The Happy Meme days 3 & 4

The rules are this: For the next 8 days you have to post something that made you happy that day.

I missed it yesterday.

Day #3: Cell phones.

Day #4: Pancakes.

Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep (for hornrimmed)

There was really no easy way to do it. She didn't want to. She didn't want the responsibility of telling Mr. B that Claire was...that they'd failed, that they'd all failed to take care of her like they should've, that those people had taken her right out from under them and God only knows what they were doing to her.

But somebody had to call him and it didn't look like anyone else was volunteering, or probably even thinking to themselves, hey, Claire has a dad, who might wanna know his daughter's been taken hostage. Probably because no one else had a parent that would give a damn (not that she did either, but...whatever), so it slipped their minds.

So Baileigh bit the bullet and did it herself. Dialed the number, clutched the phone to her ear as it rang, curled her fingers around the back of her neck with her free hand, pressing down on the knot of tension that was forming there in a fruitless attempt to relieve it.

It's a small crime and I got no excuse...is that all right with you? [for <lj site="livejournal.com"

She couldn't shake the eerie feeling that she was being watched.

And it was very possible that yes, she was being watched, and simply hadn't spotted the one doing the watching yet. Either way, her anonymous admirer had either made a very good study of her, or had just lucked out with his choice of meeting places. The rare bookstore was an absolute paradise for her closet bibliophilism, but it also had a dim, mysterious sort of feel that had her constantly glancing over her shoulder, expecting someone to be breathing down her neck...or not breathing at all, she supposed, would be more accurate.

It seemed to be par for the Slayer course. You needed at least one forbidden little tryst with a vampiric suitor. Hell, in Buffy's case, there'd been two. Baileigh clearly had some catching up to do.

A wry smile touched her lips, fingertips brushing over a display of a set of Jane Austen novels that one could own for the low, low price of $8,500. Maybe her secret admirer would be kind enough to actually tell her his name. If she was lucky.

And if, she added silently, pulling out her cell phone and glancing at the time--8:52, eight minutes away from their pre-arranged meeting time--he decided to show up.

Memories Are What Stress You Out About the Holidays

For you, the holidays are bittersweet. You love them so much, but they also remind you of people you've lost. The holidays are your time for remembering. And while some remembering is healthy, you tend to get a bit depressed. Consider spending some time with friends and volunteering. You need to make some new memories.

What Stresses You Out About the Holidays?

OOC note

Verse: Daemon and Verse: Callahan are officially being retired. daemonmuses  seems to have died, and Baileigh and Cain haven't talked in...I don't even know how long, so it seems prudent to retire them and assume they lived happily ever after, or whatever. All that was done in these verses will remain in the journal, of course. Baileigh also has a new verse, Verse: Forbidden Fruits, just in case anyone was interested. Verse: Choices is still her main verse, and none of this will have any affect on it.

That is all, carry on.
