KICKING AND SCREAMING

[standingonmyneck]

[...Huh? This wasn't something she expected to see in her mailbox. She was taken a bit aback. Oh, Raiden. Right. From the party. So. What to do now? Um.]

Alive and kicking, amazingly. Especially after the shift I had. I had to explain the difference between J.K Rowling and J.R Tolkien for an hour.

[She wasn't sure how to answer, since it still felt like yesterday.]

[ daria no don't do it ]

good! me too!!!
are they actors? you work with actors??

[standingonmyneck]

[She did it. Oopsie.]

Nah, just simply stupid people who think harassing an indentured servant for book advice they aren't even invested in is funny.

jk rowling and jr tolkien sound like real assholes

[ now you understand ]

[standingonmyneck]

[...Oh boy. Well, it's not like she's not used to people not understanding her world culture.

A slide. Just naivete.]

They may have been, being established authors. Can't know the lives of every media celebrity.

Though, if you're referring to how I feel after the Halloween party going back on topic, I'm fine.

oh haha they're authors
i'm pretty crappy at lit jsyk lol

[ ah, and now for the real deal. ]

the party too but just in general
wanted to check in and see how you're doing
i work a lot but i think i saw you a few times
been wanting to say hi

[standingonmyneck]

Oh.

[This left her...pretty speechless. He was very forward about lack of knowledge but it wasn't like really stupid or anything. Also the remark after the fact was just kind of flooring.]

Well, hi. Hope you're not working too hard, you might sound like an adult.

[Says the girl who's the only librarian and works just as hard.]

[freeplay]

LOL
i'm 17
but i like what i'm doing so it's almost not work at all haha
what about you

[standingonmyneck]

Can't complain more than usual, or what a nineteen year old should complain about. At least I'm at a place where I can read all of the time no matter what and it's mostly fair game.

book store??

[standingonmyneck]

Close enough, the library.

[Sighs a lot.]

[freeplay]

oh
you like books that much??

[standingonmyneck]

I've been known to have turned the pages in my day. Why you ask?

[She was sure she gave off the "nerdy bookworm" vibe.]

[freeplay]

lol book puns
never met someone like that!! i play volleyball so i only read like
sports mags

[standingonmyneck]

That's unsurprising. After all, you have to know how to know the topical sports balls to get the best goalie baskets. Score the big points and eventual big bucks and big insurance.

like...... sports sponsors?????
