Hello, Dunhaven!

Have you meet my super handsome and incredibly sweet, fun cousin, Sullivan Matthews? He's kind of amazing and my absolute favorite cousin.

And, my friends, he's seriously a CATCH.

So, for charity, you would bid on a romantic date with him. You will get dinner for two at Fontanas and your choice of a movie or moonlit boat ride afterward. Alone, with Sully, in a super romantic setting where you will be on a date with him.

Please only bid if you genuinely have an interest in romantically dating my super sweet and wicked cute cousin. Bids of all amounts are welcome! The winner will be whichever bid Sully chooses (because he will also be interested in a romantic date), so amount doesn't matter.

OKAY, COMMENT BELOW. KTHXBYE 😘

I diagnosed someone's computer today and was able to assess the issue and told them that they needed to replace the drive. They asked if they could think it over, which obviously is fine. They made a phone call and came back to tell me that their nephew Googled the issue and that it couldn't be a faulty drive and I was wrong. They then asked if there was someone more qualified, maybe even male, that would be able to help them.

Cool, cool, cool.

In other news, I'm totally over the creeping crud that has been going around. I swear I've had this for a few weeks now and it's just not letting up. Someday I will remember what it's like to not be nauseated, but I guess this winter is not someday.

Do you ever suddenly slow down and realize that too much time has passed without noticing that it's been passing? I had that moment of existential crisis today when I realized how long it's been since I've been back home. Or, I suppose, where I grew up considering this feels much more like home than there ever did. It's been over a year and a half since I first arrived in Dunhaven to celebrate the birth of the best nephew that ever existed and so much has happened and changed since then that the passage of time both feels impossibly long and short at the same time.

I also had the moment of realization that it's been nearly that long since I really wrote anything. I miss it. I miss the sound of the keys clicking beneath my fingertips, or the scratching of pencil to paper. I miss the smell of ink and notebooks, and the feel of warm paper right after a freshly printed chapter. I suppose this is a lament of sorts. Oh, woe, where has the time gone etc etc.

But it's also a statement of purpose, I think. I think enough time has passed and enough big things have changed to warrant sparing myself a little time each day to return to the thing that held my heart before Hope and Kier filled it up so fully. I want to try writing again, finding the voice that felt silent for too long. I can find my words, again, right? There's no amount of time that can take my writing away from me?. Right?

I need a new job.

REMI, BEAU, & VI

I have an interview with the paper next week and I swear I haven't felt this anxious ever. I've been interning there, obviously, and they know that the anonymous editorials were me, so it's not like they don't know me already but, I don't know, I'm still nervous? And maybe it's because everything is generally good right now? Mal and I are in such a good place, and school is almost out, and nothing really out of the ordinary aside from dream-related things is going on. So that's good, obviously, but also I semi-feel like it's too good to be true? Like something is going to happen that I haven't prepared for? Is it just me? Am I being ridiculous??

MAL

We should go away somewhere for a week. Or a weekend. We don't even have to pay for flights! But wouldn't it be super nice to just get out of Dunhaven for a little while? I could do with a vacation away from Dunhaven. What do you think?
