We should start a band.

[carterwhitaker]

Got a name in mind?

[ariellevanderbilt-blog]

I can’t believe some people don’t like classical.

[carterwhitaker]

There's no accounting for taste, Ari.

[ariellevanderbilt-blog]

I didn’t know that Vivaldi had such colourful lyrics until yesterday.

[carterwhitaker]

That's the beauty of it. Lost words through the ages, I tell you.

[ariellevanderbilt-blog]

Thanks for hanging out yesterday.

[carterwhitaker]

Don't mention it, I had a good time.

Hello, Arielle.

[carter-whitaker]

[ariellevanderbilt-blog]

Tell them you broke your hand.

[carterwhitaker]

That may be either the best or worst idea I've ever heard.

[ariellevanderbilt-blog]

I’m planning on spending most of my time relaxing in the city, I don’t think my mum would make me go to anything too boring.

[carterwhitaker]

You're fortunate. I'm like a party trick to my parents, they just pull me out and tell me to play the piano or entertain guests.

[ariellevanderbilt-blog]

It could be fun, that way I’m not the only one at the kid’s table. I don’t even think I qualify anymore, and I’ll be forced to make small talk with the adults. I’m sure I could warm up to it.

[carterwhitaker]

I'll give it a thought. I'm not particularly sure I want to spend a week and a half in a variety of meet and greets with people I couldn't give a toss about.

[ariellevanderbilt-blog]

Don’t be silly, there’s always a place for you at ours. You put me up at yours, it’d be selfish to not return the favour. It’s not like we don’t have the space.

[carterwhitaker]

That's very generous of you, Arielle. I'll keep that in mind. That's a month away, anyway - we'll worry about that then. You sure you're not feeling whiskey?

[ariellevanderbilt-blog]

How horrible, you should duck out immediately. I’m not sure yet, depends on when I’m done classes.

[carterwhitaker]

Alas, if I duck out I'm stuck here.

[ariellevanderbilt-blog]

Of course. You heading back over the pond?

[carterwhitaker]

That's the plan of action - events need attending and apparently I'm required to attend. Any idea when you're headed home?

[ariellevanderbilt-blog]

Anything for you, really.

[carterwhitaker]

Going home for Christmas, Ari?

[ariellevanderbilt-blog]

I’ve got something fresh, no need to dip into leftovers.

[carterwhitaker]

You're a saint.

[ariellevanderbilt-blog]

Substances usually make me buzz, I play sloppy when drunk.

[carterwhitaker]

Then we'll dodge the booze and use whatever's left from our little trip around the world.

[ariellevanderbilt-blog]

I’m on the fast track to alcoholism and I don’t ever drink this much.

[carterwhitaker]

Alcohol may be man's worst enemy, but the bible says love your enemy.

[ariellevanderbilt-blog]

Oh god, no more whiskey.

I might even get a headstart on Vivaldi.

[carterwhitaker]

I can't promise that. They say hangovers go away when you drink more.
