Yes , I am aware of that. I don’t like to force answers out of people. You’ll tell when you want , or not , and both are fine to me. I’ll start.

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

You'll start with what? Getting drunk or telling things?

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

I know.. death dates are never anyone’s favorite. I’m sorry, Isaac.

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

It's just a few days out of the year to mourn my family, I just want to go off somewhere and pretend I can get drunk, and everyone makes it seem like it's some big fucking deal.

I mean. I’m reciting like… it’s not mine to say, Shakespeare said it so obviously technically I’m reciting it, but I’m not like reciting like serenading. I mean, serenading is singing but.  I mean. 

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

So why are you serenading me with poems about mourning and death?

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

What, what's with your face?

[jamie-thenecro-deactivated20131]

I’m a librarian. There’s not much else to do. I’m not… reciting it to you. 

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

It sounds like you're reciting.

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

[silver-bowed-huntress]

Then don’t talk, and I’ll just sit here and make sure you’re okay.

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

Welp, look. I'm breathing, I'm fine. You can probably head off now.

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

[jamie-thenecro-deactivated20131]

Shakespeare.  There’s a difference. Though if anyone ever replies with Annabelle Lee I might keel over. Besides, what’s wrong with poetry?

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

So you sit in the library and read Shakespeare? Why are you reciting it to me?

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

December Second

[silver-bowed-huntress]

What, and miss out on getting crushed or stepped on at the festival? Boo.

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

I'm not talking to you, Allison.

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

December Second

[avitaroseah]

Its obvious something is up with you and I’m not gonna force it out of you, but I’ll listen if you want to talk about it. 

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

My brother died two years ago today. Not my favorite anniversary.

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

[jamie-thenecro-deactivated20131]

… What? I make sense.

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

You speak in poems.

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

I know what it’s like to suffer in silence Zac. It doesn’t help.

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

Everyone's different.

[shewolfnatalie]

Play father? Are you serious? Isaac, this isn’t you. You’ve never acted like a pouty, spoiled brat. I’m almost ready to start calling you Jackson. 

But go ahead and run off.

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

I don't have any interest in hearing the shit you say.

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

December Second

[silver-bowed-huntress]

Well then I’m just gonna sit here until you tell me what’s wrong.

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

Yeah, you'll be sitting there for a while.

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

December Second

[one-hell-of-a-hale-deactivated2]

Fine. Can’t say I didn’t try.

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

Maybe some other time.

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

[jamie-thenecro-deactivated20131]

Technically I said ‘one starts to see things.’ Love is merely a madness; and, I tell you, deserves as well a dark house and a whip as madmen do-I… might be a little bit unstable. If you want to leave, that’s okay.

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

Do you make sense in your own head, or is this literally just rambling to everyone?

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

December Second

[avitaroseah]

…Lets go for a walk.

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

...Fine.

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

December Second

[shewolfnatalie]

I’ll fuck off when you grow up. The fact you even considered, whether it affects you or not, is the big fucking deal. What the hell is wrong with you? 

[isaaacthelittlelahey]

Yeah, okay. I'll fuck off then, not in the mood for you to play father.
