I made a list of stuff I wanted to do that I couldn't do in Lawrence for one reason or another...I think I'm doing pretty good so far. I still miss my friends from there, but I think I'm gonna like it here, actually, after all. :)

Annie said there's an ocean near, I think...? That's on my list but I haven't done it yet. Which way and how far? I wanna go see it. I haven't seen the ocean since

[Nate & Gale]
Still doing okay...?

[Rach]
I stink at these watercolors :( Help?

Because this is apparently necessary.

There are those here who have ended up in the bodies of acquaintances of mine. Which means that you’re suddenly in possession of new abilities that you might find difficult to control. I would like to offer my assistance. I never wanted another Padawan and now I have Consider it a class on the basics of the Force, to try and give you some element of control for however long this switch lasts.



[FILTERED TO ANAKIN]

I swear to the Force that if you don't sit in on this 'class' I will hunt you down and hang you from your heels out a window.

This ability to simply know how electronics work simply by holding them is bloody brilliant. Highly fascinating, I must say! I must take notes so I am able to retain this knowledge as much as possible once I am back in my own body.

The Force as a whole is still quite the oddity, however. Let us hope I do not accidentally cause something to happen while teaching Anakin's classes.

I wanna do all the things today! I want tea and watercolors and to start learning again to swim with legs. And I want to do more gushing and see what Quidditch is, because I really think I already know but I can't remember. Oh, and anything else, I should learn about this place, too. You know who you are...are any of you free?

[Nate]
If you're still stuck in Rachel's body...do you need anything?

As much as I can appreciate the use of tall, dark, and handsome, this shit ain't for me.

I seem to have been forced to adopt this face. It's a nice face, don't get me wrong, but I'd like to know who it actually belongs to.

Would anybody want to come with me to the beach this weekend? I tried going to the castle pool today, but I don't really like it. It's a nice pool, I mean. But the chemicals in the water, and it's so confined... I just, I need the openness of the ocean. And it could be more fun with company.

I'm getting lists together of stuff for Thursday. The hardest one is music playlists; I've got a bunch of my favorites ready, but send me suggestions! Nothing sad, please.


[Private to TWD crew, plus Ickle Daryl and Ickle Rick]

Just letting you guys know.
Katniss is moving in with me. Her roommate got sent back and I offered.

Johanna is gone.

Walking around the lake today, we found this little clearing right in the middle of the trees, completely blanketed with these little yellow-orange flowers. I don't even know what they are, but they smell like honey. ( Aren't they pretty? )

[Filtered to Rick and Daryl]
Isn't there a picnic area on the lake somewhere that'd be good for the party? I looked but I might've missed it.

[Filtered to Gale and Katniss]
Don't make any plans for Thursday. It was a big holiday for my people. man that still sounds weird We're making a big deal and having a big summer party.

Anybody interested to a day at the lake? I'm taking Alex with me, I think that a little time off from my job right now is what I need. All that paperwork is starting to stress me out. I figure a little fishing, a picnic, and lots of fun. Just let me know!

I have enough to get a new swimsuit. Who wants to make a trip downtown with me?

[Filtered to Gale]
What are you up to later? I need to escape from the soap-opera characters I live with for a while.

[Filtered to Hermione]
It's gorgeous out and you need a tan. Bring your books to the pool with me tomorrow?

Can I just say that even though there is no electricity that I'm still having to work? Having to hold a flashlight in one hand and doing things by hand stinks.

I'm thinking about calling it a day though here at the law office. Does anybody need anything? Is there anything that I can do to help?

I met a tall, strong, sweet-as-pie brunette today. Already had him eating from the palm of my hand. I think I'm in love.

( Isn't he handsome? )

I went a little crazy making home made pizza the other night. I put a whole bunch in your rooms. It's the weird shaped foil-wrapped thinger sitting on your door knobs (or at the foot of your door if it fell).

Good news: found a job I'll really like. Bad news: found out I was already here. More bad news: I don't even know how to process this

I start Wednesday. Anyone up for pizza? I haven't had pizza in ages.

( Filtered to Rick )

( Filtered to Gale )

So. I guess I should start looking for a job. That still sounds weird when I say it.

*Edit!*
Is there a place to go swimming around here?


( Filtered to Daryl )

Oh. My. Lord.

My own bathroom with CLEAN AND HOT WATER.

I feel terrible for not doing this earlier. But I really wanted to thank you for watching Alexander. I hope that he wasn't too much trouble for you or anything. You were a real life saver that night by the way. So whenever you are free, dinner is on me as a thank you for being such a good friend.

I never really knew life could be so... normal. I think I'm bored. That's not exactly a thing you could say back home.

Does anybody want to come fishing? Or, I don't know what else there is to do for fun?

[Filtered to Gale, Katniss, & Johanna]

Just wanted to see everybody's... all right? As all right as we can be, at least.

Okay this might sound a little bit weird...but with summer coming and everything. I was wondering if there were any good places to go camping? Or perhaps anywhere that would seem as if we could get a vacation here without actually leaving? I like this place and all, but, sometimes its good to just get away from everything for a little bit. I know we can't actually leave, but going somewhere away from the castle seems nice.

I've told a few people, but I got an Architect I job again. I started today and, I have to say, it's really nice to be back to work.

I do miss having some friends her Readjusting to leaving, coming back and leaving again, then coming back and only remembering the first time is proving a little mind-bending, but tolerably so. It's no more weird than some of the other things that happen around here.

The one thing that really is proving odd to adjust to is the lack of a pet around, even if it had been a shared pet before. Does anyone know of anyone with any pets, unplanned puppies or kittens, they're trying to get rid of? I'm going to go to the shelter in the next day or two, if not, but I know sometimes people at work had pets with unplanned puppy or kitten litters so I thought I may as well ask here first.
