Okay, this City is clearly trying to tell me something.
This weekend marks the third time...the THIRD TIME that I've had that family curse.
I...wow. 2 times is a coincidence, 3 times is somebody trying to give me a message. If this happens again, I'm calling shenanigans and demanding a direct explanation from somebody.
Do you WANT me to be in some sort of family unit, City? Please explain why you keep giving me the same curse...
Well...at least I sort of like that curse...better add this one to the journal...it's the first three timer too, hmm...

Oh, it is SO good to be me again. I missed you, body. I will never take you for granted again...
Not that it wasn't interesting being you, Dulcie...it was different. I promise, your apartment is exactly as it was when you were last you.
Err...I hope you like the bras that Dawn picked out...that was all her, I'm crap at that stuff.
...also, I can't get the eye makeup off...

You know, I find it ironic that, during the Vegas curse, I wanted to be a cook. Given my history of destroying ovens and burning water, me being a cook is hilarious.
I bet I'd be a terrible bartender too. I can't juggle, either.
...How is it that Vegas me is much cooler than normal me? Is it cuz of the Vegas bit? I bet it is. Ah well.

...Man, I was sort of a jerk on Saturday. I didn't realize being a hard boiled detective made you act like a jerk to everybody, even your friends.
I didn't even get to solve any cool mysteries either...what a ripoff! And the worst part? I don't look nearly as good as Eduardo does in a fedora. He looks boss in one.
Ah well.
Another wacky weekend over...and I am bored. I wanna go exploring somewhere. Dunno where, but since I haven't gotten any cases yet, I might as well go make my own trouble, right?
Who wants in with me?

Okay, so, that was sort of a weird weekend. I think I'm deadly afraid of bears now...
But that's not important! What IS important is the fact that I got my business cards all made! They're not the fanciest things in the world, but they have my address and all my contact info on them, as well as a brief job description about what do in the wold of paranormal investigating.
However, that part is sort of in really tiny print, so people might not be able to read that. That's what I Get for trying to squeeze too much on one card. Ah well!
I've got a nice bunch of them at the flower shop, and I'm gonna scatter a bunch around the City. And also maybe the Underground.
It worked back home, so hey, it could work here!!
[PRIVATE TO EUPHIE//UNHACKABLE]
Hey, Euph!
I know we haven't really hung out since the visitor's curse...but, well, I figured since Suzaku just got here, you'd wanna spend some time with him, since he's new and has to get settled, and you two were really close back in your world...
But I was wondering, if you were free to do something sometime soon?

...Well, Worth and Conrad are gone again.
You know, it's weird. I miss em when they're gone, but when they're here, all they ever do is argue...and also Worth insults everybody. But, to be fair, that's what they do regardless of where they are.
But, anyway, that stuff they do...it should be really annoying, but it's not. It's just so familiar that when they were here, we fell back into our old routines from home. It was only for two days, but still.
I miss em already. Hope they come back soon...and that they bring Arbarioun with them.
But you know what else they made me realize?
I have really been slacking off with my investigating business! I got so used to being surrounded with the paranormal that I just...forgot that 'oh, hey, I should be investigating and helping people'! Stupid Hanna.
So! I'm going to go make business cards! I had some at home, and, believe it or not, they actually worked!! And hopefully then, I'll be back on track.
Should probably do some magic practice too. Yeah...I'm probably really rusty now.

So, yeah, puppy bites hurt enough as is, what with them having those sharp pointy little teeth and all...but you feel really, REALLY sore when they're all over.
Yeah, 2 days after I was a chew toy and I'm still sore. If I have to deal with a toy curse again, it'll be too soon, I just know it.
Oh well. I shouldn't really call them puppies anymore either, since they're more like teenage dogs...but they act like puppies, so it's a technicality. Oh, they grow up so fast...!
Anyway. This has been a nice month, I'd say. Overall, anyway. And...wow, next month is March. I'll have been here a whole year....
...wow. How do you mark something like that?
I should probably go make more cranes...I got sort of lazy with those...

