Hey me! It’s great to see you too, chickadee. Oh yeah, I have so many rehearsals. All of the rehearsals. It’s nuts, but the kind of nuts I’m used to. I’ll text! For sure! Maybe we can get up to something soon. I am great, the picture of super sweetness. Adorable and loved. Ughhhhh, and you were just asking fo texts, where’s the incentive stories, Brooke? 

Well thanks! I don’t see how you do it, honestly. I mean, I guess all of our lives and jobs are stressful enough in their own rights, but that has to take the cake in a way! Awesome! I’m always looking for things to get up to! So, you know where to find me! I mean, I guess that really depends on what you’d consider to be an incentive story. I’ve got plenty involving silly animal antics, and the weird things dogs eat. If that’s of any interest to you!

Well, it sounds like you had a brilliant time. I can get behind another person that takes it all the way to 11 without needing to be asked. Did any of this pan out or what? It’s almost a month late, but inquiring minds totally want to know. 

That’s one way to put it! Things definitely turned out better than I could have expected, I’ll give you that! Well, you know me Devon, I’ll always be that person! Is it unnecessary? Probably. Do I care? No, no I don’t. It did! Things went pretty well, and I’ve got a group who are interested in making it a regular thing. If you ever wanted to join, we’d love to have you. It’s never too late, don’t worry! How have things been going with you? Did you do anything special for Valentine’s Day?

I made plans for Hunter and I to hang with him, but I haven’t seen that specific shade of platinum since. That’s you, you’re right about that. So when’s the campaign for presidency penciled in? Little old me? I have to say, I’m happy. Having a great time. I have less than no complaints. 

Oh Sebastian, your specific brand of humor has been sorely missed, let me be the first to tell you. I think he’s been taking some time for himself, but if I hear from him I’ll send him your way. Funny, that’s funny. As great as it would be to spend four whole years in the White House, I don’t think I’m the person anyone wants as the President. The policies would be all jacked up, it would be a whole mess. Thanks for the faith though! You? Happy? We really must have been propelled into some alternate dimension. I’m kidding, of course. I’m happy you’re happy, Sebastian. Everyone deserves that. 

You’re very welcome and I meant what I said. Well you deserve all the compliments. That sounds awesome. Thanks. I would love that. Is it bad I haven’t had brunch very many times? That’s awesome. How did it turn out? Great! I’m pretty flexible. How about tomorrow? Does that work for you?

You’re so sweet Marley, seriously! Great! Oh gosh girl, it’s not bad, but I definitely need to introduce you to the ways of brunch! It’ll be a whole new world, and you’ll love it I’m sure of it! It turned out really well actually, I was pretty impressed. I was expecting maybe a few people, but a lot actually came out! So, I’m pretty pleased! That absolutely works! How does 11:00 AM sound?

I am very excited for it to be honest, it’s literally a dream come true. Thank you. Oh how is that going for you? I am back in NYC absolutely love it here.

I can only imagine! Well, you know you’ve got a supporter in me! You’re just out here rocking all the things, Annie! It’s so inspirational! Of course! It’s going well, I think. I mean, like I say, it’s never not going to be stressful, but I’m making it. It helps when you love what you do, you know? You are? Oh my gosh, okay, we HAVE to get coffee! Like, ASAP! 

Jared: Well I am here now, I'll start my reparations now, no salt involved, I promise.

Jared: You didn't! Now who's dropping the ball, tisk tisk, my friend. Tisk.

Jared: He's very territorial of that space so be warned, but honestly, you should both be careful because it's a madhouse in this head. But hell yeah on the shared brain moment!!

Jared: I would invite you over here, but Benjy's got stuff out to tinker with, so it's not the...safest environment. But for sure, we could call and queue something up if you're into that. But you know what that means; we'll have to actually settle on something. Do you think we have the power to do so?

Jared: [...]

Jared: Also did I just watch you do a backflip off of your head???

