I wish for things that I don't need, and what I chase won't set me free

... it's strange how many things I've taken for granted that I missed once they were gone.

Like having a Wii in my apartment or being able to play Katamarawhatsis. Or having a little bit of noise and chaos to balance out my cleanliness and order. Having a Robodog as my alarm clock every morning. Or even having someone else's snores and sleep-talk lulling me to sleep at night. You know, that sort of thing.

But most of all... not having my best friend nearby sucked.

Life's too short, guys. Don't waste it having petty squabbles with the people you love.

The pool is fine, as is the poolside. Come join Bridge and me at the Roosevelt if you're looking to relax. Maybe even meet someone new. [[OOC: Insert map/directions here.]]

Both of us needed a mental health break very badly, so we'll be here for a few days. I've got people to cover all of my shifts, so there's no need to worry.

Mmm, these pool chairs are awfully big. There are lots of nice-looking restaurants around, too...

Honor, thank you again for the wonderful lessons in "not rushing into things I have no experience in" and "not doing something just because it looks easy". I mean that sincerely. I've been trying to reign in my temper and impulsiveness a lot more as of late, and agreeing to joust when I didn't know the first thing about jousting was a prime example of leaping before I look.

I am still quite sore from the match, however. Companion, I may have to avail myself of your skills soon.

[T-T. Yeah. Spike's going to go rage and hit things for a while and then go to Companion, because she's about the only person he wants to see right now. If he replies to anyone here, it's going to be terse, and he WILL get pissy if he feels like he's being told "stop being sad that he's gone".]

... hey, Companion? Are you available right now? I'm feeling really irritated with myself and the world and could really... use... you someone to vent to. maybe a kiss

[Strikes are still pretty visible if you look closely.]

My new pyjamas are bright red and have cowboys all over them. I also have a big plastic badge proclaiming that I'm the sheriff.

... this is so unprofessional.

Bastet, at your earliest convenience, I'd like to speak with you- I had an idea for a project concerning the Guard I want to share.

GHOST

WHAT IN THE HELL DID YOU JUST DO TO ME?!

[As per this thread in Bridge's journal, Ghost licked Spike. idefk]

Okay. First things first, I'm back to normal. No more monster, no more constant vaguely-unsettled feeling in the pit of my stomach whenever I look at myself.

Now. I'm not going to make any accusations here, I am just KINDLY asking whoever's put whoopee cushions everywhere to CUT IT OUT. It was kinda cute the first two or three times it happened, but now it's just annoying.

...how do you keep putting them exactly where I'm going to sit down, anyway?

At any rate, Bridge won't stop giggling and my cat won't come out from under my bed after he popped one by accident.

NOW THE WILDERNESS HAS A GIANT MONKEY TOSSING BARRELS AT YOU IN IT. I AM NOT EVEN KIDDING.

If anyone STILL wants to go down there in spite of that, be careful, alright? Bridge dragged me down to see if it had changed again and we nearly got bowled over by one of them. Then narrowly escaped being burned when one of them rolled into a can of burning oil and caught on fire, then came to life and chased us (no, I have no idea how that works, either). It seems you can jump over them, though... and we saw hammers, but weren't able to reach one.

... can we bring Vegas back?

LOOK. Despite what my roommate might think, my sexual preferences are nobody's business.

SO DON'T. ASK.

Just thought you all should know.
