Past experience would suggest, in spite of the past week's chaos, that it's worth being careful tomorrow. Just because we've had a curse already doesn't mean we won't have another.

Wearing costumes might be asking for trouble. It often is.

These are starting to feel more and more regular. I don't tend to trust the City's patterns; it's a surprise not to be surprised.

As always, I'd appreciate any ideas on how to get out.

Two of those weekends in one month. I don't remember that ever happening, for as long as I've been here. Does that kind of chaos better serve the Deities' aims, I wonder? Is it due to sensory adaptation, to the fact that curses don't shock us as much as they used to? One would think bringing new Citizens into captivity would compensate for that, but maybe isn't enough.

Or maybe it's just a clerical error.

Needless to say, I hope it doesn't become a pattern. Though, at least if it did, we'd just get used to it.

I remember reading, somewhere, that upwards of eighty percent of New Year's Resolutions are abandoned, many of them within the first few weeks of the year. Whether that's because people tend to set unreasonable goals, or because the superstition surrounding New Year's Eve isn't strong enough to provide the necessary motivation, I can't say.

A more realistic goal would be to indulge in reflection a little more frequently, and not leave it all for the depths of winter. To change when change is necessary. To act instead of merely reacting. Manageable goals with concrete progress markers might not be as impressive as quitting smoking cold turkey, or losing a hundred pounds, or writing a novel, but they have a better success rate. That, at least, seems worth a resolution.

If--

It doesn't prove anything either way.


I always try to talk myself out of saying anything when this happens, but the truth is I think it's kind of nice. Horrifying, more often than not, but-- there's always a chance of seeing someone familiar.



[ooc; as always~ Cam is season 3, I would prefer to minimize explicit spoilers on recent canon but she can forget whatever she needs to ;) Please no duplicates of housecast unless approved by the concerned muns. etc etc. backdating-friendly forever.]

It occurred to me recently that it's almost a year since that monster attacked; which means I've been here over a year. I suppose the date was some time in February; I didn't do anything to commemorate it, or even think about it too much until now.

It's strange though, to think about the passage of time here-- the thought that all of this experience will simply disappear, eventually, when we're allowed to leave. How we choose to lead our lives here is only relevant as long as we remain. I wonder how different I am now from the person I'll be in a year of real time.

Questions without answers, really.

[Private to Angela]

I said it the other day, I know, but-- given that I was cursed... Thank you, again.
