Whoa! Whoa, hold up!

Alex Summers, you got yourself married?! Didn't you get engaged, like, yesterday? And you didn't invite me to the wedding! What are these shenanigans, huh? Was there cake, at least? Do I at least get a bite of wedding cake?

In other news, Gracie ate my slippers.

Yes, I support the idea of registration. I always have. Please don't give me dirty looks in the hallway just assuming that's how I feel. Now I've said it. Now you can give me dirty looks if you want.

That said, I'm also in agreement with making everyone else register. Of course the government is freaking out. Vanessa's entry is absolutely right, Dr. McCoy's entry is absolutely right. We're dealing with extraordinary times, and I think because we're living it we don't realize exactly how drastic and insane it really is. Magneto took over the country. He murdered most of our country's politicians. Mutants had a stronghold on this country for a few terrifying months and yeah. When something like that happens, I think it's totally understandable for the government to take some security measures. Is it fair? No. No, it's not fair. But it's the right thing to do right now.

I voted and now I'm glued to the news to see who's going to win this thing. So much so that I'm not bothering to pack. Just a backpack for me and then a great big massive bag for May and all her stuff for an overnight in New York. Pete, May, and I are going to head into the city. My dad shot me an e-mail. I didn't even know he had an e-mail address. I'm pretty sure that all he wants to do is borrow money. I doubt he wants to talk to me about mom. She dies and I still haven't talked to him about it? So. I don't know what he wants, but he's finally going to meet Peter and he's going to meet my daughter. It's not that I need his approval but he's always going to be my father. Cutting him out of my life is impossible. He's had it tough. Made the wrong choices and now they're sitting badly with him. He's still my dad, and yesterday was Father's Day. I missed him in spite of myself. So. We're going to spend the night at our home in Queens and then go to see him.

Which means... I... am just having a tiny heart attack. I shouldn't, but I am.

So. Married twelve days and apart from another ring on my finger I really don't notice a difference. Pete and I were already living like married people, and with a daughter, no less. So there's no real change. I don't feel older or wiser or anything. I thought the same thing would happen when I had May. I feel like I should feel more like an adult than I do. The only thing I'm getting used to is Mary Jane Watson-Parker. Feels kind of long.

Warren gave us tickets for a luxury cruise. I've always wanted to travel and see something more than New York ... but even when Peter's pulling part-time on Spidey I feel like there's no way he could be pulled away for a couple weeks. But it seems like we're in a quiet time, crisis-wise. At least, in terms of the bigshot crazies. Maybe we'll arrange for it soon before the world implodes again.

ALSO. Warren. Meet me for coffee some time? I haven't been into the city ~~since Mom died~~ for a while and would like to catch up with a friend. I really didn't get to talk much at the wedding.

What are two things that require cake?

1. Weddings
2. Birthdays

As you guys are more than aware, Pete and I are getting married May 1 ... which means choosing a cake. Yesterday was Peter's birthday, which means EATING cake. Kim and I chose a cake from this great little bakery in Manhattan but there was this crazy disaster with it and they thought our date was May 1 2009, not 2008, and they were up in arms about how they weren't going to DO IT IN TIME and it was a complete mess. However, Fred? Fred is awesome. Fred has offered to do our cake and because it was Peter's birthday yesterday there is LOTS of cake in the kitchen right now, all cut up into little pieces for tasting.

He spent all day yesterday making cake along with the normal cafeteria meals (He's amazing and is clearly another person who doesn't sleep) -- there are SIX different flavors and kinds and a bunch of different frosting choices so please, when you've got a chance today after your classes or after whatever you're doing, stop by and have some cake? I know I shouldn't have to BEG you to eat some cake.

Can you get back to me and Fred by commenting here and telling me which kind you liked best? We're trying to reach a consensus as to what's most popular so we know what to serve at the wedding.

So please! Stop by, have some birthday/wedding cake! Try all the flavors, tell me what's your favorite. I tried asking May but she ended up with a face full of frosting.

Flavors
• white cake, vanilla buttercream frosting
• red velvet, cream cheese frosting
• dark chocolate cake, double fudge layers, chocolate frosting (brown wedding cake? what? maybe)
• coconut white cake, coconut/cream cheese frosting
• white cake, raspberry swirl, vanilla icing topped w. red and blue berries
• swiss chocolate cake, candied orange layers, vanilla frosting w. orange zest

Kim? Remember. Budget... please. Small budget...

