Tell me about it, it can be really freaky sometimes.

What's unreal today/

Mostly people talking about buying castles like its buying a new pair of boots.

Not that there's anything wrong with having money or spending it, it's just really, really surreal when I'm planning on having to start working as soon as I'm legal so I can afford college.

Yeah, I honestly can't imagine having that much money. It would be awesome but I can't wrap my head aroun it, to think I always used to dream about a good job and nice house.

I know, right? I mean, we live in a mansion. A mansion! The guy who owns this place has more money than Trump and just decides he's going to open a school. I mean, why not? He must have been really, really bored. Or crazy. Crazy bored?

Good for us and all, but not your every day 5 year plan.

I haven't even really figured anything out yet. I mean, I'd love to dance but only the really good dancers ever make a good living off it.

See, turning the mansion into a school is something I can understand. What else would you do with a big house with lots of space? That's what Jo March did when her Aunt left her Plumfield, after all. * And you don't have to be bored or crazy, just really, REALLY into doing stuff for other people.

I want to join up when I get old enough, but Dad's all "do better than I did, have a choice, blah blah." So it's college for me until I can convince him I'm a military brat for life.

*What? I'm a Little Women fan. My mom used to read those books to me when I was little.

Nerd. That's cool, I really like Jules Verne, myself.

He puts up with us, I'm pretty sure crazy is a good adjective in this case, no other explanation for it really is there.

We're in high school, I don't even want to think about a 5 year plan, just planning things out to the end of this year is scary enough.

I guess. Admittedly right now my plans consist of going on a long hike and then heading off to Cheerleading Camp with Clea, so, you know, living for today and all.

Tell me about it.

How'd you get into bar-tending? I think I can start doing retail work this year but I'm going to want to earn more then minimum wage at some point while I'm working through college.

Tell me about it. Who owns a castle in France? And talks about buying another one, like it's no big?

No wonder some folks here don't exactly have a grip on the real world.

Rich people, it would seem. I kinda feel bad for them sometimes. Can't be easy being that removed from the real world. At least they haven't bought a volcanic island and built a lair.

See that's what I've been missing out on, I should probably get a pet shark too to protect the moat of the lair...all kidding aside I'd love a secret getaway that no-one else knew about. Lair, hide-away cabin whatever, someplace to go and relax.
