"D'ye think you have enough pearls on, love?" Petra shot the other occupant of her couch a Look, and Sinjin said quickly, "Right, silly question."

"Shh," she told him. "It's starting." Sure, today they might be watching from Petra's curbside rescue couch in her shoebox of an apartment, but one day...one day. And dressing up, complete with what ( Read more... )

Petra was well and truly asleep when her phone started ringing. She grabbed it without looking, and, also without opening her eyes, accepted the call and brought it to her ear. "Do you have any idea what time it is?"

Adina Greenberg, not impressed, told her, "It's like ten. They want to settle."

I need at least two TAs, actually, one for Steve and one for Petra, especially since I'm going to be in Italy for the first week of classes, so my availability will be not so much. Please comment below with which class if you're interested! Comments are screened. Priority will be given to new alumni, etc., etc., y'all pretty much know how this

Today, Petra West turned eighteen. She should have been attending, or perhaps throwing herself, the biggest, most fantastic party this island had ever seen.

Yes, I am kind of insane. This cannot possibly be news. My flight back is at 6 AM Thursday morning, taking me over into totally insane, but whatever ( Read more... )

Hey, guys!

..wow, this is much better than the last availability notice I posted. I don't feel like punching anything or crying!

Anyhoodle, tomorrow, June 6, I'm jetting off to California until June 15 to frolic around Sonoma County and the larger Bay Area with my BFF. She has way better internet than me and is a fellow total nerd, so I should ( Read more... )

After her exams, Petra went back to her room and took a brief nap before she got herself a pop from the common room--which was why she currently had wings again, whatever, she thought they were cool--and started dragging out her sewing supplies again. She suspected she had a cottage industry on her hands, and had helpfully put a sign she'd printed ( Read more... )

Petra owned...a lot of makeup. Like a lot. Her collection had been severely damaged by, you know, the whole plane crash thing, but she'd been steadily re-amassing items since then. She also owned a lot of hair stuff, and accessories. So, this afternoon, she'd hauled just about everything out and was ready and enthusiastically willing to help ( Read more... )
