One.

More.

Day.

(And three days until graduation, but that doesn't sound as dramatic.)

The joys of being the father of an almost-three year old:

You're playing music that you created yourself, and your son comes up to you, puts his hand against your mouth and tells you: "shhh."

Hello, Dunhaven!

I'm pretty sure everyone knows me because I am legitimately the loudest resident in this town but, for the sake of modesty, allow me to introduce myself to anyone who doesn't. I am Charlie Parker, a senior at Athena Academy. For one of my capstone projects, I am hosting a social experiment that requires your help. It's kind of like Post-Secret which, if you're unfamiliar with it, is a project that collects anonymous secrets on postcards. It's wonderful and I highly recommend it. I would like to conduct something similar here, though it would be isolated to the network versus mailing me your secrets. It's really easy to participate. All you have to do is leave me an anonymous secret here. All comments are anonymous in that even I won't be able to tell who posted them. Though anonymous, they will be public. Comments can be anything, even something as simple as song lyrics that speak to you but that you wouldn't share with other people normally.

Please help me, Dunhaven! You're my only hope of getting a passing grade on this capstone!

[OOC: Comment with your character journals as normal, not as anon. For IC purposes, we will still assume it's all anonymous to the characters. Thought this would be a good opportunity for people to find out that others are having weird dreams, too, among other things!!]

It is 12:01AM on May 13th and that means IT'S BEAU ALDERMAN'S BIRTHDAY! Happy birthday to my favorite guy. 💖

(It also means it's Mother's Day, but my mom doesn't really use the network and also would be pretty annoyed if I woke her up right now, even if it was to wish her a happy mom's day, so I'll be waiting until tomorrow to do that.)

BEAU

I drew this while waiting for it to be after midnight, so I suppose that means it's the beginnings of birthday presents. So. 😘

Is there a major in college where all you do is watch videos of dogs on Instagram? Because that's what I want to do with the rest of my life.

Someone tell me that I don't need Spanish, Russian, and Japanese versions of Harry Potter in my Amazon wish list.

It wouldn't be Valentine's Day without food specials and a food truck is no exception. So, without further adieu, here are tomorrow's specials:

- "Don't Go Bacon My Heart" Burger - 8 oz beef, crispy bacon, extra cheddar cheese, onions, lettuice, tomato; served with seasoned "Only Have Fries For You" wedges
- "Give 'Em Something To Taco 'Bout" Pork Tacos - two slow roasted pulled pork street tacos on corn tortillas with side of black beans and rice
- "Let's Canoodle" Mac & Cheese - extra sharp cheddar, pepperjack, and parmesan with cavatappi noodles and topped with pulled pork
- "We Make A Beautiful Pear" Cheesecake - classic cheesecake topped with pear compote and drizzled in caramel
- Banana "Let's Never Split" Sundae - cherry gastrique, mexican chocolate, fresh berries, banana, and strawberry ice cream

And, if you can't make it out tomorrow, we'll be having the same the rest of the week, but with considerable less on theme puns.

REMI
I think I made a really, really big mistake.

BEAU
Are you free tonight?

WHO: Beau Alderman --> Barry Allen, with cameo's from Kara Danvers, James Olsen, and Winn Schott
WHEN: January 30, afternoon --> The first time Barry meets Kara.
WHERE: His dorm room --> National City
SUMMARY: Beau has a dream about Barry meeting Kara after accidentally stumbling into her Universe.
WARNINGS: None, really. (Although, the characters say "oh, well, like, and stumble over their words a lot, which I didn't really notice until I was writing this scene. Adorable, awkward nerds.)

( It seemed the start of a beautiful friendship.  )

TEXT TO BEA:

» I don't know if I said in as many words since yesterday, but thank you for being my best friend

TEXTS TO BEAU:

» I know that I tell you that I love you all of the time to the point of possible overuse
» But I do love you
» And I appreciate you in more than I can really say
» So
» Thank you for being my Beauregard
» (Full name required so I didn't accidentally use your name in the punny way)

REMINGTON & BEAU

He's back.
