Whoever touched my violin will regret it.

[eleanorshorter]

And just when I think this school couldn't get any colder...

[arthurholbrook]

Illusions, hm? I’m assuming you don’t mean that figuratively. That must be such a fascinating endowment. 

[eleanorshorter]

You catch on quick. It's really interesting and actually a blessing at times. Do you have an endowment?

[sherwoodwestmoreland-deactivate]

I'm almost dreading going home for the holidays.

[eleanorshorter]

Why's that, Wes?

[calixyoung]

Today someone asked me why my nails were stubby.

[calixyoung]

I’m this close to snapping some strings. 

[eleanorshorter]

I'm going to show up one day with nail clippers. 

[eleanorshorter]

And just when I think this school couldn't get any colder...

[workof-ace]

I would like to think so. Luckily none of the normal students have noticed it though.

[eleanorshorter]

Does normal even exist? I can never put a definition to that word. Maybe they do notice and they're just sulking in their envy.

[calixyoung]

Today someone asked me why my nails were stubby.

[calixyoung]

If you play in an orchestra, you have to cut your nails short. It doesn’t matter if it’s “easier”. It alters the sound, Miss Ellie. I expected you to know that. 

[eleanorshorter]

Oh I do know that. But I don't think the girls that sit behind us got the memo. I feel like my ears are going to bleed whenever they play.

[calixyoung]

Today someone asked me why my nails were stubby.

One, that’s none of your fucking concern. Two, I play the cello and that in itself was enough justification. Three, never question me. 

[eleanorshorter]

I don't see why nail length should even be a topic of conversation, honestly. I prefer short nails anyhow, not just because I find it easier to play the violin.

[eleanorshorter]

And just when I think this school couldn't get any colder...

[workof-ace]

All of the time. Sometimes the guys get pissed off, but I think they’ve gotten used to it by now.

[eleanorshorter]

Or maybe they're learning to appreciate what you can do and are enjoying it themselves. 

[insaticble-blog]

I'm pretty sure I just heard one of my professors say that they needed to fart.

[insaticble-blog]

My exact thoughts! Like… Why would you broadcast that to the world? Keep it to yourself, and better yet, in your pants. Literally.

[eleanorshorter]

You would think that the professors here would have a bit more class. Guess not.

[eleanorshorter]

And just when I think this school couldn't get any colder...

[workof-ace]

Me too. I don’t know what I’d do without my midnight illusions.

[eleanorshorter]

You do that, too? I thought I was the only one. It's certainly great when you have a small case of insomnia.

[eleanorshorter]

And just when I think this school couldn't get any colder...

[arthurholbrook]

It’s really no problem. 

I enjoy the cold, actually. This time of year is gorgeous and no words would be able to describe a beauty like this. 

[eleanorshorter]

I definitely think this time of the year is beautiful, but I often find myself creating illusions of warmth just to make it through the cold. I'd be okay with the cold if I could be comfortably warm outside.

[insaticble-blog]

I'm pretty sure I just heard one of my professors say that they needed to fart.

Excuse me while I go vomit.

[eleanorshorter]

...ew.

[eleanorshorter]

And just when I think this school couldn't get any colder...

[workof-ace]

Is that what they say?

Maybe a few illusions wouldn’t be so bad after all.

[eleanorshorter]

I honestly feel bad for those without an endowment.

[eleanorshorter]

And just when I think this school couldn't get any colder...

[workof-ace]

Glad I’m not the only one who uses their endowment wisely. 

[eleanorshorter]

Well, you know what they say. If you've got it, flaunt it.

[eleanorshorter]

And just when I think this school couldn't get any colder...

[workof-ace]

Just wait until the real snow starts coming down.

[eleanorshorter]

I'll be basking in the warmth of my illusion of a beach before that happens.

[eleanorshorter]

And just when I think this school couldn't get any colder...

[sherwoodwestmoreland-deactivate]

Warm beaches with beautiful weather?

[eleanorshorter]

It's like you know me, Wes.

[eleanorshorter]

And just when I think this school couldn't get any colder...

[arthurholbrook]

Here take mine. I have plenty more back at my place. 

Pleasure to meet you, Eleanor. I’m Arthur. 

[eleanorshorter]

O-Oh, thank you. You really don't have to, but thank you.

Pleasure to meet you, too. So why are you out walking in the cold?
