I've calmed down considerably since Wednesday, having Friday to be depressed and mope and get everything out of my system.
The shift today was very, very relaxed, hardly any happenings and everyone seemed to be quite cheery, including [livejournal.com profile] hagar_972, who was still in pain, but was dealing a whole lot better today, most likely because the stress level was of the lowest we've had since the beginning of the Situation.

I'm going to be doing double shifts this week (four consecutive shifts without a 24 hour break between them), because I have an appointment I have to keep and I made it before my miluim was activated, so Hagar and I had to do a switchroo in order to no screw over Yaron (the other guy who does day shifts with us), so it ended up that I'll do four consecutive days, giving Hagar 48 hours of R & R, which she really needs, since she is more physically affected by the stress that I and she's been on active reserve since the first day of the fighting so it works well for everyone.

Hagar's Mother embarrassed me again, thanking me for letting Hagar rest, blush much? But seriously I need to keep this appointment and Hagar seriously needs to rest, so what harm is there? Plus, as I said today was pretty good, with not that many missiles falling in the north and Nassrallah looking like he hasn't slept a wink in the night(s). Today Nassrallah delivered a speech - I only got the soundbites, since the News I watch at the Army is without sound, so I only get to read the snippets, and let me tell you, he does not look like the great, smiling Shi'ite leader he looked like a couple of weeks ago.
He is so not the boogyman anymore for me, he's just a man, a pretty sad one as well, maybe it's just the peak, that's come from the bottom, but I feel really confidant about the way things are going. I won't go so far as to say optimistic, but I feel I am able to do double shifts for a friend and that's not how I felt yesterday.

Words can not express how proud I am of you.

You have no idea how your words affect me.

Thank you.

V and Justice

V: Ah, I was forgetting that we are not properly introduced. I do not have a name. You can call me V. Madam Justice...this is V. V... this is Madam Justice. hello, Madam Justice.

Justice: Good evening, V.

V: There. Now we know each other. Actually, I've been a fan of yours for quite some time. Oh, I know what you're thinking...

Justice: The poor boy has a crush on me...an adolescent fatuation.

V: I beg your pardon, Madam. It isn't like that at all. I've long admired you...albeit only from a distance. I used to stare at you from the streets below when I was a child. I'd say to my father, "Who is that lady?" And he'd say "That's Madam Justice." And I'd say "Isn't she pretty."

V: Please don't think it was merely physical. I know you're not that sort of girl. No, I loved you as a person. As an ideal.

Justice: What? V! For shame! You have betrayed me for some harlot, some vain and pouting hussy with painted lips and a knowing smile!

V: I, Madam? I beg to differ! It was your infidelity that drove me to her arms!

V: Ah-ha! That surprised you, didn't it? You thought I didn't know about your little fling. But I do. I know everything! Frankly, I wasn't surprised when I found out. You always did have an eye for a man in uniform.

Justice: Uniform? Why I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. It was always you, V. You were the only one...

V: Liar! Slut! Whore! Deny that you let him have his way with you, him with his armbands and jackboots!

V: Well? Cat got your tongue? I though as much.

V: Very well. So you stand revealed at last. you are no longer my justice. You are his justice now. You have bedded another.

Justice: Sob! Choke! Wh-who is she, V? What is her name?

V: Her name is Anarchy. And she has taught me more as a mistress than you ever did! She has taught me that justice is meaningless without freedom. She is honest. She makes no promises and breaks none. Unlike you, Jezebel. I used to wonder why you could never look me in the eye. Now I know. So good bye, dear lady. I would be saddened by our parting even now, save that you are no longer the woman I once loved.

*KABOOM!*
