It'll all be worth it when we kick your ass at Sectionals.

Less interruptions in the dorm? Amazing, I can't wait to try them.

Mhmmm, if you say so.

Why would I ever want to poison you? Okay incredible. Chocolate chip, maybe a snickerdoodle, some shortbread. It'll be great.

RYDER: McCarthy!!! RYDER: You are a menace RYDER: Did it at least come up naturally?

MADISON: Dang, I've lost you. MADISON: Well I already asked him so... MADISON: I'll just keep the answer to myself and you could still talk to him yourslef.

It just feels like it would if you were practicing an arm wrestle by yourself. Makes no sense without the other people. But sure Rachel, I will make sure to rehearse the steps whilst I'm at home.

They'd get called back because their club is psychotic. Their thing is synchronised choreo, they're like a bunch of robots. Our team has an actual personality and we don't need polished dancing to show it off.

Yes, your part of the group numbers. If you're worried about looking ridiculous in front of your family for dancing, you could wait until you're alone. But there's really nothing to be embarrassed about.

Obviously. I'm very aware of the fact that we're not Vocal Adrenaline - I have us rehearse much less and we have very different strengths. I'm playing to those strengths with my insistence that we keep our momentum during this very long break. It wouldn't surprise me if they were all called back for rehearsals days, if not weeks, prior to the start of the spring semester.

[lynnryder]

It really wouldn't take long at the rate they're going. Like forget Marvel or Star Wars, there's going to be a whole HSM cinematic universe soon.

Well that's better than nothing. I agree, I always think that everything happens for a reason.

I like your extra TMTS, actually. It's fun to think of them just continuing to add on letters until it would be quicker to just say the actual title.

A little late to decide to change, though. And I'm still minoring in my first choice, so what's meant to be will be.

[lynnryder]

Not that I'm aware of, no. Though if you really want more supporters then we might be able to drop in and check it out on the way to dinner. Pun intended. Yes, very well thank you. The last month has been a lot of fun.

Also a very valid fact. I assume those plans do not involve being at the match to support me, but things are going well then?

[lynnryder]

Oh for sure, those people get a pass. It's more the people who say they hate it because they want to seem edgy. You can not like Christmas without raining on everyone else's parades, y'know?

I mean, I kind of get it. If you celebrate anything else I guess it's kind of like Christmas is being shoved in your face. On the other hand, on a surface level, who could hate Christmas? The gift-giving, the lights, the romance... At the very least, it's an excuse to put people in a better mood. You'd think, anyway.

[lynnryder]

RYDER: It doesn't but I also can't smell anything wrong with the room, I just don't notice it anymore. RYDER: Preach RYDER: I'd love to say yes but I should probably talk to him myself RYDER: If the topic happens to come up naturally though and he gives an indication of how serious he is about this, I would be interested in that information.

MADISON: Doesn't mean you guys can't get an air freshener! MADISON: Well incredible! This is what we like to hear. Everyone should be having good sex. MADISON: Ope? You want me to snoop? Cause I can snoop.

[lynnryder]

Well I've never been to Dubai, I was picturing you trying to sand sled down Venice Beach instead, which seems a bit... flat for that.

Sand sledding is definitely a thing. When I was in Dubai they had a tourist spot for that and sandboarding. It seemed effective from where I was standing.

[lynnryder]

Well maybe when she gets a bit older you can get her into the better games. There's always Mario Kart too, that's a classic. Thanks dude, it's nice to have my genius acknowledged from time to time.

I hope so! I think it would be awesome if I could get her into video games too! I mean she plays like, Animal Crossing on her Switch so I guess she kinda does, but I'm not really into it. I always knew you were a secret genius, dude!

[lynnryder]

I don't think you have to swing that way for them to enjoy the view. No I won't be, I have plans to ogle Sebastian on Friday night instead.

Well they also can if they so wish if it means more people watching. They'll be incredibly disappointed to learn I do not swing that way. I do hope you won't be one of the poor souls.

[lynnryder]

Vampires or werewolves?

Werewolves, they're badass and they're also not scared of garlic.

[lynnryder]

Ah yes, my bad. My dyslexia gets confused with how many Ts and Ms there are.

Practical smactical. I say do what you enjoy, life's too short to be stuck in a career you hate.

Ah, I think that's the next iteration - High School Musical The Musical The Series The Musical The Series.

I have thought about it, yeah. But... the fun ones don't feel super practical. Like, I love photography, but I think my parents would completely stop talking to me if I majored in only that.

[lynnryder]

There you go, maybe you can even play it together then. No probs, I guess I'm just an accidental gift genius. Though I mostly just thought of what I'd want, which is video games, and tried to make it pre-teen girl friendly.

Honestly, same. And I like have one in the house. I mean, I guess I don't see her as much as I used to but I totally visit loads and she's still a total mystery! Ummm oh! Disney Dreamlight Valley she might! It's got the best of everything. I love gaming, she loved Disney. Thanks, dude! And you said you had no ideas.

[lynnryder]

Rachel's just Rachel, she's competitive and she cares a lot. We'll be fine though, no need to worry about us.

As long as you're not trying poison me, yes, This is going to make me sound basic as fuck but you can't go wrong with a chocolate chip.

Sound's like Berry isn't ready to let New Directions rest. Honestly, if you guys need to practice over the holidays, I'm worried for you.

Sure. We always love a test monkey, right? What's your fave kind of cookie?

[lynnryder]

RYDER: We are boys so that checks out. RYDER: So fucking good 🤤 I don't think it's just the drought ending either, Seb's just great in bed RYDER: Maybe you should... and then you can report back 👀

MADISON: Good. MADISON: Sam and I know what we're both there for. I mean totes also love hanging out with you but, sometimes the apartment just smells like boys. Actually, I'm getting you guys an air purifier for Christmas. MADISON: Well I'm glad you were able to make it through the drought. What's it like tasting water again? lol MADISON: God you two are killing me. MADISON: Maybe I'll just ask Seb whats up next time we go out.

[lynnryder]

Absolutely none, sorry dude. Pre-teen girls are something I know nothing about. Are there any games out there you could get her into?

The Christmas count down is officially ON! Which means I gotta find my family the PERFECT gifts! I know that it's not like.. the most important thing for the x-mas season but I def pride myself on making sure the younger siblings are super happy with their gifts. Any suggestions for something for a pre-teen girl?? All I know is she likes pink, Disney princesses and being cute.
