major_westIt 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]

Date: 2009-09-07 10:36 pm (UTC)Oh. Right. Yes, I attended university before enlisting, so I was a bit older than you. I'm not sure which channels you had to go through to attain your rank in your time, but it was likely different in mine.

I'll admit that I did not just get it for proving my worth in battle, but knowing people who turned out to be in great political power. I imagine yours was much more fair.
He's not going to admit his super privileged life helped him out :c
Date: 2009-09-07 10:58 pm (UTC)It's... more fair, yes.
awh, west, awh.
Date: 2009-09-07 11:05 pm (UTC)Good, I would hope so.
