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!
