( juli did not actually cut this, but i will for people like me who rp at work )

BECAUSE they took away our internet, which means that I can't train using YouTube videos which totally sucks because that's where all the cool things to learn were. And it also means no more email or Skype or buzzfeed or twitter or ANYTHING.

BECAUSE they took away our phones, and it's not like I even really cared about calling my parents because they're annoying but it means SOME PEOPLE liked talking to their parents and now they can't, and OTHER PEOPLE can't talk to their KIDS and that's so not fair and kind of ridiculous

BECAUSE they took away any kind of information on what's going on in the world, which, don't get me wrong, the news is usually seriously boring, but it's not like the VR was really going to send us secret messages via weather reports in Mongolia or whatever so this is totally just part of their power trip.

BECAUSE we haven't been able to leave this FUCKING BUBBLE for, like, MONTHS unless you're on the squad. AND I EVEN HAVE A CHIP. AND I NEVER GOT IT TAKEN OUT. BUT I'M STILL STUCK HERE. WHERE ARE THE GODDAMN BEACH TRIPS YOU PROMISED ME WHEN I GOT THE CHIP?

BECAUSE they refuse to tell us WHEN WE ARE EVER GOING TO GET TO LEAVE.

BECAUSE people are STARVING THEMSELVES but I like food too much so I don't want to do that and at least this is only two days

BECAUSE they took away our classes and it's not like I even LIKED class, and my team isn't even all that horrible either anymore, but still, fuck training all day.

BECAUSE they started putting people in solitary for the stupidest reasons ever like skipping training JUST ONCE or not being GOOD ENOUGH with their powers.

BECAUSE they put fucking BETTY in solitary. FOR FUCKS SAKE IT'S BETTY. BECAUSE SHE WASN'T TURNING INTO DUST WELL ENOUGH OR SOME SHIT LIKE THAT. HOW MANY WAYS CAN YOU TURN INTO DUST ANYWAY? ISN'T THAT THE STUPIDEST REASON FOR PUTTING SOMEONE IN SOLITARY EVER?

BECAUSE I'm tired of being scared of wondering when they're going to put ME in solitary, and I've decided I just want to make the decision myself - they're putting me in solitary today. And, let's be honest here guys, if they put Betty in solitary, then they're going to put the rest of in there eventually too, so you might as well get some choice about it.

BECAUSE it's my eighteenth birthday today HAPPY FUCKING BIRTHDAY TO ME EXCEPT NOT BECAUSE THEY'VE RUINED EVERYTHING AND I HATE EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING SUCKS AND I JUST WANT THINGS TO BE BETTER ALREADY AND WHY AREN'T THEY BETTER YET AND IT'S BEEN FOREVER AND I'M TIRED OF EVERYTHING AND SOMEONE HAS TO DO SOMETHING AND EXCEPT FOR THE STARVERS NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING AND I'M TIRED OF IT AND THIS IS THE ONLY THING I CAN DO SO FUCK EVERYTHING I'M GOING TO DO IT.

BECAUSE of all those reasons and probably more that I haven't thought of yet because it's not like I have a lot of time to make this decision, I'm skipping training this afternoon.

Anyone else who wants to, see you on the quad, bitches.

PS - If anyone turns this into a riot, I will personally kick your ass. I keep a kung fu video on my phone just for this reason SO DON'T TEST ME GODDAMMIT.

PPS - Fuck you, IVI.

[ rashida, libby, seth ]

Sadie got pissed at her team leader at training today and made a canyon AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE.

[ sadie ]

I can't get out of training yet, but I heard you passed out? Are you okay?

95/6 minus Sadie, Parakeets minus Sadie, Sam, Omar, Yael, Valya, Jack, IF I FORGOT SOMEONE ELSE WHO IS FRIENDS WITH SADIE LMK AND I WILL ADD THEM

Just so people know, it's Sadie's birthday tomorrow. I know birthdays are hard for some people to remember, so I thought the reminder might be good.

If you're wondering what to get her, the things she likes that they have at the C-store are: red vines, oreos, gummy worms, birch beer (sometimes they have it? if they're out, root beer can work too), neco wafers, and ranch doritos. Also, if you're 18, drinks this Saturday, okay?

Also, how are people at baking? We kind of forgot The cake plans fell through, so can anyone make one for tomorrow night? We're going to have a little thing in the lounge on our floor (girls 4th) at 7 tomorrow night, in case anyone wants to come.

Rashida, Libby, Seth, Sam

You're helping me set up the thing tomorrow, right? As her friends, pseudo-boyfriend or whatever, and brother?

[ sadie, libby, davi, valya, pad ]

Okay, if you're getting this it's because you're friends with Rashida. APPARENTLY she skipped class a bunch of times last week, and then tried to skip class again today, and got called in to the dean, and could be headed back to solitary if she doesn't shape her shit up. I REALLY do not want to have to go back to solitary to visit her, so I need help keeping her out.

If you don't care, let me know, and I'll take you off this filter. But I'll also probably think you're an asshole, just saying.

