Involuntary RPG Journal Entries

I've downloaded an app that will chime the hour and procured a bag of grapes if anyone wants to join me at midnight. Assuming we aren't all asleep, of course. But 2013 could use some good wishes, I think. (One for each chime, for those of you who aren't familiar.)

It's nice to have traditions that don't rely on champagne and a plus one, I have to say - gives room to observe the passing of the year without having to be particularly 'celebratory'.

I'll also be burning a list of everything awful that's happened this year if I can find enough paper. Superstitious, maybe, but comforting all the same. I don't know if I really believe in expelling all the negative energy, but it can't hurt. Neither can the other half: giving thanks for all the good things that have happened in 2012.

Chief among the positive, I'm grateful to have come to know such incredible people that I never would have met otherwise. There is a lot not to like about the IVF and their institute, but I can't ignore that I would have never gotten to know my classmates, teammates, and friends otherwise.

[Peacocks, Space Crew, Dani, Ivan, Raphael, Javier... lol Cati has no friends, oops]
That goes especially for you. Feliz año nuevo, mis amigos. May this one be better than the last.

Is anyone else awake right now?

I cannot sleep.

There are ghosts on the ship. Of the former crew, who died. Killed by the aliens. Some are in my quarters.

One will not stop laughing. She just keeps laughing and laughing. On and on and on.
