I didn't get assaulted by giant blue bugs and Falmouth kicked ass. I'd say this is a pretty killer early birthday present. Could've lived without Wood nearly mangling himself but eh.

I think I'm figuring out that thing I'm passionate about. It ties into rules.

	What are you passionate about? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Darby/Percy cirsium 2017-06-29 12:49 am UTC (link)
	Having control. Making progress. Taking care of people. All of this requires the sort of discipline I've never learned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Darby/Percy arulefollower 2017-06-29 03:52 am UTC (link)
	All of those are admirable passions. Think of it like quidditch practice. You have a schedule and regimen. No doubt you are unsurprising I have a preference towards lists. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Darby/Percy cirsium 2017-06-29 04:09 am UTC (link)
	I'm just...fine-tuning them. Quidditch practice is a great metaphor until you remember which team I play for. In practice, we make sense. In application, it's unique at best. Do lists help with that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There is nothing wrong with reassessing your goals and ideals from time to time. I am sure there is logical sequence, no matter how chaotic it may seem. I find lists help me organise my thoughts. It may work for you. It may not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Darby/Percy cirsium 2017-06-29 04:35 am UTC (link)
	You can't reassess something you've never had before. I'm more than willing to try. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Darby/Percy arulefollower 2017-06-29 04:59 am UTC (link)
	Alright. Fine-tuning them. There is nothing wrong with that. Sometimes focusing in on small tasks make things seem easier. That is far more than what many are willing to do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't usually think things through before I do them, you see. ~~Now I've gone and made myself all anxious overthinking.~~ What's your favorite accomplishment? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Darby/Percy arulefollower 2017-06-29 05:20 am UTC (link)
	Some find thinking with one's gut admirable. Being a member of the Quidditch Rules & Regulations Committee and helping overhaul the most recent handbook. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Find me one and I'll buy you a drink. Why? (The favorite, not why you did it.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Darby/Percy arulefollower 2017-06-29 01:46 pm UTC (link)
	No drinks necessary. Because I love the game and could never play. Rules and regulations I know. It was my one way to contribute to the legacy of the sport. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Darby/Percy cirsium 2017-06-29 01:54 pm UTC (link)
	I'm taking this as acceptance that you know no one. I didn't know you were actually that into quidditch. How are you with the whole Is your broth So that thing with the. This is where I think my view of quidditch varies from yours. I never learn anything by the rules. And I have two months to figure it out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Darby/Percy arulefollower 2017-06-29 01:58 pm UTC (link)
	Or the understanding that not everything need to be solved with alcohol. One does not share a dorm with Oliver Wood for seven years without gaining an appreciation for the sport, never mind my father was always partial towards it. I'm rubbish on a broom, but there are ways to contribute. Why two months? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Darby/Percy cirsium 2017-06-29 02:06 pm UTC (link)
	I resent that perspective. It was a reward not a solution. Because an opportunity came up in September that I would be an idiot not to at least try to pursue. I just don't know if I'm the right person for it. But I can try to be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Darby/Percy arulefollower 2017-06-29 02:45 pm UTC (link)
	Alcohol need not be a reward either. Often trying is the best that a person can do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't believe in doing my best. I believe in getting things done. And whiskey. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Admirable outlook on life. Alright. I will keep your preferences in mind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It seems my brother has taken up more attention that I would have normally liked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I didn't ask about your brother. You worried about him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Darby/Percy arulefollower 2017-06-29 05:08 pm UTC (link)
	Of course I am. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's shit. I'm sorry things blow right now for you and your people or whatever. If there was ever a time for drinking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is a bed of his own creation, but I will do what I always do and try and neaten it for him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You don't choose family, you just love them more than they often deserve. Don't forget to take care of yourself while you're busy piecing him back together, Percy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Because it's stopped happening or because you've managed to turn off how you feel? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
