Day 7--15:33 Roof of the Temple
I spent yesterday with Roanie mostly. I am glad that whenever I had some free time I spent it with her. Its had to think that I made a friend so fast when I never was able to do it before. But see, the strangest thing happened today. Charamore (?) came down to breakfast with us, and even sat and chatted with Raonie as if nothing happened between them. Two days we haven't seen her or a heard a word from her at all, and suddenly she is buddy-buddy again with Raonie. Its kinda weird. She said (according to Raonie, of course) that she just needed some 'me' time due to some obstacles with her training program. I guess it could be true, and since I am now a friend of Raonie's, that makes Charameere a friend of mine too--at least by default, so I guess I should give her the benefit of the doubt...
Raonie couldn't be happier, which I am glad about, though I am jealous she talks more with the wookiee then me anymore. Well, whatever. Hopefully it'll all work out--it has before. :)
Yesterday, when training with Master Skywalker, he kept wanting to know how I could see into his room. I think he's freaked at what I could have seen in there. :P I kept insisting that I in fact couldn't see the spot on his wall, and that I was just making a joke. But he didn't let it drop, stating he never has seen that kind of utilization of the Force before. Somebody has got to inform this guy what a 'coincidence' is.... Come on, its a freak accident. FINALLY we got around to levitation, though I wish we'd go back to playing with fire. I like fire. :D I did manage to levitate a commlink about 7 inches off the ground, but I still dropped it once he started talking to me. Apparently I need to work on concentration as well as the basic skills. I could have told you I had problems concentrating.
"A Jedi needs the highest level of concentration," Master Skywalker said, "It takes utmost devotion and control over both phyical and emotional aspects of a person."
Okay, so I get excerpts from 'The Best of Jedi Fortune Cookies' every time I lose my concentration or get angry... or most likely both. Whoo hoo fun. I would get frustrated if he wasn't so cute when he quotes stuff. :D ;)
I asked about lightsabers today. He laughed at me when I asked that. Apparently I am a loooooooooong way from that part of the training. I guess that is explainable, since I can't even levitate a donut. :P And it was probably not the best of times to ask right after dropping a hydrospanner on a rock and breaking it in half... Master Skywalker just sighed and said it was okay since I was just learning... I am sure I got the mental message of 'klutz' though... or was that from me? I know what I am--don't lie. :P I really need to work on the mental outlook of the Jedi. I am so not patient enough yet, nor am I near the emotion serenity either. And I love my clothes too much. It had to be so much easier to be like Roanie when coming here; she for one, wanted to. Not that I am still bitter about being here. Its nice, really. I just miss my fancy dresses and my hair dressers. And lord, how Sonora would laugh at me, seeing me all grimy and stuff. But, she was the one that said I never would make a respectable princess. Hey! Its not like it was my fault I slept through the Autumn Festival... yeah....
Anyways, I will get a lightsaber and she won't... so there!
Oh my lord. What would Master Skywalker say to that? Maybe if he grew up with his sister, he'd realize just how siblings are supposed to interact! Maybe he'd be more sympathetic to us younger sisters. Oh and older sisters, like Raonie. I seriously doubt she was all calm and collected when she first got here. Poor kid has 3 younger sisters and a brother. :o I thought one older sister was bad enough!
I have only been here for a week... they can't expect perfection from me yet...
A whole week? Wow it seems longer then that!
I still do not like KP. I can't believe it would be assigned to me by Master Skywalker, when he full well knew I was a princess and unfamiliar with such things. I'll ask him what was up with that.
"CharrieBear and I want to know if you want to go on a nature hike with us!" Roanie excitedly asked at lunch today.
I said that I would love to good, just that they'd have to get back earlier then planned because I had to do KP. The wookiee then commented that she didn't want to end the hike early. I know Raonie was disappointed and genuinely sad when she translated for me, but that is okay. I said that she shouldn't worry about it and to go without me.
"My ankle is kinda achy anyways," I lamely added, trying to make it justified.
Which is why I am here at the temple by myself today. But seriously, I don't mind. I hope the nature hike is going well. :)
