Made-up mess

"Before you jump in Tryna' get under my skin Something I should let you know It's gonna be impossible..."

“you know… i never really thought about that. he’d be happy for me to get the raise. he wants what’s best for me. i think i’ll take it. yeah. he eats fish. he likes squid better, but i think he’d be happy to get a fish. he’ll understand. what do you do?”

[ctrlmari]

“Exactly, see? He’s a very understanding guy- animal. Hey, and with that raise, I bet you could buy him all the squid and fish he wants to make up for the fact you’re not his caretaker anymore. Me? I work as a bartender in a strip club. Not nearly as exciting.”

“I was thinking about trying out the pool, but then I remembered this is my only day off this week and I haven’t watched the newest episode of Orphan Black yet. If I have to avoid tumblr all week because of spoilers, I might go insane.”

[ctrlmari]

“You could go down to the pool for about an hour or so and then use the rest of your time to watch the show? Unless the episode is really long? I’ve never seen it, so I wouldn’t know.”

[diegostfu]

”so… today, i got some pretty mixed news. it’s really bittersweet. while i was cleaning pacific point preserve, one of my managers called me in for a meeting. they want to promote me. it’s a raise in pay, which is awesome. i just don’t know if i really want to leave my buddies. i love the sea lions, you know? they want to move me to the beluga whale encounter. it’s kind of a bummer. i’m going to miss my buddy rosco.”

[ctrlmari]

“Well, nothing’s stopping you from going to see Rosco again after your shift is up. I mean, the raise sounds great and working with any kind of animal is a bonus. But I do understand the sadness of leaving a friend. Maybe if you bring him fish- does he eat fish?- he’ll forgive you for leaving?”

“it’s alright, it’s not a big deal. he was my first love, i guess but…it’s not important now. my walk? how the fuck do i go about fixing my walk? okay, i get that. i think if i start listening to demi lovato’s confident a little more, it might actually help. oh! well, that’s nice. i still don’t know what i am. i haven’t really had much experience to decide. there’s a lot to do and know if i wanna get a guy or even get laid- i don’t know how the hell i managed to score the two guys i did. i didn’t do any of this, mari. but i’ll definitely start…working on it, i suppose.”

[ctrlmari]

“Well, how do you walk? Sorry, that should have been my first question. Pull your shoulders back and left your chin. This usually is the ‘confident’ walk. It also helps with back problems, or so I’ve heard. Or, you could do that too, though I would highly suggest doing the walk to the song as well. Practice makes perfect. Thank you. Well, you should try experimenting at least once in your life to help determine it. It’s a lot of work, yeah, but I could definitely help you with it if you wanted, Cora. That way you have some guidance on what to do and what not to do.”

“the thinks he’s god’s gift to earth. it’s kind of disgusting. i told you there was a reason i didn’t really talk to my parents anymore. i escaped them when i moved here. rhett? oh, no, not my boyfriend. he’s my roommate. i just don’t like singing when he’s the only one there. it kind of makes me feel like i’m singing to him, and – no.”

[ctrlmari]

“God, even I feel disgusted-no offense- and I don’t even know the guy that well. I’m sorry you had to be raised by a guy with that kind of mentality. They’re the worst. Oh, my bad. Sorry to assume that. You don’t want him thinking that there might be a chance with you or..? I mean, isn’t that, like, a rule? Don’t sleep with the roommate or is it the roommate’s partner?”

“i know that this is basically my first official night here, but it’s friday and this place is dead as my great uncle rick. please tell me you guys actually turn up.” leaning against the bar in the lounge, zion smiled over to the person beside them.

[ctrlmari]

“Poor uncle Rick. He’ll never enjoy a night out again. But, it’s getting laet, so I’m sure this place will pick up soon. Just you wait until the bars, clubs, and restaurants start actually opening. You’ll take it back. It’s just a little early is all.”

[rroxannes-blog]

“we just ended up going our separate ways. we were in college and he wanted to do different things and so did i and we just…broke up. we’re still friends though. what if i’m tired of being seen as cute though? that’s all i’ve ever been my whole life- i hate it. i can be…sexy. sometimes. you like girls? that’s the thing though, i’m not sure what i want. i don’t…even think i like anyone right now. i think he is too. or romanian. one of the two.”

[ctrlmari]

“Well, that’s understandable. It just sucks that it ended. I’m sorry. If you’re tired of being seen as ‘cute’ you need to work on a few things. Your walk and attitude is one things. Being more confident- not that I’m saying you’re not confident, but it could use some work- is one of them. I like any and all genders. I’m not picky when it comes to bed partners. Well, metaphorically speaking, if you wanted, say, a man in your bed or to know you’re interested, you’d make the first move. The move depends on where you’re at though, because they’re all different depending on the place.”

my mother’s trust issues are leaking into my chest and I’ve got my father’s nose and his tendency to stop calling back so I’m sorry about the 9 missed calls I have from you and the 6 voicemails I never played I swear I’d love you if I could

“why not? we’re both pretty shitty people. i think we could both use a good confession or two. if that’s what you want to do, i’m up for a little competition. whoever can sing the book of classic hymns the fastest, wins. i’m totally kidding.”

[ctrlmari]

“I’m not a big confession person. I prefer drinking and continuing to be the shitty person I am. It’s less effort trying to sort through all that. But hey, whenever you’re not kidding, I’d be up to kick your ass in any competition any day. Just say the word.”

