August 5th, 2004Quote: Almost two am and I haven't gone to bed yet. Too much soda. I don't know why I drink it so often. If this entry seems a bit... fragmented, it's because of my mood. I'm a little depressed. I felt a little shunned out as the evening came. I don't know.
Neo's been up to something. I can tell because he's been grinning nonstop all day and giggling. The bulb hangs out still and it hasn't shown any signs of getting ready to reveal my new Notion, and it doesn't seem effected by Neo's personality either. That's a good thing. I'm hoping it'll be a good Notion to counter his personality. But I don't mind, either way. I'm excited even if it doesn't show very often.
"I guess I can go work on Bear Cub's gift," he muses to himself, trying to ponder up things to do in the time it'd take him to fall asleep.
"Yeah, you do that," stated a grinning Neo, again giggling at his thinker. Tail sways as the little creature is sitting atop of the shelf, having been reading Toushin's entry. He was just feeding off the negative energy and loving it, along with the information he was holding.
Toushin rolled his eyes at the Notion's comment, pushing his chair out and rising to his feet. "Whatever, man," he replies, voice quiet and agitated. Without another word he left the room.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Toushin Toushin decided it was time to go and see Precious. It was late at night, sure, but he didn't have anything else to do and he wanted to talk to someone. So, after making himself look somewhat decent -- combing his hair and washing his face to be exact -- he left the apartment with Notion bulb floating around his head and Neo sitting on his shoulder.
Neo had decided to go along for the ride. He had nowhere else to go and if he couldn't corrupt Toushin's bulb, maybe he could do that to hers. Besides, he was interested in seeing what would happen.
"You didn't have to come," he stated when he got to her door, glancing momentarily at the Notion.
"Oh, I know but I decided to anyway. Why, got a problem?" he replied in an almost rude manner.
"No," he states in absolutely no mood to get into an argument with the little thing. Up goes a hand, knocking lightly at her door just in case she was asleep.
Meanwhile Neo has started to hum.. a rather annoying song if anyone could pick up the tune. He's even bobbing his head back and forth from side to side, the tune getting higher and higher with each verse.
Precious Flame Hearing a knocking at her door, PF quickly snapped out of her horrible posture and got out of her chair to go see who it was. She peered through the eyehole and saw a rather disturbing black eye staring right back at her. "AHHH!" Reeling back, panting, and near having a nervous breakdown, she asked, "who is it?!?!1" After a brief moment, she heard a familiar voice, and some godawful humming. It was Toushin. She let out a sigh of relief, and unlocked her door, letting him in. She immediately noticed that he had a glowing lightbulb as well, along with... the source of the earsplitting humming. "....." she stared blankly at Neo, hoping he'd shut up. Toushin Gets dragged to the headquarters as she Precious realizes that her bulb is litten up.((Meaning we'll continue there. e_e; )) Precious Flame Having just left her apartment, PF wanders in with a glowing bulb next to her head, looking almost devastated. "It's been following me for days now!" she whines to Youko, looking for some advice as to what she should do about it. OniAja Dusting off the shelves a bit, Oni sneezes a bit, he just about drops his duster as Jigsaw zings past him. "Hey, there is life in this place after all." Penn sat contently in a dusty chair, playing with the dander, "What? no more setting the closet on fire, Oni?""Quiet you." Precious Flame "ARRHH!!! It's pissing me off, I want to just grab it and throw it at something! Maybe it'll break. >:/..... but... wait.... no... that'd be bad >_<;; I might hurt something, or.. what if it's alive?!?" She pondered some more, arguing with herself. Toushin Before he had even time to think, PF had snagged him and dragged him here. "..Can you let me go of my arm now?" A brow raises, trying rather pitifully to pull his arm free of her grasp as she fights with herself on a decision as to what to do with the bulb. OniAja Penn blinked and hopped out of the chair, dusting himself off as he slinked over to PF, "You poor sweet creature, this awful thing must have bothered you so much. Glowing right next to your head like that an all." He purred smoothly only to get a pillow to the back of his head."Stop flirtting with my boss, an' do your job.." Oni grumbled flicking his tail. Grumbling himself, Penn grabbed the libeghtbulb near PF's head, giving her a winning