BROOKE: I'll hold you to that. You know I run a tight ship over here, Rose. No funny business, got it?

BROOKE: Alright, alright, lay it on me. I see how you are. One teensy slip up, that's all it takes. I'll remember that.

BROOKE: Hey, I'm pretty sure I could go toe-to-toe with your brother and come out...Pretty okay. Like, maybe not totally fine, but I /am/ pretty scrappy you know. Kidding, I wouldn't fight Benjy. But, I'm going to need him to make accommodations. I'm already here and unpacking. That's alright, I'm used to madhouses. I'm pretty sure I can handle it. I feel like that happens to us a lot, and frankly I'm not even mad about it.

BROOKE: Is he still doing his candy experiments? That's cool, I get it. Thanks for the protection, it's appreciated. I'd like to not get blown up or anything, but I'd also like the same for the both of you so...Be careful, yeah? I am definitely into that. It'll save me from a night of total pointless boredom. Oh, I think we can. We just have to set ourselves up for success. Like...Okay, we have 5 minutes to pick something, or I'm turning on 'Titanic' and you can watch me sob for 3 hours solid. That kind of stipulation. Because I'm telling you, I cry from the opening credits to the end credits, no joke.

Jared: Twelve hours?? Already?? That can't be right, I swear that was only a few minutes ago. If I had realized, I would've done all I could to save you from the hurt. I will have a meeting with the mob boss for retribution.

Jared: What's a joke, I don't know her

Jared: Ahhhhhh, I am currently in the middle of the riveting practice called 'Scroll Netflix for hours on end, adding things to my list that I will forget are there in five seconds and end up not watching anything at all.'

Jared: What about you?

BROOKE: I know! I was scandalized myself! But, it is in fact the truth, and one I'm going to need you to make up for stat. Would you have, Jared? Would you /really/? Or are you just placating me? And when I'm already in such a vulnerable state. Pour salt on my wound, why don't you? You'd better. I don't want to have to call him myself, but we both know I will.

BROOKE: Shit, I thought for sure I introduced you two! That's my bad, I'll take that one. I hope you're free Friday night, though. I'm definitely introducing you then.

BROOKE: Oh my gosh, no way! We're totally operating on the same wavelength right now, just so you're aware. Tell Benjy I'm sorry, but he's going to have to compete with me for telepathic space in your mind now. It's official.

BROOKE: Hey you! Long time no talk- and by long time I mean approximately 12 hours. I, for one, find that completely unacceptable. And frankly, I'm hurt. Distraught. In tears. Great job, I hope you're proud.

BROOKE: I'm joking, if you didn't know that.

Hats off to the guy with two thumbs and enough energy to get on the internet. And oh hey wait, that’s me. What a surprise, I know. What’s up, party people? I’m Devon Lennox, for those of you that haven’t formally met me. Yes, the Devon Lennox of the Crawford family, currently headlining on Broadway and yes I’ll sign your VHS of me as a kid if you bring it to the stage door. Glad we got that out of the way. What’s everyone been up to this weekend? I’d better hear some good stories, don’t waste those beautiful lives. 

Hey you! Oh my gosh, it’s so great to see you back! I know those rehearsals have been sucking up every bit of your time, but toss a text to an old friend every once in a while why don’t you? How have you been, Devon? My weekend has been uneventful, sorry to disappoint. I picked up a shift yesterday, so I worked for an extra 9.5 hours. Most of today has been spent cleaning and trying to rest. Though, sometimes that seems impossible doesn’t it? 

So my new single has been out for a few days and you can check the video out here. I love this song and the video. This means my album is nearly done and ready to be released and I am so excited for you guys to hear it. How is everyone? Are you ready for March? 

I’m sure you’re pumped for that, it sounds like it’s a pretty exciting time for you! The song is awesome, I’m sure the rest of the album will be the same. Things for me are hectic as always, but I definitely wouldn’t have it any other way! Are you back in the good ‘ole NYC?

