Author's Note:
First, I want to apologize for taking so long to write Margo's responses to you guys--as I'll be posting on Desperate Sims soon, I have been working on a LOT of projects that's kept me very engrossed, which has made me pretty miserable at keeping up with the dialogue between reader/character on this blog--which was the whole point.
I am going to make a very motivated attempt to respond quicker in the future, as well as think about more questions I would like you guys to vote on. I have a couple for down the road, but nothing pressing atm--I'd like to change that, to give you more ways to influence Margo's life.
As well--I'd like to leave an open note for you guys to suggest topics you'd like Margo to cover, or even make suggestions for things she should do. I cannot promise I will do all of them (clearly, telling Margo to go out and kiss Ian is not going to happen, haha), but , for example: Chrysame suggested at one point that Margo write a letter to Brad to tell him how she feels, and I REALLY loved that suggestion, so once I find a good time to do it, I'll write a brief post about it. :)
Thank you guys for being such amazing readers--I feel so privileged to have your support. ♥
I will be writing a new post about Margo's first day working at the Horse Ranch very soon--but in the meantime, I wanted to share with the readers of this blog the various questions/responses Margo has done on the Tumblr extension of this blog.
Cheers!

hi yadira!
aw, you are sooo sweet!! T___T i swear sometimes i think i might be a little crazy for tryin, but i have a couple great friends who are super sopportive. don’t worry, if i can find friends, im sure youll find some in your new town, too!
ive never moved before, and im so glad—it sounds tough. :( dont worry about what some of them say, tho. i dont take my own advice much, but you sound much more sure of yourself then i am, so: just be yourself and ignore them! you sound so confident, i bet someday youll be a star. you def. dont need their approval to shine!!
yours truly,
margo
x///////x yeah, youre probably right. i dont think ive said more than two sentences to him my entire life! i hope someday i get the courage to, but stalking him probably isnt going to make that happen… *sigh*
if i do join the newspaper, hopefully kenzie is enough to keep daisy from bothering me. but i think youre def right about one thing—i shouldnt let her stand in the way of something i will probably love.
thanks for your input, susie!
yours truly,
margo
i dunno about makin my teeth look awesome (though i love that theyre purple!), but im glad im not the only one!! i cant wait for these things to come off, lemme tell you…
thank you though, anon! i feel a little bit better about em! (i think) i hope yours get to come off soon, tho! then we can have big smiles together :D
yours truly,
margo
well… i dunno about that, anon. mum says beautys in the eye of the beholder, so you might just have bad vision, but i really am not all that smart. i got a D on my first math test, and i studied the whole night before and havent gotten much better since.
it is very sweet of you to say so, tho—i know you mean the best.
i keep trying to tell myself being unique means something, but its hard to feel special when you cant do anything rite. at this rat, id rather just ignore them then try to prove them wrong… nobody lissens to me anyways—except for V & K of course! i dunno where id be without them.
thank you tho, anon. ill try to hope that someday i feel the same way you do… maybe once this is all beinhd me. just hard to make lemonade out of life-lemons when you dont have sugar, ya know?
yours truly,
margo
(ps—sorry it took so long to respond to this… kory hid my camera so i havent been able to take any pictures for days!! UGH she is such a brat.)
and you are crazy!
i am so far form perfect, but if you beleive it, maybe i will too someday. most of the things getting me down lately arent really me, tho… ive sort of come to terms with being a loser. its mainly… everbody else, lol!
come convince all teh kids at school im perfect, and im totally willing to stop bein a downer. ;)
thanks for believin in me, tho. ♥
yours truly,
margo
hi, mrs chiffon!!!
yep, i remember your advice—and you were totally right! of course, finding out opened up a whole other can of worms, but i dunno if id have given him a chance if you didn’t make me think there might be something there. thank you for that! ♥ (even though it didnt really go anywhere, haha… hes no prince charming)
my dad tries to tell me the same thing about ‘book smarts’ vs ‘street smarts’, and i think i kinda get it, but every time i try to think with my head instead of my heart i just get confused. is that a bad thing? i dunno. mum says it makes me a good person, but being good wont pay the bills someday when i gotta. xD
x///x thank you! i mean, maybe ill be real pretty once my pimples go away and my braces come off… and dad buys me a nose job… and someone brushes all the knots outta my hair… heh heh…
ive always been nervous about my photos, but veronica is a good teacher and i think its starting to show. you are so nice, mrs waterlily!
