Making New Friends V: Preemptive Strike

I'm going to blow up Darth and Barack's diabolical plot with a preemptive strike.

Making New Friends IV: Diabolical Plot

Here it is! I managed to sneak up on them and get the photo evidence of the diabolical plot I told you all about earlier!

You see that?! SECRET "Get Mr. A" Meeting. I knew it! They're up to no good. Like a spark on a wire or a splinter in wood.

Making New Friends III: Payback Time!

Okay, so, I'm going to get Darth back for the "dodgeball incident." I made a Death Star Sign Up sheet. Clearly, wanting to get his Death Star back will make him want to sign up and support that cause! Then, wwwwwhhhaaamy!

Making New Friends II

At one point during tea, Darth Vader challenged me to a game on dodgeball. Sure, he talked a big game, but I do hold the Wisconsin Dodgeball Tournament MVP from 1997 to 2004. Yeah. I planned on ending this quick.

Making New Friends I

It's always difficult when you're someplace new. New sights, new sounds. You're broken from your routine. Mostly, I'm missing my friends. The people I see after work has ended and all the children have made their way to the buses.

My first priority was to invite some friends over for tea.

We spoke of music and movies and life.

We shared laughs.

Occasionally, we argued.

We read aloud our favorite books.

Talked politics--health care and Rebel secession.

It was clear a friendship had developed--often, it is only in front of the people we are close to can we cry.
