Good morning, you chilly nillys! I hope y'all have regained feeling in your fingers and toes by now. Shame I couldn't participate this year (everyone looked so dishy in their lil swimmies), but someone had to tackle the laborious job of getting Casey Patterson to put his shirt back on. :)
I'd like to wish a very Happy Birthday to Miss Sybilla Borgin!
And Happy Shinny Season, too!
With the holidays fast approaching, I just wanted to reach out and say how truly blessed I feel to have y'all with me during this holiday season. I know it's difficult for some of us to be away from our families this time of year, so if there is anything I can do to help y'all feel more at home, please let me know! Are there family traditions you're missing out on? :( Or special holiday foods you're jonesin for? Let's recreate them together!
Personally, I miss making crafts and Christmas cards with my mama. What a shocker, right? :) I know being out in the middle of nowhere Utah can make holiday shopping difficult, so I was thinking maybe we can all get together and MAKE gifts for one another some time after the OE trip next weekend. I'll be at it either way, so please let me know if you'd like to join me.
[Prefects]
Before y'all start complaining, I'm not gonna MAKE anybody (other than Nate) craft. But I'd appreciate any extra help and I promise it'll be fun! And economical! I was thinking maybe I could set up near the bake sale on Sunday to attract business? Or if that seems like too much fuss, I can organize something on Saturday night when we return with Christmas trees! Yay!
[Ebonhide Senior Ladies]
Would anyone be interested in doing a little dress swap this year before the Winter Formal? I know that some of us are beautiful, ethereal giantesses and some of us are but lowly ginger gnomes, but being as we're the most talented cabin at Gooseberry... I think we can figure out how to do some alterations.

They really are to pie for...

I'm terrible at this. Where's Nate? Help me out.
[Sr. Ebonladies]
We can always ask Antonia to do alterations. How formal we going this year? I don't wanna be in a gown when everyone else is doing cocktail.
[Maggie/Cricket...NO]
In this hypothetical scenario, I think we should be smashed into one super diamond. And Nate should be forced to propose to his future wife with it, so she knows we're always WATCHING her and we'll come back to haunt her if she ever hurts him. But... it's not like I've thought about this at all, or anything...
If nobody asks me, I'm gonna ask somebody. And if for some reason the earth stops turning and the poles reverse and everyone goes insane and forgets to ask the most beautiful, intelligent, funny, thoughtful girl at this school, then I will ask you! It won't be sad at all. Promise.
Hmmm... if you like Tess and think she's cute, why not go with her? Is it that you just don't LIKE like her? Or are you worried it might mean something more to her than it does to you?
Because if we're being flippant, I'm putting my token in for Sun-mi. For mostly selfish reasons, since whoever you go with is gonna have to put up with Nate & me. She seems most up for the task. Plus, she's funny and a great dancer!
Don't stifle me, Maggie. If I wanna explore what it's like to make out with myself, now's the time. I'm young! I'm confused!
[...]
Asher is awful nice and like... objectively cute, but I dunno. I wanna make out with somebody and I feel like it would make things strange between us. Plus, our lip ratio is all wrong. And I'm pretty sure he's still hung up on Seraphina. [a brief pause, in which she actually considers it] Nah, I need Casey to keep me on a pedestal so I can carry on educating him. My farewell gift to the straight girls of Gooseberry will be a super hot, super informed, thoughtful feminist Coppertale boy.
[...]
Maybe Jacob Wood? His accent is cute.
no subject
No, no! It was good! Pie puns aren't exactly a piece of cake.
[Sr. Ebonladies]
It's winter formal and I was planning on wearing a gown. Cocktail for dances, gowns for formal.
[Maggie/Cricket... OKAY I TRIED]
I like the super diamond idea best. Nothing says romance like the compressed and super-heated ashes of his dead Mom Friends.
I like Tess but I wonder if I just like that she likes me because I desperately want to be liked? She's the only one who's shown interest in me. And I definitely can't ask out Sun-mi now. I forgot she's a dancer. I can only ballroom dance. She's going to think I'm so lame when a modern song comes on and I'm just waggling my arms around.
Okay, so no Asher and no Casey. Jacob Wood is extremely cute.
I thought he was gay, though?He's always taking his shirt off with Casey so I thought maybe...What about Krum? He's sweet. Or Wilde? He can show you his sick skateboarding moves.
no subject
That's sweet, but you donut have to humor me.
[Sr.Ebonladies]
Alright, good! Me too. Had to ask. Sometimes people go rogue! Like our sophomore year when everyone was super into formal jumpers???
[Maggie/Cricket... Magicket???]
And then I'm assuming he'll have to get a jeweler to split the diamond to give to his twin daughters, Maggie Jr. and Cricket Jr., once they come of age. But, that's okay, because our ashes will already be all smashed up together. Or, alternatively, he could launch the diamond into space right before he passes way from old age.
Maybe you should spend some time with Tess during this shopping period? Might be that there's something there? That's a good point about Sun-mi... She won't be able to keep up with our sweet moves. So what about Olivia or Harriet? Or... Marilyn? [...] Or Mina??? :)
Hmmm, yeah, you're probably right. He seemed pretty at ease with Isaiah during the whole amortentia debacle.
Iliya's cute in a sorta scary spooky way... I could maybe put my mouth on his mouth. I've never seen him express any interest in that sort of thing, though. I don't wanna be anybody's first anything. And Wilde would be SUCH a downer. I wonder if he'll even go.
Alright. Okay. Think Cricket. The Coppertale Senior boys are a collective nightmare. We've been over their viable Juniors. The Azurcrest Seniors are a dumpster fire right now. What about their Juniors??? They're all pretty cute in like... a lost puppy sorta way.
