Courier Julius

Stats:

Strength : 2

Perspection: 6

Endurance : 2

Charisma : 7

Intelligence : 6

Agility : 7

Luck : 7

Tag skills: Repair, Science, Speech, Sneak

Traits: Skilled, Wild wasteland

Companions: ED-E & Vulpes (I love mods)

Name:

He barely remembers anything from before he was shot by Benny. When he joined the Legion Caesar gave him a new name and identity: Julius

(I usually just call him courier because I’m lazy.)

Age: 26-28

Gender: Trans male

Karma: Evil

Disclaimer! I changed some stuff since the canon and honest hearts sucks. First I made Caesar trans because why not? I think it makes his character and ideology much more interesting. Also Joshua and Caesar were lovers and Vulpes is their biological son. Fox boy doesn’t know it. Pretty much everything else is the same tho.

Backstory:

He grew up in a vault separated from everything. (Yes I gave him the same backstory as the lone wanderer) He’s mean, holds grudges and has superiority complex towards most people of the wasteland. He views them as dirty and uncivilized. In the vault he received standard education and learned many useful skills that would later help him survive the outside world.

He left the vault few years before in the hopes of better life. He was a spoiled brat and had no idea how rough things would be outside.

His new focus in life is finding a place to stay and maybe have a stable life at some point.

During the game:

He’s a petty person and wants to destroy the Strip because of Benny. The fact that one bullet was enough to fuck up his brain and steal his memories makes him furious. Helps the Omertans with their little terrorist attack as well as returns the White gloves to cannibalism.

Other fun things his done: blow up the brotherhoods bunker, sold Arcade to legion, got everyone killed in Sierra Madre, nuked NCR etc.

Fighting is something he tries to avoid, but not because he’s a pacifist. He’s just a coward and knows most people could kick his ass in combat. His extremely lucky to be alive.

NCR has declared him a terrorist, Mr House is dead and he’s too lazy to go with the yes man route so Legion was the only option for him. He’s quite curious about their ideology since he has no home, family, friends or anything left. He hopes to find purpose for his life there.

Most companions don’t like him at all and Boone, Arcade and Veronica hate him. Raul is the only one willing to tolerate his bs. Oh and Julius won’t travel with Lilly since he’s afraid of mutants. But he’s okay with Cass, Rex and ED-E.

Caesar sees him as useful pawn so he gives the courier a new name and purpose. He’s seen as a helpful outsider (and a degenerate) by most of the Legion but they tolerate him. Vulpes is assigned to protect and make sure courier stays loyal.

During his time serving in Legion Julius ends up visiting Nelson quite often and meets someone very special to him. He’s lonely and traumatized man looking for comfort and Dead sea sees him as an opportunity to move up the ranks. I mean if Caesar likes this new guy so surely sleeping with him would be beneficial, right? Well not exactly, after Caesar figures out why courier is so eager to visit Nelson as often as possible he makes sure to remove Dead sea permanently.

Dead sea is killed and Julius is told his lover was promoted and send to another outpost. Thinking his lover has abandoned him Julius doesn't question what he’s told. He has no reason to doubt Caesar.

After the break up with Dead sea Julius is more focused on his newly found career and doesn't start new relationships with anyone. Vulpes is fully aware of what actually happened to Dead sea but he won’t talk, he has no reason to question Caesar’s decisions.

Caesar is a dying man with god complex and in his head the courier and Vulpes are meant to be the future leaders of the Legion. (Just like he and Joshua were supposed to be) Vulpes is his flesh and blood after all, and the courier caries the same anger and pain as he does. Surely these two would be a good choice to lead semi-militaristic cult.

As long as Julius gets to enjoy the benefits of being favored by Caesar he’s very loyal. However if he ever stopped receiving the special treatment he wouldn't hesitate to stab Caesar in the back. And if he ever found out what happened to Dead sea, he would kill Caesar.

The only time he ever considered running away was during his final delievery job. He was told to find the burned man and give him letter written by Caesar. Julius was nosy so he read the letter with Vulpes and they found out who fox bois parents were. Caesar wrote the letter because he thought he was going to die and wanted to say goodbye to his former best friend and lover. (I hate honest hearts so I changed it.)