...this place has really weird curses. Cat macros? Seriously?
...I fricken love cat macros, and I wasn't affected. Of course.
Ah well.
Euphie...? I know we're gonna be getting together for Valentine's Day, and...well, would you like to go the Valentine's Day dance? I mean, I'm not exactly a good dancer, but...well, it sounds fun...?
I mean, if it sounds too fancy or over the top, we can do something else...
[FILTERED AWAY FROM EUPHIE//UNHACKABLE]
...I have no idea what to get Euphie for Valentine's Day, and I'm starting to panic. I mean, I know she doesn't like big expensive things but I need to get her something really special and unique...
...and also, I need some help trying to bake chocolate cake. Since, you know, the last time I tried to cook something, the oven came to life and took its revenge. Granted, that was curse aided but it was still pretty pissed.
Holy crap, I'm celebrating Valentine's Day with somebody.

Man, I sort of wish I was affected by that last curse...
I said that my resolution at the beginning of the year was to make a whole bunch of small changes to my life, but you know what?
I only said that because...well, I couldn't think of a proper resolution. I know I need to do something to improve my life, make some changes for the better...but I couldn't think of how or what!!
...and I guess I didn't wanna ask for help either...oh well.
So, I guess I don't have a resolution. But it was nice hearing about other people's.

Man, I really don't like those weekend curses...especially when they're random and last all weekend. I think I hate my shadow now, very, very much.
Anyway, everybody else back to normal? Sam, you're human again, Dean, your car is okay? Euphie? Cuz the only good thing about curses is that don't last...
And now, I'm gonna try to catch up on lost sleep...my shadow didn't stop talking until it got to be late at night, and then of course I'm still recovering from being sick...is anybody else still sick, by the way?

Case 148 [Video]
Jan. 12th, 2011 11:22 am[Hanna turns on the video feed, and he looks much, much worse than he did yesterday. Today, he looks like death warmed over and set on fire.]
...'m still sick...guess it wasn't just a curse...
[He coughs, covering his mouth and looking away. The cold is going into his lungs, and considering how much trouble he had yesterday, he'll be even worse today.]
...can somebody watch the flower shop for me today...? I don't think I can go into work...

Case 137 [Video]
Dec. 9th, 2010 10:55 pmI have some excellent news. As of today, officially, I no longer have a broken foot. I am out of the cast and off of the crutches!! Good as new!
[Showing off, he turns on his camera and wiggles his newly healed foot, grinning and waving.]
Ta daaah!! No more crutches, I am officially back in business, woo!!
[He laughs a bit, grinning some more.]
I tell ya, its a real drag on the whole 'investigating' thing, going around on a crutch. Makes it really easy for people to catch you or hear you coming...ah well, all in the past.
I feel like celebrating, for some reason.
[PRIVATE TO MOUSE//UNHACKABLE]
Hey, Mouse, I was wondering. I'm all in a celebrating mood today since I'm off the crutch, and I wanted to know if you wanted to come over and hang out? I've gotten some decorating done so far...
...buuut I don't have a tree yet. Wanna come with me to get a really good one? We can start decorating it after we get one too...
I just wanna make sure you're okay...The curse two days ago...I got really worried, man. I feel like going and doing mindless fun...it's the least I can do, since I couldn't help you more...

Dec. 8th, 2010 02:17 pm[Yes, Hanna is still really pissed about what the deities did yesterday. And yes, he is worried about his friends who were stuck in their twisted games yesterday.
But right now, he's rolling around on a large ball of air, laughing his head off ans he rolls around at high speeds, leaving wind in his wake.
Yep. Hanna's an airbender. Surprised?]
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!
[He'll remember to be angry again later.]

Ahhh, Christmas carols...I tell ya, they're great, they really.
I mean, I don't even mind listening to them for a whole day on end, they're just really great!!
....however, I do mind listening to that Avin and the Chipmunks song about 9 times in a row or so. THAT. That right there is irritating. City, if you're going to force people to listen to music, at least keep it diverse and play some classic stuff?
...Anyway. Christmas!! I love this holiday...But I haven't really done a whole lot for it in a while. So maybe I'm out of the loop...ah well.
Who wants to come over and help me get the apartment ready for Christmas? Sam, Euphie, I won't take no for an answer, since I've got sodaaaa~!
...and whoever decorated the rest of apartment building 12? You are brilliant. That is all.

