When Jayden wakes up in the middle of the night, they don’t think twice about carefully easing out of Carroll’s embrace and slinking their way down to the kitchen. There’s always a fuck ton of food in this house and oftentimes a fuck ton of NONE where he’s staying for the moment. So nabbing a quick bite doesn’t seem like a problem. Carroll doesn’t mind it, and his opinion is the only one who’s matters. It’s not like his parents are ever really around to notice shit anywa—

❝ Oh shit. ❞ Jayden says with a small start, noticing the silhouette of a woman hunkered down at a table, books and papers surrounding her even at this time of night. Resting a hand on his chest, they will their heart to steady from that small unexpected spike of adrenaline… Well, shit. They hadn’t planned on meeting Carroll’s mom tonight. Or possibly ever. Or like this. But looks like that’s how things are going.

❝ Uh… I was just… stealing some of your food. ❞ Jayden awkwardly begins, joke falling flat from nerves as they flash an uncertain smile. ❝ Don’t worry though, heh- I’m not like, some random kid who broke into your house. ❞ Yeah, THAT’S a normal thing to say. ❝ I know Carroll. He’s actually one of my best friends— ❞ Technically Louie is his best friend, but that’s because he’s pretty sure crushes don’t count. Makes it kinda unfair to put anyone else up against the special way Carroll makes him feel. But saying Carroll is anything LESS than a ‘best’ friend feels wrong too. ❝ And I was just… chilling here for the night. ❞

❝ … Honestly, I didn’t think anyone else was even home. ❞ - (*nudges a boi meeting his future momther-in-law for the First Time*)

Laurel wonders sometimes why she assigns long, in depth essays like this. The students are hardly thrilled to write them, and grading them takes ages. That's what she gets for being an English professor, she figures. And she loves it, really, she does, even if it keeps her up, working by lamplight in the kitchen so she doesn't wake her son and husband. Not that her husband is home. She chooses to believe he's working, too.

She's tired enough that her reaction to a child entering the room is delayed, but not so tired that she forgets to smile. First impressions are important, especially when it comes to people who matter to Carroll.

"Don't worry, sweetie. I know he has friends over sometimes. Did you not get to eat tonight? I can make you something." She stands and makes her way over to the kid, taking in their frame, their style, their awkward but clearly well meaning energy.

"I'm Laurel. Carroll's mom. You can call me whatever you want. Laurel, Mrs. Downy, Mom." She laughs, scattered but light. "And you're... don't tell me."

Okay. Cots has been on all of Carroll's sports teams. He's taller than this, she thinks, and he's got the dorky, handsome father. Yeah, she knows Cots. Which means this is either Jayden or Arya, and from what she's heard, Jayden isn't just a friend. Jayden hovers in that weird space that makes Carroll's eyes light up and his face flush and his hands get all fidgety, even if he won't admit it yet.

When she checked on him earlier, he had his chin tucked over this kid's head and his arms wrapped tight around them, a sleepy smile on his face. She would hate to assume and get it wrong, but...

"Jayden? Carroll's told me all about you. I think I might know more about you than I do about him at this point!

"You want a grilled cheese sandwich? Or something else? I can make you whatever you want, as long as it's Kosher. And you can turn on the lights, if you want. I think Carroll's tired enough that he won't wake up."

Remembering a Decade Through The Major News

Where were you when..........?

In which I will attempt to remember where I was during the major news stories of 2010-2019 according to Daily Hive (https://dailyhive.com/edmonton/things-that-happened-in-2010s?auto=true)

Could be fun!

2010

Vancouver hosts the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in February 2010

I remember watching The Golden Goal from Sidney Crosby in my bed because I was too hungover from the night before. But what a great moment for our country it was.

First iPad released in April 2010

I still don’t have a tablet. Judge away

Uber goes live in San Francisco in May 2010

My first Uber trip I can remember was in Cincinatti, Ohio in 2017 and I thought it was the coolest thing ever.

Netflix expands to Canada in September 2010

I don’t recall when I signed up but it would have been around 2011/2012

Instagram launches in October 2010

I signed up while in college. My first photo was a horrible lighting selfie with two dear college friends. I didn’t really start posting regularly til probably 2016.

2011

Airbnb begins operation in January 2011

I believe my first Airbnb stay was in the summer of 2017.

Rebecca Black’s “Friday” was released in March 2011

There was definitely a parody music video made in college. I’m pretty sure I took my shirt off which nobody needed to see.

Planking was a thing in May 2011

Yes it was! I was in college – but I don’t recall being more innovative than doing it on the desk

The US found and killed Osama bin Laden in May 2011

I was at a Pixies concert when this was announced. Found out about it on the train ride home. That Pixies show was amazing - they played Doolittle front to back.

Vancouverites rioted when the Canucks lost the Stanley Cup finals in June 2011

I feel like I was following along on Twitter. There were many Three Days Grace jokes.

Last Harry Potter movie released in July 2011

Still haven’t seen it!

Steve Jobs dies in October 2011

I paid tribute to him on our college radio show and quoted John Lennon before playing A Perfect Circle’s cover of “Imagine” My co-hosts (RIGHTLY SO) called me out for being cheesey as heck

2012

Kony 2012 teaches us a lesson on slacktivism in March

It feels like this only lasted for a week?

People thought the world was going to end on December 21, 2012

I was more broken up about the end of Alexisonfire that month (Until 2015 anyways). And I moved to Grande Prairie right after New Years

2013

Harlem Shake trend went viral in February 2013

I somehow managed to avoid this one

2014

A Malaysia Airlines plane disappeared in March 2014

Didn’t Courtney Love think she solved this?

People did the Ice Bucket Challenge for ALS in summer 2014

We launched a bucket of ice from the roof of the radio station on to me. It was a pretty cool moment.

Robin Williams died in August 2014

I remember announcing this on air as it happened.

Spotify launched in Canada in September 2014

I was a Slacker Radio guy but as soon as Spotify launched I jumped at the opportunity.

2015

The Dress, viral internet sensation in February 2015

Couldn’t go anywhere without seeing this thing. Laurel-Hardy was another one.

Mayweather and Pacquiao “fight of the century” in May 2015

I’m pretty sure we watched this at a strip club. It was weird and I had no idea what was happening.

2016

Fort McMurray wildfire destroys community in Alberta in May 2016

Obviously I was front row centre for this one. Changed my life in so many ways.

Harambe died in May 2016

The memes! Also wore a gorilla mask at the Cincinatti Zoo in 2017 in tribute

Pokemon Go July 2016

I was a very active player in 2016 and 2017 and it gave me something to do in the aftermath of the fire and some of the dark times that followed. I barely opened it this summer.

Donald Trump elected as US president in November 2016

Yeah I was pretty mad about this at the time. Still am
