[ OOC: If you have a character that wouldn't ordinarily seek advice from a stranger, or seek advice at all, but you want them to tag into this? The Rift will have messed with the journal networks once again, making people that much more susceptible to sharing their feelings and airing their dirty laundry. If you would like them to. This is not obligatory. Also, keep in mind--if your character didn't lock the question to Phoebe, anyone at all could read and be at risk of others intercepting. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. ]

It has come to my attention that it has been forever since I last posted an advice column-y entry, which is just wrong. Blasphemy, if you ask me. You missed me, right? I know you did! I'm still around, though! And still definitely have all of your pressing answers.

Okay, not all of them.

But I've got some, and everyone needs a little guidance every now and then. There's always something going on in our lives, especially in Chicago, and there's no reason you need to bear the brunt of it alone.

Have no shame with me. Seriously, I'm shameless. Questions of the heart are my favorite, though!

Also, if a question is public and someone would like to give advice themselves, feel free to. SHARING IS CARING.

It's 'Ask Phoebe' time, if you've got one! Lock the question to me and me alone if you'd rather, and I'll try to be your very own personal life guru! The last few entries went well, so let's see what y'all bring about this time, shall we?

If you'd rather I not know your name you can also shoot me an email from a secret email account or whatever at holymagnadoodles@gmail.com.

Come on, Chicago! Help me help you. ;)

I know we've been pretty lax with the Army sessions lately.

But I'm having one tonight. Same time, same place at the Tower. Anyone that wants in, is in.

If you guys need anything or have questions, let me know and I'll try to help as best I can.

For the most part--and I know this is hard--but don't lose hope and don't freak out. That's what they want. We'll get through this and we're all working on it, okay?

I have all the alcohol ready for us whenever it's needed. Just fyi.

Phoebe is leaning against a wall, eating a hot dog, listening to her i-pod.

She's rocking out to Billie Jean, for your information.

One would think someone like her would be fond of Miley Cyrus and the like, but no. Phoebe can appreciate the classics.

And so, she is leaning against a wall, humming to herself.

Yes, she is leaning against that wall. The wall that blonde guy was being gross on and all but staking claim on. See, this is Phoebe's wall. She always hangs out here. Unless guys are being gross on it, apparently. She is not going to let anyone take her wall away.

No one be messing with her now.

[ooc: in reference to this plotting post. :3]

OKAY.

WHO WAS IT?

COME FORWARD NOW OR PREPARE TO FACE MY UNSPEAKABLY FEARSOME WRATH.

WHO TOOK MY PRETTY NECKLACE? I WILL SEARCH EACH AND EVERY ROOM UNTIL I FIND MY NECKLACE.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for the pink scarf, Iris!

It's gorgeous and I'll totally wear it today. Hope you're having happy holidays.

Oh! And I met your ward. You're right, he's pretty awesome. :)

Love,
Phoebe

[Shortly after this thread.]

I miss you, Jo.

I miss you, Peter.

I miss you, Martin.

I miss you, Rogue.

I miss you, Tomei.

I miss you.

[Locked to Iris Fortner]

So, I hear you've met my ward. The man in the Hello Kitty costume.

You all right there? If you need anything, let me know.

[tentatively fearfully respectfullyLocked to Dmitri]

So, what are the chances of you not feeding my ward Jack Harkness his own liver?

I'm nineteen today.



Weird.

Hey, Chicago! How ya doing? This is Phoebe Donovan, coming to you live from my room at the Kashtta Tower! I've got an appletini, a rom-com or two, and all of your pressing answers! Okay, not all of them. But some.

Have you ever wanted to write to an advice column and felt kind of silly for contemplating the thought?

Ever been in love and not known what to do about it or how to tell them?

Ever wondered if there was someone you could go to in anonymity to ask questions you wouldn't ask people you know? Have questions that include the topics ranging from sex and love to rock and roll? THEN I'M TOTALLY YOUR GAL.

ASK NOW.

That's right. Ask me a question, lock it if you'd rather, and I'll try to be your very own personal guru! I can be very helpful. Unless you're my ward. :( ... :D

If you'd rather I not know your name you can also shoot me an email from a secret email account or whatever at holymagnadoodles@gmail.com.

No, really guys. Ask me a question. I'm bored. :(

[ooc: I cannot ensure her advice will be helpful :|]

[OOC: Relating to this thread.]

So.

I met Ianto!

I think he saw my butt. Not that he meant to.

...Yeah.
