FISHING FOR CREDIT...AND GNOMES!

My alarm clock woke me up extremely early this morning. It took me several minutes to realize it was still dark outside and a couple more to wonder why. Finally I remembered that last night I had decided to get a jump start on fishing. At this early hour the lake is perfectly calm and I'm hoping the fish are more willing to bite. Things were very peaceful and I just had my thoughts for company. It stayed that way till just before dawn when several more people showed up. I keep mostly to myself until one of them stood up and loudly complained that he wasn't able to catch anything. Apparently, several of the people were new to fishing. So I went and sat down beside the frustrated newbie. For the next couple hours I taught him the basics of fishing. It was a very rewarding experience. He even caught a bass by the time I left!

Out on the village green, I continued my spying operation on the lawn gnomes. After a while I was able to pick out a currier and intercept one of there communications. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to read a word of it. Leon seems convinced it's some type of battle plans. When I showed the paper to his superior officer though, she seemed unconvinced. According to her: the gnomes are just blindly mimicking human action. I told this to Leon but he dismissed it as coming from someone with little experience in the field. For once I'm inclined to agree with him. While I don't think the gnomes are an active threat ageist Barton; there increased organization is troubling. At any rate, the fortifications are a hazard to travel. I found this out the hard way when I stumbled across one and was forced to run for my life.

I've been in Gaia for almost two weeks and still know next to nothing about it and it's history. So, I figured the local university library would be the best place to start. Predictably, they had way more information than I could handle. I'll certainly be coming back here over the next several weeks and months. The staff there was very nice and a couple of the teachers allowed me to sit in on there classes. They even gave me credit towards a bachelor's degree! Not sure what I'll do with those, but it was a neat gesture.

Right...so....um.... I went over to Crate and Apparel to see Liam. It might have been about the letters I delivered. I'm not sure, It was erased from my mind by what happened next.....um....I'm not sure how to say this so I'll just come out with it...... Liam wears leopard print thongs!! So, he was talking to me and turned to get something and I saw it! I swear didn't mean to look! But when he bent over in those loose shorts of his I got a full view of that yellow and brown t-back! *shudder* He didn't seem to notice but I quickly made an excuse to get out of there. I always thought there was something strange about that boy but this takes the cake! While I'm sure some people will happily speculate that he's playing for both teams, that might not be true. Maybe he thinks chicks dig a guy wearing a thong.....at least, I hope that's what he thinks. In any event, the next time Liam goes to get something off a bottom shelf: I'm closing my eyes!
