I have a present for you.
BBQ at my place tonight. BYOB, I'll handle the rest. Come by any time after 6.
(( ooc: he wants to do something in honor of the BoH, but won't say it outright. Anyone who knows him well is free to figure it out, though. 💜 ))
Hello. How has your week been, so far? Did you like the cupcakes?
I talked to Mo and Hannah and everyone. About what happened to you. Mo said she wouldn't step in for me again. And I'll be [...] more careful, too.
Here is a picture of a cute puppy, in case your day isn't so good.
Oh! And I saw that the roller derby team announced their schedule! Would you be alright if I came to one of those matches to support you?
I know I haven't really been myself for the last little while. And I'm trying to work on that. And I appreciate your patience with me, and the reaching out when I've maybe not been very receptive to it.
But I need to say something and it's not really easy for me to say but please listen, okay?
I know I'm the youngest one of us. And it's probably pretty natural for you all to think of me like I'm still just a kid who needs protecting all the time. I know I'm not the sort of person to lash out or to throw the first punch.Or any punches.
But that's how I want to be.
And being that way doesn't mean I need someone else to stand on guard in front of me forever.
Yeah, maybe it leaves me a little more fragile or a little more susceptible to being hurt. But that's my choice. And I'll deal with those consequences.
And if you think you know better than me what I want or need, and act on that without talking to me about it- especially if those actions wind up hurting someone else- that [...] doesn't make you a very good friend. It makes me feel like I can't trust you, and that's now how I want to feel about any of you.
That's all, I guess. Just... think about it, okay?
→ Hi.
→ You don't have to say anything to me.
→ But it's Hannah's birthday and I'm making german chocolate cupcakes.
→ And I made extra. And I know you like them.
→ So I was thinking about you and-
→ It's stupid.
→ I just thought maybe you'd want some.
→ If you do, I can just bring them by somewhere and drop them off for you.
→ So you don't actually have to see me.
→ Just. Yeah. Let me know.
Student: Ms. Hondo, if we get snowed out tomorrow, do we have to turn in the homework?
Me: I don't think we have to worry about that. It's supposed to be relatively warm.
Student: That's what they said when we got over a foot of snow.
Me: ... Do your homework.
I wouldn't say no to another snow day, for the record.
I'm sorry I haven't been checking in enough recently. I'm a terrible friend. How are you both doing? We should get together. I can make dinner!
Everyone okay? No one stuck in a ditch anywhere?SAMUEL
Hey there. I know that the electric and heat should be okay out there, but you're welcome to stay in the guest room in the house or at least come across the yard for dinner. I just don't like the thought of you being out there by yourself.
I'm flying in to DC on Sunday morning.
And I think I'm going to look at a studio apartment on Peach Street, instead of the dorms.
