Do you think there's a limit to how happy you're allowed to be?

[The text that hits the network this morning is anonymous and abrupt, with no fanfare to it; it's just...out there.]

I always thought things like that were bullshit, but it always ends up like that, yeah? You get too happy and something takes it away. You become the best at what you do and then you're on the wrong end of a scrappy underdog story and a bunch of down-on-their-luck jerks pull something out of their ass at the last minute. Everything you've done for years is wasted because it's just not your fucking year.

I don't like thinking this sort of thing's a zero-sum game, but it always is.

Does this happen to everyone, or am I just "lucky" like that?

[Well. Seems someone's having a hard day.]

So do you guys ever still think about how bizarre this place is, or do you pretty much just get used to it after a while? It's weird as hell, the stuff you just start accepting after a while – you don't even think about how most of us came from a place where cats don't hatch out of eggs.

(...I say "most" because some jerk out there's going to pop up and prove me wrong, you just watch. Even if you also hatch your damn cats, I'm pretty sure there's something here that's out of the ordinary.)

I don't know if there's much point to this, but there's not much point to anything that goes on around here, anyway. I don't know, even if this place is better than whatever's going on back home, sometimes you miss being useful, too. Another thing to get used to, I guess.

...No, really, I am getting sick of the kittens-from-eggs thing. I'm going to have more cats than I do Swablus at this rate.

I'm not really the sort for philosophical things, or romantic things, and I think I've told at least one person that I'm not good at Zen stuff, either. But once in a while something happens and it just sort of makes you think about the sort of stuff you wouldn't normally, I guess.

Do you ever think that we were brought here to meet someone specific? To maybe have an experience that we wouldn't have back home, and even if we won't remember it, for a little while we'll turn out better for it.

Or something.

Maybe it's just the season making me all nostalgic or something, who knows. It's a stupid question anyway. But it's something that I've been wondering about once in a while.

No one seems to know why the hell we're here anyway; that sounds as good as anything else.

'Cause I'm a tough-shit friend; I reckon I'll stay with you to the end

I know I'm awful, but I'm going to love you 'til one of us dies
