Truthfully? I don't think they even realize its broken, they just restock the snacks that have expired and leave it. You can always bring in your own Cheez-Its too! Then you get the quiet and a tasty snack, which may very well be the best of both worlds.

Thank you. Well wouldn't they have just fixed the vending machines? Like when they fill them? I do like Cheez-Its though, do I want to take that risk?

Aren't you just the sweetest No harm done, I can see the logic there and it helps me in the placement process. My focus is always on finding the perfect match, so I wouldn't say it's harder to place one or the other. It's just about waiting for the right person to walk through the door. We are, but I'm also happy to schedule an after-hours appointment to accommodate, so you tell me when you're available and we will make it happen. Sadly I don't think I can adopt out all of our cats to one person, as much as I'm sure you'd love on them. No need to worry though - you'll know when you've met the right furry friend.

Oh yay!!! Hi Phoebe, I love you already!!! Oh I didn't know that, I think selfishly I would want two because I'd still worry about them being lonely... is it harder to place the bonded pairs??? Or the single pet ones??? Ooo okay, I can totes do that, are you guys open at the weekend too? My weeks are pretty packed with teaching, but I can also be free in the evenings. I think the problem won't be seeing if any of them steal my heart, it will be all of them stealing my heart and there's def not room in my apartment for that many kitties, as much as I'd love there to be... maybe I should move, get a mansion or something...

You know, I might have to take you up on that! Shakespeare always went over my head but maybe that's changed with time.

It's going to be up in early January! I'm very looking forward to it. Would you like to do a buddy reading of the play with me?

[phoebeclar]

It sounds like their loss is our gain! That actually reminds me, I have a few orders to place with you, if I haven't missed the holiday deadline?

Anything to give back to someone who helps cats. A few are returns from my Etsy store. Some people don't measure their cats before ordering. Oh, I would love to cuddle them!

[phoebeclar]

Please share, my friend! I am on the edge of my seat in anticipation.

Well it was by Gracie, so of course it was the best.

[phoebeclar]

That's understandable! They do say variety is the spice of live. Please do keep us in the loop! Within the confines of your contract, of course.

Oh I have nothing against romcoms, I have done a few in the past but it just seemed to be all I got so I wanted something different. No sneak peeks as of yet, but maybe when things are undergo we might be able to do so.

It was delightful, though she did sometimes take up a good chunk of class time by telling us about her granddaughter's lacrosse games. Give it a bit more time and you'll all realize you're in the same boat. The true college experience is forgetting about major exams until they're around the corner, you're fitting in already!

Damn, 63 years old? That's really awesome. I need someone like that to come into class so I don't feel like the resident grandpa. Oh, fuck. Why did I forget midterms were a thing until right now?

[phoebeclar]

The people who told you that are correct! What a pleasure it is to meet you, Liv. My name's Phoebe, owner of Second Chance rescue and the self-appointed saint of matching every animal to their perfect human! Some cats actually prefer being in a one-pet household but if you have space in your heart and home for two, I definitely have a few bonded pairs at the forefront of my mind! My first bit of advice is always to stop by our office, fill out an application, and then maybe pair the cat room a visit to see if any of them steal your heart.

Hi, hello, people have been telling me that you can help me find a couple of kitties to adopt??? I'll give any of them a home, kittens, seniors, three legs, no legs, I don't mind, I'd give all of them a home if I had the room, but I'm definitely thinking two because then they won't be lonely when I'm at work and they'll always have a friend to hang out with and do cat things with!!!! Also hi, I'm Liv, I'm super responsible and I had a cat when I was a kid but it has been a little while since I owned one, but I will love them with my whole heart I promise @phoebeclar

[phoebeclar]

Little ol' me? A good song, I hope.

Heard a song the other day, and it made me think of you. @phoebeclar

[phoebeclar]

You really are too sweet to us! You're welcome to bring them whenever but if you stop by next Tuesday, I might have just finished the intake for an 11 year old longhaired beauty who I think you'd love to love on.

