There is plaster dust all over our keyboard. And a pony shelf up. Hooray! We've got our desk back! From down here, it looks like Princess Luna is plotting things.

Been a little bit... thinky lately. I've been thinking about who I am as a part of Gembell. I feel like the cheery, awkward, shy little sister in this strange family. While I'm always happy, lately I seem to be goofing things up pretty regularly. And I really struggle sometimes to get my point across, simply because I'm too shy and it just messes everything up.

I mean, I'll probably never have any sort of significant other, like Em and Beth, because I'm just too shy to actually tell someone I like them. And if I ever did get it out, I don't think I'd be able to hold a real conversation. I just... clam up.

I wish I were more like Em. Bold and not afraid to say what's on her mind.

Ohhh I know that feeling of not being able to tell someone I like them. I had it for years and years while just hanging out with that person and being best friends omg. I think even after stuff happened and becoming completely determined to be JUST FRIENDS we're still a little ambiguous. *sigh* It's hard to tell someone you like him/her. But you can at least be friends in the meantime!

Shyness is pretty hard to work around. What works for me is to think about everyone as potential friends rather than anything more involved. That way you're gambling either: a) getting a new friend, or b) not. Not a big risk there! =)

Hehehhe. I'm that, too. :)

What I really like about being in a multiple system is that everyone is different in their own ways. Some of us are loud and bold and others are quiet and like reading books and stuff. I think you're awesome the way you are, Ellie :D

I think I'd like to get to know you better. Sounds like you and I have a lot in common.
