why don't you be the writer?

why don't you be the writer, and decide the words I say? Lena Poirier. Writer, dreamer, and lover of life. They say you cannot always know your destiny, so I choose to forge mine with a fancy pen and forget it along the way.

[maximumdax]

For the most part…not that I don’t still enjoy an obscure three hour film about a starving artist from time to time.

Oh that’s cool I guess.  Savannah is about as agreeable as you can get.  It’s kind of your quintessential “Ronnie I’m going to brunch with the mom squad so can you please drive the kids to lacrosse” town. 

[lenapoirier]

I find you must have the taste for them at the right moment, or they can all seem the same on occasion.

Unfortunately, I do not know any Ronnies, and I have no children to take to lacrosse, so I cannot fulfill this stereotype. But I imagine if I did, I would end up speaking that way, too. Have you always lived here?

[maximumdax]

I went through a foreign film phase.

I didn’t understand 90% of them but I can guess accents. Ah don’t worry about that, your english is great.

I don’t want to pry but….why Savannah? It’s….Savannah.

[lenapoirier]

The phase is over now?

Thank you, that is very kind. Some words are still hard to say, but that is when pointing comes in handy.

I went to school in Massachusetts. Eventually I wanted a proper house, and I found the neighborhood very agreeable.

[maximumdax]

Yeah! You catch my drift!

This might be uh, I don’t know, but I just have to comment on your accent. Are you French?

[lenapoirier]

I am. You are a good guesser. I hope you can understand me - I fear I have returned to France too many times to sound very American.

[maximumdax]

Awh damn,  

You caught me.  Is it bad that I like to have a few excuses readily at hand? 

[lenapoirier]

Not at all. I believe it is a very wise plan; being caught unprepared would be much worse.

[oliverwhitmore]

Is it just me or is seeing 12 year olds passionately making out on the playground as weird as I think it is?

[lenapoirier]

I imagine it would be even weirder than you are implying.

[lenapoirier]

Cleaned out your closet lately?

Another message.

It made Lena suspicious, yet she did not feel there was anything she could do about it. Perhaps they were pranks of some sort. In any case, she would not let them bother her.

Nor was she going to let herself think about her closet or anything in it for quite some time.

Tweedledum and Tweedledee.

[lenapoirier]

Unexpected yet clever. I like them.

[maximumdax]

A wise man once said, “It is better to travel well than to arrive.”

But in all honesty, sorry I’m late.

[lenapoirier]

Practicing your excuses?

[camillecarlton-deactivated20140]

Yes, it’s one of the things I love about him. He constantly sweeps me off my feet.. I—I don’t know what I’d do without him.

Oh, that’s good to hear. If you need anymore help with your book, please let me know. 

[lenapoirier]

Do not let yourself think of such things, ma chérie. He is here for you now, and will always be your very loving husband.

Your help is always appreciated, though for now I think I must take a step back from the work in order to see where I should go next.

[unburiedjessica-deactivated2014]

Oh! I’ve always wanted to travel. I haven’t gotten around to it yet…maybe someday. Are France and America a lot different?

[lenapoirier]

If you really wish to travel, you will find the time at some point. Yes and no. There are many cultural differences, but you can find some similarities if you look for them.

[camillecarlton-deactivated20140]

Oh, you’re too kind, my friend. I was wondering the same thing myself, what I did to deserve them, but it was still such a nice surprise. 

That can be a good sign. And the book is coming along well? 

[lenapoirier]

He seems to enjoy surprising you with such pleasant and romantic gestures, so not knowing the reason may be part of the fun.

Oui, oui, very much so. Not rapidly, for I think I have let myself breathe a bit more this time. But I have been making progress.

[camillecarlton-deactivated20140]

Salut, darling! Well, Jonas bought me flowers today, out of nowhere. Nothing like a bit of sweetness to brighten up my day.

And how about you, how has your day been? 

[lenapoirier]

That is very lovely of him. Always such a sweet man - no doubt you deserved them.

It has been well, though without event. Perhaps that is for the best.

[camillecarlton-deactivated20140]

Good morning everyone, hope you have the most beautiful day. 

[lenapoirier]

Camille! What has put you in such a pleasant mood today?

[ynakamitsu-deactivated20140625]

Hey now, don’t get bogged down with the technicalities of things. Who, what, where, when…who cares? Look at these lil guys.

[lenapoirier]

They look very soft and cute. Do they have names?

[unburiedjessica-deactivated2014]

This week would be one of those weeks. 

Are you- are you from Savannah?

[lenapoirier]

Not originally, no. I am from France - I only came to Massachusetts for my last two years of university.

[ladymacbetha-deactivated2015052]

[unburiedjessica-deactivated2014]

It’s just been a long week in general. 

[lenapoirier]

That is understandable. I find some feel as though they drag longer than others.
