The simple fact is
There really ain't no inbetween
You're either up there
Or scurryin' round and lookin' lean
And when you're up there
They just can't wait to tear you down
Just like a treadmill
You find yourself goin' round and round )

Sometimes I wonder if living on the sea might not be nice maybe the lake.

[Private]
There are few comforting things these days. I find myself counting and recounting stock to keep from going mad. Perhaps I should have gotten a job that was worth doing. I want to do something worth doing but all I'm doing that's worth doing is tied to Troy and our projects. Most especially the boat.

I think I need to get back to experiments, to anything.

[Warded to Troy]
I think perhaps this is one of those times when I am supposed to know that I need a hug. I feel rather pointless.

I want you all to know-
I think-
Perhps-

I think, perhaps, I will turn my attentions to more historical and informative texts for a while. That being said, St. Mungo's has so little to do now that there are less patients. I need new volunteer work to do. Anyone need help with something?

[Warded to Tavy]
And you were so supportive of them. It makes a person wonder at your choices.

I have a present for you. I just wanted to wait till I got to see you in person to give it to you...If you think you can wait that long, perhaps we could work on the boat this weekend.

Would you give me a hug? If you haven't gotten me something, it's okay. A hug is an acceptable gift. So long as it's a good one. You have to make it count.

I can't...

This is-

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

I can't even describe this right now.

[Warded to Alexander Greengrass III]
I need to talk to you about something.

My mother is a fucking-

[Warded to Mercy]
You're- It's-

Damn it

Can we...

I need to leave my house before someone catches fire...

...Too late.

This is my cat. He is not very pretty, but he likes stealing the covers...and commandeering body heat. I want to dress him like a pirate with an eye patch

Cut for picture )

I've been reading about pirates recently. I still don't know all that much about them, but they seem very interesting. I've been told fictional pirates are very much different from real pirates...though, I suppose that's true of most fiction.

Does anyone know any historical text on pirates that I could read? On that note, does anyone know any books that contain darker themes? I'm not letting all of this change my reading choices. Light and airy books are boring.

I would say I almost got smooshed by quills in the back room, but quills actually aren't very heavy, so it didn't actually count. At any rate, it was messy. Now I sound like Troy!

[Warded to Troy]
Do you know much about muggle composers? I've been thinking that if muggle books were so interesting, perhaps muggle composers were, too.

I just can't say this were people can see.

Everything is entirely curious. The lies are rampant. I wish I could say this out loud, but I'm not endangering myself. I said I'd behave

[Warded to Alexander Greengrass III]
I heard you got a promotion. How did you come by that? I thought you were- I suppose congratulations are in order.

Are you safe?

I want you to be careful just in case. You're safe where you are...don't go out of your way to put yourself in danger.

If you need anything, let me know.

[Warded to Friends]
Are you all safe? Troy, did you get needlessly hurt?

The cat seems to have made friends with my favourite outfit. I'm not sure how I feel about this. Perhaps I will have to introduce it to some other outfits to see if it will take to one of them instead. Until such a time, I think I'm hiding this outfit somewhere very high up. Last time I put it in the closet and still he managed to get it.

[Private]
Tomorrow is my birthday. This is terribly bothersome. The birthday cake will be not be safe. Father refuses to believe that Taveon ruins it. If father weren't so predictable about where the first cut would come from, I would not have to suffer like this.

I have nothing to do. Unfortunate. Oh well, I have books. Books are safe. I should check them first, however. Taveon gets unfortunately creative around my birthday.

I have a new cat now. It is fairly ugly, but I am fond of it all the same.

[Mercy]
I am far too nice for my own good. Far too nice. I should refrain from this, I'm sure. In addition, I think I might throw something heavy at Alexander's head.

[Private]
Sometimes I just give up. I really do.

I saw a journal with a picture of a kitten. I think all of these journals with pictures of people's pets are making me wish I had one. Perhaps I will go to the pet shop and get one. It certainly can't hurt.

Kenneth! I will be at the hospital tomorrow. This means I am forcing you to eat lunch with me.

I've spent a good portion of last night with my piano. I hope no one in my house understands what those songs were expressing I really did need an escape some time with my music.

Today has been a little better, thankfully. There were a few new customers at work and I got a new book.

It could have been worse. Now I think I'm going to spend the rest of the night with my book and some tea.

[Warded to Alexander Greengrass III]
I still think you were being a jerk and there wasn't any reason for it, but I suppose it wasn't any better for me to lose my temper. I'm sorry. I still don't think you should be upset about this

I am not ten, thank you. I am twenty. If you could get your facts correct, that would be lovely. How many people do you even think believe you?

[Private]
Oh, I could hex her stupid, ugly nose off. She's a hateful, spiteful woman and I hope she falls down a million stairs. SEVERE HEAD TRAUMA IS ACCEPTABLE!

I HATE HER! And Taveon will likely find this hilarious and talk about it for weeks. I WILL NEVER HEAR THE END OF IT! I would kill her myself if I weren't so against me killing people.

[Warded to Mercy]
Can she just...fall down every stair to ever exist? Do you know a place with lots of stairs and a way to lure her there?

Taveon is going to think this is so hilariously delightful...and then I am going to want to strangle him!

[Added in later....]

Boys make no sense. All they do is talk about girls not making sense, but then they go off and act irrational as if that is perfectly acceptable and....UGH!

He's so stupid. He's supposed to be my friend. He seems to want-

I'm sorry about all this. I had a very lovely time. I hope it does not give you too much trouble.

Oh bugger. Bugger bugger bugger. What is my life? I really want to understand. Salazar knows I thought the girl was joking! No one seriously sets people up that they don't know with musicians! This doesn't- Apparently they do, however. Well, this may end up awkwardly. I don't know what to say.

Ugh.

I believe if I could truly be married to specific literature, I may in fact choose Gothic literature. It is perfect. Thank you, kind stranger with the crazy mother, for sending me in the direction of the books and authors. I will at least live up to the illusion of being forever indebted to you

Only, I suppose you might not be a complete stranger. It is just I cannot put a face to the name.

[Private]
I hope everyone continues to write Gothic literature or I might soon find myself despairing at the lack of it.

New shipment of quills came in today. If only my book would come in. No. We cannot write about that. People would ask what it was about It wasn't anything singularly important, but they are rather pretty, I suppose. It is bad that I want to test them out with blood, isn't it? I wonder how that is as an ink substitute

Apparently we even have scented ink. Why, I am still uncertain How curious.

I believe I'll be at St. Mungo's this weekend since I'm off.