After Hoover dam:

Julius helped Caesar with the tumor problem and was in front lines during the battle for Hoover dam. He gained good reputation and respect among the Legion. And since Legion has very cult like mentality, the courier was viewed as almost religious figure after all he’d done. Caesar saw this as an opportunity and against his wishes, Julius was forced to take even bigger role in Legion.

His new ”job” or rank would require him to works as an ambassador and convince as many people as possible that Legion was the right choice. The education he received in the vault and his somewhat charismatic personality made him a convincing preacher. At some point he started believing what he was saying, maybe Caesar really was the son of Mars and maybe what they were doing was right.

Eventually all the violence and destruction he saw in the following years took it���s toll. There was no courier anymore, only Julius who was created by Caesar was left. Vulpes stayed by his side all those years as a loyal guard dog. Their relationship was close but not romantic.

Due to his desperate need for a home and family, he had accepted his role in Legion and started spreading the word of Caesar through the wasteland. Where he went the air smelled of decay, ground would burn and turn into ashes.

Julius started slowly becoming more and more deranged with his preaching and used brutal ways of converting and executing those who refused to obey. The story of the burned man had stick with him and it became his signature way of execution. It was the price of his own freedom.

8 years after the battle of Hoover dam, Caesar died and Vulpes was supposed to become the new Caesar. However not everyone was happy with the new leader so Lanius challenged him to a fight in the arena. Vulpes got destroyed. The next problem was Julius and his followers. Lanius saw them as a threat so the logical decicion was to order his execution.

Julius had collected decent following during his time as a preacher and his fanatic followers were willing to die for him. In the end Lanius got what he wanted and Julius was crucified at the same place as Benny was. Most of his followers were either crucified or burned alive.

After the couriers death some of the legionnaires continued spreading his story around the campfire. The people who witnessed Julius burning down towns and commit crimes in the name of Caesar also remembered him in their ghost stories.

The Legion fell apart few years after Caesar's death and the land could start healing.

(I got tired of trans characters always being victims or pure saints so I wanted to make something else. Sorry this was a mess.)

Virgil

Publius Vergilius Maro (70-19 BCE), better known to most modern readers as Virgil, was one of the greatest poets of the early Roman Empire. His best-known work, the Aeneid, told of a Trojan prince, Aeneas, who escaped the burning of Troy in the final days of the Trojan War to eventually make his way across the Mediterranean Sea to Italy (Latium) where his descendants Romulus and Remus would ultimately found the city of Rome. He was so highly regarded by those authors who followed him that the early 14th-century CE Italian author Dante Alighieri chose Virgil as his guide through the nine levels of hell in The Inferno.

Early Life

Virgil, sometimes spelled Vergil, was born on October 15, 70 BCE in Andes, a small village near Mantua north of the Po River in Cisalpine Gaul. The 5th-century CE author and statesman Macrobius maintained Virgil was born of country parents among the shrubs and woods; the passion for the rural life would remain with him throughout his adult life. He was described as having the appearance of a countryman being tall but bulky with a dark complexion, 'changeable health,' and eating and drinking little; his poor health kept him away from the civil war that was brewing at the time. His father was a potter and courier who was lucky enough to marry the boss' daughter.

While his province of birth did not have citizenship rights (not until 51 BCE), his father, being of old Latin stock, was a citizen. Although some question his parents' financial status, most agree they were affluent enough to provide him with a solid education. The future poet acquired his early schooling in Cremona and Milan (Mediolanum) where he obtained his toga virilis —- a symbol of both manhood and citizenship. This early education garnered him an appreciation for both Greek and Roman authors. He arrived in Rome with plans to study rhetoric (a subject he disliked) with Epidius whose school was where Octavian and Mark Antony would eventually study as well. Evidently, Virgil only spoke once in the law courts, but without distinction; apparently, he was too shy. Virgil soon left the city to study philosophy at the Epicurean school of Siron in Naples. The love of philosophy that brought him to the Epicurean community enabled him to meet his fellow poet Horace.

When he was around 30 years old, the Roman Republic was in crisis. Julius Caesar had been assassinated, and his adopted son and heir the future Emperor Augustus (aka Octavian) was embroiled in a civil war. In 42 BCE, after the defeat of the tyrannicides at the Battle of Philippi, attempts were made to settle army veterans on confiscated land, a subject for Virgil's early poems. Unluckily for his family, in 41 BCE his father's farm was seized. The young poet tried to use his influence in Rome to have it returned; however, there is no record whether or not he was successful.

