It’s all a troll. I believe the second one. That’s the only one I believe though.

Butterfly, you have let on that you’re in your thirties before. I would say the upper thirties. This sort of behavior would be typical if you’re having a midlife crisis.

I’m putting you at 36. How close/far away am I? :3

HOW MUCH MORE BUTTERFLY? WHY MENTION THE NUMBER 12 AT ALL IF IT WASNT REFERENCING YOUR EARLY 20s?!??!

Butterfly, if I said, ‘sheesh I haven’t played video games on a console since I lived in that housing situation back home, far more than 2 years even’, then wouldn’t that reference that I lived in a housing situation two years ago? I mean, for fucks sake woman, what the FUCK. How the fuck are you USING the English language if you basically aren’t saying you’re in your early 30s there? :3

Just got through the chapter that introduces Master. I’m reading the Burgin and O’Connor translation now. Originally I was reading the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation and it was so terrible and stilted. Idk why Penguin Classics decided to make P&V their go-to Russian translators. They translate as if they’re translating the Bible.

What are you honestly even talking about? Did you know you can be culturally intelligent and be an attractive woman in your 20s/30s? Almost any single woman I associate with in real life is exactly like that.

Butterfly I am TELLING YOU: do not do anything with anyone l. You are a very intelligent, attractive woman, and we share this culture. Stop overreacting to shit. Thank you.

Also after reading this you will get down on the floor and do what we talked about earlier. :3 thanks