Starting tomorrow I'm going to go to her room in the morning and make sure she's up and getting ready for class. Libby, if you're in, it'd be great if you could go in case we need to wish the door open or something. Valya, I know you're on her team, if you can drag her to training? I've got the 95 classes, but if anyone's in her electives with her, or can just in general make sure she's keeping her shit straight, it'd be greatly appreciated. And don't agree to skip class with her if she asks, which even I have already done once but WHATEVER just don't do it again. Because if she ends up back in solitary she's just going to care less than she does already, and it's going to keep getting harder and harder to keep her out.

Also, if you are on this filter and are considering making me do this for you too (SADIE) I swear I will kick your ass if you don't wait until Rashida's back in shape and instead make me babysit two of you at once.

95/96

Someone do something interesting. Class is boring today

Sadie/Rashida/Libby

Trying to be the bigger person is annoying. Let's do something fun this week?

[ boy sadie ]

since sadie and juli are friends, are you and i friends and can i tell you stuff?

[ 17 year olds ]

Saturday night, Libby and I are hosting a get together, Sadie and my room. Giving you advanced notice so that you don't have an excuse to not go. We'll watch a movie or something, not totally set on the plans, but it'll be fun so you should definitely come. NO EXCUSES.

PS - Sadie, Libby and I are hosting a get together in our room on Saturday.

IN CASE ANYONE WAS WONDERING BRAD IS THE BEST BOYFRIEND EVER

LOOK AT WHAT HE GOT ME!

( not actually cut )

[edited in later] Oh, and Happy Christmas, everyone!

I like being able to drink.

Aside from that, home is boring.

Someone come visit me in Spain. Now, none of this waiting until after Christmas stuff.

Also, America has too many states that start with the letter I.

[ 17 year olds ]

LAST PUB NIGHT OF THE YEAR. What are we doing? Are we even going to do anything since the party or whatever is later? We should do something, though, since it's the last one.

Someone come up with an idea.

OKAY WE'RE WATCHING CHRISTMAS MOVIES AND TANJAS BRINGING SWEETS AND WE'RE MAKING HOT CHOCOLATE. Be there at 7 if you want to have a say on which movie we watch.

Interesting documentary, but didn't everyone already know that everyone here has powers? I don't get keeping what your powers are a secret, anyway.

[17 year olds]

What are we doing tonight?! SOMEONE COME UP WITH SOMETHING FUN.

[WOMEN OF 1995]

Sadie, as our rep you need to have Student Council petition to make the showerheads removable.

[ JODI AND AISHA ]

( nsfw-ish? )

THIS ISLAND IS AMAZING.

One week until the beach.

THERE BETTER NOT BE ANY CRISES THIS TIME.

IN CASE anyone was wondering, I got my chip yesterday, and it totally didn't hurt that much.

Quick poll. Do you prefer the smell of unwashed bodies, or the smell of soap?

AWKWARD COMMENTS PEOPLE MAKE ABOUT THEIR SEX LIVES

Graham's Lilja-induced boner
Reed gives great head
Understanding interrupts 'a beautiful moment between two souls,' with apologies to whoever he cockblocked
Hailey and Mal did not have sex (or so she says)
Graham needs a million condoms. Later he says it's for survival kits but...
Remy wears girl's underpants
Mette is really good in bed

What have I missed? Also, if you take issue with this, blame James. It was her idea.
Edit: ALSO, take a cue from the lovely Rashida and bookmark this page so that you can fill in future ones I missed. Thank you in advance.

Movies tomorrow night! 9:00, first floor common room. Bring movies and we'll vote.

Also, vote for Sadie or Ellie [edited in 5 minutes later] or Tanja [/edit] for class rep depending on what year you are!

Wondering who you should vote for in the upcoming Student Council elections? WONDER NO MORE. Here is the #1 ranked voting guide at IVI, brought to you by yours truly.

President: Nawal. Come on guys, is there really any other choice? Sure she's a little intense, but she's also super serious, and the people in charge like serious, right?

Vice President: I don't know any of these people very well so whatever Sunny. Because arms are cool. Or Allegra, because coffee.

Secretary: Guys, Rose gives really great advice. Which is super important for a secretary, obviously. Plus, I'm sure her handwriting is great.

Treasurer: Miyu. She's good at maths, okay? Being good at maths is important!

1995 rep: Sadie. Sorry, Karim, but Sadie's the best roommate ever. Also, that way if she gets any perks from being on this StuCo thing I may get some too.

1994 rep: You may think Ellie's kind of a bitch, but she's totally not. She's actually super cool. Vote her. Or vote Tanja I guess. She's shocking!

1993 rep: If you're in 1993 and not planning on voting for Brad, you're an idiot. He's awesome, and he talks to plants. Who doesn't want a rep who talks to plants? If I were a 1993er, I'd vote for him. DON'T DISAPPOINT ME PEOPLE. VOTE BRAD.

1992 rep: Robbie I guess?. He's cool.

1991 rep: Guys, Prov is awesome. Totally vote Prov.

1990 rep: How do we not have an Eagle running here either?! Harlow, probably, because we've all already seen her naked, so how much more scandal could there be with her, really?

Thank you for reading, and I look forward to seeing you at the polls! Remember, vote early, and vote often! Especially if you're following my voting guide.

[ EAGLES ]

HOW DO WE NOT HAVE ANYONE RUNNING FOR VICE PRESIDENT OR CLASS OF 1990 REP. LOGAN AND NEVE I AM LOOKING AT YOU.

Someone explain Seth's hats to me, because he's refusing to.
