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.

Guess it's like one of my favorite books says, there's some things you can't share without ending up liking each other. Or turning into family, sorta the same thing.
You're a good guy, Piotr. :)

It's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. And I bet they have a copy around here somewhere--if they don't you can borrow mine.
It's about a kid who discovers he has special powers, and then goes to a school full of other kids with special powers. They could use it for recruitment literature for here, actually. :)

It's a great book! I really can't wait for the next one to come out...
And hey, Piotr. I know it's available in Russian. I bet we could order it from amazon or some place and you could read it to Yana... I think she'd like it too...

Thank you Kitty! I would like to read this in Russian and then maybe if I like it a lot I could try it in English.

Ok. Sometime this weekend we can go online and order it from amazon or someplace... I'll look into it. :)
