fidelity
Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated, as Mr. Twain liked to say. Yeah, so I lost a month of my life to a hospital bed, but I've healed up now! Well. For the most part. Enough so that I can be back at school, safe and sound and all that jazz.
Seriously, guys. I'm back. Writing this as I unpack all my shit back into my dorm room, actually; kinda wondering how rooming with Shino's gonna go. He seems real put-together an' nice, and heck, Kiba loves him, so I guess he can't be too bad :D.
So. What've I missed?
The doctor says some of the hearing loss may be permanent. I haven't told anyone yet 'cept for Dad, 'cause I'm really hoping it isn't, you know? I'm hoping that I'll wake up and things won't sound so damn muffled. When people talk, it's like they're in the other room, whispering, under water---should I try learning to read lips? How will I play my drums if I can't hear clearly? Is Naruto's hearing as shot as mine is? He was standing right next to me when---
...
It's like I keep losing little bits of myself, going bad one piece at a time. First my heart, now my ears. I wonder what's next, an' if I can keep going without all these parts.
...Speaking of parts that were too effective, 'Yuya's looking good. Huge, but she doesn't have that strained, half-sick look she had a couple weeks back. She looks healthy---'bout ready to pop already, but healthy. I mean, I'm not one to throw around that "maternal glow" BS, but...
...I wonder how my hearing will affect her yelling matches. Hey! Maybe this is a good thing!
