bright light city

Now this is more like it.

It's not so bad here. I have some new friends and dad has a great car that I am going to get to drive. Yes, that's right, it's a convertible. I'm taking that to school. I still have a whole summer until that starts again.

Mom, are we getting together sometime soon.

Anyone up for a video game night - AGAIN!

I...I think it worked! It bloody worked!

Though I don't remember it being Las Vegas the last time.

Jack, you there, brother?

FILTERED TO LOST PEOPLE; MINUS CLAIRE LITTLETON, MAN IN BLACK, BEN LINUS, AND ETHAN ROM:

I know this is a bit of a rush, but seeing as we didn't really have that much time to figure things out, this was the fastest way to communicate with everyone. I'm not sure who Claire knows here, so if anyone knows, I'd appreciate it. I'd love to add them to this filter.

Claire never got to have a baby shower, so Jack had the idea that we should throw her one at his new place. It's not completely furnished yet, but we're working on it. By Saturday we should have all the comforts for the party - including pool-side furniture - so it should be comfortable. I was thinking about one pm on Saturday, June 5th.

FILTERED TO CLAIRE LITTLETON:

You got plans tonight?

If I've traded one prison for another, then at least this prison has movie premieres and restaurants that don't cater exclusively into crispy boar. I'm also pretty damn happy that scavenged rags aren't a mandatory dress code.

Filtered to Kate, Sawyer, Hurley, Sayid, Ana Lucia, Claire, Charlie & Jacob:

I don't know if all of you saw, so I'll sum it up for you: I agreed to Ethan's terms. Call me crazy, I don't care. Something needs to be done about him before he tries to go after Kate or Claire or someone else. If any of you have any better ideas to get him to back off, let's hear it. If not, I could use some back-up on Thursday.

Bloody hell, not again.

I've been here awhile but I don't actually know any of you that well. I suggest a pool party on the roof to fix that.

dude.

In the last few days, I've learned we now have a black President, that the Boston Red Sox have won two Championships since 2004 and I haven't seen either, that Congress finally passed legislation to reform health care, and that Pluto is no longer considered a planet. I analyzed my own MRI and CT results. I bought an Audi, something called a Wii, got a massage (highly recommended, by the way), took a swim in the pool upstairs and gambled away more money than I've ever seen in my entire life.

There's a lesson to be learned here about money not buying happiness, isn't there? Didn't have to bring me here for that.

Okay what the heck is a 'badonkadonk' and should I be offended or amused by the word?

Hey Castle, you getting any new book ideas? Maybe a replacement for Nikki Heat?

I may have gone a liiiitle overboard with the spending in the last few days. But at the time, all this stuff seemed important. I've never seen this much money..and now I remember why I don't like it. it turns people into giant materialistic douche b I lost focus. I've been reading about Zenner, going through back logs on this computer thing. Where's Angela when I need her and I've got a few questions. I'm Special Agent Booth with the FBI. Has anyone actually met the guys behind all the stuff? A few of you have tried to leave but ended back here, anyway? What's that about?

and is Superman here, because really that would just be aweso

Okay so I've gone to the local high school for a week or so now and nothing's gone wrong so far. I'm just lucky Lilly's there to keep me from doing anything too embarrassing.

The thing is I haven't really gotten many supplies of my own. I was going to get all of that, but is there anything other than the general paper, pens, backpack, etc., that I should get? I could use advice. This is my first time in a real school.
