Finally we arrived today! ^^
Getting out of the train station was a bit busy but it was so nice to be able to finally get off and be on non-moving ground again. Don't get me wrong... I loved the train but I forgot how much I loved not constantly moving!!
So after fighting through the crowds with our luggage we got a cab to the new location and ended up there earlier than we expected ((around 11:30am~!!)). It was really exciting to see everything for the first time and being able to see what Miss Daae was actually talking about. As expected, everything was right on schedule thanks to Albel's exceptionally good people skills... ^^;; He's a special fellow... but it seems as though he and Janaff somehow get along well??? (o_o)? It really confuses me... All I know is that I should be happy. Albel is known for his... everything... so being on his good side seems like it will work out wonderfully for us. It's hard to imagine that he's still just a kid though...
So... Anyway, things are going very well. It was decently relaxing and very exciting to see how everything is going. It looks as though for the next few days Albel is going to show us around and introduce us to people. I hope everything goes well. I can't imagine otherwise really though ((besides Albel perhaps being mean to someone... but that's to be expected I suppose...)).
I'm really happy Janaff seems quite happy though. I was a bit worried about him the day before last and he unknowingly woke me up last night while he got up to post in the journal. I think he really enjoys getting out and seeing new things... Not that I don't but his enjoyment is a special candid kind that can really make things fun. ^^
So wish us luck for the next few days in our adjustment to our new environment. I'll have to call Miss Daae tomorrow with an update I imagine since I forgot to do that today. I hope she isn't angry... It was just too exciting for me to remember to do that! (>.<)

Can't sleep!
Heh, I'm finding myself unable to sleep all the sudden. At the rate I was going, I was gonna wait till we got to the new place to write another entry, but the fact that our scheduled arrival is tomorrow is filling me with lots of anxiety, so I'm having trouble getting some shut-eye...so maybe writing out my thoughts will help get things off my chest!...er, mind.
After spending such a long time on this train, it's weird to think we'll finally be off it by tomorrow morning. I kinda got used to living on this thing...I shouldn't get too carried away, but it's hard when it's so accommodating...and peaceful. Well...I wasn't really feeling so peaceful the first day or two while I was busy checking out every corner of every car in my enthusiasm, but today, I spent a lot of my time just relaxing and soaking in the last day of our train ride. Jensea thought something was wrong since I was being so quiet ^^; But I was just thinking about a lot of things, I guess. I spent a lot of my time today just...observing other passengers. Seeing as I don't spend so much time with normal people in a normal environment, all the different passengers and their variety of agendas was sort of...intriguing to me.
I initially boarded this train expecting to see a bunch of boring passengers just focused on their destination and it's purpose, sitting in their seats and reading or doing work and things like that...but there are so many people on here that are just enjoying the ride, and the aspect of traveling. Jensea and I have been acting like two little kids running around and seeing all the sights, but there are a lot of other people just like us on this train...enjoying the food, the scenery, playing games, and just generally enjoying themselves. At the end of the day, it's interesting to see just how many people are really just like you. I doubt all of them are being transferred to new locations for business purposes...but there's still a lot that we all have in common, I guess.
So...tomorrow morning, we'll be off the train. We still have quite a bit of ground to cover afterwards, but we'll be taking a bus from there. We're still running fine on schedule, so we should be at our destination by the afternoon!
Heh, this entry took me longer to come up with than I thought, so I'm thinking it wound up draining the rest of my energy...I really want to sleep now! @_@
I'll update again tomorrow...it's gonna be a busy day!

Just another day on the train
Just another day on the train...
I'm surpised that neither I or Janaff seem to be bored of the train yet. It's neat because it seems as though there's a never ending cascade of interesting things to see or do... Even when we're bored there's always something to see out the windows. We rode along the side of a river today and it was really beautiful. Janaff was especially excited and we raced all the way to the last car so that we could go out onto the caboose. It was a beautiful day and the breeze coming up from the river felt really nice...
One thing Janaff and I seem to really enjoy is the food on this train. I'm addicted to the little sandwiches they make ((I'm eating one now as a matter of fact!))!! They cut off the crust and it's just very neat and handy. My favorite is the veggie sandwich! It has grilled vegetables like eggplant and zucchini and... some other stuff... with provalone cheese. It's really awesome! I think I may consider telling Miss Daae about them. Perhaps we could start up a little cafe! I wonder how much it would cost to run it...
Anyway, it's rather late... Janaff already fell asleep it seems. I guess I'll go get ready for bed too. ^^
So until next time!!

