I'm gonna fly so high..

I've gotten a great deal of work done in record time. Everything in general seems to be in good order around here, surprisingly. Maybe I've just been getting a little too paranoid lately? I can't quite figure it out. It could have been something I ate that threw me off, or accidentally falling asleep to infomercials instead of my preferred channel. I have Max to blame for the latter, since he's the one who stepped on the remote. Maybe he's trying to tell me something.

Anyway, Honey, I'm glad we caught up after I missed your call the other day. I was so wrapped up that I didn't realize until it was too late. Though I'm still impressed with how stealthy you were when you got into my quad earlier. Are you sure you can't pick locks?

Is there to no end to anguish? Do we sit back to allow others to suffer, or do we find a way to help them? We offer our lively hoods, and even our souls are at steak the moment we begin to reach other and provid assistance - whether it's by product, or by charity.

Perhaps I am worrying too much. The winter tends to make me think more heavily on things I have done, or things I did not do.

It is business as usual I suppose. With the hibernation of certain trees, or the death of plants and vegetation until the spring, it becomes increasingly difficult to not ponder what is left to enjoy.

Though as a business man, myself, I expect to see the holiday sales draw in large crowds. I suppose I could say it warms my heart to see a business flourish this time of year. There is an essay in that somewhere. I do believe that will be the final essay of the year once I am able to sit down and write out the assignment.

… How did December arrive so quickly?

I’m not certain that I like how quickly it came upon us, but alas, I can’t do a thing about it. Ema, there are a few messages here on the quad machine for you from your sister, among others. I’m going to take the night off so that we can discuss a few things, work out kinks in planning, watch the baby of course.

He’s certainly enjoying the coffee table, at least. Glad it’s not a rectangular shaped one. At least I know he’s got strong enough legs to lift himself up right n — oh. Well, falling onto the rump isn’t a big deal. He’ll just have to try again.

Ema, how do pork spring rolls, rice and steamed fish sound for dinner?

Friends.

What a joke.

I'VE HAD IT. I'M TIRED OF WALKING INTO STARBUCKS AND THEM GETTING MY DRINK WRONG EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. All it is, is a simple grande, iced, quad shot, carmel sauce, soy, with whip, latte. Okay sure I mean it's a bit complicated BUT I WAS TALKING SLOW. IF I HAVE TO TREAT THE BARISTA LIKE THEY ARE DUMB I WILL.

And that's just the tip of the iceburg? Why do things go wrong so close to finals?! I don't have time for this. I have work to do and an essay to write and I hate running errands.

And those damn Xiaolin Monks keep getting in my way. If this keeps up Wuya is going to have my head and torment me in my sleep. Somedays I just hate her. ...well all days I hate her. She already betrayed me once.

I'm going to go work on some robots.

December 19th, I can handle that! My music teacher said that this year I have two solos plus the choir songs. That’s alright with me; I already know how to sing the solos after all! It Came Upon A Midnight Clear and I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day, I don’t think I sang them in the choir before, but I do remember them. Maybe Papa taught them to me? I don’t know… I’m just looking forward to the end of it when we get to sing Feliz Navidad really loud for everyone.

I think I need to study my math more, though. This is the first time I didn’t get a good grade in it… I’m not very good with numbers, I guess… it was almost a D. I think I almost cried… I’ll just work harder at it and be smart like everyone else in no time!

I suddenly have the urge to clean like a maniac.

Shurelia, Jack, don't mind Angelo and Vesna in the living room. They're very friendly and won't bite. I just need them there for a bit while I suddenly clean my room from the ceiling to the floor.

Who: Cecil, Edge, Kain and... pfffft. Whoever else wants to spectate or join in really. XD
What: Snowball fight of doom!
Where: Somewhere out on campus.
When: After THIS conversation!
Warning(s): LOL. No idea. :D

( It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye! )

SNOW! There's snow outside!

