x_multiplemanI actually finished backreading this system yesterday, but it took me a while to figure out if I had anything to say about it.
I mean, it's not every day you find out that the place your parents sent you so you'd be safe had just been attacked the week before by the U.S. government.
But, I mean . . . now that I know that, it does answer a lot of questions, like, why people have been so edgy, and--
Damn, though, if I hadn't backread like that I dunno if I would've known much was wrong, I mean, I thought you guys were just sort of quiet, and maybe having some trouble with your powers. A week ago today you guys were hiding out, or captured, or on the run, and . . . now you're going to class and planning barbecues. I don't want to say it's like nothing ever happened, because I can see that stuff happened.
But I guess what I want to say is, I think I'd still be a complete wreck if I'd been here last week. And you guys aren't, and I really admire that.
And if there's anything I can do to help, I don't know what, but if you guys think of anything I can do, there's pretty much always a spare me around to do it.
I think I still have a lot of thinking to do about this stuff, so this may not make a lot of sense. But I just thought I should say something.

Hey, we're resilient. That's part of what being here's all about. That's part of what being what we are's all about.
And I'm pretty sure not everyone's taking it as well as ya think. They just don't show it. I worry for them, 'cause. I dunno. I'm kinda not prone to being depressed and stuff, and when other people are, I want to help 'em. But they don't usually WANT help, or to talk to me about whatever, and...
I'm rambling in your journal. Sure you don't care. Sorry. ;)

Nah, I don't mind rambling. I'm feeling kinda rambly myself.
And if you want help, uh, with the helping, hey, us farmboys from K-states gotta stick together. :)
For one thing, I'm gonna pull out all the stops on the grill this weekend. Man, no wonder everybody jumped so hard for the barbecue. Well, any reason to show off my no-look inter-dupe burger flip. ;)
