It would appear that I will not be returning to classes at TTU tomorrow. Apparently the school looks down on using underclassmen in your experiments no matter how willing they seem. Ah well, back to Radiant Garden for the moment, it's truly for the best.

To you... I am sorry

I am well aware that I have not updated this in quite sometime. I tend to get pulled into my work and lose track of time and the date. I have aslo been away from campus, though I highly doubt that anyone noticed my absence as the only person that would seems to have been distracted by other things.

It would appear that my roommate is back. Was a bit of a shock to actually go back to my dorm and find someone else there. He wasn't the person I was hoping to see in my room, but Mer seems to have taken a liking to his kittens so I suppose that I can't protest his arrival too much.

As for you, I have what you wanted. No, I'm not proud of how I acquired said items, but I do have them in my possession. Just name a place and I will deliver them, though a few moments alone would be a plus to where we would be meeting.

It appears I have been rather lax on updating this yet again. It seems as if everyone prefers journal interactions to personal ones.

Summer is in full swing and I have yet to do anything even remotely vacation related. My time has been spent in the lab as there is no such thing as "summer vacation" for graduate students in my field of study. Ah, such is the life.

I'll admit that I have been considering a move off campus. It would be much quieter, yet I'm afraid it would make me even more anti-social than I am now and I would not be comfortable being so far from my experiments and projects.

I have discovered that I much prefer the warm summers of Twilight Town to the unbearable heat and humidity that are synonymous with Radiant Garden summers. I don't actually mind the summers here which is nice because I hate being hot.

So far, this has been a rather pleasant summer. Steps forward with my experiments, no Master DiZ breathing over my shoulder every few seconds, and sexual satisfaction. Of course, things never last very long for me, so we shall see how long it lasts this time.

I am still having those dreams, though they are beginning to get more vivid and real and there are times that I can't seem to wake from them. It is a rather uncomfortable experience to be unable to wake from a dream. I just wish they'd stop, I have no reason to be dreaming of this person.

( [Private to Saix] )

I do believe Master DiZ is slightly worried about me. He keeps insisting that I go to the doctor because, in his words, I am "obviously in pain." He only found this out when clasped my shoulder when I wasn't expecting it and I winced. He doesn't understand that these are wounds I would never complain about. I encouraged them, but that is a detail he doesn't need to know.

Xigbar, it was nice to see you this morning and I noticed that Master DiZ dragged you away for a talk. I do apologize for that... once he gets started, he doesn't stop. I think he just likes to hear himself speak.

...

I do apologize for the fact that, for the first time in my life, I'm going to use an emoticon.

-______________-

That pretty much describes my feelings right now. Xigbar, that trip to RG is no longer necessary for me because Master DiZ has decided to come here. He is giving a lecture on campus this weekend and is insistant on seeing what I'm working on. He will not be pleased that I have had to start over, though I have witnessed him do it more than once so he shouldn't complain too much.

I think I have had the most amusing afternoon I've had since arriving at TTU. Though, it does mean that Mer is not very pleased with me, but she will survive. I do not want a roomfull of kittens. Though, from my browsings of a few of the other journals, it seems that my roommate is planning on coming home with two kittens? Interesting...

Mer had a rather uneventful vet visit this morning to be desexed. Now, she is wobbling around the dorm room thanks to the anesthesia and the pain medication. I keep putting her in her bed and she keeps hopping out of it to find her toys that she batts around for two seconds before running into the wall/dresser/over her own four feet. I should not be laughing this hard at the utterly confused look on her face, but I'm having a heartless bastard moment, I'm allowed those.

It's times like these that I wish I had a video camera.

Saix-

You claimed you were only leaving for the weekend, yet you have not returned to campus. Is everything okay at home? I do not mean to sound like an overprotective lover, but not hearing a word from you does have me a bit worried. Friends do worry about one another, correct? (Forgive me if I'm wrong, it has been far too long since I've had anyone I could consider a friend.)

Be back on campus soon or you will be punished and we both know how much you enjoyed that last time.

Vaan- you'll notice that Mer will be in our room more than usual. She is not under any circumstances allowed out of the room. She is being punished due to an incident in the lab yesterday. Cat hair does not do well in experiments. Also, do not feed her or allow her any water after midnight. Her food and water bowls are empty for a reason as she has a vet visit tomorrow and will not be very happy when she returns.

