So here's a question. This place still likes hypothetical, doesn't it?

Say a while ago something happened to you. One of those should be impossible situations that you were nevertheless curious about. But you don't remember it too well so you were hoping that maybe lightning strikes twice. Just maybe, you'll get your chance to have it happen again and this time remember the situation with a bit more clarity than the last.

You're just that lucky-- it happens again by some act of divine providence.

But when it happens again everything about it feels strange. It's like looking into one of those funhouse mirrors. Everything about it is off. It feels wrong. You remember all of it this time and wonder, despite it being what you wanted, if you dearly wish you didn't. It makes you question yourself. Why would you want to have it happen again? Maybe there was a reason why you don't remember it happening the first time.

What would you do? What the hell kind of situation would you find yourself wanting to happen again? I'd like to know, if you don't mind.

They do say the joy's in the journey. And I think answers will always be found, just perhaps not to the questions we were seeking to solve.

True enough, isn't it?

You know, I've been here for nearly a year. I just realized that. Talk about a journey, that.

God, has it really been that long already?

It has.

Feels strange, doesn't it? On April 7th I'll have been in this place an entire year.

That's not even a handful of months away. I came just a smattering of weeks after you did. It seems longer and not that long at all.

April will be here before we know it. It's strange.

I'm looking forward to what awaits us here.

Did you want to acknowledge the anniversary in some way? We could all go out, or something. It IS a noteworthy marker, and that's how people generally celebrate things here.

I may call it my birthday.

It's not like I know when I was actually born, though I believe it was in the spring.

It's fitting - it's the day you were born into THIS life.

It is fitting, isn't it?

I'll have to see where I am in April. With any luck, I'll still be here.
