“Yikes, people in Maine don’t really know how to handle jokes do they? It must be something in the water but thanks for letting me know God doesn’t accept formal complaints, I’ll try to get him on twitter instead. As for the whole research thing? I like to have the element of surprise on my side.”

[septembergraham-blog]

          — ❝ “Something in the water”? Is that some kind of shitty medication joke? ❞

         ❝ Ugh - you’re killing me. You’re the one who came to Maine expecting California, apparently, so I’m not crazy. And it’s not a “people in Maine” thing, that’s rude. God. ❞

“You ever smoke a joint?”

[septembergraham-blog]

           — ❝ Yeah, that’s not a good idea. ❞

[jennygraves-deactivated20151121]

“I never asked for your kindness.”

[septembergraham-blog]

       — ❝ God, and they say I have poor social skills. You have a problem. ❞

“Making yourself feel at home, doesn’t include putting your feet up on the side of a nicely varnished coffee table and scuffing it with dirt, just so you know.”

[septembergraham-blog]

          — September looked up in surprise at the voice that so disdainfully told her to take her feet off of the coffee table. She wanted to roll her eyes in frustration, but could hear her therapist’s voice in the back of her mind. - “The whole world isn’t out to get you, September.” Are you sure about that, Dr. Gordon? This coffee table was pretty fucking comfortable. She slowly took her feet off the table and let them rest back on the floor. ❝ Why’d you put it leg’s length away from the couch? — I’m sorry. By the way. But why’d you make it so easy to put your feet up? This whole thing’s practically set up for it. ❞

“Does that line really work for you?”

[septembergraham-blog]

               — ❝ I don’t use lines, and if I did, they’d be better than that piece of shit one. I asked you if you were drinking alone because you’re hogging literally the only bowl of nuts in this whole place. ❞

“You know, I first thought that living in a beachside town would mean summer year round not this whole needing a coat and scarf in the middle of November. Where do I sign up to get my money back? Who do I send the complaint to?”

[septembergraham-blog]

           — ❝ It’s Maine, it gets cold. Unfortunately for you it’s gonna get colder, and I don’t think God is accepting formal complaints. You didn’t do a lot of research before moving here, did you? ❞

[jennygraves-deactivated20151121]

“Oh, wow. You know what, though? You could always solve that problem by not looking at me.”

[septembergraham-blog]

        — ❝ Calm down, crazy. You’re in a public place and I said you were making people uncomfortable. I’m trying to be nice. Like when you have something in your teeth and you’re walking around looking like a dork, you want someone to tell you. ❞

[gael-bradshaw]

“No, I haven’t. Should I have?”

[septembergraham-blog]

         — ❝ It’s fucking miserable. Way colder here. Everyone around here pussyfoots around the cold weather when in Russia they celebrate the end of winter with a giant festival called Maslenitsa, and it’s still fucking cold. People are literally in the streets of Moscow eating pancakes and dancing in their forty-two layers of winter coats, and they burn this giant wooden statue that's supposed to represent winter. ❞

“I already know every volunteer firefighter here in Bayside because they often have to respond to my fire alarm. I think if we are in a kitchen together we’d only burn the house down.”

“Nice to meet you too September. Did you grow up in Bayside?”

[septembergraham-blog]

     — ❝ But hey - we’d have a good story to tell. I always love a good story, especially when they’re at my own expense. ❞

     ❝ Oh, yeah. And Portland. And Moscow. My brother and I moved around a lot, because our dad died, then our mom was dying, and the family who took us in was Russian - they lived in Portland, but the rest of their family was in Moscow. But our mom died, so we’re back now, permanently. So. ❞ September trailed and smiled - she loved doing that when she got away from herself and went too far. She didn’t pause for more than a second before she continued, not allowing her expression or voice betray the hurricane that screamed in her head. ❝ I’m assuming you’re not from here, right? You’ve got the Harry Potter accent. ❞

Don’t feel sad over someone who gave up on you, feel sorry for them because they gave up on someone who would have never given up on them.

“Well, I’m happy to tell you even if you’d been blunt. Tonight I’m just taking a break from everything. But there were other times over the last few… several months. Well, considering my name doesn’t mean badass it definitely is cooler than my name. Maybe I should change it. I’d promise to credit you.”

[septembergraham-blog]

          — ❝ My therapist would be pretty pissed. He says he’s seeing “some progress”, but he won’t tell me what that's supposed to mean. That’s a while to be dealing with shit. Think you’re gonna be getting better? — Fuck. Don’t answer that. Sorry. I’m really bad at talking, but if you want to talk at someone, I’ve got nowhere to be till tomorrow morning. ❞

❝ Nice. I should probably come up with something for me.At least you weren’t named after a month. ❞

“There’s a lot, I’d show you the menu if I carry one around all the time – I should do that – I would suggest the Seared Filet Mignon. A bit on the pricey side but definitely worth it.”

[septembergraham-blog]

     — ❝ A bit pricey? How pricey? I’m a teacher - sort of - and most of my paycheck goes to therapy. Are you talking like, big big bucks, or sort of big bucks? ❞

He couldn’t help the sigh of relief that left him at her words, posture slipping from stiff with concern back to a slouch to make a mother cry. A hand raised to nervously adjust his glasses as he peered down at the other, smile flickering across his lips. “I’m chill. I’m super chill! I’m so chill, I might need to slide on another sweater or else I’ll probably get frostbite. 

That’s… not how frostbite works.” Yikes.

[septembergraham-blog]

     — September leaned back in her seat as he slouched, smiling at the familiarity of the posture. Katya had been pretty livid when she’d begun slouching. Her smile turned into a grin as Jude pushed forward with insistence that he was, in fact, chill, but by the end of his rant, her eyes were wide and her grin become one of surprised amusement. ❝ Whoa. ❞ 

❝ I’d be comfortable calling that a metaphor. A bad one, but I’ve read worse. ❞ 

[septembergraham-blog]

      — ❝ Wasn’t gonna ask. Well, I might have. Guess it’s too late to find out now. I could still ask but I’m working on politeness. Turns out ‘blunt phrasing’ is alienating, ❞ she said, leaning forward on the bar and smiling at the tender as he went for drinks. ❝ What, are you asking about ‘Cochise’? There’s nothing cute about it. I basically called you a badass. It’s probably cooler than your actual name. ❞

[alexanderherrell-deactivated201]

“Well yes, you can definitely google it if you want.”

[septembergraham-blog]

      — ❝ Alright, well, let’s just say I’ve never eaten there. Wait, no, fuck hypotheticals, that’s stupid. I’ve never eaten there. What’s good? ❞