smile. "Let's make this more presentable for a vision such as yourself~<3" Precious Flame Squinting an eye, PF looks at Penn, wondering what he was talking about. She saw him grab ahold of the lightbulb that was scorching hot to her, without any reaction that notified her of pain. He was a smooth talker, and she was amused, but... what was he doing? o.O Toushin Tugs at his arm as PF has yet to acknowledge him. "Um.. Bear Cub. neutral Yer cutting off the circulation here." Precious Flame Breaking her trance, she stopped staring at the glowy Penn, and looked up towards Tou. "...a..ahaha...haha. ;_; I'm sorry!" She still doesn't let go, and instead latches on with both arms. OniAja Like a skilled magician, Penn flicks his wrist, setting the new Notions free. "Abracadrabra~."POP Toushin He got her attention, and exhales, expecting to have his arm free but only to have it get latched on by her other one. "x_x; It's okay." Other arm reaches over to pat her on the head. Neo hums a little louder, having not stopped the entire time."...NEO!" he snaps at him. "Whaaaaaaat?!"Precious Flame PF stared in awe, looking at the two gorgeous creatures that had come from the lightbulb. "O_O wha..... o...oh....uhhhh...." "What're you 'oh oh ohhing' about lady?" the red one said in a british accent, rolling its eyes at her. "Be nice! She doesn't know much about us yet!!" the other one responded to it. They proceeded to bicker amongst themselves as PF still kept the dumbfounded expression on her face, and her arms stayed latched around Toushin's sleeve. Toushin He saw the Notions pop out, perked a brow as they started to bicker, not even really acknowledging their thinker. "Eh.. Say something to them," he suggests, nudging her with the shoulder she's attached to. Precious Flame "Uhm.. uhmm..." she nervously stammered, not knowing exactly how to respond to the two. "D..Do you guys have names or something? ._." She asked quietly, not wanting to alarm them. "Names? Of course we have names you bloody mongrel! That doesn't mean we have to tell you though!" The orange notion proceeded to float out in front of the haughty red one, smiling at PF. "That's Harlem... he's a little mean, but he'll lighten up once he gets used to you biggrin and.. I'm Shake. Nice to meet you!" Precious Flame *writing up stuff for journalchans* Finally snapping out of her trance and becoming more aware of her surroundings, looks up at Toushin again and lets go of his arm. "eeek sorry ;A; I just got nervous monkeyman! <3" she exclaims as he rubs it sorely. Shifting her glance over to Harlem and Shake, the two notions fly over to her left and right shoulders, respectively. They hover next to her head, and begin bickering again. "What the bloody hell is this place, a zoo? It's chaotic! Just look at that green one over there, he has to be a psycho.""Oh lighten up Harl, I'm sure they'll be fine once we start talking to them! Let's go say hello!""Stop being so ignorant, can't you see? I think it's neurotic.""But.. but..""Just sod off."And with that, Harlem wandered over to a bookcase and began pulling out books and throwing them on the ground, making loud thuds, while Shake wandered over to Freud. Toushin Toushin is finally free of her grasp, and he rubs at his sore arm. She certainly had a grip on her. Neo is still humming, which isn't a good thing.."Stop it, Neo. I'm serious." Immediately the Notion went silent. "Oh.. okay." He did, after all, feed on Toushin's thoughts and the current ones were telling him things weren't looking good. He knew when to stop."Thank you," he replied in the best voice he could muster without sounding sarcastic. He then turns his attention on Precious. "I'll see you later. I'm heading back to my place. Come on, Neo." He started to head out, not even sure if she'd hear him over the noise of her two Notions. "But--""Now, please."
Now here he was back at his apartment with Neo and the bulb following. Neo hadn't said a word, and Toushin was thankful for that. He didn't need to hear any of his badgering. Down onto the couch Toushin goes, flopping and setting his feet on the table.
Neo had indeed been quiet and still was. He floats down onto the top of the couch, sitting next to Toushin's head. He's rubbing his hands together and finally speaks, "Why didn't you stay?" Was that genuine concern in his voice? It sounded like it. Yeah, so Neo liked feeding on the bad energy but sometimes you get stuffed and you don't like what you're feeding on.
"Just didn't feel it," he answered, tone suggesting he wasn't in the mood to talk about whatever was on his mind. He snatches up a nearby book, opening it to start reading. This is how he tries to make himself feel better, by immersing his mind into something other than his own problems.
