Having the only one of something ever made is a heady feeling. Especially when that something is the conclusion to one of the greatest book series ever written. I may take up baking...

Centipede carcasses easily as tall as four buildings stacked atop one another. It's not a sight one forgets. I'm going to be bathing for a week. Send whiskey.

When you plunge headlong into the unknown do you draw a deep breath or hold it as you let go?

I've always been a fan of flaws. Flaws are beautiful. Imperfection is what makes a person engaging, interesting, and it makes them able to relate to others, to understand and forgive. And if you don't have any flaws, you may as well be dead already.

Someone told me recently, talking about the very tricky subject of love, "If the world were ending, who would you go to? That's how you know." It's an interesting theory, and I pray I never have to find enlightenment that way.

It was a lovely private ceremony, and the groom seems a nice enough man. The food was good, the whiskey was wonderful, and now my dearest friend is a married woman.

And I meant every word I said.

I had a terrible nightmare, but then it was replaced by the most beautiful dream.

I did not think the skills I learned in my formative years would be nearly as applicable as they are as a Lady of the Compact. Pleasantly surprised.

I will forgive when there is something worth forgiving. Until then, all the sad looks in the world will not sway me.

A new outfit, incredible conversation, and the fruition of an idea long in the making. Tonight could not have been any better unless a dragonweep stone mysteriously dropped in my lap from the sky.

I have never been more disturbed or more intrigued and entertained in my entire life. My first mirror masquerade attended in the gracious auspices of House Velenosa, and I can honestly say it was a night I will never forget as long as I live. And perhaps the most troubling part of all? Was finding out that the man I intend to marry can dance better than I.

Relationship Note on Camilla

A beauty and a quick study, I spent the evening teaching Camilla Baseborn rudimentary skills with a small weapon in the stunning gardens of the new Pravus ward. I would recommend both the company and the location to all.

Not all things arE created equal. life is so full of choicE and with that choice comes the perfectly natural Deed of questioning existence.

Really, when you think about the nature of Existence, you are well within your rights to wonDer if that existence has a point to it.

i think that What you might want to focus on is the nAture of life itself and all that such a thing entails. if i stop to pondeR all the intricacies of Daily life, it strikes me that Each New day provides many challenges, many choices, and it is in those challenges and choices that we find meaning.

Purpose. Love. one leads to the other and they are both driving forcEs with the Ability to provide meaning. all one must do is Search within to find where thEir purpose lies. it is almost always found in love. perhaps the protection of those they love.

There's a beauty in how deadly efficient that was.

Relationship Note on Ian

A true good sport. I have never seen someone so willing to be garroted to help others learn. Questionable sanity, but great heart and teaching.

Relationship Note on Jyri

Whiskey. I can always count on you for whiskey. I look forward to so much more whiskey in the future. It's not the terribly stupid and dangerous things we do that will kill me, you know. It's the whiskey.

Revelations, when they come upon you, often come all of a sudden. A small piece of the puzzle presented and all of a sudden, you see a greater path to the whole. And the path forward, once it becomes clear, is all the more fearsome for its clarity. The path that asks, how brave are you?

Relationship Note on Ripley

I have to have that ring. I MUST have it. Why do the incredible crafters of this city torment me so! I think I shall die if I it isn't mine.

Relationship Note on Ida

Dame Ida. She is a wonder. And a bit of a sadist, I think. How will I ever bear to part with these glorious blades and hairpins? I would accuse her of making them incredible just to torment me, but I know from experience that everything she makes is spectacular so I cannot. Still, they will make an exciting addition to the event. If I don't cancel it so I can keep them...
