Home at last, home at last. That sounds bad, like I don't raz
|
|
Grandpa as damn and it's polar anywise. It's just score being
|
|
home. Friends will come by soon and we'll be off to celeb my 200.
|
|
Mum swears I'm getting my own tram, earnest truth. It's perfect.
|
|
|
|
Before we zipped back home, Grandpa was gabbing about classy guz
|
|
like this QEC node. He says it's from before his time and all the
|
|
people that use it still probably live different lives than we do.
|
|
He said you all might not even use the same words. I don't know if
|
|
I suss it oikea, but I'm digging in. Oh, that mean's I'm trying to
|
|
learn. I ran a note up to my proctor--that's like a smart person
|
|
who tells you things you need to know to grow up--and she told me
|
|
to write this like some classy--I mean ancient--book. I didn't
|
|
believe her at first, but she swears earnest truth. Anywise, I'll
|
|
try my best.
|
|
|
|
Tis the season of my birthing, an anniversary most prestigious.
|
|
Mine bosom companions shall accompany in gayest merriment to
|
|
a celebrated hall in this prefecture wherein I shall shall bask in
|
|
adulations with ebullient mirth.
|
|
|
|
Oh hiss. I can't do it. You all will just have to suss out what
|
|
I mean through my rattle guz. It's my score, ruggd.
|
|
|
|
Anywise, the shindig is this lun. Mum is lending me her 200 dress
|
|
and it fits me perfect like. Ezri is coming by thisnight to plan
|
|
my hair. I'm going red. Do you still have red there? It's razzy as
|
|
damn and Leo is going to spaz when he sees it. He has a soulcrush
|
|
for this musicwriter with red hair and won't shut his mouth about
|
|
her. This will be perfect.
|
|
|
|
Oh, Mum just came by and I told her about the old writing and she
|
|
laughed. My face is red now, like the hair will be. That means
|
|
embarrassment here, by the way. She says I did it wrong writing
|
|
the way I did, but you sussed that, huh? She said no raz or guz or
|
|
score or classy, but say it longwise, like at church. That's not
|
|
bad. I can do that.
|
|
|
|
The party will be at the council hall and we have it all to
|
|
ourselves for nextnight. There's a ceremony in the morning we'll
|
|
have to leave for. I don't know what you call it, but it's when
|
|
they cut up a little boy's wingwang. That probably sounds
|
|
barbaric, huh. Well, don't blame me. I don't do it.
|
|
|
|
Anywise, all my friends are coming, and Mum said Jacinda might
|
|
come in too since they unparted last lun and that's right raz with
|
|
me. She won't bring the insects, though. They don't travel well
|
|
and I don't think the zip would let them on. Overnextday when the
|
|
party ends Ezri and Johanna and I are taking my new tram out. Did
|
|
I tell you that part before? There's a place in Mannerheim we can
|
|
all three stay for few money and see the surface without a tour.
|
|
Mum mapped it out for me and says she'll program it in the tram so
|
|
we can sleep on the way. She's the best classy broad. She
|
|
remembers her 200 trip and wants mine to be special like that. Leo
|
|
and the boys can't come, though. (At least not in my tram. Suss?)
|
|
|
|
Maybe I'll be a natural at the sails and they'll hire me on the
|
|
spot. Can you imagine living a whole life over the surface?
|
|
Johanna says I'll get sick an toss my stomach as soon as I see it,
|
|
but no way. I've seen a vid from the proctors and it's just like
|
|
a crevasse, but above. Anywise, she'll probably toss up, not me.
|
|
She doesn't even like when the zips drop quick. Says her stomach
|
|
eats a bird. Oh, sorry, that's one of our words. They're myth
|
|
creatures that can stay in the air without a lift or engine and
|
|
move around really high using special arms that look like tram
|
|
blades. It's hard to describe.
|
|
|
|
Mum wants to know my nextups after 200 and the end of
|
|
school--learning times. I haven't told her about skidding out to
|
|
Jacinda's, and maybe the sails will call, right? I don't want to
|
|
playdream it now. First the party, then the surface, then my
|
|
future. Spöring is fine, but I think I want an adventure. Do you
|
|
know what I mean? Johanna's 200 is coming up soon and then, who
|
|
knows what we can do together.