i hope your familys doing well!! oh and mum says hi. :3
yours truly,
margo ♥
aw, susie! that is such a sweet thing to say!! (scabby thinks so, too.)
i would love to be your friend, but i admit im not always the best one myself… ive let down my own friends down a few times. but, they keep coming back, for some reason.
im surprised i make you smile, im not really very funny or cute or whatever, but thank you!! you really are the best.
yours truly,
margo
ya know, thats a good question… i took it with me to the beach during the fireworks show, and i was gonna give it to him, but i never got a chance to.
i dont remember seeing it when it got home, tho—it must have fallen out of my pocket on the bike ride home, i guess.
sucks, but it wouldve been wasted on him, anyways. :(
you mean you dont see the big ol beak eating my face? he he. ^^
i know beauty is ‘in the eye of the beholder’, but sometimes, itd be nice to be the girl that turns heads, not a record holding miss congeniality, ya know? i think im coming to terms with how i look, and im… okay with it… but right now, its hard to be confident no matter what i look like. if i looked perfect… maybe it wouldnt be so hard. @_@
thank you, though!! ♥ maybe you could come teach the boys at my school a thing or two. would be nice if i could shrug the nickname ‘maxwell klinger’.
yours truly
margo
x///x you are too sweet!! doing this still feels really weird, but its a great diversion from… life. ugh.
still got lots of vacation pictures to sort through, but you can bet yur bonnet therell be more! (such as this one, with my cousin sallys bird, bobo… who immediately pooped on my arm after this shot. fab-ulous.)
thank you so much for following! im glad you like it!! ♥ xoxo
yours truly,
margo
… um… thanks…? ://)
(youre definitely never getting a picture of that… just so ya know…)
well, definitely not this vacation…
… for me, anyways.
i honestly am not sure theres any love in my future. i havent given up hope, but, the only boys that know i exist think im hideous. i thought i might meet some stud at the beach or something, but well… gracie always stole the spotlight. :(
story of my life.
wow, thank you! sure youre reading the right blog…? (kory sure thinks you arent, haha.)
i can definitely post more school pictures! weve just been on holidays, so all of the recent pics i have are from my trip to barnacle bay, but i start school again on monday. ill try to sneak my camera into class! ill have to be careful though, mr hobbs doesnt like having his picture taken very much. ;)
thanks for stoppin by! ♥
yours truly,
margo
heeee—well, i told her… and it did not go over well.
i tried to take a picture of her reaction, but she stole the camera and ran off with it, again. oh well, it was worth it!
but, so i actually leave you with something, heres an amazing picture i got of kory after we finished unpacking at my uncles house:
perfect, right? ;)
yours truly,
margo
hey darcy!!
wow, this is such a shocker. o___o i knew gramma mere’s art was popular, but i had no idea that someone she knew from so long ago would still remember her! that is so crazy!! (your art teacher must be a seriousdinosaur though, hahaha!)
unfortunately, our whole family doesnt really get together very often, so i dont have many pictures of all of us—the last time we did was at my aunt amelias wedding. as you can see though, “that meredith” has quite a big family, now!