[There’s a slight ring of a bell as a traveling merchant and their group walks into Cottonwood Cove, the brahmin packed with food and everything they’d need to survive. Some legionaries walk over and ask the merchant what’s their purpose for being here, while others just look up from the ringing. By the parts of the passing conversation you can hear, the merchant is apparently named Percy Anderson.]

Courier, hiding in the shadows and about to assassinate him:

[lboogie1906]

Jesus V. Merritt (October 15, 1913 - ?) was born in Agoo, Philippines. He was the son of Julius Merritt, an Army veteran of the Philippine-American War (1899-1902) who as an expatriate worked as a physician and the former Timotea Villanueva, the sister of a prominent politician. He studied at the National University and was awarded a BA at the University of Santo Tomas.

He found success as a journalist. He was the editor of his college newspaper and contributed writings to the Ilocano provincial press. He published an article in the Philippines Free Press fittingly titled “A Newspaper Man Without Newspaper.”

His career as a journalist was interrupted during WWII when the Japanese military conquered the Philippines. He was forced to endure inhumane treatment in the Santo Tomas internment camp. As a correspondent for the Pittsburgh Courier the Baltimore Afro-American wrote about the daring exploits of his brother and the often violent confrontations between Black and white Americans.

He took a position in the government as a Congressional Press Relations Officer. He returned to newspaper writing at the Manila Chronicle as a political reporter but served in government as Quezon City councilor, after which he was appointed by President Ramon Magsaysay as Assistant General Manager of a housing corporation. He served as Public Relations Officer of the Budget Commission. He was an astute businessman who owned a long stretch of beachfront property in Agoo comprised of 30 hectares.

He is remembered as the author of several books on Filipino political history and Asian affairs, among them Our Appeals to the U.S. Congress, Magsaysay, Man of the People, Our Presidents: Profiles in History, Free Asia and Its Leaders, and Our Country and My Own: Statistical Profiles of Nations.

As the president of Merriville Realty and Housing Corporation, he won a legal case that resulted in the disbarment of his former attorney. His son, Mario C. Merritt, resides in the Philippines, and his grandson, Gloman Merritt, is an entrepreneur. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Cryptography’s three primary categories

Cryptography, from the Greek words meaning “hidden writing,” encrypts sent data so only the intended recipient can read it. Applications for cryptography are numerous. Cryptography is essential to our digital world and protects sensitive data from hackers and other cybercriminals, from WhatsApp’s end-to-end message authentication to legal form digital signatures to cryptocurrency mining’s CPU-draining ciphers.

One of the first cryptologists was Julius Caesar. Modern cryptosystems are more advanced yet work similarly. Most cryptosystems start with plaintext, which is encrypted into ciphertext using one or more encryption keys. The recipient receives this ciphertext. If the ciphertext is intercepted and the encryption algorithm is strong, unauthorized eavesdroppers cannot break the code. The targeted receiver can simply decipher the text with the correct decryption key.

Let’s start with robust cryptography frameworks’ key features:

Confidentiality: Only the intended recipient can access encrypted information.

Integrity: Encrypted data cannot be altered in storage or transit between sender and receiver without detection.

Non-repudiation: Encrypted information cannot be denied transmission.

Authentication: Sender, receiver, and information origin and destination are verified.

Key management: Data encryption and decryption keys (and related duties like key length, distribution, generation, rotation, etc.) are secure.

Three encryption types

Hybrid systems like SSL exist, although most encryption methods are symmetric, asymmetric, or hash functions.

Key symmetric cryptography

Symmetric key encryption, also known as private key cryptography, secret key cryptography, or single key encryption, employs one key for encryption and decryption. These systems need users to share a private key. Private keys can be shared by a private courier, secured line, or Diffie-Hellman key agreement.

Two types of symmetric key algorithms:

Block cipher: The method works on a fixed-size data block. If the block size is 8, eight bytes of plaintext are encrypted. Encrypt/decrypt interfaces usually call the low-level cipher function repeatedly for data longer than the block size.

Stream cipher: Stream ciphers convert one bit (or byte) at a time. A stream cipher creates a keystream from a key. The produced keystream is XORed with plaintext.

Symmetrical cryptography examples:

DES: IBM developed the Data Encryption Standard (DES) in the early 1970s. While it is vulnerable to brute force assaults, its architecture remains relevant in modern cryptography. 

