011: Embarrassed

[livingmyths]

I'm feeling really pretty foolish today, but, judging from the other things I saw, at least I wasn't the only one and I was luckier than some people.

Abby, thank you for taking such good care of me. And please forget everything I said about - well, about practically everything.


Mr. Stark, I'm really sorry I didn't show up to work yesterday. I know it was supposed to be my first day and all, but I... really wasn't myself. I'm at the library right now, but if you still want me I can come today.


Anybody else, well, I'm kind of gonna be working in the most out-of-the-way places I can in the library.


And is it really true that Ianto's gone? He was so nice to me. I'm gonna really, really miss him, if it's true.

See? The fishing for compliments thing! It's happening!

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

You're very funny, Abby. You can always make me laugh!

Oh, and I talked to Mr. Stark and he said it's okay I didn't get there yesterday!

[caf-pow-girl.livejournal.com]

Laughing is very good for your health!

Yeah, Tony's cool like that.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I hope he's nice. He seems nice and Iron Man says he is, but you know, sometimes people show some people one face and others another.

[caf-pow-girl.livejournal.com]

Well, he's been nice to Tosh and that's what matters to me. If he does something to you that you don't wanna do just let me know.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

You mean like sex?

If he wanted to it would be okay. He's doing me a really big favor, so... it would be okay. It's not a big deal.

[caf-pow-girl.livejournal.com]

Sure....sex.

And you need some sex ed Abby style. Because your views on it are kinda sad.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

It's just the way things are, Abby.

Everybody who lives on the street knows that.

[caf-pow-girl.livejournal.com]

Well, you're not on the streets anymore.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I know. It's just... in some ways it's a lot easier on the streets. Everything's a lot more straightforward.

[caf-pow-girl.livejournal.com]

That's what friends are for. To help make sense of the things that don't make sense.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Things are... very different here.

[caf-pow-girl.livejournal.com]

Cool, huh?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

It's... a lot of things that people told me I was crazy to think were real? Are real here. And I... I don't really know where I stand now - like how much of me is messed up and how much isn't.

[caf-pow-girl.livejournal.com]

We're all a little messed up, Ocean. It's kind of a connecting force between everyone. No one's perfect and that's what's great.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Yeah...

I just... I've always kind of wanted to be normal.

[caf-pow-girl.livejournal.com]

You're fine how you are. I like you for being you.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Abby.

I think Iron Man does too.

[caf-pow-girl.livejournal.com]

And that's what's important!

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It makes me feel good at least.

[caf-pow-girl.livejournal.com]

It's supposed to!

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

It's a new feeling.

Pretty much the old people I'd get to tell me stories liked me and that's about it. Or at least they didn't tell me I was crazy or stupid all the time or try to take advantage.

[caf-pow-girl.livejournal.com]

Old people are nice like that.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

And they know lots of stories about the gods and how the world works and all the stuff the people are supposed to know.

[caf-pow-girl.livejournal.com]

Exactly! They're so much fun.