“my dad was in front of the television every time there was any sort of sport playing, which was more often than not. he said that god invented the television so he could sit and watch it – needless to say, we don’t really get along. hey, any help is good help at this point. i would practice at home but i really wouldn’t want rhett to hear and make fun of me.”

[ctrlmari]

“And with good reason, so I don’t blame you. I don’t think I could stand a man who stated God invented something solely for them. That’s just a little too pretentious, if you ask me. Is that your boyfriend or...? Either way, he doesn’t seem too nice about what your passionate about, which is stupid. You live there, so you should be able to.”

[rroxannes-blog]

“no, not really. i’ve only had two boyfriends in my entire life and only one of them was serious. my parents were really overbearing and overprotective when i was growing up so i didn’t really have many friends or boyfriends. i can’t just…go up to a guy and snag him, i’m not smooth enough for that. in case you haven’t noticed, i’m either annoyingly nice or a meme- there’s no inbetween. — isn’t he russian? or something like that?”

[ctrlmari]

“What happened to the serious boyfriend? Did your parent drive him or or...? Not that I’m trying to be rude or anything, just genuinely curious as to why it didn’t work out. And you could. Some guys like a little bit awkwardness in a girl. In some way it’s cute. I, for one, find it adorable when a girl is awkwardly trying to hit on me. But if it’s still a big N-O, just try and be confident in what you want. You want him in your bed or to date him? Be bold and make the first move. Sebastian? I... Think he is?”

[rroxannes-blog]

“it’s okay, i’m not mad or anything! i don’t even know what my preference of men is, really. i haven’t really gotten a chance to figure that out- kinda sad, huh? listen, sebastian stan took his girlfriend to a 5 star hotel after prom to lose their virginity and then took her to mcdonalds to get a happy meal. he admitted to that in an interview and i’m just sitting here like ‘wow, get you a man who can do both’, am i right?”

[ctrlmari]

“Well, you can never be too careful, so I was just clearing it up in case you might think I wasn’t joking. Wait, you haven’t? What’s stopping you from going out and just snagging a few men off the streets? This place is swimming with boyfriend or one night stand material- whichever one you’re into. You’re more than right, though, wow. Can that man get any better, seriously?”

“i don’t know. maybe the tea’s benefits counteract all the harm the copious amounts of alcohol does to my body. we need to start hanging out at new places. i feel like we’re always at the bar. we should start going to church or something.”

[ctrlmari]

“Maybe, but I still don’t think your liver is too damaged from a few beers.Wait, wait. Your suggested spot for a new hangout is a church? What, do you want to start a competition on who can say the most hail Mary’s or who’s sinned the most? Why a church of all places?”

“it is a bit intense but it’s a marvel movie, of course it’s gonna be intense. you’re way harsh but it’s okay, i don’t necessarily mind. i can handle harsh, usually. it’s not like i HATE chris or anything, i just don’t drool over him. he’s a great actor, super charming and all but…not really my cup of tea. i love sebastian stan though.”

[ctrlmari]

“Yeah, yeah, you’ve got a point. I’m just yanking your chain, Cora, come on. I didn’t mean it. And I know you don’t hate him. He’s just not your preference of men, which is fine, really. I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to tease you little. Oh, now you’re talking. Sebastian’s the man I aspire to get into my bed one day.”

“it’s the one on the corner of fifth and main, i’m pretty sure? i believe it’s called the hideaway. it’s one of the only bars i’d looked at that didn’t feature sports, because let me tell you, men get grumpy when the miami dolphins aren’t on television and i’m singing – though it’s not even football season. i digress, but will you be honest with me? what if they’re no good?”

[ctrlmari]

“No, yeah, you’re right. The Hideaway is a pretty nice place for a gig- or so I’ve heard. I don’t sing or anything, so. But, that’s probably a smart choice on your part. Men are dicks when it comes to their sports and it’s terrifying what happens when you take that from them. And yeah, I’ll be honest with you. Fair warning though, I’m no musical expert so I might not be a big help.”

[rroxannes-blog]

“Well, the message is good. They’re basically trying to reach an agreement over how they’re supposed to agree to Sokovia Accords and stop getting involved into fights that don’t concern them and to stop leaving collateral damage, essentially. But Tony and Steve don’t agree on that and all this shit happens- it’s intense. Wow, yikes, a bit harsh there, don’t you think? I’m more into the ruggedly handsome types like Johnny Depp, Robert Downey Jr, Leonardo DiCaprio…”

[ctrlmari]

“It sounds intense. I mean, sounds like the disagreement was blown way out of proportion, but I guess they retaliated in the only way they could? I’m honestly just grasping at straws here, but I get the idea what they were trying to do, I think. Me? Harsh? Never. I’m just in shock over how you can not be attracted to him. I mean, RDJ and Johnny Depp are handsome, y e a h, I won’t argue with you on that, but damn, where’s the love for Chris?”

“green tea is a god send. i will never stop drinking tea. i love chamomile and chai, too. i like oolong, earl of grey, ginger, and jasmine. i’m kind of a tea… fan? i’m not judging you. chill. trust me. there’s plenty of other things to judge someone for. you’re good.”

[ctrlmari]

“I just don’t see the big hype for green tea, is all. But if you enjoy then that’s all good. You know, I never would have guessed you were big on tea because we’re always out drinking alcohol together so all I see is you downing is beer. Well, thanks for reassuring me on that.”