(click here for bigger) — gramma mere is the only white hair lady, of course; im the little scrub with the goofy headband on the bottom left.
even though shes gone a little batty recently, her memory is as sharp as a tack. i told her that her old teacher still talked about her all the time, and she was tickled pink! i havent seen her smile that big in a long time. she said she hasnt even thought about riverview in many years, but itll always be ‘home’ to her.
since im sure your teacher might be curious: my gramma definitely still paints!
in fact, she owns her own art studio, ‘the blue bottega’. shes become quite the teacher herself, even if she never could get me to understand color patettes… or whatever theyre called.
i hope getting to see her old students success through you will help her grow closer with you. i totally get what you mean… all of us live in the shadow of gramma meres talent. at school, my teachers hear my last name is ‘kane’ and automatically begin rambling about her or my dad… and its hard, sometimes. :(
but, just remember to be yourself. if you pour your heart into your art, im sure your teacher will learn to love both you and your style! all you have to do is prove yourself and your dedication. maybe seeing gramma mere again will help her see whats right in front of her face!
we had to dig through a huge stack of boxes to find these, but she wanted my to show some pictures of her work back when she lived in riverview. (man, she was so young, then!)
gramma mere says: even if your teacher doesnt see your talent now, art isnt about what other people think, its about what you think! dont worry about getting her to like you. worry about finding out who you are and expressing it the best you can.
i hope we both can master that, someday!
yours truly,
margo
he he he, im glad your plan worked! ♥ bet she knows how dedicated you are, now!
ill be sure to let you know if im ever headed that way—and you know youre always welcome at the bottega if you ever drop in twinbrook, too.
hope those technique classes end up helping you more than my grammas encouragement has helped me, lol. x__x
yours truly,
margo
hey, hylia! ♥
dont you worry—ive been so crazy busy the last few weeks i probably wouldnt have been able to write you anyways! i just got back from my trip to barnacle bay a little bit ago, i feel like im still washing the sand from between my toes. it was a great vacation and i was sad to see it end, but it feels good to be home again.
i really hope your move went smoothly, im interested to hear about your new home! i bet movings stressful (i have no idea, ive been in twinbrook my whole life), but hopefully it ends up working out for the best.
take all the time ya need tho, make sure you get all settled in before worrying about me! ♥ good luck!
yours truly,
margo
you heard about that, huh? man, words gets around fast in this town, lol… cant keep anything a secret. x////x
was probably more stupid than brave, tho. and… i honestly dont kno if it was worth it. i dont think he wants anyones help. im not even really sure what it is he needs, but i hope he finds it someday. i just wish there was something i could do, because… i just dont like seeing him so angry all the time.
but… i wouldnt say hes important to me… thats like saying my acne is important to me because i smother it with cream every night. :P
thank you, tho! i guess if its one good quality i have, its that i never lose faith in anyone. ♥
yours truly,
margo
well, i must be a loser too, because yes, i do love harry potter! i used to have my dad read them to me as i fell asleep, when i was little—and i still have movie marathons with my friends to watch all 8 in one day!
youd be in great company with my friends (theyre both total ravenclaws), so thats really cool!
me? well, id be in hufflepuff. (go badgers!) im definitely not brave, not very ambitious, not very smart… i hate to think of hufflepuff as the ‘leftover’ house, but sometimes you figure it out by exclusion.
my friends always say im the most loyal person they know, tho, so maybe hufflepuff is the right fit—but i guess ill never know, until i finally get my acceptance letter to hogwarts! until then, ill keep gathering up huffle-memorbillia til its comin out my ears.
im amazed you admire me at all, but i guess we have something in common! we can check our mail waiting for our owls, together. C=
yours truly,
margo
hi ginny!
haha, well, you dont need to have an excuse to write to me—its nice to hear from ya anyways!
ooooh, on your school newspaper too? thats really cool! i hope your time on it is better than mine, tho. daisy (this really pratty girl in my class) is already makin my life miserable, but we should be writing our first articles soon so im pretty excited.
you have a good night, too! if you ever think of anythin else, youre always free to write. ta! ♥
margo
… oh man. well, i got a bit of a message from sophie the other day saying she had to take the computer away from ian to write this comment, but—what if—you dont think ian was actually reading it, do you?
… that is a really, really disturbing thought.
better him than josh, though—if josh showed his girlfriend some of the things ive said about him… i may as well stick my head in an oven and get it overwith.
oh well, i guess i cant spend too much time fretting, otherwise ill never get the courage to write anything!! and i might go insane without it. so for now, lets just assume they dont!! x___x
yours truly,
the very-very paranoid margo…
