Yesterday's curse was an interesting one, wasn't it? I'm starting to think that's a favorite trick of the City's--to curse us into talking about the things we've done, and having us put them up for scrutiny on the Network so others can see them, too. Of course, the twist on this one was having us deliberately deem those actions as bad or good, naughty or nice, as though we were weighing them out on scales to see which side they tipped towards.

Sometimes things work that way. Some things are easy enough to put into one category or another, since there can be little doubt that they are one or the other. I once knew a witch that was as evil as evil could be, and I don't think she ever did a nice thing in her life. Her deeds would be easy enough to classify that way, no doubt.

But sometimes things aren't so easy to set as one way or another. I've learned that quite a few times over, since I came to the City. Sometimes, the story behind the actions matters a great deal more than the actions themselves--and the same action can look many different ways, depending on the reasons why it was taken.

Still, I'm glad I wasn't cursed yesterday. I hear that the City did some of the sorting for people, rather than compelling them to do it themselves, and I'd really rather not hear the City's opinions on some of the things I've done. I know why I did them, and I'm content with that.

Besides, there are much more pleasant things to think about--like how there's only six more days until Christmas! And it'll be my second Christmas here, too. So there'll be plenty to think about in the next few days, and lots of running around to do to get everything ready for that. Right now, though, I'm rather stuck until my sight returns-- content to just relax for the evening, and that's fine, too.

...How much longer is it, now, until midnight?
