Oh, thank you!

I think?

It sounds nice, anyway. But. Um.

To which one of us?

Yeah, that.

…oh. That’s… new.

Good morning, all!

How is everyone doing on this lovely morning?

I — hm. I — I suppose? If… if you really think I’d be suited, I mean.

Oh! Thank you! I — well, no. I mean — it never really crossed my mind?

Um. “Official model” didn’t really seem the sort of position you can just try out for, and —

Are you — are you offering?

Oh, thank you, these look wonderful!

Merry Christmas, and thank you again!

Geese a-laying — Six quirks

• I’ve gotten in the habit of putting things in my thneed, which… usually gets them lost.
• Even if I’m planning on wearing my contacts, I reach for my glasses every morning, without fail.
• I have a tendency to hunch when I’m talking to people. I guess to try and look smaller.
• I also bounce back on my heels and interlace my fingers when I’m interested in the conversation.
• I can’t keep my nails long – I always end up tapping them on the table or a wall and breaking them.
• I tend to jot down the things I hear in my notebook, even if they’re not particularly noteworthy. I got someone’s full grocery list once.

Golden rings — Five shiny things that I like

• My mother has this old wooden jewelry box with brass hinges. My sister and I used to stage all sorts of adventures around it, so I’m pretty fond of it.
• My father gave me a quill pen when I first became interested in journalism, and the nib is pretty shiny!
• My thneed is shiny in a different way, but I guess that… sort of counts?
  Do my glasses count?
• …the sign for the new bakery?

Merry Christmas, everybody!

I’ve been trying to make cookies for everyone — enlisted Charlotte to help, and everything — but most of them turned out… badly.

That is to say, they burned.

I was going to bake more, but then I got sick, so…

Well, if anyone wants some slightly-burnt cookies, we’ve got loads of them now!
