Not going to be in school for a week. Sick. Incredibly bored. Starting to miss homework. Send help immediately, preferably in the form of Netflix recs.

[Matt is incredibly mature. He's staying home for a while from the sheer stress of his life currently. His aunt and uncle insisted after he started taking Advil like it was candy.]

Proposed the idea of numbers club bake sale. It makes us look friendly, right? Donate money to charity? Win/Win????

[Lily liked the idea at least. And last but not least, an attached image. Matt in a lobster costume. This was last Saturday, at the busiest mall in the city.]

In case you missed it. I'm sorry, friends. I have failed. I am going to die. Blame Sasha and Emil. They have doomed me.

Fiction. I'm not into textbooks today.

Oh. Well, then.

[Matt, have an exhaustive list of basically her own entire personal library of fiction. It should be noted this accounts for basically an entire wall of her own room and some extra space in the den. Yes, she has this list on hand and ready. Besides a boat load of fantasy and some crime fiction (sometimes both at the same time!) he will notice a few extremely sappy and a couple slightly explicit romance novels in the list she forgot to excise.]

I recommend you just point at the list and take it from there.

That is a lot of books.

I have a lot of books.

[pheromonecoffee]

How many bookshelves do you have???????

[alilyinthemoonslight]

You know, I haven't counted in awhile, since I added those shelves to the den...

You're getting a Kindle for Christmas.

From me.

Save the trees.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

[Why does everyone want to give her a Kindle??]

But I like the smell of books.

[pheromonecoffee]

Go to a library. Or apparently your den. Don't punish the forests.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

There's a difference between the smell of old books and new books, though...

[pheromonecoffee]

Bookstores???

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Are a dying breed. They need to be supported by someone.

[Even if she does it single handed, apparently.]

[pheromonecoffee]

You're full of excuses huh?]

[alilyinthemoonslight]

I like what I like.

[pheromonecoffee]

Why don't you donate books if you want to keep bookstores in business???

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Oh, I do that too, but that's just the used bookstores.

[pheromonecoffee]

Wow. Won't even donate the new books.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Why would I donate the new oens?

[pheromonecoffee]

To classrooms and libraries and stuff?

[alilyinthemoonslight]

That's why I donate to fund raisers! And I send used books to those places too, sometimes.

[pheromonecoffee]

Won't even give the children new books. I see.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

That sounds like a rather accusatory statement.

[pheromonecoffee]

Then it sounds right.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Here I am trying to help you, and this is what I get.

[pheromonecoffee]

Sorry????