"Oh." That's all he said, nodding his head slightly, letting his arms fall back. He went quiet again, deciding he wasn't going to probe about his thinker's mood. Who knew how he would react? Just like Neo, Toushin was always turning his emotional knobs in different directions. "...Are you gonna be okay?"
Toushin was actually albeit taken aback by this inquiry of concern. He closes the book, setting it on his lap and turning to look at the Notion. He offers a smile, a small one. "Yeah, I'll be fine. I probably just need some sleep."
"Maybe you should go?"
He shakes his head, looking away. "Nah.. not tired enough yet. Chances are I'll pass out on here anyway so it's fine."
"All right." He wasn't going to argue.

August 6th, 2004Quote: My stomach feels like it's in a huge knot. It hurts to move and I'm coughing pretty hard. I think it's safe to say I'm getting sick... Quote: I felt a lot better later on when I grabbed a snack: Oreos. Yummy. I loitered around for most of the evening though until I went out and bought some pizza. I didn't feel like cooking tonight and there wasn't much to cook to begin with. Now, here I am, holed up in my apartment with nothing to do, writing in my journal.
I saw Precious last night, or rather, very early this morning. As some of you know I help her out with the CapraCans, as she calls them. Madmartigan, my own, went through a strange mutation. He's hovering at my shoulder right now as we speak. I haven't been much for talking though, with anyone. She never mentioned anything to me regarding her Notions either. The bad one seems to be a definite troublemaker; I won't be surprised if him and Neo get along.
"Eh, what do you think we should do tonight Neo?" He inquired to the Notion who was dancing around on a Gameboy, playing it as if it were a Dance Dance Revolution machine.
"Whatever you want but not until after I finish this game here," he replied, twisting about to slam a foot down on the A button while the other, along with a hand, were using the directional pad.
Toushin heard a familiar tolling, and tilts his head up to look. It was now the seventh.

Straightening her shirt out a little and popping a stick of gum in her mouth, PF rings the doorbell to Tou's apartment, hoping he isn't busy or have any other guests over.
"You're nervous, eh?"
"..what? No!"
"Psh, riiiight... whatever you say lass, I've got you all figured out."

Toushin had been asleep, his head hanging over the back of the couch with Neo sprawled out on his forehead doing the same thing. The bulb glowing dimly, merely dangling about. However when he hears the doorbell, he jumps up, throwing Neo off and the bulb brightening then dimming.
"Ugh... what?" He mumbles, wiping at his eyes to try and rub the sleep out of them, forcing himself to his feet.
Neo had flown a few feet and crashed into the TV screen with enough force to send it tipping but not exactly falling over. Thank god! Toushin would've been pissed. "What the hell was that for?!" he screeched loudly, shooting up into the air and zipping towards Toushin to give him a swift kick in the head.
"HEY!" he snaps, jerking his head towards him as he tries to fix the panda hat. "It was an accident! You shouldn't be sleeping on my face anyway." Muttering he makes his way to the door and without taking a look through the peep hole to see who it is, he opens it.... standing there in boxers, slippers, and a tank top. A blink seeing it's Precious. "Oh, hey." He smiles.

Surprised at his attire, PF stared, gawking, until Shake came and pushed her jaw back up to its rightful position. She continued to just stand there stupidly, until Harlem decided he should just invite himself in. "Out of my way, you dumb bloke." the red notion mumbles as he pushes past Toushin.
"Oh.. o_o hi. Sorry.. did I uh.. wake you?" PF stammers, trying to gain her composure. What was wrong wrong with her? It must be the lack of sleep. Noticing the uncomfortable aura she was emitting, Shake immediately jumped to greet the strange man in his heart boxers, giggling a bit. "Hiii, I'm Shake! What's YOUR name?"

Toushin wasn't actually aware of what he was wearing.. that is until she stared at him like he had a bogie (or boogar for those who don't know the english term for it) on his forehead. "What..?" A glance down then he realizes what he's wearing. "s**t!" A loud curse, immediately feeling rather embarrassed. He hadn't been expecting company or else he would've stayed in his clothes.
He steps back just in time as the red Notion goes flying in.
Neo's floating behind Toushin and doesn't see the other one bump into him. "HEY! Watch it, jackass!" he snapped, shoving at the red Notion with a scowl.
