Dana and I made up. I decided that waiting for her to calm down was a dumb idea. I mean, I didn’t want to apologize for what I said. I just wanted to apologize for the way I said it. The funny thing is, as soon as I opened my door to go and talk to her, there she was at my door! She had come looking for me to talk about it too!
We had a good long talk over some hot chocolate in the cafeteria. I’m glad I didn’t wait to work things out. At least this way we can spend more time together before Thanksgiving.

Dana and I had our first fight, and it was a bad one. It started like this. Dana really ripped into Erika in her blog and I didn’t think that was cool. I mean, yeah, she messed up, but we all do dumb things some times, right? Erika already feels bad enough, and yelling isn’t going to help the situation at all.
I think the real reason she’s mad is because I brought up the phishing attack. She was saying that Erika should feel bad because she created all this extra work for us. I said “Yeah, and it was a blast for the Academy when the Phisherman tricked you!”
I shouldn’t have said that, I know. But it’s true! I don’t know what to do. I think I’ll lay low for awhile until she calms down.

Just got back from Officer Ward’s emergency meeting. I can’t believe Erika did all that! Still, I’m really impressed she came forward and admitted everything. I don’t know what I would’ve done in her situation. Officer Ward, Jax, and Sparky said they have a plan to capture Captain Jack Plunder but they wouldn’t share any details yet. I guess we’ll find out soon enough!

What’s with the Internet lately? I haven’t been able to play any of my MMORPGs for two weeks! It’ll sign on fine, but then the lag is so bad it’ll just boot me. It’s so frustrating. My guild needs me! I mean, how are we supposed to enter the Vault of the Dragon Prince without a barbarian? You’re safe for now, Dragon Prince, but once I figure out who’s hogging all the bandwidth, I’m coming for you with my +42 strength great axe!

Before we went to the movies last Friday, I stopped by Erika’s room to ask her if she was sure she couldn’t go. I expected her to complain about her workload, but instead she just shrugged it off and said she didn’t have time.
As I was saying goodbye, she said, “Hey, enjoy the movie! I know you’ll love the part when Commander Xurk fixes the gravity stabilizer. It was so cool!”
That’s pretty low. Just because you can’t enjoy the movie doesn’t mean you have to spoil it for me. Wait a minute…how did she know what would happen?

Man it’s great to have everyone back! I even saw Carlo running through the halls trying to find Officer Ward. Man, can that guy move! I tried to catch up with him, but all I got for my efforts was a sweaty school uniform and a pain in my side. Guess I need to up my Constitution Score!
Dana, Alexi and I are going to see the premier of “Space Commander Xurk” next week. It’s going to be awesome! I’m such a rabid fanboy – I mean, I’ve got the comics, I’ve got the figures (still sealed in their original boxes, mind you)! We asked Erika to come along but she mumbled something about working on a special project for Dr. Keen and stormed off. It’s too bad, but hey, we’ve all got stuff to deal with! I’ll see if I can hunt Carlo down so Alexi doesn’t feel like a third wheel.

I know he’s a busy guy, what with his training and all, but I wonder if he ever has the time to read our blogs anymore. Carlo, if you’re reading this, we miss you! I hope you come back to visit soon so I can show you this awesome new puzzle game I got! Anyway, I’ll keep this short so you can get back to more important things (if you are reading this, that is). Take care!
