So, I guess I have a boyfriend.

[ladyliberty]

We're working on it.

[crazula]

Well, good luck with that!
I'm sure it'll all go absolutely swimmingly.

[ladyliberty]

Thanks! Good luck with the bitch thing.

[crazula]

You're welcome, but I won't be needing any luck with that - after all, I'd much rather be a bitch than a floozy.

1/2

[jasmineofthewest]

I don't think anyone still uses the word 'floozy' anymore, as it is kind of outdated!

2/2 and ignore that last tag I don't know quite what I was thinking??

[jasmineofthewest]

Also I am afraid I must take a point from Slytherin, as insulting someone's promiscuity is incredibly rude and not at all your business.

1/2

[crazula]

There's no need to criticise my vocabulary for being outdated, uncle. I'm only trying to make it sound remotely more tasteful.

2/2

[crazula]

Then again, just take your point and I'll consider it well spent.

[jasmineofthewest]

There was no need to comment on her personal life at all, so you should not have had to worry about needing to be tasteful.

[crazula]

I just like to phrase things a little more delicately.
I am still my father's daughter, after all.

[jasmineofthewest]

I think there are plenty of other words you could have used that are more delicate. I could give you a few examples, but I am afraid it might embarrass you.

And that is unfortunate for everyone involved.

[crazula]

One still needs to get the right amount of weight across, uncle. Are we done discussing semantics yet or should I break out more of the family history?

[jasmineofthewest]

It's clear that discussing this is getting nowhere, so yes I suppose we are. As delightful as it would be to have a family history discussion, I'm quite familiar with it already. But I do appreciate the offer!

[crazula]

I'm sure father would agree that a reminder needn't hurt - but I suppose that will have to wait until next time.

I'll be seeing you around - take care, Uncle.

[ladyliberty]

Bye!

[crazula]

Oh, I almost forgot that this was your journal.

Goodbye, "Amelia"!

[jasmineofthewest]

You do realize I should take a point from you as well, for starting the name calling.

[filtered;]

[ladyliberty]

But you won't, right?

[filtered;]

[jasmineofthewest]

I suppose not... But it would make a wonderful compromise if you agreed to join my class!

[filtered;]

[ladyliberty]

Isn't that like, sewing and cooking and stuff.

[filtered;]

[jasmineofthewest]

You're in fifth year, yes? If so, then unfortunately we'll have moved on from that sort of thing, and gone on to learn about budgeting and the like. It's quite useful for when you have your own house!

[filtered;]

[ladyliberty]

Sounds boring.

[filtered;]

[jasmineofthewest]

Excuse me, it is not boring. I did you a favour by letting your mistake slide, please don't repay me by insulting my class. Joining was nothing more than a hopeful suggestion.

[filtered;]

[ladyliberty]

I mean it sounds totally awesome. But actually my schedule is all full up.

[filtered;]

[jasmineofthewest]

It is a little late for that. Now I've just remembered something I meant to do, so if you'll excuse me.

[Yeah, he's going to close the journal now.]
