Comms Ball

Grand events at the Grand Copthorne... One of the most memorable nights i've had. Considering that i had to pay through the nose for it, it had better be! WSM was screwing around with the co-host from MDC as an emcee, and Commander wasn't too pleased. He seemed quite sick of WSM's ranting by the time he was called on stage for the lucky draw.

Had a really good time with my date that night. Considering that it was only the second time i'd seen her, it seemed quite amazing that i was enjoying myself talking to her. Maybe i should get to know her better.-further content on this topic self-censored.-

I am amazed at the comms mag though... i think that frank and gang has done a good job. The magazine brings back the memories of the hard times spent together, and the tears and sweat that dripped off our tired bodies... Its more than just a yearbook, its a record of all the pain and suffering we went through, an inscription of fire that burns itself into the hallways of our memories... yup it brings out powerful emotions... good job guys!

Got a lot of paraphenalia from the last few weeks of my ocs life... polo tees, other personalised stuff... things that i wonder if i would even use. Are memories that all precious? or to put it in another manner- how much would you pay for a crystallised memory? at least they could give something more practical.(no this is not a veiled insult at the gifts given, just that i think more thoughts could be given to the gifts.)

anyway... a quote my friend sent me to congratulate me on my commissioning:

"Nothing so conclusively prove's a man ability to lead others as what he does from day to day to lead himself." -Thomas J Watson

Aaargh. It's not easy being a paragon of virtue, but someone's gotta do it!
