Friday Wished For, Given, Taken, and Stolen

5 things you were given

  1. A silver pocketwatch from my father -- it has my initials and the image of a fish on it
  2. A book on etiquette from my mother one Christmas -- rather embarrassing gift
  3. A home and job from Doc and Marty -- and I'll always be grateful
  4. A warm welcome from quite a lot of people in Secundus -- this city can be such a nice place
  5. A chance to actually date someone from Alice -- which is making me excited and nervous all at once



4 things you gave away

  1. My old childhood toys -- we gave them to an orphanage, at my request
  2. Penny dreadfuls to the other village boys -- it was a deal we had for a while that kept them from bullying me
  3. My old life in Burtonsville -- right from the start, I felt more at home in Secundus
  4. My heart -- to a certain beautiful young lady


3 things you wished for

  1. To learn how to play the piano -- granted, and I honestly believe it's the one time my mother has ever agreed with me on something I should do
  2. To not have to go through with my arranged marriage -- granted, though I still feel a tad guilty for being selfish there
  3. To have friends -- granted in the best way possible


2 things that were taken from you

  1. My dog Scraps -- he shouldn't have died like he did. I admit to still having the occasional nasty thought about the dog who killed him.
  2. My choice in leaving Burtonsville -- yes, I was happy to give up my life there, but I was accidentally kidnapped by my friends, rather than leaving of my own free will


and 1 thing you stole

  1. Alice's heart -- at least, that's what she says
