I never really knew my parents. I didn't even know who my father was until recently.

My mother died when I was very little. I've often wondered what my life might have been like if she hadn't.

I've been thinking about the people I fought during the latest draft. The people I killed. I've been wondering if they have children too. If because of me those children will also grow up lonely.

I really wish Dog was here. She's my best friend from back home. She'd know what to say. She always does. It doesn't always make sense, but that doesn't really matter most of the time.

I don't know why I'm writing this. I suppose I just had to get it out, and I'm not very good at talking. Except for with Dog. I could talk to her for hours.

I miss her so much.

That's all, really. Sorry if you just read this and feel like I wasted your time. I didn't mean to.

If you say so. It definitely wouldn't be what I picked.

[keyandstar]

What would you pick? I mean, if you could look however you wanted.

Babe, I already look exactly the way I want to.

written

[keyandstar]

Babe? I'm nineteen years old.

[ Not so good with the modern slang, no. ]

[originaljackass]

[And he's a thousand-ish years old. He can call anyone babe. Except he doesn't quite get the complaint.]

Congratulations?

[keyandstar]

Why would you call me a babe?

written

[originaljackass]

It's a Mundy thing. Let's call it a term of endearment.

written

[keyandstar]

Oh. That's a little odd. Then again so is calling people sweet when you think about it.

written

[originaljackass]

Yeah, it's a real mystery. But people who sit around thinking about the intricacies of language are boring pencilpushers that never get laid.

[keyandstar]

I'm assuming then that you are the opposite of all that?

written

[originaljackass]

I'm Jack Horner. I never pencilpush.

Besides right now. I think my hand is getting a cramp.

We can switch to voice or video if you want to.
