Dear Beloved Cousin Mine,
You would not BELIEVE what happened to me this past week. Nor HOW it happened. But I'll begin at the beginning. I received a scroll from one of our uncles. The scroll's gone now, so I can't remember which one. But yes. After a long day's work at delivering, the last place I stopped had it waiting for me. That was odd enough in itself, but that was NOTHING compared to what happened this afternoon! I opened the door to a man and a woman, who demanded [well, sorta] to see the scroll. So I went and got it. And they took it, and went out into the living room, and set it on the floor. Before I knew it, there was a green flash of light, smoke everywhere, and the scroll was gone. But in its place.... He's so adorable! I know I'm not usually one to gush, but the child they freed from that scroll is cute as hell, and twice as sweet. He hardly ever cries, and takes to the bottle I've bought him like it was made for him. He's such an agreeable kid!... Well, in this stage of his life, at least. I named him Codi. You know, after my old friend, back in Highschool? Codi Brickette? Well, I don't expect you to remember - that was a long time ago, and you and Codi sort of didn't get along at all. Anyway - enough about that. Codi's doing fine. I'd judge him to be a little under three years old, by his size, but he's ADORABLE. Again, I'm gushing. He has this pacifier that he loves to suck on, and it's red. I'm guessing he likes that color, so all his outfits that I buy him are going to be red from now on.
Anywho - can't talk much more than this - really have to get going. Codi's got an appointment for some sort of 'tour' soon, and I need to be there. You still coming in December?
Love you,
Fuego

Dearest Tundra,
Well, the child's being a royal pain in the you know what. Not that he isn't a sweet and cute little darling, but he's also a HELLRAISER! He's quiet as a mouse, but when I'm not looking, he'll yank on the dog's tail, or steal a cookie, or get into one of my crafts, and ruin it. I swear he's just WAITING for me to turn my back, so that he can get into more mischief. Remind you of anyone at his age? At any rate. I heard you came down with the flu a couple of days ago. Codi and I will come visit you soon. Which hospital are you staying at? Codi knows your name now, and mine. And for some strange reason, he keeps wanting to call you daddy. Which doesn't make any sense in the world, since I've not even introduced you to him. But regardless, he calls you 'Daddy Tun'ra' in the sweetest little voice imaginable. I don't suppose he's got any sort of fortunetelling skill. Especially not at his age. But that would be quite neat, wouldn't it? How are dad and mom? Do they know that I've got legal guardianship of a kid now? Do they even ask about me at all? What about our cousins? Have you seen any of them? ... Well, not like I really care all that much, I just like to keep up with family. Especially with that reuinion coming up so soon. Which reminds me - I need a suit. Are you willing to sit down with me, and design one? I don't want to be a laughingstock like last time. I swear that is the VERY last time I let Donna design my clothes. Anyway. I'll be coming to see you soon, and I hope to hear from you before then...
Forever in my heart,
Fuego

New pages, fresh start, all that. I suppose I should start keeping a journal again - writing down random thoughts and such. Something that I haven't been doing for a while now.
Sooo... what news? I got myself a child. Or rather, a child got me. His name is Codi, and he's the most peaceful, sweet little hellraiser to pop out of a scroll. Hell, did I just say that out loud? Or write it, in my case?
But yeah - a SCROLL of all things. One with a wasp on it. Which makes me wonder... is Codi some type of ancient wasp reborn, or something of the sort? I know, it makes no sense. But hey. Sometimes I NEED to make no sense. Nonsense is what makes the world go 'round, afterall.
I wrote another song for Tundra. Gods, I hope he never, EVER gets a hold of this journal. I'd be SO embarrassed....
Do you know, what you're doing to me?
Your eyes are open, but you still don't see,
We're dancing faster, around and around,
My eyes seek yours, but you're nowhere around,
Can't you see I'm falling, all I want is in your arms,
I can't find the heart that I've been searching for,
Can't you hear me calling, calling, out with my dreams,
Don't be the one to break my heart, for in this world,
Nothing's as it seems,
Can you find, the courage to say,
Something else to me, but 'See you another day'?
Why are you leaving, going away?
Something you can't see, reason you can't stay?
Can't you see I'm falling, all I want is in your arms,
I can't find the heart that I've been searching for,
Can't you hear me calling, calling, out with my dreams,
Don't be the one to break my heart, for in this world,
Nothing's as it seems,
So listen closely, as my dreams unfold,
Each one a melody that falls on deaf ears,
Are you dead in spirit, dead to my soul?
Why won't you let me just soothe all your fears?
Can't you see I'm falling, all I want is in your arms,
I can't find the heart that I've been searching for,
Can't you hear me calling, calling, out with my dreams,
Don't be the one to break my heart, for in this world,
Nothing's as it seems...
Can't you see I'm falling, crying out to be with you,
I can't find the heart that I've been searching for,
Can't you hear me calling, calling, out with my dreams,
Don't be the one to break my heart, for in this world,
Nothing's as it seems.

