 I finally got news from home and my mom continues her quest to share every little piece of gossip she can. But there was one bit of extra important, super big news she absolutely had to make sure I knew.

Jirou, Gakuto, did you two know that you left after me and should be arriving here soon? Because my mom practically blew out my eardrums in her video message in order to make sure I knew that.

Moms all around the universe are the same, huh?

Nevertheless, I'm sure it's nice to hear from family!

[shishido0929]

You have a mom that likes to talk too?

And yeah, it was nice. Thankfully it was all good news, nothing bad. I would love to know why my mom spent 10 minutes describing the new family that moved into the neighborhood though.

[sws_mizuki]

Oh yes. I have two older sisters too, so you can imagine the amount of gossip that comes every time...

Perhaps she was just imagining talking to you like you were in the room.

[shishido0929]

If they're anything like my mom, then I'm so sorry for you.

This is the furthest I've ever gone and my brother lives practically down the street from my parents so I don't think she knows how to handle this.

[sws_mizuki]

If that means telling you every mundane thing in excruciating detail at least three times, then yes.

You sound like a close-knit family!

[chickens]

How thoughtful of her. Are you going to send back to her that you'll keep an eye out for them?

[chickens]

Also just FYI since I'm fairly sure you're ignoring me in the hopes I just go away -- Gakuto has decided I'm one of his 4 total friends. I'm feeling particularly blessed by this and take it as full permission to be blunt and honest with him about things in the future.

[chickens]

Oh also, Gakuto is giving some truly excellent relationship advice. Very insightful.

I feel like he is an excellent human being, I feel quite comfortable talking to him.

As you may be able to see, the phrase above reads the same both forwards and backwards

[chickens]

I find it a more satisfying version of the old typical "racecar" example that people use.

It's just more fun.

[chickens]

From your silence, I shall assume you agree with me. It's so nice to find similarly minded people. I enjoy fun word facts like that.

[chickens]

PALINDROME. That's what they're called. Gosh golly I'm so glad I remembered that, it was secretly bothering me

So I seriously though it about sharing my favourite joke with you, because laughter is good medicine, right?

[chickens]

And then I was like oh I could do like one sentence per comment, to really build the suspense of the joke

[chickens]

But then I remembered that it's a 10,000 word joke. And that might take a while.

[chickens]

Okay just in case you worry and miss me, I'm actually going to get a couple of hours of sleep. But dont worry I'll be back soon to keep talking.

[chickens]

Oh, still silent and enjoying the conversation from the side, I see.

So once when I growing up I tested the cat at school on what sort of music it liked to listen to, it was fascinating.

[chickens]

The cat was quite happy to relax to bouncy pop music and didn't even mind if I sang along, it was quite flattering.

[chickens]

But then I played the Mary McCauley Suscipe and it did not like this at all.

[chickens]

oops! I got too keen into my story that I messed up the threading of my own comments ohno

[chickens]

Anyway. Where was I going with this story.

Right.

So I learned that this cat has definite music tastes. Didn't like rock either. Nto too keen on classical.

OK with jazz though. What a sinner.

[chickens]

Okay so I have a question.

So there's quite a few doctors on base now with like... you, Atobe, Oshitari, Seiichi.

[chickens]

oh shit forgot tachibana there for a second. I always forget he's a doctor, it's so dangerous

[chickens]

Okay, so Oshitari has the nickname "Dr Sexy". Does that make you feel weird at all? Sel-conscious that you don't get the title "Dr Sexy"?

Thoughts?

[chickens]

oh my goodness I'm so sorry I forgot all about this conversation.

I assume from your silence on the topic that you agree with my questions that you do feel weird and self-conscious.

[chickens]

you know, I think that's a fair reaction to have though. mr Oshitari is such a nice man. Very talkative, gives good insights.

I hope you've spoken to him before.

[chickens]

And if you haven't, that you now feel motivated to go talk to him. I think he'd like you.

[sanada_g]

A good palindrome.

I enjoy 'a nut for a jar of tuna'

[chickens]

Oh ho ho that's such a clever one!!

"Doc, note, I dissent. A fast never prevents a fatness. I diet on cod."

[sanada_g]

A surprisingly long and inspiring palindrome. Let me counter with two that are short but useful words of wisdom.

Step on no pets

and

Live not on evil

[chickens]

Oh those are very wise ones too. I see you are a fan of word things too, Sanada.

How do you feel about sentences that are palindromes by the words themselves? Like:

You can cage a swallow, can't you, but you can't swallow a cage, can you?

Or are you a purist?

[mgakuto]

LOL your mom is hilarious. But I'm sure she misses you and just wants to catch you up on everything.

[shishido0929]

There's a whole list of things. Absolutely none of them are vital to know but she seemed to think they were.

[mgakuto]

She just wants you to stay in the loop.

Be nicer to your mom.

[shishido0929]

You say that now but watch her next message be all about something with your family.

[mgakuto]

They're probably doing great.

[sanada_g]

It is nice that your mother is keeping you apprised of what is happening at home. Even if some of her news is outdated due to the nature of how it must travel.

[shishido0929]

She definitely meant well. It's just funny to me that her big message was that my two friends were coming when they've been here for a few weeks.