He turns to look at the two as he knows a fight is about to erupt. "Neo! You're like a little kid, back off!" A growl, his face heated with both anger and embarrassment but he's hoping to pass it off as the former to her. He looks back, opening his mouth to respond when the other Notion flies in front of his face. Blinking wide eyes then arching a brow above one he replies, "I'm Toushin.." He looks around Shake at her thinker. "And uh, no, you didn't," he answers, obviously lying. The door is pushed open. "Come on in... I just need to get some pants on."

"Shut yer festering gob you oversized turquoise cuntrat!" Harlem retorted, shoving Neo right back.
Gawking at the notion's potty mouth, PF grabbed him up and engulfed his head in her hand, as he made muffled noises, and his fists kept flying around trying to hit something. "Ahaharrr... someone has a lot of pent up frustration there!!" PF exclaims, not wanting to offend Toushin's notion. "WELL, I uh... better get going, I didn't mean to bother you Monkeyman, I'm just uh... gonna go. See you!"
She rushes out the door, red faced and embarassed at Harlem's behavior. As they get back to her own door, she finally lets go of his head. "LET ME AT HIM!!!1 DON'T HOLD ME BACK LADY" he yells, then becomes aware of his new surroundings and crosses his arms as his eyes narrow. He growls a bit and as soon as the door swings open he flies through, rushes to PF's desk, opens up a desk drawer, and locks himself in, mumbling to himself about how he would have won the fight.

"Why, you stupid lovesick british twit!" snaps Neo, eyes flaring as he rolls up a fist, swings the arm back and goes to take a punch when Harlem is snagged by PF. "Let me at him! I'll kick his sheep horned, prissy a**!"
"NEO!" Toushin snaps right back at him, and the Notion immediately silences, and before he has a chance to react, Precious is gone. A blink, watching as her shadow takes off down the hall and furrowing his brows. He closes the door, locking it then leans up against it. "How embarrassing," he mutters, shaking his head before heading to his room to write about it in his journal.

Precious Flame Journal; August 7, 2004Dear Shabooboo,
A couple of days ago, Toushin came over, but as soon as I opened the door, my bulb got really bright and I immediately rushed over to go see Oni after hearing about her notion headquarters. I latched on to Tou's arm (which I must say, felt quite nice... mmh muscles... ;9... er I mean. AHhh. >_>) and dragged him with me to HQ. The next thing I knew, I had two bickering creatures fighting right in front of my face! They were gorgeous though, I love their patterns! I was introduced to the chaos that is the notion HQ, met some other owners, and my Shake seemed to be particularly afraid of that Freud character. Harlem on the other hand was more antisocial, and ended up destroying property by dropping heavy books on the ground and ripping out pages. Freud managed to burn some of my hair off, resulting in this new haircut... At first I was devastated, but now I'm actually liking it a little. I was so caught up in all the action that I didn't even notice Toushin leaving... I should drop by and check up on him. Yeah, I think I'll do that... except.. agh, I look like s**t! I better go get made up. >_<PF stopped writing and carelessly tossed the notebook on her bed without looking to see it land, and searched for a hairpin or some makeup in her drawers. "What're you lookin' for there, missy?" Harlem questioned, puffing up a bit and crossing his arms. "Oh uh... nothing." PF got up and went in the bathroom, prettying herself up a bit in the mirror. "I think she's getting ready to go see someone... Do we get to go too, purplelady?" Shake pounced around her foundation, making powdery footprints on the sink. "Sure, you can go meet him and nis notion biggrin " "Hmph, sounds rather lame to me. Whatever, it's probably better than sitting around here." Precious Flame Straightening her shirt out a little and popping a stick of gum in her mouth, PF rings the doorbell to Tou's apartment, hoping he isn't busy or have any other guests over. "You're nervous, eh?""..what? No!" "Psh, riiiight... whatever you say lass, I've got you all figured out."Toushin Toushin had been asleep, his head hanging over the back of the couch with Neo sprawled out on his forehead doing the same thing.

August 8th, 2004Quote: It was a really long day. I was pretty busy with a lot of things to the point where I passed out in the early evening. When I returned there was a huge argument within the Norgies. It was unbelievable. I had never been so furious in my entire life but I quickly managed to calm down.
Precious and I spent some time together tonight over at the CapraCan headquarters. There was another sale tonight and the cans went to some very great owners. Did I mention that I was allowed to also give one to my friend Zero Dream in exchange for a Squeekat?
