SECOND CHANCES NET

Hargreeves Birthday! Hargreeves Birthday! Hargreeves Birthday!

Also, I got kicked out of my first study group, and I can't decide what I blame more: my fortune cookie or the jerk who had terrible opinions on immigrant issues. I couldn't just let it slide, so now I have to find a new one. Totally worth it. The new one will be loads better.

Castro Street Fair is today, and I need street fair food. Who's going with me?

I have to do a project for my multimedia arts class and I have no idea what to do it on. It's times like this I wish Fig was here. Sometimes you just need a bard.

Would you happen to have any need for a music video??

Mini-golfing was a lot of fun and the hats were great (thank you, Al!)

What other things like that should I know about?

Also, I am considering turning one of the walls of the art studio into a mural. Would anyone like to join in and paint it? All talent (or non-talent) is welcome!

I have recently acquired an item that allows me to borrow books from the nearby library. Dare say, I deeply enjoy reading, so I would like any and all recommendations you're willing to give me of novels that I ought to read.

Hi, everyone! I know October 1 is a few weeks away, but I was really hoping to put together a group for the Castro Street Fair. I'd want to go early to get a good jump on the day. Who is in?

So it's not like a super big deal or anything but my sixteenth birthday is next month. I don't know what I should do for it? Other than take my driver's test, I mean, that one's obvious.

I'm calling for a Hargreeves family meeting that is actually a cuddle puddle disguised as a meeting. I'm ordering Thai.

Clint, Lila, Dylan, this includes you.

Orientation was awesome! 🥳 But now I have another six weeks before school starts. ☹️ Does anyone need any tutoring?

I feel bad, most people are having these really horrible trauma filled dreams. I'm just over here with this recurring dream where I'm missing my shots and hitting everyone in the butt.

So...sorry, friends and loved ones, if you feel something, dream me got you!

It really sucks when caffeine doesn't even try and keep you awake.

Alex, how do you feel about someone keeping you company while you play the drums at 2am? Do you play the drums at 2am? If not, have you considered the possibility that it might be an excellent idea? You'll have to let me know if any of that stuff on your list actually works, Ben.

I had not filled my sleep quota in preparation for this. I would like some warning next time, powers that be that are obviously reading all our messages.

Not to be super repetitive on the current network theme, but I found a list of healthy alternatives to use to stay awake in these trying times.

Go forth and sleep not.

If one "Googles" themselves and reads certain things, it is likely those things will not actually come to pass since I am here and not there, correct?

I can't keep the news in any longer. Bruce and I are getting married!

I love you all so much. Our family means everything to me.

I promised my therapist that I would try to be completely normal about this—publicly, at least. In my room, there as a lot of jumping on my bed, which I feel like is a reasonable reaction, because...

While I was totally willing to wait another year, I got off the waitlist for Stanford.

I'm starting the Fall semester as a sophomore as an Applied and Engineering Physics major.

Plans for the new school are going really well. I just need, you know, a name since we're almost a month into summer already.

MAGICIANS + SIGNIFICANT OTHERS

How do we feel about a night out. Dinner, drinks, catching up and all that bullshit?

I can't help but feel that Caleb is behind this shit cause, like, it doesn't compute, but I have to keep reminding myself to breathe, and I can't teleport and I ran into the door and hurt my head after being interrogated. But like maybe that hug from Julie mixed with the weird juju from Caleb and I actually did crossover and now I'm in a weird reality where men in black give me money and a phone and a computer and tell me I'm supposed to go to an apartment building and meet my guardian. And am I supposed to put this money in a bank, or can I go spend it on more clothes cause I'm sweating? Do I have to save it and be responsible, or can I spend it? Does it need to last? How long does it need to last? Will my guardian provide me with food, or do I have to get a job and buy that? The dude mentioned school because I'm 17, but I've been 17 for a really long time. And I don't really wanna go back to school. I just wanna make music, but I need a bass. Is there a music store?

Aw man. I'm hungry. Maybe this is real. uh. Hello?

I've never done a slip and slide. Who wants to witness this probably bad idea?

1: If anyone wants to take Yelena up on "hey, do you want to learn how to escape a hold" - don't take her up on it. I'm still sore.

2: NOT THE HAIR. It takes TIME to style this beast of a mane. just kidding, it's on and everyone with super soakers and water balloons are going DOWN

It's National Donut Day, a very important holiday in the Hargreeves households.

For this reason, and in honor of summer camps at the Exploratorium starting up soon, there's a few dozen donuts in the main lobby. Everyone help yourselves.

I got a variety and I already claimed my blueberry glazed so have at it!
