Excerpt from 'New Year's Resolutions'

I am resolved—to flirt no more,
It leads to strife and tribulation;
Not that I used to flirt before,
But as a bar against temptation.
Here I except (cut out the names)
Perfectly Platonic flames.

Rudyard Kipling

Problematic in a million ways.

Have you all sorted out your resolutions yet?

I will also never flirt again. And use the extra time in my day to become sleeper candidate for valedictorian
Or maybe just read another book. Let’s see how ambitious 2020 me is.

[tristfully]

What about with Perfectly Platonic Flames? I think they would miss you terribly. Maybe so terribly that they may even try and ruin you.

[princeofcat]

So probably just stick with the book thing?

[tristfully]

If we want to maintain the collective sanity of the school.

[princeofcat]

I have very little interest in that.
And suspect you might be exaggerating just a bit.

[tristfully]

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Mary Grace will burn down the school if you win valedictorian.

[princeofcat]

See but that’s a goddamn legacy

[tristfully]

I wouldn't be so sure. I think they cover up 'accidents' around here.

[princeofcat]

If I die in this fire, will you make sure the next generations know the truth?

[tristfully]

I promise to protect your legacy.

[shoulderdevil]

I would pay you 50 dragots if you somehow managed to not flirt for a whole year.

[princeofcat]

This feels light

[shoulderdevil]

I'm not made of money.

[princeofcat]

You know, I think just the knowledge that you think you might have to pay me is payment enough.

[shoulderdevil]

I really do want to see how long you'd last, even though I know you'd ultimately fail.

[princeofcat]

Would you, too?

[shoulderdevil]

I could, but my raw magnetism is often mistaken for flirting so I think it'd be tough to judge.

[damnnearkilledem]

Don't deny your very nature, now.

[princeofcat]

I’d be a whole new person, and who would I even be?

[bigbruise]

Improved

[princeofcat]

But so boring

[bigbruise]

I know the solution

[princeofcat]

Will I hate it?

[bigbruise]

Get WORSE

LEAN IN

[princeofcat]

Finally. An achievable goal
