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?

I think my official statement is lol. I guess they're sticking to a theme with me us? us at least?

» I think Prada and I will need help getting back inside.

To: Simon Tam

» We may have to reschedule our plans, or I may just be showing up late.
» I seem to have come down with a case of mermaid tail.

Signing up for teleportation duty if anyone needs to get anywhere without risking the whole half-fish thing. Just, you know. PSA.

This is not the way to help me stay Zen, weird powers that control this place.

I'm getting pizza. And cereal. And maybe cereal pizza. Do we think pizza cereal is an option?

Your girl turns 35 today and while that may not be NEARLY as exciting as 18 (HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHARLES!) it does mean this Aries diva is CELE-BRATING.

Half off my three favorite shots at Edge of Glory, no cover fee at the door, and we are playing and singing ALL my favorite songs for the night! CAKE ALL NIGHT LONG because sometimes you just have to have cake!

Guess who's back? (Back again!)

Everyone always says how weird this is but I don't think you really get that until it happens to you.

Soooo I'm good! Pre-empting everyone asking that. A-ok werewolf over here! Also I totally just lived out the same year of school back home so I guess that makes me the same age? OH WELL I'm calling it!

[[ooc: backdated to yesterday because no one acknowledged Barbie Day and I forgot AND I'M MAD ABOUT IT]]

I don't know why the entire city is stepping on my territory, but at least it's pretty!!! Remember, friends, pink is for everyone! Pastels for some, neon for others, a nice muted mauve as needed.

You know what, half off all Pink Starburst shots tonight at the club.

I get traditions are tradition. I do. But leave that poor groundhog alone. No matter what happens with his shadow, we have six weeks until the Spring Equinox.

It has always been six weeks no matter how you slice it.

Six weeks till Spring.

Six weeks left of winter.

Six.

Weeks.

Since I'm sure we've all got cabin fever and are somewhat over the winter wonderland outside... not to mention Daine's post reminded me that there's probably a fair amount of birthdays we've probably missed celebrating..

How do folks feel about a community luau this weekend? Indoors and maybe with a bit of magic to set the tropical vibe.. Some cupcakes and music...

Being a semi-hermit has unexpected benefits. No falling on my ass on the ice for this guy.

Hi. I've been meaning to get in touch with you guys, and I guess now is as good a time as any. I'm Adam. I was pre-med back home and I'm looking into getting back into that here, but until it's official, I figured I should let you guys know in an emergency, or if someone comes through who's got some "dependent on a chemical that doesn't even exist here" situation, I've got this healing thing going on and I'm pretty sure I could fix a chemical dependency to at least be to something that actually exists in this reality.

With the weather situation right now, I can teleport too, so if you need medical supplies or anything, I can pick stuff up. Just say the word.

It's funny that no matter how many different calendars I learn about - lunar, solar, other planetary ones... something about the Terran calendar year turning over still feels like a new start.

And I/we've got some good news to share. Operation: Put a Ring on It was a success!

SHE SAID YES!

For some unknown reason, the gods have smiled and Una's agreed to marry me. With everything that's happened back home and here, felt right to seize the opportunity.

Una

No take backs.

Thanks again for all your help with this.

[ooc: Identical packages wrapped in Christmas wrapping paper left for Enid and Willa at their apartments. Inside each small box is a bracelet, the moon's stone a shade of purple for both.]

Group Text: Enid, Willa

» Left something for both of you.
» Call them early Christmas presents, and a genuine token of appreciation for your friendships.
» I hope you like them. I have one too, to match.

Text: Simon

» What are you doing right now?
» I need a distraction.

Well that sucked.

Hey. Sorry I missed your calls.

I’m sor

So, people just up and not being here anymore, no word from the guys in charge: normal or something to worry about?

So, that art show I mentioned last month. It's happening this weekend! And I swear I'm not freaking out There's an opening reception Friday night from 6pm to 11pm and you should all come! There will be snacks & drinks (non-alcoholic and some alcoholic) and a whole bunch of really amazing art!

And while Karl (aka, the fog) has been extra heavy lately and is a vibe, I really need these painting to dry before Friday.

Speaking of, my fellow artists - I need your stuff by noon friday (or earlier) so we have time to get it all hung.

I need to get out of this crappy headspace. Thinking about making christmas/Chanukkah/whatever you celebrate- cookies if anyone wants to join?

Apparently it's National Cookie Day. If you think we're not celebrating in the Barton-Hargreeves-Hayes household, you are very wrong.

...not that my poor roommates aren't inundated with cookies literally all the time but that's not the point.

Anyway, we've got gingerbread, sugar cookies, almond vanilla, and chocolate salted caramel. Make your requests or a random baggie with your name is just going to show up at your door in the middle of the night. (Or at a nice reasonable 6pm, I do have two classes today)

Ray, I did not forget about you! I hope almond vanilla is okay?? Does anyone else need gluten free before I start passing all this out?

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?
