Second Chances: the Network

While the rest of you are doing those dungeons being critter fighting badasses (I don't even know the names of these things wtf??), SOME of us have the biggest month of the year to prep for!

But your girl is TIRED and STRESSED and I can only come up with so many ideas before burnout SO.

First year we did weekend themes and honestly, I can not picture doing better than that and maybe I shouldn't try?

The next year the theme was mostly just live music.

Then last year (God I can't even believe we've been open three years) I was dealing with losing David and I just kinda winged it and ended up with themed nights for the last week of June.

So I turn to you, my beautiful displaced people, but ESPECIALLY my LGBTQIA+ displaced people. What would YOU like to see celebrated at Edge of Glory for PRIDE month? I've got permission to have under 18 till 9pm but last year we did an entire night devoted to Teen Night and I'm not opposed to doing it again (and since no alcohol is served, we can stay open to teens later, bonus). Any other ideas? All suggestions welcomed and reviewed and if the club can't make it happen, I can use my connections to make sure someone around the city can pull something off!

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

Finally. Finally.

I have started making a list of all the things I would like to try while I can. The internet says it is a bucket list. Dustin and I talked about a cruise but there is a lot of places in the world to see.

Where is one place everyone would go if they could and what is everyone's favorite food to eat?

Don't tell anyone, but I totally played hooky today.

No reason. Just because. Certainly nothing to do with a random "national day of" or anything.

Not a bad album, but time to switch it out for something else.

I'm getting really tired of all of this rain. I'm sure the first nice day, we're all going to be out enjoying the sun.

Didn't expect to have a birthday with a tail, but it's definitely better than the last few. Did make dancing harder, but once you dry off, good to go??

AND I landed a job (thanks for the tip, Cisco, you're brilliant!) and I had to come up with about 4 excuses to postpone orientation and onboarding because it WON'T STOP RAINING and I'm a girl who needs a magical portal directly from one inside to another inside or else I'm going to be an exhibit at the museum and not, you know, an exhibits coordinator.

I once told my partner Steve that I hated Hawaii because of the water. I don't think he bought it, but there is also too much rain here. I thought Seattle was the wet state.

Went to take a shower, wound up with a mermaid tail.

If anyone needs me, I'll sitting on some rocks, luring sailors to their demise.

I'm a majestic mermaid!

Look how pretty it is!

Did anyone else get wet? Let me see yours!

Happy Easter, everyone. Peter, I won't let the bunny near you.

If anyone needs a place to eat tonight, I am serving ham with all the trimmings at six. There is plenty.

The thing about sitting in a pile of puppies for hours is... I mean, I feel like they knew this would happen. I feel like it's the whole reason they did it. And we became best buddies. And I went and visited her at the rescue. Twice. Perks of living alone, no roommate to approve so uh.

( Cut to spare your flists... )

I have zero regrets except now I really do need to get an established job. I'm surprised they were so chill on letting me bring her home but I also am really good at twisting little truths and apparently they know about uh...what we are, I guess?

I have two drastically different questions for the masses, answer one or both, if you like:

1. Since we know time travel/alternate universes are obviously a thing, if you could actually pick where to go temporarily, where would you want to end up?

2. Crunchy or creamy peanut butter? This is a hot topic of debate in our apartment and there is a wrong answer.

First day of spring break and there are puppies in the park!

Also a new group of little Zs to entertain at the community center plus my old crew.

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.

The kittens seem like they're doing good. Might have got into an internet slap fight about declawing in a cat community though. Whoops?

What if I wanted to go out of the city for a weekend?

Months in Hawkins, but two days here. Forgot everything I learned when I went back, but now I remember again. Yeah, everyone's right: This whole thing is nuts. Definitely have a lot more context for dimensions and wormholes now.

Hey. I'm back. What'd I miss? Last thing I remember here is... uh gimme a second it's been a while... Blood moon?

[Hawkins]
I'm not really sure what to say. It's been more than a year and Mike and Steve were right. Things were nuts. But it's done.

He's finally gone.

Can we talk about the fact I'm graduating college in a few months? I'm so excited.

I thought I would get used to the wings pretty quickly, but I feel like I keep bumping into everything no matter what I do. Then there's the feathers everywhere.

Sorry about that, Jen.

[Mike]

Also sorry for the number of times I've accidentally smacked you or ran into you with them. They're neat and all, but I'm already kind of tired of this take on Will the Wise.
