Blog Entry #8

You know, ever since that murder at KB Security last month, I've been doing a lot of thinking and I've come to the shocking conclusion that I really don't like the man I've become.

I know, I know. "But Larry!" you're thinking. "You're a great person! You're funny and charming and the ladies dig you!"

Well, that's just it. Those things are superfluous (didn't think I knew that word, did you?) and unimportant. I need to find the truth, the real meaning of life, the man behind the mask, but in order for me to do that, I have to change my ways, and I'm going to start by swearing off women.

Yeah, you heard me. No more wining and dining, no more romance, no more love period.

I need to get out there and experience life! Travel where the wind takes me and find my purpose! It's gonna be tough and I know you're all gonna miss me, but it's for the best. When I come back, you won't even recognize me.

So take a good look at me, guys, 'cause this is the last time you'll see Larry Butz. By the time my journey's over, I'll be a new man! A man worthy enough to call himself a man. Oh, that was good. I should write that one down...

Anyways... Parting may be sweet sorrow, but remember that absence makes the heart grow fonder! Seeya!

((OOC: IC semi-hiatus until he "finds himself." He'll probably blog about his life discoveries while he's gone, but they'll likely be private entries. Depending on what you say, you may or may not get a response if you reply to this. TTFN! ♥))

Yeah, I'll show YOU some unique merits...

Huh? I'm talking about an author. An author who changed my life! Not that I expect you to understand...

You already did, and I already declined. Though I suppose there's something to appreciate in knowing the offer still stands.

...You read?

EDGEY, NO! THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT AND YOU KNOW IT! The Butz isn't into men and no men are getting into the Butz! EXIT ONLY. DO NOT ENTER.

...That's it! I'm done talking to you!

Unfortunate. The conversation was going so well.

Hmph.

At any rate you do appear to be well on your way to becoming a new man. The Larry Butz I've known these many years would have found it difficult to resist boasting on his lady's apparently numerous charms.

See, that's where you're wrong, Edgey. She isn't 'my lady;' she's no one's lady. While she might be amazing and wonderful and absolutely incredibly brilliant as masterpieces flow from her delicate finger tips, she's not to be touched. She's an inspiration! An idol! No one would be good enough for her.

No one.

I'm sure. She must be an accomplished woman to have so captured your discerning interest. You said she's an author?

The best there is!

Of the sort whose books contain illustrations and a recommended age group on the cover?

Oh, you're familiar with her?

I doubt I'm familiar with her work.

No!? Well, that's a shame! You know, once Kaela's finished with it, I can let you borrow my book. It's liberating, Edgey! A bona fide life-saver, I swear!

I'm not in need of a life-saver.

Oh yeah, you already went on your own journey of self-discovery, didn't you? Did you forget something?

I remember my own journey quite vividly...especially in this place.

Huh? No, I mean... you kinda left all of a sudden like you did last time, so I was wondering if you were, you know, going on another one.

No, this trip is solely...business related. My prior journey served its purpose well enough.

Huh. I just thought it was funny that you didn't say goodbye at all, considering how that worked out last time.

So, when are you coming back?

...I informed the people I deemed it necessary to tell.

The decision was made on short notice, and my itinerary hasn't been finalized. There are many countries on my route, but it's uncertain how long I'll need in each to make the most of their resources. For my first stop I've planned for two months.

You didn't tell me.

...No, I didn't.

So that means you didn't think it was necessary to tell me?
