Okay, so I admit it. I overreacted. Losing that diamond at the wedding was really no big deal. No villains have shown up on my front door yet, and I haven't been kidnapped on my way to the grocery store. Maybe I've been overreacting about all this the whole time. Yes, I probably shouldn't broadcast that I spew gems when I speak, which means I really CAN'T speak, but hey, worse things could happen, right? I've decided I'm just going to go with this. I'm going to live the way I want to, with or without powers, and I'm starting by going to the duck pond this evening! Wish me luck!

Venturing Out
Well, I finally left the apartment. For the first time in days. Like I said, I really needed to get groceries. And nothing bad has happened so far. I suppose some of you readers were right. I guess I overreacted at the wedding. Maybe nothing bad will come of all that after all.
I'm still not going outside except for necessities, though.

Isolation
I thought I was bored when I first locked myself inside. I had no idea.
Now that I'm the only one in the apartment, what with Ivy being married now, I have absolutely nothing to do. Cecily is still on her honeymoon, Ivy just left, and I have nothing to keep me company except my computer and Red (my stuffed wolf. Don't make fun, she's the only friend I have right now). I've also discovered a rather inconvenient truth about being a hermit in the middle of the city: you still have to go grocery shopping. Ivy used to do it all, and I didn't have a problem being inside all the time, but now... I'm running low on food, and I still haven't left the apartment since the wedding. I know I need to go out soon, but I'm terrified that the minute I stick my nose out the door, Rumplestiltskin is going to swoop down and carry me off.
Being alone is no fun.
I hate everything that glitters.

Stupid
I can't believe... How could I... ARGH!!!!
Let's start from the beginning, shall we?
Ivy's wedding went great. May as well start with that. Lots of people, she looked gorgeous, they were so in love and all that. Super romantic. I think I even recognized the tall skinny guy we'd met in the park that one time. The problem came at the reception. I'd done pretty well keeping my mouth shut. The sign language was apparently convincing enough that no one asked questions. We were having the dinner, and I was sitting by the guy from the park, named Jack, and a brunette librarian called Isabelle. She was hilarious. She has this Irish accent, and she was great at telling jokes and... I laughed.
It was just once, one little laugh, but it was enough. A diamond fell to my plate.
The others didn't act like they noticed. They were all laughing pretty hard themselves, and I was able to scoop the thing up and stick it in my pocket. But still. What if someone saw? What would happen? Is anyone going to say anything?
Oh, I'm just so mad at myself. I shouldn't have gone out again, I really shouldn't, but it was Ivy's wedding? What was I supposed to do, not show up? And I'd been doing so well, I thought it would be a good idea...
Stupid. I am so freaking stupid.

Wedding Plans
Hello again, sorry to have been absent, but with Ivy and Harry's wedding on Saturday, there hasn't been time to do much besides scramble to get everything ready. The dress, the food, the dresses for the bridesmaids (Ivy asked me to be a bridesmaid!), EVERYTHING!!! While I'm excited for Ivy, I am also exhausted.
Oh, and there's her stepmother asking for help with the dessert menu for the reception. I'm off again, folks! Hopefully I'll see you sometime after the wedding.

Back Again
Hey, sorry I haven't been around lately, but as I said, normal life is boring. There hasn't really been much to post about. I've actually been thinking of going out again. Last time wasn't a problem, and the villains have been laying pretty low as of late. I think a walk would be nice. It might clear my head.
Ivory and Harry have decided to move their wedding date up. They're tying the knot next week (which has of course sent their parents into fits). The odd thing is, Ivy won't tell me why. When I bring it up she just tells me Ceci and Ernie "inspired" them, but the thing is, they've been acting a little off lately. They seem worried, and it's rubbing off. Is something happening that they're not telling me about? Is someone sick? I feel like I'm losing my best friend.

Back to Normal
Well, things have sort of gone back to normal now. Ceci and Ernie are off on their honeymoon, there have been no reports on the villains around town, and once again my life as a hermitess is getting to me. As are all these jewels! I can't walk from my bedroom to the kitchen without stepping on a slew of them! They're worse than Legos! I can't seem to get them out of the apartment fast enough. If I didn't think it would send all kinds of dangerous signals to the supervillains in town, I'd just start sweeping them out into the street.
Ugh. Normal life for me is ridiculous.

Cecily's Explanation
Well, after yesterday's rather unexpected events, I've decided to do another guest post and let Cecily explain what happened herself.
Hello everyone, it's Cecily Algernon here - oh, but I suppose it's Cecily Skye now, and I guess you knew that it was me already. Oh dear, it's just, I'm so flustered. We didn't really plan for this to happen, it just... did.
I guess I should start from the beginning. You see, Ernie and I have been dating for a few years now, but my step-mother... she didn't like him very much. She said he took me away too much, that my place was at the house with her. Either that or at design school, learning to make a living for myself. Monday I just snapped.
I was about to go out with Ernie again, and I was sneaking out. Sort of. I mean, I wasn't trying to make it a secret that I was leaving with Ernie, but I wasn't exactly broadcasting it for the world to know either. I was out the door before my step-mother noticed I was leaving, and she was so angry she said that if I left now, I couldn't come back.
I left.
All of my important things were at the school anyway. Ernie and I packed his car, and I slipped in the back to grab a few things from my bedroom, and then we were gone. I admit I wasn't really thinking about anyone else. I was just... it was the strangest feeling. I felt free and scared and excited all at once, and I had no idea what was going to happen, but somehow I was okay with that. Then Ernie pulled off the road and told me that... well, he said that he'd planned to propose to me while we were out today. He said things had obviously changed, and he understood if I didn't want to, but he had the ring, and we were together, and all I wanted was to say yes. So, well, I did.
I had been designing a wedding dress, just for practice, and I'd nearly finished putting it together at school, so I went and asked my professor if I could take it. I honestly didn't think she'd let me, but I guess she's more of a romantic than I was expecting. We had the ring, and the dress, and Ernie borrowed a suit, and we left. We got married that night (no, it was NOT Vegas, there is absolutely nothing romantic about that!).
We came back yesterday because we felt guilty we hadn't told anyone, but we're leaving on our official honeymoon tonight. Ernie won't tell me where, he said it was a surprise. I don't know where it could be, though, both of us are still students...
I tried to talk to my step-mother about it today, but she wouldn't even open the door. I don't know if she'll ever forgive me, but is it bad I don't feel any regret for what we've done?
Ruby and Ivory both have cute farewells, but I can't think of any at the moment, so I'll just say goodbye. :)
