4:57 am - A Death? (TCU)
|
|
I only awakened when the sun streaming through the room's windows grew too bright to ignore. Fortunately I remembered enough about my trip not to have panicked at the strange surroundings.

4:21 am - *prods self to IC update soon*
|
|
Most everyone left SG, which had been dying of neglect, anyway. Eventually it reached the point where I thought even if it restarted my chara wouldn't be the same, so I may as well leave. I only stayed as long as I did out of love of that incarnation. I'm a bit sad I won't be able to play that Gala again, but I suppose that's the way things happen.
At the same time SG was dying out, another game was having its restart, and their Gala was open, so I took that as a sign I was meant to go play over there. Hopefully it'll go well and last a while-- she's the first real myu-Gala I've tried to play, and I'm interested to see how that goes.
Every RP I'm in right now seems to be sorely neglected, sadly. I worry they may all die out if things don't improve :-( . Perhaps no-one really bothers with text-based RP anymore? I wonder if people prefer video games and MMORPGs instead. But text RP helps flex my creative muscles, so I hope things will improve on the boards soon, especially TCU. I don't know what I'll do if my beloved game dies out before it ever really gets a chance to live!
I probably should've used a cut, but meh, not like anyone reads this anyway :-P .

4:03 am - Chaperoning (BA)
|
I'm not sure how I was talked into acting as a chaperone for the school's masquerade ball, particularly since I've never been to such a thing before. I was told what things to look out for, such as children spiking the punch and making out in the corners, but little else. Of course I didn't wear a mask, as I knew no-one would take me seriously in a position of authority if I had one.
The evening started out quite boring, with everyone loitering around the refreshments table talking before some of them got brave enough to wander out onto the floor to dance. That's something else I don't think I've ever done. It did look like the children were having fun, once things got off the ground. Some of them perhaps had a bit too much fun, as their bodies got awfully close together, but I wasn't told what the limits on that are supposed to be, so I didn't know whether I should've stepped in. Watching everyone almost made me wish I knew something about dancing. . . or trying to relax and have fun in any way, for that matter.
Maybe if someone had spiked the punch bowl. . .

5:20 am - Beautifying My Space (BA)
|
I wouldn't mind so much, my room being dull, if it were only a working space. But having to live there, and spending so much time there, since I really have so little else to do, it's ever so slowly driving me mad. As much as I don't care for shopping, I think I'll have to head into town to see what I can find to add some interest to the small, sterile space I currently have to think of as home. Perhaps even something alive, like a plant or a fish? I never had anything to care for, where I come from, and I think it might do well as a learning experience. Now if I can just manage to nurture rather than kill something for once in my life. . .
current mood:  cheerful

4:21 am - *eyetwitch* (BA)
|
I think one of my students was flirting with me -_- . He seems to think he's charming, making those big puppy eyes and telling cutesy little stories. I can't recall I've ever had anyone see me as attractive or desirable in the past. . . or not that they've had the nerve to do anything about, anyway. . . Of course, I had to set him straight on the issue, put a little scare into him for good measure. I can't have the students seeing or treating me as anything but an authority figure.
I gave their first important project, as well, and they have that little Casanova-wannabe to blame thank for the idea. They're meant to give an oral presentation in one week on whom they find the most flawed leader in history and where that person went wrong. It'll count for 25% of the quarter's grade, of course. . . helps drive home the point that I do, indeed, mean business. I should probably feel ashamed for being so rough on them already. But if I don't make them respect me now, it'll only make things all the harder later.

8:12 am - Personal Space Issues (TCU)
|
|
I hadn't heard the door open, nor any activity in the room, yet when I returned from my bath there was a tray of food perched on the edge of the table beside the fish bowl. I quickly dressed myself in a nightgown I'd brought and resolved not to be nude in the room again, despite the fact it should've been a private room. Apparently the standards of privacy were very different on Quanyin than what I was used to.

5:18 am - Well, I Think I Got Their Attention (SCT)

I wanted to speak with the Sol concerning their pact with that vampire from the park, but I didn't know how to find them, short of causing a public disturbance to attract their attention. I suppose I did a bit of that, after all. . .

4:33 am - Shaping Impressionable Young Minds (BA)
|
My immediate thought was, "What is someone like me doing teaching a history class?" But then again, I suppose I'm something of a poster child for never forgetting the lessons of the past, of not allowing history to repeat itself. Maybe that's why I'm teaching a subject like this.
So that's the theme of my first lesson, as I try to get accustomed to this new job; the idea that those who cannot learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. I'm sure that's a theme everyone can relate to in at least some way. I'll be interested to see how many ways that old adage has come into play in the lives and personal experiences of my students. But if they think I'm going to openly and honestly share my own experiences with this theme, they're going to be sorely disappointed.

