[Tumblr ❀ OOTD ❀OOC: ] There was nothing interesting going on at all. She didn't find anything on Tumblr particularly eye-catching, but perhaps she did not take enough time to look enough. Aileen would flip back to her email inbox every so often to see if she got anything new, but there was nothing. Several spam emails but that was it. She emails she thought were old and of no use. Spam. Spam. Spam. Oh- She had reached 'the' email and unconsciously opened it. She shook her head and went to click the x at the top right of the window, but paused. Aileen bit her bottom lip. She began to feel regretful. There were less than one hundred days of her life, yet, there were things that she was not completely satisfied with- more specifically her family. She closed the window, as well as her laptop, and walked outside for some fresh air. It was cold, so she did not plan to stay long. Should I tell her? Not tell her? Tell her....not tell her...She sighed and wished that she had more time to think this through. She was terrible at making decisions and this was a huge one. These were the only times when she wished she had someone to talk to. But then again, they would just be a distraction later on. She returned to her room. With nothing left to do for that day, she decided to go to sleep.[ Tumblr ♪ DOTD ♪ OOC: none] "Of course you didn't," Cristina's mechanical device recited. She tried to have the most reassuring expression on her face as she could. After all, Quin did not wake her. When she suggested learning more about each other, Cristina nodded and smiled. She seemed hesitant. Is she nervous? Seeing her roommate's nervousness, Cristina decided to start by typing in some things about herself. She tried to keep her introduction concise, so she decided to sum up some of the bigger points. Looking over her answer on the keyboard's screen, she hit enter. "Well to begin with, I am mute, which is why I must use this device. The voice on it is sort of irritating isn't it? I apologize if it is. If you would rather me not use it and write my answers instead I do not mind," Cristina smiled apologetically and her device continued, "I enjoy drawing, sketching and painting...just about everything visual arts related. I do not paint as often as I sketch, but when I do, I enjoy listening to classical music. Oh, and I really like sweets. " Cristina wondered how Quin would react to her introduction. Was it weird? She never really had to do something like this before.
[Tumblr ❀ OOTD ❀OOC: ] Aileen rolled around a few times before actually waking up. It was one of those days where she just did not feel like doing so, or doing anything for that matter. Maybe I'll just stay inside the dorms today. She sat up, her arms stretching as high as they could and then folded forward to touch her toes. That stretch felt incredibly good after her small break from dance. She looked over at the other side of the room. It seemed that Daniel was still sleeping. It was nice to know that she was not the only one that enjoyed sleeping in. Aileen took out her laptop and checked if she had received a reply from the school. Nothing. She sighed and decided to go on Tumblr instead.
[ Tumblr ♪ DOTD ♪ OOC: none] Cristina woke up on her own that morning. No alarm, no random noises to wake her up, and most importantly no Tamora. She was extremely grateful that her new roommate was one with etiquette and common sense, both of which her previous one was lacking. She sat straight up, covering her mouth with her right hand as she yawned and rubbing her eyes with her left. Afterwards, she looked in Quin's direction, only to realize that she had been looking at her. Was she waiting for me to wake up? Cristina tilted her head and smiled a Quin. Her speech keyboard was charging on the nightstand next to her, so she simply waved to her roommate to say 'hello' or 'good morning,' either was fine. She then proceeded to unplug her keyboard and then held it in her lap as she waited for Quin to speak.
[ Tumblr ♪ DOTD ♪ OOC: none] Quin? That was a different name from what Harley had introduced, but perhaps she preferred being called Quin. When her roommate left, Cristina began eating her muffin. She realized that she had not had the chance to meet the nurse yet and decided to leave that for another day. When she was done eating her muffin and drinking her tea, she threw away the cup and paper bag in the trash can. She was tired from all of the walking she had done, so she also decided to slip into bed and go to sleep.
