April had planned to spend her twentieth birthday at home doing something entertaining, like watching MTV España and drinking smoothies with beer in them. Her boyfriends thought that was ridiculous, and had emailed her links to the websites of Baltimore theme bars, such as a jello-wrestling one and one with a mechanical bull, which April had been ( Read more... )

It wasn't like April to wake up before two PM if she didn't have to, but her sleep schedule was all off right now, so today she did. She'd actually first woken up around sunrise after falling back asleep in the Preserve, then moved to her apartment to walk Cliff and then sleep some more, and it was almost nine by the time she woke up after that ( Read more... )

April might have hated most things, but there were some simple pleasures that she always enjoyed, and sleeping on the couch was at the top of the list.

The good news was that when she woke up today, she no longer felt antsy and inclined to bang random breakfast-making guys or vampires or whatever or tell random British chicks they were hot. The ( Read more... )

I thought really hard about titling this post something like "Availability Barricade" for the torturetainment of brat_inslayage and hawkeye_too, etc., but then I thought of an actual dance to use so that got thrown out the window ( Read more... )

April did not believe in holidays for getting drunk, because frankly, if you asked her, getting drunk was something to do for the fun of it and not because a holiday told you to. Besides, she wasn't Irish and saw no point in pretending she was. So she was not celebrating St. Patrick's Day today -- in fact, she wasn't even aware that today was it ( Read more... )

April had seen a lot of horror movies in her time, but she hadn't seen many that involved killer fences. Actually, she'd seen exactly one. And now she was watching the first of its two sequels, Death in a Fence 2: The Fencening, in which the main characters on the screen were currently fleeing the murder fence while their friend Tray was being ( Read more... )

April didn't have anything to do today -- okay, scratch that, she didn't have anything desirable to do today. That brought her to watching TV. TV brought her to a movie about sharks eating hormonal counselors at a day camp, which was actually enjoyable, but when it ended, she found herself flipping through channels instead. That brought her to the ( Read more... )

Christmas, in April's book, was a day for lounging around in one's pajamas, drinking eggnog, and making unimpressed faces when her parents gifted her things like brightly-colored sweaters with bunnies on them. In other words, it was boring ( Read more... )

April was in a really good mood today.

In addition to having a really adorable new puppy around, she'd just gotten off the phone with her family, and during the course of the phone call had managed to successfully rub it in her sister's face that she had her own apartment and a puppy and unlimited booze while Natalie wasn't allowed any of that stuff ( Read more... )

April had had an interesting morning.

It began with accidentally horrifying some guy in a park who had looked appropriately sketchy but in actuality was just supervising his kids playing with a Frisbee. Then she'd gotten followed around by a cop for a little bit -- unfortunately it seemed like her talent of being able to attract suspicion from the ( Read more... )
