Your Journal - Online!

Social networks like Facebook, Twitter and Dreamwidth help to let people express their opinions and thoughts to others across distances. Imagine if there were such a network for our roleplay characters. Well, now there is! Welcome to Journal Online, the #1 place on the Internet to keep a journal. Everyone's on it, yes, even your character.

You better hope they use it wisely!


How to play -

1. Top-level with your character. Include prefs and the like, if you wish.
2. Furthermore, include a journal entry that your character has written to Journal Online, as minimalistic or fancy as you'd like to do it. It can be about anything, a list over what they ate this morning? Cool! A long essay about their day at school/work? Amazing! A random question that's popped into their head? Give it! Sky's the limit.
3. Other characters write comments and questions on your character's online journal entry. Chat it out!
4. Be entertained!

Kinda didn't have a super-great day today. Mother gave me another lecture about "lady-like" presentation and behavior and misgendered me a bunch again. Someone in class pulled at my pigtails AGAIN, and training at P.E. got really rough today. I turned out fine but I wish some of the stronger boys would cut the weaker and less experienced ones a break, they need help learning and training, not just being beaten on and made fun of...

then again, I'm class rep so I tend to worry about others in class more than most... I guess we all can't be as lazy as Karma-kun can be.

I'm tired.

[discutting]

Hold on. Hold on hold on hold on.

What's that about your mom?

[knifesmiles]

See, I'm a boy, but, one look at me and you could probably tell why my gender can be confusing to a lot of folks, given the pigtails and my feminine figure for a boy.

[He links to a school selfie for reference.]

My mother... she wanted a girl, you see. So she treats me as one, including calling me by feminine pronouns and language and referring to me as "her daughter". The reason for the pigtails is my mother insists I keep my hair a certain length to present "as a girl should". So if I can't cut my hair, I'm going to at least style it in a way that's comfortable and appealing to me. However, Mother tells me to put my hair down when I'm around her.

She can also get angry and yell at me a lot and be abusive when I resist her at all.

I...I hope that clears things up.

[discutting]

Kid, just an advice- once you're able to run from your mom- DO IT. Do everything you can to cut her out of your life. If you keep it that way, it's gonna make you miserable.

[knifesmiles]

Why do you think I put off going home for as long as I can and only spent as much time with her as I absolutely have to? I'm more comofortable when I'm at school or spending time with my friends, anyway.

My teachers treat me better than any of my family, even with the strangeness of my school situation and the assassin stuff, anyway, even if the others at school can be rough, too.

[discutting]

(He's gonna let the assassin stuff slide. Mostly because he's also in a weird situation himself.)

Well, at least you got a positive outlet. Not many people has that, you know.

[knifesmiles]

It wasn't always like that. It probably had a lot to do with ending up being shoved in the school's misfit/problem student classroom.

Before ending up in E-Class, I used to feel like nobody paid any attention to me, other than to mistreat me. But then I met my new friends and classmates.... and HE became my teacher. It's been a big help, having a teacher who actually cares and looks at you head-on. And having classmates who don't "fit" too, even if some of them are the "lash out" or "mean" types.

They're still way better than the much meaner popular and successful types I dealt with before. delinquent rough types are easier to get along with than popular ones on high-horses that think they're better than you in every way.

[discutting]

Sometimes things are a blessing in disguise, and you gotta take advantage of it.

Took me a while to get that lesson.

Everyone else needs to just stop talking to Mana so much! Mana is mine, why do all of these other people think they can just take her from me! Even my own sister does it! Their nerve!

Sorry about Shu, he's got issues. If it's a little too much, tell me!

[outofthedarkprison]

Because this Mana is her own person- a living, breathing human who is no one's property, as all humans should be.

Oh this sounds good!

[selfishregina]

Excuse me? When did I ever claim her to be my property? I'm not a monster! But she should have no need to leave me alone and be with those useless people! Hmph

[outofthedarkprison]

I stand by my first reaction, speaking from experience.

[selfishregina]

Oh shut up! You clearly don't anything about me or Mana, so why should I care at all about your view on how I am with her? I love her and that's what's important!

[outofthedarkprison]

Perhaps I should start from the beginning. How old are you, and what makes you believe only one person can make you happy?

[selfishregina]

I'm 14! And Mana is the only one who has ever been able to bring me happiness, so I'd think it's pretty self apparent there, hmph.

