Dear Diary,

I have some news to tell you, it will indeed be exciting to you. Though to me it is more mildly amusing. You always seem to get more joy out of the things that happen in my life than I do. I wonder why that is? You seem pretty inanimate to me, yet here I can feel your excitement radiating off of the page and I have yet to even write my news down. I will not keep you in suspense any longer. Today while I was just sitting in the courtyard minding my own business like I like to do. A small girl approached me, though she was much the same size as me I still think I would consider her small. Her name was Gwen and she proceeded to tell me all bout how she was a scientist, of course this seemed strange to me that someone so young would call themselves a scientist. Though I do suppose anyone that does science at any age is a scientist. It's not like with me, I can't go around telling everyone I am a doctor because I am sure that they will give me the strangest looks! Either way we sat there talking for a while and I do think that I can call her my friend now. So how is that, you thought I could never do it didn't you. You thought I would be a little gloomy hermit for life. Well I proved you wrong I do have a friend, though she might be a bit of an odd ball at times I think I am quite fond of her. She isn't like the other girls I've known growing up. Gwen is far more sensible and forward, she seems to speak whats on her mind without a care int the world. Much like me I know, I do wonder though if that bluntness will cause a rift in our friendship going on. You know something crazy though she doesn't like food, she said it was because of her race. What a strange race that must be. I'm not sure how I feel about a race that doesn't enjoy food! Not even hot sauce! Yes I know it seems a little thing for me to be stuck on but it really does make me wonder about her. You know how much I love to help mother cook, I couldn't imagine having a girlfriend who wouldn't be able to fully enjoy my cooking. I guess it is a silly thing to fret about for one so young. I have a future to look forward to though, I am not going to stay a freshling forever you know. Enough about Gwen though, I know I seem to rant on. I am not so sure about this whole world below. My mother ensured us that it would be a fun place. So far all it has done is strain my eyes trying to tell the difference between objects, it's so dark all the time the range of shades that my eyes can see seems to have lowered. For example I could normally tell between an object that is "orange" and one that is "purple" though I may not be able to tell you for certain that one object is orange I know that it is for sure not purple (or if it is a lighter shade of purple) here everything is so dark orange might as well be purple. I am glad I don't have to embarrass myself with Art classes. It helps to not want to do anything to do with art. I think that is all the news that I have for right now. I will write again once I have more to say!

Liath.

(I will be writing these posts after every finished rp, or anything I determine to be news worthy. All will be 500+ words so once I turn the thread in each post will be worth a point.)
