When I was six, my older sister shoved me down a hill into a pile of broken glass because I could play the violin better than she could. The glass caused severe lacerations on my face and I also broke my arm.
I've always told people that the scars on my face were because of an "accident", but in reality the only accidental part about it was that my sister wasn't expecting the broken beer bottles to be there.

Well, now that the Rift has seen fit to give me back something resembling a staff again, I'm not actually having to take care of everything anymore. Delegation is a wonderful, wonderful thing.
The fact that I'm working this late in my office on a weekend is really rather telling, isn't it? I really need to get out more.
That, or the multiverse decides that it's a perfect time to give you a kick in the pants and tells you to stop being such a whiny brat because nobody gives a shit about your so-called injustices. Granted, there was also plenty of melodrama and stupid shit to annoy my mother before that happened too.
Man, looking back, some of the stuff I used to do to annoy my mother was pretty good times, even if a lot of it was ruined by the fact that I was too busy being ~*serious*~ and ~*angry*~ about everything to actually have fun.

I've had a decent sized staff and I delegate, but I'm always good at finding something to do.
All the time.[Smirk.] It's telling for both of us. I'm in my office working too. With coffee so it's not like I'm thinking about calling it in any time soon.
I've always been a fan of kick in the pants when they're fucking necessary, and they get necessary a lot more often than people think. Think these universes are all just swimming in their own versions of melodrama.
Now see that's the kind of shit I'd like to hear and if you can laugh about it now, it's what counts.

My original universe was a fucking soap opera. It was ridiculous.
Oh, I've got plenty of stories. It took a while, but after I got away from my family I was able to grow a sense of humor. Which is good, because if you don't have the ability to laugh at yourself in the Nexus you're going to spend a lot of time being miserable and indignant.

One of the most important things you can grow. I think it comes in handy here too even if you still will spent a lot of time being miserable too. If you can't laugh at all, you're just about screwed here and I'm thinking anywhere else.

At least here in Chicago we can blame the Rift for most of my problems. In my original universe, we were the ones causing all of our own problems. It gave a rather personal meaning to the quote "Hell is other people."
I can't say I always appreciate the Rift's sense of humor. At least this thing with the journals is fairly minor, even if it is annoying. Some of the other things I've had to deal with have given me raging headaches...literally.

Fuck, yeah, I'd be in a forever pissed off mood. People annoy me enough as it is, and most of my problems are Rift related.
Yeah, same. It could be a lot worse, but when people have so little in this universe that's under their own control, it'd be nice if they could keep their secrets.

True enough. I suppose I'm just a lot more used to the vagaries of an unstable reality than most.
