So... I didn't notice the exact date that it happened, but I feel like I should let everyone know, for the sake of not keeping secrets, that I'm apparently listed as having just turned twelve years old.
[ She's not surprised. Obviously, she's been getting older. Taller, among other signs of growing the past year she's been here. ]
I've been here a year and I wasn't even sure how to count my own age, so I suppose it was decided that this was a convenient way to count. I'm glad to... have been here, for the past year. For the longest period of time that I've ever been awake in my life, at least that I can remember. Even with all the people I've met that have left, even if everyone I know is changed out for new people... some of those new people will still be friends, it seems.
[ It's a strange feeling. It's a bit unsteady, to rotate parental figures in and out, but the fact that they actually care about her wellbeing in such a short time is so infinitely better than what she had back home that it's... fine. ]
I don't need a party, or gifts, but I won't fight anyone to get them not to, now that you all know that I'm a year older, either. I just wanted to say that I appreciate everyone... everything... even this train that we're all riding and trying to figure things out with. That's all.
