“Not street art, no,” Thomas said. “My art’s confined to sketch books and loose pieces of paper. Illustrator, cartoonist, those are my job titles right now.”

He felt a buzz of his phone in his pocket and plucked it out. “Laurel,” he blew out a huff. “Remind me again why you put me in the roommates group chat. I don’t even live there.”

Laurel felt her back pocket vibrate in sync with the buzz that came from Thomas’s, she glanced at the message and giggled. Rory. “I can’t believe she’s mad that I won’t have sex with her.” She looked up and smiled sympathetically. “Thomas, you say that as if you’re not part of our little family. The moment you walked through those doors it’s like you signed a contract to be with us until the day you die.”

Laurel sighed. “I have any idea--what do you say about designing a business card of mine?”

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.

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.”

trying to do replies but i am constantly getting distracted by catching up with 90 day fiance.

mirelakohler​:

“Alright, you got me there. The chances of being kidnapped is way higher than having a demonic doll in my house. You work with filming?”

“No--my research is purely selfish. Mainly so I can plan what movie we should cuddle to when we have a Netflix and chill date?”

laurel remembered spending a day’s worth of her paycheck just to buy a sturdy and worthy hard hat with a light mount specifically reasoning that it would be absolutely necessary for hers and roman’s cave explorations. they had yet to find any buried treasure but it was more about the moment and experience than the actual discovery. “after all, isn’t what we discover about ourselves at the end what it’s really about?” she murmured to herself. she turned to the doctor with a smirk. “remember, wear your hard hat anywhere but your head.”

valentinaramosrp​:

“You’re a very strange person, you know that right?” Val said with a smile already forming on the edge of her lips. “Ugh! I don’t know. That one, the one you made me watch last week.” She gestured with her hands. “The one about the teddy bears that get wet and go all psycho killer on the town.”

“You mean Gremlins?!” Laurel threw her head back, laughing at her description of the cult classic. “You mean you don’t want one to take home and feed after midnight? It was either that or Poltergeist but I didn’t feel like ruining your life that night.”
