「 𝐜𝐮𝐩 𝐨𝐟 𝐣𝐨𝐞 」

SPECIFIC CONNECTIONS:

We dated when we were younger, but broke up due to growing apart and we haven’t seen each other since. That is until right now as you stand there in front of me at the same event. We haven’t seen each other in years and things are a little awkward between us. I still want to stay in contact, we have a lot to process and a lot to talk about. Could we be friends after all of this? - DUA LIPA.

We were best friends as kids, we were never a part and always promised to stay best friends forever. But then we both began to get famous in our own right, causing us to grow apart and we haven’t spoken properly in years. Now we’re at the same place at the same time and things are a little awkward, it’s like we’re strangers.

Life as a celebrity can be tough, something we both can relate too. Sometimes the stress can get too much and we just need a break and to be treated like normal people. That’s why we hang out so much, to be there for the other when life gets too much, whether we sit on the couch and watch movies all night, or go on spontaneous trips out where we won’t get recognised and just have fun. ( this can either end up being the perfect friendship and solely platonic or they start hooking up with feelings getting involved.) - DUA LIPA.

We’re so close as friends that people either think we’re siblings or we’re dating, when in reality you’re my ride or die and everything is completely platonic. I don’t know what I would do without you honestly, so we just ignore the rumors and carry on being our chaotic selves.

We’ve been best friends for years, you’re the ying to my yang, my partner in crime and we go to each other for everything. We know all of each other’s secrets and you’re the first person I call for help. However there’s one thing that I/you never told you/me and everything has just come to light, can our friendship survive this?

Together we’re just pure chaos, whenever we’re together we always end up getting into trouble and going out. We are each other’s wing person and tell each other everything. We have the best times together though and whenever one just needs to let off some steam, the other is always more than willing to help out. Everything between us is just purely platonic and I don’t know what I would do without our chaotic times together.

We used to date back when our careers were just taking off, the whole thing was a PR stunt though made up by our managers to try and make us the up and coming IT couple. The world still has no idea that the whole relationship was a lie and that we actually never got along. I spent all this time not liking you, and I’m pretty sure you felt the same about me. However now that we’re adults and we’ve matured I think you’re not actually not that bad, could we be friends?

We’re flirting a lot in public, hanging out and going out to dinner multiple times a week. We’ve even been caught getting a little close one time outside a restaurant and now the world is starting to speculate we’re dating. If only they knew this was just a bit of fun, a PR stunt set up by our management to get people talking about us and our projects. We don’t really agree with it, hey we don’t even really like each other but it’s fun so where’s the harm?

A couple of years ago I was going through a bad break up and at the same time we were hooking up multiple times a week. You were just a rebound and you knew that and okay with it, what’s the harm with two adults having fun? However when my life started to pick up again and I was busy with work I ghosted you, you were no longer the one I called at 1am looking for some fun. It’s been ages and now I feel bad for leaving you in the lurch about what’s happening between us. Can we talk?

if you’re asking if i’ve been to mount meadow specifically before the answer would be no. but if you’re asking if i’ve been to the states before that answer would be yes.. a ton over the years. sorry to disappoint you but my cat wasn’t named after edgar allen poe. he was actually named edgar after the butler in ‘the aristocrats’ because i’m a huge disney fan. i have no idea where half of my stuff is it was a rather impromptu move on my part where things were just shoved into boxes. summer is just a horrible time, it’s way too hot for me. nice to meet you as well, joe! 

I was asking if you had been to the states before, yes. Hey Edgar from The Aristocats is just as cool, if not cooler. I loved that movie growing up, I haven’t seen it in a while. You definitely sound like how I would probably pack if it wasn’t for my wife making sure it’s all organised. It just takes so much longer to pack it all, it’s easier to throw it all into boxes. I get that, I feel like a lot of people aren’t a fan of Summer. How are you? How are you settling in?

a law you seemed to learn quite well — good job. did your miss our movies and cuddles nights? i bought some snacks and the kids are spending the night with their grandmother so we can have some cozy time. i know, wife goals. you know that will immediately cancel any contributions you, nick and kev have made, right? my vagina says no, thank you. it needs a little break from popping jonases. let’s stick to the practise for now and maybe we can rain check next year or maybe the one after that. i hate you. it does make me feel better but i’ll start telling our nugget the word mama every 5 seconds so it’s her first word. sorry, you have willa i need to have this one. now that is the reason why i married you. for now let’s just go skinny dipping in our own swimming pool and pretend we are wild.

