shoot me down, i won't fall

AVERY GRACE TURNER; when she's all alone, it feels like it's all crashing down. I seriously hope there’s more to life than this shit. The one thing I’ve learned throughout my life- the one thing that’s been a constant through all of this, is knowing that there is no silver lining. Things don’t just 'get better'. No matter how many stars you wish on, or how many blessings you count- nothing changes. And that’s why I hope there’s more to life than this.

Be-cause I wanted to? I am allowed to do that. We are in America?

Alex.

[averygracet]

Yeah, sure. I guess you caught me at a bad time.

Splendid to meet you.

[graciewevans]

Um…no? I mean I’m not trying to be anything, this is just me. And I don’t get how being happy about things could be soul-crushing in any way. 

[averygracet]

It can be soul-crushing, because you gotta let a little misery into your life every once in a while. Whatever, sorry I spoke. I'm Ave, by the way. Nice to meet you blondie.

[arthur-foodabrams-deactivated20]

You know, I really need to know more about this. You should show me the pictures once they are ready. Wanna talk about it? if you don’t , I totally get it 

[averygracet]

How about, you're my first port of call for creative criticism when I take my test shots? I- Not really, Art. Sorry.. I mean- it's just- I guess it's a sore subject.

[arthur-foodabrams-deactivated20]

I knew this Matchmaker thing was bullshit

If I had any self control, I would have said “no” when they offered me the ticket

[averygracet]

And this is why I didn't sign up for it. It's a dumb idea, in my opinion. Why put your love on the line like that when there could be a girl- or guy- just round the corner?

[arthur-foodabrams-deactivated20]

It sounds like you’re going to spend a lot of quality time on photoshop. Are  you okay?

[averygracet]

Hah, yeah probably. Also there'll be a lot of stage make-up involved.. Yeah, I'm fine. Just been thinking about a few things.

[wanky-tana]

Do you plan on at least trying to tell more interesting stories?

[averygracet]

You didn't have to read it. But I guess I can be more interesting, if that's something you want? I've got plenty of stories.

[alexwreathisbetterthanyou]

I’m trying to think of something to say to this, but- I got nothing.

[averygracet]

So, why did you say something?

Whatever, I'm Avery.

[mileswinstons-blog]

I don’t think I know who you are, madame.

[averygracet]

Name's Avery. Decided it was time to make myself known around here. Nice to meet you, I guess.

[graciewevans]

Honestly? Yeah.

[averygracet]

Do you not get tired of it? I mean- I get the whole, need to be cheery thing, but does it not get soul-crushingly tiring?

[natecallaghan]

I think all of my bad luck compounded today - I nearly cut my finger off in class, poked a hole through a new canvas, and a homeless dude tried to deck me when I was downtown. On the plus side, I’m now watching really lame horror movies on Netflix. It’s a step up, let me tell you. 

How’s everyone doing?

[averygracet]

A homeless guy tried to deck you? What the fuck? Also, is your finger okay? I mean- in one piece?

I'm alright, I guess. Just tryna work out some kinks in a thing I'm gonna start planning.

[graciewevans]

You guys the Olympics are like, my favorite thing in the whole world. I’m so happy right now! 

[averygracet]

Are you always this excitable?

[averygracet]

I don’t even know what time it is any more, but I’m reading books about mythological creatures and the ideas for my next photography project are buzzing around in my brain. I also really miss Wilmington today.

Eh, things happen. A girl losing a guy isn't the end of the world and I'm sure she'll move on.. Anyway, whatsup?

[cammiecrowley]

I gotta start hanging out at Starbucks more often.

[averygracet]

Eh, it's not that great a place to hang, but occasionally you get some excellent entertainment.

[madsreynolds-deactivated2014021]

So...

[madsreynolds-deactivated2014021]

Well if you really want to see us compete then come. It’d be nice to get a big crowd to see all of us. I mean I’m not forcing you to join, I know a lot of people aren’t in any of the three choirs. Yeah I can if you really want me to…

[averygracet]

Yeah, I'll think about coming. The whole singing, dancing scene has never been my thing. I get bored easily and I wouldn't wanna screw anything up. If I decide to sign up, I'm gonna keep you in mind for that help.. I guarantee I'll need it.
