(ooc: psh, never a mistake!)
Hannah Schwartz has replied to Henry: Oh! I forgot I had sent that, terribly sorry! I suppose I'm... still getting accustomed to typing on the iPhone? :) Feel free to pass judgment on my generation and our inability to separate from technology, even when it is cause for acute embarrassment.
No, Mum, it was a very innocent kiss with a nice Jewish boy with a good job who knows how to cook and loves his mother. ;) I'm kidding, but really, me and Jason? Preposterous!
Hannah Schwartz has replied to Benedict: It's a standing offer, if there are any future gatherings you wish to avoid! I don't want to pry, so I'll just offer my sympathies and understanding... even if my awkward family holidays happen to occur at slightly different times in the year!
Oh, that would be amazing, thank you! I am, of course, keenly interested in attending. It would only be fair of me to return the favour someday; I have some (very minor!) art and theatre connections and -- if you're interested! -- I can most certainly keep you posted. Unless, I suppose, you suddenly have a desperate need for legal counsel. :)

Benedict Beckett has replied to Hannah's comment: Well then... the monthly Beckett dinner party is something I could do with avoiding! I'll bring the concerto tickets, you bring the Chinese, and I'm sure a much nicer evening would be had by all... except perhaps any violinists who wouldn't particularly enjoy looking out into the audience to find two people eating fried rice and spring rolls but, that's life. Ah it's not prying, the long and short of it is that my family just don't seem to understand that I don't particularly desire to be trapped in a confined space with them for many hours. I ask you, why is that such a difficult concept for them to grasp?
Of course, you're quite welcome, and really returned favours are not necessary, as long as a fellow violinist is happy, I'm happy. What a coincidence, I too have minor connections in theatre... alright, admittedly, those 'minor connections' boil down to one of my exes who is manager of a venue which oftens hosts classical musical events. Even though he called me "the most selfish, up-himself prick on earth" he still gives me tickets to Bach... I reckon he's really rather sorry he judged me as a prick and trying to atone. I may try a bit of emotional blackmail on him in that case... are there any hard to come by tickets you particularly want? ;)

Hannah Schwartz has replied to Benedict: Sounds like a plan, then! I understand; my family doesn't seem to grasp that it's not exactly helpful when they demand to know why I'm not dating and insist on introducing me to some "nice accountant" they've just met.
Just out of curiosity, how long have you been playing? And for what it's worth, I consider myself a decent judge of character, and you do not seem like a "selfish, up-himself prick" in the least, let alone the greatest one on earth (I've met a few serious contenders for that title!). So if your ex's fully understandable guilt happens to result in Mozart tickets, I certainly wouldn't complain. :)
My connections happen to come courtesy of my very first flatmate, a stage actress... I stayed up running lines with her, managed several of her histrionic breakdowns and covered her half of the rent on more than one occasion, so I presume it's safe to say that she "owes me".

Benedict Beckett has replied to Hannah's comment: And what a marvellous plan at that! Good... and oh yes, I certainly understand that feeling too. You see my parents (alright, it was primarily my mother anyway) stopped setting me up with 'a lovely friend of the family' a few years ago when they realised that I would quite easily, and quite happily at that, glare stonily at said 'lovely friend' until they whimpered and claimed they had to leave before running off with their tail between their legs. You should try that approach, it might work for you too... I think you need to get practicing a stony glare though. Ohh, or you could say you're gay, they'll stop setting you up with men then at least. In my case, my parents are apparently ever so slightly confused by, quote, 'my sexual preference' that even if they dared ever attempt to set me up on a blind date, they wouldn't know which gender they'd have the most success with. I've never been more delighted in my life to be the way I am.
Hmmm... good question, I think I was 6 when I started playing. I didn't particularly enjoy it as such until I hit my teens though. Being given an instrument and tutored is just 'what you do' if you're a Beckett; I think between the family we could quite happily make up a little orchestra of our own with added dysfunctional outbursts in the middle of performances! And yourself?
I thank you for that, Hannah. Sadly you have not seen me when I've been deprived of cigarettes and forced to interact with phenomenally stupid people... my 'prick' side tends to come out then. In my defence, I wouldn't say I was the number one prick though since the likes of murderers, terrorists and such would surely be higher than myself, yes? Back to slightly more savoury matters... yes, I plan on using his guilt to get hard-to-come-by tickets for many years to come. And, Mozart you say? Duly noted! ;) Aaaah now that sounds like a much more lively connection to theatre, is she anyone I'd know? Yes, she does 'owe you', as it were, I'd say that was a fair conclusion to come to.

