It's strange. I was older yesterday, and I'm older today, but it's a different sort of older. Yesterday I was older but I was still me, but today I'm older and I feel like I'm from somewhere else. I don't really know how to explain it ( Read more... )

That's a good philosophy to have.

I think so too.

I haven't seen you around before. Are you new to the City?

No, we've actually talked...actually it was more like we argued.

Really? I don't remember you at all. And I always remember people I argue with. What's your name?

A worthy pursuit of your time Miss Shirley... I wish you the best. Do you know what area of study you'll focus on?

Thank you! And I'm not sure. The Romantics, maybe. I don't want to limit myself before I know everything.

That's quite wise of you. Better not to limit yourself at this stage of the game.

Thank you. You don't happen to have any suggestions, do you?

You seek growth to avoid stagnation. Or does it have another purpose?

Avoiding stagnation. Yes, I think I would like to avoid stagnation. Change is a good thing. As much as we want some things to last forever, I think if they actually did, things would get dull.

As for another reason...well, to enjoy myself, I suppose! I loved school when I was able to go. And I think so many months of idleness is beginning to wear on me. I'd like to be doing something useful, even if it's only useful to me.

'Useful'.

What would you study?

In school now or when I go to graduate school?

Even older today?

Not by much, I think, but it's hard to tell when you don't do your growing up the way you're supposed to.

Definitely older than normal though.

yes, Kirk. You've been flirting with a 12 year old. Take a shower. abouttohappen August 9 2009, 20:25:59 UTC
Quite a bit. It's like a sneak peak into my future. Normally I hate reading ahead, but this is kind of fun.

No, but watch out for Elaine. It's not really her, it's her sister Morgana.
