I should have done this a while ago, huh... But New Year’s resolutions are important and I’ll stick to them this time!

URU’S NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS!


1. Gain a few pounds. I lost some weight while we were in Paris. Probably from all the work and running around I did. I don’t really like gaining weight either but I don’t want to be too skinny...
2. Exercise more, though!
4. Challenge myself with something new.
5. Expedition! Not missing this!
6. Most important: learn from my mistakes and the mistakes of my friends. [ A pause. ]

The past year was a bumpy ride, huh? A lot of things were said or done that nobody meant. Even I said a lot of – [ Another pause, then a deep sigh. ] I’m going to work even harder this year. I mean it this time. So the next time someone leaves, nobody will have to see them with a sad face before they go. We’ll all remember them smiling. I’m sure if I can do just that alone, it’ll be enough for me.

[ Laughing to herself. ]

I still have a long way to go before some of this! I should talk to him soon and... I’m not sure I can get his forgiveness but whatever his answer is going to be, I’ll feel better knowing. But I hope he won’t yell. Or pull my ears.


[ friends ]

I’m sorry this is so late! But thank you all for the gifts you sent during the holidays. I really liked them all! I hope my gifts were okay!

[ filtered away from jason todd... and damian wayne as a safety precaution ]

Can I ask you all something, though? [ sheepishly: ] If you wanted to get one of your guy friends a gift, what would you get them? I ran out of ideas already. I know it’s also really late to give him something, but I still want to! It wouldn’t be right if I didn’t.


[ zeke tyler & nancy downs ]

[ DON’T FEEL OBLIGATED TO REPLY TO THIS!! FOR REAL.

Anyway, she starts writing something then scratches it out and goes for dictating because well... it just feels right. ]


Hi! How -- I mean –

I better keep this short, hm? I don’t know if you both ended up in Paris like the rest of us or if you celebrated Christmas. Or maybe you have your own holidays? First Gen holidays...? But I hope that it was a good one! And that you’re both okay.

[ UH. What else should she say... no, she’s feeling awkward. ]

That’sallbye!


[ dick grayson ]

[ OH MY GOD HOW DOES SHE START THIS OFF. ]

Hello?!

[ Yes, perfect. ]


[ And in today’s news, with her chin in a hand and journal in her lap, one might find Uru in the laundry room of the castle. She’s sitting on top of one of the unused machines while the one beside it is running a cycle with her clothes inside. She’s also got goggles hanging around her neck, and for anyone who might see them and knew her, will recognize these as Serenity’s. The machinery’s soft whirring noises can be heard over the journals as she opens up her new one (it’s bizarre to have an almost totally blank one) to talk into it. ]

Friday was so creepy! Does anyone know why it happened? Geez, because the sun didn’t come up I nearly got late for opening. I thought that kind of stuff only happened in the Arctic. [ OH GOSH, SUDDEN REVELATION?! ] Does this mean Paradisa’s all the way north?

I heard people talking about other weird things happening but... did it happen to everyone? [ Suddenly she sound sheepish and kinda uncertain. ] Well, at work I fell off the ladder but someone caught me below! Lucky, huh? But my head’s hard so it wouldn’t have hurt too much. [ ... ] Is this going to happen again in April?


[ ooc: she wasn’t affected by bad luck shenanigans thanks to Nancy’s protection charm from last year. B) ♥ open in person or through the journal, obviously! ]

Guy friend gift? Do I need to get ready for a wedding?

Your gift was lovely and I apologize for not expressing my own thanks sooner.

As to your inquiry, that would depend on the gentleman in question, would it not? I assume you know of his interests and inclinations. Is this the friend you spoke of in Paris?
secondchances: (HOLE)

Oh, right, the bachelorette party happens before that.

I should have included an explanation, forgive me. It is your name, dear one, written in tengwar, the Elvish script.

I am glad.

[LAAAAUGHS.]

Okay, okay, I'm done.


[For now...]

Sooo. Who's this guy friend?
inafadingcrown: (More fair than thoughts of Mortal Men)

[personal profile] inafadingcrown 2012-01-17 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
You are quite welcome. And I am glad you find it so.

As I said, you know him well, do you not? Does he take joy in song? Enjoy lore or poetry? Or perhaps he has some favored sport?
secondchances: (OATH)

Oh. [Regrets nothing.]

I'm pretty sure he'll be happy with anything. Not very helpful, but I can't really see him not being grateful for getting a belated gift.
inafadingcrown: (Merry as a lass with daisies in her hair)

[She laughs] Had you said he did take pleasure such things, I might have suggest you gift him a book. I did not mean to suggest you pen it yourself.

But you mistake my point- you know what he does enjoy. Does nothing come to mind when you think of his talents and skills?
secondchances: (SOFA)

You got it right. It's perfect. Very Stephanie Brown, it's like you know her personally.

A weapon, perhaps? [What? She gave a couple of knives as gifts this Christmas.]
