I’ve gotten the perfect gift for Riley this Christmas.

The salon where I went to get my hair dyed back was selling raffle tickets to raise money for a fundraiser, and in turn, the winner would receive a free make-over complete with a new outfit. Well, wouldn’t luck have it, I get a call a few days later telling me I had won and was asking when I would want to schedule an appointment.

I made it for her the day after New Years. I figure it might inspire a resolution to start looking her age, and who knows, maybe the acting will follow. Oh, and I know she’d not go willingly, so I’ve set it up that it’s an appointment for myself to get a permanent which I’m sure she can’t refuse watching happen.

I’m really curious to see how they’ll transform my sister. I’d like it if ALL her hair was its natural color, and maybe even it out with some layers, though I’m not sure exactly how they’d do that given the dramatic difference from front to back. Some make-up would be nice, and hopefully whatever they pick out for her to wear can go with the boots dad recently bought for her birthday, because that’s a snazzy pair of footwear.

Wow. I’m getting excited just thinking about it.

Likeya found me at the base just as I was leaving to go home after some training Saturday night. She asked if I’d ‘bake cookies’ or ‘decorate a tree’ with her, which really isn’t my thing, so I suggested she try finding Robyn or Apollo. But I guess she doesn’t know either of them, and now I’m stuck setting them up with her.

I should get a free batch out of this deal. Really, I should.

My holiday t’do list:

- Gifts: DONE. ‘Cept for Aida and a few others. Maybe I can get Robz t’bake some stuff for-I mean WITH me, of course, th’rest of ‘em. OR I could stop by that place the bosslady works at s’long as she’s still there. FREE SAMPLES FTW I WANNA CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRY.

- Decorations: DONE. I spent Sunday cuttin’ out snowflakes with Jules n’ Robz an’ hangin’ them with the lights n’ garland n’ STUFF. I also put bows on Gumdrop, Biscuit, n’ Stardust an’ omgz TOO CUTE. <333 Then my roomies tried puttin’ ‘em in m’hair. NOT COOL. D:<

- Tree: DONE! I got Aida t’do it HAHA. He’d paid t’have his hair changed back, an’ I guess with doin’ that he was feelin’ better so he came out with us t’ pick one out. He even carried it all th’way upstairs n’ set it in the stand! ( Read more... )

…now that I’ve picked up where I left off with my shift at the museum… the free time I’ve gained back… has been spent sleeping. It had been especially difficult to get out of bed earlier in the week… a storm passed slowly and hung heavy over the city… bringing with it a few feet of snow. That was when my slumber was the deepest.

I can barely remember my dreams… but the one I had last night… it had been a trip to Spain. I can remember well the landscape… and how beautiful it looked. I do miss the traveling I had been doing… and my vacation… was so blissful that I question if my time there had been real… and merely not a play on my memories.

More than ever as of late… I have considered re-locating to a different city… perhaps… a different country… so that I may see more of the world. But Viper knows… I can’t easily break the shackles of being his property…

…could I really… just give it up? I always feared a reversal… but the less I am engaged in villainous activities… the more appealing the life I once had is...

I will… have to seriously consider this before making a final decision.

Clearly, I have decades until it happens, but overnight I turned into an old man thanks to my prankster of a sister. Regardless of the comments I've received on the new 'do, I don't like it. Which means I'll have to brave a stylist and sit in a chair for two hours and PAY to change my hair back to it's original shade.

Yes, the thought makes me rather miserable, but it could have been worse. And I think I saw it passing by the large window of a shop and there was someone with a white mohawk. She didn't seem the type to sport it willingly, so I was curious, as was probably evident by me slowing my walk out front. It wasn't long before she saw me that I hurried and went on to do some Christmas shopping. I didn't mean to stare, but wow, what a bold style.

I think I've seen it somewhere before... maybe down at Riley's old shop the few times she's taken me there after her friend bought the place. I think she said something about a party. Before all this, she told me I was invited, but after finding out what the theme was felt no guilt it telling her 'no way.' I think I have patrol that night, anyway.

It was great seein' daddy 'gain an' gettin' to catch up over dinner. We talked 'bout how I've been doin', how his job's been, an' a buncha other stuff while I got to nosh on some DELISH sushi. It's been like FOREV since I've had any an' oh man, was that shit GOOD. Daddy didn't like it too much after tryin' some, bein' it was his first time, and he got a bowl'a ramen. He's so borin'.

