blaine: that's so kind of them!
blaine: and i am ALWAYS free for date night 😘
blaine: did you have anything in mind yet? dinner and a movie? rinky dinks? ... what else is there to do in lima?
blaine: oh, he definitely knows.
blaine: he's still just as much her father as i am, though.
blaine: but thank you for giving me the chance to tell him myself, britt.
i saw one for a shower speaker that i would bet any amount of money does not actually work because it looked to be about 99% plastic. if that thing has bluetooth capabilities, then so do my boobs.
i've been great, winning case after case, i'm on a pretty good yoga schedule - namaste and shit, you know. i think i'm in a healthy place. doesn't mean i'm gonna be nice to any of these losers, though.
see, i'd almost be tempted to buy that because that sounds pretty amazing. but you're right — it's probably absolute trash.
i'm so glad to hear that! and i'd be shocked if you weren't winning all of your cases. maybe we can hit up a yoga class together sometime while we're here?
you know what's the craziest thing about lima? how the the public library shut down during the pandemic, but somehow breadstix is still alive and kicking years later. this town really does have it's priorities straight. why did i ever leave?
in all seriousness. i have to entertain a twelve year old for the next three weeks - and i'm pretty committed to an ipad and xbox free vacation, so any ideas y'all have would be dope.
they definitely have some kind of higher-up somewhere protecting them, because i'm pretty sure that place has been a health hazard for at least a decade. the health inspector probably just looks at the building, sighs and says "you know what, not today".
ipad and xbox free? that's dedication! you could give him a little tour of all the spots you loved as a kid, or hit rinky dinks. put on some of your old records and let him tell you how "skibidi ohio" they are - whatever that's supposed to mean -, then throw a dance party while you're at it. bake christmas cookies, or do a fun little science experiment involving mentos and a bottle of coke (preferably not indoors). lego maybe? and if all else fails, you could take him to the dollar store and give him a tenner to spend on anything non-electronic.
i knew you'd understand. and because you're so understanding, i'm willing to allow a thirty second blaine and/or audrey break every hour. well, technically... if audrey needs me, i'll drop everything, but i'm assuming there's a line of people that can give her attention that morning before i'd need to get involved.
oh, not even close. and i'm sorry to everyone else, but it's very obvious who's at the top of my nice list this year. the vast majority of labels on those gifts are most definitely going to have the name of someone who can't even read them.
it's one day, and we have enough helping hands around. and, really, if i take after my dad and pass out on the couch after dinner, so be it. it's something of a right of passage after all, isn't it? a fatherly tradition.
a couple, yeah. marley even offered to bring some treats of her own - i'll make sure to put some aside for you, before finn and my dad can get to all of them.
this deal just keeps getting better and better. i am so going to set alarms for this. and don't worry, i'm on audrey duty. as are all four of her grandparents, it seems, so she'll be in good hands.
and that's just our gifts for her. sam got her an adorable outfit and i'm pretty sure my mom got her a burberry dress, shoes and god knows what else.
is it bad that i'm kind of hoping you will? a classic post-dinner father–son nap sounds like a wonderful new tradition, and it would make such a cute moment for an impromptu photo-op.
that's so kind of her! she's the sweetest. and so are you — thank you. i honestly can't wait to see everyone again!
oh no, don't worry britt! they're not actually missing, they're just not here yet. maybe we could use those glitter pens to make food labels for the vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes for the potluck, though?
and some things change massively. it will be nice to see the family, as it turns out my father isn't half bad once i stopped being of age to disappoint him. or maybe i just stopped caring, i haven't figured which out yet.
i can't remember the last time i played a rousing round of peekaboo.
well, whichever one it is, it sounds like a positive change. maybe our fathers are just getting a little softer with age, because mine actually seems to be making much more of an effort too this time around. will it be you guys, your (step?)mom and your sister for the holidays?
i would have been pretty surprised if that had been on your recent activity list.
