Live Long And Prosper

12:42am: I should have known that when I spent three hours online playing this, I should have known that this could become an issue.

However, this is an absolutely fascinating game.

4:30pm: One of the better birthdays I've had. Then again, I spent most of it sleeping, so I'm not sure how much it actually counts? But still good, no matter how you think about it. I even got actual birthday cards from all of my sisters.

Joy, you didn't pull some Jedi mind trick on them to get them to send those to me, did you? Otherwise I may be impressed that they actually remembered with their hectic lifestyles.

Lucas, you're more than welcome to stay here as long as you want. It's nice to put that spare bedroom finally to use.

2:03am: So, Spock and I had a very interesting discussion while Joy was sleeping. It seems that fresh Parisian air has a rather calming effect on people. Not that Spock isn't calm most of the time, but there was a lot to talk about. Or think about, I guess you could say.

If no one reads this, I understand. It can be quite long and tedious.

Mais cela est la vie, et nous vivons certainement a l'interieur de lui maintenant. Je crois qu'il y a quelques problemes deja avec les idees, mais... c'est la vie.

( I believe Spock put this much more elegantly than I did, but still...Maybe this could help the Agency? )

1:40pm: Checklist

Hand sanitizer
Camcorder
Doctor's note
Week off from work
Bandages
Neosporin
Plastic bags
Two pairs of shoes
Letters written and sealed in envelopes
Sunglasses

...I do believe I am ready.

8:59pm: ...Definitely not doing that again. Most embarrassing, passing out on your own keyb--

...

Why are my toenails painted pink with sparkles!?

11:42pm: You know, what with it being Saturday and having really nothing to do, I was wondering if it was possible to use the Vulcan nerve pinch on yourself. I did test it out on Scotty first, though. He seemed to be fine with it. It must have been much like another cat nap for him.

But then, he is jumping around a bit more than normal. Perhaps I fixed something wrong with him?

Hm. I wonder if I can try it on mysekdakfalhjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjladfj y6 66yt5g6frrfgtgy6htgy6gtfrrfed4ttgygth6hyujhtg66666666666665frft4ggyhujijkuyhgt6tgyfgtffrv huujkijikjyhgtfrtdrfdtgyyhuuujh7

9:25pm: In which there are now parties with babies involved and wondering how life became this insane...
Kal, Myles, that was a great party. Really it was, I know I had a good time, and it was nice to see everyone.

I've noticed, and so has Spock, a current influx of Jedi among the ranks of reincarnates. Joy, thoughts, reactions? I would think it would be like having the rest of the crew back, though Spock has made note that perhaps the Force would make it seem more like family coming back, even if they are distant cousins.

Work has been slow and steady as usual. I know I shouldn't put so much into it, and really, we can have most of it done by the middle of the week, but I'm not sure what to do with the rest of the time.

However, there is one thing that I have been putting off, but I do need to take care of it before the end of this month. Captain, I have something you might like to see.

9:38pm: With everything that goes on, I'm looking forward to this summer. In the sense that maybe I should take a vacation from work.

...

Actually, neither of us like the idea of that. But with Joy here instead of MTN traveling over and over. Shit, her brother is on here now. This is awkward. Just as well. The Captain and...others...showing up, this has done nothing to help things.

I don't have time for previous business yet. Not right now.

Charlotte? I need to go over the R&D budget for this coming quarter with you. Also, how are you feeling? While there is a 76 percent chance that things have improved, the 12 percent that says things could become worse have us thinking.

( Another recipe. In this case, Vulcan Wedding Cake. )

1:45am: I don't know anything more than what I've seen, and if anyone needs me, I'll be dealing with the computers.

Joy, we should probably talk.

Qu'est ceque mon dieu, si nous avons deja le dirigeant qui meurt, qui dit pour le reste de nous? Nous faisons quelque chose incroyablement imprudent, et pourtant, je ne voit pas d'autre passe de facon ceci.

Je suis sur que le capitaine aurait une sortie educative avec ceci. Il est l'exemple d'imprudent, independamment du corps qu'il est dans.

J'espere qu'elle ne sait pas du francais.

10:37pm: Mindmeld Journey: Part One
In hindsight, I don't want to know what might happen if said cow gets slaughtered. And then eaten.

I may have made a slight miscalculation...

