Chubby girl: Sometimes I’d just like to be invulnerable and throw myself into that forest (motions to woodsy area near Library Pond). Or have healing powers. Though I think I’d rather have invulnerability because that way, it wouldn’t hurt. If you had healing powers it would hurt but then you could heal it. Invulnerability would be way better.
Cute friend: Yeah…
Chubby girl: (Laughs) I have a lot of X Men stuff.

Professor: Does anyone know how to write an underscore in Elvish? In high school my friends and I used to have arguments about how much should be phonetic and how much should be character by character. I would spell ‘tree,’ ‘chee’ and my friend would spell it ‘tree’ and I would say “But the T sounds like a CH!” and he would say “That’s because you’re a damn foreigner.”
