They're adorable! And it's kind of dumb to hold a grudge for what an animal has to do to survive. I mean, people don't get pissed off at dogs for eating meat.

Yeah, I feel the same way. Like, I do have an Instagram, but I mostly follow pet pictures. It's more fun that way instead of oh, wow, why don't I look like her or vacation like her or seem as happy as her. Most of the stuff people post online is really shallow once you look closely at it. And I have no idea if my face scrunches. Does it?

[that's fine, because so was Lexi. blushing nerds!]

Yeah, I should probably ask for help with that side of things, as well as building up a lot of stuff that can be traded. I was able to get a lot of the books pretty cheap, but it's like now they know I'm actively looking for stuff. So they're charging more, which sucks.

Still better than cash!

Sure, it's the truth, so why not say it. Right?

[and she chuckles] All I can think about is that movie, Mars Attacks? Those giant brains and helmets?

Seriously? You don't have to do that.

[it still took her by surprise when people were willing to do nice things for her]

Definitely. Everyone should get to be that lucky.
