All I can say is, I'm glad neither of my parents decided to get a job here. Especially because oh, guess what? They're getting a divorce. That was the best thing to find out on parents day. Show them around, have dinner, get a bomb dropped in your face all in the same day. My dad cheated on my mom. God, men suck. I mean, why? Why can't they just be faithful, why even be with someone if you're going to cheat on them? Just get a cheap hooker if that's all you're after. I was gonna go home for Easter but now...screw it.

[Filtered to Amber]

Can I talk to you?

[Filtered to Karkat]

You probably think I sound a hell of a lot like Amber, bitching about everything. Sorry. How're you doing? I hope you liked the jelly beans... I didn't have anything else left from Christmas that wasn't half-eaten, and I didn't have time to buy anything else, but... I hope they were alright anyway.

IT'S FINE TO BITCH SO LONG AS YOU'RE NOT BEING BITCH ABOUT THINGS YOU DON'T FUCKING UNDERSTAND.
I'M OKAY. IT'S BEEN A BIT OF A ROUGH WEEK BUT I'M GOOD.
I DON'T REALLY LIKE SWEETS, BUT THEY WERE OKAY.

I just feel bad, because it's like... So many other people have it worse. I shouldn't be so upset about it.

And I'm glad you're doing better, and... Wow, I'm sorry, I had no idea. You didn't have to eat them, I would've understood... Ugh, I can't even get gifts right anymore.

[selfhatred]

DON'T SWEAT IT ON BOTH COUNTS.
I SHARED THEM WITH MY FRIENDS SO IT'S NOT LIKE THEY WENT TO WASTE.

[instantdrama]

No, I still feel bad! Because I was trying to make things better and I made things worse by giving you something you don't like. I'm like my mum.

Oh god.

[plastic_spastic]

This means you get twice as many gifts. You want your dad to pay, make him pay through the coin purse.

I guess we can talk, unless you're going to tell me about how horrible I am with feelings.

[instantdrama]

I already kinda did, actually. My dad always got me music stuff for the holidays and my mom tried to get me other stuff.

[Filter]

No, actually... Sorry, about that- I mean, it was a little- no. No, let's not even talk about that.

You said your mum's big in the music industry?

[plastic_spastic]

Now you can get even more.

[Filter]

What about it?

[thecardswilltell]

Sounds like someone's going through a hard time. I'm new here and all, but between all this getting ready I'm doing, I'm sure I'd have plenty of time to talk if you needed it, Miss Harrison.

[instantdrama]

Oh, thank you, Professor, that's really nice of you. I think talking would be good sometime, but it's... just kinda stupid family stuff, I'm sure you don't wanna hear about.

[testdriveme]

I didn't know you supported the world's oldest profession.

[instantdrama]

Guess I'm full of surprises.

But no, I don't normally. Until now, I guess. I don't know.

[testdriveme]

Yeah. It sounds tough.

[instantdrama]

It is tough. How would you feel if your parents were divorcing because one of them cheated? It makes me so mad! He's... such an ass. I mean, I know mum's not the nicest person, but come on! It's not fair.

[testdriveme]

I can't say I'd know what it feels like. My parents have never had an argument.

[instantdrama]

I don't believe that, you've probably just never heard them.

[testdriveme]

Maybe, but as long as I can remember, they've always been happy with each other.

[instantdrama]

Well... good for them. I'm happy for you.

[testdriveme]

Not that it doesn't suck for you! I mean, I'm sorry this happened to you. It has to be hard finding out something like this.

[filtered]

[instantdrama]

I know, thanks. I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to be rude. I'm just... frustrated. At everything. I mean, all of this crap going on lately, I find out I got Karkat jellybeans and he doesn't even like them, I'm kissing Amber's ass, things aren't looking good with Stephen... I wish everything would just stop.

[testdriveme]

Wait. What about Amber?

[filtered]

[instantdrama]

It doesn't matter. I don't even think she'll help.

[filtered]

[testdriveme]

What did you ask her?

[filtered]

[instantdrama]

... Not to make a lame batman reference, but. Why so serious?

[filtered]

[testdriveme]

Because whatever it is she can offer isn't worth it. Trust me.
