Mako's Message: Not much to say here, really. Not about this chapter at least. I will say that I'm very happy with the entries I've received so far and that even with just three it'll be a tough call, but I still hope to see some last minute entries.


Dave said I scowl like a baby otter.

When I told him to explain, he said it means, "You're cute even when you're trying to look angry."

So, on the one hand, I am not cute when I scowl, I am frightening. On the other hand, he thinks I'm cute, and while I'd rather he think of me as so-hot-he-can't-keep-his-hands-off-me... I'll take cute. Besides, I know I'm not hot. I don't have the tits, the legs, or the ass for it. I'm thin and wiry. Strong, but there's not a single curve on me.

I guess my hair is nice, but that's not gonna do me much good.

There was also the text message waiting for me when I woke up on New Years Day. I got it at 12:30, just after I fell asleep. But it means that he was thinking about me even though he was with Katie.

It probably doesn't mean anything but I can pretend it does.

Anyway, the reason I was scowling was because we we're talking about our resolutions, and I'd mentioned that Marcus' was to get me into a dress. I didn't think it was that funny, but the others did. Katie was completely with Marcus on this one too. She said I'd look great in a dress and asked why I didn't wear them.

"Because I don't like girly shit," I told them.

She raised her eyebrow and looked at the Rainbow Dash patch on my backpack.

I told her, "Rainbow Dash isn't girly. She's awesome."

Katie just sort of smirked like this was some sort of joke only she was getting and went back to her homework.

I didn't make any resolutions, but Todd and Marty did. Marty was keeping his a secret, but Todd's was kind of.. odd: Become 20% cooler. I guess it could have been a coincidence, but "20% cooler" was a Rainbow Dash quote, so, does Todd was MLP: FiM too? I'll have to ask him in private sometime. I didn't think his fragile ego could take getting called out on watching a show for little girls in public. Maybe I'll just make a joke he'd only get if he watched the show...

Or maybe I'll just let him watch Ponies in peace. It's not like it's important or anything.

Dave's was to "Be able to run 3.25 miles without feeling like I'm going to die."

He hasn't talked to me about it, but I guess that means he want's to go for those runs more often. Maybe every week I'd love being able to get out of the house more, and I've been getting kinda lazy with my morning runs. This is just what I need to get the enthusiasm for it back.

Katie's was just to get As in all her classes. I thought she already did, but I'm not gonna toss away any proof that little miss perfect isn't so perfect.

Maybe I should make a resolution or the new year... like, "I will get Dave to kiss me." It's not what I really want, but you have to start small after all.
