And, now it looks like Killian's gone too.

This mass exodus via seal is getting on my nerves.

You guys are all still here right?

Well, finally got a car of my own now. Really like it. And quite fast. I like fast. When I drive, kinda feel like I'm in one of those Fast & Furious movies, or that Nic Cage movie Gone In 60 Seconds. Except with this car, I didn't have to steal it So if anyone in Greaves House or elsewhere in Lawrence ever needs a lift, or to carpool, or needs a designated driver to pick you up and drop off in emergencies, let me know and I'll help with that. Other stuff I got myself.. hm. Oh, I went looking around in a couple martial arts stores, pawn shops, flea markets and such. And found this beautiful piece. And this as well.

Christmas Week, though. The last few days. I remember last year at this time. This date. We had won the battle. I remember going in, knowing there was a chance I could die, that I won't come back from it. And.. I'd accepted it. Winning and living to tell it was always preferred though So long as it meant the ultimate crisis was averted and Lucifer stopped, I was fine with my fate. Can't say I didn't like giving in to that dangerous side of me to fight the others threats there, almost better than the hunts But.. well, something had happened I didn't expect, falling down into another realm. The Cage. Fifty years. I won't go into details of that since I know the wounds may still linger for others who went through it, other than to say that it was something I can't forget, it was horrible by all standards, and taught me never to take anything for granted again.

Being freed after that and the aftermath. Not easy to deal with. And still not so easy, but we survived, I survived. I'd been through a lot of other traumatic experiences here and at home, so this was just something else I'd have to fight to overcome. And I did in time, though the memories will always remain. And sometimes I feel this great anger, so pissed off that I want to just go and do s Break things! Burn stuff, do some Michael Bey level damage So I just want to say that.. I'm grateful to the friends and allies I had made here, for those I'd been able to help, and even those who had been my family for the brief time they were here. And I'll also say this: if we can survive the Apocalypse, and also the Cage? We can survive anything. The fact that we're still standing is proof enough of that for me. So, here's to another good year of survival, friends, family, and a good fight. May we have many more good years to come.

Thanks for the card. Would today be a good day for us to go get those clothes for me? I'd bet the sales are good. Especially happy about getting the longcoat, damn that will look great for me in public We could take my car if you want. I hope you liked your gifts too. Probably take you a week or two to watch all of it, yeah? Possibly three.

What do you know, those wish things actually work.

I figured I needed a place to live, so I wished for Adrian's apartment from Palm Springs. Well, mine and Adrian's, I guess, since I've been living there for a few months. It has all our stuff in it, Adrian, all your artwork and my weapons and everything.

I am the most unoriginal wisher in the world. I couldn't think of anything I wanted, so I ended up asking that damn bauble for enough money to live comfortably here. Which admittedly isn't a lot of money, but it's nice to have some security, even if I'm not paying rent.