[ooc: Cue Cecil running outside to go play in the stuff. ;D]

This. Isn't. Funny. AT ALL! The next time I see that dog Croix I'm going to properly train him in the discernment of picking out actual Gergo merchandise to send to me! How dare he send me this impostor Geugo! I'll bet he did it on purpose!

...I must have been really tired. I don't remember the last time I slept that long. Of course, I'm not exactly proud of that, I do have a job to do. The Dive Coordinator is probably worried about me.

...ah... I have funbuns and kitty candy with me too? I don't even remember getting them before I left Platina. I think at this point, it's probably a wonder I even got back here without getting lost on my way.

...ok, seriously? Seriously? I'm not even-- NO. NO. NOT. GOING.

[Here, have an accidental video recording from Cecil's web cam. :P]


[Cecil is standing in one corner of his room with his back to his computer, and he's wrapped up in doing.. something. Whatever that 'something' is, it's enough of a distraction that he doesn't notice his web cam is on. A few seconds tick by, and he then steps back and ties his hair back rather messily. Thankfully it's not bubblegum pink anymore... for the most part. He moves aside now to pick up something from the floor. There is an easel in front of him, and now that he's not blocking it, a canvas can clearly be seen. It is most definitely not blank.]

( Just a few splatters of paint, really. )

[Gathering up several paint brushes, Cecil looks over his artwork, and makes several comments aloud to himself.]

Painting is very messy. I do like the way this turned out though. I should find a frame for it as soon as it dries.

[He appears to be thinking quite deeply to himself. Then, as he turns around and comes back to his computer, he murmurs something else under his breath.]

I wonder if she would like it...-- Oh no. Is this thing on?!

[Frowning, Cecil reaches over to fiddle with something, and then the video cuts out abruptly.]

Much better. That was almost as fun as some of the fights I participated in before my career switch. It says something that I can be satisfied with only doing what I did a few times. Maybe I've matured? <3

I'm going to celebrate with a bath, and then a flight. I should enjoy the moon while it's full.

[No, she's not talking about sex. Or is she? :V No, srsly, she isn't. For once.]

Who: Claire Redfield [&] Jack Ryan
What: 20 questions
Where: Training Area where Jack works.
When: This afternoon, not too long after this conversation.
Warning(s): Possibly language.

( This wasn't going to be easy. )

...Huh. Weird, that should've alerted me sooner. Anyway, it looks like I've got a lot more work to do than I realized. If I'm not out in 15 hours, wait longer.

Ha! Bet you all thought I would put something here like ‘boy I sure am stuffed’, well GUESS WHAT? I’m not! Actually I don’t think that I’ve ever even been stuffed with food before, but that’s fine because there just so happens to be a number of leftovers I think that I can eat and attempt to stuff myself with! Mwuahaha! Let the consumption commence!

…and maybe later if I remember I’ll get on that homework and junk that I have left to do.
We’ll see, after all, homework is kind of boring.

I guess I kind of forgot about homework because of all the days off from classes for the holiday. At least I remembered to get to it now! The dinner with mama, Mystic Maya, Miss Maron and Mister Yuri was really yummy and I had a lot of fun baking the pies with mama too! I guess I had a lot to be thankful for this year and I hope that everyone else had a really good holiday meal too!

But now I should get back to this English work, I love dioramas!

Thanks for the Thanksgiving meal, Dr T. I mean, sort of. For whatever of it I ate in that short time. [deleted] Your girls are really good cookie decorators, all very sweet. I think my girls had a really nice time, sorry to cut it off short, I just…

Thanks again.





I should get to work.

There's going to be a SentaiCon hosted in town! Huh. I thought those were only popular in Japan, but I guess not? It's starting tommorrow, and tickets are on sale! (Why wouldn't they be? ^^;). I'll have to buy one.

edit: [ooc: Like 5 minutes later, give or take here] Hm? Well, I don't really like the idea of standing outside, but..
