Rebellious Princess

S: Whatever you say Em, whatever you say...😋 But yeah, it's the most important thing to make any relationship work. That and honesty.

S: Don't look at me, I have no idea. Maybe to show that the drawing was as random as they want us to think? It honestly makes no sense. And? What do you think... good match for Max? I like her. I think they can make those 3 years work.

S: ☺️ Love you too! Yeah, we're just a little hard to find at times. ha.

S: I know. But that's one of my babies. So please be extra careful, kay?

S: Any plans for tonight?

Em: Hey hey hey - do not doubt my smarts, okay? I might not be MIT smart and nowhere near your IQ. However I have street smarts ;p Also true, very true. Honesty is important. Without honesty - no trust.

Em: I have no idea. It's just...ugh. I don't want to get married to that...that...well, I don't know him but I am sure he is a jerk. And Gabby...well, I am not sure about her. I do not trust her, to be honest. Not really. She seems nice to your face but there is just something about her that rings my alarm bells. Just can't put my fingers on what it is. So we better make sure she doesn't hurt Max.

Em: Good people are sadly rare, that is true. And don't worry. I always take good care of your babies ;)

S: Such wise words for someone so young :P But really, that's all you can do, listen. That, and talk about things. No matter the issue.

S: Yeah, I know, and there's nothing wrong with that. Have all the fun you can have before getting into that set up marriage one day. And thanks for saying that. You're the best little sister I could have ever asked for. I'm born in the wrong decade, no hang on, the wrong century. Yeah, that's it, the wrong century.

S: Yeah yeah, flattery might not get you everywhere but you know damn well that pout of yours is lethal! Just don't make me regret giving you the keys to that car, okay?

Em: Hah, what can I say? I am a wise woman😋 And aren't talking with sbd mistening to each other thd ost important parts to make a relationship work? Be it a romantic one or friendship.

Em: I still don't know just why he hell I am set up to marry one of the Jones' handymen. A freaking Garcia! Just...that makes no sense. I did meet his sister on that get away to New York, by the way.

Em: And of course. I mean, I give you loads of shit. And more often than not you have to help me when I screwed up. But I love you, you know. Also nope, you are not. There are plenty out there that feel like you.

S: Yeah, unfortunately, you're one of the few people who think like that when it comes to that part of a relationship. Most don't understand how it works or they think they do but when push comes to shove they get tired of waiting. Or think I don't think they're attractive enough. While that's not how it works. Looks are so not important to me. I see she's very, very attractive, it's just not what makes me tick.

S: She already gets to see sides of me only you and my friends see, you know, the more laid back side, singing along to Barbra and stuff like that.

S: Yeah, it does suck. And even though we keep saying it's just a 3-year business kind of deal, it's still 3 years.

S: Not fair, you know I can't say no when you're sad. You can borrow the BMW. Not a scratch tho!

Em: I think you can never fully understand what someone else goes through. After all no situation is exactly the same. Everyone is different. The only thing you csn try is to listen.

Em: You know, I LOVE sex. I do. I am a very sensual person. And I do not care about gender or gender identity. After all I don't like someones gender. I like the person. However, even I know that not everyone is like that. And its perfectly fine to take your time for these things. Whoever gives you shit about that does not deserve you in any case. You are worth so much more. And don't you let someone tell you otherwise.

Em: Which makes the fact that you guys are starting to click all the better.

That’s the day my dear father gets to see me officially and publicly announce I’m getting married to a man. Fingers crossed. Same Sex lottery - are you caught up that far? 7 is great. I’ll pick you up. 

He...what...? Wait so...a human right - marriage equality - is only given through that lottery thing?? Is that even legal? And nope - I wasn’t until now.  Perfect!! As about where we go - surprise me~

Of course. I only have two weeks left before that’s my life, too. We can drink about it together. Good to hear. It’s so boring without you. Can you do tomorrow night?

Oh?? Two weeks? What will happen then?? I just returned and am not totally up to speed yet. Awwww Bas, you are sweet. Sounds perfect! around 77?

S: Yeah, that's pretty much it. I need a deep emotional connection before feeling sexually aroused by someone. And this is not awkward at all to talk about with my baby sister, nope, not at all. So in a weird way this marriage thing is a blessing, we got nothing but time to maybe getting to that point.

S: Know what, If you ask nicely I'll let you borrow the Pruis.

Em: I wasn't only meaning sexually - although that is kind of the most amazing way. I also meant get close to you, let them see sides of you that you usually more hide, you know. And you mean since you basically are bound to each other for at least 3 years? Well, true in a way. Is still sucks that people are forced onto each other.

El: Hey there! No need to thank me. I'm so glad you were able to join us. Everyone loved you!

El: It was probably one of the best weekends I've had in a while.

Em: Awwww shucks! And I loved everyone. Especially Elliott - that guy is simply adorable!

S: Yeah, we're becoming really good friends really fast so that's a great start, you know how much I need that to even make this marriage thing work.

S: Agreed, that wouldn't be bad at all. As long as you plant a few trees after each trip. Why thank you. Finally, someone who appreciates my taste in cars. And no, flattery doesn't get you everywhere, you still can't borrow any of them. :P

Em: That is pretty awesome. And I know. I am still not sure that I totally get how these things work for you. But what I got is that you do need a deep connection to let people get close to you in an intimate way. So yes, this is a pretty great start for you guys. And I am more than happy about this.

S: Good to hear that you like her. She's really nice and I'm really starting to like spending my time with her. I like how we seem to be able to talk about anything and everything.

S: No, I was kidding. What in the worlds name would I need a plane for anyway? Buying it to just have it collect dust, not really my style. At least I can take my cars for a spin every now and then.

Em: She actually is pretty amazing, to be honest. And as long as she makes you happy and is good for you - I have no reason to not like her. I am glad that you two seem to get along so well.

Ah, that’s why. Will you leave again? You should stick around awhile, he says selfishly. Very true! You have to take hold of the good stuff. We should grab dinner or drinks or something. My treat.

Yepp. That and the whole marriage stuff. And you know - guess I will stay for a while. So this town will not get rid of me that quickly. Sure do. And that sounds pretty amazing! Dinner or drinks sounds perfect. Just tell me when, Bas. Can’t wait!

S: Oh that, that I've been doing more the last few weeks. The first time was cause El took away my laptop and gave me no choice but I kind of liked it so I'm finally getting my money worth being subscribed to Netflix for the first time in years.

S: It would be a great addition to my toy collection.

Em: Do you now? Really? Well that I am truly glad to hear. I like Ellie more and more, I have to admit. Especially if she has that kind of influence on you. That is good. Really, really good.

It truly has. What brings on the triumphant return? Fine is better than shitty. Oh, jesus. I’m sorry. That sounds rough. Nothing worst than shitty parents being shitty but in a hospital.

Well...my creator is in Hospital. Mom was quite insistent on me coming home. So...yeah. Here I am. Currently trying to figure out what exactly to do.  Oh it’s fine, really. I guess. He is due to be released next week. So that’s something. I agree though. However the good side is, that I see my brother, you, and other amazing people.

S: I got a feeling that you're not that far off saying that. Getting married to Ellie, I think I'll be seeing a lot more of Lima's nightlife than I ever did before.

S: I'm so jealous! I want one!

Em: You know - I don't even mean partying. I know you are not that much of a fan of that. I mean just put your feet up, relax, watch a movie. Simply take some time for yourself.

Lookit what the cat dragged in, 😸

Snow-mageddon is All Your Fault, Em. Meanwhile in local news, there’s a new cupcake place over on Wisteria, the Italian restaurant in South End closed down for health code violations (to the surprise of ZERO) – oh, and apparently the Parents That Be decided were weren’t gettin’ hitched fast enough, so they started setting deadlines and drawing names from hats. (Figuratively speaking. I don’t know that actual hats were involved. Or maybe they were? It’s slightly more entertaining to picture Mayor Smythe drawing names from a beribboned top hat or something.)

Meeeooowwwwww~ Hey there, darling-kitten!!! How are ya doing? Has been far too long!

Yepp...yepp it is. Call me Elsa. Only missing that bad-ass ice castle. New Cupcake place???? Now you know I will drag you there, right? Ugh Antonio’s closed? Well, not surprising, yes. That place was sketchy as fuck. The garlic bread was amazing though, gotta give them that.  Seriously? I heard there is some buffoonery and fuckery going on regarding this. But that? Wow...just...wow. That is just stupid as hell.  Hah - that visual is truly funny. Sad thing - it could also be true. After all no one has an idea how the drawing is done. Kind of outrageous that no one is there to control what is going on. They can totally cheat.
