[Voice Post] - #5 Blah, blah, blah...
At the temple, the monks taught us to try to be honest in all of our dealings, because secrets were like an infected wound that would only grow worse with time, but now I'm starting to see the advantage of keeping some things to yourself. Sure, a lot of times when I don't tell people the truth, it backfires - but there were lots of times when I had to pretend that I wasn't the Avatar, and that's technically a kind of a lie, and if I hadn't done that I'd have just been captured by the Fire Nation or killed, and then I wouldn't have been around when the comet came to defeat Ozai.
And anyway, this event may seem harmless compared to a fake apocalypse, but isn't it kind of invasive? People shouldn't keep secrets from each other, but they shouldn't be forced to tell the truth, either. Sometimes the truth is just embarrassing!
I wonder what this would be like for Toph's feet? She can feel when people are lying, and people usually lie about things all the time - not necessarily bad things, sometimes it's as simple as "Hey, your hair looks silly" or "Hey, I wanted to sit next to her, jerk," or "Sure, I like that thing you like even though I really don't," but they're always doing it and she's always feeling it, so I bet it would be really weird to walk around a place as big as this and have NO LIES anywhere.
Oh, well. The timing's kind of inconvenient, I guess, because I was going to tell Katara about how we defeated Ozai and she took down Azula and Zuko became Fire Lord, but now I'll have to wait until all this is over or I'll wind up just blurting it out in some thoughtless way. Most of it's good news - like how well she and Zuko get along now - although that made me kind of jealous at first, and that stupid play didn't help any, having them all kissy in Ba Sing Se.... stupid play. Then again, you can't take that too seriously, because I had BOOBS and they made Toph a guy and they even had Zuko's scar on the wrong side - I mean, he's your prince, how can you get something that big wrong? Not that his scar is big - it is, but I meant the detail, the detail was big, they must've been paying, like, no attention at all. AND I DON'T HAVE BOOBS. I don't even look like I have boobs!
If I did, it might be kind of fun, but I don't, so it was completely inaccurate.
Anyway, I can't decide whether or not I should tell Katara about confronting the guy that killed their mom... I'm still really proud of her, but it might be hard for her to hear knowing she can't do anything about it now. Plus there's the fact that when we go back to our world we forget everything.
And should I tell her that she became my girlfriend, after all? I don't know... that's kind of an awkward thing to talk about, because from what I understand the last thing she remembers is the failed invasion, and even though I kissed her then I know that she was confused afterwards... I wish I could have known before I faced Ozai, because it was kind of hard facing him and not knowing how she felt, it made it scarier, but...
Man, I could really use another meeting with the lionturtle right now. Oh well.
