Some Reality Web

Last chance to get those New Year's resolutions in!

I'm resolving to not let myself get upset every time my blood sugar decides to be stupid, to graduate 8th grade with honors, and to write one entry in my journal every day.

Your turn!

It was the anniversary of my parents' deaths two days ago and---
I love Christmas, but this time of year---

Everyone get off your ass and wish Bruce a happy birthday. Love you, Brucie-Bear!

[ Under 18s + Youth Center Workers ]

Looks like Santa arrived at the Youth Center, but he's not taking the credit this time. He knows you guys don't have a lot of spending money but still want to gift something to your loved ones, so he's left a bunch of presents for you to wrap and take home—all for free!

We've got music, hot chocolate and hot cider, and plenty of wrapping stations all set up for you this weekend.

Everyone, try not to get into trouble. I'm officially closing till after the New Year.

Of course I'm not good at vacations and the Entity tends to be a jerk but I guess we'll see how that goes.

Ms. Bishop, would you do me the honor of joining me for the Nutcracker this weekend?

So I know we're all gearing up for Christmas right now, BUT.

New Year's.

It's the biggest party night of the year! What are we planning? I'm going to put my tiny partners in crime (Cassie, Claudia, Jubilee, that's you, FYI) to work on something for the Under 21s, but the big kids deserve a champagne toast and ball drop? It's fake New York City, we have to have the ball drop!

I also require sparkles. So many sparkles.

Listen up, Entity person being thing.

We have T-Minus 5 DAYS until my birthday. So, for my birthday, I'd like to kindly ask that you not pull anymore heinous actions and other bullshit nonsense for a while. At least six months. I'll plant you a tree or something, cool? Cool.

This may also be a reminder for said birthday approaching in case you really want to get me something fun and nifty. Please inquire with Lucky for any suggestions you might want and/or need. He knows me best!

If you want specifics? Dear Tony Stark: World's greatest archer (that's me in case you had any doubts) could use some new trick arrows. Mini deadly robots who decided to cut my hair in the most unnatural way possible (in case you forgot!) used a lot of them. A girl needs shiny things, you know!

Dad’s gone.

I know he wasn’t really my dad, different version and all.

Does this mean I have to move to the stupid kids floor?

WHO IS GOING TO TEACH ME TO SKI?

I don't mind Thanksgiving. I don't mind Christmas. Okay, I like Christmas. I liked it more when

It's kind of weird, though, too. Celebrating things here. Very weird Kind of sad

It's not the company. The company's great! Something's missing

The last big Thanksgiving dinner I had seems like ages ago. Decades. Centuries. (Cue the most epic Kate Bishop Trademarked dramatic music here, okay?)

Definitely in Los Angeles with the other WCA members. After another second-rate super villain wanted to weaponize yams. Those are sweet potatoes for those not in the know.

...They are, right? They're not different? OMG don't tell me if they are, okay? It takes away from my "Back in My Day" novella.

I've watched the Thanksgiving Day Parade from so many different places. Seen the tree lighting in Rockefeller. Gone ice skating mostly on my butt. You walk around the city now, though, and there's a layer of something missing. A distinct lack of gross hot dog water, bitter sidewalk coffee, and hundreds of expensive perfumes spilling out of the department stores.

Now, all I want is a pretzel from the carts that littered the corners of Midtown followed by tacos from the taco truck in Santa Monica.

Gonna take Lucky for a walk and pin down a peppermint mocha instead. 💜

I want to go to the holiday pop up thing in Bryant Park! Who's in?

I DON'T CARE HOW OLD I AM LKJHGFDS If I knock on your door tomorrow, you better give me candy. Or or or I'll like totally... something.

There were apple pies waiting for me and I have a feeling that...they were from one of the trees before they stopped moving.

That's how the note read, anyway.

I'm only mildly concerned.

Everyone is talking about costumes and carving pumpkins, but why are we not talking about a distinct lack of candy corn?

Is there a shortage that we were not informed about? Do I need to question the lobby ostriches? I wouldn't be surprised if they're behind it. They have a sweet tooth.

...Sweet beak? Talon? Hmm.

GWEN! ...I may have put Jeff through the laundry on accident. He's okay! He definitely had fun! Too much, I think. He was sleeping in my laundry basket again.

I will also concede to you Pumpkin Spice Latte supporters. It might be an alright drink. I definitely did not drink three today I still favor the peppermint and chocolate things.

Also, while lasers can make a precise cut, they're not great to use on hair. The smell is pretty terrible.

I was never able to do much with the apples while they were talking and jeering other than trying to avoid them at all costs, but today, I was bored and there are pumpkins*.


*non-talking.

[ Magicians ]

What are we doing for Halloween?

What is everyone dressing as for Halloween?

So, that was something.

Definitely do not like robots

Matt's recovering if anyone's been looking for him.

Yep, my fault there too

[FRIENDS MINUS BILLY/FREDDY]

BILLY ASKED ME TO THE MOVIES!

I'm probably a bad person for saying that was kind of fun, right?

Was anyone super badly hurt? Because that definitely makes it less fun.

[Cassie]

So I keep meaning to do this and then I don't do it and that's just stupid and I'd like to do it before something else tries to kill us so do you want to go see a movie or something with me this weekend maybe?

[Freddy]

I just asked Cassie out.

Excuse me while I go bury myself and wait for her to say yes or I die, whichever comes first.

These stupid jerks are going to interrupt the first Mathletes meeting, aren't they? Ugh.

I can swing a baseball bat if I have to but volleyball is really more my speed.

This is what we've been training for. Let's pair up.
