“I’m pretty sure that’s what people mean when they say that someone has woken up on the wrong side of the bed… I always suggest trying again. Taking a nap and see if you roll onto the right side in your sleep.”

“You know I’ve never been a napper to be honest. I’ve tried I really have but I always wake up with a gross taste in my mouth and feel sick to my stomach. Can I just lay in bed, roll over a couple times and then get out of bed?”

“I run on anger, baking helps though, you can really pummel that dough.” Maggie smirked, “I go to a great kickboxing class at the gym, I’d really recommend it.”

“Interesting combination, but I guess it makes sense, I heard kneading dough takes a lot of strength. Which gym? I haven’t been to one in years, I usually just mooch off the school’s gym.”

     “Yeah, that’s the whole point of yoga. I understand the fast paced, so much to do so little time mentality, but don’t knock it till you try it. I once had a 72 hour study block with hardly any sleep and the only thing that saved me was yoga.”

“That’s the thing though, I did try it. I got so restless with the slow movements that I ended up going to the bathroom and never coming back. Last time I had a study session that long I ended up running laps around the library.”

maggiegracepenn​:

“Oh honey, I have those days almost every day. I don’t tend to want to sleep through them though, I just want to yell at everyone. I find kickboxing helps, or going to one of those rage rooms where you smash shit up.”

“almost every day? Are you okay? Kickboxing is actually a really good idea, maybe I’ll switch out my run for a kickboxing class. I’ve never been to one of those rage rooms, but again, another amazing option.”

“You run three miles? Every day? Willingly? No one’s chasing you? You might be my new role model. What are you studying? I’m embarrassed to even give you my list now. It consists of every day things… like, wash dishes so I’ll stop buying paper plates, do laundry and actually fold it after, go grocery shopping instead of blowing money on delivery and apply for more jobs. I’ve been sort of consumed with working and writing so the rest of me fell apart along the way.”

“Yeah, I mean, it helps me clear my mind and stuff. No, no one is chasing me but if someone even tried they would be left in the dust. I’m getting my masters in sociology. Wait- that stuff is the kind of things I do to relax and calm down. Are you serious? I would love for that to be my list. You're a writer? Do you work as a writer?”

trixietran​:

     “It sounds like what you need is a yoga class, some lemon-mint tea, and a bubble bath. Maybe a sage cleanse, your aura is all out of whack. Bursting with negativity. Mornings like that will continue to be common unless you can center your peace.”

“Yoga is way too slow for me and I’m much more of a coffee and hot shower kind of girl rather than tea and baths. My aura? I’m pretty sure it’s just lack of sleep or something, my center is perfectly fine as is, but thanks for that.”

hunt-huffred​:

“Not quite, but I can relate. I don’t so much wake-up angry, it takes a lot to really piss me off, but I was up too tired and indifferent to want to do anything. And then more things pile up and then I go from feeling indifferent to overwhelmed but still to tired to do anything. This became much deeper than I meant it to be.”

“Feeling indifferent is debatably worse, I mean, what are you supposed to do with that feeling? You can run it off or chill out, it’s just there. How do you deal with that?”

[livylawson]

jordanwalsh​:

“We’re our own worst enemies but I’m going to flip this and say we could also be each other’s motivators. What’s on the to-do list?”

“Alright, I can give that a shot. Let’s see, I have to go for a run, at least three miles, listen to a recorded lecture, at least start my paper and meal prep for the week. How about you? What’s your list look like?”

[livylawson]

jordanwalsh​:

“Every day. I drag my feet, do nothing then go to bed pissed that I didn’t get anything done… then I wake up pissed because I have a lot to do. It’s a horrible cycle. Maybe you had a bad dream where someone pissed you off.”

“Isn’t it? It’s just like you said, if I cave and don’t do anything I’m just going to wake up tomorrow even more mad at how much more I have to do. It’s hard to win. You might be right, I have been known to get mad at people for things they did in my dreams.”

[livylawson]

@vestalanding​

“Do you ever have one of those days where you wake up angry, for absolutely no reason whatsoever, you just get out of bed mad at the world? All I want to do is crawl back into bed but then I remember how much I have to do and get even more annoyed.”

bash-stclair​:

he was about to point out that he was unlikely to die in the corn maze, but he didn’t want her to change her mind. he was happy to follow her out of this place, turn auto-pilot on and not think for a while why she lead the way. “enjoying the party?” he asked after a few moments of silence.

She heard footsteps behind her and took it as him following, honestly after their last encounter she was sure it would be a quiet walk back to the entrance. She shook her head at his question. “Parties aren’t really my thing, I don’t drink so it turns out to me babysitting.” Olivia shrugged, she never thought much of it, “you?”

[livylawson]

bash-stclair​:

“oh, come on! i was being clever! playing word games! olivia! come on. i promise i won’t call you a bitch again. are you really going to leave me to be eaten by wolves?”

She paused in her path, thought for a moment before letting out a sigh, “fine, let’s go blood boy” she didn’t bother to turn to face him, simply kept walking figuring he would follow, “I don’t need a death on my conscious.”

[livylawson]

lancaster-james​:

James made himself busy while Olivia was in the maze handing out candy to children on their way into the maze and giving them a fright with folklore of what might be inside. When she came back out, he looked at her with fake confusion. “I’m sorry, who are you?”

“Funny.” She said with a flat tone before taking the stop watch from him. When she looked only to see it had never been started Olivia felt frustration rush over her. “You’re kidding, was it that hard to click a button?”

[livylawson]

bash-stclair​:

“oh, look a bitch. i mean, a witch.” he nodded in greeting as her fingers spread a soft light in his little cornfield corner. “i think i’m doing pretty good at the moping in a field of corn, but if you know the way out, i could follow.”

“You know what? You’re right, you look awful cozy in your corn corner. I’m sure you’ll find your way out before the wolves find you. Enjoy the rest of your night!” Olivia called in a sing song voice as she spun on her heels to leave.

[livylawson]

bash-stclair​:

bash sat in a dead end of the corn maze having given up on trying to get out of this maze. the sun was setting. the wolves would be out soon. he hates wolves. he heard the rustle of corn and someone appeared. “nope, just another dead end i’m afraid. better luck next turn.” @vestalanding​

Turning the corner a satisfied smile pulled at her lips, “ah, I thought I smelled a blood sucker around here.”  Olivia raised an eyebrow at the other’s defeated look. With the sun setting Olivia clicked her fingers, emitting a soft glowing light, “do you want to follow me out of here or should I just leave you to mope in a field of corn?”

[livylawson]

lancaster-james​:

“I mean, you seem like you might be on something is all I’m saying.” Holding up the watch. James looked at her, “Ready, set… go.” And he pretended to press the start.

Her eyes rolled again, “I’m not, you can drug test me later alright?” Once he said go Olivia ran into the maze, she was pretty sure she had cracked the code, most mazes followed a simple pattern. Sure enough she found herself navigating the maze without hitting any dead ends, before she knew it she was back where she started, only a little out of breath. Turning to the other Olivia looked over curiously, “so, what’s my time?”

[livylawson]

lancaster-james​:

James shook his head at her. “You don’t look like you’re five. The candy shouldn’t effect you with an actual sugar high unless you have like 8 of them.” Raising an eyebrow, he took the stop watch. “Are you on a drug of some kind?”

“Yeah, I won’t eat chocolate by my blood is laced with drugs and alcohol.” Olivia rolled her eyes and shook her head. “Would you just start timing?” In a runners stance Olivia looked up at him, “ready?”