1:42pm: In which the Vulcan says lets go find a bunny....
If I practice the Vulcan mindmeld on animals, is that considered illegal animal testing?

...Something to think about.

1:43am: French has always been a comfort when needed....
These past two months have been a trial in patience.

Spock dit que ceci est ce qu'arrive quand vous obtenez des emotions et tel implique, avec votre coeur a mis la ligne comme ceci, donc parler. Mais alors, pour que parle t elle a lui? Le c'est vraiment juste un autre ami que qui est autour de son age? Suis je vraiment qui vieux que je ne peux pas etre une partie de son exterieur de vie d'est son ami?

Que je ne peux pas dire beaucoup sur les emotions et les sensations d'une fille, surtout l'un avec un etranger de son propre dans sa tete, mais toujours. Elle ne pense pas avant qu'elle parle? Fait elle pense que rien n'a tort quand je detourne les yeux pour un moment et trouve sa conversation a un homme, non, un garcon, qui rien n'a mais l'irreverence pour les femmes, voyant comme il traverse les aimer une boite d'ecrous.

Est elle naive dans sa pensee? J'ai vu son flirter de retour, et peux j'etre l'ami jaloux, ou je devrais prendre gentillement ma feuille et ne dis pas s'amuse? Peut metre Clyde avait raison quand il a dit qu'elle fait la dechirure la plus probable mon coeur de ma poitrine et le transmet, pompant de retour du sang partout comme il va. Peut etre je suis le naif l'un.

Peut etre ceci a couru son cours. Mais je ne peux pas tenir la pensee de perdre elle, et que peux j'offrir vraiment dans le retour qui n'est pas immediatement pali dans la comparaison a ce garcon?

If Clyde should ever show up again, I will kick his ass before telling him that maybe he was right. I am at a loss of what to do.

9:05pm: Work work working...
In times of crisis, I find that work becomes a soothing balm. So there happens to be a lot of work getting done, if anyone actually cares for that part.

...

Joy, I did enjoy our talk, though I may have been so tired and not making much sense. But I hope you're more reassured?

12:06am: Embarking on a dangerous journey...
Its my sister's birthday on Wednesday. But these pictures are making the both of us a little wary about going.

However, I feel no need to get too worked up about them. I was intrigued by the number of pictures there were, as well as who they were about.

Joy, I have a particularly nice shot of you, would you mind terribly if I framed it? Its of good quality and you know that I have never been very good with taking pictures.

9:36pm: I can almost remember.
I'm not in the right state of mind to talk about this.

Joy, are you all right? I'm on my way to you now.

2:03pm: 'Tis the season....
Chanukah is nearly over, and I must say, being able to send gifts over the internet with minimal contact with your family to actually give and receive gifts is a blessing.

Though I am looking forward to spending time with Joy during the rest of this holiday season.

Speaking of which, Clyde, I was wondering if you would like to get together for dinner at some point soon. I do have your gift to give you, after all.

12:43pm: Dare Wars have unexpected consequences.
I am not riding the lift again during this dare war madness. There is a certain amount of respectability that is being lost here.

7:25pm: Are you sure it isn't time for a "colourful metaphor"?
I have had a very pleasant weekend. It is a pity that it has to end so soon.

12:54am: If I were human, I believe my response would be: 'go to hell'. If I were human.
It is astonishing what you will do when you have something that pushes you to be better than you already are.

I believe I may have found that. It is very amazing how human I can be at times, often to Spock's chagrin, and yet, there are times where he agrees with some things that I have done.

I am wondering what I am supposed to do now, but I have enough things to get done on my list that I am positive I will be busy for some time to come.

Que pourrais je dire probablement dans l'anglais que français ne peut pas exprimer pour moi? Je l'exprimerais dans une langue que Spock est plus familier dans, mais ecrivant leur est en bas beaucoup different de parler les tout haut dans le confort de votre maison.

Je ne suis pas excite sans aucun doute d'introduire elle a ma famille, cependant.

8:05pm: You're not going to admit that, for the first time, you made a completely emotional decision?
This job is rather exhilarating, I must admit. Working for Camelot Enterprises, and the work that I am actually doing, has all of my focus on it when I am working, and at least a quarter of Spock's. That is actually a lot for him, so you must all know how exciting it really is.

Joy, there are plenty of boxes still unpacked. I may not have gotten around to them yet.

