Second Chances: the Network

[ Filter: Friends of Stiles and Lydia + Any high school / college grads

I’m throwing a graduation party for Stiles and I since he’s graduating from UC Berkeley next week and I’m graduating on June 1st. And it seems like there’s a good number of us graduating across the board in the next month so any fellow grads no matter the school are welcome to come celebrate with us too.

Saturday, May 30th in Apartment 1603. There will be gift bags.

(Enid, be my decorating buddy? I know the answer is yes so this question is really a formality.)

This is your semi-regular reminder that you’re graduating on the 16th.

I was going to suggest dinner later and saw the notice.

Are you okay?

It's wild to me that at the end of the month, I'll finally have my high school diploma.

Finally. Finally.

I honestly can't believe I've been here for a year now. It's passed so quickly and somehow also so slowly at the same time. Weird.

A very happy birthday to Diana! I know you haven't been her too long yet, but we're happy to host a dinner at the apartment tonight if you want to invite some people over. Just tell me what you want on the menu and we'll make it happen.

If you want it mermaid themed, we could probably make that happen.

Much to my profound consternation, I must admit I am not immune to this latest round of tomfoolery. As I have already dealt with decades in Hell, I can assure you I have been unfairly punished quite enough.

This is beyond the pale.

I'm a majestic mermaid!

Look how pretty it is!

Did anyone else get wet? Let me see yours!

Did you know:

• In as little as 18 months, you could train to be a dental hygienist?
  
• The starting salary for many entry level positions is enough to have bought a well appointed cozy cottage in the country when I was growing up?
  
• One of the booths is being "manned" by some form of overly friendly automaton? It appears to be for some form of technological company whose entry requirements include far too much education and pre-existing experience. Absurd.
  
• Collecting the pamphlets and various ephemera from the oblivious purveyors has become quite the game for me as I move from one location to the next?
  
• I've learned how to make bullet points on this device? It's quite fun.

Also, you should all wish my best friend a happy birthday. Many Happy Returns of the Day, Charles! Congratulations on finally reaching Eighteen.

Well, My first attempt at baking didn't end up with the FD needing to be called, so


YAY!

Oh well, try try again right?

Since it's my birthday and I'm working at Edge of Glory tonight, free drinks to whoever can guess my age.

Correction: Boss says I'm not working tonight, just dancing and looking pretty.

[Whoverse]

I expect to see all of you out there to help me celebrate tonight. There will be dancing.

CW: Things get 🌶️🌶️🌶️ in the comments because it's Jack.

If anyone sees Steve McGarrett today, they should wish him a Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday, Steve.

There's been a new addition at the clinic. Ribbon cutting to be announced.

Having Pony join in while I did yoga wasn't intentional and he makes my downward dog look like trash next to his. But I got a load more viewers because of it. Turns out Yoga is just spicy enough to earn me some dollars 😉

I also modeled for the photography class and I look like I want to go home in every single shot. No wings yet 🙁

( pic cut )

So it seems Clint's not the only one with wings.

Probably not a bad idea to document who's getting wings. I haven't seen anything about it on the local outlets, so it seems this might be another "just us" sort of thing.

Getting real stir-crazy. Not a great look on someone like me.

Any of you invulnerable types willing to let me hunt you reenact The Most Dangerous Game underground tonight?

For "enrichment" or whatever.

I'm willing to admit I probably shouldn't have bothered, but I really thought the jeep was better at handling things like a little cold weather now.

We're all agreed it's this place doing it's weird crap, right? None of this is normal.

So like, half my class didn’t show up today. I think this weather is keeping people home. The profs are making noises like classes might be cancelled if this gets worse.

Cold doesn’t bother me so if anyone needs anything while I’m out, just send me a message.

So it's "later we'll have some Pumpkin pie"

not fucking pie. Only took me fifty years to get it right. To be fair our copy was old and scratched so no wonder I misheard.

Molly, let me know when I can drop the money in the swear jar.

It's been really nice getting to watch the city change with the upcoming holidays. Since this will be my first time celebrating Christmas on Earth, what are some of everyone's favorite traditions?

I'm not going to try and copy her by saying it's not every day that your best friend is suddenly years younger than you due to alternate universes making time a little weird even by Beacon Hills standards...

Oh, wait. Messed up.

Happy 18, Lyds.

It's only mildly concerning to me that you can do things like vote now.

I'm seeing a correlation between the appearance of turkey feathers, a strong sense of nostalgia for home, and then the arrival of some sort of object. For me, it was a particularly favored magnifying glass.

Would anyone else care to corroborate?