It just occured to me. I am up WAY too early. Days like this, I should still be in bed, sleeping. But anyway. Up I am, and writing I am, so I might as well make the best of it. Yeah. Tundra came and went - he didn't have as much time as he thought he'd have, but it all worked out, and we had a great time. He met Codi, and was impressed with him to say the least. Codi, for his part, seemed to get along with Tundra ok too.
He said he'd write us when he had free time. I wonder what he's doing that's taking up this big a chunk of his life. I hope it's not anything illegal. Jail would not suit my beautiful Ice Prince at all. Gyah.
Anyway - Codi is doing well. Growing fast, and chewing up things. He's still a quiet, and very sweet child. I'm not sure whether that's a good sign, or a bad one. Mom used to say that -I- was a 'sweet' child growing up as well, and now look at me - trouble with a capital T. Now I think I know a little bit of what mom went through. Not that that's a bad thing. I love Codi to death, and so far as I can tell, he loves me too.
It's about time for All Hallow's Eve, here on Gaia! Which means events for Juridia's OWN Hallow's Eve should be getting underway. I wonder what I'm going to go as this time.....

Well... surprise of all surprises, I have myself a job now. Not a big one, mind - but enough to keep myself and Codi fed, and for there to be extra money left-over for things we need around the house. Extra diapers, teething rings - things like that. I still have to try and custom-make something to cushion Codi's bum. That stinger is really making it painful for him to sit. My hope is that he'll get a callous there eventually - but that hasn't happened yet, and I'd just as soon as he be comfortable, and not in pain whenever he has to find a place to sit. I'm not entirely sure WHAT I'll make, but I know it's going to be something he can reuse, and/or grow into. I'm so PROUD of my little wasp. He's starting to talk and make odd noises. He said my name! Can you believe it?! He's not yet three, and already he's starting to say things. My name, Donna's... the typical stuff, really. But it's cool as hell to hear him say those things. Well... Looking at the time, it's about time for me to get ready to slip off to work. I don't enjoy the job - but it IS one that I am fond of [for the money, if nothing else]. I'll see about writing more when I get back, but not making any promises. Working in the food industry is hard labor, and I'm probably going to be absolutely exhausted when I DO get home. If I don't wind up falling asleep AT work... which wouldn't be the best of ideas, considering who my boss is.

Lovely - I got fired. Fired without pay, even. I have to go and find another job, and I'm thinking about working at my cousin's bar. A bar would be interesting work, if not altogether appropriate for Codi to be brought in to. Not that I was PLANNING on bringing him to work, mind - but there might be times when my brothers won't babysit for some reason or another. Ooo! I got Tundra something today that he's going to love. A RING. But shhhhh! You can't tell him, I want it to be a suprise! Have to get out there, and get dinner - having it with my sisters, which means no end of dressup, conversations about pop-artists, and PINK. GODS I hate pink. I'd much rather be spending the evening with Donna. At least SHE isn't so.... girly.

It has been the whirlwind ride from HELL. Things just won't keep still and keep changing. The change isn't always for the better. I finally found this thing. We had to pack up everything into the attic for a while, and most of THAT is why I haven't been writing. Or, hell, even showing up. But here's an update.
Codi is doing wonderfully, even amid the chaos of moving places. I can't live in the apartment I was in anymore, so I moved to another, and he didn't seem to have too much trouble with it. Today is the FIRST day I'm actually able to sit down and think, let alone write. The baby's asleep right now, curled up in a crib that I yanked from my family. It should keep him out of trouble. I hope, anyway. Got a new job. New car. New life, really. I haven't seen Tundra in ages, but the good news is that he's supposed to be coming to see me soon. I can't wait for him to get here - It's going to be hella exciting, that's for sure.
GYAH. Codi's crying, so I'll wrap up this entry for now. Sorry so short. I'll find more time to write when I have it!

I don't know about Codi, but I'M just about bushwhacked. We went to the park a couple of days ago to hang out with Aaron, Zael, and their kid, Gray. I've never SEEN a more creepy kid before. He seems to have a special power over Codi - and that seriously scares me. It's probably nothing - just me being paranoid - but I can't help but think that there's something else going on with that black kid. Regardless, though - Zael knocked me out! He threw something or someone else did, but he was standing over me when I came to. I STILL have a headache.

Short entry last time - but I suppose I should append it a bit, what with there being all this rigmarole about this and that lately. Codi and I are planning on going to the mall later with Aaron, Zael, and Gray. There is something odd about that three-eyed kid. And no - I don't just mean the fact that he's three-eyed. Or dark skinned. He seems... I dunno... WRONG in some sense. And Codi is absolutely terrified of him - so... I really don't know what to think about it.
I have heard, though, there are a lot of people around the mall looking to kidnap kids - I'll have to keep Codi close. And A and Z will have to keep Gray close as well. Something in me dreads going there later, though. It's probably just my being paranoid. I mean... who in their right mind would want to steal a wasp?