Xigbar- any word on the Radiant Garden trip now that you're free. I've been reading through the blogs on here and it seems that congratulations are in order.

Hmm, I suppose since this is supposed to be a journal of sorts, maybe I should use it to help organize my thoughts. I am a scientist, therefore, I like lists.

-->Experiments are not going so well at the moment. One step forward, two steps applies times ten to scientific work.
-->I'm still having these dreams, though little things are starting to become more clear.
-->There's a person in my dreams with eyes the exact color of mine and I've never seen that before... to be honest, it's kind of creepy
-->I'm thinking about a short trip to Radiant Garden sometime this summer.
-->There are certain things I can get freely there that just might be illegal here... there too, but Master DiZ has his ways
-->My roommate is still alive, how disappointing
-->Mer has taken over his bed. This amuses me.
-->I've become used to something and now that I can't get it, it's making me crabby and distracting me from my work.
-->Damn you hormones.
-->I just realized I haven't eaten in two days. I should find food.

I have all of my things packed and ready to move to my new room. This is not going to be a pleasant summer. I seem to be stuck with the bounciest and happiest person on campus. I must remind myself that I should not use my roommate as an unwilling experiment when he's sleeping. Even if he says yes in his sleep, it doesn't count because he isn't conscious. Damn

I should enjoy my peace and quiet while it lasts

I see the new room assignments are up.

Lovely


Oh and, tomorrow night? The usual spot?

This has been one of the most interesting weeks I've had in quite a while. There have been many impressive breakthroughs in my experiments. Some not as good as others, but science is a fickle mistress and we are only her servants. Ah well, back to the grindstone tomorrow morning, the semester may be over this week, but a scientists work is never done!

I'm not going to name names, but you know who you are. You were right about tonight, we both needed that. At least I know I did. We should do it again sometime.

I seem to be having those dreams again. It's odd, they all seem to start out the same. There's a faceless child by the name of Xehanort and it feels as if I know him. Then, there's a large explosion and the dream just goes black and that's when I wake up. I've been having this dream irregularly for the past several years, but they've become more frequent lately, even to the point of being annoying.

The semester is almost over and Master DiZ has suggested that I assist him in his lab during the summer. I don't think that would be a wise idea. My experiments do not stop simply because the school semester is over. I'm working on something... something that could be very useful if it actually works. It is still in the early stages of development, but things look promising. I just need a few things... I've noticed that a few students are involved in things of the questionable nature as well as the medical field. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

It appears I have been quite lax on updating this journal. My work does keep me quite busy, though I do suppose that is no excuse since I do have my laptop permanently attached to my hands.

I have been getting out more lately... though there are two underclassmen that are to blame for that as the lab was uninhabitable for a week after the April Fool's day issue. I'm just glad the fumes didn't cause any ill effects on my projects.

I found myself back in Radiant Garden over Easter. Master DiZ insisted that I be there to meet some very influential donors to his work. It wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be thankfully. But here I am, back at TTU and back to living in the lab with only a kitten for company. Better than nothing I guess.

I have been informed by some that I need to be more sociable and update this useless journal more often.

Though, I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to say. Most of my work is completely confidential, therefore I cannont discuss it with anyone. I spend long hours going to class and stay in the lab all night. Thus is the life of a science major.

It's weird though. I have been having these odd dreams about a child named Xehanort. I have never heard of this person, so I'm not quite sure why I'm dreaming about him.

I will admit that I see this journal as the most pointless thing ever. It forces small talk on students that would never talk to each other. Fake friendships are formed and those involved get hurt. I've been informed by the sight of many banners around campus that Valentine's Day is coming up. That's another useless thing. A holiday created by the chocolate and greeting card companies to fill the months between Christmas and Easter. I'm quite surprised that they haven't come up with a new holiday for the summer months. It is all a ploy to get unsuspecting consumers to spend more money. A ploy that works quite well.

I see a great amount of pointless Valentine's graphics have gone up in the other journals. I will be spending Valentine's Day like I do every day. Alone and in my lab working. The rest of it is pointless.

Would anyone happen to know where I can get my hands on some hearts...?

There's nothing to see here, move along.
