HAPPY NEW YEAR. Enjoy your Monday classes because I'm gonna be lookin fresh to death in my little kippah as my ass is whisked away into the Free World. Wake up early if you want to see me looking precious as fuck before I catch the bus outta here.

On a more serious note: it's okay to be uncertain about yourselves. Sexuality, gender identity, whether or not you're going to be a good kisser, whether or not so-and-so likes you back, whatever. It's okay. I'm here if anyone wants to talk about it but I understand if you don't want a heart-to-heart with Levi Kramer. Just know there are a lot of people, including adults, struggling with the same issue and it's totally normal to question yourself.

Alright, what do you need me to bring in from the outside world? And no contraband, they're going to know to check my backpack and if you think Cecil's Dissapointed Face is heartbreaking then you should see Lior's.

Any snacks you guys are craving? Anything you guys left at home that you can't get here? Small things. I'm poor as fuck and I can't fit the whole grocery store in my backpack, but I don't mind picking up tampons or condoms so you don't have to face The Lumberjack Dad.

[Diego]

Hello, I love you, I'll get contraband for you. But also heart2heart.

That's nice of you offer, and I do mean that genuinely. Sometimes you just don't know who to talk to or how to start the conversation.

[gdilevi]

lmao shit

[...]

NO OFFENSE YOU SEEM LIKE A REALLY NICE GIRL BUT

[...]

Yep!

[riledup]

omg right, I'm pretty much going through a sexuality crisis like 112% of the time. Life is, like, one big crisis as far as I know.

[Rivi Kramper]
Hunny bunny boo, I will double pay you for contact solution. I am out and it takes forever to get shit from Alaska and you do not want to see me in glasses.

[gdilevi]

I don't think I have the temperament for a sexuality crisis, but I'm all "DOESN'T GET MUCH GAYER THAN THIS" until Henrietta talks about wrestling sharks and gets me feelin some kind of way.

[Rivi Kramper]

Glasses are fucking cute, but okay. How many bottles do you need?

[bambae]

That's painfully uplifting

[Chris/Levi]

Could you mail a letter for me. Owls freak my mom out. She thinks they're nosy.

[gdilevi]

I have that effect. Wear joggers, they're more comfortable.

[Chrevi?? Krark?]

Yeah, no problem!

[...]

Wait, like Muggle post?

[...]

How do you send mail to Muggles?

Levi

[valentinez.insanejournal.com]

Ahhhhh redvines please! Thank you thank you.

Happy Rosh Hashanah. xx
When do you get back?

Levi/Zoey

[gdilevi]

Like a potion ingredient? They don't have red vines in the stock rooms?

THANK YOU THANK YOU. I get back Monday night. It's two days this year, but I'm going back for Yom Kippur and didn't want to push my luck.

[neattrick]

You're qualified to give life advice?

[gdilevi]

Nah, but I give it anyway. I have Experience, I might as well use it for a good cause.

Levi

[lfmkarapst.insanejournal.com]

LIGHTERS. MANY LIGHTERS.

Tixie/Levi

[gdilevi]

Why do you need lighters when you have a wand that SHOOTS FIRE, you Muggle?

Reevi

[reehobbs.insanejournal.com]

Just bring me back your love, babes. I'm not out of tampons yet.

Reevi

[gdilevi]

That is the easiest request I've gotten so far ♥♥♥

Levi/Cecil

[choneychurch]

Happy Rosh Hashanah, Levi! I don't need anything (you know my mom; she's all about the care packages), but thank you for the offer.

[...]

And thank you for saying what you said, too. I think it's important for people to hear that every now and again. Me included.

Levi/Cecil

[gdilevi]

Shanah Tovah! ♥ I'll bring you back a surprise anyway.

Surprise heart-to-heart? Incoming!

Some of the posts got me super bummed thinking about how all these anons are struggling with things and feeling guilty about struggling as if they should have everything figured out already. I spent a good part of the night trying to play counselor on the roof and maybe it sounded better coming from an anon and not a Levi? I dunno. I just hope it helped someone.

I had the benefit of two sets of really supportive parents, so I never really had an identity crisis. There was no crisis to have because I was never made to feel that there was anything wrong with who I was. And most people don't have that sort of acceptance. So it makes me want to help them along when I can, and anons are a good tool for it.

I know a lot of people harp on it, but anons are great because they bring out the worst in people. All the ugliness and the fears and the insecurities and the whatever. It brings it all out into the open so it can be addressed. I think it can be cathartic for people who aren't normally as eager to just blurt out what's on their mind.

Did you end up peeking in there or were you a good little honeybee?

[addytives]

This is really, really good to remind everyone of, and you are a treasure. And tell the outside world hi!

[gdilevi]

Tell me more about what a treasure I am.

[dooomcookie]

This entire thing post is quite thoughtful. Wishing us enjoyment of our day and then offering very serious reassurance for those going through difficult things. Saint Levi has arrived.

[gdilevi]

Must be the spirit of the season.

[indiefolk]

Wake me up before you go so I can tell you how good you look.

[Levi/Diego]
Oh, god. I could use some alcohol, but it'd be most useful before this conversation. Don't really try to smuggle anything in for me.

So. What did you figure out was me? What's our heart2heart topic?

[gdilevi]

I'll come shake you out of bed.

[LEGO]

Does that mean we had multiple heart2heart topics? Are you kissing anon, Diego? Are the senior boys not noticing you?

I've got some bud left over if you want some. No booze though. Anyway, we don't have to talk about it if you're uncomfortable but I'm referring to the Diego's Dating Agency fail.

[firstposition.insanejournal.com]

I feel a slight pang of jealousy. Not that you will briefly see the outside world, but that you will be under the watchful eye of someone other than me. Enjoy yourself, Levi, and don't do anything I wouldn't do.

And, because I know you could not possibly have had enough of people telling you that you are a good person, thank you for the statement about gender and sexuality. Gooseberry prides itself on being welcoming and accepting, but there is unfortunately sometimes hesitation when it comes to approaching staff and student authority for advice. But if someone were to prefer speaking to a peer instead, I do not think you'd be a bad choice.

[gdilevi]

I don't know if I'd call it watchful. Lior is a huge pushover. The most I get is an, "Oh... Levi... I really wish you wouldn't," but it's the distraught look on his face that really does it. BUT he has a million babies to distract him so he won't even notice until I'm already gone. Not everyone has eagle eyes like you.

Yeah, yeah, is this what praise feels like? It's starting to feel uncomfortable. People are going to expect good things from me at this rate.

[cmdrchloe]

Aww! That's really sweet!

[gdilevi]

Auuuugghghhghhhhhh.

[caritasmitis.insanejournal.com]

How early is early, hmm?

[gdilevi]

7am?

[knightly]

Shanah Tovah, Levi.

I will add to the chorus of people thanking you for your kind words. It's a good reminder. I suppose it's too much to hope that anyone ever magically reaches an age where you feel like you have everything figured out.

[gdilevi]

NOPE. There is no escape. You'll be 98 and wake up in a cold sweat: "I LIKE THE LOOK AND FEEL OF A NICE DRESS ON A SUMMER AFTERNOON BUT I FEAR SOCIETAL REPERCUSSIONS."

[chryseis]

Tell Lior, Lieb Leib, and Lavi that I say hello! And Shanah Tovah!

[Levi]

That was all very sweet, Levi. Minus the cursing.