I'm not sure what I'm planning to do tonight. I know I'm gonna stay dressed just in case Precious comes over unexpectantly again. I still can't believe I answered the door in my boxers. How embarrassing. I hope it didn't scare her or anything because she left quickly. Of course, it was probably because Neo and Harlem were about to get into a fight. I don't know what their problem is but they really don't like each other. Quote: I noticed that Precious was wearing a Bammi hat. I thought it was strange and when I managed to look a little closer I noticed her hair had been cut! I can't believe I missed it. I'm a little disappointed because I like her long hair better. I'll have to ask her why she cut it. Aside from that and her new Conflicting Notions, not much else has been new around here.
With a slight shrug, he closes his book and neatly replaces it. It was a ritual for him now. Much like brushing one's teeth.
"So, what're you gonna do now?" Neo was sitting on Toushin's left shoulder, yawning as his tail sways around.
"Don't know," he answered, making his way out of the room to head to the kitchen. He opens the fridge door and pulls out a soda: Dr. Pepper. Popping open the top, he moves back to sit on the couch, setting his heels on the top of the table in front of him and then taking a swig.
"Probably just hang out here tonight. Nowhere else to go."
"Guess you're right," he mutters in agreement, wrinkling his nose. He was hoping they would have something to do but he had been with Toushin the entire time and he knows he's worn out.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Toushin Toushin had been sitting there for some time, just staring off into his space, thinking. Neo hadn't said a word, none of the animals needed tending to. He was bored. He wanted to do something.
Finally he kicked his feet up and rose up to his feet, heading to his room.
This action awoke Neo who'd been dozing in Toushin's hair. "Wha?" Blinking lazily, he watches as the scenery changes when they get into Toushin's room. "What's going on?"
"We're going out," he replies. "I don't feel like staying in tonight. Let's go get a few drinks or something. I'm sure we'll find somewhere to go." He grabs ahold of a pair of shoes, slips on a jacket, grabs his keys and wallet which is promptly attached to his pants, then heads back out of the room.
"Drinking 'ey? Sounds like fun!" replied the Notion, stretching out in Toushin's hair with a yawn.
"Yeah, loads." He opens the door, heads into the hallway, closes, and locks before making his way out. Toushin ((Continue from Toushin)) Toushin's making his way down the hall, intent to just get out of the damn building. His mood had suddenly gone sour, though Neo wasn't taking advantage of it. He's simply sitting there on Toushin's head, quiet as a mouse, which is rare.
He'd have kept on going, Toushin that is, had he not had to pass her apartment on his way to the stairs. Immediately he halts, turning to look at her door, brows furrowing. Why should he drink alone? So, frame twists to face the door, closing the few steps and gives a swift knock to it.
A confused Neo blinks, leaning over Toushin's head. "What're you doing?"
"I'm inviting her. I don't like to be by myself."
";o; But I'm here!"
"You're technically a figment of my imagination so you don't count."
"DAMNIT!"Precious Flame PF looks over at the clock on her wall, and stretches. "I think it's time for bedd...." She undresses, and goes to the bathroom to get her toothbrush. Both of her notions had already locked themselves in her drawer, and were being unusually quiet. Maybe they were sleeping. She started brushing her teeth, when she hears a knock on her door. Lazilly, she fumbles over to the door and looks through the peephole. CCRRAAAAAAAAASHHHHHHH!!!!11Her eyes widen and she falls back on the floor, knocking some books out of her bookcase. She quickly tries to gain her composure, but as she tries to get up, she manages to hit her knee against the case, and yells "SHITTT!!!" as she notices it swell up and turn red. "********. What is he doing here?" she thinks to herself. She wasn't ready for company! "Uhh... Bearcub..?" a voice, from outside her door. "Just a minute, I'll be right there!!!!!" Toothbrush in her mouth, she hobbles back to her dresser and digs through her clothes to find something to wear. ' Toushin Toushin's a patient guy. He probably shouldn't have even come so late. He's idling, waiting around for her to answer when he hears a loud crash. It causes him to jump in surprise, blinking as he stares at the door.
Brows furrowing, he calls out, "Bear Cub?" He gets an answer but now he's a little concerned. He wasn't going to be rude and open the door to go in and see if everything's all right.
