So my two year old has declared war on peas today. The veggies he loved last week are now enemy number one and I don’t know if I should be scared or not. I gave him peas at lunch and he ran away terrified and returned wearing a bathrobe and strainer on his head…when I asked why he just looked at me and said “no pea” like he was on strike. So I guess we are going with Broccoli this week.
If Bryant’s on strike, I’m not ashamed to say I volunteer to be a ‘”scab” if it meant that you adopted me. There are so many recipes that incorporate veggies into a smoothie. My mom was actually ahead of the game when she did that during my childhood.

“Well I don’t mind a good challenge. It’s nice to meet you though, Laurel Walker,” she replied with a little bit of a cheeky smirk with her response. She then said, “So now that we’re not total strangers, I’d like to take you up on you having asking me out. Just let me know when and where.”
“Would it be too forward if I said: my place?” Laurel giggled. “No, but I figured it could have been a while since a real sweetheart took you out. Why don’t I keep the where a surprise and the when could be: this Friday night? I can pick you up at 6?”
rohoeman:
“i have to admit– can’t sit through one long enough to know. however– there was this one movie a long time ago that i watched that was scary; called the notebook.” roman’s face was straight. “i thought that i had to propose to my girlfriend the next day because that was the expectation.”
at least he’s handsome, laurel told herself when she noticeably grimaced at roman’s response. “at least you didn’t follow through with it. take it from me that spontaneous decisions when it comes to marriage should be a no-go.”

Hearing the woman’s brash question made Cammy softly snort before responding with another question, “Does that actually work on people? Using horror movies to try and jump someone else’s bones?” She started to lift her drink straw back to her lips but prior to taking another sip, said, “The last horror movie I watched was Scream 4 and honestly, it wasn’t horrifying at all. Just stupid. But that could also have been my bias against Emma Roberts and he terrible acting skills.”
“It worked on me,” she admitted. Then again she was a teenager and young love was exciting and impulsive. But wasn’t all love supposed to be like that. “Maybe you can come over to my place and we can watch some of my recommendations. And before you say anything--yes, this is my way of asking out a very beautiful supermodel.”
A Goonies themed birthday party. Hands down. With Marianas Trench’s Astoria on full loop.
Alright survey time. If you decided to throw a themed party for your 30th birthday, what theme would you go with and why?
Tell me some good ones, people!

Greer had nearly walked past the young woman taking some sort of apparent poll, but the small bit of movement caught the corner of her eye. She stopped in her tracks and looking back at the young woman who asked her a question as she removed an air pod from her ear. “I’m not sure I’m gonna be the most help,” Greer admitted, closing the few steps between the two. “The scariest thing I’ve watched recently was probably Trolls, and I think I was mostly just horrified that I didn’t have enough self-respect to just turn it off when it started playing. It just… sat there and let it happen to me.” She paused for a moment, lifting her shoulders into a casual shrug.
“But, um… I have to ask: what is Ghostface?”
Laurel couldn’t blame the other for not having that knowledge -- it wasn’t until she established her freedom that she delved more into pop culture and cult classics. According to her parents, if she had the time to watch a movie that time could be better delegated to studies. “Trolls wasn’t that bad. The soundtrack album sold out at Crossroads after the first week it as released in theaters.”
“But Ghostface is the serial killer in the Scream saga -- highly recommended. I’m thinking of even hosting a marathon party for it. It’d be a good way to start your horror movie to-watch list.”
mirelakohler:
“The Exorcist for sure! Or any other movie based on real facts actually. It’s not like they are my favorite at all, they just scare me the most, and at the same time those are last type of movies that I’ve watched lately”
“You know what is very surprising? That true crime documentaries aren’t considered horror movies because those are real facts anyway.”
kirby-powell:
“are you saying it’s scary cause the titanic because it’s true and can happen now?” maybe not so much the sinking, but what did kirby know. cruise ships were not something they’d go on. “i guess it’s scary. i wouldn’t dare go on a cruise. so sure. i stand by that decision too.” they said with a nod. “what other movies did you watch with your family?”
“there are just some scenes in that movie that are so gruesome and there are scenes that you had to just fill in the blanks. sometimes... it’s about what you don’t show.” laurel nodded in agreement with kirby. “cruises are vastly overrated. i’ve been on a couple--my time could have been better delegated.” she picked up the bong off her coffee table before leaning back into her apartment loveseat. “we watched coming to america a lot. at some point we watched the first four harry potter movies. nothing too... memorable.” she sighed then lit the bowl. “what movies did you watch as a kid?”

Brooklyn glanced at herself in the mirror and smiled brightly. “I swear you never fail to make me look beautiful. This is it, this is the look I want for my photo shoot.” She said turning towards the girl. Brooke had a photoshoot coming up and she always liked having her make up done the day before, so if she wanted a different look she had time to fix it. “You think you can come with me to the shoot and recreate this? I will pay you time and half for traveling.”
Laurel would do almost anything for her favorite client, and she knew that Brooke loved her too but... time and a half for traveling? Laurel’s eyes lit up at the surreal proposition. In a normal world it would be the perfect opportunity to gain new clients interested in her aesthetician business, but how would be offer that without having to explain the under-the-table aspect of it. “Holy shit--I--” Laurel sat down, twiddling a makeup brush between her fingers. “I mean, yeah! But--don’t you have professional makeup artists that already work at the photoshoot?”