[Tumblr ❀ OOTD ❀OOC: none ] Once at the Faculty of Arts, Aileen tried opening the door to the main entrance, only to realize that it was locked. Was it because of the holidays? She decided to go back to the dorm and just emailed the school with her questions. On her way back, she got a call on her phone. "Hello?" "Hey, Aileen, guess you were right. Mom and Dad are back to normal now." Who else would call at this time, but her sister. "Is that it?" "Yes," Alice said sounding chirpy, "Thanks. Love you. Bye." Aileen hung up the phone and sighed. Was leaving her sister in the dark really the right thing to do? She was beginning to doubt herself. What's done is done, I guess... Back in the dorms, she walked through the halls. Some girls were talking to each other and gossiping here which Aileen found ridiculous. Whenever Aileen walked by, the would stop talking and stare at her until she was far enough not to here. She hated being stared at, and wished they could just ignore her. Not like she cared about what they were saying. They could talk all they wanted in the rooms, without anyone hearing, but they chose the halls instead. When Aileen entered her room, she noticed that Daniel was sleeping so she moved around as quietly as possible. She got changed and ready for bed. Before going to sleep, she pulled out her laptop and emailed the school, asking about the Arts building. Hopefully she would get a reply soon. Life had been boring without dance. She put her laptop away, lied down and went to sleep.
[Tumblr ❀ OOTD ❀OOC: none ]Aileen found herself staring at her phone's screen. For some reason, she couldn't remember what she was doing even holding out her phone. Tumblr? Checking the time? It definitely wasn't texting. After all, she didn't have any close friends to send any messages to. Friends were loud and as a result, brought too much attention to herself. The kind of attention that she did not like. Plus, with her busy ballet training and academic schedule, she had no time for friends. Finished with her food, she took the tray to be returned and left the building. It was still as cold as it was this morning when she had left the dorm room. Even with several layers of knit clothing on she could feel the cool breeze brush against her skin. She blew out warm air onto her hands and then slipped her hands back into her sleeves to keep them warm. She didn't know what to do next. Perhaps, stop by the Arts building to ask some questions. It was on the way back to the dorm, so she continued walking in the same direction. [ Tumblr ♪ DOTD ♪ OOC: none] It took Cristina forever to get to the coffee place. She did not realize that it was literally on the other side of campus. If she had, she wouldn't have gone. Finally arriving she pulled out her speech keyboard while waiting in line and typed whatever she wanted in before it was her turn to order. She didn't want to spend too much time at the counter because she was hungry. She ordered a chocolate chip muffin and the smallest size steep tea they had. Normally she drank the largest size, but she had caffeine wasn't good during pregnancies. No matter how much I don't want to, I have to. Once she was given her order, she turned around to see if there were any empty seats. People towered over her, so it was difficult to and from what she could see there was only one. Next to a boy in a green sweater, there was one but it looked like he was waiting for someone. Cristina didn't want to go up and ask either. It would be really awkward and I have no hands to type with at the moment. She decided to walk back to her room and eat. Once there she fished out her key, biting onto the paper bag with the muffin and used her free hand to unlock the door. Opening the door, she could see someone else already inside. Was it her roommate? Cristina stepped inside and first put her food and drink on a desk. She pulled her keyboard back out of her bag and took a look at her potential roommate. It was Kallisti. Cristina began to type and hit enter, "Hello. I'm Cristina, your roommate." She smiled. Would Kallisti remember her? They never actually talked the other day. She stood there, awaiting the girl's response.
[Tumblr ❀ OOTD ❀OOC: socially awkward Aileen go~ ] Daniel did not seem very interested in Aileen, which was okay. She had not planned to grow close to a roommate. If she did, it would be great, but it was fine if she didn't. Aileen had one close friend, Brian, and that was enough for her. Having trouble keeping with conversations did not help in making many friends. That's why she thought that everything would be fine if she and Daniel just got along. Aileen nodded in response to her roommate. What to say now? She didn't want to come off as nosy so she didn't want to ask any more questions. She was beginning to feel hungry and wanted to get food. "...I think, I'm going to go out and grab something to eat. It was nice meeting you. See you later," she said, ending by tilting her head with a small smile on her face. She grabbed an outfit from her dresser and went to get ready. Oh my god- that was so embarrassing. Why am I so awkward? She thought to herself with her hand covering her forehead. Afterwards she headed to main building, where she heard the mess hall was located. Hungry. She texted Brian telling him that she would be there, in hopes that he might join her. There were too many people that could be there and she wouldn't know how to deal with all of those eyes.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAYN c: I hope you enjoy listening to all of this. You have worked very hard for us and now you deserve a relaxing break. Now, have an amazing day and an awesome day!