I made a few animal holiday sweaters! When can I drop them off and pet some kitties? @phoebeclar

[phoebeclar]

What sort of TikToks were they doing? I've seen people who film videos of them reapplying their makeup during the day and videos of people defying the laws of physics while blasting music at full volume in a public space, and one of those is... much more disrespectful to shared spaces than the other.

So I know the girls are always filming TikToks before & after practice, but at least I run a tight enough ship that they know absolutely not to do it during practice. But I'm pretty sure I saw some giggly group of teens apparently filming in the church lobby? Not that cameras at the church are new, but for a TikTok? Really?

I'm not cultured enough to know much about the show itself, but I do know excitement when I see it and that's enough for me. Congratulations! When does the show run?

I’m so excited that I could honestly burst, and if I’m being completely truthful with myself I don’t think I could hold this in for much longer, but I wanted to say that yours truly just received a phone call in which, yours truly, has been cast! In a show! Outside of PSU!

Now before I completely lose my wits, pinch myself or find out that this was one colossal and realistic dream, I’ve just got to tell someone. So here I am, internet! I’ve just been cast in an all-female production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and I’ll be playing the swapped role of Lysandra. I’m so excited about this latest venture and do hope you’ll all come to see me!

The site can be used for whatever strikes your fancy! I've seen people asking for places to hang out, invitations to performances, news about the going-ons around campus, and just some good old fashioned check in posts on how people are doing. It truly is a hodgepodge, and it's very nice to see most of the time so welcome aboard.

is this how you make an introduction post here? It's been a while since I used this site, to be honest, I never thought it would be used again but I was wrong. I am going to introduce myself but I kind of would think you might know who I am. Oh wait maybe not unless you are musical fans then you might. Hi I'm Rachel Barbara Berry, Broadway Star and currently a Musical Theatre Professor at PSU and a Singing teacher if you want lessons. So what are people using this site for then?

[phoebeclar]

As a romcom fam, it does hurt my heart to know that there'll be fewer out there with a PSU alum's name tied to them. But it sounds like you are far more excited with this avenue, and that's something I have to support! Any sneak peeks you can give us?

My agent has sent me some scripts for potential films to direct, finally they are not a romcom and instead are actually action films and dramas. I am excited to read them and maybe find my next project. Don't worry this won't stop me from being your amazing professor if you are studying film studies, just means I will have something to do around the summer next year. However, we are approaching the end of the year which is crazy, has anyone got exciting things coming up before the end of the year?

I had a classmate through all four years of my undergrad who started the program at 63 and walked the stage at graduation with the rest of us! A few study sessions where you all stress-bond over a mid-term exam and they'll completely forget about the age thin in no time.

What the fuck is up, PSU? Not gonna lie, they gave me the info for this site when I got accepted and I completely forgot about until now. Feels weird being twenty-eight and a Freshman. My classes are filled with eighteen year olds and I'm freaked the fuck out. They're all looking at me like I'm an old man. Me? This pretty face? Please. Speaking of this pretty face, name's Nate. Who wants to show me around campus? Or better yet, tell me the ins and outs of what it's like here. What's the go to bar for the students? The cafe on campus suck? Etc.

[phoebeclar]

Congratulations on surviving the first two months of your college career! I'm not sure if its changed since I've graduated but just a few years ago, there was a corridor on the third floor of the tech center that's usually pretty quiet. I think its because the vending machines are always broken so it doesn't have much appeal. So long as that's still true, and you don't mind the lack of Cheez-Its, you should be able to get some quiet there!

So two months here at PSU and it's definitely a lot different than I expected. It's more chill and laid back than school, and everyone is really nice. I don't know why I thought it would be more strict. But I still don't know my way around campus, is there any like quiet rooms or some place a student can go if they're feeling overwhelmed or anxious? If not this college would really benefit from one.
