#fatalems

her plate was full :     but her heart was not, and neither was her bed but that was a conversation for another time, and thus when the idea resurfaces     ——     spontaneity takes ahold. the same day she makes the decision she finds herself at the shelter. perhaps other factors had come into play, though the mission remained the same. get a new pet, and whatever other objects necessary     ( it was in poor taste to re - use waffles’ … and to throw them out, so the attic was quite packed these days ),     and if she happened to run into lou … then that’d just be a bonus. pathetic. she was well - aware of the fact. but very little could be done about it, she’d decided. and she has even less incentive to get over herself when a familiar face is spotted. 

alden liked to think she was halfway decent at reading people. after years of observing them and then later writing about their complexities, it wasn’t particularly hard to pick up on someone’s vibe. not their aura or anything, she didn’t believe in any of that hippie mumbo jumbo, just a general sense of who they might be based off the way they carried themselves. like lou holstad, for instance. she never went to school with him but had seen him around town plenty of times to get a general impression before they’d even met. sometimes you shouldn’t judge a book based off its cover but as someone who loved books, alden felt entitled to do so. 

F   :   FLIRT.   is your muse good at flirting? how do they flirt?

personally i think i’m amazing at flirting. anyone else agree?

U   :   UNREQUITED.   has your muse had their heart broken?

umm.... no <3

R   :   ROMANCE.   is your muse a romantic or a cynic?

im a cynic. 

B   :   BOUQUET.   does your muse like flowers? which ones are their favourite?

actually i’m allergic to pollen... so no... not really... 

Y   :   YOURS.   does your muse get protective easily?

2-4 SONGS THAT ARE PROBABLY ON THEIR IPOD: it’s all about the 80s and the 90s hits, so — i wanna dance with somebody by whitney houston, ...baby one more time! by miss britney herself, waterfalls by tlc, and of course, wannabe by the spice girls. honorable mention to girls just wanna have fun.

THE ONE PLACE THEY SOMETIMES END UP FALLING ASLEEP – WHERE THEY’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO: emma is probably chronic couch faller asleeper, especially when she’s wine drunk and bored of a movie. 

THE GAME THEY'D DESTROY EVERYONE ELSE AT: s/o to air for bringing up this four or five year old meme the other day, but now it’s UNO again. everyone watch out because she strikes hard with that draw four. 

THE EMOTICON THEY’D USE MOST OFTEN: she’s a basic bitch, it’s obviously :) or <3 ... maybe sometimes she’ll spice it up with :-) and give the emoticon a wee little nose ... if she’s living in the emoji:tm: era then it’s obviously the sparkly heart and the blushy smile

WHAT THEY ACT LIKE WHEN THEY HAVEN’T HAD ENOUGH SLEEP: forgetful and spacey af. one day operating on four hours she will forget to turn the stove off all the way and jack will die of carbon monoxide poisoning #RIPJACK ... get it trending

THEIR PREFERRED HOT BEVERAGE ON REALLY COLD NIGHTS. OR MORNINGS. OR WHENEVER: coffee. copious amounts of cream and sugar in it and it definitely tastes more like coffee ice cream than actual coffee. 

HOW THEY LIKE TO COMFORT/CARE FOR THEMSELVES WHEN THEY’RE IN A SLUMP: she needs to spend time with other people when she’d #depressed. movie night, game night ... she’s a basic bitch, a bottle of rosé and a rom com with the besties and she’s feeling better. 

WHAT THEY WANTED TO BE WHEN THEY GREW UP: hmm. i think maybe she always wanted to be a teacher, though probably not for kids as wee as she teaches now. she got a lot of pratice caring for kiddos when she was a kiddo, so she’s like ah, yes! my only skill! i think in a #dreamworld she would be a baker, though. 

THEIR FAVORITE KIND OF WEATHER: sunny and warm, like the boring SLUT she is. 

THOUGHTS ON THEIR SINGING VOICE (DECENT? TERRIBLE? SOPRANO? ALTO?): ah yes ... the only fc of mine i haven’t heard sing. so my guess then ... is she is not tone-deaf and can handle herself non-painfully at karaoke, but she can’t really sing at all.
