I...guess I should write this down somewhere before it totally eats at me forever. It's already been two weeks, and I'm still thinking about it just as much as I did the day it happened.

Being in Neku's body was totally weird, but at least it made more sense once we figured out what the point of the experiment was. You turn into what you love or desire the most. Obviously I love Neku the most. But...he turned into Eri. Me-Eri or Eri-Eri, I'm not sure.

I know, I know...Neku says he loves me. We've gone all the way, we've dedicated ourselves to each other, blahblahblah. If that's true though, wouldn't he have turned into the real me instead of her? Does that mean he desires Eri instead? He's never met Eri, but her body...maybe I had the right idea after all. Eri's prettier than I am, most of our class thinks so.

Shiki, stop it. You're better than this now. ...but if that's true, too, then why do I still feel so crappy about all of it?

This sucks. This whole feeling completely and totally sucks.

[Though the privatized portion of the entry is written, give her a few moments to fiddle and switch it over to voice.]

I didn't really think about it until someone else mentioned it, but it's official. I've celebrated two birthdays here, it's been two years since I've arrived, and I'm not seeing myself leaving anytime soon. I don't think I regret it though.

I mean, I think I've done a lot of growing up in the last two years. I'm seventeen as of a week ago, I've got my own business that's still thriving...well, as thriving as it can be without actually making money, and I've got some of the best friends I've ever met. I really can't say I regret Luceti.

This place kind of makes us grow for the better, don't you guys think? ...actually, now I'm really curious. Does anybody feel like they've changed for the worse since being stuck here? Give me your thoughts, I'm feeling up for some opinions today.

Also, I've decided I'm preparing early for my annual winter blow-out sale. All winter clothing needs to be out of All Passions by the beginning of March. Come by and pick out a sweater or ten!

[With that, she'll just kick back in her shop at the til with Mr. Mew, the journal open and a pop CD playing from somewhere. Come say hi, come call her out on her optimism, whatever.]

When was your birthday?

Welcome to the two birthday club.

I think so too.

[he definitely gave her something for her birthday by the way. probably just some homemade food, but... she can always use edible food right? <_<]

Back on the second. I didn't think it was a big deal, so I didn't really announce it. [Which is stupid since she made a big deal about Harry's iirc.]

Crazy, isn't it?

Somehow I'm not surprised, but you know I like your opinion no matter what, Minato. [Yes. Yes edible food in House 10 is always appreciated <<; Plus Minato's cooking is epic. And of course she gave him something for his, too. Probably homemade. And colorful.]

[ Give him a few minutes after said entry goes up, and Joshua will be approaching her til, carrying a rainbow sweater. He holds it to his body experimentally and shows it off to her. ]

What do you think? Does it match?

[Urge. To Roll Eyes. Rising.] Ugh, I can't believe you found that thing. I thought I buried it at the bottom of the pile.

...it's not as blinding as your wings if that's what you mean though.

I'll be on my second birthday here soon. But I guess it's not been all bad. I've learned a ton of stuff. I'm a better hunter, warrior, smith, and everything.

[But what really sells it is how good things are with Suki now. Otherwise this would have a more depressed taint to it, due to this being the fourth year he's grown a year and his dad wasn't there for it.]

No, I asked if it matched.

Sounds like a lot of people are on their second lately. Maybe I should start making a birthday calendar or something.

Do you think you're better at everything just because you've grown, or because you've had more time to practice everything, Sokka?

Not in the slightest. Take it though, I'm sure you can make better use of it than I can.

Have you gotten past caring whether or not I match?

No, I'll probably still judge you whenever you wear it either way. But at least you'll be aware of it.

You should invest yourself less in appearances, you know.

In case you missed the memo, that's kind of what my whole life as a designer and seamstress is about.

It's better to think positive, anyway.

No wonder you're so worried of which "you" he became.

Seriously. This place cn be depressing enough without us adding negative thoughts to the mix.

How are things?

...excuse me? What are you...what?

Everything's fine.

[though he was missing from school today, if she would have noticed.]

Of course, who knows? Maybe it was Eri he liked more than you.

[Minato's one of those that she always has an invisible tracking device on.]

You sure? I thought you might have been sick or something. [She's just going to wait to see if he brings it up himself.]

...you hacked my journal!? What the hell, Joshua?!

Ah, no, I'm not the one we're discussing here. You're the one with the insecurities.
