Dear Noob,

I don't really know how to tell you this, but you're a pervert. I think I realized it when your dwarf bit me under the bus and I saw you carve your initials into my avocado plant. I'm sure you're high enough to understand the middle east. I'm returning your ring to you, but I'll keep your collection of butterflies as a memory. You should also know that I never openly mocked a new life as a clone.

Warm regards,

This is a journal entry. I'm still alive.

Oh yeah, it's my birthday on the 17th!

"Time, Dr. Freeman? Is it really that time again? It seems as if we've only just arrived. You've done a great deal in a small time, span. You've done so well, in fact that I've received some interesting offers for your services. Ordinarily I wouldn't contemplate them but...these are extra-ordinary times, hmm? Rather than offering you the illusion of free choice, I will take the liberty of choosing for you, if and when your time comes around again. I do apologize for what must seem to you an arbitrary imposition, Dr. Freeman. But I promise, it will all make sense to you in the course of...well, I'm really not at liberty to say. In the meantime...this is where I get off"

"Something in the night felt like a door had
been opened, an echo of the past, an old monster snapping it's
eyes open in the depths of my brain. Closing your eyes forces
you to look at the darkness inside."

"There was a blindspot in my head, a bullet-shaped hole where the answers should be. Call it denial. I wanted to dig inside my skull and scrape out the pain."

Just a few of my favorite quotes from videogames...

Omg, I graduated! Hello World............

Goal: This exercise is basic preparation for going into trance. We want your experience to be relaxing, easy, and joyful....

Steps:

1. Find a comfortable sitting position, either on a chair or the floor, which you can easily hold for ten or fifteen minutes.

2. Close your eyes and begin breathing calmly and slowly, taking about twenty slow, rhythmic, connected breaths into your upper chest.

3. Let all your concerns go. Imagine them vanishing. Every time a thought comes up, imagine it on a blackboard, then effortlessly erase it, or imagine putting each thought into a bubble that floats away.

4. Relax your body. Feel yourself growing serene, calm, and tranquil. In your imagination, travel through your body, relaxing each part. Mentally relax your feet, legs, thighs, stomach, chest, arms, hands, shoulders, neck, head, and face. Let your jaw be slightly open, and relax the muscles around your eyes.

5. Put up a bubble of white light around you. Imagine its size, shape, and brightness. Play with making it larger and smaller until it feels just right.

6. When you are calm and relaxed and ready to return, bring your attention slowly back into the room. Savor and enjoy your state of calm and peace. . . usually it is sufficient to practice every day for twenty minutes or so for one to two weeks to grow accustomed to deeper relaxation and inner stillness.
