I just want to remind all of the swordplay members that you do actually have to attend one meeting a week. I realize that sometimes there are reasonable excuses, like a trip to the nurse. You guys can get notes for those though, and you'll need to take those by Professor Marston's office. He gives me a list of students with excused absences for the week. There are three sessions, so some excuses may not work--unless you have scheduling conflicts on the days that you would not normally attend. The point being, you have to let someone know--and have a reasonable excuse--that you're not going to be able to make it. No more of this just not showing up business, it's flaky, and it makes things more difficult for your fellow club members since we're on a partner rotation.

Has anyone noticed how gorgeous the library was today? I understand that situations like this are probably bad for the books, but I wish the library could always be a garden. It's just so beautiful. I mean, I spent the entire day in the library just reading random stuff because who doesn't love to just laze around in a garden?

It's been a pretty good February I think, better than January, at least. January was a nightmare,. Another roommate lost, I just can't seem to keep them this year, can I? you have to laugh to keep from crying, right?
[Private to Nate]
Valentine's Day was wonderful, I just wanted to let you know.

[To Swordplay Members]
I've been noticing some of you didn't make it to the club meeting this week. I understand the weather has been a little chaotic, but remember that you're supposed to make it to at least one of the meetings each week.

Dylan kissed me.... I mean, I know he was delusional at the time, and I washed my mouth out with soap afterward, but LENDIE DYLAN KISSED ME! I'm kind of panicking right now....
[/private]
[Private to Nate]
I need to talk to you about something, it's important. Is there any time when you're free. Dylan kissed me, and I don't want you to find out from someone else

In case it isn't obvious, I haven't been up to much lately. I did run across this gem on youtube though. I remember hearing about Norman Mailer in the sixties, for someone who was supposed to be such a good writer he fails at the bantering thing doesn't he?
Also, that woman is fabulous.

[Private to Swordplay Club Members]
Swordplay meetings will begin next week, but meetings will not become mandatory until classes begin (since not all students are on campus yet, and some will be leaving for the holidays).
Remember, there will be three meetings per week, you are only required to attend one of those per week to maintain membership. If you have a good reason for why you could not making a meeting--for example, you were sick--let me know, and I will waive your attendance for the week. The meetings aren't mandatory right now, so you don't need to worry about letting me know for the next three weeks.
If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Back on campus thank goodness, it's a mess out there
So, I feel kind of unprepared since I left early last year. Anyone want to go over what I missed in the library sometime?
[Private to Self]
I wonder if coming back was a bad idea, maybe being a part of the magical world isn't what I want? I can't believe what those people were doing to each other in Venice... I realize this isn't what the entire magical world is like, but sometimes it definitely feels like it is.
Also...I wonder if Nate is even speaking to me anymore.

Actually, I'm spending my holiday with my roommate. There's so much more I would like to say, but what is the point?
[Private to Self]
Hiding behind flippancy doesn't really make me feel any better. I'm sorry I opened up this semester, I'm sorry I thought the world could actually hold anything for me except what I had already learned to expect from it. I'm sorry for so many things...
It isn't what happened, because if I'd been myself--or who I ought to be--what happened wouldn't bother me. I'm not a part of this, I've always known that, I'm just here until it's time to leave. Maybe leaving is coming sooner than expected. I...shouldn't have been so stupid. I've disappointed myself. And I wish I wasn't going home with Lendie...because that's just pretending to be something that I'm not. I want to go back to Venice and never come back here
[/Private]
[Private to Dylan]
Make me feel better...I think you're the only one who can right now.

Papers keep blowing across my room... Apparently I'm a wind mage now. Lendie and I figured this out yesterday.
And...I mean, there are definitely worse things I could be. At least I didn't set our room on fire, or flood it, or anything. The constant breeze is starting to get irritating though. I've had to weigh all the paper down in our room...and anything else that's consistently gone floating off.

Okay, fyi, I did not make this post....
But, Nate asked me out! And...we're going to On the Rocks on Wednesday.
[/Filtered to friends]
[Private, to Lendie]
Shit, I don't know what to wear! Lendie, what do you wear to On the Rocks? It's not formal, but not casual either right? So...I should wear a dress? Or can I wear jeans and just a nice shirt?
[/Private to Lendie]
[Private to Alec]
Uhh...we need to talk about, stuff, and how...all benefits are suspended until further notice.

Okay...one laptop dies, the next one had to come in the mail already broken? Really? Because penal enlargement adds are really what I want. Of course, especially environmentally conscious ones "Green" what does that even mean? I mean...really.
Thank God for roommates with working computers. Lendie, you're a lifesaver. Really!

I'm confused.
I don't like this feeling of putting down roots here, how people seem to be talking to me more--or maybe it's that this time I'm talking back to them. That's it I think, I need to get control of myself, this only lasts two more years after this, and then we move on to some other place with some other group of people. Only seven years, out of how many?
Too many. I wish I were human.
What am I even rambling about?

I hate it when you hold the door open for the next person coming through and they just walk through it so you have to hold it for the next person. It's like "I'm not holding this for you because you're hot stuff, it's common courtesy now hold the fucking door for the person behind you
Just saying.

A bombing?! Faie Therian treat?
If I could find Dylan and pin him down for more than a few minutes I would ask...
[Private to Lendie]
I'm worried about Dylan. He keeps going out into the city, and at least one time when I saw him come back he had blood on him...not his own though, there weren't any wounds or abrasions on his body. I thought this was going to be a break

In Venice, staying with Dylan for the break. His home is...beautiful.
[Private to self]
I've never seen Venice this way before, been in a place purely for relaxation and nothing else. This is what they call a break I guess.
It's nice here, nicer than anywhere I've ever stayed, although...sometimes I see an art piece I know too well, and remember things I'd rather not. Even combining faie and mundies it's a small world in Venice, and I can't help but be afraid that somehow I'll see Casali here. I shouldn't be afraid, I never was in the past. Clearly I'm going soft. God, I don't know what's wrong with me lately.
Still, it's wonderful here, even if I don't know what to do with myself most of the time...

So maybe having friends is kind of a nice thing.
[Private to self]
I'm really happy to discover I have them. I don't think I realized it until this week, I'm not really sure why. But it was a nice feeling to finally realize that sometimes you don't have to constantly be on your guard. That for just a moment, these seven years here, maybe I can be myself and have just a couple people understand what that is rather than assuming the worst.
And there's a part of me that knows I shouldn't let my guard down. In two more years it'll be over, I'll leave here, go out into the world, and the bubble that is Idris will have popped. The same world I left out there is waiting for me to come back to it, and no matter where I go, no matter what I do, the fact of the matter is things will always be the same. So many people like to think themselves above petty crime, but it's everywhere. Everywhere people are the same, using each other, climbing over each other, and in two years I'm going back even if it's not to the same place or the same people.
It's a little confusing, because on the one hand I'm happy to have friends who understand I didn't sleep with Tory and feel like it's obvious that I didn't, and at the same time I'm afraid of getting too comfortable to be knocked off my feet by the unstoppable force that is humanity and its survivalist mentality.

There are a lot of people here.
[Private, to self]
I should have booked a trip to Venice for this weekend...This is just awkward. I don't want to leave my room just in case I end up running into any of Salvatore's family, which while they don't know that I know, it's still supremely awkward for me. Not to mention, it's really better to avoid most of the faie families because the Agliardi have a lot of ties. It would just be oh so much fun to run into the Dumonts! I don't normally read, but it's not like I have anything else to do...it's that and homework for me.
[/Private]
[Private to Dick]
You're a loser for leaving this weekend. I guess you'd be with your family too though so, meh. Still!
