I can see what makes you tick.

I'm taking an early day. Deliveries have been sent out for timepieces and jewelry due to be fixed this week- you will be billed later. I just might take the rest of the week off. If there are any repair emergencies, feel free to contact me at my personal number. Even I need a vacation sometimes, apparently.

I'll still hold my horology class tomorrow night, if any of my students would like that. Just let me know and I'll be glad to have it. Otherwise, take a break yourselves.

I have something I need to say. I've fallen off the wagon.

Now, I thought I had a really good run there. I did. A whole three and a half months, wasn't that amazing? After Hiro had to spend such effort fighting it down for a day, I thought people'd be congratulating me, but- oh no. It's just "You'll never make up for it, Sylar" and "You cut open my head, Sylar. How could we possibly have a civilized conversation?" None of you ever had to live with this sort of power. It's potential, pure and simple. And there's no point to potential if you don't live up to it, is there?

But I digress. I tried, and I was doing really well there, until I found out I'd been lied to again. Terrible, isn't it?

Claire, you'll be happy to know that we're not related after all, and also that you have a new reason to hate me.

Deb, what do you think? Should I turn myself in to you for the murder of Angela Petrelli? Or should I give you guys a fight, something to feel good about? Someone to come together against? I'm the villain, after all, that's supposed to be what I do. I've really been lacking with that, lately.

I'm not sure what I feel like, today.

Active day on the Network, today. Mother, I've been affected by the curse, just to warn you.

I found myself at the library rather frequently lately- I do love the books it gives me sometimes. The books are always amazing, usually from worlds I've never even heard of. It takes me awhile to even sort out what they're talking about half the time. I think the last one was about hippogriff mannerisms. It's almost enough to keep me distracted. Almost.

I try to make sure all my time is filled. I'm always doing something, because I can't stop, not unless I'm sleeping. Even then, I wonder if my mind is working out things on its own. That's good, I've had a great deal to think about lately. Reform's not meant to be easy, I suppose. Still, I wonder whether I'm making progress, or if the rest of my world is slipping backwards.

We're so close to Christmas, but even knowing that, and even after all of the latest craziness- I'm finding I'm bored. Silly, I know, but I need to find something else to do. Anyone have any suggestions?