Henry Darcy has replied to Hannah: That's quite alright, it amused me at least, if that is any consolation at all? Perhaps not. Yes, I should imagine the presence of alcohol probably impairs one's ability to text using touchscreen phones. I shall certainly not pass any kind of 'adult' judgment on 'your generation', nonsense, I'm attached to my BlackBerry as much as the next tech-obsessed teenager. But you are embarrassed? Oh, Hannah, don't be... I've received much more embarrassing texts from people over the years and I can now reveal to you that I have sent some horrendously mortifying drunk texts myself, believe it or not!
I am certainly not your mother... what a disturbing thought! I tend to just assume a protective father-like role over you, it's only natural when I've known you and your family for so many years and watched you grow up. You and Jason is not preposterous on his part- I do have eyes, Hannah, and I'm perfectly certain he would quite enjoy kissing you at midnight. However... you, young lady, are to stay well away from Mr Cullen in any social situation, especially if it involves alcohol. Is that clear?! (Oh, what do you know I can do the mothering voice quite convincingly!)

Hannah has updated her status:
Hannah Schwartz is planning a road trip! I can take three people with minimal luggage. The Prius = sadly still not bigger on the inside.

Rory King has commented on your status: I am very disappointed :( I'd always kind of held onto the hope that your Prius was secretly a TARDIS and you just didn't want to tell everyone in case they all wanted a ride to Jupiter in it. Been watching a bit too much Doctor Who maybe?
Seriously though, where are you off to on this little road trip? :)

Olivia Andrews has commented on your status: Take me, take me, TAKE ME!
Reasons you should take me, numbero uno (the only one you need really): I am loads of fun! Exhibit A- the pictures you posted above.
And you should take Jules as well cos, well we are epic together, right? Also since Rory called your tiny little car the Tardis I think he should get points for going to right? Let's take a vote, which three people get to go on this epic road trip with the awesomest roomie ever?!

Hannah Schwartz has commented on her status: Okay, you've got me. PRIUS = Planetary Roadtrips In Ultradimensional Space. Also, it has a sunroof.
All stops are at the mercy of my lovely companions! I still need to draw up a detailed itinerary.
Hannah Schwartz has sent Rory a message: My mother is coming to visit; I think I need a trip to recover. :X
Hannah Schwartz has sent Olivia a message: Can we just go ahead and start calling him Mr. Andrews, or...?

Rory King has commented on your status: I KNEW IT. A sunroof but not a swimming pool... eh it'll do I suppose. ;)
Aww 'companions', I like it and I kinda always wanted to be a companion but maybe we should leave my nerding over DW for another time?
Y'know, coincidentally, I always thought the Beeb should mix it up a bit by making the Doctor regenerate into a woman at some point. So, most importantly, should I (/would you kill me if I were to) refer to you as 'the Doctor' from now on then, Hannah Banana? :)
Rory King has sent you a message: Your Mum, really? Aww come on, it'll be nice to see her away from that world where she's like 'I am a very busy and very important surgeon in the Big Apple'... right?

Hannah Schwartz has commented on her status: I think so too! We ought to write a letter!
I wouldn't mind at all, though I don't suppose my adventures would actually make for very compelling television. They'd need to devote at least three episodes to the recording of things in my day planner.
Hannah Schwartz has sent Rory a message: It'll be okay. It'll be okay. It'll be okay!
I just need to clean the flat again, make a list of acceptably healthy restaurants, minimize all chances of running into my dad and find someone to be my fake boyfriend. Easy!

Rory King[/color] has written on your Wall: A very happy birthday to you Hannah Banana, my lovely lovely step-sis! :) I hope you have a fab birthday, you definitely deserve it, you hard-worker and I suspect a girls' night out is probably on the cards tonight if Livvy's excitement today is anything to go by... it usually is a good sign of her mischeviously planning a surprise night out. Anyways, what I mean to say is, enjoy it and have lots of fun and drinks for me, yes?