Journal it is!
Sooo...it looks like Jensea is having us keep a journal - er, chronicling, if you will, of our journey to the "new location" (as everyone else is calling it...it makes it sound awfully mysterious, don't you think??) which I'm guessing is also going to record our progress once we arrive there. He's been encouraging me to make an entry these past few days, but I only just got around to doing it finally (thanks to his "friendly reminders" all day! sheesh...). I guess I've got nothin' better to do at the moment.
So...Hiya, whoever's reading this!...though I'm pretty sure it's just for personal use...though I don't really know who'll wind up getting their hands on this...I guess I just feel like it's more courteous to start off with a greeting?? Gah, I don't know...maybe I'm just saying hi to you, journal! Haha...
Anyway, it's been a couple days now since we boarded the train to Miss Daae's place. It's really nice on this thing! I prefer flying, so I wasn't really expecting much, but the accomodations are great! We even have our own cabin with super nice beds all to ourselves to sleep in! Which sure beats trying to take a nap in a chair...I'll have to make sure to remember to thank her for that. I'm not sure I'd last this long in a normal cabin...or whatever's the "middle-class" method of traveling for several days on the same train...or maybe everybody gets cabins...? I dunno, I'm kinda new to this whole thing ^^; But it's really convenient either way.
Thankfully, there's a lot of stuff to keep me busy! The train's really big, with a bunch of different cars, so there's a lot to see. One of my favorite places is the food car...the food on this thing is delicious! Jensea seemed pretty impressed too, even. I've been dragging him along to see everything lately. I was thinking he'd wind up being a huge bore, just staying in our cabin the whole trip...but he actually seems pretty interested in tagging along to see the sights. I'm beginning to think we have more in common than I used to believe (which makes sense, since we are twins and all)...I guess I'm just used to seeing him inside this little box since it's been so long since we've had time together like this...
...but he's still kind of a nag...=_= At least he's more responsible with all the official stuff. I guess he just wants to make sure everything goes smoothly.
It helps that I'm the kind of person who's enthusiastic over the little things. The train ride is turning out just fine, and I'm excited to see the new place and start working on it!...but, when I think about it...I might be a little homesick. Already.
I don't think I'm gonna miss where we were, I'm all for going to new places...but I feel weird being separated from everyone. This'll be the first time in...well...for as long as I can remember that I'll be away from Ulki and Tibarn! What are they gonna do without me!?...Alright, I know they can take care of themselves...but geez, I feel like I'm missing out! I don't even know when everyone's gonna make the trip, so I haven't the slightest idea of when I'll see everyone again! Though I guess it IS pretty cool that Miss Daae picked Jensea and I to be the first one's from our group to make the trip and oversee construction of the new location. Maybe it's my eyesight that made her pick me! Hehe...though I hear from Jensea that Tirnak was picked to come and help us...of all people, we have to have some stubborn, deadpan, overgrown cat accompany us!? Sheesh...Miss Daae knows how frustrated I get when I have to work with him, doesn't she!? *sigh*...but I guess that's besides the point.
...I guess I'm trying to avoid thinking about what I'm probably the most troubled by. I'm not one to dwell on or even notice things that make me...well...sad, but...there is someone in particular that I'm gonna miss. Worst part about it is that I didn't even get to say goodbye before we had to leave, y'know? It was something about having to "get things cleared" elsewhere, so he left for somewhere else a while before our own relocation. I haven't been able to contact him myself at all, so I don't know what exactly he's up to, and now that Jensea and I are moving...he seems awfully far away.
Heh...before he left, though, he did leave me with a photo of himself...told me to keep it with me so I "don't get lonely" while he's away...
Gah, who says I'd get lonely over HIM of all people going on a little business trip!? Heck, it's nice not having that furball hanging around all the time...Stupid cat...
Well!!! This has been...long. I got more into this than I was expecting...ahahaa...^^; S'kinda embarrassing...
Hopefully, we'll arrive at the new place on schedule and everything goes smoothly! I'll see if there's anything interesting to update with before our planned arrival, but if not...Monday it is!

A Start
So Janaff and I started making our way to the new location. It looks like we're making good time and will be arriving there sometime in the afternoon on Monday. I'm a bit nervous but excited at the same time. Janaff seems really excited... He's been really upbeat and just... happy lately... though I've caught him staring at a picture inside his wallet with a bit of a lonely face.
It seems as though he might end up getting homesick?? I don't know it seems unlike him to me. ^^;;
Anyway, enough about him. I can't wait to see what the new place will look like. Miss Daae said it was really great so I can only imagine that it would be so. Of course, once we get there we'll have a bit of work to do. We have to see how the constuction of the new club, store, and restaraunt are going and then we have to check up on the schools (@_@)... It seems like it'll be a bit overwhelming but Miss Daae said that we don't need to rush. She mainly wants an update on each of the new locations by the end of the month which isn't bad at all. Hopefully everything is going according to schedule though with Albel in charge I can only imagine what kind of horrible things he'd do to the workers if they slacked off...
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Miss Daae called today and told us that she'll be sending Tirnak to come help sometime soon. He just needs to finish up a few things back at the old place and then he'll be on his way. I was a bit unsure of her sending Tirnak of all people first but she said that it would be a good opportunity for him to loosen up a bit. I'm just afraid he and Janaff won't get along too well... I know them both quite well and I must say that their personalities seem like they could only lead to misunderstandings and arguments (@_@).... I guess this is why I'm around... If I'm good at anything it's talking reason into lump heads... hahahaha
Well anyway, I'll try to post again sometime soon... If anything, I definitely will have to post an update on Monday!!
