For the most part, Jim had gotten used to living with a cat. Moxy wasn't too bad and the fact that he seemed to hate Jackson made him all the more better in Jim's mind. But (and this was a big but), Moxy did like to torment Jim at times ( Read more... )

The dorms were a lot quieter this week than any other. Jim knew the reason and he kind of wished he had somewhere to go to spend Christmas but he also liked the thought of just hanging out and sleeping a lot. Besides, he had Natalie's cat to take care of and it wasn't like Moxy would really care for Iowa if he went back home ( Read more... )

Jim had been on the island long enough to know that everything new that was happening wasn't just a happy coincidence. Something was going down and only time would tell if it was for the good or for the bad. But, he was going to lean towards the bad since that's just how this place seemed to roll ( Read more... )

Jim supposed he could have gone out tonight. He supposed he could have gone and gotten a drink and flirted and maybe gotten into a bar fight or something. And he supposed he could have been doing a lot more than he was doing but he wasn't ( Read more... )

Jim hadn't even realized Thanksgiving was this week until he'd looked at a calendar. The realization didn't really change anything, though. He wasn't going to go home (Thanksgiving with his stepfather? No thank you) and he wasn't planning on cooking any big meal as seemed to be tradition ( Read more... )

Jim was flat on his back, staring up at the ceiling. It was as exciting as it sounded. He figured he should stay in this weekend since he was still healing up from his adventures last weekend.

Jim was kicked back in his chair with his feet up on his desk. It was getting colder out and it was making Jim remember crisp autumn mornings back in Iowa when there was a frost coating the grass and you could see your breath in the air. He'd opened the window and was enjoying it ( Read more... )

Jim was trying to forget that yesterday happened. He'd been doing a damn good job of it too. Never let it be said that his repression skills weren't extremely good. He'd had a lot of practice and between Pike and Natalie, he had a lot to repress ( Read more... )

Jim hadn't had an outstanding week. Sure, the days he spent with Natalie had been nice but he'd had to go back to the island and breathe in the damn pollen again which meant he was still twitchy and restless while she got to get it all out of her system. It wasn't fair ( Read more... )

Jim hadn't had any classes today so he'd gone into town and gotten a haircut. Nothing drastic but things had been getting too long and he didn't want floppy hair. So, haircut. And afterward, he'd stopped for lunch which he'd lugged back to the room ( Read more... )
