Forgettable: Implies that one may be mediocre or uninteresting. I wonder which of the two I am.
I try to not be offended, but I find that I am. Which does not imply that because I am offended that I am right, but I am regardless. I must send the kindest regards for the waste of time and effort on my part. I suppose my expectations are, well, not high in truth, but I did not expect to hear the information from Alexandrea to say in the least. I am grateful for it, of course, but it just shows how forgettable I am.
Alaric has agreed to accompany me to Germany. Regardless to the fact that I can decipher the language, it will be easier for me to have someone that can decipher it without a program. And speak it back without the needed delay as I try to decipher my thoughts into a native tongue.
I have been to a new place nearby. Chalktown. There are men there that are green in skin tone. I have never seen such a thing anywhere else. I do not know their stories, but they are usually worthy foe and I enjoy the change of scenery. It is quiet there, which is also nice.
I believe I know which I am. Time has dulled me. This city has made me comfortable. I no longer need to travel and learn new things to stay alive from foes and enemies to us kindred. I have become uninteresting.

There was an unexpected surprise I stumbled upon the other evening. Alexandrea has added me to her bloodline board. To the Quartermaine board. It seems as if she has taken the place of Rebecca, which is good for the bloodline. Needed since she has been gone some time. She has been doing a fabulous job and has meticulous organizational skills. I am most honoured to be considered part of her family.
I have been enjoying my lessons with the cello. I have made some small progress and feel as if I could play a very easy song, and rather juvenile piece with much success. My fingers used to be sore, but they have slowly gotten used to the pressure that needs to be applied to the strings.
Diederik planted the monkshood, but informed me this evening that as he drove by that most of the bushes have been destroyed. Burned, he said. Pity, I should have made something and sent it instead. As tempting as the thought is, I will accept 'defeat' if that is what one can truly call it. Besides, perhaps it is time I take a page out of the book of many. What is not seen, is easily forgotten. It works for them.

Though they are perhaps the hideous thing that has ever been created for a woman to wear, I concede that 'wellies' have their purpose. In some rare, circumstances. I am almost positive I could find something a little more feminine to replace them at some point, but for now they will do in the sunken cathedral where the werewolves, yes, werewolves, can be found.
An interestingly, yet beautiful thing occurred while I was wandering the area in Tomkin. I am used to most my adversaries dispersing into ash or black muck, leaving little to no blood anywhere. The wolves however...bleed very well. I had just dispatched of wolf when I noticed it floating in the water, and the result inspired me. It was absolutely mesmerizing what transpired. The way the blood distributed itself within the water, with no reason and no rhyme. It sort of had a life of its own, even after the owner had been long dead. I stood staring at its magnificence for a while, before the idea struck me. Why had I not thought of it before?
I killed another, then tomed home with the wolf's remains. I am most pleased with the results.

This evening has presented a long line of fools.

I must purchase something nice for Alexandrea, or do something nice for her. I confessed to her taking over in the affairs of Quartermaine, but I was not aware how much she had grown over the years I have known her. I called and she did not hesitate to come when I asked her of it and then we had tea. And we discussed the thing upon my mind-the reason I asked for her company.
She gave me her opinion, though she could not give me any advice. I do not fault her in that, not in the slightest. It was her opinion and expertise I was seeking, yet she had none in that specific area. Still, she was honest and shared with me a poem that her mother shared with her. She was lucky to have such a woman for a mother. I wonder what it would have been like if mine were half the woman Alexandrea's was. A few verses in the poem remain embedded within my mind. And a few things she said as well. It is good, sound advice.
I should not say it is a 'good thing,' because it is not, but it was...interesting to see that one does have a very one tracked mind with everyone. Sadly, the occasion could have done without it, but since it bothered her not...still, humans only get so many birthdays. And was it not strange how he kept referring to her as 'kid?' Just how old is she? I did not dare ask, but it is a strange way to refer to someone.
Diederik should be glad he is so damn useful in regards to my businesses. He is also lucky that I have a back up plan because he is so...disappointing.
Act as if it doesn't matter, and soon it won't. I like that.