[Tumblr ❀ OOTD ❀OOC: socially awkward Aileen go~ ]Aileen loved sleep but she was definitely not a deep sleeper. Waking her up this morning was a series of coughs. She slowly opened her eyes, rubbed them and found herself staring at a wall. She sat up and looked in the other direction, where her roommate was sitting on her bed and on her laptop. Should I try to talk to her? But she's so busy on her laptop. What if I disturb her. I should probably introduce myself...If I ignore her and just get ready that would be rude, right? They would be staying together for, hopefully, the rest of their time at Brookridge, so Aileen thought that at least introducing herself would be a good thing to do. "Um...Good morning, I'm Aileen," she greeted. Her voice came out quieter than she had wanted so she wondered if her roommate heard her. "It's...nice to meet you," she continued, forcing a small smile on her face. She sat her bed waiting to see if her roommate would look up from her laptop and respond. [ Tumblr ♪ DOTD ♪ OOC: none] Cristina heard her phone vibrate, signalling that she had received a text. She sat up, rubbing her eyes, and grabbed her cell phone from the canvas bag that she had put by her bed yesterday. It was from Mrs. Kerring: Hi Cristina. I talked to the nurse when I dropped off the other two. She's got your files and understands. If you ever feel sick go and see her. Good luck with everything! Bye. She texted back a quick 'thank you' and then put her phone down. She was feeling a bit nauseous this morning, but not enough to make her throw up, which was a relief. Is morning sickness supposed to go away this fast though? A few things still bothered her. Maybe I'll go see the nurse if I happen to walk by... She didn't want to walk there just to ask questions, but if she passed by today, then there was no reason not to. She got out of bed, changed and ready to go out. While passing through the hallways yesterday, Cristina had heard from some girls about a coffee place on campus. She planned to head there for breakfast this morning. With her bag of personal essentials (speech device, sketchbook, pencils, phone, keys, etc) she walked out of the dorm and headed in the direction of the coffee place.
omg Jayn thank you so much <33 Personally, I think that you are as equally kawaii as I am and I'm glad that you liked the letter c: This was super nice of you. Except the last bit :I I will definitely try to talk to you more. Not about the stuff in the last bit :I Anyways, Happy New Year to you too !! c:
Happy 2013 KHV!I'll never get used to saying 2013 :I Spoiler: happy new year Just something quick I drew and coloured in a few minutes. Spoiler: 2013 I realize that my finger is cut off in the first picture. I'm such a failure. Sorry guise.
[Tumblr ❀ OOTD ❀OOC: none ] The car ride to Brookridge was nothing out of the ordinary. Everything that happened was not new. Not to say that it wasn't fun- it definitely was. Seeing the school was somewhat intimidating. Alice had attended this school all the way through high school and had graduated here, as valedictorian nonetheless. A couple of years ago, her parents had wanted Aileen to attend the Academy for high school but with the help of Alice, she was able to avoid it. Never thought I'd be here without my parents forcing me... Aileen just hoped that no one would see the resemblance. She didn't need more people comparing her to Alice. Wait, of course they wouldn't see the resemblance. We're not even related. Feeling a bit better, she continued walking to the office where she would find out which room she was assigned. Once that was done she searched down the halls of the girls' dormitory. There were several girls that were staring at her as she looked for her room, and she didn't like it. If she were to be stared at any longer, she would've took off and ran without even bothering to find her room, but luckily she found it that very moment. She sighed and opened the door using her key. She closed the door and scanned the room. Looks cozy enough. There's two beds and oh? Someone was already sleeping on one of them. Not wanting to disturb the slumber of her new roommate, she tried to unpack as quietly as possible. Feeling tired, she got changed, ready for bed and fell asleep. [ Tumblr ♪ DOTD ♪ OOC: none] Seeing everyone run the opposite direction, looking scared, frightened Cristina. What's going on? She was not a good runner so if something terrible was going on, she wanted to be the first to run, because she would definitely not be the first one to reach a safe zone. Without another thought, she found herself heading back in the direction of the dorm. There was no way that she was going to stay there after everyone had run away. Opening the doors to the dorm, Cristina could hear some of the girls gossiping about what was going on. She heard something about a gun and then stopped listening. All of the running gave her a headache. Gun violence here? This is supposed to be a prestigious school. Cristina walked back to her room and decided to sketch the room in its current state. It didn't seem like her roommate had arrived yet. She sighed and sat on her bed. Taking out her sketchbook, she opened it to a new page and began roughly sketching what she saw. While drawing, she caught herself yawning a couple of times. After going over some of the lines and fixing some of the details here and there, she decided to slip into bed and attempt to go to sleep. She closed here eyes.
