If wearin' eighteen pounds of black leather in the middle of sunny goddamned california is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Just wanted to let people know, if you've got PTSD, either from being in the military or from something else, go ahead and drop me a line. I'm willing to listen, and believe me I'm not going to judge.

What the bloody hell is Cinco De Mayo? It obviously has something to do with Mexican culture because I see a ton of somberos around town. Is this really a holiday or did the American bastardize something again?

Hi, Valarnet! For you new people, I thought I should introduce myself. I'm Penelope Garcia (you can call me either name, I'll respond to either!) and I'm your resident tech goddess.

Also, I blatantly ship all of you. Whether you want me to or not. Sorry, not sorry.

SO. I'mma play lonely hearts here and help all you singles find people who're ready to mingle! Single folks, reply down here, and we'll get you mashed the hell up. It'll be scandalous fun!

( Seriously, scandalous fun. )

Or send me cat gifs.

I'm bored waiting for my boyfriend to get off of work. :(

Attention Kitty Pryde. It's 6pm. Do you know where the hell your cell phone is?

I'll give you a hint. It ain't in your back pocket.

Also? You and I need to have some words.

I'm still trying to get used to the fact that America is so obsessed with celebrities. I went to LA over the weekend and my goodness! There were those weird buses that tour the city looking for celebs and people selling maps to their houses. I even saw a bunch of paparazzi camping out at a restaurant waiting for a star to emerge. Is this really how this place works? It's kind of insane and it makes me feel so much better about being a simple nobody. I don't think I would want that kind of publicity.

I'm not sure why the words "I have to work this weekend" don't seem to register for my mother. It's as if she doesn't understand the fact that some people work on holidays. If I could get the time off to go home and see her, of course I would. But I've only just started back at work. Can't exactly take time off whenever I feel like it, can I?

I can't believe today is my first full day of work. I have had different jobs before, but none that I moved across the world for. Director Fury has high standards to live up to in order to keep me hanging around this job.

Anyway, my name is Peggy and I just moved here from England a couple weeks ago. I have been laying low and trying to get a feel for this new place. I think I have experienced as many touristy things as I can, but I may still be missing things. Anything else I should make sure to check out?

This is me saying hello. I'm Jessica. Nice to meet most of you.

It feels like I've been inside for the better part of a year. Sometimes I forget what sunshine is and the outdoors. The only time I get to see a part of it is on the way from home to work and back again. I've been living on ramen noodles and trying to make something of my life. Every time I think I've got a handle on it, something puts me on my ass again. Needless to say, I'm sick of it.

This country isn't bad though. I'd heard so many stories about America, I wasn't sure what to expect. It's not as bad as I thought it was going to be though. Your weather is much nicer, even if I haven't been able to see much of it.

I know this is an odd way to introduce yourself, but if anyone could tell me maybe the name of a lawyer? Looks like I've got myself into a bit of trouble already. Guess hopping across the pond didn't help that at all. Not that I thought it would.

The Queen entered the Olympics via parachute with James Bond.

I have never been so proud to be technically British.

Observations: creatures enjoy carbohydrates and sugars. Also seem to multiply rapidly. Interesting. Suspect asexual reproduction. Haven't witnessed any mating habits. Could be problematic.

Uh... Is there anyone here who is able to hold an intelligent conversation?

That is a female?

I could really use some discussion over tea.

Someone remind me that when Tony does something rude in my dreams I'm now allowed to yell at him for it.

What does one give as a birthday present to the man they've started going out with, when it feels that it might turn serious soon, but none of you have said it yet?

...I'm falling for someone. I thought that it would never happen. I've no idea what to expect.

Disneyland, airport terminals, the price of gas.

What do they all have in common?

Really sorry to spam the network guys, but trust me, it's really important.

Peggy Carter? This is something I think you really need to see.
