone.

So, if you want to submit something(s) for the art show, let me know. I'm thinking early to mid Decemeber? That's enough time to throw something together, right?

So this is new. Which I'm sure you get all the time. Jack Wilder. You wouldn't know the name which kind of hurts, ego wise.

The government types? Seem a little stressed. A little disorganized. I got sent on my way, told I should do a thing on this thing. Anyone want to add a security badge to their collection? Also, I'm looking for takeout suggestions. East coast, best coast or something.

WHO IS WAVERLY? (Hi, new roomie I guess and I'm en route)

I don't know if this will work

Louis and I are stuck and there's barely no service and it's nearly light we're underground.

[Pretend this was posted in the early morning hours]

Just a quick note to wish our darling Claudia a happy birthday. You are so very loved, cherie. The world is yours tonight; anything you wish to do, just say the word.

Louis and I hope you love your gift.

PUPPIES!

That's it. That's the post.

I'm not posting this to demand well wishes or whatever. More to poke fun at myself. I turned 29 yesterday and with everything that has been going on I actually forgot my own birthday. Who does that?? The last birthday of my 20s went out not with a bang but a whimper.

I should have lined up a dinner date with some rando. At least made the day weird.

And thank you for the birthday pancakes and overall breakfast. That was sweet and thank you for not making too much fun of me for being so confused as to why it was happening.

The gift basket was super sweet. Thank you. It was a weird day and I can't believe I actually forgot.

[ filtered; Jason Todd ]

And YOU. Thank you. I love the shirt, the gift card will be put to very good use. And it means a lot that you remembered while dealing with everything you are.

Think I could use a drink or ten. Decent bars? Ain't talkin nothin fancy.

Anyone want leftover Rootbeer?...Can't say I'm a fan.

... Yeah I'm not sticking around for whatever this is. Who wants to go for a joyride?

Check in, please.

I think those of us who haven't been ourselves the last two weeks seem to be back to normal, but it may still be continuing? I'm a bit confused on that front.

It is strange, seeing the date and realizing that I have been here nearly a year already. It is the longest I have lived outside of New Orleans since I moved there in 1910. And in a surprising turn of events, it would seem most of you have not grown too annoyed with me or weary of my being here.

While I know there are many festivities already happening this weekend, I would like to celebrate my time here, though I am unsure how. An evening gathering in the outdoor commons on the 5th floor, perhaps?

[LOUIS DU LAC]

Which means it is nearing a year for you, as well, though there are at least a few more weeks until then. We ought to make a whole night of it to celebrate our being together again, oui?

Since my birthday is in the middle of the week, would people prefer doing a get together the Saturday before (the 21st) or the Saturday after (the 28th)? I'm thinking dinner and a bon fire at night on the beach is probably going to end up being the best option.

We're alive. Corsica is wonderful. The food and the beaches and the company are amazing.

You two hanging in there? Everything okay?

How are things going?

If you have not yet seen our little musical trio (and by that I mean myself, Allison, and Waverly) down at the pirate stage, you are missing out. We are having quite the good time and the patrons seem to be feeling incredibly generous with their tips.

[LOUIS & CLAUDIA]

And how are you both faring with your respective endeavors? Claudia, mon cher, I have seen you as the princess of the court. You look beautiful.

School is almost over for the year and my birthday is in about a month. I want to plan something fun for it, but I dunno what. I'm turning 18, so it kind of feels like one of those big birthdays or something.

And if you want me out of your hair once I'm legally old enough, I can talk to whoever I need to about getting my own apartment.

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.
