| THE GOOD NEWS: I GOT A GIG!! I'm going to be playing my acoustic at a little coffeeshop down the street from Mama Santa's. It's called The Midgar Grind and I guess they finally listened to my demo. It'll just be me and a mic, so I'm a little embarrassed, but I need to buck up sometime, right? It'd be awesome if you guys could come listen to me. (And Zack, it'd be EVEN MORE AWESOME if you could get me a gig at Mama Santa's. I DO play acoustic stuff.)
Tseng really has me hooked on that electronica band he listens to, Mirror-whatever. And Seph has ALL THE ACOUSTIC BOOTLEGS OF MAKO SULPHIDE. Vincent is going to bring over some Nightwish because he says that's good, too. I'm starting to think that living in this house might totally help my musical tastes -- I've been into all the old classic rock stuff for so long. It's about time for me to broaden my horizons. I mean, Nobuo Uematsu is great, with those guitar licks, but I do need to diversify.
I was jamming the other day, and I actually think I've figured out the main riff to "Fighting For A Chance". It's really hard, but I think I finally have it. I'd love to find some other musicians, it's be totally sweet to start up a band, just to jam on the weekends. Maybe I should start asking around school?
Loving the tunes, Cloud
((*grin* One of my characters HAD to be musically inclined, as I spend so much of my own damned time practicing ^^)) ((...plus, the school band is another FANTASTIC cliche that we can totally ruin. Who's up for it?)) | comments: 26 comments or Leave a comment  |
| OK guys, Seph, Yuffie and I were up really late last night paging through these reports. (I appreciate everyone else's offers to help. I just don't want people finding things out about themselves that they wish they had never known.)
These people are ... messed up. A lot of this is wrong and really disturbing. I understand if you guys are bothered about it or about knowing these things about yourself. I don't suggest you read what we found out unless ... you really want to know.
I just think -- it's important that we find out, so that they can't manipulate us any more.
A lot of the experiments appear to have "triggers", so we'll have to figure out how to overcome these and make ourselves less sensitive (and hopefully, eventually, immune) to them.
This is really, really hard to write. Forgive me if I've inserted my own thoughts in places. I'm a little disturbed and trying to make up for it with jokes that don't seem to be funny anymore.
Also, I'm sorry for referring to people as "projects" or "specimens". Really. But you all know by now how bad my English sucks, so I'm just taking words from their documents.

| So, whoever volunteered me to be the leader of this little outfit (THIS MEANS YOU, VINCENT FUCKING VALENTINE!!!) probably made a big mistake.
I mean, I'm trying, guys, but this is HARD. I'm still gathering information, but I know that we all need to move soon. Tseng, thanks muchos for those files -- at least we'll know what Rufus was intending us all for. (That is, once I read them. I'm only ten pages in. Not a fast reader.)
Also, it doesn't help that you all quarrel like a bunch of first-graders.

In other news, I'm trying to think of an appropriate Halloween costume. Does anyone have any ideas?

| ...I'm back.
Yes. Really. And I'm sorry.
I apologize for all the angry journal entries, the angry comments, but most of all I apologize for ... letting her get to me.
I wasn't strong enough to stop her.
Yes, I know: they're all crazy, and between the lunches and the needles and the mind-control and PROFESSOR SNAPE'S POTIONS (TRAITOR) and the fact that they had infiltrated my very own house and MY VERY OWN MOTHER, you may even say that there was nothing I could do.
But I could have fought more, and I didn't. I wasn't strong enough.
That will be different now.
I AM strong now. I've learned how to be strong. I've learned how to fight, and - more importantly - I've learned what to fight for. And what to fight against. And you all - you all who saved me, who came after me: I fight for YOU now. I will protect you. They have made me strong, and I will turn that strength against them.
So...
Aeris and Tifa, thank you for coming after me. I couldn't hurt you, even with the drugs in my brain. Aeris, you and I have been friends for so long. And Tifa ... I never told you, but remember when we were children and played together? I had a crush on you. Somehow you knew I wouldn't hurt you - you both trusted me. Thank you, both of you, for coming after me.
Tseng and Elena, I am sorry that I hurt you. I don't remember it very well. The drugs were bad that day. I only hope I didn't do permanent damage.
Yuffie ... I'm so sorry. I didn't know what I was doing. I'm bad at saying this in person, but ... I still want to be with you, y'know?
All of you: If we work together, we can stop this. Now.

| THIS IS A WARNING.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO GET INTO AREAS IN THE SCHOOL THAT YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED IN.
WE KNOW WHAT YOU ARE UP TO.
BEWARE.
I have no problems with any of you, but if you interfere, you will get hurt.

Swordfighting with Sephiroth: 60 min Rating: 7 / 10 (I got a couple really good hits in)
...I ended up skipping some of my classes today, I think. At least, that's the only way these numbers add up. I just can't sit still any more. It's like there's ... energy ... in me ... and I have to work it out! It's OK though -- it's only going to MAKE ME STRONGER!

Free weights: 30 min Crunches and pullups: 30 min
Swordfighting with Sephiroth: 60 min Rating: 5 / 10 (I am getting better, but he is stronger)
Workout details: By the time I got home from working out, I was feeling a little dizzy, and I think I passed out fell asleep on the couch. However, whatever mom made for dinner had me feeling great, and I got in another mile before bedtime. I should have worked harder on my Chemistry paper, but it'll get at least an 85%, so I'm not too worried. I need to focus on working out more. I HAVE TO BE STRONGER!

| I...
I don't feel well
I came home from school and Mum had made this stew. She never makes stew. It looked a lot like the stuff I get at lunch so I didn't want to eat it but she just kind of laughed and said something about it making me big and strong. She said she'd made something special for me because I made QB. I didn't want to hurt her feelings so I ate it. And ...
why do i keep losing my train of thought?
So then I felt really good for a while. She was right. I went for a run and I felt awesome. But then when I got back I ...
I don't remember. I should probably just delete that sentence, but ...

| The nurse is totally stalking me.
I don't get it. At all.
She showed up at practice today and tried to corner me in the locker room. Thank goodness everyone got all distracted by those FASCINATING pictures of Seph that the Snapettes had decorated our lockers with for the next big game (*gags*). I managed to get away. But ...she's just weird, y'know?
Also, Mr Barret yelled at me today for not doing my homework. WE DIDN'T HAVE HOMEWORK, YOU BLACK ANGRY NUTJOB.
...Sorry. I really need to be nicer. I don't know what's come over me. I think I need to stop eating cafeteria food... | comments: 21 comments or Leave a comment  |

| So something weird is going on at school. I heard something about Seph getting in a fight and hitting the nurse.
Plus, nobody seems to want to talk to me anymore. Except Yuffie, but I have this theory that she just hangs out with me because of my flashy cell phone. It's not my fault Ma doesn't have any other kids to spoil!
Oh well. | comments: 31 comments or Leave a comment  |
| ...so I got one too.
I don't know what Sephiroth is talking about either. My English paper wasn't THAT bad. OK, so I'm no writing genius, but he didn't have to make me feel like a retard.
For real.
And my math grade is still higher than his. | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment  |
