The technology in this place has given me much pause and so much to think about. I wouldn't consider myself a techie by any stretch of the imagination; I've got a more literary mind, I think. Still, perhaps things would have been different if I had come from a later generation. These journal devices alone are advanced far beyond anything I could find in the year I before the back home. The ship itself is a marvel. Since I've been up and about I've taken time to explore when I could, and I know there's rooms here that are a lot bigger than should be physically possible, given the space allotted. The way the ship moves: it looks like we're in space, but there's nothing really separating us from the open air. Does the barge produce its own atmosphere? There's things about the system here that I'd like to better understand, too. Nobody really explained the last time I asked. I think I'm an Inmate. No one's really told me. And I know that guy...the Admiral, assigned a bunch of people together. Inmates with Wardens. Is that what I'm waiting for? A Warden? How long does that usually take? I'd appreciate whatever answers can be given me. --Harold Emory Lauder

If you have trouble reading, I'm afraid that's your failing, not mine. Do yourself a favor and look for something less strenuous to do.

I can read just fine when it's not just a wall of text.

You want people to explain things and take notice of your questions, write the same way everyone else does. If you don't, then carry right on.

[doghasitsday]

Seven lines does not a wall make.

[acid_rayne]

Do you have any idea when and why you're meant to use paragraphs?

[doghasitsday]

This isn't a high school term paper. It's my journal and I'm not meant to use anything in it that I don't choose to.

[acid_rayne]

Hey, you're the one complaining about not enough people taking notice when you ask about stuff... I'm just letting you know why they might be ignoring.

[doghasitsday]

I wasn't complaining. You're complaining.

[acid_rayne]

"Nobody really explained the last time I asked" sure seemed like frustration to me...

[doghasitsday]

I did not want to seem as though I was repeating myself needlessly, as I am now. I think you have serious reading comprehension problems.

[acid_rayne]

OK, Mr Passive-Aggressive... Whatever you say.

[doghasitsday]

I don't think that means what you think it means.

[acid_rayne]

Oh, I'm sorry - I thought you said I had reading problems?

All these darned incomprehensible words in black and white...

Really? People write longer messages than this on a daily basis.

[acid_rayne]

Length of message wasn't what bugged me.

[requiresssacrifice]

Fine, people write longer paragraphs than this.

[acid_rayne]

It's getting to be a pattern.

Either way, he can do what he wants. I'm just addressing one of his concerns.
