Birthday

Well, happy birthday to me! Thanks to all that wished me!

I guess it's kinda apt that my and Sonic's citizenship came just yesterday. Great timing, huh? So we're both officially citizens now. Hope we can put it to good use.

That was pretty much Alan's birthday gift for me. Everyone else in the family got me something, but I think the funniest one is from Sonic, who gave me – wait for it – a life-sized stuffed toy of myself. Gave all of us a pretty good laugh XD and wow, I gotta say, it looks kinda eerily similar to me from some angles.

I guess I now know what to get for Sonic in a month's time!

Though I hope he'll still be here then, as he might actually be away doing, you know, what he wants to do. I wish him all the best really. Would be nice if I could go with him…one day, I suppose.

As for me, I think things are going well. I've been showing the people at GUN what I know and what they could produce to ease their transition from purely a military weapons producer to a more general aerospace company. Jet engines, electronics, that sort of thing. Also, now that I'm a citizen, I can actually file patents for all of these, although I'll make sure some of the brilliant people at GUN also get some recognition, because it wouldn't have been possible without them.

You know, it actually makes me feel a bit guilty. Some of these things I didn't actually invent, they're quite common in my world. I'm just merely passing the information over to this one. I can't be the one to take credit for their inventions, which is why I want to work on some for which I can be. I'm hoping I can use some of the money I've been getting to do exactly that now.

Speaking of which, that wheelchair I was talking about last time? Finally going to be produced, though not by GUN, obviously. I really hope it works. I suppose that's my gift to all of you. And it's safe to say there's more where that came from ;)

Hmm, that reminds me. My healing's gone pretty nicely too. I'm still limping a bit, though I hope that'll be gone in a few months' time. For now, though, I'm just really glad I can fly at full speed again.

I finally got the opportunity to do the jet thing again yesterday (don't know if you heard the sound?), flying alongside an X-1 rather than against it, for once. Yeah, it felt really, really awesome, even though the duration is still kinda short, heh. I'm just surprised I could remember how to do it all over again considering how complex it was the first time. Was so tired after I landed, but it was totally worth it. Also, Alan asked me jokingly whether I missed LA's polluted air XD

Huh, I didn't know what to write in this post in the beginning, but it looks like it's filled itself out. I might get busier in the next few months, but I hope I can still update in the meantime. So, thanks again, and bye!
