If you had to have a crush on anyone with a blog who would it be?

“With a… blog? What? I… I don’t keep up with internet blogs! I don’t know! Who are ya people???”

I think I’ve seen this film before and I didn’t like the ending (For Jimothy from Thomas E. Grape)

"Have you considered watching a different movie?"

[tom-grape]

"Well, you picked it!" Tom said pointedly, looking at the screen. "You said this was your favorite movie."

[tom-grape]

that just made me think of something to put on my vision board! i’ll be right back. (taylor grape)

"What? What's a vision board? Is that like one'uh those, uh, those things you read for an eye exam?" Tom asked, furrowing his non-visible eyebrows over non-visible eyes.

[taylorgrape]

"No, no, no." She pauses and tries to think of how to explain a vision board. "You paint dreamscapes on the wall."

[tom-grape]

"Ain't that just a fancy way to say graffiti? Taylor, I don't mind breaking the law and all that, but..."

[taylorgrape]

"This is the last time." Taylor acknowledges they've both broken the law before. "It was the great escape, the prison break."

[tom-grape]

“I cain’t go back to prison again, Taylor! Not for your stupid vision board! A bank robbery, maybe, a museum heist — but you know I only did that for ma. To save her. And it was still too late.”

[taylorgrape]

"It's never too late." She pauses, thinking about Ma. "No body, no crime." She ponders aloud.

[tom-grape]

“But y’an’me both know he did it. He had to, didn’t he? who else?” Tom asked his famous half-sister desperately, hoping for answers deeper than song lyrics. “Do you know something more?”

[taylorgrape]

"I just can't prove it." She pauses again. "But I ain't lettin' up until the day I die."

[tom-grape]

“I know. He seems so innocent, but… I just know he had somethin’ to do with it. And now he thinks that car of his is Ma? The more he loses it as he gets older, the more I expect him to confess it any day now, y’know?”

[tom-grape]

"Stockings go over the fireplace, not in the fire." (from bob)

"Oops," said Tom in a very non-apologetic tone, "Those ugly things must'a just... fell off the hooks and right in! Ain't that a shame." He shook his head slowly. "C'mon on, Bob. Y'all were using these things back when I was workin' on the show with y'all. They were moth-eaten, must-smellin'... hell, most of the office decorations are old as me."

He paused. He wasn't sure how old he was, but the ornaments had been there when Pa first brought him on the show, and they were old then.

"I think you and me ought to go buy some new ones."

[imbobthetomato]

"With what budget?" Bob bemoaned "Tomato's don't exactly make a lot in this industry, Tom. Everything goes back into the show. Ya know, for the kids?"

[tom-grape]

"Oh, you always act like it's so hard on Tomatoes, but when's the last time anyone's hired a Grape who wasn't related to each other?" He challenged. "Naw, forget your budget. I'll put in for it. I made some good scratch a few years back, and I ain't barely spent any of it."

[imbobthetomato]

"Really?" Bob asks excitedly. "You'll help? Gee Tom, we really owe you one."

[tom-grape]

"Aw, it ain't nothin', Bob. Forget it. I may not have the fondest memories from actin' here, way back when, but I always appreciated y'all 'round here for tryin' to make me feel included. Even when I felt like I stuck out like a sore thumb."

[imbobthetomato]

"You didn't stick out that much...." Bob tried. "More like, uh, a regular thumb."

[tom-grape]

There was an uncomfortable silence. Finally, Tom asked, with a quiver of concern in his voice, "Uh, Bob? What is a thumb?"

[tom-grape]

"You cannot escape the ugly jumpers, Tom.” (From Taylor)

"Aw, Taylor, you know I ain't much one for those stupid traditions of Pa's. I ain't even sure I'm goin' to the family Christmas party."

[taylorgrape]

“Come on, don’t leave me like this!” Taylor pouted. “The holidays longer like bad perfume, you can run but only so far.”

[tom-grape]

"Now that's just silly, Taylor. Bad perfume. How do you think of these things? Oh, fine. If ya don't run off and leave me. I'm used to bein' there with Rosie, and she ain't ever comin' back. I know that."

[tom-grape]

"Stockings go over the fireplace, not in the fire." (from bob)

"Oops," said Tom in a very non-apologetic tone, "Those ugly things must'a just... fell off the hooks and right in! Ain't that a shame." He shook his head slowly. "C'mon on, Bob.

‘ i’ve been picking up the pieces of the mess you made. ’ (from jerry)

"You been talkin' to Pa?" Tom asked, confused. "Or Ma? Or Rosie? Or Uno, or... Jimmy? Or the bagger at Stuffmart who I freaked out at when he asked for my autograph and had a panic attack and he started cryin'? I've made a mess of a lot of things lately, ya gotta be more specific."

[jimmyandjerry]

"Jimmy." Jerry clarified.

[tom-grape]

"Oh, good. I ain't ready to apologize to the bagboy. I uh... I was gonna... do it in a letter. So uh, Jimmy. Of course. Because of... the..." he trailed off. He knew better to admit to anything. He didn't know what Jerry was accusing him of. Was Jerry accusing him of something? He felt nervous, and his anxiety was rising. He felt cornered. His heart pounded in his ears. He felt guilty, but what was he guilty about? He didn't remember doing anything particular to Jimmy. Maybe he had said something hurtful. Maybe he hadn't.

"Jerry, is this about... you not likin' me spendin' so much time with yer brother? Or... somethin' else I may or may not have done?"

[tom-grape]

"No, I reckon I haven't spoken too much with her in a way that got much deeper than references to her music. ain't like it's her fault about pa, though. She's a victim like the rest of us, right?"
