birthday

(no subject)

I really haven't updated my journal here since my last birthday? I really should use this more...
I turned 20 yesterday. I mostly just had a relaxing day, nothing much to write about there, really, but it's nice to have a day off and just relax now and then.

I think we've both been really busy, it sounds like.

Happy Birthday though, Ruka. I'm glad you had a relaxing day at the least.

Yes. I guess that's what happens when we both have rather time-consuming jobs.

Thank you though! I imagine a lot of people would wonder why I didn't celebrate my birthday more, especially with me turning 20, but I'm more the type to prefer doing something relaxed and quiet.

It's admittedly supposed to be a pretty exciting landmark for a person, reaching 20. But... sometimes it doesn't need any sort of spectacle, right?

... Actually sorta forgot my birthday last month, myself.

Right!

They must be really keeping you busy at LDS for you to forget your own birthday. Is that job going well though?

It's going fine-- it's fulfilling, other than the random itch and scratch of suspicion.

I got a student who's taking my class now at someone's suggestion... but neither of us know who suggested it in the first place.

Is that why you feel suspicious, or is it just in general?
I know a lot of people seem to feel uneasy about LDS in general.

Hnnmm... In general, really. But this is more just the most recent thing that's happened that makes me wonder what's going on.

I am aware at least that people get pretty... Uneasy, like you said, about LDS. Something does seem strange, but I'm not sure what it is. It's still at the point where there's nothing solid that's actually off about it.

It did seem to come out of nowhere and has really... dominated itself within the city. I think that's what makes it feel a bit off to me. It makes me feel uncomfortable.
I know some of the things the company does puts people off too.

Promise me you'll be careful while working there, okay?

... I promise.

Really, first sign I see that something is actually wrong, I'm leaving it, no matter how good the job is.

That definitely sounds like the smartest thing to do.

Well, welcome to legal adulthood, Ruka, and everything it entails.

Thank you, Asuka-san!

Granted, it currently doesn't feel much different, since I've been doing more adult things, like living on my own and having a full time job, for the last few years.

And well, now, we can both legally go out for a celebratory drink, if you'd like.

I'd really like that!

Now to find a place that's modestly tasteful at least...

I'm sure we'll find a suitable place.
