Thoughts on Things
[Private to Self]
I’ve been here about a month. A month that I shouldn’t be living at all. I’m thankful to the Gods for it, but still wonder why the frak I’m here. Especially when..well, you know. When it seems to be more trouble than not sometimes.
I guess it's just trouble because they've all been through so much. Shit that I really can't understand. I just see the differences. Pop's..older. Tired. He's not Zeus anymore, like I told Lee. But maybe it's good for him. Gods know that he holed up in his office or his ships too much when we were kids.
Lee. It's weird, living with him again. We were sort of drifting apart before all of this even. I know why now. He's in love with Kara. My Kara. Who's..not mine. And..frak.
I love her. I always will. But maybe Lee's right. Just a little. They don't belong here. I don't belong here. Not really. Or maybe I belong here and they don't. Either way, I don't have a place in her life. In their lives. Not beyond their time here. So maybe I should just let her go and go forward here.
Lee says they'll be back. It's a nice thought, but it's big brother protecting me again. This isn't their Earth. As much as I want it to be, it's not. If it was, then why am I here? Earth is supposed to be this place full of life. Not filled with ghosts. Even if it was, where is everyone else? All the other people from our worlds, our colonies, long gone to Elysium. And yet, here I am. It's said that Athena and Prometheus made us..breathed life into us. Did They see fit to breathe life into me once again?
But I'm here, and they'll leave. Which is probably why it's good to make connections with other people here. I like the town. It's odd, but there are nice people. Moira's pretty fun. And nice. Lee said that she was making eyes at me, but I think he's being a jackass.
I have more to say, but I have to get to work. It's a temporary thing, helping rebuild places that were messed up by the earthquake, but it's money. I'll try to write again tonite. While Lee's asleep or something.

Leland. Have you seen that trenchcoat I bought?

Olly olly oxen free. We need to talk, and I'm debating about simply raiding your apartment. Just letting you know.

That was a fun party. Thanks for throwing it.
So Moira.. Moira said her birthday was in December. Any suggestions on what to get her?
