short end of the stick

connor lightwood. twenty. definitely not ace. what am I to do with the thunder? don't know who to cast it upon i just wanna walk to the mountains walk to the mountains all alone with my own doomed soul, doomed as the source

[connorbye]

I'm hoping Ace keeps his hair blonde forever so people don't mistake us for each other anymore. I'm also starving, so someone should cook for me because I already ate all of the snacks we have.

"That’s true. I mean, I don’t really lie anyways, but— apparently I’m not that good of a liar. I don’t know how it shows, but it does. I just never really got the people who could lie all the time and have a straight face or not be bothered by the fact that they were lying. I’d rather someone tell me the truth, no matter how brutal, other than just… lie to my face about something."

[connorbye]

"I don't know, I think sometimes the truth can be a bit too much, but. Most of the time, I don't understand lying, either. There's nothing wrong with a little white lie, but it can always come back to bite you in the ass, so I try not to lie too often. I feel the same way, where it's like, it's better to be told the truth than have someone lie to your face."

"Is there anything for like, classes on lying? Because I’m actually kinda really bad at it, to be honest."

[connorbye]

"I have no idea, actually. I think there are tips on how to be better at lying, but I don't there there are actual lying classes. I almost suggested that I'd make one for you, but all I'll do is tell everyone to not lie in the first place and then they wouldn't have to worry about it."

Everyone keeps talking about the holidays, and all it makes me want to do is get really festive and dress up and dance. Which means we should definitely throw a holiday-themed party soon, so I can do all of the above.

[connorbye]

That sounds like a really good idea, actually. We should throw a Christmas party.

@fvckace: so they say blondes have more fun but i've always had fun so i think this means i need to go extra hard now

@cjlightwood: HAAHAHHAHAH can i make blonde jokes about u now

[jcvial]

So about half of the girls I’ve hooked up with so far keep calling me, when I told each and every one of them that it was a one time thing. Is the language barrier that bad?

[jcvial]

[connorbye]

What, do you not wanna hook up with them again? I figure that if they keep calling, give 'em what they're asking for.

[augustfarley-blog]

"No, that’s not ‘Fergalicious’ blasting from my speakers. I don’t know what you’re talking about. I hate that song, like… a lot."

[connorbye]

"Beep, beep, beep. That's my lying detector. It detects that that's bullshit."

I’m going to get a tree and the decorations with Paxton, but I don’t really know where to start looking for one. I’m thinking if worse comes to worse I’ll chop my own down.

[connorbye]

That's cool, I hope you guys can find a really good one. A huge one, more like it. We can put it in the main room on the first floor, 'cause it's big and will fit. What, are you gonna carry an axe around with you and cut down whatever tree you like? That'll be hard to explain to people.

[darkisms]

Of course not, I’m not an idiot. Besides, I know enough Spanish to get by. I did nothing that I can recall. He was just crazy.

[connorbye]

Alright, if you say so. I don't think people just charge after someone without being provoked, though. If he was insane it makes sense, but let's just hope you aren't chased by some crazy guy again.

   ”My favorite thing about Barcelona so far? Definitely my bed, it is very comfortable.”

[unattainablehottie]

[connorbye]

Listen, I'm thinking the exact same thing. I love my bed, it's the best thing about this city so far. I don't even need to see all of the main attractions, honestly.

[wtfviktor]

"Yo, if anything catches on fire, don’t be alarmed. It may or may not have been me."

[connorbye]

Uh, I'm not really a fan of fire. If you do end up setting something aflame, try to make sure that I'm not anywhere near it.

[tarynharlow]

I’m starting to notice that the house lacks any indication of it being Christmas time, would anyone be willing to help me put up a tree?

[connorbye]

Let's do it. Where are we going to get a tree, though? Are we gonna have to go all around Barcelona looking for trees and decorations?

[florabravo-blog]

Who wants to get drunk out of their minds and sing christmas song badly while helping me decorate a tree? 

[florabravo-blog]

[connorbye]

That tree is gonna look like shit if we do it drunk, but why not? 'Tis the season.

[ffszackery]

God, I love getting reactions out of people. Humans are so easy to manipulate.

[connorbye]

Alright, man. You just made yourself sound hella creepy. I'm glad I'm not one of your roommates, or else I'd be moving out.

[cherwhtvs]

Genuinely don’t get how this thing works. Do you think you could like- just like, show me? I’m scared something will break if I keep messing with it.

[connorbye]

You don't know how to work a coffee maker? It's the easiest thing ever.

[darkisms]

For some reason I thought Barcelona was going to be full of classy and refined people… judging by that crazy guy who just chased me down the street, I was so wrong.

[connorbye]

What did you do to make him chase you? Try to speak Spanish and offend him?

"The first time I go in the pool would be the worst experience ever, wouldn’t it?” He laughed too, scratching at the back of his neck. “Wait, wait… We have a grotto? I did not do enough exploring. Yeah, yeah, I’m definitely staying away for a while. It was— Yikes. Ungraceful.”

[connorbye]

"Yeah, it just had to happen. Life works in mysterious ways, I suppose," he snorted. "We do have a grotto, it's cool. I haven't been in the water down there, yet, but I'm sure it's fine. Danny's always down there, I think he's obsessed with it, but yeah. At least it wasn't too bad, right? You could be floating in the water dead, and we'd be left with a dead body to take care of. Worst case scenario that we're all glad didn't happen, I'm sure."