[outofthedarkprison]

Well then, let an adult 10 years your elder give you advice- one person alone cannot make you happy, and if you only depend on one person, you're bound to end up in a very ugly situation when that one person leaves you because you refuse to give them space.

Speaking from experience.

[selfishregina]

10 years my elder? That means absolutely nothing, if you think that she'd ever entirely abandon me. She's done nothing but stick with me, no matter what I've done after all:..

[outofthedarkprison]

And what makes you think she agrees with everything you do? After all, the biggest betrayal comes from those you think most loyal, and you can never know what someone is thinking behind your back... Waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike when your guard is at its lowest.

Not to mention that 14 years old is way too young to decide one's future. The world shifts and changes, and so does one's brain...

[selfishregina]

Oh will you stop acting like you have any idea what you're talking about already?! I never would even dare to think she agreed with everything I've ever done! Not after being her opponent for so long and pushing her away to not have to think about her!

[outofthedarkprison]

...My, if this doesn't feel familiar. Somehow.

Well, then, perhaps I'll add on a different type of advice- those whom you call 'useless' might be more interesting than you assume, and family is chosen, not born into it.

[selfishregina]

Oh what nonsense. I know as much about those four as I would ever need to, and my Mana is clearly the most interesting one, who I personally decided to seek out and make her be my friend! As for family not being something you're born with, not everyone can choose, especially with my circumstances regarding what I am.

I see little point in writing down the thoughts or daily escapades of myself, unless I count that one time back in Rivain with that spicy little number at the docks. Maybe next time when I have the energy to relive that moment.

I suppose for now I will wash up and look for some new under clothes tomorrow. This is the third time this month that the blood has seeped through the leathers, and there is only so much one can do to get out the stains.

Perhaps a drink before bed, even if the wine here is subpar at best. And maybe a cheese tray.

Maker, I didn't realize I was so hungry.

No work on Cybuster today, due to unforeseen circumstances involving Masaki's prana. He apologized, saying how important it was to get Cybuster running again, but I told him that it's far more important that we focus on everything with a clear mind, and that we have more than enough time to fix our problem.

I do worry that this is taking quite the toll on him. Perhaps later today, I should suggest doing something distractible, a little something to help his morale. It's the very least I can do to help him during these times.

* finish piecing on three casual dresses
* draft pattern for Dizzy's birthday dress
* appt: 2pm fitting: Bash - note: do not let him near large shiny objects
* call Snow re: baking party
* check-in with SnS re: classes
* steam and package Lonnie's new dress outfit for festival in Northern Wei

And this is all before lunch. Whew! At least I've got a gooseberry pie to eat after lunch. I'll need the sugar rush. I'm not writing it all here yet. If I did, I think I might curl up in a corner and cry under the weight of the workload. :( It's a lot harder now that Dizzy's back in classes. I've lost my my apprentice for now.

Ravage | Transformers IDW (AU, not dead)

[dontpetmeibite]

So, hello there, journal friends--believe it or not, I'm not dead. The last time I posted I was still on the Lost Light. Not any more. I hitched a ride to Sanctuary Station on the WAP and came home.

I couldn't stay there any longer. Megatron as good as confessed to me that he's going along with all the side trips and silliness because he thinks they might prolong his life a little longer. My brilliant suggestion that if he didn't want to be executed, he shouldn't be living on a ship full of Autobots, went unheeded.

Finally I asked him what he thought would happen to me after the mission was over. He did not have an answer for that one. I will always be his amica, but I told him I couldn't stick around just to watch the Autobots kill him, but only if the DJD didn't get to both of us first. Then I got hold of Misfire.

Howlback actually put me into the brig when I arrived at the Station and made me sit there until Soundwave came in, opened the door to my cell, and carried me back to our hab.

I'm not getting the warmest welcome I could've hoped for. Soundwave has loved me since we were squatters in the Dead End. At least a third of the people here think Soundwave was a fool to take me back at all, let alone announce his intention to begin the Four Acts. These new people have no idea that neither of us would have lived to see the end of our first hundred years if we hadn't stayed together. We should have been conjunxes four million years ago but it was against the law back then.

That afthelm Riptide asked me who I'd choose, if I had to; it was one of the crassest and most impertinent questions I've ever been asked, but everyone knows what the answer is now. I don't get to hide in the shadows any more.
