I’m praying for you. Are you sleeping at least 8 hours each night? Life always seems better for me when I’m less exhausted.
MARCIE! YOU MADE EGG SOUP!
First time I’ve ever laughed reading one of your scenes. Poor lover boy Leon. XD

That’s so cool! Did you go with anyone?
The exhaustion is strong with this one
Same. *cries*

the library wanted it back before I managed to find my ground again.
Mine is…three months or so overdue, and I’ve been billed for it…I’m going to have a librarian bounty hunter after me.MARCIE! YOU MADE EGG SOUP!
That’s where I am right now. XD I was loving it before that part, so I’m going to continue it. XD

There’s wordy like beautifully elaborate writing…and then there’s “Oh, the plot is going well, it’s time for AN ENTIRE SECTION ABOUT WATERLOO THAT IS COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT TO THE PLOT WHATSOEVER.” *glares at Victor Hugo*
Yeah, I like 1st person past, but first person present takes me about three chapters to get into without being annoyed.

No one’s hired me yet. 🙁 Today I sent in an actual application to Kroger instead of just the employment interest form, since it looks like they’re hiring again, and also an application to a Biggby coffee. Hopefully I’ll have a job soon.

Older love triangles actually have depth, but modern love triangles are just like Shadow mentioned: bland plain-but-actually-not heroine, childhood best friend, and new hot guy. Ugh.
Evangelistic dating is dating/becoming romantically attached to a lost person with the hope that the relationship will lead them to God. Obviously, not a good udea to go into a relationship like that. It’s not healthy, and usually ends in a broken heart or spirit in real life. Unfortunately, it’s pretty common in Christian romance fiction.
Yeah, that’s wrong. I’ve enjoyed books where the love interest is the one to lead the other character to God, but actively fostering a romantic relationship towards a nonbeliever is messed up. The Bible specifically says not to do that!

ALLELUIA! CHRIST IS RISEN! ✝️🥳

I don’t have phones, but my family does have a rule we aren’t allowed to bring technology into our rooms. Exceptions are made for the house phone for music or audiobooks, and occasionally the tablet for school. I don’t know that I’ve seen someone using tech super healthily. Maybe my mom. Neither of my parents are that bad with it, but my dad acknowledges that he spends too much time on his phone. We also allow no phones at the table. I don’t think any of my friends, who have phones, use them in a healthy way.

“May you please explain that? Are you quiet? Dangerous? Do you often solve mysteries? Or start them? And does this relate to how you are a thief?
It means no one knows anything about me.
“Oh…. Those are some…. awful descriptions! Uhm…. do you have any friends? And do you know why people call you that? Maybe you should try putting trust into a relationship, and… maybe…. you know…. not harm or steal from people?”
No…why would I have friends? People are scum. It’s every man for himself in this world. You get ahead by using people. They call me those names because I deserve it. I have done much of what I’ve been accused of, and I’m proud of it.
“Are you sure about that? I bet you COULD contribute a lot to the world!… And as for the why should you… there are people in a worse state than you! They are totally hopeless! And have nothing! You could help them! The world may be a dark place, but you still have to be good! It reminds me of a poem I once heard!” *Celestia pauses to think.* “It is called anyway!
*Celarent stares at Celestia like she’s crazy* What a ridiculous poem. If they’re poorly off, that’s their problem. I did try to help a little kid once, but he wasn’t keen on the thieving business and became a shopkeeper’s apprentice instead. He sounded a bit like you, actually. All about goodness and helping people. *he rolls his eyes*
“Well… actually… I do!… But that is a long story…. And it was back when I was not a good person.” *Celestia looks down shamefully*
Bah. Goodness is overrated.

Celarent: Given my criminal background, I find it unlikely that even my good look and charm [he smiles] will be enough to get me elected to Council in a few years when I’m old enough to run. If I can buy off a few people, or bribe leading politicians to endorse me, my chances of winning are much higher.
*chokes* Mel, she sounds awful, but why are you releasing wild raccoons into her yard?
“Of course I would! That would be awesome! And then I would collect the extras and set up a taco stand and sell them.”
I admire your entrepreneurship.
What is your least favorite food? If you could have an unlimited supply of anything, what thing would you choose?

Alas, almost no one spreads exciting rumors about me, but my brother once told his friends that I’d tried to burn the house down, which is mostly untrue. I didn’t try to, and almost nothing burned. I’ve heard that the girl down the street’s parents may be associated with an evil plot against America, but that was from my grandma, and she believes a lot of weird stuff. But that girl is a delinquent, so maybe that’s where she gets it from. She actually did burn down a building once.

I am usually awoken by a maid around 7. I am dressed and my hair is done. Then I am escorted to the dining hall. After breakfast, quite formal usually, I have schooling. My first subject is math.
[Vyette thinks for a minute] Important decisions? My father will not even allow me to marry the man whom I want. I am not sure which man that would be, but a handsome one. However, I am permitted to help with the hiring process of the help sometimes, and I often choose the menu for our parties.
*squints at Barnes* I seem to remember her getting drunk in front of her crush once…XD
*gasp* I want a golden crown with dangly things! Anyway. Would you rather be trapped alone on a desert island, or with the person you hate most? What are your pet peeves? (Besides frilly sleeves of course. XD)
