OOC: The How's My Driving post has given me the idea of adding one of these to each of my character journals. Since I am new to journal RP and am always endeavoring to get better, I'd appreciate constructive criticism (even if it has nothing to do with the character). So feel free to let me know if you think I'm doing something wrong with the character, or if I am making some newb error in the way I make entries or responses.
All comments for this are screened, so feel free to say what you want, email me or aim me at the contact info in the character profile.

Summer has waxed and even before it's peak begun it's wane again, and while I am pleased that the nights are growing shorter once more, tis the heat I find unbearable. My nightly ambulatories have once more taken me from tree lined streets back to the tunnels beneath the city proper. The abandoned subway system with its glittering mosaics and cool, cavernous winds. To feel that slick chill upon my skin again, reminds me of home, my chthonian nights. I find comfort within the solitude of my wanderings.

The longest night of the year has come and gone and yet winter still waxes colder still. The darkness is sweet, the long nights welcome and yet there is the bitter cold. It drives me within, forces the change in habit. The garden grows neglected, moonflower vines running rampant. A taxi from home to the subterranean courses my nightly ambulatories now take, lantern light for torches and ghosts for companions.
Winter is the time of magic though, of whispered secrets and burned candles. An outlet must soon be found.

Homecoming is always the sweetest after an unexpectedly long away. When By Torchlight asked me to play their halloween show here in the city I found myself wistful and trapped in a world of memory such that I could not refuse them. It was beautiful and I did miss the company of my fellows and the lyrics of songs I myself had written. The surge of power was a gentle humm but this time of year is always a buzz under my skin, reminiscent of days of old.
What was one show became all of the ones in the local area and it was not until they left the northeast that I found myself capable of departing their company. My throat has a most agreeable ache and my skin still feels as though it were made of moonlight.
I am too awash in energy to be still and yet I am uncertain what to do with myself.

[Sent to Perses. A globe that when turned on shows the dog-star at a center of a revolving band. The lyrics (and a demo copy) of a song written for and about him by her former band (she came back to perform the one song on their next album). A black card with spidery silver writing that simply says 'Happy Father's Day' and a set of keys to a Harley Night-Rod Special. The bike will be waiting out front.]

The IAU is the only group who can legitimately name a star and they do not sell the names of stars for profits. Those who have 'bought stars' have gotten little more than a star chart and a certificate. One cannot look up a registry for that star and see the name in genuine astronomical charts.
This means that for the most part, people cannot name stars as gifts for their loved ones. For the most part. I've managed to convince a friend that Asteria should be named far more frequently in the star charts. He managed to convince his superiors. This is my gift for my mother, spreading her name and her glory in a manner that meant so much to her.
I love you, wherever you are.

A time when my lampades would be quite welcome and yet.. it's beautiful. Creepy and uncomfortable, cold and dangerous yes, but so beautiful. I felt.. at home. Truly and completely, but it was not my doing. I would not bring harm to the innocent in such a manner.

The winds of change grow stronger, and yet, they are warmer somehow. I can feel my guest's cabin fever and effects even me. She may go, as she wishes, for I told her mother that I would not hold her against her will.
I wonder though, with warmer weather will there be warmer regard? Will the fighting pause and father remember that son did make him king over the land of the blessed and the heroes?

A blanket of snow has covered my home. The windows are rimed with frost, the gravestones stark and cold against the white of it. It's quiet within and insulated, it feels like the world outside is hushed and I am once more reminded of my underworld home.
I've been reading too much, promised myself I'd stop this and yet to know the paths my own feet would have traveled did I choose a different direction at the crossroads is somehow comforting.

Underworld Party will be held this weekend. Chthonians et al. Please do let me know if you are intending on attending, so that I might make arrangements thus. A simple comment will be fine, or a proper RSVP, whatever is preferred.

I was unaware that Death had already scheduled a party, I would not wish anyone to have to decide or to have a scheduling conflict.
Therefore I shall reschedule our 'family reunion' for the 14th of November.

Since there are so many Chthonians in the city now, I thought perhaps we should break our normal solitary habits and perhaps that I should host a party.
Therefore...
Halloween Party Oct 31st at my demesne [address here]
Costumes are not mandatory but certainly allowed.
[Hati]
I'm having a halloween party at my home, you are invited, of course your brother may come too.

I find it strange, lonely, perhaps that the others are going on tour soon and I am remaining behind. Certainly, I could have joined them. I did not, however, carefully stage my departure from By Torchlight only to return at the moment they spread their wings on their own. It is a closed chapter in my life, something I was a part of that I am no longer. There are many of those in my life, such closed chapters, there are many passages too that I read about now and again that I do not recall myself.
In this time of darkness and solitude, my writing is at it's peak. I have written of my strange encounter with a painted man in a cemetery calling himself The Baron. I have written of the moonlight and what cold beauty he must hold, what power to still elude the hunting wolf. I have written of the darkness that comes earlier, the first breath of autumn in the air bringing with it the faint cinnamon smell of hallows. It is perhaps my favorite mortal holiday. Filled with candy and laughter and yet there is darkness, my ghosts may walk.
I feel a wanderlust too and I think perhaps tis time to begin my nightly ambulatories once more.

Our latest showing has gone well, the fans and the band seem to be coming to terms with phasing me out of things. It is, in many ways, a relief. In others, I wonder if some small part of me will not miss the excitement, the fear that came with being onstage. I cannot say yet, that time is not yet upon me.
At least one of my bandmates knows who and what I am. I do not know how, but he knows. He asked of me that I tell him of the time between. The time that lies before I met them in St. Augustine and yet after the songs of myself and my Pantheon had faded somewhat. I could not, in part because I do not remember all of it, in part because I do not wish to remember parts of what I do.
Would Hades grant me the boon of sipping from the river of forgetfulness? I do not know, and I shall not ask. What I said to him, and what I will say if I am asked again is simply this. Being a household Goddess was not a pleasant experience for me.

Hate black tuesday.
It has become necessary to venture into town again soon. I have meetings that I do not wish to attend. The notes have been turned over to the agent, along with the rest of the songs for the next album. We begin recording in August. I am lately uninspired, perhaps it is a good thing that I am taking my leave from the band permanently.
If any needs anything whilst I am in the city, do let me know.

The nightblooming flowers I planted have finally begun to show their glory, pale faces turned up to the moonlight all along the balcony and fencerows. They're beautiful, really, and yet I wonder if I should be giving myself less reason to escape my hermitage rather than more.
It has been nearly two weeks since I've even left the bounds of my property and the last trip was merely to the corner market to resupply my foodstores. It is easy to remain in silence, to remain apart, separated from the trials and infighting of my pantheon and the others. It is easy to remain here, in the peaceful shadows, but what is easy is not always what is right. Yet, I am unneeded at the moment. Magic continues to grow in the world, despite science, people want to believe, to practice it. My name continues to be chanted upon the soft lips of those who do me honor with their service. I am yet stronger every day and I do nothing with that strength.
This has always been my place though, to watch, to intervene only in the most dire of circumstance.

The darkness approaches more slowly now, I miss it, it is here for such a short time and growing ever shorter.
Many nights I find myself sitting upon the roof, staring at the moon and wondering about my own connection to it.
Things have changed within the pantheon of late, I can feel them, like the moon, like the darkness, like the very magic flowing through my veins. My uncle is here now, as is Zeus, others too, Apollo and Hyakinthos, it grows, day by day it seems.
I am here, as ever, should I be needed.
