Well, it's official. Une's decided that, since Wufei and I get along so well, she might as well assign him to me permanently. So, we all know what that means:
Chang Wufei, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, four weeks a month, twelve months a year, for the rest of my life...
God, it will be a miracle if we don't kill each within a the first week, especially since she's having him move in with me. If nothing else, I'll finally have a use for that extra bedroom and I'll have another mouth to help me with eating everything – hey, I can't help it if I have a tendency to fix more than I can eat!
Though now that I sit down and actually think about it, maybe it won't be as bad as I originally thought.

Two days ago I set off the smoke alarm when I forgot about a pot of soup on the stove. When I finally turned it off, I think it had been going for five minutes, and there was only about an inch of soup left in the pot. This morning I was halfway through my first cup of coffee when I realized that I'd forgotten to put the grounds in the machine and I was drinking plain hot water.
Lately, I've done a lot of absentminded things like that. I try to tell myself that I won't let it affect me, that I shouldn't worry, everything will be all right.
But I can't help myself. Every time I find myself sitting around with nothing to do (which seems to happen more and more often these days) my thoughts turn to her, and all I can see is her thin, wasting form...
She's so much stronger than I'll ever be... what am I going to do without her strength to support me?

We were halfway to the dedication ceremony when I realized that I'd forgotten to bring my sunglasses along. Usually, I wouldn't have worried because I don't like to wear them in front of the TV cameras (they make me look like I'm a bodyguard or someone from some type of agency), but some fool or another had decided to hold the ceremony at the beach, so sunglasses would be preferable to being blinded by the glare coming off the sand and the water. Better to have your eyes completely hidden then be squinting at millions of people on an international broadcast.
So I had Pargan stop at the gas station and got Wufei to run in and get me a new pair of glasses. I made the mistake of telling him that I didn't care what they looked like as long as the lenses weren't completely opaque and the rims didn't have rhinestones or anything tacky like that. Elegant, I said.
When he came back, he tossed the case at me as soon as he was in the car. The smirk on his face should have warned me, but it didn't, and I told Pargan to go on since we were late already.
We got there and Wufei put on his black "look-at-me-I'm-a-cool-bodyguard" shades, and I took out my glasses and put them on. Then I thought Bad Things at Wufei and his strange sense of humor, remembering that smirk.
Really, being seen on global-TV wearing glasses with pink lenses is _not_ good for one's public image, in my opinion. And despite what others think, I've never really liked the colour.
But I bore it out with a smile – swearing at Wu under my breath the entire time.
He's so dead.

Status Report on the War Against Wufei:
Duo has joined forces with me and has agreed that spamming Wu's Preventers e-mail account is definitely go. He thinks he might be able to hack into that company that makes those god-awful tampon commercials (the ones that look like perfume ads) and use their setup. Usually I wouldn't condone such illegal actions, but in this case it's for a good cause.
We're going to see if we can recruit Heero tonight.