Hopefully things are going to stay quiet for a little while... at least until May.

Peter and I are planning on getting married on May 1, aaaaannnnd we're looking to do it on the school grounds or somewhere nearby. Somewhere outdoors, and Kim's going to plan the details and it should be nice. It'll be quiet. We don't want to make a big deal out of it and we were thinking about just getting a marriage license at the courthouse but... I don't know, he said something to me about how he always envisioned me getting married on a hilltop and it just kind of... well, I think we'll just make that come true. This is, of course, contingent on the country stabilizing just a little bit and no major disasters like the school being attacked or people being kidnapped during that time.

I wish my mom was here. We should have done it sooner. My having a kid out of wedlock really pissed her off ~~especially when she found out May wasn't John's~~ ... and she was there at two massive wedding ceremonies that didn't work out; one I ran out on and the other that ended up with me getting tossed off a glider from a hundred stories up. God, when I look back at my relationship history it's really embarrassing. ~~and I feel like a tramp~~

I know that I can't do much, but... would someone please tell me if I can do anything? Otherwise I'll be making spring decorations out of construction paper and crayons and cleaning up baby drool.

031 ( School )

I've finally had enough time to sit and think about what happened. It's been what, a week? And I was stupid and despite my fears I went out with Kim, snuck into a mutant club just so I could.... could what, I don't know. Wear a short skirt and raise a little hell? Wear high heels and feel sexy for once? I don't know. Something like that. I left Pete while he's in trouble, left him with May for a night, and I could have gotten myself killed by pulling a stunt like that. I just narrowly got out with my sapien life, thanks to Kim's purse.

So I'm angry. I'm angry about the state of things, that it's acceptable to go after humans in public like that. I'm angry because I was stupid enough to provoke people and, as a human, go into their space. I'm angry because I was selfish and immature on top of that.

I am so sick of this. I am so sick of what Magneto's done. I am going to say this publicly and I'm already sorry but I am so sick of living in an all-mutant institution with nobody who understands. You all say you get it, what with the human government oppressing mutants, but it's not the same. It's really not. You have powers to protect you and it shouldn't make a difference but it does and that's why humans were scared in the first place. Me, I've got a baseball bat and a can of pepper spray and I hope for the best.

No, I don't want to start any debates. You guys here are awesome. I'm just tired and I'm frustrated and I wish that Pete and May and and Gracie and I could go home to our house... I haven't heard from my mom in weeks and I'm just hoping it's because she's still without power and not any other reason. And now May's crying again

Okay. So I think I understand what happened but I'm sure I don't really know. People attacked the school but it was only a couple people and they were taken down, so we just have property damage to deal with. However, poor Bobby is STILL missing ~~and people are starting to think he's dead~~ .. can we go two weeks without there being some kind of insane crisis around here? No? Well, all right, as long as we're being honest with ourselves.

~~Sometimes I just want to go home~~

All this talk about Magneto around has me thinking that I'm going to get strung up and thrown off something high. I can't sleep at night. I hate feeling like a target, and I can't shake this feeling that he'd kill me just for being human and being in his general sphere of existence. I don't buy all this bullshit about how he's going to let humans live normal lives as long as mutants have the power. The people who do stuff like this are vengeful sons of bitches and his ONLY saving grace is that he didn't have some wacko experiment screw him up and make him batty. So... no, I don't feel safe right now.

And? He'd better be gone on Friday. I'm not having his general presence ruin May's birthday. ~~I have a feeling it's going to be awkward as it is with Pete and~~ ~~fuck!~~

May's turning a year old in less than two weeks. Part of me is amazed she's that old already and the other part of me is wondering how I ever lived without her in my life. --That's not to say I don't miss the incredible freedom of not being a mother, because I certainly do, but I barely remember it. It's like this distant dream that I can think about logically but can't really recall.

May's turning a year old and I'm going to get married. Eventually. You know. When... the country isn't controlled by Magneto. I've been looking into it and it's a new federal law -- or let's try "new royal decree" -- that humans can't legally marry people with powers. I'm sure I have to read some fine print in there but that was the gist of it in the news this morning.

It's also too early for me to be up. I need some coffee.

