Written - Late-Night Musings

[whattheytellyou]

You know, I'm used to keeping a journal. Even if it was only a few lines written about my observations from the day, even if only to refer to a certain page in my field notebook, I wrote in one daily before I went to sleep

Snape told me recently that I've become more reserved. I didn't even notice until he'd pointed it out.

I think this is one chapter of my memoirs that I won't be passing on to Mike. For one thing, I experienced the same problem with the repetitiveness of the journal, and for another, he simply wouldn't believe the events that do break the monotony.

Have you become more reserved?

Something like that. Less irritatingly determined to prove myself, at least, and more cautious.

Which is a path I seem to follow wherever I go, so perhaps that's not terribly unusual.

I can see how this place might have sapped at some of your eagerness.

It's hard, but it's not impossible. Or you could go home for a while, if you feel like you need to get your head on straight. [/BIGGEST HYPOCRITE.]

I thought about it for a while. I don't think I could leave Amanda, though. She's making progress.

[batmanschmatman]

That's good.

[creatingalegacy]

Let me guess. You're finally fucking leaving me here.

[whattheytellyou]

I wasn't planning on it.

[creatingalegacy]

You sure as hell sound like you're giving it some thought.

[whattheytellyou]

I was thinking about going camping again, actually.

We are changed, and I cannot even begin to judge whether it is for good or ill. In my own case, I do feel I perhaps have finished growing up. I'm not entirely certain on that one. And I would never want to give up a moment of your company.

[whattheytellyou]

...That's such a kind thing to say, Armand.

[young_idealist]

I do know I'm not planning on forgetting my time here. I've learned too much, and one doesn't grow backwards. I don't want to forget my friends, even when I must say good-bye to you.

[whattheytellyou]

Are you planning to leave?
