Convocation 2007 VII: The Masquerade

[subrosa_florens]

After the Initiation I was pretty scattered. For example, I thought I had lost my purse. Only to find it was exactly where I had left it when I had put on my coat (on the coat rack). Blair took me to get something to eat at the Kerby's across the street. That was a good idea. Not only was I hungry, I really, really needed the food to ground me back

I'm going to reply to your last few posts here so I don't floor your inbox with comment notifications.

What you said about Adam's dissertation on male rape victims made me sad, simply because it's hard enough for the world to acknowledge that it happens to women; I can't imagine how infinitely worse it must be for men. I'm glad he's doing that dissertation, because maybe it will help raise people's awareness

Inbox rocking is fine. It makes me feel self-important to see twenty emails waiting for me when I get home! At least when they are not from spammers.

Adam actually put his dissertation on the backburner for a while, because it was honestly too depressing for him to continue working on it. I do not blame him.

The coin belt is just little silver discs. Some are plain, some have little bumpy reliefs on them. Freya was deeply confused by it at first, because of the noise it makes whenever I walk in it. She kept staring at me, and I could see her thinking: "Mommy is not supposed to jingle..." But once I sat down, and the belt came into paw reach, she decided she liked it. Liked to attack the discs anyway.

I'm not surprised that Freya liked the jingly coins. I can imagine Ruri would like them exactly the same way.

I can imagine how Blair would have felt going to such a big event for the first time. It would be such a huge change.