I know that babies don't remember a lot. I know that May isn't going to look back fondly on her first Christmas and think about all the things we did to go out of our way to make sure she was happy and entertained and showered with whatever presents we could give her. And I feel completely stupid for falling into that trap, but.. I'd feel bad if we didn't do something special.

For a while I was thinking I wish that Pete and I were at home instead of at the school, but.. with things how they are, we'd be at home with no power, huddling by the fire to try to keep warm while we have no refrigeration, no telephones.. I'm glad we're here. This is starting to feel like a real family sometimes. I know I'm not a mutant and I just... really appreciate the fact that ~~most~~ people have been nice to me. I also really appreciate the fact that Fred is such a good cook, because I would not be able to cook that kind of Christmas dinner. Ever.

(By the way? We are SO lucky Jean-Paul managed to catch a photo of Logan in the bunny hat, because... if nothing else, we have to preserve that moment for posterity for May when she grows up.)

May had a period where she was sleeping through the night and now she isn't. She's restless ~~and I think it's because her father is restless~~ and.. I don't know, she's acting weird. She's acting weird and I'm worried she might be sick, and it's not normal baby-sick. I know I'm completely paranoid, I just... I don't want to not know what's going on and end up killing her, right? At the risk of sounding like a complete airhead, this is a hell of a lot harder than keeping a goldfish ... and I killed all my goldfish.

( what you know )

Acquaintances / General Knowledge

• An actress and model of minor success, particularly a line of "Emma Rose" perfume print advertisements
• When not staying at the school, she lives in Queens
• Translated Aubrey's sign language when he taught Computer Science in place of Peter Parker in the spring of '07
• Volunteers in local relief efforts helping humans suffering under Magneto's new regime
• Is not afraid to argue, quite loudly, with Peter Parker in public

Friends
( Artie Maddicks, Kurt Wagner, Aubrey Ryan )
• Was an average student in school, and though she's intelligent she isn't necessarily book-smart -- she sometimes regrets not going to college but doesn't have it planned in her near future
• Addicted to macaroni and cheese and most junk foods, but is constantly going off on how she "can't be eating like that"
• Terrified of neglecting and accidentally killing her daughter
• Is not scared of heights but definitely has a fear of falling
• Trained in basic self-defense and always carries a bottle of pepper spray in her purse

Close Friends
( Kimberly Lincoln, Peter Parker )
• Father was verbally and occasionally physically abusive -- MJ constantly fights feeling worthless and is always striving to prove herself; she is particularly guilty of defining her self-worth by the man she's dating (and has been very easily used by men in that sense)
• Created a breezy, carefree, party-girl persona in order to escape from a miserable and embarrassing home life
• Lost her virginity to Flash Thompson after prom in the back seat of his car -- and totally regrets it
• Almost had sex with Harry Osborn while they were dating but he was so supremely awkward that she had to fake sick in order to get out of it
• Is too short to be a really successful model and is a somewhat mediocre actress -- she has raw talent but lacks technique and poise .. her career is extremely unstable and causes a lot of unpleasant mood swings
• Isn't very comfortable with her body since having May
• Never planned on having children this early, and is trying really hard to view May as a blessing instead of a curse -- but she can't say that May was the best thing to ever happen to her .. and she sort of resents Peter when she's in a bad mood
• Peter broke up with MJ shortly after she found out she was pregnant, before she got a chance to tell him -- she ended up lying to him so he could keep on living his life as a superhero and told him it was John Jameson's child
• MJ and John Jameson dated during MJ's pregnancy even though John knew the truth -- he was willing to take the child in as his own, and was present when May was born ... however, once Peter found out the truth two months later, John felt it was in everyone's best interests to break off his engagement with MJ and let May get to know her real father
• Resents Peter for having the "spider-sense" connection with his daughter that causes May to like Peter more; fears May will end up just like Peter in a dangerous superhero lifestyle

Currently Unknown
• Has terrible nightmares about the times she's been held hostage, tortured, or thrown from great heights -- so bad that she wakes up by sitting bolt upright and almost screaming; takes copious amounts of Ambien in order to deal with it ... sometimes she'll sleep through May's crying (which Peter would have noticed)
• Had a really dirty sex dream about Scott Summers once and can't look him in the eye anymore
• Will sit down by herself when May's asleep, pop in a romantic comedy, and eat a whole pint of ice cream (then eat a few carrot sticks to make herself feel better)
