Son Can You Play Me A Memory?

Thank you so much, and thank you for helping me have other offers on the table I appreciate it so much, Blaine.

Oh it was no problem. I’m just glad you’re going to be performing again. I’m definitely looking forward to hearing you live. Even if I did listen to Cool for the Summer 100+ times...

Well now you know why they’re hopping away from you in fear.

I fail to see how that qualifies as “worse”. They’re similar situations, and they definitely share a common disrespect for the current season on the part of big business. “Equally irritating” I could see, but not “worse”.

It was a bit of an exaggeration, but regardless, I think swimsuits during the winter is worse. I can see people needing them for vacation, but there’s no need for walls of swimsuits.

Poor kid’s nervous macking on someone like me. It’s understandable. Lucky for both of you, I no longer have the interest I used to have in him. You’ve gotten further than me and Dani. I’d been doing some planning back in the summer, but I just kind of….I don’t know. Back when we originally decided we would stay married and have an actual wedding, I said I wanted a winter wedding, but that doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen. You’ll probably get to walk down the aisle before I do.

I’m sure after a few practice kisses on stage he’ll get used to it. The interest you used to have in him? I guess I never realized you had a crush on Sam. If that’s what you meant, at least. What’s holding you back? And is there any way we can help try and push it along if you two want to still do the winter wedding?

Private: 

I am listening to you. Look, maybe if we sat down and had dinner or went out or something. I’m actually planning on staying through the holiday at least, I found a decent apartment.

Private: 

I don’t think Steve and Bunny are big fans of Footloose. They keep hiding while I’m rehearsing. Or maybe it’s just my dancing they don’t like. 

Well if you think of it this way, they are hopping around on the ground and you’re basically shaking the floor while you’re dancing. It’s like, little bunny earthquakes.

.. No.

I actually think it’s worse when you see bathing suits out when there’s still snow on the ground. But they figure the sooner they put them out, the faster they’ll sell and the more they’re sell.

I’m excited to say

That’s fantastic Dani! Congratulations! I’m glad you’re going to be back in and performing. I’ll be sure to load up on merch next time I’m there!

I’m sorry for being excited and wanting to share my accomplishments with my family. Alright, sure, I may take it to an extreme at times but it doesn’t mean I don’t care about you, baby bro.

You’re not even listening to me. 

She’s not really the publishing type. She’s an active lawyer so her time is mostly spent defending clients, rather than writing literature. But her name is  Kalia Coleman, if you want to look her up. I should be able to stay with her until I ever leave school, if I decide to go somewhere else for law school, or she decides she no longer wants to work with me. We get alone well, so I don’t think the latter will be a problem, so that’s good.

Just to stave my curiosity, I think I’m going to look her up and see what kind of cases she’s won and the like. At least you get to have her as a mentor throughout your lawyer career?

In that case, on behalf of everyone, let me thank you for not choosing that as a major.

I know, I’m terrible at transitions. But I saw the cast list and Sam’s been talking a lot about your on stage kiss, so have fun with the big lips. Yes and no. We’re starting to try and narrow down some of the things in our binder. But we haven’t picked a date yet.

Constructive criticisms. I’m trying to support you. Okay, so I have been less than a great brother lately. I showed up because we haven’t seen each other in a while. What did you want me to do? Stay gone? Don’t answer that because I think I know what it’s going to be. I want to spend time with you, but suddenly you don’t want that. I’m trying to make things better.

I don’t call you because it’s only ever about you, your accomplishments, and what you’re up to, and I’m sick and tired of having to hear it. And what it means is that when something is important to me, or something matters to me, you really don’t seem to care.

Ian Craig. He’s an acting professor at Northwestern.

I don’t think I know him after all, actually. How long has he been teaching there?

Sounds like me as a child. My poor parents might be able to offer some insight. Shame you aren’t a psychology major. You could use him for a case study.

I think if I was a psychology major, I’d have a harder time realizing that I am a bit of a control freak. And I’d be trying to psycho analyze people more than I already do. By the way, how have you been?

Then we’ll burn it or something. That’s usually part of these sort of rituals. 

Uh oh, it sounds like someone has been watching too many horror movies on Netflix. Halloween is over my love.

My mentor is fine, actually. She’s actually really nice. But for most people, that’s just the price of the industry. There’s not a whole lot anyone can do, especially because these are some of the most important lawyers in the area. All I can do is be glad my mentor really likes and supports me and be determined to do the same when I become a lawyer myself.

Has your mentor published any good literature that you know of? I’m interested to know who you might be working under. Especially if she’s being good to you. Is she your mentor from here on out or will you have to get another one?
