[ Hello all public enemy number one has decided to crawl out from underneath his rock and make a journal entry. However this time there's a slight change to his voice...the cockiness and arrogance is still there but it's a little distant. It's as if there's something playing on his already damaged mind.]

Ah memories...they are such fragile things are they not?

There are some schools of thought that say a person's personality is defined by his memories. Whether it be the memory of a mothers warm embrace, that first kiss with the fairer sex or the pain of a betrayal from a friend they all make us what we are today.

So for the castle to manipulate them...to add them or remove them entirely in such a way is very wicked indeed.

[Is he referring to his time at Hogwarts or is he talking about something else entirely...who knows?]

That is not to say it was not enlightening to be young again...to relive the glory and hope of ones teenage years. 

Maybe that is the lesson here...to hold on and saviour ones youth before it is whisked away by the ravages and ways of the world?

I do, yes. [Most of them having to do with successfully completing one of Mendez's challenges, figuring out the twist, and working with John and the other Spartans. Not your usual childhood nostalgia.]

Yay! That icon :-D

[hasmommyissues]

I will take your word for it.

Yet I cannot picture you playing in the street with your bicycle with the other children...or passing notes in class to that one boy next to you in class who makes your heart go a flutter.

Maybe I am just getting unimaginative in my old age.

In context this time! :3

[banshee_rider]

Maybe. [Yes, she's going to be vague. Her childhood is extremely classified. stuff like this]

I never stopped believing

[hasmommyissues]

[He sighs.]

You're quite the chatty cathy aren't you?

~and it was never seen again~

[banshee_rider]

That's me. [Yeah she's not great at sarcasm.] So what did you do with your new-found youth while you had it?

We'll always have this thread.

[hasmommyissues]

Oh you know...got up to some youthful high jinxs with my fellow students...including James.

I think we really grew closer over the experience.

it'll be cherished

[banshee_rider]

Sounds like you're certainly taking advantage of second chances here.

[hasmommyissues]

I confess I can be something of an opportunist when the need arises.

[banshee_rider]

An admirable quality. [Depending on the opportunity she thinks to herself.] Seize the day and all that.

[She doesn't have a goal for the conversation, nudging it one way or another to see where it goes.]

[hasmommyissues]

You are not truely living if you don't carpe diem dear.

[banshee_rider]

Let's just say this castle isn't exactly prepared for the level of carpe diem I'm used to.

[She just doesn't know what to do with herself in the down times here.]

[hasmommyissues]

The pace of battle here is not to your satisfaction?

[banshee_rider]

There is no battle. [Not that that is a problem in and of itself; peace is a very woinderful thing and Kelly wasn't one to wish it away. But, she still didn't quite know what to do with herself, and it was becoming a problem.]

[hasmommyissues]

And thus you do not know what to do with yourself.

[He shakes his head.]

So tragic.