7:21 am - *blinks*
|
|
Apparently some really big thing happened over at SG. No, I'm not sure what, though I think the mods had been fighting lately and I figure whatever it was must've come to a head.
Also, I may be trying out for another RPG board, once I get a feel of the place and see if it's all right/will welcome me. *shrugs* There wasn't much there to look at, so I really can't tell much either way.

10:20 am - Arrival (BA)
|
|
You know what they say about idle hands. . . which is why I've now taken up gainful employment, to keep myself busy. I'm going to be shaping the young, impressionable minds of youth, as frightening an idea as that is. I've only just arrived on campus and have yet to meet anyone, so I can't really say much about it. I can say I'm severely underwhelmed by the size and contents of my assigned room, however. Perhaps I'll think a little differently once I've done some decorating, but just on first glance, I'm having a hard time imagining anyone, least of all myself, spending time in such a place.

6:30 am - Are We There Yet? (TCU)
|
|
Of course I'd travelled great distances through space in the past, but I'd never been outside my own galaxy before. Travelling through a galaxy, if you get tired, there's always some planet, moon, or asteroid one can stop on to rest, but much of the space outside is empty of such safe havens. It's far from the ideal way to discover one's abilities and limitations.

6:29 am - In the Interest of Peace (TCU)
|
I'd spent the day exploring the marshlands. . . without proper wading gear. . . so my boots were caked in mud, my pants wet from the knee down, and my shirt streaked with dirt from the unfortunate habit I'd developed of wiping my hands on my clothes while out exploring. I had yet to discover any other humanoid life on the planet besides myself-- whom did I have to impress? Suddenly I saw a bright streak of light in the early evening sky. At first I assumed it was only a meteorite, but when it didn't burn up in the atmosphere, I thought it best to investigate. Visitors often showed up as shooting stars, after all. . . or invaders. . .

4:06 am - SoF
|
It looks like SoF is about to start over, but looking over what they've been putting up now, it doesn't look like it's gonna be about the canonical charas at all. As I'm sure everyone knows, BSSM games which aren't about the canonical charas don't interest me in the least, so I deleted my account there. It's no big loss, as I didn't get to do much even when I was there, and my Gala-chan incarnation there never developed as I hoped she would, anyway.
I will take this chance to reiterate, however, how much I would really like to have more places to play her. Anyone happen to have any RPG forums lying around which happen to be in need of an experienced Galaxia? *sweetly ebil widdle grin* I've been playing (at least mostly-) reformed thus far, but can easily channel my scary dictator side if the board calls for it.

7:07 am - End of SCT Drama?
|
I finally ended up confronting Dark over IMs about what's been happening, and finally got my account to re-register. I sent PMs around to everyone explaining what happened, in case they didn't get to see the message I'd posted before it was deleted. Now we'll just have to see how well the forum recovers after this. Is it being naive of me to think maybe if there were more advertising, so people knew the board's current URL and that it's actually not entirely dead, it might get more traffic and possibly even members?

6:29 pm - SCT Drama Cont'd ad nauseum
|
Since attempts to e-mail Dark kept coming back saying "user unknown", I sent an e-mail to the admin of the board. I don't know if she'll give a crap, since she's been absent from the board so long. I guess I'm hoping she will read the e-mail and be horrified enough by what's been going on in her absence that she'll want to do something about it.

4:15 am - SCT Drama Cont'd
|
Dark has verbally attempted to make up and is acting like we're supposed to be friends again, yet I am back to getting a "banned" message on SCT. From what I hear, he deleted the message I'd put up, as well. I haven't heard whether he's done anything else. It bothers me more when he acts like things are all better when they're not, than when he was just outright hating me. Rather than seethe about it I decided to take my own advice and approach him about it. I did it via e-mail, though, 'cause I didn't feel like dealing with a chat tantrum. I guess we'll see what he has to day in his own defence here.

4:36 am - Competition? (SG)
|
I found out the name of the program I'd become so engrossed in is "Lovelorn Stories", though whether I'll be able to watch again to find out how the triangle turns out, I'm not sure. After the episode was over I channel-surfed a bit while finishing my meal, but could find nothing else that held my attention, so I turned it off. When I carried my dirty dishes to the kitchen to put into the machine, I found Seiya there.

1:58 am - Into the Woods (SCT)
|
I was having a walk through the park, and time got away from me, I suppose. By the time I noticed, it was beginning to get dark and cold, though the latter had little effect on someone who can streak through the cold vacuum of space without a ship or suit. I had turned to start back, when I heard movement from behind some nearby bushes.