I learnt the hard way in the beginning that this was something I had to abide by. Plus, not to get all sappy but I love seeing you be happy. I miss our movie and cuddles nights, especially the ones where we watch a movie we’ve seen a thousand times, acting like it’s because we love the movie, when in reality we just end up having sex as soon as the movie starts. I know it will, which is why I’m so certain it’s going to happen. Okay, okay, no planning more kids for at least a year. Since I had dada with Willa, I’ll let you have mama with Nugget. Then with the third baby we will fight till the death. How about we make some drinks, go skinny dipping in the pool and then end the night by spending ages picking a movie, only to not watch it as we have hot passionate sex.

You know, I will. I’ll find a way to get Freddy and I out there next year for the occasion. If you and Soph go then we’ll have us a big ol’ party the entire weekend. Oh yeah, the damn beds always hold the power, don’t they? Of course I did. Us girls have to stick together, don’t we? I’ll tell you one thing, the Halloween party was very fun and the entire month was filled with so many activities you couldn’t get bored even if you tried.

You never know, we might end up bumping into each other, if we do all end up going I’ll definitely look out for you. A big old party the entire weekend sounds great to me, I take advantage of any time I can get to be wild and let off some steam. I recently got back from Mexico and I swear the first thing I did was crash on the bed, like family who, I only want the bed. Can’t I be one of the girls, just for like five minutes while you tell me everything?

 you’re saying you are down for a friendly bet? okay bet I can last longer than that. Want to give me a time limit or can this on forever? I’ve heard that someone made it a couple months without  unpacking. thank you for that, man. I am definitely going to check out this places. hey maybe you might see me in the karaoke bar singing dnce songs. we’ll see. 

A little friendly bet never hurt anyone, so I’m betting you can’t last a week. If you last longer than a week then you automatically win. But what are we betting with here? We need something to win. If I’m not hearing you singing DNCE then I will be very disappointed, but you know I will be joining in.

Oh, lord. One of my kids friends loves something called Blippi and that crap is like one big acid trip! I was looking after her the other day and she asked for this dang show to be put on. Never again! Never ever again! Is it me or were kids shows so much better when we were children? Now it’s all seems more about being loud and in your face.

I haven’t heard of that one and I’m hoping Willa doesn’t discover it, I can’t cope with anymore acid trip cartoons. Shows in the 90s were definitely the best! I might show some of them to my kids and hope they grow up with some taste. Right? I mean they were some questionable shows when I was growing up, but they really are just chaos these days.

you had to let me win ? that’s how losers talk. i miss you too, babe. when are you coming back ? but why don’t we let frankie keep up the legacy, i feel like he would do great. i will need to analize this whole looking for a boy and maybe rain check in the next five years. of course !! or you think you guys are the only ones that turn everything into a competition ? the clue word is one day. not now and certainly not next year. but one day. till then we can practise. it does heal, thankfully. but the fact after hours of labor those kids just look exactly like you is no fun. willa is all the time “dadda this” “dada that” hey girl, it was mommy who carried you in her belly for nine months and then popped that big head of yours out of her tiny body. how comes skydiving is crrazier than skinny dipping ? do i eed to remind you the latter is illegal ?

No, if I want to live a happy life I have to let you win, it’s the law with husbands. Happy wife, happy life. In the next few hours I’m going to be back home and I honestly can’t wait, I need snuggles. I’m calling it now, Frankie will be the first to have a boy, it’s about time he contributed to the family. Don’t you want to just get it over and done with? Might as well have them close together and then we don’t have to worry about it. I can do that, practising is the fun part anyway, so we can practise as much as you want, I’m not going to say no. I can’t help that I’m the favourite with some strong genes. But if it makes you feel better they do say that babies tend to say dada first since it’s easier to say then mama. Oh shit you’re right, okay how about we skydive naked and land in the water?

Just clear your schedule for SDCC next year, that’s the big one and I have big goals to make it there one day. Exactly! I don’t know why it holds such power as soon as you get home, but it does and it knows it. Well yeah, I mean I may have told Sophie what goes on in town so if you really want to know…she might tell you. Oh, that’s too much work Joe. I’ll just wait.

You know what, I think I might do that, I might find babysitters and drag Soph along with me. Since I’m making time for it, you should as well, cross it off the bucket list. That is until you go to bed and you remember who really holds the power in the house. Wait you told Sophie and not me? That’s not fair! She’s only going to hold this against me. If it’s something that you want then it’s never too much work.