BTW WHAT'RE THESE??! Dun'know why daddy thought cowboy boots were part'a my wardrobe, but he 'membered me tellin' him 'bout the UGGZ I got last year from ma an' I guess he thought I liked boots 'nuff to get 'em for me. I mean, they're pretty but they'll take some fittin' in, 'cause like, wtf can I wear with 'em? Too bad it ain't warmer out 'cause I could probably pair 'em with some cut-offs n' a tank. AWW THAT'D BE CUTE. Hellz yeah.

Aida don't like me too much right now since he's been pranked. He knew it was me 'cause not only did he text 'GIVE ME BACK THE KEYS' later on he stopped by the apartment an' took 'em. He wasn't gonna wait and damnit I didn't think t'make a copy. Whatev. Hey, maybe for a Christmas I'll pay for a dye job AN' MAKE IT PINK N' BLUE. omg his head would look like cotton candy ice cream. <333

Oh yeah, this season I decided to make m'gifts to friends. Well, 'least Romeo, Robz, and Jules. I had alot of fun with 'em and just maybe I'll make some more. I just hope they like what they're gettin'. OH OH we gotta get a tree, too. Shit, I'd ask Aida for help, but y'know ahahahahahahaaa... damn. I NEED A STRONG MANZ PLZ HALP.

It was nice seein’ my family again. Nothin’ much has changed ‘sides my younger sister startin’ to drive. Yeah, she had some balls t’ask if she could try my Lotus. HA. HAHA. I say t’that.

I overheard Robi tryin’ to get back at Aida for fakin’ her at the orchard. Like, srsly? She’s been at it THIS long and done nothin’? Girl ain’t got no experience, and that’s why she went t’Mal ‘bout it, and HE couldn’t even come up with somethin’. He was like, ‘Aida’d crush me’ and I was like, ‘lololol yeah he would but you still gotta’ SO I stepped up t’ the plate and offered t’sneak into his place while he’s out (spare key ftw AWW AIDA YOU DOPE) and put bleach in his shampoo. It’s BRILLIANT.

He’s gonna be hella pissed but it’ll be so sweet an’ it’ll last for weeks ‘less he goes and gets his hair dyed back to black. I don’t think he would. But maybe he will. I’ll convince him not to an’ tell ‘im it’s what Rio wanted all along. AHAHAHAHA they’re both gonna hate me. D: lol

So like, m’daddy is gonna be takin’ me out for a birthday dinner Saturday night. He asked where I wanted t’go, and I ‘membered that place the punk said he’s been workin’ at SO I’M GONNA DO IT. I know he don’t cook the food or bus the tables but I can always order somethin’ an’ send ‘im out into like NML where he’d be all like WTF and I’d be like LOL. I’ll make it an order for “Ima Dudee” or “P. Enis” OR OR “Aida Evers” omfg score.

While I don't follow my own horoscope, I had wanted for a while to establish DOBs for my characters, (with the exception of Lik who has a 'creation date' lawl) and decided to look into what sign they might fall under.

It might not be absolute but they're pretty darn close. lol

Stand-by to Active…

Recently there was a ‘holiday’ celebrated by members of the team called ‘Thanksgiving.’ I did a search for a term and related topics and it was an event from the past where two groups from different cultural backgrounds came together for a celebratory function with food, drink, and entertainment.

I can understand why I was not invited to participate. I do not require sustenance to survive. But wouldn’t my presence alone be enough of a reason to be asked? It does not matter. The day has passed, the festivities have ended, and a new one approaches: Christmas.

After sorting through all the information I have a general understanding and wish to try ‘decorating a tree’ and ‘baking cookies’ and ‘buying gifts.’ They sound like activities I would enjoy. Perhaps then I can wear my dress? I have been practicing putting it on by myself, and though successful, it still takes some time to maneuver the sleeves. I will continue trying.

Jasper found me after I had trained with Aida. He asked where I had been, and I told him ‘being productive and obeying his personal boundaries.’ The later resulted in him trying to again explain the meaning of his request, which made slightly more sense, but not enough for me to change my disposition.

Is this what they call ‘confusion?’ It is a rather indecisive emotion.
