Dear Diary

[xp_whitequeen]

Am considering going to the Hamptons for the weekend, to escape all these damn children-of-all-ages reading the same damn book. It's going to be a telepathic minefield of overegged minds all having the same unguarded, overenthusiastic thoughts, all at different reading speeds. A nightmare in the making. If not the Hamptons, a bottle of vodka and some valium.

Is anyone here not reading the damn book this weekend? Do let me know. I may get concert tickets.

What book?

Is anyone here not reading the damn book this weekend?

Thankfully, I won't be reading it. And I too was planning an escape...break. Vodka is a good start.

The 'boy wizard' book. You can ask Scott about it. It may not be your thing.

How old are you, Sarah, dear? I was thinking opera, but if Elisabeth is free, I may reconsider. Somewhere dark, dirty, dangerous and loud might be a more fitting antidote to all this sappy 'super-school adventures' nonsense.

Oh, that. Couldn't care less, honestly. Too pretty-pretty for my tastes.

And I'm seventeen. But don't let me ruin your weekend plans, I'm sure I can find a dark corner here to hide in until it's over.

Lord almighty.

Is there anything this is not too pretty-pretty for your tastes?

Just because a lot of people like something is no good reason to hate it on first sight.

Haven't found it yet, but when I do I'll let you know. Thanks for your concern and all.

Now fuck off.

Profanity

Is only the sign of an uncreative mind.

Ah. I've been invited to a party tomorrow night by an old sparring partner of mine. A self-professed witch, 'bride of the moon' and all that nonsense. It's a private solstice party, so age isn't an issue. Perhaps you and Jono could come, and Elisabeth and I can chaperone. It's upstate, and some band called 'The Nuns' will be performing, with support from 'Diva Destruction'. Probably not my thing, but if I can sit through Wagner, I can sit through this.

It sounds deeply unwholesome, and I can promise it won't be the least bit educational.

And how does punk rock and drunken witches sound to you? (See above.)

I need to get out of here for a while and Harry Potter isn't my thing. Mind if I join in? I'm the same age as Sarah if that matters...

doesn't matter if not...I can spend the day boarding...whichever is fine with me, I just need to get out.

If your musical tastes stretch to it, Alex, and if your big brother doesn't mind, then I would be delighted to have such a handsome young man to drape on my arm.

I'm always willing to listen to different kinds of music. When you've worked on a beach that allows stereos, you adapt quickly to anything. And Scott shouldn't mind, though this asking of permission is a little new to me... and I don't know about the handsome part *blushes*

[x-marrow.livejournal.com]

Fun. They aren't going to be bothered by the bones, are they?

[x-celsis.livejournal.com]

Call it a body modification and you'll be the toast of the evening, darling.

[x-psylocke.livejournal.com]

Sounds fabulous. The faster we get away, the better.

I should be locked-inside my quarters, avoiding the zealots. Come find me. Please.

Book? I read comics.

Take me away from these insane people.

Emma? I do have an outing that's been scheduled for the music class on Sunday... to fetch their musical instruments in time for classes and all.

Mmmm. I can speak to the store owner and it could be moved to late afternoon or evening, after closing hours, however. Would that work out with your plans?

[x-celsis.livejournal.com]

In the city? I'll do my level best to bring Alex and Jono back in time to join the rest of the class in the afternoon, if that's acceptable. I have your number, I can call you and let you know when we're likely to arrive.

I'm very sorry, Alison, I hadn't thought to check their schedules. If it's any consolation, the field trip will be musical.

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Yes. No problem at all, I'll make sure to keep the cell phone open. We'll be going to the Sam Ash Music store - 160 West 48th Street, between 6th and 7th avenue).

Actually, I'd have gone along with you all, but I needed to prepare the trip, and going to one of those and not being able to move properly would have been far too frustrating anyway. ;)