And so, the visitors have gone. Okay, technically they all left yesterday, but I wasn't up for a lot of talking yesterday. One of those random 'off days', you know? Heh.
It's...bittersweet. I'm glad I got to see Doumeki and Veser and Watanuki again...and Timothy got to meet Lassie's puppies and have a proper goodbye and everything, so that's good!!
But they stay, then they leave, they don't remember...ah well, it's how this place works.
And now it's December!! Twenty...three, I think, days till Christmas!! Oh, man, I get to actually buy people stuff this year! Gnee!!
...er...I don't know what, though...
...And it's snowing! Heh, awesome...I love snow. Bet you'd love this too, Gallahad.

Hey. Deities. I got a bone to pick with you, and I don't care if you're all high and mighty or whatever, you are going to let me say what I need to say, and you are going to listen.
And this is what I have to say:
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?
A BLOOD DRIVE? You...you had all those people killed so you could take their blood? You know, if you just asked, I'm sure people would have willingly donated blood, blood drives aren't really an uncommon thing. You didn't have to kill those people.
And no, I don't care if you can bring somebody back to live with a snap of your fingers. You have no right to play with people's lives like that. Do you have any IDEA how many people were upset and scared because their friends were trapped on that train? Or how many people you affect when you decide 'hey, I know, let's kill somebody for their FUCKING BLOOD.'
Somebody once said that with great power comes great responsibility. You are using your power to play games with peoples lives, and THAT is something that is not cool. So I'm calling you out. Fuck you deities.
No, wait. You shouldn't even be called that. How about assholes with power and god complexes? Seems a lot more accurate to me.
There. I've said my bit. I doubt you'll change or listen, but it's been said.
...Aaargh, this place is starting to get to me...

Man, am I glad that weekend's over. This city really does have some awful weird curses...I mean, seriously. Tasting like ice cream? What sort of fetishes are you encouraging, City?
Anyway, my foot is on the mend. It's supposed to take at least 3 weeks to heal if I don't do anything to make the break worse...no pressure on the foot, keep the whole foot from moving with splinting, use a crutch to make walking around easy...blah blah blah medical stuff.
Still...is there anything I could do to make the healing easier? I just feel really...lazy and useless. Stupid broken foot. Stupid bad luck curse, glad it's over now. Anybody still got those evil Indigo coins?
Oh! Before I forget, I'm still trying to find good, permanent homes for my remaining 9 puppies. They're collie mixes of some kind, and they're very sweet, but I'm not sure how much room I have with them all getting bigger at the same time...so if you're interested, come by or leave me a message so you can meet the kids!
There's 6 girls and 3 boys, if gender is something you care about in relation to puppy awesome.

...I am very, very glad that curse is over. I don't...augh. I don't even know what to think.
I just hope that things can get back to normal here...and that people realize that, when cursed, they weren't themselves. So they should try to forgive themselves.
...Man, how do I segway out of that?
Oh! I got my costume done for Halloween! It...sort of looks terrible, since I made it myself and I've got zero skills in sewing...but hey, I got the Batman mask okay, and that's really the most important part.
I really do like Halloween...it's just a fun, carefree holiday. And...well, I think it's the sort of thing we really need here right now. Especially after last well.
[PRIVATE TO SAM//UNHACKABLE]
...Dude. Are you completely, totally, 100% back to normal now? These last few curses have...well, been bad. And I really did get worried about you...
So...let me know if you're good. Because I wasn't kidding when I said we should go out and do nothing together, since we both made it through another week of insanity. I got soda...~
Aaand...I have to ask you about something that the jerk that's mooching in your brain said during the nightmare curse. But I'd rather do it in person, you know?

You know, I gotta admit, the halo and wings look? Nooot really my thing.
I mean, yeah, I'd rather have that than the devil horns and pointy demon tail, but still. Wings are really inconvenient! They keep getting in the way when going through doors and stuff...
...buuut at least I feel better now. Why I'm an angel, dunno. Sort of ironic.
SO ANYWAY.
I've got this feeling...I mean, the City wouldn't start aligning people to the ultimate definitions of good and bad if they didn't have a reason...
...Well, whatever's coming, I'm prepared. You can't trip me up, City, I know that you're up to something less than good. And I'll fight you every step of the way!
...
Also, I've decided I'm being Batman for Halloween. And it will be awesome.
...Sam, I hope you're doing okay during this curse...
