TEXTS TO JACK MOREHEAD:

-- Hey, handsome 😘
-- Gotta work late tonight, but I'll bring something home for you.

Dunhaven, it has been Too Long. Well, all right, I was here over Christmas and I've been here just shy of a week now, but still. Too Long. Since it's been a while since I called this town my official residence, I think that I need some suggestions on everyone's favorite everything in town. I don't know what's new or what's changed and I want the scoop.

Also, hi! Rachel Marlow, here.

Not to get too ahead of myself or anything, but... 51 days until the Women's (aka best) World Cup. ⚽ 🎉 ✌🏻

DARLINGS

Will you both be around tonight?

SAM, ELLE, AMANDA, JACK

I'm not sure I wanted to, but I figured out where my dreams are coming from.

IT'S ALMOST THAT TIME OF YEAR, PEOPLE.

IT'S ALL ABOUT WRESTLEMANIA

As usual, I'm hosting a watch party at my place. There will be food. There will be alcohol. There will be me yelling a lot. Let me know if you can make it!

FILTERED TO LEO, ABBY, & DOTTIE

It's probably weird (or definitely weird), but today is Ron's birthday. I know he's not here, so far as we know. But I bought a cake anyway. If you three are free I thought we could have a slice in his honor.

TEXT TO JACK MOREHEAD:

-- Hi, babe
-- What are you up to today?
-- Lyllia's probably having the baby soon(ish?) and I'm sort of fr and I'm not very good at sitting around just waiting 😟

» Random thought of the day. We should get a place with the girls. You, Elle, Me, and Brynn.
» Crazy? Or Cool?

FRIENDS & FAMILY:

I don't know how I'm going to make it through the next two+ months of waiting and waiting and waiting some more until grad school applications get processed. I've been checking my status obsessively even though I know it's too early, and I don't know how to stop. What if Send help in the form of distractions!!!

How does romance work?? The last time I almost got married the whole courtship didn't last very long. Are there rules? Rituals? Why can't humans have instinctual, standard practices like literally every other species?

I bet you all were thinking, "Oh, good. Charlie is going to stop asking random questions about our dream lives because it's an uncomfortable and awkward topic most of the time." HA HA. No, not quite. I'm too curious for my own good and I think, eventually, all of this information will be of use to us. So here's the next topic for discussion for all you second-life dreamers out there!

What is the best part about your dream life? What is the worst?

You can answer anonymously, or not. Totally up to you.

So, good news. GRE scores came back! Everything's good enough. I hope. God, I ho Now I'm on to the next steps of 1) getting letters of recommendation and 2) filling out applications. This part will all be done by Christmas, and then we wait more and I plan a 'congratulations Brynn' vacation to myself.

That or it'll be a 'I'm the worst and this is meant to take my mind off it' trip, but fingers crossed for the former.

I will start taking destination suggestions, starting... now.

We can get victory over even the most insurmountable task with a fresh, succinct and bulleted list. That's how I got through moving half-way across the country (Iowa is half-way, you can't tell me any differently), got through my MFA and made it back home again.

That's how things work in the Craig household. We have a step-by-step list for getting through the day.

And because I want to keep getting through the day, I need to do a list for you. I've been reading through your old entries. I know you're having dreams. I know some of you are talking about them. I know that you are pretty sure these dreams have something to do with another existence, maybe even one you thought was fiction, and it isn't just fanciful creativity.

I'm having them too and they're keeping me up, they're sapping my attention, they're eating at me from the inside and it's because I'm completely and utterly alone. So, if you could help me cross this off my list, that would be grand.

Who knows Lily Evans? Or, rather, Lily Potter. She and I are sharing some brainwaves.

TEXTS TO BRYNN

» I don't know if you've checked the network at all tonight, but some shit happened.
» And all I want to do right now is hang out with you. Any chance I can persuade you to come stay the night at my place?
» I've got Eggos.

Happy first day of Hogwarts, everyone. I'm making pumpkin pasties, cauldron cakes, and treacle tart to celebrate. And by me, I mean Remington because why would I eat any sweets made by anyone else?

I want all of these songs played at my wedding. (Except "Blurred Lines". That song is, was, and forever will be terrible.)
