I feel as if I am wasting my time here. I want to do something with my life. I feel like I was freed from that hell for a reason, but I don't know what I can do here to make a difference. I'm not a doctor, I don't know enough to teach. I can bake and knit, but everyone here seems rather...self-sufficient. I know they don't need me. I just feel...rather unneeded here. It makes me a little sad, but I don't know what else I can do.

	Maybe you could open your own bakery? I feel like I'm taking advantage of you but since you're looking for something to do I would very much like baby blankets for my little boys. They aren't due for a couple months yet so there's plenty of time. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I wouldn't have any idea how to run a business! Baby blankets? I can certainly do that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well it isn't as if you have to worry about money here, it seems like a good way to start learning how, if you would be interested in that sort of thing. Thank you! I'm sure they'll appreciate them once they're old enough to understand, and I will before that. :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It just feels very strange not to have someone to care for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well you have Mr. Connor there don't you? He seems kinda grumpy though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He can do so much for himself, though! It seems these days that men are so much more self-sufficient. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well we've kind of insisted they be that way, and share more of the household chores. At least since my mom's generation for sure, maybe Grandma's too. Plus he's a bachelor right? Surely he must appreciate your cooking, bachelors are usually horrible cooks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He actually is quite a good cook. So is Mr. Peter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The only other thing I can offer is helping me out with the twins once they're born if you want to do that, opening a bakery with Amanda sounds like a great idea though. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Would you be so kind as to make a scarf for Aragorn for me? I never really learned how to work with yarn. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	of_lyrnessus 2013-01-30 12:40 am UTC (link)
	Yes, of course. What colors would you like? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isabellane 2013-01-30 12:43 am UTC (link)
	Black and white. They're the colors of his kingdom. Thank you so much (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's not a problem. Not at all. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm feeling rather useless at the pub and I am good at baking as well. Perhaps we could find a space and open a bakery together? It would be something to do, anyway. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	of_lyrnessus 2013-01-30 12:41 am UTC (link)
	If you could do the business part of it, that would be wonderful. I wouldn't have any idea how to do that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	amandameyerson 2013-01-30 12:44 am UTC (link)
	I could definitely do that. I think there might even be a bakery somewhere on the island. Do you want to go looking and see if we can find a good spot? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	of_lyrnessus 2013-01-30 12:47 am UTC (link)
	Yes, of course, we can do that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	amandameyerson 2013-01-30 12:49 am UTC (link)
	We can go in the morning when it's light out. How about we meet outside the apartments at 10? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	of_lyrnessus 2013-01-30 12:50 am UTC (link)
	I can do that! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	amandameyerson 2013-01-30 12:50 am UTC (link)
	Perfect. I'll see you then. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'd like to surprise my sister with a shawl. Do you think you could make something like that? Her favorite colors are green and blue. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yes, yes of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Trust in the Force, you will find your place in this world soon enough. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Trust in the what? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	genepunk 2013-01-30 01:32 am UTC (link)
	I'm sorry, I forget sometimes that most people here don't know what the Force is. I would be happy to explain it sometime, but for now let me rephrase and say 'trust in yourself'. You will find a role if you let it come naturally and don't try to fit yourself into something you find uncomfortable. You must do what you feel is right. (Reply to this) (Parent)