"Are you sure?" he calls through the door as he hears the clattering and whatnot. "You need any help?" He felt so stupid. He probably had awaken her and she'd stumbled in the dark. If that were the case maybe he should go inside and try to help her.
A glance at the door's knob, obviously fighting with his feelings. A hand lifts, extending to touch the knob then jerk away.
Neo, however, can see the problem, and he's absolutely grinning. Tail whips about and he slides off of Toushin's head to land on his shoulder. Much like a shoulder devil, he whispers into his ear, "I think you should go in. Something could be wrong... She could be hurt, or bleeding.."
Neo's words are starting to get through to him, and he's staring at the knob, trying to figure out what he needed to do. "No," he finally answers, shaking his head firmly. "No. I'm sure she's fine. If she needs me, she'll say so."
He scowls. "Party pooper." Precious Flame After putting on some appropriate clothes, PF answered the door, breathing hard. "Heyyy Tou. What's up?" He was dressed to go out, but it was really late... she wondered what he was up to. Toushin Toushin's patient, waiting on her to answer the door. When she does, he casts a glance over at Neo. "Told you," he mumbles before focusing his attention back on her, smiling. "Sorry... I didn't mean to bother you. I just thought you might want to go do something? Y'know, get outta this place."
"Do a little smooching," adds Neo quietly, making kissy noises. Precious Flame Sweatdropping at Neo, PF scritched her head and straightened her hair out with her hands. "You didn't bother me at all! Uhmm... sure, what did you have in mind? Lemme go get ready, I won't be long." She ushers him inside. "Come in, make yourself at home! Sorry it's so messy.." Toushin He too glowered at Neo who only smiles back at the two of them with an innocent expression. "Honestly... drop it," he mutters quietly enough to where only, hopefully, the Notion would hear him.
"Oh, uh," he looks back to her, blinking. He's silent then finally rolls his shoulders in admitted defeat. "Not sure... I just thought we'd go look around, see what might be open."
Another few blinks at the offer to come in, giving nod of his head and stepping inside when she allows him to, closing door behind him. He notices the mess from when she'd fallen back, furrowing brows. Not because he doesn't like messes -- lord knows his own apartment is a pigsty waiting to happen -- but he knows it was his own fault. "It's no problem, and take your time. I'll clean this up for you though."
Without waiting for an answer from her or a debate of any kind, he does just that, kneeling down to start picking up the books that had fallen from the shelf.
Neo shoots off of Toushin's shoulder as he starts to do this, fluttering up to PF's own and grinning from horn to horn. "So, where're your little friends? Are they gonna join us? You know what they say: two's a company, three's a crowd, and anymore is just annoying."

August 9th, 2004Quote: A very late journal entry, yes, I know. I didn't wake up yesterday (August 8th) until about three thirty in the afternoon. I have no idea what came over me but I must've been pretty worn out to have slept for almost ten hours.
At first my day didn't look like anything was going to happen. I was mostly loitering around at the Penna-Avaji Aviary, keeping watch over the eggs, waiting to see if anyone else was interested in the event. One girl made a particular beautiful set of jewelery for the Pennas. I hope she decides to make more as I cannot wait to see them.
A little later on I did some trading with some people, found out that I trade I had been promised was cancelled without my knowing, and of course, I was angry. The guy keeps apologizing and he even has the gall to expect me to finish a portrait for him, despite that it's my second time doing it. This is why I hate drawing couples because they never stay together for very long, then the person comes back, bitching and moaning, acting like it's your fault and expect you to draw for them some more. Yeah, but no thanks.
As it came to dusk I had to go help someone set up a shop of theirs. I'm working there as a breeder and handler since I've dealt with them before. She's the manager, though I do most of the hard labor. Zero's helping me though so that's a good thing. Then I went on to do some more things and I've been programming a bot on my computer for someone. Let me just say it's hell because I'm an artist, not a programmer, but I figured now's the best time to learn.
So, here I am, sitting at my desk with a bottle of Coca Cola, listening to music, and writing in my journal while simultaneously working on this bot coding as well. I actually like doing this kind of thing for some reason. I guess it's the whole learning process. Not sure though. Quote: As they say: another day, another dollar, and another complainer.

August 10th, 2004Toushin woke up, glanced at a clock, fell right back to sleep. Two hours later he did the same thing... three hours later he managed to force himself out of bed to write in his journal.Quote: Today is one of those days. I'm going back to bed.
