Do they bother you often?

[abbybehindthelens]

Not usually. I've been pretty stressed lately, though, so I think I'm just a little more susceptible to feeling sickly.

[abbybehindthelens]

-sniffs- I'm sorry about the sniffles, it's allergy season.

[abbybehindthelens]

It would not surprise me if you heard this “joke” many times in your life, but to me it is not. When I hear the name Abigail Grace, not only do I think the name is one that is fun to say, I think of a girl who is so driven and passionate about her interests that it makes me pause and take notice. It is not every day a freshman already has such a strong sense of self. I find it a very beautiful character trait that you posses. I wish you luck in all your future endeavors. You will always have me as a fan. Happy Valentine’s Day

I love Rush Week

I mean honestly, how can you not?

[abbybehindthelens]

This is my first one on the inside. I'm psyched.

[ivaivaivanov]

Sounds like heaven, though any place with power and no flash flood warning sounds like heaven to me right now. Where in the desert are you from anyway? You seem like a small town girl to me. Here- UV blue raspberry.

[abbybehindthelens]

I'm from near Vegas, so not exactly small town. I get where you're coming from though. -swigs- Ugh. How do you do this?

[ivaivaivanov]

Let’s go visit your family until the weather goes back to normal, then. Anything to get away from Caligo for awhile. Sounds better than sitting around listening to people reassure me that everything will be fine when clearly we’re all in very real danger. Sure sweets, got a flavor preference? I was about to crack open a new bottle.

[abbybehindthelens]

We cant get out of here until the storm is over, but afterwards we could run away. Back into the desert where there are no threats of death by storm. No preference, just alcohol.

[ivaivaivanov]

Join the club. I’ll probably puke before Ursula is said and done, but oh well. You’d think I’d have gotten used to this shit, I’ve lived in Cali my whole life.

[abbybehindthelens]

I live in the desert. To avoid tropical storms. This is hell, and I am in the middle of it. Can I still get some of that vodka?

[ivaivaivanov]

No, I don’t mind, can’t imagine why you’d want to sit with me right now, but I don’t mind. Want a drink?

[abbybehindthelens]

Nah. I might puke, since the storm is stressing me out so much.

[ivaivaivanov]

I’ll be okay when I’m too drunk to remember that there’s a fucking hurricane outside. Don’t worry about me Abby.

[abbybehindthelens]

I'm gonna worry anyway. D'you mind if I sit with you for a little bit?

[ivaivaivanov]

Fuck this tropical storm shit. I- Fuck! I hate storms. I do not have enough alcohol to deal with this.

[abbybehindthelens]

 Um, Iva? You okay?

[abbybehindthelens]

Abby Grace can list her flaws as follows...

Naive; Abby doesn't know what to expect in a world as huge as the one laid out in her future. Her choice of future profession also seems a bit out of her depth at times, as she's going to be seeing some potentially horrible things in her lifetime, and is going to be responsible for giving such information to the public.

Resistant to Change; Unless she is the catalyst for a big change in her life (ie selecting an out-of-state college), Abby is afraid of and will do her best to sidestep disturbances in her life. Her lack of experience makes her very wary of what the world might hold, and she is often intimidated by it.

Overly-Obsessed with Planning; Building off Abby's inability to handle sudden changes well, her coping mechanism lies in planning out everything she can. Her future career goals, housing plans, and major life milestones have all been dreamed out and meticulously noted by the small blonde.

Headstrong; Despite being intimidated or sometimes seriously overwhelmed by all she takes on, Abby Grace can be trusted not to say a word to anyone about her stress levels. Her absolute confidence that she can do everything hurts her sometimes, but isn't a lesson she takes to heart.

Perfectionist; As if trying to do everything wasn't enough, Abby only takes on what she thinks she will excel at, before throwing herself completely into being the absolute best. More or less running herself ragged to meet her own standards is something that Abby is no stranger to.

[blakexmalikova-deactivated20160]

I meant I’d still be here in Zeeger.

[abbybehindthelens]

Aaaand does that mean you're never coming to meetings or events next year?

[blakexmalikova-deactivated20160]

That is true. Although not much more than we do now, I’ll probably still be living here next year.

[abbybehindthelens]

Well, I'll be in the house, so as long as you're there, I might be too.

[blakexmalikova-deactivated20160]

That or most people just have bitchy resting face. All the time. 

That would make you seem hell of a lot happier than most others in comparison All that being said, happy you doesn’t bother me..

[abbybehindthelens]

True. Glad that doesn't bother you, since we'll be spending lots of time together as sisters and all.

[blakexmalikova-deactivated20160]

While you are small and perky I wouldn’t say you looked like you took too many happy pills. You are annoyingly happy though! Kidding.

[abbybehindthelens]

I'd rather be happy than scary. Always. Maybe it's just 'cus everyone's chronic bitch face comes out when they think too hard.

[blakexmalikova-deactivated20160]

This small perky freshmen who looked like she’d popped one too many happy pills.

[abbybehindthelens]

I never called you scary.
