Introduction

[sandstonecowboy]

Dean Mouse said I should use this journal system to acquaint myself to the students that will be attending classes with me. The men from the phone company and the ISP just came and fixed the phone lines, and it's very different to have the internet as a convenience, I've got to say. I figure I won't have much time to use it, there's things that

NO FUCKING WAY!

LEEEEEX! :D It's XIGGY!

Holy shit, bro, what are you doing here?! School, obviously, but aaaaaarg! You WOULD be going right after I graduate. Nice timing, numbskull!

What the fuck, when did you get in town?

[sandstonecowboy]

Xigbar? I've got to say, I'm surprised to see you here, too. Our paths cross again, I guess.

To make it fair, I'm doing more graduate work. I'd like the doctorate eventually, and I need to pass the exam before I can practice.

Not too long ago. I don't have a cell phone yet, and we just got our internet hooked up today, so I've been cut off from any place that wasn't accessible by horseback.

[ixarms_reloadxi]

Yeah, it's crazy! How have things been? How's your mom? Does she still whip up a hell of a crawfish sausage? God, I could go for some right now.

I'm looking for some class to get into so I can stick around and entertain myself while Larxene's finishing with whatever. I'm looking at renewing my EMT license, or getting a head start on the Cardiology thing. I can already cut into people, though. :P So, uh, vet practice, huh? I happen to own a plethora of critters if you wanna come poke at them. Just don't poke Dustball too hard. He's cranky and he'll bite!

Well hey, why don't you come chill at my place sometime soon? You can meet the family, and they can meet one of the coolest guys I know!

[sandstonecowboy]

Things have been fine. Mom's doing okay, although she misses me being away from home like this. We traded some early vegetables for crawfish before I left, so as far as I know, she still does.

I don't know what you could take, Xigbar. Maybe you should just graduate like you should...and who's Larxene, if you don't mind me asking?
I've stuck with it, surprisingly, and no, I can't legally poke at your animals. I can, however, strongly suggest what you should and shouldn't do.
Who's Dustball?

I can, once I get a day off from McGregor. A raccoon killed one of the chickens, and I've got to help with that, you know how it is.

OH YAY! YOU ARE GOING TO SCHOOL! Grandma said as much but I didn't believe her, but cool! Finally, a Sort-Of-Neighbor that I can actually stand!

Sorry for disrupting your riding today, too! Horsey and I have a snack date that we've come up with since I met him. :3 I looooove carrots, and he likes the part I can't eat! Waste not want not, right? ^^

I have to say, though, you're like, way more talkative here online than you are in person! Or maybe you're just shy. Omg, did we even exchange names today?

I'm Rikku! I live with Wren and Nolan Wilkinson. :3I've heard about Mister McGregor, but I've never met him. Cool that he's got help now though!

[sandstonecowboy]

It's all right, miss. Old Man likes his treats and company, and I can't deny him those.

You're much less talkative than what you were today.
No, we didn't exchange names, but I do recognize Wilkinson. He's the fix-it man around here, isn't he?

McGregor's getting on in age, and the farm's becoming too much for him to handle. He needed someone to help, I needed a place to stay.

[oilycodemonkey]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO IT'S HAPPENING AGAAAAAAAAIN! YOU AND LUX BOTH! NO MISS! I'm not old enough for that! If you wanna call anyone "Miss" I'll give you a freakin' list, but I'm not on it! *flail flail* ... that aside, he's a very nice horse. :3 Very big, too! Big feet! And lots of hair! Think he'd let me brush him and braid his hair? :3

I'm sorry. D: I don't get much Human/Viera/Al-Bhed Interaction lately. I hope I didn't talk your ear off! ^^;

He is! He and Luxord both can fix ANYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE! And what they can't fix, I bet I can! :D Fix it, write it, update it, jam it, spread it, and pretty much just make it better! :3

Sounds like a fair trade, then! Well done sir! :D

[sandstonecowboy]

I'm sorry, I was just being polite. I think Old Man'd let you do just about anything as long as you kept feeding him.

It's all right. I come from a large family, I'm used to it.

That's the names, then. McGregor's got a list of numbers on the icebox in case of emergency, and theirs is on there. You're not listed on there, though.

It is. One of my friends' grandpa pulled some strings and helped me out.

Hi!

I'm Demyx, TTU's unoffical welcoming comittee! Wait, shit... I can't say that anymore since I'm officially no longer a student at TTU! Dammit they better not take away my access to the journal system! I need this place to live!

Ahem, sorry, sometimes I ramble. Well, I ramble a lot, you'll get used to that! So, you're going to be a vet, huh? You'll have plenty of customers around here! Xig has a ton of animals and Riku and i have three dogs and two cats so we'll be by to visit when everything is official!

If you ever need anything, just yell! 8D

[sandstonecowboy]

You've graduated, I'm guessing? Thank you for the welcome, though, I do appreciate it.

That is my intention, yes. I don't know if I'll practice here, as there is the family farm that needs my help back home. I do appreciate the offer, though.

I'm doing fine for now, but thank you, Demyx.

[h2o_dancer]

It feels weird to be done with school... but I'll be sticking around for a while until my other half finishes and he has a while to go!

Before I forget to warn you! There may be a large wolf wandering around the farm, but I promise you that he's not going to cause trouble. His name is Wayhe and he seems to have made friends with one of the horses...

[sandstonecowboy]

It's an odd feeling, but you'll get used to it once you start working. Or, you can always go back and pursue another degree.

I've seen him around, and as long as he doesn't go near the chickens, he's fine. Señorita's taken quite a liking to him, though, and I don't think he'll harm her without her getting a good kick in.

[blaze_edge]

I'm usually not one of the welcoming committee...but from what I've seen of you, you're not one of the hyperactive and cheerful types we seem to get from time to time so...welcome?

I apologize. I'm not too good with things like this.

[sandstonecowboy]

You've got me. I've been told I'm quieter than most, but I'm fine with that. Thank you for the welcome.

I'm not proficient with welcomes, either, but you've given it a shot, so you've done well.

[blaze_edge]

Well at least I'm improving, I suppose. Friends always tell me I need to be more outgoing, so...what better way than to start by saying hello?

But yes, there's lots of crazy being passed around this campus. Try to stay sane.

[sandstonecowboy]

There really isn't a better way, so it's been said.

I think I'll avoid most of the "crazy", seeing as I don't live on campus and will probably be taking a lot of night courses.
Unless the "crazy" comes out at night.

Um.... Hi. I'm Zexion. I know this is kind of late but. Welcome to TTU.

[sandstonecowboy]

You're all right, Zexion. I've been here for a while, I should have introduced myself sooner. Thank you for the welcome.

[blue_lexicon]

Well I don't get out much so I don't notice when new people are around until after a while.