"HEY! When're you gonna get up and take me to get something to eat?! HUH HUH HUH!? You've been in bed all day, tossing and turning, and we haven't had a thing to eat! COME ON!" shouted Neo, flying over to give Toushin a swift kick in the skull in an attempt to wake him up. "I WANT FOOD!"
Toushin grunted when he was kicked but didn't budge. Instead, he lifts a hand up to wave it nonchalantly at Neo. "You have opposable thumbs, go make something. I'm too damn tired, Neo."
The Notion grumbles in frustration, flicking his tail and giving his thinker another kick though this time in the nose. "LAZY a**!"
"Bite me."

August 12th, 2004He brought himself over to his desk, rubbing at his head. He was in shorts and a somewhat opened pea green t-shirt. It'd been a hot day and he'd slept through most of it.
Fingers sift through his somewhat tasseled hair before moving up to search for his journal on the shelf. He finds it, pulls it out by the top of its spine and opens it to a blank page. Other hand, meanwhile, searches for a pencil or pen and he finds the latter of the two. He scribbles at the corner of the paper to make sure the ink is flowing correctly and gets ready to begin writing.
At this point Neo is lounging about atop of Toushin's computer screen, an arm, leg, wing, and tail hanging over the front of the monitor. A glance to his thinker, lifting a brow. "So, Sleeping Beauty, what could you possibly have to write about?"
The pen's tip had gone to the paper when Neo spoke, stopping him immediately. He turns his head, eying the little creature. "For your information, goat boy, just because I'm asleep all day doesn't mean I am all night, and things do happen during the late hours."
"Uh huh... you mean boring things?"
He almost twitched, shaking his head. "No, Neo... And I'm sure you'll find out after you read my journal."
Neo was shocked! How did Toushin know he read his journal?! He scrambles up, sitting now on the top of the monitor then rising up, pointing an accusing finger at his owner. "How dare you make such accusations!"
"We both know you do so stop trying to cover it up." By this point Toushin started to write.
He opens his mouth to speak but closes it, sitting down much like a huffy child would, crossing arms over his chest and sitting in a lotus position with a 'hmph.
"Thank you."
Quote: It's been awhile since I've written anything in here. I've been swamped with a lot of work and pretty emotionally run down. I don't know why. I would like to take a break, but I know I can't do that just yet. I'll just have to deal with it, live it out and maybe, when I've got a lot of the big work done, I can take a break and work sporadically.
I haven't seen Bear Cub in awhile, and I'm a little worried. I mean, I see her sometimes but we don't talk too much anymore. I wonder if it's because of everything that's transpired. I feel bad because I hadn't meant to open up my door in just boxers -- god, I still feel so stupid for that. When I went over to her place the other night to see if she wanted to go out and get some food or something, I think I scared her. We were going to go but then something came up.
Of course, it didn't help with all of Neo's stupid comments either. Sometimes I just wanna smack him upside the head with finger, but I'm sure he'll get his commupance one day. Oh yes, maybe not by my hand but one day. ONE DAY NEO! And I write this in only because I know you're going to read it, pal.
Anyhow. I haven't seen Oni around lately either. I think I need to drop him a visit, see if anything is new. I'm sure he's pretty busy with all his own things though.
But aren't we all?
Quote: I suppose Neo was right. I don't have much of a life. Heh.
He pushes out from the desk, stretching upon rising and looking at Neo. A hand extends out to offer a spot for the Notion. "Let's go get some pizza."
Immediately he lit up at the mention of food, especially pizza. "Sweet!" He hops down onto Toushin's open palm, which rises up to his shoulder, at which point Neo climbs onto it to sit. "Onwards!" he shouted aloud, pointing in no particular direction.

