Wow, it's been a month exactly! It's been hard to get away, which has really sucked. I was hoping to come home for the holidays, and really spend some time surfing with my family. 

As it was, I could only get back to the past for a few minutes on New Years Day, to give Soph-mom a hug - it seemed she needed it so bad, I wasn't going to let stuff like time and space get in the way.

Anyway, though, big news! I got my own legitimate account in this time!  I'm officially Ciel Chesnokov, registered Resident of Second Life in 2008!  Even better, almost all my stuff transfered: that formal gown and shoes, my surfboard, and almost all my clothes.  I'm really hoping to achieve greater temporal alignment this year, and spend some real time in the past.  My moms have put me in charge of surfing in Extropia, and I'm going to do a good job for them!  Now, to talk Aunt Vids into getting the Core dense enough for a parkour run....  

I didn't get time to surf, but did make it down to the beach at Chi before temporal forces pulled me back.  Next time!
