It occurs to me now that my birthday is probably coming up, seeing as it has already passed here once before. I was probably dead at the time-- Barge dead, that is, since I am already as deceased as can be-- or in a port, or lost in a flood. I don't know how old I would be... Thirty-two forever, or would I be approaching thirty-four now? I don't feel any older, physically; no wear and tear outside of injuries. Mentally, I suppose it's a different matter entirely.

It's odd to think that I've let my last birthday slip without any thought. But then, I hardly keep up with time at all any more. It's difficult to think of it continuing for me when I'm no longer part of any world. The only way I really ever track it, these days, is through this...

[There's a long pause as he looks over things in his journal and begins to do the math]

Oh, you have got to be joking. I could not have possibly--

[HAVE SOME OUTRAGE]

ONE HUNDRED ENTRIES?! I have been here for over a year; have I really done nothing more with my time than dawdle about with a journal like a teenage girl? This is what my afterlife is?













I could use something to drink. Right now.

[OOC: I've decided that West's a Scorpio, since it seems to fit his moody craziness, so YAY I GUESS THIS MEANS HIS BIRTHDAY'S COMING UP IN A COUPLE MONTHS LOL. But only Billy and probably Morgan would know that]

My...

Oh.

You think I meant that wardens are always and in all instances morally superior to inmates?

I didn't mean that, I'm sorry it came out that way, and believe me, I put a number of inmates, including you, well above a number of wardens.

I was just saying that wardens should hold each other accountable... and since Ethan is not a warden, he's not a paart of that conversation. That's all.

You're using your journal to...complain about using your journal?

Could be worse, sport. If anything? I was expecting pitchforks and sulphur.

[HEADDESK] Yes, I realised the absurdity of it shortly after it went live.

Sometimes it's as bad as all that, but for the most part, I'll have to agree with you.

Nothing wrong in writing about your...life. Afterlife, whatever you'd like to call it. Plenty of men keep journals.

That does seem like a long time, though. My sympathies, I think.

Well, I was never one of them.

Thank you. It's been nearly a year and a half, I think.

Neither was I. I never had the time. But think of it as writing your own history. It's certainly an improvement of some cack-handed supposedly 'learned' fellow writing it three hundred years later and getting it all wrong.

And I thought I'd had a long month or so.

32? Jeez, way to make me feel old, West! I'd be 38 as of a few days ago, if I weren't dead.

When's your birthday, exactly? I want to have a gift ready.

Date: 2009-09-07 09:36 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com
Mmhm, now you know where the bouts of immaturity come from.

October 30th-- yes, right before Halloween. Don't worry about a gift; I don't really want to have a to-do for my birthday.

Why didn't you say anything about your birthday?

Date: 2009-09-07 09:57 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thatlibbychick.livejournal.com
No, no; if I don't get you something, I'll feel like a jackass. Don't worry, I won't go throwing you a surprise party or anything.

Honestly, I forgot I had a birthday to observe. I think I've just drilled the fact that I'm dead into my own head so much, it stopped being important.

Be glad it's only 32. The older you get, the more life sucks.

Need a drinking buddy?

And oh yeah, happy birthday.

From: [identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com
I would have liked to have experienced that, to be perfectly honest. But I suppose this way, I'll never get too old.

Thanks-- I think. It hasn't rolled around yet, this year. As for the drinking, absolutely. Will you be allowed in the pub tonight? It's Morgan and myself, so far.

Getting old's not that great. Trust me. The best times in your life are when you're young, when you've still full of idealism and think that nothing can go wrong.

I think I should be. After all, Peter's not here to stop me from going.