In my tired haze, I had forgotten what a ball ache unpacking was. From the boxes taking up the majority of my space to losing half my wardrobe and only being able to locate mugs instead of glasses, I'm losing my mind. I've unpacked my clothes and right now that seems like a reasonable place to stop for today so I've come to a halt. If anyone wants to join me for a glass mug of red wine feel free to come on over. I'm using a cardboard box for a table and don't have my TV hooked up yet but I found scrabble in one of the boxes so let's play. @mountmeadow

This is why I’m telling everyone to just leave it for as long as you can, just leave out of boxes for as long as you can. Who says you can’t just drink from mugs, glasses are overrated. You don’t even have the TV hooked up yet? That was one of the first things I did, but then I did have a two year old to entertain while trying to move everything in. I hope you found someone that can help?

I’m debating how long I can go without unpacking fully, i don’t know but my last time I unpacked it took me weeks after I got back home. anyone want to bet that I don’t last after that week? I can say however; i can see in the beauty of this mount meadows as I came into town. everything is so great, but since moving in I haven’t gotten to see everything yet. What are the best places to go to here? i’d love the suggestions. //  @mountmeadow·

Make it a challenge, see how long you can go before you have to do it, I’ll happily bet that you won’t make it a week before you have to start unpacking the boxes. You definitely have to check out the pier, or the lake, Oak Lake has some great places, I suggest Rosie’s bakery and the karaoke bar is a lot of fun.

I’m finishing up the last little bit of my unpacking since I had work duties to take care of before that prevented me from finishing and all I wanna do after is explore around and see if I can take a few photos of the area. I’m really into photography and at any chance I get, I love getting to snap a few photos. Also been wondering if there is a place around where I can get some good art supplies. I’ve been itching to get back into drawing and painting more especially since I have the time for it again. Beside my rambling about my hobbies, I’m Taehyung. I’m apart of the group BTS and I’m enjoying the hiatus we are on at the moment. How are the rest of you? @mountmeadow·

As someone else who loves photography trust me you’ll find some amazing places in town to take some photos. I’ve already been going crazy whenever I get the chance. I recommend the Lake, it’s beautiful there. I have to admit I’m never really on the look out for art supplies so I couldn’t say, but I’m sure there are people out there that can be better help than I’ve been. It’s nice to meet you Taehyung, I’m Joe and I’m a big fan, you guys are amazing.

so i’ve arrived from across the pond with my cat edgar, only to realize that unpacking is going to be terrible. i have way too many books and potentially not enough space to house them all. i think to counteract this feeling i might find a place to get bits and pieces of fall, halloween, and christmas decor. it’s september therefore it is officially fall and you cannot tell me otherwise. if anyone wants to come with me to get decorations let me know! oh, i fluffed on my introduction didn’t i? hello, i’m carrie! [ @mountmeadow· ]

Welcome to the other side of the pond, have you been here before? Please tell me your cat is named after Edgar Allen Poe? You should just say fuck it to packing, it can wait, as long as you have the things you definitely need. Fall starts whenever you want it to, although I don’t want to let go of Summer just yet, but I’m so ready for the Fall vibes and sweaters. It’s nice to meet you Carrie, I’m Joe.

“So, I just got here a few hours ago & I’m already in awe of how beautiful this place is; the air, the ocean, the mountains. Mount Meadow is basically paradise and is easing its way into my heart — definitely on my top five list, probably in third place. Jamaica and Italy are ranked higher. I need to unpack my belongings, but I’m thinking about abandoning the boxes, ordering takeaway and going to the beach for a few hours to decompress. If you’d like to join me, please do, I’d like some company.”

[ @mountmeadow. ]

It really is a beautiful place right? We fell in love with it straight away, in fact we ended up getting a place by the lake as well as our main house in Lone Pine. That’s a strong top three, Italy will always have a special place in my heart. Always ditch the unpacking, who does it straight away anyway? I hope you managed to find someone to join you!

Is it odd I kind of miss the my two coming into my room into the morning and sitting watching whatever was they wanted for hours? Treasure those days, sweetheart, as they pass us by far to quickly. What sort of shows is Willa into then?

Willa is still a little too young to be trusted without baby gates and all that, so we haven’t experienced her running into our room in the morning. But as much as I’ll complain about it, I can wait until both of them are old enough to do it. Oh I know, my brother’s kids are getting older and just seeing them grow up so quickly is crazy. She likes Paw Patrol, Peppa, Bluey, you name it if it’s annoying she loves it.
