It's odd how we all tend to come together for an event, no matter what the case is.

[Those who know her, there is your signature commentary on the day's events, as given to you by your favorite private investigator.

But wait, there's more!]

Honestly, in spite of the individualistic nature that most of us are incline to cling to, there is rarely an event that is proposed by the masses that goes ignored. Those who tend to stay quiet are still there "to see what all the fuss is about" for one reason or the other, even though it's obvious that they would like to be part of the status quo in one way or the other.

[Okay, she's made a point. She should probably close that journal now that she has it out.
Wait.]

I'm inclined to admit the fact that I'm starting to oblige myself as well. It's "something to do", it's something to break yourself free of the monotony of perfection that the castle provides us. For people who tend to have their acquaintances from home leave over and over again, it's a way to familiarize oneself with good will and social circles, even if a person doesn't exactly feel "at home" with the people there to begin with.

[Wait? Feelings? Talking? About some degree of sentimentality? What...]

I suppose that's something that someone like myself can call familiar, though.

_{(ooc. OPEN OPEN OPEN... via journal. This is part of the plot I missed due to real life priorities during the holidays. Kalinda's usual tight-lipped nature is now changed to talking a lot! whaoaoaoaaaaa!!1 pre-existing cr, feel free to bank on this idegaf.)}

Extensive could be considered worldly, but I suppose if you'd like to be literal, and you've yet to travel quite a bit, then I'll go with your term. But, in any case, it is nice to make decent conversation in the journal with someone who knows what they're talking about and will still remain open. And such is the case with my name. I thought it was unique, that's why I decided it was something that I'd like to stick with, in spite of everything.

Perseverance on any form is certainly laudable. Which, I suppose, can bring us back around somewhat neatly to the topic at hand, though I apologize if it was a trifle trite for a segue. Mistakes and unpredictability are, paradoxically enough, the only things I have found to he a constant, with the addition of eventual misfortune. The trick is not to remain positive, as some of the heavier-handed advice columnists of the world may suggest, but instead, as you say, to remain open to possibilities and action. Or, as is the case with my own personal philosophy, remain ready to flee from danger at any particular moment.
