Steel and Strength

 Just realized that I'm being a boring and introverted bum reasonably. I barely know whats going on outside the Art rooms. Going out tonight, finding a bar, whose with me?

 Okay so I was just down in the art room cleaning up and notice 3 things.


1. Glitter is the devil, actually the devil I turn steal and am still covered in glitter, I have a shower and am still covered in glitter,

2. Somebody has used all of the devil and glue and markers and most of my red paper

3. This is completely unfair because the only valentines day card i got was a small red paper heart... no glitter, no marker no nothing...

so from now on no using the art room to make valantines unless you get permission from me first



ps. I'll probably of forgotten this by next year anyway

WOW, I'd forgotten what it was like to have a Christmas at the mansion. Things were quieter over on the west coast.

It felt nice to have a drink last night. I need to make that at least a monthly habit. Jean-Paul and I had a great conversation at Harry's, thanks Jean-Paul. I'm going to take your advice. I'm been thinking about what you said pretty seriously. I'm such an idiot.

Anyway! Warren and I have been talking of going to see Wicked the musical in NYC. Shinobi, I hope you asked Sarah if she wanted to go because we have to buy tickets soon!

The summer seems to be wrapping up quickly. I should start preparing for my classes for next term. Amanda introduced me to some different media that I'd like to experiment with. Something involving metal, photography and other things besides paint. I also want to look into ceramics for the future. On our way to Harry's last night I saw a small woman selling her pottery and I was inspired.

Who's signing up for Art Class next term? I'd like some opinions on what you'd like to see happen.

I apologize to those who had to hear the argument between Illyana and I. I thought I had better control than that.

Just to clarify, I never used the word disownment.

( Ranting, feel free to skip over )

I think it's time I tried out my steel-form in the Danger Room. Anyone want to train?

I've just realized after writing to Ms. Mactaggart that I haven't used my powers since Feburary. I've managed myself perfectly without powers and I'm okay with that. I trained in human form during my entire experience and I feel ready for anything. Being away for so long made me almost forget about being a mutant.

Maybe I'm okay how I am. I can take care of myself. Why do I need to worry about powers? It's hard to balance being gay, being an immagrant and being a mutant, so if I can ease my load a little, why not?

Of course I'm not naive and think that my powers can just go away, but I'd like to not rely on them as much as I've done in the past.

I'm just thinking out loud...

Haven't been in a very social mood lately. Body Guard training taught a lot about keeping calm and secure so I've taken up Yoga and slight medetation in my spare time. I probably won't be out and about in the mansion unless I'm going to the gym or eating in the kitchen.

I haven't been summoned to drive or guard since I've returned. I hope all that training will come in use.

Is Monet still around?

It's been so hot lately. I'm enjoying the new cooler weather, but those past few days were too hot. The pool was calling me and I spent most of my free time there and trying to finish my book, Wicked.

Sorry I've been so anti-social lately. I just haven't been in the mood to hang out in large groups. Lorna, sorry I had to cancel our date. We should reschedule soon.

Illyana, can you come visit me again? I have plans we must discuss. We have a holiday in two days!

I need a full report on what exactly is going on. I've turned out to be a GREAT bodyguard seeing that the moment I check-out of the mansion, the Professor gets locked up! I am very sorry, Professor.

Is everyone okay? Does anyone need assistance?

I feel like a total idiot.

I've been gone a LONG time. My trip was great. I received lots of training and I can drive like none-other. I missed everyone. I'll report in more detail later, right now I just need to spend time with Warren.


It's good to be home. :)
