vallo

Does anyone want to start a band? Nothing crazy serious, just for fun. If you don't know how to play an instrument I can teach you.

Also I'll be signing up to teach Music when school starts again. About, History, HOW TO. All of it. So if you're into that--yeah.

( The heart was an intricate, complex puzzle piece in that way. Endlessly fascinating. )

Well. I suppose I missed a great deal being off the mainland and avoiding the network. It would explain a lot though.

As luck would have it, Vallo decided to bring me something I did not expect to be gifted in the days after finding out about my husband's death. I got photographs. A great deal of them, some even from the wedding, but enough of them from all the time before. I was about ready to hurl something across the room, but before I could, I just wished that this loss would just stop hurting, that I could stop feelings stabs in my heart every time I thought of David in particular, but also of Zoya and Nikolai.

And just like that, I stopped feeling the pain. I guess sometimes Vallo does things correctly?

I missed Pride weekend though. That's a damn shame.

Filter: Erik

I'm ready to go back to my apartment.

I can pick up the furball in a short while once I'm back. Later tonight?

( That was some pretty good grandfatherly advice, you know. I still feel like you might need to carry around those butterscotch candies for the full effect, maybe stare off at a lake or pond for a moment of gravitas, but otherwise, pretty good. )

I need to go.

I don't know where. Just anywhere. Anywhere that's considered a very remote vacation spot with nobody around here.

Zoya and Nikolai are gone on the cusp of me receiving memories of the fact that I'm now a widow, and I want to just get away for a few days.

Look. We're all pretty good about coming together to take down the Big Bad when it's super evil and lives in a creepy castle in the woods, but one of these days we're gonna be stuck in a post-apocalyptic event (again??? snowglobe people??? wtf???) and I need to know how everyone's survival skills are.

AKA what food would you bring into my bunker/hovel/bomb shelter I managed to put together before the world exploded? Don't ask questions just answer and I'll tell YOU if I'll let you in or not. Good food only, no bullshit.

I didn't really anything like a summer vacation from school work growing up, but successfully keeping students attention with just over a week of school left should be considered a small miracle.

OUTLANDER SCHOOL TEACHERS.
*please just assume exams will be done at this point?

Would having some sort of last day picnic or BBQ or something be incredibly lame? Is that something most students would enjoy?

Texts to Stephen

I know there's important things going on right now like we just killed a dragon lady and I can breathe again but:

You have a dating profile?

Texts to Erik

Just checking in

Texts to Hank

Thanks for what you did. I really owe you. Anything you need, I'l be there.

Texts to Wanda

Next time I wanna fight and not be cursed. Also, what do you know about dating apps?

TEXTS TO ERIK

--I reckon its time we get serious about looking for somewhere else in the city.

Just a head's up. The last time I was in a world that dealt with Maleficent, she stole all the kids under five.

If we could skip that here I'd really appreciate it.

Private to Wanda:

Are we done 'stepping away' or can I apologize now?

Private to Erik:

Sorry.

Private to Rogue:

Hey, I'm really sorry for the stupid shit I wrote. I didn't mean it.

Private to Stephen:

I don't know why I wrote to you while I was freaking out, but I think it was because I was freaking out. But yeah. Sorry. I think I just wanted to be mad at anyone readily able to read a journal that knew me.

Anyone got any outdoors store or survivalist crap place that isn't weird and hardcore Libertarian to recommend? Planning on taking my chances with woods monsters in the name of Communing with Nature.

Yo boss, can I take off Thurs/Fri of next week? I wanna be where the people aren't.

[ /Filter ]

I was wondering if you'd like to join me for the beginning of Shavuot this Sunday - provided you're not busy, of course. We don't have to stay up all night reading the Torah but I thought I could make us plenty of cheese blintzes and we could just visit for awhile.

Okay, I'm back up to full HP, I can heal.



Unless I'm late and everyone's already healed, which is totally possible. But, just in case, I'm on it. I have a lot of anxious energy to burn.

Also, someone back in Vallo, make sure Tommy is eating some food that doesn't have pizza or fried as a descriptor? And tell him the family sfjhsdfjkhsk someday I will be chill about that is okay. I don't know that I trust him to open up a book.

EMERGENCY, DROP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND READ THIS.

I got a Flirt and a Message on Tag! WHAT DO I DO, how do I respond, excited or aloof? Cool and sexy or bright and friendly? Forget that last one, I'm only capable of the latter. Do I keep it short and friendly so I don't overwhelm and freak them out? I am already overwhelmed and freaked out!

I AM BAD AT THIS WHY DID I SIGN UP