Triple DES: By 1999, computing advances made DES unsecure, however the DES cryptosystem built on the original DES basis provides protection that modern machines cannot break.

Blowfish: Bruce Schneer’s 1993 fast, free, public block cipher.

AES: The only publicly available encryption certified by the U.S. National Security Agency for top secret material is AES.

Asymmetric-key cryptography

One secret and one public key are used in asymmetric encryption. This is why these algorithms are called public key algorithms. Although one key is publicly available, only the intended recipient’s private key may decrypt a message, making public key cryptography more secure than symmetric encryption.

Examples of asymmetrical cryptography:

RSA: Founded in 1977 by Rivest, Shamier, and Adleman, the RSA algorithm is one of the oldest public key cryptosystems for secure data transfer.

ECC: ECC is a sophisticated kind of asymmetric encryption that uses elliptic curve algebraic structures to create very strong cryptographic keys.

One-way hash

Cryptographic hash algorithms convert variable-length input strings into fixed-length digests. The input is plaintext, and the output hash is cipher. Good hash functions for practical applications satisfy the following:

Collision-resistant: A new hash is generated anytime any data is updated, ensuring data integrity.

One-way: The function is irreversible. Thus, a digest cannot be traced back to its source, assuring data security.

Because hash algorithms directly encrypt data without keys, they create powerful cryptosystems. Plaintext is its own key.

Consider the security risk of a bank password database. Anyone with bank computer access, authorized or illegal, may see every password. To protect data, banks and other companies encrypt passwords into a hash value and save only that value in their database. Without the password, the hash value cannot be broken.

Future of cryptography

A quantum cryptography

Technological advances and more complex cyberattacks drive cryptography to evolve. Quantum cryptography, or quantum encryption, uses quantum physics’ natural and immutable laws to securely encrypt and transfer data for cybersecurity. Quantum encryption, albeit still developing, could be unhackable and more secure than earlier cryptographic systems.

Post-quantum crypto

Post-quantum cryptographic methods use mathematical cryptography to generate quantum computer-proof encryption, unlike quantum cryptography, which uses natural rules of physics. Quantum computing, a fast-growing discipline of computer science, might exponentially enhance processing power, dwarfing even the fastest super computers. Although theoretical, prototypes suggest that quantum computers might breach even the most secure public key cryptography schemes in 10 to 50 years.

NIST states that post-quantum cryptography (PQC) aims to “develop cryptographic systems that are secure against both quantum and classical computers, and [that] can interoperate with existing communications protocols and networks.”

The six main quantum-safe cryptography fields are:

Lattice-based crypto

Multivariate crypto

Cryptography using hashes

Code-based cryptography

Cryptography using isogeny

Key symmetry quantum resistance

IBM cryptography helps organizations protect crucial data

IBM cryptography solutions offer crypto agility, quantum-safety, and robust governance and risk policies through technology, consulting, systems integration, and managed security. End-to-end encryption tailored to your business needs protects data and mainframes with symmetric, asymmetric, hash, and other cryptography.

According to Wikipedia:

Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus (born Gaius Octavius; 23 September 63 BC – 19 August AD 14), also known as Octavian (Latin: Octavianus), was the founder of the Roman Empire; he reigned as the first Roman emperor from 27 BC until his death in AD 14.[a] The reign of Augustus initiated an imperial cult as well as an era associated with imperial peace, the Pax Romana or Pax Augusta, in which the Roman world was largely free of armed conflict aside from expansionary wars and the Year of the Four Emperors. The Principate system of imperial rule established by Augustus lasted until the Crisis of the Third Century.

Octavian was born into an old and wealthy equestrian branch of the plebeian gens Octavia. His maternal great-uncle Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC, and Octavian was named in Caesar's will as his adopted son and heir; as a result, he inherited Caesar's name, estate, and the loyalty of his legions. He, Mark Antony, and Marcus Lepidus formed the Second Triumvirate to defeat the assassins of Caesar. Following their victory at the Battle of Philippi (42 BC), the Triumvirate divided the Roman Republic among themselves and ruled as de facto dictators. The Triumvirate was eventually torn apart by the competing ambitions of its members; Lepidus was exiled in 36 BC, and Antony was defeated by Octavian at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC. Antony and his wife Cleopatra, the Ptolemaic queen of Egypt, killed themselves during Octavian's invasion of Egypt, which then became a Roman province.

