Re: Jack/Leena
Ugh. That sounds dreadful. I wanted a sister once, when I was small. I thought an older one would be nice, I could learn all the mysteries that being a girl involved without having to be one. So she's overly familiar and she doesn't speak to you often? That sounds like a drunk aunt at Christmas. Except with less cash in the Christmas card.
I am. I worked really hard to be one which is why I don't know why I tossed it all away. I imagine I'll find out.
I can control my future, except I can't, not up until the point I apparently turned up at the party. I can do it then on. I'm supposed to be myself again by Christmas. Happy Christmas, eh? And that, Mallory, sounds like experience or savant wisdom. Which is it?
I ate snails. I ate snails with garlic butter and the little fork-thing you use to get them out of the shells. You should try it! Very intrepid!
Maybe you should try planting things for the sake of it. See if you actually like it. You could probably commandeer some earth somewhere, like Mary in the Secret Garden.
Well, yes, starving to death is unpleasant. Why, if you got threatened with a medical-gross thing, are you in need of running to reduce your ass? It's probably not quite New Mexico. It might make Rhode Island if it's very lucky, but we've all got goals in mind. I don't understand the not eating thing, whether because of your arse or because you wanted to die. But I think learning to cook is the first step to avoiding eating cabbage forever.
I see. Well, I'll get some Christmas lights, drape them around my neck and you can scrap the mostly qualifier and go with 'glad'.
Everyone needs lessons, even if they've ridden before. You should try it. It's good fun, and it's definitely better than running. You sit back while the horse runs, simple. Do you feel all right interacting at a distance?
