❝ "Come home with me,” he said. Such a human voice. So kind.
“There’s time to come here and reflect. Wouldn’t you rather be home, in the Quarter, amongst our things?”
If anything in the world could have truly comforted me, he would have been the thing—with just the beguiling tilt of his narrow head or the way that he kept looking at me, protecting me obviously with a confidential calm from what he must have feared for me, and for him, and perhaps for all of us.
My old familiar gentleman friend, my tender enduring pupil, educated as truly by Victorian ways of courtesy as ever by me in the ways of being a monster. ❞

The ********? Moving due to work is something I'd understand but those empty promises makes it seem like those job offers lead your family on which is shady as hell if that's the case. For your sake I hope you guys stay where you're at through the fourth year and beyond so you get the chance to socialize and make some friends.
That's gonna be interesting. What made you decide to buck the trend and go to a non-religious uni? You're bound to meet all sorts of people there and just experience stuff differently there. I figured criminology or something along those lines would be something you'd be interested in studying. What's got you interested in Chinese? Whatever you decide to study I wish you best of luck with them.
Oh jeez, that's rough. What's got the family moving so much? And yeah, with the constant moving it can't be easy to keep friends, much less make them. At least you've managed to find some solace in your books.
Ooh, glad to hear that. What are you planning on studying?
I've been hanging in there. Took the LSAT a month or so ago to see if I could get a free ride into law school, but I don't think I scored high enough so oh well.
How about yourself? Last thing I remember was you moving out somewhere so hopefully you've gotten comfy in your new spot.
I do know of Anne Rice's work! (RIP Queen....) She truly was one of the best fictional vampire writers imo.
Also thank you biggrin I like having a bunch of images on my profile that make me think of the early and late 2000's!! (Basically what would 2008 me make my profile look like xP )
Happy Late Halloween!! And it's nice to meet someone else with similar interests :3