After the demise of the Second Triumvirate, Augustus restored the outward facade of the free republic, with governmental power vested in the Roman Senate, the executive magistrates and the legislative assemblies, yet he maintained autocratic authority by having the Senate grant him lifetime tenure as commander-in-chief, tribune and censor. A similar ambiguity is seen in his chosen names, the implied rejection of monarchical titles whereby he called himself Princeps Civitatis (First Citizen) juxtaposed with his adoption of the title Augustus.

Augustus dramatically enlarged the empire, annexing Egypt, Dalmatia, Pannonia, Noricum, and Raetia, expanding possessions in Africa, and completing the conquest of Hispania, but he suffered a major setback in Germania. Beyond the frontiers, he secured the empire with a buffer region of client states and made peace with the Parthian Empire through diplomacy. He reformed the Roman system of taxation, developed networks of roads with an official courier system, established a standing army, established the Praetorian Guard as well as official police and fire-fighting services for Rome, and rebuilt much of the city during his reign. Augustus died in AD 14 at age 75, probably from natural causes. Persistent rumors, substantiated somewhat by deaths in the imperial family, have claimed his wife Livia poisoned him. He was succeeded as emperor by his adopted son Tiberius, Livia's son and former husband of Augustus' only biological child Julia.

glad that im not popular enough to have an evil shadow version of my blog that exists just to make contradictions on my posts

[ju1ian]

this is a very long post about an OC i wrote for Fallout New Vegas.

i never got around to actually laying out Julius’ whole story line, and i don’t think i ever will, so im gonna summarize it. (it ended up being kinda long sorry) im gonna put it under a read more but idk what that means for mobile users, please forgive me. blacklist ‘fonv’ or ‘Courier: Julius’ if you don’t wanna see this.

-gets shot by Benny -wakes up in Goodsprings with absolutely no memories, no name, and INT. 1 -sets out on a journey motivated by nothing else other than finding Benny and killing him. -meets Vulpes in Nipton, likes him a lot. has no idea what or who The Legion is. -meets Arcade in Freeside after getting stabbed, likes him a lot too. (these are conflicting interests.) -stays in Freeside for a short while helping people (the kings, the followers, etc.) forms a strong friendship with Arcade. -makes it to The Strip, kills Benny, finishes his delivery, tells House to fuck off. -travels back to The Fort to meet with Ceasar and see Vulpes again, brings Arcade. -Caesar gives him the name Julius. Vulpes gives him a Legion brand on his left shoulder blade. (this is important for later) -becomes very attached to Vulpes (has a strong romantic interest in him), forms a father-son like bond with Caesar, easily becomes a stand in for Joshua Graham in Caesars life except a whole lot dumber. (extreme endurance and blood lust.) -relationship with Arcade becomes strained to the point that Arcade decides to break things off and abandon him. -kills Arcade to stop him from leaving him, falls into a depression.  -takes work with the Happy Trails Caravan to distract himself from how upset he is, doesn’t tell anyone he’s leaving. -meets Joshua Graham in Zion, they are similar but very different.  -Joshua tries to get him to leave, because he reminds him too much of Ceasar and the Legion, but Julius refuses, and explains why he can’t go home. -spends a lot of time with Joshua Graham, learns about God, doesn’t really understand it, but he likes him. quickly forms a father-son like bond with Joshua as well. In this time, he works though his regret and depression surrounding Arcade’s death. -helps defeat the While Legs, but doesn’t let Salt Upon Wounds be spared. -tries to convince Joshua Graham to come back to the Mojave with him because he needs him, but Joshua refuses. (he stills gives him a set of those sweet clothes though) -before he leaves, Joshua urges him to try and reevaluate his choices concerning Caesar and the Legion. -returns to the Mojave and The Fort in those sweet ass clothes. Everyone thought he was dead. -tells Vulpes and Caesar about his cool trip. Caesar thinks it’s bittersweet. Vulpes thinks it’s stupid. -gets sent on a recon mission at Camp Mccarran, where he comes into contact with his sister who he has no memory of. She is an NCR soldier.  -she tries to talk to him, using his real name, which is Marc-Antony. she reveals to him that they were both NCR soldiers, but he left due to being tired of the NCR’s ways. -he has no memory of this, and doubts it as fact. however, she reveals to him that they both has NCR tattoo’s on their left shoulder blades.  -when she tries to show him this, she finds that his has been branded over with the Legion bull. by telling him this, he realizes Vulpes knew the whole time that he was former NCR, and didn’t tell him.  -he still tries to deny that his sister is telling him the truth, and leaves Camp Mccarran with unwanted information, and a migraine. -over the next few weeks, he starts to get more unwanted memories about his life, and starts to pull away from Vulpes and Caesar, no longer trusting them. he believes they have used him as a blank slate because he was without memories and willing to comply with whatever they wanted from him. -regains full memories of his life as Marc-Antony, and can’t reconcile that with the life he’s been living as Julius. this leads to him abandoning his place at the Fort and hiding out in the Mojave while he tries to make sense of his life. -while hiding out, he get’s the Mysterious Radio Broadcast on his pip boy and decides to investigate it, ends up in Big MT.  -gets lobotomized by the scientists there. -has a lot of time to reflect on his life and his choices while trying to find a way out of Big MT. -once he finally helps the scientists, and settles things between the Think Tank and Mobius, he decides to ask them if they can remove his memories before they give him his brain back. -they comply, and he decides to rid himself of the memories of Marc-Antony’s life, deciding he was much happier as Julius, in his life with Vulpes and Caesar. -returns to the Fort, where everyone thought he was dead once again.  -Vulpes is especially happy to see him back to his old self, and not distant like he had been before he disappeared. -Caesar sends him to battle at the Hoover Dam. They win.  -he lives a relatively happy life with Vulpes for a few years. -due to his incredibly bad karma, one day while he’s partaking in his favorite drink Sunset Sarsaparilla, he accidentally drops a bottle of it on the ground, the cap flies off and hits him in the forehead, killing him instantly. 