Leave it to you to try and get everyone together in the same space. I would be interested in a potluck of sorts. As long as you don't mind if I abstain from actually preparing anything. You know, I don't cook. I would be happy to bring a bottle or two of wine though. Depending on who is in attendance will dictate whether I need one or twelve glasses to survive the evening. How have you been?
it just feels like we haven't been together as a group in forever! i'm glad to hear you're in, quinn! and don't worry, i'll never say no to a good bottle of wine, so that is absolutely fine. i'll make sure no one goes hungry. oh, and trust me, i'm right there with you. we'll have to make sure there's more than enough to get everyone through the evening. i'm tired, a little overwhelmed and going through a bit of a culture shock right now, but honestly? really happy. better than ever. i've been on a break from work since audrey was born, so i'm still in a bit of a bubble, and all the parenthood clichés are turning out to be true in the best kind of way. watching kurt as a dad has been one of the most amazing parts of all of this, and i'd say we make a pretty great team. how have you been, quinn? i'm so glad you were able to clear some time in your busy schedule to join us.
sebastian: hard pass. his partner is a bore.
sebastian: oh i'm sure.
sebastian: i forgot, becoming a parent makes people allergic to a good time. i'll find a nursing home with an early time slot for us.
blaine: that's a bold assumption. i can assure you i'm still very much capable of having fun.
blaine: but i think you and i both know that me going to what i'm assuming is scandals with someone who used to call me 'sex on a stick' back in high school and who i haven't spoken to in ages doesn't sound like the best idea 🤷♂️
I'm in, but I vote for a reservation somewhere, I don't trust everyone else's cooking or more specifically, their hygiene whilst cooking. And hey, what's wrong with Breadstix? What about stale breadsticks and mediocre pasta doesn't scream adult thanksgiving?
perfect! one vote for a reservation, noted. you wouldn't even trust my cooking? or kurt's? well... the stale breadsticks and not-even-mediocre pasta are what's wrong with breadstix, and that's only the tip of the iceberg. i've sworn to never eat there again, so please don't make me give up on that promise.
Blaine, can we just stick with drinks and everyone makes their own charcuterie board easily could hit all the major food groups if everyone made one... plus i need to test out this new drink i had a few weeks ago on someone other than myself.
sounds good to me! i'm definitely not asking everyone to bring something super fancy or elaborate. if you bring drinks or a charcuterie board, or just pick up some cupcakes, i'd be more than happy. the most important thing is that we're all together. and i'd love to volunteer as a taste-tester! what's in this new drink? or is that a surprise?
maybe this is a boomer take - and if so...well, actually, i don't care if it is, i'm still right, as always. every other post on tiktok shouldn't be an ad. i'm not going to buy perfume i've never even smelled or a jeffree fucking star approved mascara of all things. i'm just looking for a little entertainment while i wait for my teeth cleaning. stop trying to sell me shit. unless of course, there's a discount on skims...then tiktok is permitted to let me know.
anyway, that's today's rant. stay tuned for more, y'all know me, i love to yap.
you're definitely right. it's almost a little dystopian how everything seems to be an ad nowadays, like we're in a black mirror episode. it kind of ruined tiktok for me. i still post there regularly, but i'm definitely not scrolling through my fyp as often as i did before, and that's not just because i have even less time to do so. if i happen to spot a discount on skims, you'll be there first to know, though. how have you been, santana?
sam: might not let you two go back to new york i don't think i can take years without seeing both of you
sam: I wanna see pictures when you do let her wear it idec if she gets it dirty lol
sam: I'm good, stevie is think already has senioritis and stacey is stacey, working harder than i ever did in school. stevie got all the height and stacey and i look like we could be twins blaine
blaine: hey, we'll visit again as soon as we can, and you know you're always welcome in new york!!
blaine: as much as i'd love to be closer to my best friend, i don't think i could ever live in ohio again.
blaine: i've missed you so so much though
blaine: of course! we'll do a little photoshoot. we do those all the time.
blaine: i still can't believe stevie is a senior!! he will forever be 12 in my mind. i'm so glad to hear you guys are all doing well.
