After all the excitement that has gone on in Madison, the book club has yet to meet for our discussions of Alice in Wonderland. If there is anyone still interested, I would like to set our discussion for this Saturday, 2pm at the Musain. Everyone is welcome.

[Will and Jem]
What do you think of taking advantage of the new transportation service to visit London, my loves? I must admit as to some curiosity as to what it is like in this time.

Returned text messages are one of the bad signs if I recall, correct?

You wouldn't happen to have an older Winchester brother hiding in the midst of your home, would you?

I am glad that things are back to normal. Leaving this place is not something that I ever want to do.

Although I am certainly not a soldier in any traditional sense, i would like to take a moment on this holiday weekend to thank those who have given their lives for a cause greater than themselves.

It is one thing to believe in something. It is quite another to believe in something enough to die for it.

I've only been here for three months as of today, but it's been pretty exhausting dealing with what the dome does to us.

Yesterday, I had the best birthday I could ever have. One of the presents I got was a beautiful new ring.

Pietro proposed and I said yes.

It's like the dome wants me to be an active alcoholic, or something.

I hate starting over. I want a drink so bad right now.

Feb. 17th, 2018


[info]bestofmankind

Next week marks two years that I have been sober, not counting the week that I was a teenager. I didn't use that as an excuse to keep drinking, when I got back to myself, so. Two years sober it is. I am kind of proud of myself, no even going to lie.

Okay so - who can tell me what these blood tests actually test for? Because I'm thinking of going out for one of the radio stations and I'm pretty sure you need to be tested for it?

I was having a discussion yesterday, and I think it's important to note that love comes in many forms. Not all love is romantic or sexual, and this does not make it any less valuable or any less satisfying.

Just because you happen to be single on Valentine's Day doesn't mean it has to suck, or you have it.

Celebrate love. Celebrate your friends, your siblings, your family.

Love is about so much more than who is sleeping with who.

I am thinking of holding weekly public meetings at my center for those who have struggled with addiction of any sort. A...support group of sorts, where stories and strategies for coping can be discussed.

Would anyone be interested?

Thank you so much to whoever supplied alcohol to my teenagers.

New Year's Day was super fun in our house.

Many of us are fortunate to have friends and family to spend Christmas with, but there are many others who don't. Perhaps their loved ones have passed away, are estranged, or caught outside the dome.

We'd like to have a Christmas lunch at the Old Market for them. If you don't have parties to go to, you're welcome to join us. Or, if you'd like to help out with decorations or to serve food, we'd welcome the help as well. Please contact Jem or myself.

However you plan to spend your Christmas, I wish you all the best.

[info]_mizpah

I have been in Madison Valley nearly two and a half years now. I have met many people, learned many things. My life has changed so very much since my arrival here that I am not certain that I would recognize myself.

This time of year, when there is so much shopping, and so much emphasis on giving and receiving, I think it would be good to stop and think of what we are truly thankful for. To concentrate on the wonderful things we have rather than the things we wish to receive.

For me, I am grateful for my health, for Will and Tessa, and for gelato, which is a wonderful treat that I had never experienced before coming here.

I would love to hear everyone else's, if you would like to share.

It's nearly Christmas!

Best time of the year!

I think I need some Christmas cookies and maybe a good cup of hot chocolate. And some snow and carols. And definitely some mistletoe.

So Tessa and Jem - what are we doing for Christmas? And what lovely gift should I plan to get each of you? Any suggestions or do I get to make my own decisions?

Best time of year!

What do you all like about this time of year?

WHO: Santana Lopez and OPEN
WHERE: Strolling by the shops
WHEN: Tuesday, November 28th (around 11am)
WHAT: Santana is shopping for Xmas presents
RATING: PG
STATUS: in progress, incomplete

Santana had the morning off. No classes, no school and no obligations. So she knew she needed to get on the ball and get shopping done sooner rather than later. Papers were going to be due, work at Verdant may pick up and she couldn't sit around. She had chosen to go for the smaller mom and pop stores first, hoping that a few of them could cover most of her shopping needs. With a still warm cup of coffee in her hands, she had browsed two stores before slowly talking to the sidewalk again to get to the next store. She enjoyed the cooler weather as it allowed her to have a lot of fun layering clothes and even getting to wear her boots more.

She reached to open the door of the next store at the same time as someone else did from the other side. She pulled back. "Sorry" she said. "I didn't see you there"

[info]_mizpah

I think this time of year, it’s important to remember that there are those who can’t afford to celebrate as we do. Or those who have suffered a profound loss, or any other sort of hardship.

Part of the spirit of the season is not only to receive, but to give.

I hope we can keep that in our hearts as the season continues.

[info]_mizpah

Thanksgiving isn't a holiday we celebrate in England, but I think the idea behind it is a good one.

We all have something to be grateful for, and I think it's good for us to take a day and concentrate upon that.

Myself, I am thankful for Will and Tessa, and for this place, which restored me to health. I hope that I will never have to leave Madison Valley.

WARNINGS: Shouldn't be. Let me know?
STATUS: OPEN TO ALL, OPEN TO MULTIPLES AND CROSS THREADING



The street has been closed off for the music festival. People have brought their blankets and claimed prime places by the stage. It's a lovely fall day, the weather's cool but not cold, and there's a lot of sunshine to make things that much more pleasant. Beth and her helpers have decorated the stage and the area around it with pumpkins and scarecrows and and autumn harvest theme. Food trucks line the street selling every conceivable cuisine.

If you haven't yet signed up to perform, you still can. The music will start at noon and will go until Midnight, come find a place and enjoy a beautiful day of music by the river!

It seems like our living arrangements are not as uncommon in Madison Valley as they once were.

I am by no means judging, but I am very interested to know what is still considered sexually taboo in the 21st century. Many things that were not accepted in my time are commonplace here. It is one of the most difficult things for me to get used to. The Victorian era was not particularly known for its openness to such things.

As constricting as this town can sometimes be, it is a beautiful place.

I don't think I realized just how beautiful until I sat at the top of the Ferris Wheel with Tessa.

The river and the lights sparkled, and I realized how incredibly lucky I've been to be here like this, with the two people I love most.

So...who has ideas where I can work if I have to bring a toddler talking tree with me? Because holy shit Groot so can't be left alone on his own for more than five minutes. I mean he almost burned the apartment building down by putting a bunch of paper and shit in the oven. I thought about trying to get a job at the gun shop but heh, Groot, guns. Same thing with construction. And pretty much anywhere I considered.

But if I don't get some sort of job I'll be living in a box soon.

Then Groot will probably burn that down.

it was so much easier being a smuggler

I had an interesting conversation with a young girl that got me thinking about an important point.

Human beings - nay, life, really - is incredibly fragile. Ending it is incredibly easy. I know that many of us here are fighters of one sort or another, so perhaps you can weigh in on this.

Is it braver to kill or not to kill? Does it take more strength to find mercy? I would say that indeed it does.

To ease the worries of the employees and other interested parties, I am in the process of taking ownership of the gelato store. It is my intention to keep it operational and successful, even during the school year when my teaching begins. I also will be renaming the store to Anna's in memory of the beautiful young woman who gave me my footing here.
