ennui

[dirk_gently]

When Gilks first went missing, I was... energized; It seemed like a call to action that could not be ignored. My subsequent actions have come to nothing and the months drag on. My motivation is sapped. Hollister comes and vanishes and reappears and I have no idea what's going on there. It occurs to me I don't really have any good contacts in the Nexus, or I might be more informed. I'd like to blame someone or something else for this but I do spend the majority of my time these days running up my tab at Hollister's, an allowance that seems to continue regardless of her status as a missing or non-missing person.
I need something new, something to kick myself into action again. I need something more interesting to look for than missing cats.

A Black Bishop You scored 1 Power-Finesse, 5 Leader-Follower, 4 Unique-Ordinary, and 2 Offense-Defense!

You are conniving and sneaky, and often overlooked by your opponent. You are content to stay off to one side, allowing the bloodbath to ensue. Then, when the moment is right and the other king has let his guard down you strike! Your indirect approach to things gives your team more options. However, in the big picture you are expendable. No matter how hard you try, you can only reach half the squares on the board.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 99% on Power-Finesse You scored higher than 99% on Leader-Follower You scored higher than 99% on Unique-Ordinary You scored higher than 99% on Offense-Defense

Excellent day to dig a very big hole. Use it to bury your personal bluebird of happiness. The cat killed it.

:P
In other news, I'm getting older next month.

I'm sorry I haven't been around lately. I was wondering where you went, though.

When's your birthday?

[dirk--gently.livejournal.com]

Mostly to the pub, which is an unhealthy preoccupation but since I've given up smoking... What have you been up to? Not getting into trouble, I trust?

November 27 and don't believe a word the great Zaganza says about it.

[sthenyaer.livejournal.com]

I've been... in some trouble, now and then. *this is a teenager eyeshifting and feeling guilty* I've been trying to be good, though. Heck, I think you're one of the people in the Nexus that'd understand most of the trouble I get into.

I shall remember this!

[dirk--gently.livejournal.com]

Oh well, what good is it being a teenager if you don't get into trouble.

[sthenyaer.livejournal.com]

I'll have to tell you about some of the adventures I've had.

... Also, I have a lightsaber.

[dirk--gently.livejournal.com]

I'd be delighted to here it, preferably over a pizza. My life is lackluster in the adventure department these days, althought I know better than to complain because when it rains, it pours.
Really? What's the market price on those? I get too many door-to-door salesmen these days.

[sthenyaer.livejournal.com]

:D You might have to deal with me whining a bit. But I will buy you a pizza.

I dunno. But it's fun. It makes the pretty noises they do in the movies, too.

[dirk--gently.livejournal.com]

For pizza, I'm in.
Yes, but where did you get it? Or was it a gift? I'm curious now, even though I probably shouldn't have one. Especially if I'm getting the front wall fixed.

[sthenyaer.livejournal.com]

It was a gift for my birthday. It's green. :D

[dirk--gently.livejournal.com]

How old does this make you now? Or are you old enough that I'm not allowed to ask?

[sthenyaer.livejournal.com]

I'm fifteen! You can still ask for a while.