Clyde, I hope you are well. Thank you for your support, and if you ever come out to London, I am sure you and I can go and check out the logical pubs around my flat.

Vous penseriez que cela est plus près à ma soeur, habiter en London maintenant, serait une grande chose pour eux. Qu'ils aimeraient que leur petit frère était plus près. Mais non, j'obtiens un appel, demandant hier si ce nouveau poste et le nouveau mouvement allaient être une chose permanente.

Vraiment, si son pas les babying me, mothering me, ou me traitant comme s'ils ne m'ont pas voulu près, c'est dur en fait pour chiffrer qu'ils veulent.

J'utiliserais plutôt le Vulcan mindmeld sur quelqu'un je déteste qu'un d'eux. Qui sait quels types de choses pourraient monter une fois vous chiffrez qu'ils disent.

4:17pm: "After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting."
This sickness has both Spock and I worried. Luckily we have not come down with anything; in fact, I should ask Spock if we can come down with anything more than the common cold. Not that I've had a cold ever since he started talking.

Interesting.

Joy, I trust that you arrived home fine, and that you are not sick? I had an excellent time with you. Maybe, if it is not too much trouble, we could do something like that again? Its better to watch movies with someone else and not while you're alone.

Clyde, Thomas, The Captain: Have any of you fallen ill? I have heard that Ari is not feeling well. Is there anything I can do to help?

Spock is pestering me to go out and buy supplies to provide a cure. However, the supplies he needs are not things that I am able to go to a store to get. I am hoping that perhaps this illness will end before it gets too serious.

Logically speaking, I do not think that will happen, though.

3:31pm: That sounds most inconvenient. Have you considered having it removed?
I have worked hard to get to where I am. I am the youngest man in the company I work for. I work opening to closing, I've put in 70 to 80 hour weeks, and I have continuously done more than what my bosses expect of me.

I was third in my graduating class, and first in my financial and business classes. I had top pick of five different companies, and I went with this one.

Neither Spock nor I tend to get very upset. But when something has happened that is neither logical nor right, then Spock gets silent, and I get annoyed.

And then I bake. Don't laugh, as I know how to kill you with my pinky now.

( Starfleet Crescents for anyone wanting to try )

2:24pm: Judging by the pollution content of the atmosphere, I believe we've arrived at the 20th Century.
While of course I enjoy time with my family, there comes a time when I would rather shove bamboo slivers under my fingernails then spend one more second with them.

Take my older sister for example. She lives across the country, and yet, she is unable to pick up a phone to call me to let me know that she has decided to come and spend two weeks with me. And that she is bringing her boyfriend along.

Now, I do love my sisters, all of them. And since she is the closest in age to me, we are rather close. But for the two of them to show up on my doorstep, baggage in tow, and when I have a presentation in the morning for my bosses...I was not pleased, to say the least.

And their reason for coming to Montreal?

A Star Trek convention.

Work was a balm, and apologies for my absence.

10:57pm: Fascinating is a word I use for the unexpected. In this case, I think "interesting" would suffice.
I find that this atmosphere is most comfortable to be in. Everyone speaking their mind is most refreshing. I do not understand why everyone is getting so miffed over telling the truth about how they are feeling.

In fact, at this very moment, I am feeling 60 percent hungry, 30 percent thirsty, and 10 percent amused on how everyone seems to feel that telling the truth is a bad thing.

In any case, I do hope that this continues in the interest of helping to further continuing conversations with each other.

8:14pm: It is curious how often you humans manage to obtain that which you do not want.
Talked to my sister today, the one living in Paris. She said that since she's the one living by on scraps every day, while I'm the one "faire les grands dollars", that I should pay for the call. But really, everything goes into a savings account, and now that Spock is making his presence known (he seems to be a master at passive aggressiveness. He doesn't tell me what to do, but he lets me know what would be a 'good idea'), a lot of things needed to be bought.

Such as state of the art technology.

Il me conduit fou quelquefois. Les pourcentages sur tout, et pendant qu'au travail qu'il aide beaucoup, il se demande aussi de ses camarades d'equipage.

Comment devoir je sais qu'ils sont, je l'un ai rencontre seulement, McCoy, et franchement. ..it serait agreable pour savoir que les ameliorent.

There is a five percent chance that I may get a raise in the next two months. I'm not hopeful. Anyone else in Montreal (or wherever, really) who would like to go out for some good food and some good wine? I need a night out.
