D::: It's ending soon, whatever phase it is I'm in right now, I can feel it. Things are crumbling, fading, and a huge event is coming up.
K::: Our ominous voyage into the deep.
L::: It'll change us one way or another.
U::: Either we'll find out we love it, find out we hate it and lose hope of enjoying our time here, or come close to our death.
D::: No, seriously, I don't think I've spoken honestly about this. I'm a bad liar, and I'm trying to keep a good face on, but it hurts. I'm trying to convince myself I believe everything'll be Ok, but I can't ignore the truth. I don't trust my boat. I've seen too much f***ed up s*** on it. We've worked out some huge kinks, but they're kinks that shouldn't have been there in the first place. I would go into details, but I can't due to classifications. Don't worry, the f***-ups aren't classified, but their systems are, so I'm not even going to get into it.
L::: I still think we'll be fine. I know we will.
D::: I never said we wouldn't survive ...
K::: So tonight's our last free night. Tomorrow begins a two day Fast Cruise (we stay by the pier but simulate being underway, with a running reactor and all), one regular work day, and another two day Fast Cruise followed by Alpha Sea Trials. We're back to cranking again (in the kitchen, cleaning, and serving on the Crew's Mess) so we'll be on board the whole time. I'm looking forward to it, but it basically seals the deal tonight. This is it.
L::: And of course while we're in Taco Bell, 'Save Tonight' comes on, and well, I'm a p***y so it hit me. Now I'm all freaking out like it's the end of the world, even though I know it's not.
D::: And that feeling creeps back up on me, that we have no chance.
U::: I think we've spent so much time eating boat food lately, our stomach rejects even the heavenly gifts of the Bell.
D::: Work's been weird lately. How do I explain it?
K::: Hoa about we're being called by our names?! I don't know about you, but hearing, "Kaysaw, calm down", "It's Keisau, dude" from my co-workers is pretty perturbing.
D:: It's one of my secret wishes sadly, and it's been freaking me out. To explain, I slipped and gave out this eljay name to one of my friends at work around the same time that our seadad checked out Aaron's eljay including his friends page. So now here we are.
L::: We trust them, it's just ... weird. Especially the explaining part.
K::: "So LyaKard had a sex change?!." My favorite line, I think. You have to give them credit though, especially George. He's pretty dead on about picking out who's who. Even though he doesn't believe in conditions like this. Not that this is a condition, but DJ got a 'diagnosis' from his girlfriend. First time somone out and out declared Multiple Personality Disorder. In truth, we're just an attention w****. And much thanks to Aaron, whom we found out was inquisitioned over this, and to our gratitude said they needed to ask us about it. It's starting to die down now though.
U::: I liked DJ's prelude while we were down in PLO Bay and he turned to us and said, "You're a very interesting character ... or characters." Then Geroge broke and came right out with it.
D::: Peachy, honestly.
U::: So full though ... like sickeningly full. Ugh.
D::: Enough of this entry. On to the next one. I don't know why I'm doing this. But I am.
'til all are one!
