I'm looking for a job again, if anyone's got work. I'm not really skilled, but I'll show up on time and do whatever needs doing. I was watching Darcy's kids for her, before they all went back. So I can watch kids. I'm a good hunter too, and I can skin a kill pretty quick, but that doesn't seem to be something anyone needs around here.
Also, since I have been unemployed I have been watching more television and there are things I don't get. Why are there all these shows on the television about people cooking? Some of them don't even tell you how to make the food, and you can't eat it. There's even websites about cake. Just pictures of cake. I catch Peeta looking at them and I don't understand. Why would you want to look at food you can't eat?

So, Peeta and I are
I have been trying to figure out how to tell you that I am dating a boy who sleeps in my bed without making you think it's okay for you to have a boyfriend in your bed.
Or any boy in your bed
How's that cheering thing going?
Is anyone here good at repairing things, like a gauntlet that projects an energy shield and an actual shield made of vibranium?
I've been putting this off, but I can't anymore. No matter how hard I try I can't stop seeing it every time I close my I need to not sleep. Not have to sleep. Can any of you make that happen?
Thank the Gods! I'm solid again!
Clark's being weird, is he with you?
I really shouldn't eat sugar before going to bed. It ends with fairly...vivid dreams.

Are we sure we know where every bit of kryptonite here is?

Where are you? You haven't been talking to any strange people lately, have you?
...stranger than usual, that is.
So, here's the thing. I've been working. Not working-working, but working. My kind of working. Because I've been doing the whole productive thing mixed with a side of "welp, today I'm gonna be really drunk thing" and sometimes even a bit of "all right, I guess I'll be productive and drunk and hope that this prototype doesn't blow up in my face thing", I've missed out on a few events that I probably should have been more aware of.
To put it quite simply: I don't often deal in the paperwork department of Stark Industries. I've got other people who do that. I like other people who do that. It makes me very happy, not having to do all of that. I'd rather be over here, doing what I do, while everyone else deals with the gory aspects of business that Tony Stark was never meant to dabble in.
But that's it. That's what they do. They deal with paperwork and they take care of all the little things that I can't be bothered with. When it comes down to how Stark Industries is handled and who is qualified enough to be employed there, I'm the only real person with any actual say so.
And here is the official say so: if you need a job, apply for one. You will be trained for the position you are hired for. You will learn how to do your job. And if that job doesn't work for you? We'll re-train you over and over again until we find you a position you're happy with. If anyone has a problem with that, then I'll introduce them to a thing that I like to call the door.
Any questions? No? Good. I'm glad we had this little chat, everyone. Now, if you'll excuse me, it's nine in the morning, which means it's bedtime for me. Nighty-night.

I thought it best to inform all of you at once, before you hear elsewhere...
The child boy young man who arrived recently, James Rogers, is Steve Rogers' son....and mine. From the future, and/or an alternate timeline.
I still don't know if I can d

Everyone seems to get so excited for this football. I'm afraid I've tried following along and only grow confused. All I want to know is, why do they call it football and then not play it with their feet? Oh, and why is a scoring move worth 7 points and not just one?
So with Halloween coming, I am certain there are plans for celebrations and everything, but being a good English citizen and knowing I am not the only one here, what about celebrations for Guy Fawkes Night? And who could say no to two celebrations close together?
As nice as this police box is and all--who would've thought the inside of a bloody police box would be so spacious--I think I might need to look into somewhere normal else to stay. This bloke is bizarre and Ideas?
I so need a break from thinking about, talking about, contemplating demons and the devil and imminent apocalypses.
Is there someplace to play paintball around here on short-notice? Like, if I wanted to gather up a smallish group and get a game started tomorrow, is that possible? Also, would anyone be up for it?

What is the fluffiest, hokiest movie I can convince you to watch with me tonight?
It's Saturday night and I've been busy decorating my new house for the past two weeks. I feel like there is fun to be had, I just need to find out where this fun is.
Not that I don't enjoy the decorating. Quite the opposite, in fact. But, there is such thing as too much of a good thing, and it is an exceptionally big house. And it's going to take a bit of time to get used to living completely alo
Anyway, yes. Back to the original point. I would like fun. Possibly with singing and/or dancing involved in some way. Karaoke, anyone? I know it was a thing last weekend but there's no law saying it can't happen twice over the course of two weeks. Or perhaps going somewhere with the dancing that I also mentioned.
And I just reminded myself. Peter, has any additional headway been made with the theater group?
Damon, my gorgeous sexy vampire friend. I've got a question for you.
Is there any way for a bird to get her hands on a sun-walking ring like you've got?
» How's this then?
» or are you still going to shush me?
» at least I'm not talking over the movie now?
