Elation and Exhaustion

May 30, 2010 19:33

I'm very pleased to announce that I have been a father for four days now, and it's absolutely amazing. The adoption went through on Thursday, and I found out about it in a very indirect way. The director called me over on Thursday evening, after our first run-through, to check the program to make sure my name was spelled right. Celes had "Wilkinson ( Read more... )

I'm so angry I didn't get to see the play! :[ I heard it was amazing and astounding and a bunch of people I know and love were in it! Auuugh!

I guess I'll have to wait until the DVD comes out, huh? Not happy. :[

But Celes is soooo cuuuute! :D When you're done with her, I demand she and I go shopping! We share the same taste in clothing!

You didn't? Why not? Did the director not give Father enough tickets? We could have easily bought some for you if he didn't.

The DVD will be out soon, and I'll have a copy for you. I'm still very sorry you didn't get to see it live.

Of course you can take her, you're her auntie, aren't you? We're slowly acquiring new things for her, and while we've bought her a few new outfits, she still needs some more. That'd be perfect, Rikku.

I'm trying to be good now and do what my doctor says. Avoiding places with lots of people being in close quarters is a no-no. That's mainly why I haven't been able to take campus classes. I can now that it's summer and the populace is low! I can wait for the DVD! Watch it on my AWESOME home theatre! :D

Has she met her other aunt and uncle yet? And wouldn't I be more like a cousin? :P I don't know how much I could really buy her but there's nothing wrong with going and having fun trying stuff on! Maybe I can open one of those charge cards to get the discount! :D

Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot entirely about that. You could've come in and watched one of our run-throughs if you wanted to, I'm sure the director would have let you due to your condition.
Home theater? Did Father finally buy a new telly?

Not officially. She's seen Balthier at rehearsal, and occasionally Ms Fran, but she's dead terrified of Captain Hook, so we need to do a formal greeting now that he no longer needs to wield that hook of his.
No, I'll give you some munny and you two can both use it. Don't start using a credit card on a whim like that, it can lead to some bad consequences.

Happy Birthday, you old codger!

Don't tell me you forgot this year... I think you have!

Well, the family and I have presents. And cakes. Plural. When can we drop them off?

It's my birthday? I thought that wasn't for another week...

Oh dear. I've forgotten my own birthday! Surely I can't be going senile at 28!

Thank you for all of this and for reminding me, Balthier. We'll be home in less than an hour, Celes is getting tired and we've all gotten quite a lot of sun today.