August 20th, 2004Toushin went to sit down to write in his journal when, suddenly, the bulb above his head lit up! Rather, brightly too, nearly blinding him. "Whoa!" Shocked, he scrambled out of the chair, snatching a startled Neo by the tail and yanking him all the way to the Notions H.Q., but not before scribbling in his journal.Quote: Will be back to write in! My Notion is ready! Toushin Like an idiot, Toushin poked the burning bulb above his head. "OW. x_x;" OniAja Oni pops up from the couch pointing accusingly, "A-HAH!! Now you can't laugh at me anymore!" Toushin Glowers at Oni as he sucks at his fingertip. "Yes I can! I wasn't the idiot who picked up a bulb that had been glowing for two months with my bare hands! So!" He points said finger at him. "HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!" OniAja Sticking thumbs in his ears to waggle his fingers, he sneers razzing his brother. "You still touched a lit bulb, genius. So HAHAHAHAHHA, yourself!" Toushin "So did you, you twit!" With that he tackles Oni, wrestling him. Neo rolls his eyes at this display, floating up by the bulb then eying it. "Helloooooo! Ready to come out 'ey?" He moves around it, studying it carefully. "Eh, you won't be that cool."OniAja Growling and wresting with Toushin, Oni bites and chews on whatever he can get his mouth on. "Rawwwwrrrr rawrrawrrawrgrr!" bulb: *shine* Toushin "My tail!" He shouts in pain before turning around to bite down, hard, on Oni's own, growling and yanking at it. Arches a brow as he turns to look over his shoulder at the two brothers, rolling his eyes once more before looking back. "Idiots." His arms go behind his back, a glance back and forth to check before he gives the bulb a swift kick. There! He touched it and wasn't burned. "Pfft. I don't know what they're complaining about! WUSSES!" They, of course, can't hear him so he floats up a bit higher to sit on the bulb, just to so he has somewhere to sit while he watches the fight.OniAja Letting out a yelp, Oni set about dragging Toushin about trying to pry him off his tail, "OFF OFF OFF!!!" The kick however was all that was needed to set the notion free. POP!Toushin Makes a growling noise, closing his teeth tighter around the tail, refusing to let go. Seems Neo didn't get to sit down like he wanted as the bulb popped and he fell atop of the black good Notion. "DAMNIT!"At the sound of the pop, Toushin blinks, looking up to see a scowling Neo and a bewildered Trinity. He lets go of the tail, rising up to his feet but not before shoving at Oni. "Hooray! x3 Trinity!" OniAja Oni eats much of the carpet as he slides along the floor from the shove. @0o;;;
That isn't enough to keep him from writing in his journal, which badly needed to be updated. He picked up his pen, gave it a test to see if its ink was still working, which it was, and opened up to the spot where he'd begin writing earlier on when his bulb had lit up.Quote: It's been a pretty busy week or so, and to the point where I haven't been updating. A bad storm rolled in for a few days and I had to worry about all that. Some of the animals are afraid of the thunder and / or lightning so that's where my concerns had been for some while.
It seems that, despite how busy I've been, I've been rewarded with some good things. My bulb lit up as I sat down to originally write this entry. I was so happy. I went to the Headquarters where Oni and I got into a physical brawl and it'd been a kick that Neo had given the bulb that caused the Notion inside to come out. She's a very pretty black one with white wings and a white tailtip, the only regular black Notion there is. I've named her Trinity.
She's a pretty interesting Notion. She's a little quiet and withdrawn, but is always smiling, even when Neo is causing trouble. He doesn't like the fact that there's a second one around, and a good one, no less. He'll just have to get used to it because she's certainly here to stay and he has absolutely no say in that matter. She tends to occupy my right shoulder while Neo takes the left and if she's on my head and he pushes her off -- which I certainly disapprove of -- she just smiles and nods at him before resting contently by my neck. I have to give her points for being so... care free, especially with an antagonizing creature like Neo around. I'm sure he'll warm up to her though. It'll take some time.
I wish I could come up with more to write but I have to finish something for the Kyendi contest that's going on. I'm hoping to get an Ieldi relic and I don't know if I'll impress Karasu enough. Here's to hoping.

August 24th, 2004
Toushin stretched with a yawn, his arms reaching out high above him, his body inwardly arching as he relieved his joints of stress. "Damn, that feels good," he mumbles to no one in particular.
Nearby lay the two Notions: Neo up in his hammock in the corner of the room and little Trinity had chose an old shoe box with a blanket to rest in. She's a strange one, though Toushin, of course, couldn't help but adore the little thought creature. Who couldn't? The two are sleeping and he decided not to wake them. Maybe go fetch some breakfast for himself before taking a much needed nap. The week had been long and it had finally picked up just a day or so ago. He was starting to feel the strain of it now.
He made his decision and left the room to go and do just that.
