I am actually willing to say thank god for the fact that whatever thing it was that brought us here also brought the cottage with my things, because I have just had the most disappointing shopping excursion I have ever attempted. I'm really not sure if I'm cut out for the podunk life. I almost die of some kind of combination of shock and relief every time I see the Starbucks, as though it's some proof of civilization.

And if you're about to whine about how small towns aren't that bad, spare me. I lived in LA the vast majority of my life and my most recent residence was a castle. I won't be convinced.

	Even Beacon Hills had a mall. I miss shopping in New York. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yes. My soul aches for New York shopping. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	At least we have people who can teleport, but it's different when you have to ask someone instead of just going. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It really does add some inconvenience to the whole thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess it lets you avoid the subway and taxis though? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	After living in London so long, being in a small town is extremely frustrating. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Without a doubt. I'm not made for small towns. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Your castle did not arrive here? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	highqueenmargo 2017-06-30 02:04 am UTC (link)
	No, which is probably for the best. My more portable residence is here, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah. Is it like a summer cottage? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	highqueenmargo 2017-07-01 03:00 am UTC (link)
	It's a cottage, yeah. We lived in it while we were at school, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trialsoflove 2017-07-01 03:02 am UTC (link)
	The school was a distance from your castle, I take it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You could say they were worlds apart. Literally. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trialsoflove 2017-07-01 03:03 am UTC (link)
	That's intriguing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	highqueenmargo 2017-07-01 03:08 am UTC (link)
	It makes for an interesting life. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trialsoflove 2017-07-01 03:12 am UTC (link)
	Which did you live in first? The castle or the cottage? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	highqueenmargo 2017-07-01 03:25 am UTC (link)
	Neither, technically. I wasn't exactly born into the castle life, though I like to think it was always inevitable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trialsoflove 2017-07-01 03:26 am UTC (link)
	Oh. The castle wasn't in LA? I've never lived in anything but my castle. It showed up with Belle and I. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	highqueenmargo 2017-07-01 03:33 am UTC (link)
	No, that's where I grew up and lived with my parents. No kidding? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	There's teleporters to take you around! I feel like there's both pros and cons for small towns, but bigger cities definitely have a different appeal. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	highqueenmargo 2017-07-01 03:01 am UTC (link)
	So I've heard. You're probably right, but I'm sticking with there being more pros in the bigger city column. Many, many more. (Reply to this) (Parent)
