so gretchen's camera strap broke today.
rather typical for me, considering i
always manage to break something.

but it killed my plans for a film shoot. i
didn't want to carry her around without
a strap. guaranteed i'll drop her and
permanently damage something.

so i guess i'm on the computer until the
library closes. anyone want to keep me
company until then?

Hey what's up? I'm here to keep you entertained for now i guess.
Cassidy is my name...
So you take pictures, huh?
Are you a pro or do you just do it for fun?

hi cassidy! i'm leila. guess it's proper to do
introductions first, huh?

i'd love to be a professional, but for now
it's mostly just for my own entertainment.

so what are you up to?

Hey what's up? I'm here to keep you entertained for now i guess.
Haha I figured we may as well know each other’s names (:
Oh really? Well I bet you do good work. Do you do photo shoots for people or do you just take pictures of scenery and stuff?
Oh, the usual… Sitting in bed listening to music and such…
But really I never really do anything on Tuesdays. People aren’t really out right now to do anything with, so aim seemed good enough

aw, thanks <3 you're definitely too sweet.
especially considering that you haven't seen
any of my work.

i do a little bit of both. it's pretty much whatever
i can get my lens on, you know? opportunities
or whatever.

sometimes those days are nice. the whole "do
nothing" sort of thing. i'd be enjoying it more
if i hadn't already had plans to fill the day.

Well it's not like you could take a picture and it automatically look like shit, right? Unless your camera is a piece of crap or something moves, or the developing of the picture just outright sucks...
Most of the time I'd rather just be with someone. Being alone is boring sometimes, but I guess it's nice to have some quiet for one--minus the music of course.

oh, you'd be surprised. if i don't pay
attention to the composition of the
photo, it can turn out pretty bad
too. very unpleasing to the eye.

yeah, being alone isn't always
fun. wish i could fix it for you.

[cassidy]

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

yeah, that's one thing that always annoyed my friend. She would always ask random people to do photoshoots with her, me included.
It was fun, but when she knew the picture was going to look bad she got huffy.
no it's okay, hopefully I will be able to go to my friends house tonight or something.
Any plans for tonight?

[LEILA QUINN BLACKWOOD]

i completely understand that. it's disappointing
sometimes, putting work into something that
doesn't turn out well. especially if you know
beforehand that it won't work the way you
wanted it to.

that sounds like fun. and no, no plans. i'm
just being lame right now, i guess.

[cassidy]

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

That is almost exactly what she said actually
Sometimes I guess no plans can be alright
But it seems like it has been happening to me too often lately
I just hope I'll be able to go somewhere after a while
Well, if you want, even though this will probably sound creepy or something since I technically don't know you, But I'll probably go out somewhere if you want to join
I promise I'm not a creepy person haha

sounds good to me. a night out would be really
good right now. guess i'm kind of going against
the whole "don't trust strangers you meet
online rule," huh? oh well. everyone else i've
met in manuka has been wonderful so far.

[cassidy]

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

trust me, there are some creeps around
here, too.
Just, I'm definitely not one of them
Have you been to the club yet?
Or the city highstreet?
There's a ton of places to go, it's just
a matter of finding them, you know?

[LEILA QUINN BLACKWOOD]

LISTENING TO nothing. it's too quite. | STATUS why why why? | MOOD tired

good to know. i'll definitely have to
keep an eye out.

i haven't been to the club yet, but i
have wandered around city
highstreet for a little while. haven't
really been all that many places
yet, but i have some friends who
are willing to show me around.

[cassidy]

Well it's cool that you have people
to show you around and stuff
I grew up here, so I never had
that kind of problem
So are you in high school?
Random, I know, but I'm curious haha

i used to think i had a great sense of
direction. now i realized it's because
it was almost impossible to get lost in
my town in montana.

high school? no. i've been out for a
little while. definitely don't want to
go back either.

[cassidy]

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Well, I would probably get
lost, too if I had just moved
here, so I completely understand
I'm so glad you say that actually
, I mean, I just know so many
young people, you know?
I like people older than me for
some reason. Always have.
So when are these people supposed
to show you around Manuka?
