Entry 5/8

[wanderingtora]

...I really need to do a better job of using this after I went through the trouble of grabbing it. The entire point was to help me keep better track of time...and the events of what could pass for my life that time and my own memory seems to easily forget. Maybe in time, I'll start seeing some patterns that I've managed to overlook through the

Ara, don't tell me another thief~ How charming you sound, hehe. And so gracious too~

[wanderingtora]

Sarcasm at its finest, I see.

...And I prefer "taker of what I can't afford". Doesn't roll off the tongue as nicely, but it's not like I'm a professional who makes a living out of it. I'd actually have money if I was.

[tomoka_hime]

Isn't it though~?

Ooh, quite some class there too. I must say I like your style then, a vagrant then I take it?

[wanderingtora]

I'm sure you think your clever for it, too.

Vagabond, tramp, aimless wanderer...whatever you want to call it. The road is my only home. ...And as poetic as that sounds, I'd hardly call the road a comfortable place to be.

[tomoka_hime]

Not at all, it's just amusing.

I'd imagine as much. I'd suggest settling down somewhere for a bit but it seems as if you don't have that luxury for whatever reason.

[wanderingtora]

Right, because I haven't heard jokes made about my lack of common courtesies plenty of times before. And since I have a wonderful sense of humor and love to laugh at my infinite faults, that means I'll find it hilarious as well as opposed to just rolling my eyes over the stupid comments. ...See? I can do sarcasm too.

...Unfortunately, this way of life is a necessity for me. Were it different, I'd be hundreds of miles from where I am now, happily living in a town by the Southern shores. ...But that's an impossibility for me at this point.

[tomoka_hime]

And you do it oh so wonderfully as well; which in no means is meant to be sarcastic, honest. I'm sure you could say your fair share of lovely things about me as well-- feel free to have a go if it appeases you at all~

Ara, the Southern shores... indeed a good place to settle down. Why not simply be a wanderer there? No one can really claim all the fish in the sea from you after all~

[wanderingtora]

While the first things out of your mouth that you said to me were stupid, beyond that, I haven't been given a reason to say anything further...yet. And right now, that makes you smarter than three of the retards who were also speaking to me.

The further I am from where I belong, the better. I'm far less likely to be recognized and can more easily stay under the radar that way. ...Plus as much as I hate to admit it, there are still some...attachments that I carry with me that I don't wish to see fucked up more than they already are. And I know they will be if I go back there. ...I've caused enough harm and pain in my time to know it would be foolish to even try thinking otherwise.

[tomoka_hime]

Ara, well that's just because I'm not here to tell you how to treat people only trying to be generous or to tell me your life story so we can work things out. You've obviously been doing fine with how you've done things and who am I do judge after all~ It's simply interesting getting to know others through here, hehe.

Such a shame, it's quite a lovely place to go, having to force yourself as far away from it as possible doesn't sound pleasant at all. I'd recommend a good disguise but it sounds like you've been at your wandering for a while and won't be changing your ways.

[wanderingtora]

...Not sure how anything you've said so far could be qualified as generous at all. And telling you my life story in an effort to "work things out" sounds like you're heading in the direction of what I was complaining about disliking to begin with. Which is a gracious savior. Which I don't want or need.

I'm well aware of how nice it is and in ways you probably don't even know about, but that's not reason enough to suddenly make me change my mind just because I miss my homelands. ...And I won't disguise myself. It may cause me troubles along the way, and it has in the past...but if it's one thing that I've carried with me through the years, it's the advice that I should never be ashamed of who I am nor what I look like. So if I am found, then I'll be found as I am. Not as someone I am pretending to be.
