I know it wasn't exactly the point of Singles Night but I definitely came away a little more cash rich than I was when I first got there.

Gotta love me a game of pool or two.

I am finally feeling better!!! These flu seasons huh, just so hard.

Thankfully, I am back on my feet as we approach the beginning of October! Which means planning for pumpkin everything!

There will be a plan for trick or treating put into effect, I think parents are a tiny bit wary right now, so we're fielding a bunch of questions at work. That did not help me get better quicker.

But gosh! I love October! I can't wait to get spooky!

» Okay one?
» Next time you go on a field trip with your dad maybe a little heads-up?
» Worst time to not know where you were.
» I'm not saying I was worried.
» But I was fucking worried.
» Two?
» I'm glad you were safe and away from town.

So... are we all just going to ignore the giant shadow-demon-elephant in the room and just never speak of this past week ever again? Business as usual?

Asking for a friend.

Okay so, I'm not a big Pumpkin Spice person. It's nothing personal against pumpkins, or people who like them it's just like, not my jam. But does anyone have any other favourite foods that they associate with Fall/Autumn? Even if the weather is still warm for a while, I feel like I want some more food ideas.


[PROFESSOR CAL BLEAK]

Thanks meeting with me, I've never really had an academic advisor before so I had no real idea of where to start, but talking to you really helped hammer out the details.

I spent like, only four hours at the university yesterday and it made me itchy. I'm like 90% positive at this point I'm allergic to school.

September 5th - 6th, weekend, y'all got any plans or do you wanna see the beach with me?

Back in Maine, the first frost usually hit by mid-September, the growing season is way short. So I kept thinking about how the summer is basically over in like two weeks.

Just, didn't realise at all that it'll stay warm here well into October.

So I've got some weekends I need to reschedule.

Assaulted by a loaf of bread in the supermarket.

I have no idea why or who by, but flying loafs of bread.

I feel violated. By bread. Is nowhere safe?

one day. one day i will learn that drunk shopping is still shopping and i should expect these things to show up.

at this stage i'm sure the courier is just used to my blank expression when he drops shit off.

what possessed me to buy a food processor, a white noise machine and mail organiser?

Unpopular opinion time: Chief Brody in Jaws could totally get it. He gives off nerdy Steve McQueen vibes. Like, Brody would be the safer option you would take home to your parents but then ditch halfway through prom and leave with Steve McQueen.

Oh my God I'm so drunk

Make me feel better; what's your unpopular celebrity crush? There are no losers in this game. And no judgment.

Hey everyone! So this Sunday, the summer camp is going to be hosting a crafty afternoon of pour painting, hosted on the grounds of St. Verdiana's church. We'll be providing canvases of varied sizes and loads of paints, pouring medium, silicone, alcohol and different objects that can be used to apply the paint.

We've rented an open event tent, so there will be shade, but please make sure you bring a water bottle (it's better for the environment!) and sunscreen because we will be outside for most of the day! There'll be a picnic lunch in the afternoon, so if you're interested please let me know if you have any dietary needs or restrictions.

Because the activity will be free for the summer camp kids, we'll be collecting $20 from all the adults and other people who want to sign up. That'll go towards the lunch, tent rental and art supplies. We'd also accept donations! Please sign up below and I'll add you to the list.

Hey, I've got to start picking classes for the fall in the next week or so, do you want to help me because decisions are hard and give me anxiety?

What's the best kind of pet to beat loneliness?

[Filter: Ainsley, Gabriel]

Okay I've got an idea for a thing we could do that might be awesome or might be terrible:

Pour painting!

We could do it outside on those foldable plastic tables and use non-toxic paints so we won't cry when all the paint goes everywhere, and we could maybe open it up like we did the aquarium? Have townie participants pay a fee that'll help us cover all the costs?

Thoughts? Validation of my unexplainable desire to stick my hand into some paint?

Hey Dad, are you busy today?

That awkward moment when you're in your thirties crashing on your younger sister's couch and trying to explain to your neice and nephew as to why a pirate such as yourself is not sailing the Seven Seas and plundering folk for a living.

Also, kids TV these days? Horrific.

So... the people who have lived here for their entire lives in this town... can someone explain why it feels like the paths in the wood-forest place outside town change more than the stairs at Hogwarts??

[ Ainsley & Gabriel ]

Hey,
I don't want to make a big thing about it or anything, but I just wanted to take a minute to thank you bot for letting me come along to the Aquarium with the camp -- It's just, it really means a lot to me that you both went out of your way to make me feel welcome.

It's just, really great.

So really, really - thanks so much.

Aquarium trip on Thursday!

Oh gosh I'm so excited! The kids are so excited! We've rented a coach to take us to Boone, it's about a 30 minute drive. The kids that are going have already filled out their forms and there's still 10 spaces for anyone else who wants to join us!!!

For anyone under 20, it's free! Over 20 and there is a $10 charge for admission and lunch but aside from that it's going to be an amazing trip!

Coach leaves from Town Hall at 8am sharp so that we can get to the Aquarium before 9am, lunch will be at 12, there's going to be two presentations including a feeding of some turtles which will be amazing! We'll be home by 6pm.

I already signed you up as a volunteer slash chaperone slash child wrangler.

:D

I guess it's time to hang out my metaphorical shingle.

Van Helsing Private Investigations is officially (re)open for business. No case too big, or too small. We solve it all.
