so… since it’s christmas every day (if you celebrate and if you don’t, i’m so sorry, ignore me) until the new year, who wants to gather up and watch christmas movies with me? i won’t be terribly picky about what we watch as a group. except i’m definitely demanding like, twelve things. casually. and hot cocoa. do you guys have any traditions with your families? any favorite things to do? favorite movies? please share. ( @mountmeadow )

Oh, I like the way you think. I could definitely get behind a day of watching movies. I am curious about the twelve things you’ll be demanding but I’m sure I can comply. I was always a fan of The Santa Clause. We didn’t have like family traditions that were outside the norm though, growing up. I am very curious as to what your favorite movie is.

Oh so very beautiful. I’m sure I will feel the same way when I have been here that long. Seriously? That would be so nice of you. I’m Sadie.

Of course! You just let me know when works for you and I’ll happily take you around. It’s lovely to meet you, Sadie. I’m Amita a long time resident of Mount Meadow.

“Okay so today is my first full day in town, and as nice as the change is I really don’t know anyone. I’m Lauren, do you want to grab a cup of coffee with me and exchange life stories? Haha.”

@mountmeadow

Welcome to town! I’m Amita, it’s nice to meet you! Don’t worry about not knowing anyone here. When I first got here I knew one person and I know everyone now, or at least it feels that way. We can definitely go for coffee though!

I’ve been a little MIA since moving to town, it’s nothing personal, I promise, I just wanted to get my new home organised before making a public appearance, but, I cannot tell you how excited I am to be here. I’ve heard so many stories about Mount Meadow but to actually see this place in person, I’m blown away! What’s your favourite place to visit here? I want to see everything! 

@mountmeadow​

I completely understand wanting to get settled before exploring the town. I did the same thing, even helped Freddy unpack before I completely dove into things when I first got here. This town has so many things going on it’s easy to just get lost in it and not do the simple things. But welcome to town! I really love the beach down at Rose Bay, I lived there for awhile and it just brings me lots of happy memories. 

hold up — haunted houses? that sounds sick, what? not your style? well, amita, it’s not everyday you meet kind strangers. i’d love to repay your kindness with a cup of coffee, at the very least. forreal, you’re probably gonna need it after being stuck with me for a little while.

Oh yeah, there’s a whole thing going on right now. You should really check it out. I went last year, got scared, had a blast and I think Freddy and I are planning to go every day until it closes this year. Oh alright, if you insist. I’ll take you to the best coffee shop in town, and no, it’s not white rabbit. 

anyone down to be my tour guide while i figure the town out? in return i’m promising laughs, a cup of coffee, and eternal serenading if that’s something you’re into. ready to get into the swing of things and leave LA behind, fresh starts and all that … also looking for my bandmates, if you’ve seen them running around somewhere. m’luke, band’s 5 seconds of summer. if you like ‘em, if not i’ve got no clue who those losers are. / @mountmeadow​

Laughs, coffee, and serenading are crowd favorites around Mount Meadow. Sounds to me like someone did their homework before moving here and we really love to see it. I can show you around, it’s better than forcing myself into one of those Haunted Houses, but I don’t need anything in return. Just consider me a kind stranger. Welcome to town, Luke, nice to meet you! I’m Amita and I do happen to know where a couple of your bandmates are.

Sometimes I feel like they’re just like Michael. Like father, like… fur babies? But exactly!!! I think they have more toys than we do necessities but you just can’t help but spoil them, you know? Hi, Amita! It’s very nice to meet you! I’ve heard great things about Bells and Chin Chin but Brodburger sounds up our alley so I think we’re going to head over there soon. Still trying to settle in but there’s just so much to do here it’s hard to figure out what exactly you want to check out.

I better be because you’re my favourite person in the whole universe. Hell no. I would be the worst person to be stuck outside for hours on end running from zombies. Nobody needs that. I’ll either sit there and be grumpy or quit halfway through. That sounds like the perfect night in to me. Yeah? We ready to do this? I mean, I’m ready. With you I’m ready for anything.

You will always be my favorite person, you never have to worry about that. You’re right, nobody does need to see that, including me. Which is why we’ll do a movie night and occasionally spy on everyone for being crazy, have a good laugh. I’m the master planner of perfect nights in, being the number one homebody. I think we are, I mean, I’m ready. We’ve done enough babysitting to be ready.

Burning the midnight oil.

Well now that Halloween is right round the corner and everything seems to be spooky around town. Would anyone like to come round for some spooky themed food and drink?

I promise to hold your hand as we go through all the haunted houses. We’re definitely not doing the zombie survival thing, though. We can just watch out of the windows from the safety of our house. You know me, I hate the cold so I’d be miserable the whole time if I was out in the forest the whole night. You know, we have a puppy now but I’m thinking we should expand the Carter family just a little bit more.

Thank you, this is why you’re my favorite person on the planet. Oh? You don’t want to try to survive with the zombies? I’m more than okay with that and would rather just watch from the sidelines anyway. We can make a whole night of it, stay in with the pup, drink some warm drinks, and watch everyone freeze out there. Oh yeah? Funny, I was thinking the same.

You should definitely try for a baby!! Babies are the cutest thing ever. I’m into both. I was going to do it spooky but I ended up giving up and will do a combination of both.

oh i would love to!! let me know when and i’ll stop on by! i also bet you have a spooky lights house and i can’t wait to see that too. you’ll love it, it’s gonna be stuck in your head.

Anytime is fine with me! I know you’re pretty busy these days so whenever you have time for little ol’ me I’ll be happy to see you. Oh, no, not spooky over here. You want me to have a heart attack? I mean, I almost do anytime I leave the house anyway, but well just come see for yourself.
