douse yourself in kerosene

make a wish on our sorry little hearts, have a smoke, pour a drink, steal a kiss in the dark, fingernails on my skin like the teeth of a shark, i'm intoxicated by the lie, heart's on fire tonight, feel my bones ignite, feels like war

[oliivetrees]

Both, I think.

[afrosts-blog]

Then both you shall get.

[oliivetrees]

I think I might.

[afrosts-blog]

Pity-party or plastered-party?

[oliivetrees]

Kegs.

[afrosts-blog]

Sounds like you need a party.

Florida is full of weirdos. That’s probably why it’s a thing there.

If we did, they probably wouldn’t get done. Dude, if you rage quit, please have someone record it. There’s always a little humor in someone rage quitting.

[afrosts-blog]

At least they have the trigger-happy rednecks to stop the zombie apocalypse.

Nothing would ever got done without computers, let's be honest. I'll be sure to record it just so you can see me have an adult hissy fit, I promise.

Don’t forget those physics problems, though. To become even relatively similar to Emma Thompson is my life aspiration. She is a real fucking lady that deserves a hell of lot more recognition in the industry. I mean, Cate Blanchett is fucking great, too, don’t get me wrong, but Emma Thompson deserves something for her role in Saving Mr. Banks. Really? Darn, I was always hoping I could live vicariously through you and your acting skills once you’re in Hollywood. But I guess you can’t be a famous actress and a top neurosurgeon.

Please, I’m not that smart — just a knack for memorizing ridiculous hand symbols if anything. It actually is pretty in the French accent — I just don’t have it. But don’t start that princess bullshit with me, Aubrey. I already get called “Princess” enough by way too many people.

[afrosts-blog]

La la la la, I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that. She doesn't even look like she's fifty-four, which, hello, aging like fine wine. I didn't even know Blue Jasmine was a movie before award season started, honestly, but right? I have no idea why she, or Tom Hanks, wasn't nominated for pretty much anything. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be perfectly fine on your own when you're the top architect in the country.

You're smart as hell, don't even try to deny it. Everything sounds pretty in French though, but names are for sure definitely more beautiful if you can pronounce them properly. Okay, okay, I promise no princess bullshit. I'm perfectly fine with Val, thank you very much.

[oliivetrees]

Beer. Beer would help, maybe.

[afrosts-blog]

Okay that I can absolutely help with.

How much beer are we talkin' here?

[oliivetrees]

Yeah. Yeah, it was.

[afrosts-blog]

I, fuck, I wish there was something I could say to make you feel better but I know it absolutely fucking sucks and nothing is gonna help.

[afrosts-blog]

*whispers* kate and zach in one person

do not put that thought into my head because i will never let it go

[valerie-wilkes]

Oh, Jesus, it was so good. It should be winning a lot more awards than fucking American Hustle, to be perfectly honest. Emotional, confusing, or completely irrelevant. I wish they would’ve given more awards to Emma Thompson while she was drunk.

It kind of gets difficult since there’s so many different hand signs for so many different words, but I guess after a while you just memorize it. Don’t even worry about it, Aubs. It took me years to pronounce it correctly. You know those name games at the beginning of every year? When I was younger, I got asked what my middle name was and it just ended up saying “Aurora.”

[afrosts-blog]

You just made that decision for me; I know how I'm spending tomorrow. Oh, ew.I have no desire to see that, ugh. Emma Thompson is fucking awesome. She was holding her shoes in one hand and a drink in the other like a real lady. I wanna be like her when I'm her age, minus the whole acting thing, of course.

Obviously that's why you're the smartest person I know, because that even sounds too complicated. Yeah, but still. I'd feel bad. So I'll just stick to imagining how pretty it sounds. The name games and I have a complicated relationship that borders on way too much frustration to be honest, but yeah I remember. So does that mean you're actually Valerie "Sleeping Beauty" Wilkes?

[afrosts-blog]

[oliivetrees]

It fucking sucks, Aubrey.

[afrosts-blog]

That was your number one, wasn't it?

[oliivetrees]

Well, I guess Harvard isn’t the school for me.

[afrosts-blog]

Fuck, Grant--

[emmaleighpeters-deactivated2014]

Even if it was, if it means no school then I’m down with it.

Hand cramps are the absolute worst. If it were me, I’d knock those two worksheets out of the way and leave that paper for whenever. Unless they’re super difficult. Then I’d just rage quit and end up not turning it in.

[afrosts-blog]

Then you should really move to Florida, because that's an actual thing there.

At least we don't have to hand write papers anymore. Well I got, like, halfway through the first one, wrote my name on the second one, then got so distracted I forgot about them until this morning, to be honest. But I'm so close to rage quitting right now it's not even funny.

[valerie-wilkes]

They’re all alright. I get more distracted during good speeches than anything. I loved Lupita’s and she totally deserved to win anyway.

I decided to take ASL for the easy A and the fact that I couldn’t speak a lick of another language if I tried. Not to mention, the teacher’s actually funny — like, genuinely. Uh — it’s Aurélie. I looked it up once and it means golden, or some bullshit like that — I don’t really know. My mom picked it.

[afrosts-blog]

Lupita is my favorite actress in the running this year. I haven't seen 12 Years a Slave yet but I really need to. But the speeches can either be really emotional or a totally confusing. Like, god, Jacqueline Bisset's speech at the Golden Globes.

Kudos to you for that because I'd get confused in about two minutes if I even attempted a word in ASL. Arra what? Is it-- Oh god, I'm not even going to attempt that because I'd butcher so bad and end up feeling awful. It's really pretty though.

[emmaleighpeters-deactivated2014]

It’s all because of Martin Luther King Jr.

What’s it that you have to do? 

[afrosts-blog]

At least it's not for some bullshit reason like Rodeo Day or something.

Two worksheets and a paper. Which, admittedly, I really should start on but I don't feel like having a hand cramp the entire day off.

[valerie-wilkes]

There’s nothing wrong with a little multi-tasking, right? Do a little bit of essay while I watch the SAGs again.

Oh, Christ. I hate French. I might be a quarter or so French, but my accent is awful. I can barely pronounce my middle name.

[afrosts-blog]

See I could never do that because I'd get too distracted by all the men on my TV screen and nothing would be accomplished.

I've been taking it since Freshman year and I still hate it.  But, okay I have to know, what even is your middle name?

[ellie--culver]

What had been all the hype with the Beatles? Were they like, the One Direction for the old people?

[afrosts-blog]

Do not ever compare The Beatles to One Direction. What is wrong with you?