-important notes that would be explained further in detail if i ever actually wrote this in depth like i want to- -Julius is compelled to collect eyeglasses. this is because Marc-Antony actually needs glasses to see clearly, Julius just thinks the world is a bit blurry. -Julius adds Arcade’s eyeglasses to his collection once he is dead. -Julius routinely sends Joshua Graham letters from the Fort once he returns, but Joshua never writes back.  -Julius favorite food is Radscorpion Venom Casserole, but he can almost never eat any because he chews on the inside of his cheeks. -Once he gets those clothes from Joshua Graham, he never takes them off.

river,

⠀⠀⠀how does an olympic scoutee become an english literature major? that’s one hell of a leap, not sure if i can follow. unless it’s always been a dream of yours to analyze shakespeare. even then - i’m all for doing what the heart says, but the olympics are every four years. could’ve done an entire degree while waiting for the next one, no?

⠀⠀⠀guess i can see where you’re coming from. everyone around me wants to make a name for themselves, but i’m pretty content doing what i’m doing. no need for fame or fortune. it’s too much noise, anyway. maybe one day you’ll be sending letters to the countryside. or you can always join me. i’ll tend to my duck pond, and you can entertain me with your rendition of julius caesar.

⠀⠀⠀back up - are your roommates friends with a raccoon? who does that? you’re underreacting. next time, you should throw in a couple of peppers. or better yet, crush up some laxatives. doubt he’d touch your food after that.

⠀⠀⠀kkt @ R20001229

⠀⠀⠀that’s not to say i don’t want to continue playing courier pigeons with you. just thought it’d be easier for when we meet up. how about last sunday of next month?

have you considered maybe telling him that you feel that he's overreacting? sometimes first meetings can't always end up being as positive as we hope to be, though him hating you seems a tad bit excessive... maybe giving him a peace offering will help him calm down some and make him look at you in a new light? sometimes confrontation will only do the opposite of what we want to happen.

i study english literature and i also do a lot of gymnastics on the side. you can say i was professionally trained. i was scouted to join the olympics but refused. sometimes.. you have to follow dreams even if they are farfetched and out of there. right?

my roommates have this weird guy over all the time. he just kind of sleeps around and doesn't help. it's annoying. once, he tried my food with a spoon he pulled out and double dipped it into the same pot! the audacity. i think i'm going crazy, for real!

it's kind of funny how we're both struggling with the same situation.

i'm glad i heard from you. i maybe worried about you. maybe.

where and when would you like to meet up? i would love for any excuse to escape my dorms when he's around.

excited to meet you,
