DAY 209 | vi ( audio ) → open.
We need a Sadie Hawkins. [ seemingly unprompted, but it's been on her mind for a while now. something wholesome and fun that everyone can participate in without pesky age requirements or being weary of stepping foot in a bar or a vampire-owned establishment. ] It's a dance - not as formal as prom, but there's usually a theme of some kind involved. For example, my sorority at Yale was planning on holding a Phantom themed Sadie Hawkins towards the end of the fall semester. Our theme will definitely not be anything involving Andrew Lloyd Webber. Rebekah and I will be working out those details - theme, where, when...

[ because her original vampire bestie is the obvious choice for partner in dance planning crime. ]

Another thing: the girls usually do the asking for a Sadie Hawkins. None of this misogynistic nonsense of waiting for a guy who's never going to notice you to ask you to go to the dance with him. You get to make him sweat and worry that no-one's going to ask him and he'll be forced to go stag. But, since I know not everyone is of the heterosexual persuasion here, I say interpret the tradition as it applies to you. If you're a boy who likes boys, ask a boy. You don't have to go with a girl if that's not who you are. This should be something fun for us, not anything that makes people feel uncomfortable.

	Connecticut isn't too far away from New York City! You must go there often, huh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Surprisingly, no. Last time I was in New York, it was for a nationals. My friend, Rachel, lives there and bought me a train ticket to come visit her, but I haven't used it yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Really?! But it's practically the heart of the United States! It's where the all the excitement is! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ she laughs, because everyone seems to think that. even people from other parts of the country. ] Have you ever been to New York? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have been! My mom's had to go there on business a couple times, because it's a pretty big deal, especially for the fashion industry. I can't really say I know much about the other states, however... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	audio cheerleader 2013-03-06 02:31 am UTC (link)
	Not much to see in Ohio, unless you're a fan of the Cincinnati Reds or the Cleveland Browns. Your mom's into fashion? Is she a designer or something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	audio onelevelmeaner 2013-03-06 05:11 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, not interested. They sound like hideous colors. [A beat.] She is, she is! She has her own fashion design line! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	audio cheerleader 2013-03-06 02:36 pm UTC (link)
	And not very good teams, either. What sort of line did she have? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	audio onelevelmeaner 2013-03-06 03:01 pm UTC (link)
	My mom's line consists of mostly women's clothing in the style of street couture. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	audio cheerleader 2013-03-06 03:47 pm UTC (link)
	If only we had access to top of the line fashion here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ugh, tell me about it... I do make things from time to time, however, so we're not completely at a loss! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Have you thought about opening your own shop here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	audio onelevelmeaner 2013-03-07 12:23 am UTC (link)
	I haven't until very recently, actually. I spoke with a couple business owners the other day and they sort of gave me the idea to do so, but I'm not sure I could do it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	audio cheerleader 2013-03-07 02:58 am UTC (link)
	I'd be very willing to help out, if you ever did. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	audio onelevelmeaner 2013-03-07 03:04 am UTC (link)
	Thanks. The issue I have with it is that I really, really want to do it with my brother, but since he isn't here... I mean, I don't want him in prison or anything, but he would love running a shop, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	audio cheerleader 2013-03-10 03:42 am UTC (link)
	[ an unseen nod of understanding. ] I get it, and that's really sweet -- that you'd want to do it with your brother. [ she wishes she had that sort of connection with her sister, but "close" never described their relationship. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	audio onelevelmeaner 2013-03-10 07:49 pm UTC (link)
	I have to get used to things being like this, though, so if I want to open up a shop, I have to take action. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	audio cheerleader 2013-03-10 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	In that case, my offer to help still stands. (Reply to this) (Parent)
