Love Life

Alena Alexander. 24. Barista at Café Névé. "Everybody line up, the show is about to start. You have to show a look, have a look, or give a look."

"They’re good, I have three-quarters of the menu nearly finalized. Designs a whole other world."

"Stationary biking? Like, the bikes in the gym that a bunch of women use all the time, but it’s a whole class? Does everyone just—cycle?"

[alena-alexander]

"You're almost there!"

"Yep, and we change speeds and resistances too. It's fun, you should join. There are a few guys who come to class, you guys can form a spinning gang as opposed to a motorcycle gang."

[i-danieljones]

"Absolutely not, been up to my elbows in an attempt to get menus out before Spring. But that’s about all. Been cooped up in my apartment for what seems like forever."

"What’s spinning class? With yarn and stuff like that?"

[alena-alexander]

"Then that explains why you haven't see anyone. How are the menus coming?"

"As much as I love yarn, not really, no. It's basically an indoor stationary biking class."

[i-danieljones]

"Oh, good. No way I’m missing that one."

"No but really, have you been up to anything interesting Alena?"

[alena-alexander]

"Interesting? No, not really. Productive? Somewhat. I've mainly been spending my time at work, watching old movies, or picking up a spinning class. The spinning class is a work in progress though, I've only been to two out of the five sessions."

"How about you? Has anything particularly fascinating happened in the life of Mr. Daniel Jones?"

[i-danieljones]

"Man, I missed something that fun? I’m good at miniature golf, I wish I’d have been able to go." 

[alena-alexander]

"Oh don't worry, we're going again next week. We liked it so much that it's now going to be a weekly thing."

[i-danieljones]

"This place feels pretty empty, maybe it’s the change of season? Everyone out and about?"

[alena-alexander]

"Didn't you hear? We all went on a miniature golfing retreat with a man named Jerry to ring in the spring"

@oliver_stat: i loved the first pup so much i went out and adopted another. reyna’s on the left and mordecai (the new one) is on the right.

[alena-alexander]

@n_alex: @oliver_stat see I knew you'd keep her forever.

"I am nowhere near alright with any of this, but thanks anyway." 

"I used to be alright with hospitals, most of the time; my family works with a lot of them. But after being in and out of them… yeah, they’re pretty shitty places to be." 

[alena-alexander]

"Family of doctors, I'm guessing?"

[sebastian-english]

"I’m going back tonight, I’ll let her know." 

"I’m— sure she’ll appreciate it, thanks." 

[alena-alexander]

"Thanks. I hope you're okay too, hospitals really aren't the best environments to be in. They're incredibly depressing."

[sebastian-english]

"It was nothing that you did…" 

"Yeah, she’s doing alright for now." 

[alena-alexander]

"Well that's good to hear. The next time you see here, could you tell her that someone that she most likely doesn't know hopes that she recovers soon."

[sebastian-english]

"My— friend is in the hospital."

"I just got back— It’s been kind of stressful." 

[alena-alexander]

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry to hear that."

"Are they stable?"

[shutupstatom-blog]

"That’s an interesting trait for a pet to have."

"I think I’ll keep this big guy, anyway. He seems to be comfortable with me, so until I have to get rid of him, he can stay with me.”

[alena-alexander]

"Kinda, yeah. She's a weird girl."

"Or you can keep him forever and name him Toby?"

[sebastian-english]

"Compared to everything else that’s happened today, a bit of shitty advice isn’t really that bad." 

[alena-alexander]

"Really? Your was that bad?"

"What happened?"

[sebastian-english]

"Thanks, but I’m not sure it’s actually helping." 

"At this point I might as well go get my own from my other jacket." 

[alena-alexander]

"Yeah, sorry. It kinda seemed to go downhill."

"That's probably your best option."

[sebastian-english]

"Are you just listing random people I can beg for smokes from?" 

[alena-alexander]

"At this point, yes. I'm cigarette-free but you seem to really need one so I was hoping that I'd recommend someone who you were guaranteed to get one from."