Charles shot me last night. I have been shot before, but I have to admit it certainly was an unexpected, and unfavourable 'surprise.' I stated as such and then he feigned ignorance on the entire thing at first. He did apologize, eventually, and tried to make amends by offering to be shot twice, but I declined such an idea. Mostly, because he offered to not heal the wounds and in truth, I was afraid I may very well incapacitate him. It seemed hardly fair or just for a flesh wound that I healed within half an hour.
We came to an agreement and he was almost too eager. I believe he has something planned; knowing him. Some way of getting out of the agreement, perhaps? Or ending it sooner than later? Well, he will certainly be informed if and when he is not living up to the expected agreement while on our 'date.'
Anyways, I have started a small series in my paintings. Diederik finds them to be slightly morbid, or 'creepy,' as said by him specifically, but they were not made for him. They were made for my enjoyment and I am happy with how they turned out.
I have come across a small problem with attaining a passport with Alaric. It seems it could take some time to acquire this passport. I wish Regan were around. He was most helpful with these matters. I will have to take a different approach, it seems. I do not want to be gone around the holidays; simply due to tourism.

After acquiring four potential driver's licenses for Alaric for a passport, I had come to learn too little too late that there was an easier methodology that would take far less time. It was by accident that I stumbled upon the information about 'The Quill and the Brush.' I had never heard of the place, but when I went to update some information about one of my own businesses and browsed through the business listings, it piqued my interests.
I had found everything in which he would need. A driver's license, though I suspect Alaric will never use such a thing, much like myself. A birth certificate and finally, a passport. It took a mere three days, instead of ninety potential days to acquire the documents. Well, it is not as if they need their driver's licenses anyways. They are not going anywhere any time soon. Our secret. I suspect Alaric would not be very...happy to hear how it was I attained them. And so, now he has his alias and all his documents. All that is needed are tickets and we should be ready to go. No matter his reasons for coming, I am glad for it. After our conversations about his family and his purpose, I believe he needs the trip more than I do. Could I leave well enough alone, as Diederik asked? Certainly. But will I? No.

I received an email from Wendigo about my inquiry in regards to the flesh gift tome. He, like others assure me it is only for wraith guides, but we shall see, won't we? He wishes to know about any developments I may make, which I would be glad to share. Doc has mentioned him a time or two and seems to hold him in high regards, so I do not mind sharing any information with like minded individuals.
Alexandrea is helping me acquire some of the items...between the two of us we should be able to attempt such a ritual at least once. Apparently it needs to be done more than once, but we shall find that out for certain too. I did ask her thoughts on Tomkin and Chalktown, and the thoughts on our species dying there. She gave a wonderful summary of both places and I find her cantor and perceptions amusing at times.
I refer back to the poem she shared with me often. Each time I read it, I understand it more and more and find a new phrase within it that I embrace and agree with. I think I will write it down in my journal some eve just in case it is ever lost. I wish she would have shared a poem like this with me years ago, but I suppose I was not as forward with her then, as I am now. Shamus and the loss of him was my burden alone to deal with, for everyone has a sad love story and needs to hear not another.
I have not seen Doc since our date and I suspect neither has Amalea. I have seen her, but not him. I have not asked her as much, but knowing what she means to him, it seems strange to not see them together at some point. It is tempting to slip into his thoughts, but I remind myself that the agreement of mindspeak was made with the promise of not diving into his thoughts and memories. Though, I have noticed other things, and I can only surmise that my perception of things were correct. Good for him.

The experiment will have to wait until I return. Everything is finally in order for Alaric with his paperwork and needed documentations. We still have to gather some items to replace those that we will use, so there is no immediate hurry, even though an answer, whatever that may be, would be most advantageous.
We leave in a few evenings. Everything has been arranged. From the flight to the hotel rooms. Alaric's reasoning and mine are different for going to Germany, but I could not very well tell him my true reasoning. Still, that reasoning should not take up much of the trip, though it will take time to research the woman's habits and patterns.
I will not be back in time, but I suspect that does not matter given things as of late.

I finally managed to get around to printing off the poem that Alexandrea shared with me last week. This will be my last entry for a while. Perhaps indefinitely.
After a while you learn the subtle difference
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn`t mean leaning
And company doesn`t mean security,
And you begin to understand that kisses aren`t
contracts
And presents aren`t promises.
And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head held high and your eyes open,
With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child.
You learn to build your roads
On today because tomorrow`s ground
Is too uncertain for plans, and futures have
A way of falling down in midflight.
After a while you learn that even sunshine
Burns if you get too much.
So you plant your own garden and decorate
Your own soul, instead of waiting
For someone to bring you flowers
