C. and I have been having this weird thing happening, where he says something in my voice, or we don't know who said what, and I get confused and think C. is the core. He INSISTS that I am the core, and he always has this proof, but I think its that he knows that I'm scared I might not be the core. We know that I am the core, but the thought that I might not be scares me.
Zack has gotten more comfortable with us, and, about a month ago, disclosed he was a hedgehog. Kind of an out of the blue sort of thing, but it makes sense. He says he looks like a Sonic the Hedgehog-style character, and when he looks in the mirror, he see's a muzzle and big eyes, and not our face. He is constantly raising his pelvis (when he's in front) and brushing our lower back. He says he's moving his tail, which, again, makes sense, as the part he's always moving is the same part we had cyst removal surgery on.
We believe him, by the way. Everything he says makes sense when he explains it. The reason he didn't tell us before was C. was so fervent on saying "THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS ANIMAL ALTERS!!!".
TK has gotten smart. He refers to himself as the "New TK" when comparing himself to the "Old TK". He's apparently very smart, but, because of his philosophy, he thought he had to play dumb and be all "MURDER!MURDER!MURDER!" 24/7.
Brian doesn't speak at all. He wants to master a "Benedict Cumberbatch"-style voice before he talks out loud. Until then, he is only talking through sign language. Unfortunately, he doesn't KNOW how to use sign language. And we suck at learning new languages, so this could take a while.
Derrick feels neglected, but at the same time, when we pay attention to him, he doesn't want to talk. I'm getting worried about him.
David knows the lyrics to all the songs that get played on 94.9, "The River". We have established he is 42 years old, lived in Boston for 24 years with his ex-wife, Madeline, and moved to Boise because she wanted a divorce because he was gay, and she felt the whole marriage was a lie. He is still devastated that she was so hurt. He's now like our psychiatrist, and he is pretty good.
I haven't heard from JR2 in 2 months. We know he's not dead, because when we ask, he very angrily say's "I'm not dead". But he doesn't speak much outside of that.
I passed 2 out of my 3 classes this semester. When I saw I had a C in Physics, I almost cried. I was so damn happy. Now we have a good 16 credits minimum, 24 credits max... I don't have my chart in front of me, so I can't be absolutely sure where we are, but the fact that were this far along in a year... well, that's just mind-blowingly awesome to me.
So, yeah. Thats basically what we've learned about each other in the past year or so. Not bad, eh?
