This wasn't part of the plan Mother had in mind when she sent me here, but I'm going to join Badminton. I am also thinking of joining the Swing club, but I still need to see how the schedule works out.

Oh! I've made a new friend. She sings beautifully. I actually find it easier to study when she's there.

Maybe I really have... a 'thing' for simple melodies. It would certainly explain why I like music boxes so much.

Your friend reminds me of my own little "friends" last year... although they're not really here anymore, un. :/

[info]softstripe

December 16 2006, 08:50:58 UTC 5 years ago

Oh? Why's that? Did they migrate?

[info]myhandstalktome

December 16 2006, 09:04:59 UTC 5 years ago

The ones that survived did. I suppose you could say that, un. Although they mostly just started disappearing one by one. Hmmm, on an unrelated note, you won't mind telling me where you spotted your little friend, yeah? I like to sculpt birds, un.

...I'm sorry, what? Disappearing? ...And you don't know why?

Um. Tori-chan lives in the tree outside my dorm room window.

Hm? No, nothing, un. Nope. Not a clue, un. :/ It was kinda sad.

Really? There are a lot of birds there, yeah?

As far as I know, Tori-chan's the only one up there. I've seen a few others, but this one seems to have the tree to itself.

You sculpt birds? That's uncommon... are you going to sculpt Tori-chan?

Hmm... I see, un. Thanks.

I do. It's the second best art form a person can pursue, un... and yeah, something like that. It's just so hard to find the right models, un. There aren't many birds on campus.

Bird, huh? Birds are nice except when you're trying to sleep and they wake you up at five in the freakin' morning.

[info]softstripe

December 16 2006, 08:51:46 UTC 5 years ago

...I suppose that's true, but that's more or less the time I get up anyway.

It's a good time to get up sometimes. There isn't as many loud annoying people outside and dogs are less likely to get angry at you for not letting them out and seeking canine revenge by peeing on your floor.

[info]softstripe

December 17 2006, 04:12:29 UTC 5 years ago

Mm-hm! The world really is quieter. And you avoid said canine revenge. Not me, though--I'm allergic. : /

[info]dogsdayout

December 17 2006, 06:47:56 UTC 5 years ago

And that's when it's at its best. WHAAAAAAAAT?! Allergic?! How do you go about living your day-to-day life? O_O

The silence doesn't unnerve you, though? Well.... I live it without getting close to animals, I suppose. : | It's very annoying, because I love them... but when I get near say, a dog or cat, my nose runs and my eyes tear up.

To me the most beautiful thing about a music box is the structure.

[info]softstripe

December 16 2006, 09:33:50 UTC 5 years ago

It's structure? Um, I'm sorry. I don't follow.

[info]scorpiondry

December 17 2006, 03:39:51 UTC 5 years ago

I couldn't care less about tunes and melodies. The way it is built is far more interesting.

[info]softstripe

December 17 2006, 04:13:21 UTC 5 years ago

Oh, I see. But I like music. Don't you find it pretty?

[info]scorpiondry

December 21 2006, 03:30:50 UTC 5 years ago

No. It's mere imitation and application of memorized notes. Nothing special.

[info]softstripe

December 22 2006, 05:23:55 UTC 5 years ago

Oh. I see. But don't you play an instrument at all? Then maybe you'll see...

You've made friends with a bird? What kind of sad life are you living little girl? Get out and, as unlikely as that is, attempt to make normal friends. Not that I'm all that optimistic about you achieving even that.

[info]softstripe

December 17 2006, 04:15:13 UTC 5 years ago

...Th-there's nothing wrong with making friends with a bird! It doesn't make me incapable of making other friends, either!

[info]g0ldenbelle

December 17 2006, 04:38:18 UTC 5 years ago

Mhm. The sad argument of a poor, lonely little girl. Perhaps I should continue to harass badger you until these so-called friends of yours show themselves and to prove your little argument correct.


And avians don't make very good friends, I do hope you're aware of that fact. I would so hate to see you disappointed.

[info]softstripe

December 17 2006, 14:29:20 UTC 5 years ago

But I don't understand why you need to be so mean rude! I don't think I've done anything to offend you... nor to deserve harshness...

A-and Tori-chan will probably make ten times the friend you could ever be!

[info]g0ldenbelle

December 17 2006, 14:58:53 UTC 5 years ago

It's rather simple little girl: I dislike people who believe life is nothing but fun and games. You want to mess around with twittering little birds and silly wooden boxes, then be prepared to fail. I'm not merely speaking of your studies but of your regular life as well. Someone needs to bring you back to Earth. I'm apparently the only one cruel kind enough to do so.

Ten times? Hah. There are so many things wrong with that argument, I don't even know where to begin. And I'd love to see you tell Zaku and Dosu that they'd be better off with a bird than me.

[info]softstripe

December 22 2006, 05:26:01 UTC 5 years ago

I'm not going to fail! I'm not... why would you say something like that?

I don't even know this Zaku and Dosu, but I'm sure they deserve a better friend!
