Is that....a CLOCK?

It is! Isn't it incredible?

It IS! Or kinda creepy. Can you imagine, waking up to glowing red eyes every morning?

Beethoven is never creepy. His eyes aren't glowing, they are merely numbers, which I understand are customary for a clock.

They are. But...well when you wake up to a creepy ass puppet everyday red eyes get to you.

Is the puppet necessary?

Ooooh my GOSH! Schroeder! Hee! That is so cute! :D

Judging by the note left on top of the sunglasses, it's from Rerun.

Aww. Well, that's really sweet. ...Right?

Well, we still aren't speaking to each other but... you're right. He left me this yesterday, another gift the day before, and something today.

Really? Wow!

It's a really cool present, anyway. :) I didn't even know they made Beethoven clocks!

I love the gifts, but it would be nice for us to be alright-alright. Pretending as if nothing was wrong before didn't solve anything.

Apparently they do. I like it.

Yes, I can see your point.

That's good. :)

Hah! That's really cool.

Isn't it? You don't think it's scary do you?

I think it's kind of amazing. Very unique and a cool gift to find waiting for you. :D

I agree with your assessment, yet considering my affinity for Beethoven, I'm not sure how unique it makes me to acquire something else for my collection.

You mean... it's not as thoughtful/extraordinary as I would've originally assumed, seeing as your Beethoven admiration is well known? Well, I still think the gift itself -- a Beethoven bust wearing clock-sunglasses!! -- is unprecedented and therefore awesome!

I don't want to seem ungrateful. I think the bust is fantastic. What I'm saying is that I'm starting to acquire quite the collection. I don't want to become the equal of a cat lady.

Oh! Haha, I know what you mean. When I was a little girl, I was really self conscious about my red hair, so my parents always ALWAYS bought me redhaired dolls. I had literally three dozen of them at one point. Not exactly the same thing, but close. Once people know you like/want one particular type of item, they might tend to fall back on that when it comes to gifts.

I don't think this was a case of "falling back on" anything. This was a gift from a friend who knows me better than anyone else. He understands what I'd like, regardless of any complaints. Nothing in my Beethoven collection as of yet tells time or wears sunglasses.

As for the dolls, you said you were self conscious but you never said if you liked them. Did you?

Well, I'm glad you like the gift, then. I think it's certainly neat. Is it an alarm clock? If so, does it play Beethoven for the alarm?

I liked the dolls alright. It got to the point where the bright red plastic locks were the norm in our household, which meant that my one brunette doll was prized simply because she was different. Which, of course!, my parents interpreted as meaning I wasn't happy with my red hair, which led to more redheaded cabbage patch dolls.

Yes! It plays Fur Elise!

Haha, you had a Ginger Farm. Where were the blondes in all of this? Such mistreatment of my people.

Aww, perfect. A nice tune to wake up to.

I so did! Never thought about it like that, but I suppose so. I had a few blonde dolls, but I remember coloring their hair green, haha! Or chopping it all off. I'm sorry!

You would rather have unnatural colors than blonde? Oh my shallow sense of value that was tied up entirely in my appearance has flown out the window. What am I to do?
