[ichthyorelationships]

an idea i invite anyone else to write about / run with lol....

the premise that The Change gets all messed up for alberto, say it's something that can happen from stress, &/or happens rarely and you just have to wait for it to resolve itself....used as some parallel to struggling through some emotional turbulence / upheaval / questioning / Realizing Things, etc etc

A New Journal Begins

July 27, Saturday 8:37pm

A new journal begins. Where does it find us? Everything I have done, been, said, lived, experienced, has led up to this entry. Has fueled this 'Now".

Mojan has been texting me about "Now". "NOW-ing". No future. No past. Just now.

Per New Dimensions Radio guest, Dr Rick Hansen, now lasts about one and one half seconds. A good inhale takes longer than that.

I heard on KPFA radio yesterday, the 3-4pm Friday psychology show, that we are more than "be-ing". We are a verb. We are be-coming" I kind of like that.

But, we be-come from a constant be-ing which is "NOW".

Enough.

Beautiful swim today. Ernst had just finished his swim as I prepared to start mine. We met on the Dolphin club beach around 10:25am. He said "The water is delightful." It was!

Interesting---he's a Da. I'm a defense attorney---but, we meet at water's edge and we are swimmers. That's all---the Ocean is the great equalizer. It reduces us down to bodies and the sea.

End of entry

Notes: July 28, 2024

I met Mojan in a local gym in 2019. We have become good friends. We share thoughts and ideas on the concepts of "being" and "NOW".

Ernst is a Deputy District Attorney. I am a criminal defense attorney. We practice in different counties. In court , the district attorney and the defense attorney are adversaries. But, not when confronted with swimming in the ocean!

The Dolphin Club is a swimming and rowing club at Aquatic Park in San Fransisco, California.

There's so much worthless Motley trivia that's accumulated over the years that will probably never have a chance to be shared organically. Angel Cake has terrible handwriting. Cherry is afraid of cats. Blueberry can't swim. Lime Pie would be a swiftie

A Bright Boo Year

Happy New Year! For the tale end of 2023, my discord server did another Hocus Pocus Challenge. @13xwishes challenged me to write a drabble of our ship, Ocean Wishes (Lagoona/Gigi) celebrating the Boo Year with a kiss. So without further ado...

A big bash, with both Normies and Monsters. That happened more often after that disastrous Halloween. This time, they were ringing in the Boo Year together. Monster High was hosting, making use of their larger gym and general space. Most of the little cliques had separated for the early part of the party.

True to form, Lagoona was with the other jocks, playing casketball with some of the guys. She and a couple of the normie guys were creaming Clawd's team.

Meanwhile, in the clawditorium, the grimnastics team was getting in a little extra practice for the upcoming fundraiser. A few normies were watching the practice, cheering for the ghouls when they landed difficult moves. The camaraderie was surprising Gigi as she finished her routine, landing her final flips to cheers from both groups of students.

"The party is about to officially start!" someone called from the doors to the clawditorium.

"I don't know…," Gigi mumbled.

"What's the problem?" one of the normies laughed.

"It's complicated," Venus sighed. "Don't worry, Gigi. Besides. Lagoona will be there."

Gigi perked up at the thought of seeing her ghoulfriend. With events coming up, they'd both been so busy with their teams they hadn't had much of a chance to really be together in a while.

In the grimnasium, Lagoona landed one more shot, demonstrating a complicated shot that took advantage of the difference in her opponent's height and hers. She caught the ball on the rebound and high fived her team.

"Guys and ghouls, the party's about to really get going!" Claire called from the door. "Everyone's headed out to the yard for karaoke and fireworks."

Lagoona tossed the ball into the storage bin and they headed out. They got outside to a raucous party, everyone gathered already dancing with someone on stage singing off-key to some normie song or other. She spotted a vaguely familiar blond bespectacled normie chatting with Operetta, there seemed to be a small crowd near them of spirits that she knew couldn't sing without hurting anyone, and it made her wonder about the girl. She'd seen her around, but hadn't officially met her.

She found most of her friend-group mingling with their normie friends and she went over to them.

"Hey ghouls!" she called to them. "Have any of you seen Gigi?"

"She might be with the rest of the grimnastics team," Draculaura provided. "They were practicing for the fundraiser in the clawditorium."

The singer on stage hit a particularly sour note and they all winced.

"I'd rather Operetta get up there than this swill," Cleo grumbled.

"Be nice," Lilith laughed. "It's Chad…we couldn't stop him."

Lagoona looked up to the stage to see that it was, in fact, Chad up there giving a poor rendition of some normie musical song and maybe trying to mimic the choreography from the show? It was…painful to watch, but Lilith was right…Chad was one of those that did what he wanted.

Gigi came to the party with her group at the tail end of Chad's performance. She was nervous about the party. Mostly because she heard that people made wishes at midnight and if her magic acted up…it would be a disaster. Twyla assured her as they came to the crowd that everything would be fine and they should find Lagoona and Howleen. She couldn't agree more with the idea of spending the party with her ghoulfriend.

Again, she was utterly shocked by how the monsters and normies were partying together. The song on stage ended and there was weak applause for the boy who had been singing. The DJ called for another performer and Abbey came up. The yeti picked a song and performed a lively bhangra, singing in Hindi.

She heard loud cheering and spotted the ghouls. Lagoona included. So, she started gently pushing her way towards them. Abbey's song ended and she cheered for the ghoul.

"Very impressive! We have time for one more song before midnight!" the DJ called. "Any more volunteers?" No one stepped forward this time, so a pair of lights started passing over the crowd.

Lagoona spotted Gigi as the lights passed over the crowd. She separated from her friends and started wading the crowd towards her. She stopped short when one of the lights stopped right in her eyes.

"Crikey!" she gasped. "I can't sing!"

"That didn't stop Chad!" someone reminded her as the crowd pushed her up to the stage despite her continuing protests. She'd never sung before! But…she noticed Gigi getting a similar treatment.

Well, this was one way for her to get to Gigi and stay with her. So, she went the rest of the way on her own. Someone had set up a screen, presumably for lyrics to scroll over. She'd never done karaoke before.

Gigi joined her and they were talked through what to do. The music started and since Gigi seemed more nervous than she was, she started singing first. Gigi took her lead with the next verse and by the end they were hand in hand. The music stopped and the countdown began.

She didn't care about that as she gazed into her ghoulfriend's eyes and inched closer to that long-awaited kiss.

"3!" someone shouted, followed by "2!"

The final call was drowned out by cheers and fireworks. Lagoona didn't hear any of them as Gigi closed the distance and they kissed. When they parted, it was only for long enough to vacate the stage and go off away from the crowd to cuddle.

It really had been a while since they spent any real time together. And Lagoona was glad for this time.

"We've been really busy lately," Gigi noted as they settled in to watch the fireworks.

"Too right," Lagoona agreed. "You know what my wish for the year is?"

"What…?"

"To spend more time with the ghoul I adore so much," she said softly, kissing Gigi again. The genie giggled, remembering that poem from what seems like so long ago. Yes, that sounds like a doable wish.
