Cosette

College freshman of undecided major, Hopeful to a fault

[la-poesie-ou-la-mort]

Bonjour tout le monde

[la-poesie-ou-la-mort]

Stressed, particularly horrible at points, bordering some kind of melancholy, but… I’m okay now. Depression can be kept at bay if you catch it quick. I’m well now the sun is makimg more appearance, and I have less going on.

It’s been far too long! I’ve rambled about myself, but how are you doing?

[cosette-thelark]

Oh, I'm really sorry to hear that!  But I'm glad you're okay at the moment, and it's very good to see you.

I'm well, I've had the normal school stuff going on, but really not much else to speak of.

[la-poesie-ou-la-mort]

Bonjour tout le monde

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the light of day, it seems. It’s good to finally spread my wings. I hope everyone is well!

[cosette-thelark]

Hello, stranger!  I haven't seen you in way too long, how have you been?

[cosette-thelark]

I need a break from studying.  Would anybody be up for getting ice cream or something?

[combeferre-yourguide-blog]

Can someone drive me to the library? I’m afraid my car is broken down and I don’t want to take the bus and be late for my shift.

[cosette-thelark]

I wish I could help, but I haven't got a car.  I'm sorry!

You work at the library?

[azelma-theotherthenardier-deact]

Haha…tourists are so cute!

[cosette-thelark]

I know; they act like silly little puppy dogs!  What have they been doing this time?

[perevaljean-deactivated20140110]

That’s wonderful! If anyone gives you any trouble, you’ll send them to me, right?

I have not, regrettably. How embarrassing! Perhaps I should take a hobby.

[cosette-thelark]

No one's going to give me any trouble, Papa, there's no need to worry!  Besides, I'm sure I could handle it if they did!

Perhaps you could teach yourself to knit; I'd love to see the results of that!

"Suppose a person tells us that he did what he did because he was unable to do otherwise; or suppose that he makes the similar statement that he did what he did because he had to do it. [… ] I think that when we accept such statements as valid excuses it is because we assume that we are being told...

[cosette-thelark]

"Discuss?" That's a rather strange way to spark a conversation, if you ask me.

[cosette-thelark]

That’s a wonderful name! What kind of cat is it?

[thetinyeagle-deactivated2014082]

He’s not a pedigree or anything, just a bog-standard grey and white cat. Hold on…I think I have a picture…somewhere…

Yeah, he’s not very photogenic…

[cosette-thelark]

Oh, he’s just adorable! How...

[cosette-thelark]

[giggles] You have quite the interesting neighbor! I love the originality of that name, it's just adorable!

[cosette-thelark]

That’s a wonderful name! What kind of cat is it?

[thetinyeagle-deactivated2014082]

He’s not a pedigree or anything, just a bog-standard grey and white cat. Hold on…I think I have a picture…somewhere…

Yeah, he’s not very photogenic…

[cosette-thelark]

Oh, he's just adorable! How did you decide to call him Apocalypse?

[thetinyeagle-deactivated2014082]

Dammit Apocalypse, why can’t you just be a normal cat? huffs

[cosette-thelark]

That's a wonderful name! What kind of cat is it?

[cosette-thelark]

It’s been going very well, in fact!  It’s a lot of work, of course, but I’ve been having fun, so I don’t mind much.

How have you been?

[perevaljean-deactivated20140110]

That’s wonderful, Cosette! Do you have many friends?

I’ve… been all right. I’ve been attempting to stay out of trouble, and just living a very quiet life! Which suits me wonderfully at the moment. Thank you for asking, darling.

[cosette-thelark]

Yes, I've met a lot of really lovely people here. Everyone's been so sweet!

I'm glad you're doing well, Papa! Have you done anything interesting lately?

[perevaljean-deactivated20140110]

I hope so too.

How’s school going, mon chere?

[cosette-thelark]

It's been going very well, in fact!  It's a lot of work, of course, but I've been having fun, so I don't mind much.

How have you been?

[perevaljean-deactivated20140110]

Students rioting in Paris yet again… I guess history truly is destined to repeat itself.

[cosette-thelark]

History does have a habit of doing that.  I do hope their protests get listened to this time, don't you?

[la-poesie-ou-la-mort]

Hi there, Cosette! It’s nice to see that pretty face of yours back around here. Have fun with where ever you went?

As far as I’m concerned, you’ve missed nothing. Although I think a few things have gone on in a more wider area. How about you, any news?

[cosette-thelark]

Oh, that's so nice of you to say, I missed you as well!  I did have a good time, if a bit of strange one, helping my father out with a few things.  I can't say I've got much by the way of news, though.  My father's settling in well to his new home, though as you've never met him, I can't imagine that's of particular interest to you!

[thegrand-r]

I can relate to that. Every story has a touch of truth, however.

[cosette-thelark]

Well, sure, but I really can't imagine there's any truth to the stories he tells about being in jail for 19 years.  He's just teasing me when he says all that!

[thegrand-r]

He doesn’t answer?

[cosette-thelark]

He tells long-winded stories about his past that are at least 70% exaggeration and that never really relate to subject at hand.

[marius-popmercy]

Of course I don’t mind! I’m sure your face will cheer him up quite a bit.

[cosette-thelark]

Well, that's sweet of you to say, at least.

I hope he gets better...
