It's been in the back of my mind for a while now, but seeing Toshi's post really reminded me. In 5 days, I'll have been here exactly a year. When I arrived, this place was so bare and empty... there was no one else here. And nobody got here until Luke, three weeks later. I think that was the longest 3 weeks of my life. Especially since I knew Kir ( Read more... )

Ah... I should have made this so you wouldn't see it...

A whole year....

I can hardly recall what it was like being new here.

It's hard sometimes, but you need to look at the glass half full.

Some of us really have been here a long time... The place certainly has changed a lot. Unfortunately, probably not enough that they'll start taking "send me home" requests.

Probably not. Would be nice, though.

I know there are others. I'm sure I must sound like I'm just complaining...

Indubitably.

And what, exactly, would be wrong with complaining? Where's the rule that says people should be martyrs and never complain about any shit that goes on? Considering you aren't other people, it's fine to complain from your own point of view, isn't it? And some of us can hear the complaining even when you don't voice it.

I do believe I told you, once, that I, for one, was all for pity parties? By the by, they did forgive you and it did end up not especially mattering, didn't it?

((OOC: Oh man, I vaguely remembered something about pity parties and went to look up the thread it's from... How was that already 7 months ago? @_@))

Heh... that was quite a while ago, wasn't it? I just am sure that people won't appreciate being reminded that we're all stuck here. Some of us have such important reasons to want to go back... family, friends, responsibilities... I don't have that kind of reason.

I think a lot of people would like to go home Jing, a year is a long time to be away from your home. It's odd, I think I remember when I first got here and how I wanted to go home. I guess I've gotten use to being here, that and the fact I don't really have my own home anymore so there's no where to wish to go back to. What I don't like is we've been here this long and still don't really know what we're up aganist.

I know they would. That's why I'm sure people will just see this as whiny...

I could never see this place as my home.

Well, let them whine. Everyone has a right to vent, fuck I do it all the time.

I don't really see it as home, it's more that the home I remember doesn't exist anymore so I can't really want to go back.

Ah, okay. I understand now.

It's weird. In Aquavitae, I spent as little time as possible in Amarcord, where I grew up. I don't really like it there, there's too many old memories. It's my world itself, Aquavitae, I miss. The way it is, the way seems crazy all the time and yet makes perfect sense.
