so, its my birthday next wednesday

& dont get me wrong? not a big deal, i guess, its just a day, i forgot it even happened last year, but

thats the whole thing. ive gone from 19 to 21 here, that's longer than i ever imagined staying, which has left me thinking about how long ive been here

what was your favorite mission? what do you think youve learned, from being here? who have you met that youre going to miss when you go home? what moment sticks with you the most? or, idk, anything you wanna talk about. we always get stuck on the negative stuff,
& i get it, its easy to get stuck there

but there is more than that. & i think that its important for us to remember that.

so, i will go first, i guess. i think my favorite mission was zeta-12. definitely. the squidges are great and i still think about it there sometimes. it was nice feeling like we made a difference there and helped that species continue. if youre curious, here is beaker and scooter now.

( there's a picture attached of two full-grown squidges, apparently holding hands and puzzling over a plant native to Zeta-12. be glad it's text mode, or Peter might be getting misty about his alien baby. )

ive learned that there is no such thing as protecting someone from the truth. im going to miss my friends. i already miss some of them that have transferred. im going to miss my boyfriend, though he may or may not kill me for using that word and then i wont have to miss anybody. and... i think woodhurst is always going to stick with me the most.

so, thats me. im sure we all have our own stories. id like to hear them, if you wanna share.

wringgling day, huh? haha. thats a good word for it

& yeah... i'll miss him, but i dont have to miss him yet

zeta 12 was something else... i wonder if we'll ever need to go back there to check up on them. ... perdition was pretty cool, at least to start. i feel like i say that about a lot of our missions
i hope we get some less intense ones, i feel like we are due for it

[fintastic]

That's what we call it! 38) I have to at least try and pretend I'm a troll still and not just a human in a weird costume.

We definitely deserve a nicer mission, though. Shoot outs, zombies, space prison... why can't we have a beach mission? Or a fish mission? ...a fisshion??

[webdesigned]

im not a troll, but wriggling is pretty apt, even for human babies. theres only so much you can do when you are a that young, theres a lot of wriggling involved

fisshion, huh? give me a pirate ship & I am in
fun pirates. not the missing all their teeth pillaging kind, because thats heading in the wrong direction again

[fintastic]

I know, I know, it was a stretch... if I can find a pirate ship, though, you will definitely be my first mate! I hope you know how to sail a boat though. Because I don't!

We will be the coolest, funnest pirates -----EV-ER.

i know nothing about sailing, but i will learn, just to earn my first mate title

funrates, if you will. maybe palriates
ok im not great at puns but i am trying here

[fintastic]

No, pal-rates is good! At least you tried. 38)

You will learn in time, and then you will be an expert punner, like me!

[webdesigned]

i will be your padawan

your punawan perhaps

[fintastic]

I think

You will have to explain that one to me!

[webdesigned]

padawan = student, basically

its from... well, dont worry about it, but thats what it means

[fintastic]

Heheh, okay! I'll take your word for it! Anyone who can apperchiate a good fish pun must be trustworthy!

[webdesigned]

finally someone appreciates my puns, i gotta say i havent been feeling the love lately

[fintastic]

Yes, I know this feeling. 38( As an art form, it is very often... PUNderappreciated.

[webdesigned]

people think its all pun and games, but having a good one at almost every occasion is really hard work

dont worry your puns are always welcome with me.
