[Public] Journal Entry: Amara Aquilla 10/21/2012

[om_magma]

I have done much research on this Halloween holiday but I still cannot understand why people dress up in ridiculous costumes or why candy is involved. Is this some sort of entertainment? I have celebrated harvest festivals back home, but nothing like this.

Please shed some light on this if you would be so kind, classmates.

Harvest festivals yes

That is like Genosha

Except we have a parade too

[om_magma]

The harvest festival I am most familiar with is one that we had in Nova Roma, celebrating the Goddess Pomona, who is responsible for the harvest. I do not believe anyone here celebrates that.

[om_ntw]

Our harvest has no Goddess, no

Just a combine :)

[om_magma]

I will have to research this further.

[om_ntw]

It is my first American Halloween too

you are not alone

[om_magma]

Truly? If you do not mind me asking, where country do you hail from?

[om_ntw]

Genosha.

It is located in the Indian Ocean...southeastern coast of Africa

very different from here yes

[om_magma]

My home is also very different from here. Do you miss it?

[om_ntw]

No, not very much

This is a new and exciting adventure

And the people seem to be much nicer!

[om_magma]

This is certainly new and... something.

I am Amara Aquilla. Your name?

[om_ntw]

I am Ellie Phimister

I have not met everyone yet

My stay is still quite new you see.

[om_magma]

I am not good at meeting new people, so there are still many I have never spoken to.

[om_ntw]

I am not good at meeting others either

many find me to be strange and awkward

but i am who i am

if they do not like that then i can only move onto the next. that is just the way it is.

[om_magma]

Yes. I feel much the same way.
