Earth holidays don't seem strange or foreign to me anymore. Last weekend was "Mother's Day", and celebrating it didn't seem weird at all-- it was normal, even though we didn't have anything like it in the Fire Nation.

You could make the argument that I've been here for too long, but I'm still not convinced it's a bad thing.

It's an Earth holiday meant to celebrate mothers.

wHY,
hOW DO YOU CELEBRATE, uHH, mOTHERS,

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You do things with them, mostly. Pay attention to them. I'm not really sure why they have a separate day for it when you should really be paying attention to them every day, but apparently it's important here.

oH,
pERHAPS, oN eARTH, iT'S MAYBE UNCOMMON TO PAY ATTENTION,

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Maybe it is.

But I'm not going to do that.

[clapifyoubullieve]

bECAUSE YOU, uHH, cARE ABOUT YOUR MOTHER,
aND, wANT TO PAY ATTENTION,
rIGHT,

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Exactly. She wouldn't be my mother if I didn't love her.

yES,
sEE, tHAT IS WHY i THINK, yOU'RE A KIND PERSON aZULA,

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I'm not really, though. She's more of the exception than the rule.

[clapifyoubullieve]

oKAY, bUT, yOU WOULDN'T BE, uHH, mEAN TO SOMEONE WITHOUT A GOOD REASON, rIGHT,

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

No. If I'm mean to someone, I always have a reason.

[clapifyoubullieve]

sEE,

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

That doesn't mean I'm nice, though. It just means I'm not randomly mean.

[clapifyoubullieve]

oKAY, bUT,
iSN'T THAT KIND OF WHAT NICE PEOPLE DO, mAYBE,

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Aren't nice people randomly nice?

[clapifyoubullieve]

uHH, i DON'T KNOW,
i DON'T REALLY KNOW ANY RANDOMLY NICE PEOPLE,
eXCEPT MAYBE gAMZEE,

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... Hm. Maybe I am nice by your standards, then.

[clapifyoubullieve]

pOSSIBLY,
i WOULD CONSIDER SOMEONE WHO ISN'T MEAN TO BE NICE,

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

All right, then I'm nice. That still seems strange to say, though.

And you should consider getting different standards.

[clapifyoubullieve]

dIFFERENT STANDARDS,
wHAT DO YOU, uHH, mEAN BY THAT,

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

You probably haven't met very many truly nice people if you think I'm an overall nice person.

[clapifyoubullieve]

i THINK, mAYBE, yOU'RE BEING HARD ON YOURSELF,

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I'm not. I'm fine with not being nice.

[clapifyoubullieve]

oKAY, bUT,
yOU KIND OF AGREED WITH ME THAT, yOU ARE NICE,
sO MAYBE YOU COULD STOP SAYING YOU AREN'T, bECAUSE IT SORT OF UPSETS ME, }:(