Does anyone have any recommendations for tv shows to watch or podcasts to listen to? Preferably long episodes, preferably not serial dramas or procedurals. Something to really keep a person awake during the dead of night when they’re trying to make sure no one steals a dinosaur skeleton.

I hate to say it, but I think those stipulations just kind of took it out of everything I might have suggested! But, that’s alright. Everyone has different tastes! And, if you find something interesting, definitely let me know! I’m curious as to what’s out there, and I can always use another good show to get sucked into! Okay, what is it with people and posting these vague comments about stuff I’m clearly going to need to know about? Like, what kind of life do you lead that your main quest is to defend prehistoric bones? Give me the deets!

Gotta admit, watching my wife get wine drunk at industry parties during Fashion Week is far more entertaining than it should be. Always figured I’d struggle with her drinking, what with me being sober and all, but honestly, I get a good laugh out of it more often than not.

How’s everyone else doing? If you don’t know, the name’s Adeline. I’m a photographer and apparently considered half of one of the fashion industry’s most powerful couples. Still not sure how I feel about that one.

I’m...Admittedly not quite sure what to say about the first part of this. Or the last part, really. But, hi! We haven’t talked in a bit, I think you responded to my Valentine’s Day post. Here’s hoping everything is going well for you!

This is it! I am ‘keeping’ my wife, and staying in Mexico with her forever! I swear, this little getaway was everything we needed as a couple, and I don’t know if I am ready to leave the hot waters and go back to NY and then to Cali. Guys, what’s happening?! I am so anti-Valentine’s Day and now look at me!

Oh my gosh, Mexico has always sounded like such a gorgeous place to visit, I have no doubt you had a blast! It sounds like you two got some much needed time together. That’s always so important! And, I’m glad you had such a happy Valentine’s Day!

So it’s been a while since I actually did one of these but Hi, how is everyone doing? Guess what guys? It’s my opening night of Legally Blonde the musical today, I am playing Emmett in the show and honestly I am so excited but nervous. You can get tickets, but not for tonight as they are sold out and honestly as much as it’s nice my parents actually want to support me, I am kind of dreading them being here. At least Annie will be there too. Also if people have seen Sing 2 please let me know what you think.  Think that is all my updates. What’s everyone else been up to?

Okay, so this is about to sound totally cliche, but I’m not embarrassed one singular solitary bit. I love, and I do mean love Legally Blonde. The empowerment, the the general undertone of fuck you, I just...Can’t get enough. When I was younger, I wanted to be Elle Woods. All of that to say, you’re going to rock this! I’m buying a ticket as we speak, I can’t wait to see the show! It sucks, being nervous, but just remember that this is what you’ve worked for! You’ve got this! Everyone is rooting for you, literally. It’s going to be the best! I haven’t seen Sing 2 yet, but I so enjoyed the first one, I’m sure it’s going to be fantastic! As far as what I’ve been up to- work, as usual. I feel like that’s just about all I do these days. Well, and video games. I’ve been making more time to hang out with friends lately, which has been the best!

If you’d told me at the beginning of 2021 that by February of 2022 I’d not only be playing League of Legends again, I’d be playing ranked, I’d have laughed so hard I cried. And yet… here I am, spending most of my free time playing a game that probably took entirely too many years off my life.

But also, if you haven’t watched Arcane, whether you’re interested in League or not, please do. You won’t regret it. Unless you’re someone who doesn’t like animated things, or lesbians, then… I can’t help you.

You know, I keep hearing about League, but I haven’t actually played it myself. Care to elaborate a bit more on the game itself? I know I’ve heard a million times, “oh, it’s so addicting!” But, like, most games are I think! I just need more details. 

Aren’t you just the busiest little bee, Brooke?

Hey, Sebastian! Long time no see, thanks for correcting that! Have you talked to Jeff lately? I guess you could say that, you know me. If I’m not all over it and all up in it, I’m not really there. How have you been, Casanova?
