Dear Diary.
Maybe the Library crew was on to something... Currently its borderline impossible for me to make an Original spell. There's two main reason on why I it would take me the rest of my life and then some to make an original spell.. First and foremost is that I'm at best like a mediocre mage. I know maybe 5 advanced spells, maybe a dozen medium spells and exponentially larger amount of basic spells. See for a human that's an incredible feat, but for mages in training. That's basically child's play. I really thought I made huge progress when I learned my first Advanced spells and I guess it is on a personal level, but on a magical level it's nothing in the world of magic and what not. Now for the second point I want to take from and old age quote of "Originality is dead." Or something in the lines of that. I can probably make a super basic spell just with my fundamentals of Magic and what not, but there's a hundred percent chance that it's already made, if I tried to make an advanced spell it would take me forever. I guess that makes the only option the medium level spells, but that takes the worst of the two other levels and make it not worth my time... But still... It would be pretty cool to create an all original spell.. Anyway The day was nice enough for me to take Flan out. Even with all the chasing that I had to do to keep her under the parasol, it was nice to see that little vampire girl frolicking in the snow. Oh and the donation thing, it's basically routine at this point. Go to the red and white's shrine, donate, make small talks and leave. This time was hearing her whine about how cold it is. Which I found kind of weird since it's actually been pretty mild for a winter.. oh well..

Hung out with the library crew and Flan in the library during work today and we even had a visitor that Flan actually liked, granted the affection looked pretty one sided. It was that witch Girl. Melissa or something. This sort of gave me a bit more time to chill by myself. The witch girl and I made some small talks afterwards and Before she left she mentioned trading spells or something like that.. Is that a thing between mages? The Librarian seemed pretty annoyed at the whole thing so I guess it isn't a thing.

I visited the Village today. I had a bit of an awkward encounter with Konpaku.. she seemed still upset and when she saw me she bolted away before I could do anything. After that it was quiet... I should have done something.. I don't know...

Well, I talked to Konpaku and her Boss regarding her losing the fight against me.. Konpaku's boss explained that she's more upset at herself for losing but seeing me just triggered that... I had to talk with Konpaku's boss to sort of defuse the problem, and in the end I agreed to spar with Konpaku once a week. Why.. Why does it have to devolve into something like that.. Can't I just buy her food for a month or something? Well... I didn't want to upset Konpaku's boss I inevitably agreed on the terms.. It's once every Saturday.. the only good thing that came out of this is that it starts next Saturday.. Still.. fun fun..

Dear Diary.
Holy shit I almost forgot about Christmas... I actually don't even know how I forgot.. I asked around and the Fairy maids weren't too sure, when I asked Meiling she said she's heard of it but don't know too much, The library crew didn't know much Flan apparently knew a little and Remilia.. I think she pretended to know but pretty sure she didn't.. I actually asked around the village and mostly just got a shrug. Some kids asked me what it was and I explained it the best I can. I don't think the kids were interested in the history but the whole gift giving stuff... Kind of hard to explain, but today I felt sort of lonely?

I thought I would ask around the other areas of Gensokyo about Christmas. The red and white shrine didn't do much but they apparently have heard about it. The Eientei doesn't know much about it, The Nether crew didn't know about it but they were interested. I gave them a quick crash course and they seemed pretty interested.

Was met with two visitor today. First was from BigBoss before work. She apparently wanted to know about this mythical Christmas I knew that she didn't know much. I gave her the same crash course as the nether crew and she seemed very excited I don't think I've ever seen her that excited before, granted I don't really talk to her much. The second person that visited me was actually that other shrine girl. I think her name is Sanae or something like that.. She apparently over heard some kids talking about Christmas and asked where they got the info from. And she found me at the end of this metaphorical tracks. She was all giddy that she finally found someone else that knew of Christmas and asked if I wanted to spend Christmas at her shrine. I told her that I would give her an answer by tomorrow. I guess Christmas isn't totally dead here after all.

I think today actually went pretty well. BigBoss met up with me before work and asked me to help ready a Christmas party for her employees. I never expected BigBoss to do something like that. I agreed I mean it's a grandiose task to make something this big in less than a day but I guess having magic powers and co-workers with powers to mess with space and time does help alleviate that stress a little I guess. After work, I actually went to the Nether about the Party tomorrow, and they agreed to come along. On top of that Sanae dropped by for my answer. She looked pretty cute in her winter attire. At first I thought she was going to be upset that I have another dinner to attend to but she was rather understanding. She actually even said yes to Joining us to the party. More the merrier? Now the preparing for the party... That was something else.. I had the hardest time telling people what to do and I was basically the brains of the operations. With limited resources for decorations and time it was one hell of a challenge... Sort of glad that Sakuya was there to help.. I'm satisfied with what I managed to accomplish today Hopefully the party goes well.
