Hello, everyone! As you've probably noticed, we've been having a few problems - I mentioned earlier that something got knocked out of balance, and we had to recalibrate, but in a few days we should be able to drop the emergency measures. Please be aware that there is an incoming storm, class four. General orders for that kind of thing are to report to management for any known threats and follow instructions, but so far what's known is "that might be a little annoying" and "hope it isn't". Theoretically it'll probably be related to the holiday, I think, because a large group of souls focused through the needle of a pin on one thing can sort of shape a thing around them.

That's sort of a really inaccurate way to put it on the technical side of things, but I think it's the easiest way to understand it! At any rate, we'll know more once we're in the thick of things. Please take care as usual; resources aren't exactly what some of you seem to think they are, and we had to expend rather more than usual in the past month or so to keep things with a few of you steady.

You sound like you've got it all figured out, huh?
Sticking it to capitalism and all that.

Well
That's fair
I'll give this holiday something everything tastes better when it's wrapped in pink foil and shaped like hearts.

It does look very appealing, yes.
Although pink and red are usually considered clashing shades, but somehow they manage to look bright and interesting at this time of year.

Right?
And it's ONLY ever during this time of year.
Can't tell if it's just something that's been programmed into us or if there actually is something special about this month.

Maybe we are all secret romantics at heart, and this time of year is considered appropriate to indulge it?

I mean, maybe.
Wasn't it Picasso or someone who said we're all artists as kids and then someone or something beats that out of most people?
Maybe it's like that with romanticism too.
Everyone loves the mushy stuff until they grow out of it, or until it's okay to be into it.

"All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."

Yes, it was Pablo Picasso. And it's doable, but sadly the creative arts are maligned in favour of more "grown up" pursuits.

Perhaps it is the same for the love of, well, love.

I think that might be it.
Idk
Do you ever just think about how you were in you were younger and realize that you used to be way more honest back then?
Everything is so much easier when you care so little about what anyone else has to say
Whether it involves making art or just telling people how much you care about them.

[ ahahaha... ]

If I am to be honest, I don't think my tendency towards telling someone the truth of a matter has changed much. Honesty is much simpler than walking in circles around someone

[ She absolutely can't relate.

But she respects that.

Is a lil jealous of it even. ]


Always?
You always say whats on your mind?
Every single time you speak?

[ ... ]

There are situations where I think it might b better to speak with a little caution.
But for the most part, not making yourself clear or withholding the truth only leads to troubles later on, I feel.
