Blog Entry #8

[smellslikebutz]

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! ♥))

Edgey, c'mon. I might not know you as good as Nick does, but I can tell when you're acting funny.

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

Doing what my work requires hardly constitutes 'acting funny.'

Then why are you talking to me under a lock?

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

...

Because I don't have the time to engage in idle conversations with everyone on the community.

[Locked]

[probablythebutz.livejournal.com]

Or you're hiding something~. C'mon, Edgey, you can tell me!

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

There's nothing to tell.

You know, you used to do the same thing when you were a kid. You'd get your little panties in a twist about something and then when it got too tough, you'd get all avoidant and pretend nothing was wrong. So whatever. You don't want to talk to me, that's fine.

…bet you told Nick, though.

Either your memory is slipping or you didn't know me as well as you imagine.

Wright knows no more about my trip than you do.

Oh reeeaally? I dunno, man, I seem to remember someone being upset that he couldn't climb a tree in Nick's backyard, and ever since then, it was like that tree didn't exist.

You demonstrate that this isn't the first time you've misinterpreted my actions. If you're certain my motivation is so much more complicated than the work I have to do, what do you imagine I'm avoiding?

[Locked]

[probablythebutz.livejournal.com]

I dunno. You don’t seem to want people to know you’re around. Maybe you’re hiding from someone.

[samuraiprosecutor]

...You make it sound as though I've been skulking around the community. I haven't been completely absent; I've discussed some matters of import with several people here. Yet I can't afford to waste time on conversations which aren't necessary, so I've taken steps to prevent being engaged in any.

[Locked]

[probablythebutz.livejournal.com]

Well, then, I guess I should be honored that you deem this conversation necessary! You obviously wanna talk about something, so spit it out already!

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

Perhaps 'necessary' is too strong a word. Your uncharacteristic behavior merely piqued my interest.

[Locked]

[probablythebutz.livejournal.com]

If you’re sure…

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

Quite sure.

[Locked]

[probablythebutz.livejournal.com]

Then I guess you wasted your time, huh?

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

Not surprising.

[Locked]

[probablythebutz.livejournal.com]

Hey, nobody forced you to keep replying, man.

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

No, the blame for that lies solely with me.

[Locked]

[probablythebutz.livejournal.com]

Glad to see you taking some responsibility!

I wish you luck on your journey, Larry. Perhaps you won't be the only one to benefit if you do find what you're looking for and enact the change you say you desire.

[Locked]

[probablythebutz.livejournal.com]

Of course I won’t be. The world will benefit!

[Locked]

[samuraiprosecutor]

Depending on what change you make, that's entirely possible.

Thanks, man!
