asking for a friend

Welcome to all the unfortunate new users of Retrospec. You should know the unnatural changes of the world also affect loved ones outside the city, who are oblivious as the non-Retrospec users here; you might also experience some physical changes or receive unwanted things in the mail. Usually at the start of the month, given others' accounts. Anyway... If people were being very insistent. (Very.) And refusing to take no for an answer, what type of birthday present would you ask for? P.S. Indecisiveness is unhelpful and not the point of the post, please refrain from posting so unless you have some idea.

I tried that already, but I agree. I'd rather save for college instead of something inane.

So, what, they said no to cash?

[ What good is that? ]

Okay… what about going out for lunch or something? Food’s always good.

They're overseas. Streaming it would be strange?

... And troublesome. Actually, international connection gets worse when you're a Retrospec user.

You should’ve said that, then!

[ guess that is a pickle, isn’t it. Jack’s never dealt with anyone overseas, this is a weird problem to have. ]

Well, you got any hobbies? Maybe ask for something to go with those, like… art supplies or something, I don’t know.

Some of the others have talked me into getting my journal keeping back, so that's probably what I'll be sticking with. A nice pen and potentially a new notebook.

[ he has no genuine hobbies that take up more time bc his life is sad and #2SrsToLive ]

[ Journal keeping?? Well, if that makes you happy, pal… ]

Well, see, there you go! That’s something!

So, journal keeping? That like keeping a diary?

[esperimental]

Pretty much. I've been told admitting "diary" straight up is supposedly more embarrassing to say but that doesn't make a lot of sense.

[insantafe]

What, does it sound too girly for them or something? Just because they’re insecure about something doesn’t mean you have to be. You can call it what you want, journaling or keeping or diary or whatever. It’s the same thing, and it’s nobody else’s business, anyways.

Now that's a statement I can agree with. Who cares what strangers think, anyway.
