Um. Hi! Sorry to send this to everyone... Well, I had a question I wanted to pose to everyone but then another thing came up and...

Does anyone know how to reattach a door to a washing machine? I had a little mishap... and I still have a lot of laundry to get done. Anyway, it'd be awful if I didn't at least ask how to put it back the way it was.

The second thing is completely unrelated. Does anyone else feel really weird about wanting friends or family to show up? I don't think I'd wish this experience on anyone against their will, but as long as we're going to be here... it'd be nice to have familiar faces, don't you think? How do you deal with the conflict?

And is there any way to request they bring crullers with them?

I know. I just don't want to be that person no one invites over because I just talk about how everyone I know is dead. [Or more seriously the person who never moves on because she's focused on the past.]

If I feel like you're dwelling too much on it, I can just talk about how my planet blew up because of bad decisions my parents made. Then we'll be even, promise.

See, that would be perfect. And then we can both people the people no one invites to things.

...Joy.

I don't think you'd be in that boat. And I'm not actually going to obsess over it myself. I just hasn't really talked about it much.

[ she leans into Kitty, bumping shoulders ]

I really appreciate you telling me.

Hey, what are fellow abductees for, right? [She could probably just use "friends" couldn't she?]

I think you mispronounced "friend"?

[ teasing ]

It's knowing all these different languages. I get confused sometimes. I'm pretty sure that's German for friend.

Oh, so that's what it is. I'll have to brush up, then.

I'll send Kurt your way to help. He's German.

I should probably talk to him, anyway.

Why is that?

He's your friend?

[ do you need another explanation? ]

Right. I guess that would be a reason to do that. [Does she sound hesitant? She's a little hesitant. But she trusts Kurt, so...] I'll let him know.

Thanks.