Happy New Year, KHV ! C:
[Tumblr ❀ OOTD ❀OOC: none ] Aileen turned around to face Brian and smiled. He looked rather cheery this morning, though it wasn't much of a surprise to her. He seemed to always look cheery in the mornings, in front of her at least. There were times were Aileen wondered if any of his smiles were fake, but she very rarely asked him what was bothering him. She didn't want him to feel as if she was prying into his personal life. If there was something wrong he would tell her, right? That's what best friends were for. "Hungry? Want to grab something to eat before we go?" she asked. Aileen was hoping he wasn't going to skip breakfast. To her, breakfast was a very important meal. Whether or not she had breakfast determined how she would act that day. She sat there and waited for her best friend's response.
It's not new years yet where I am, but thank you c: Happy New Year c: !!
It's definitely a lot different c: but it's fine as long as you enjoy doing it
I'm actually a really big fan of kpop in general. I sing along to just about every kpop song I listen to lol. To answer your question I do sing...
OMG SOMEONE ELSE KNOWS THEM <33 BAP is actually my second favourite kpop boy band at the moment and I honestly love all of their songs. I would have to say that my favourite song of theirs is Warrior, their debut. I hope they go back to their badass sounding music though because those were the songs that caught my attention in the first place. CRASH and Stop It were great, but they just didn't stand out to me. Regardless, loving them. They've worked really hard this year c: Do you have a favourite member/bias? And if so, who? c: (if you don't mind me asking)
[Tumblr ❀ OOTD ❀OOC: none ] The suns rays managed to peek through her blinds, waking Aileen up. She sat up, rubbed her eyes and yawned. Today was the day that she would move into the dorms. For a couple of minutes, she just sat on her bed looking at the bags she had packed. There were three: her purse, her ballet bag and a larger duffle bag with all of her other belongings. She was feeling nervous. What if I get assigned a roommate I don't know? What if she doesn't like me? She shook her head and tried to forget her nervousness. After getting ready, Aileen placed her brush and toiletries into her bag. She double checked her room to make sure she didn't forget to pack anything. With all of this done, Aileen hung one of her bags on her shoulder while holding the others in her hands. She walked down the stairs and placed them near the front door. Next, she walked to the kitchen and popped a slice of bread into the toaster. While it was still in there, she poured cereal into a small container, put the cover over it and placed it into her purse. That would be her snack if she were to get hungry. When her toast popped out of the toaster, she buttered it and started eating it at the kitchen table. Brian still hadn't woken up, so she decided to eat slowly. [ Tumblr ♪ DOTD ♪ OOC: none] Waking up without the annoying roommate was a pleasant change. Cristina actually woke up feeling somewhat cheerful. She noticed that she wasn't feeling as nauseous as she normally had. Maybe I'm finally getting used to this pregnancy... She was grateful to both things. She looked over to the other bed in her room. It looked the same as it had the night before. I guess my roommate didn't come yet. Cristina was curious as to who it would be. This time around, she would like it if she became friends with her roommate rather than enemies. Cristina got ready and changed. Since she had missed exploring the campus with the others the night before, she had planned to do so today. The campus is huge. There has to be something interesting to sketch. With her sketchbook, pencil case, speech device, and snacks in her canvas bag, she headed out the door, locking it behind her. For a moment she wondered where she could find breakfast or something to eat. She decided just to walk around and see if she would come across one. If not she would eat her snacks and just ask for directions later. From the Ashvale Dorm, Cristina began walking south.
omgomgomg hi c: Since we haven't talked for the longest time, how's life been for you? Why you so kawaii desu~? Should we revive Voxer? It's been dead for the longest time now :c Favourite song as of now? I will probably be back later c:
