pursuing happiness

Better him than Daedalus.

Jewelry has never sat well on me. It’s bulky, it gets bumped into things. I haven’t fully trusted anything bigger than a pocket watch ever since Final Destination 2.

Poor Icarus.

Miles: ...explain to me again how hot hot yoga is ?

Miles: But you go, girl.

Miles: So your hair is all precious and mine looks like doo doo? I don't think so. I'm doing both.

Miles: Come overrrr. Brookie misses Dad and Chip has been inconsolable.

Jill: between 90-105 degrees. We usually hover between 90-100.

Miles: Equality. Right on.

Miles: They are meant to be tailored to show off what's one's best assets.

Miles: You didn't wait on me to put on face masks together? I'm hurt.

Jill: I filled in and taught some hot yoga on top of taking double aerial classes today.

Jill: I could feel acne forming. It needed to be done.

Just on your ankle, maybe?

There’s that, but I meant actual permanent tattoos on fingers. Like wedding bands. Aren’t those very sweaty places? Prone to rubbing off?

Like a modern day Hermes...

Besides the classical stuff like a, uh, butterfly? Something that’s meant to symbolize Kafka and metamorphosis and change itself?

I think you could fit some wings. Because of your personality and your passions. Personally, I’m curious about that tradition where people tattoo their fingers. How long it takes them to wear off and whatnot.

Just, like, little ones, right? I don’t want anything huge.

Miles: Same, I forgot who's meant to chip in for what at what part of the union.

Miles: I do wear tailored suits pretty darn well.

Miles: I'm going to order ice cream from that place with working students who always appreciate a good tip. You should get your cute tush to my place. Yes?

Jill: I am sure a lot of people do it themselves and forget tradition. It should be a joint thing anyway I think

Jill: Heck yeah you do. Those shoulders and that booty.

Jill: You sound like a responsible old lady

You had, but I’m not as well-versed on the subject matter. Isn’t there anyone else you could ask for a recommendation? And maybe get an outline?

I’m sure there is. I was, am, still set on this guy because it’s so permanent, you know?

Miles: I can't imagine his family putting out the dough for the grand thing, tbh. However lovely it'd turn out to be.

Miles: But, someone as lovely as you should wear anything that she would set her heart to. Specially on her day.

Miles: Don't think I'll be wearing a skirt, though.

Miles: Do you wanna get some ice cream and have a tv marathon with me? Or is that something old maids would do?

Jill: I could see my family doing it tho. I don't know if I'd want anything huge tbh but I doubt anything will happen for a long long long time

Jill: Oh no, no dress for you. a suit tailored for the gods.

Yet I still insist that open-heart surgery isn’t so… hard to get to.

The arts were never my forte, Dawson. You wouldn’t want me doing anything so permanent to your skin. …What’s so incredible about that guy, anyway?

Well heart surgery is more of a necessity and you don’t really get a choice of who does it. This guy is a master of his craft. His tattoos look like real watercolors but on your skin. I showed you the pictures, didn’t I?

Miles: We need a weekend.

Miles: I am still holding out hopes of ever getting myself into 'Say Yes to the Dress'. But this would be a good preview.

Miles: Also are you planning on getting married in the not-so-distant future???

Jill: Yes. I agree.

Jill: I think it'll be a while for me to get a ceremony, if ever.

Jill: Will seems more common law than canon in d lol

Jill: I will petition to get you on that show

I don’t think most surgeons would be booked so far in advance. Is he aware that we’re almost into January?

I guess if you want someone who does good work then you have to wait.

Jill: Babe, we need a night.

Will: There wasn't a professor, just other students.

Will: I'll see what I can find.

Will: Found It's brush in my bag today.

Jill: he must miss you too

Jill: or he doesn't want me to brush him

Jill: I am researching tattoos btw

Will: My girlfriend missed me is not convincing?

Will: You're really not gunning for a kiss after dinner.

Will: Ice cream?

Jill: not to most professors

Jill: but you're a boss if that's what you told them lol

Jill: mmm insert something witty about my tongue burning as hot as my passion or something

Will: Been stuck in lab hours all day

Will: x.X

Will: About ready to go crazy can I get some takeout then never move again?

Will: going to use your texting as an excuse to leave btw so Chinese or Thai or pizza?

Jill: I think that can be arranged

Jill: Thai. Extra spicy and extra vegetables pls.

jill: I just realized that I haven't text you all day

jill: and I had to fix that
