The feeling you will never know

Oh man, the village is all abuzz. I took a break over christmas because my gosh it was busy but so worth it. I took almost all the extra from the treasury (much to my treasurers chagrin, the poor man I'm always unleashing my hair brained plans on him) and bought a large LARGE amount of books for our library. People have been coming from other towns just to check it out, I could go through the library records and find people that have books borrowed that live several days away, boy am I glad people are more trustworthy now than they will be.
Speaking of which, Its almost like I've created a time paradox or something. I can remember basically everything from my previous life now but also realize what time I'm in. I feel homesick and excited at the same time because for once I know where I came from.
Do you know what its like to have amnesia? probably not because if you do have amnesia you won't remember having it. Well I feel like someone who just found out who they are for the first time, their identity, their real name and their parents. Im just so scrambled.   

Shhh, people are trying to read

Sorry I ended that last note a little early but I just wanted to be alone, I know journals don't count as people or anything but I just wanted to be away ok. Anyway, I'm feeling a little better today and I was wondering what myself was thinking earlier in my reign so I checked out your pages to see, sigh no not that way Dave, yours so dirty, why would I check out a book? Oh wait, I do that all the time at the castle library. Hey speaking of which I forgot to tell you guys about that, I was filling up all my notes about the radio at the time. So now that I remembered it I'll tell you. I was really bored and since I wasted to do something nice for the town I tried to think of things we didn't have, I couldn't come up with any so I started searching through memories of the future (Im positive it does exist). After some thought I remembered that I frequently went to a place where I would read books and hang out, quietly though to respect other people who were reading. I decided to call it a library since I've been studying latin and liber is short for books. I know its not spelled alike but if you say them they sound very similar, the ary at the end is just because lot of places have that. Such as sanctuary and aviary. Hence the library was born, a place where anyone was invited and not just my advisors and such. So far I've gotten a lot of peasants involved and many have showed interest in learning to read since theres only about 5 picture books. I guess I'll have to hire a few writing tutors and have a reading class.

Past (home) sick

My diary has been a lot about the new "radio" I call it so today I'll talk about something else like.. oh, the war. The war has quieted down considerably and darn near disappeared. Thats why I haven't talked about it. The main enemies have accepted a treat and so now its just little clans and raiders to take care of. There was one guy though that was really going for me and my clan was like, "back off or we will squash you!" though and then he did. My clan is pretty awesome. Caper is turning into a pretty good friend as well. He remind me a lot of my Dad in some ways, he's caring but not too much so and he's always telling stories. It makes me wish I could go back to what I remember and see my parents again... I'll talk to you tomorrow Dave.

Testing a new breakthrough

The ants finished making some adjustments to the crude microphones and set off to test it on an ally. I know that they won't get squished and I have assurance that they will come back because I let the allies know. The ants have orders to be seen as little as possible and make minimal noise, if the castle dwellers hear or see anything suspicious they are to let me know so the ants can identify the weaknesses in their setup.
I think its an ingenious device and if only we could modify it someway so that eventually I could give one to each of my friends and have multiple people talking at once. So far there can be multiple people talking at once but they kind of tone each other out sometimes... maybe this could be fixed by adding more wires... no they transmit it wirelessly to my receiver. Maybe we could have multiple receivers  and I could hire young educated men and women to act as secretaries so nothing that comes through goes unrecorded. I'll have to ask the ants about that.

Bad day for a caper

Today was kinda crappy, don't know why I guess it was just a teenager thing. and guess who found me? not Jarvis, not a maid... it was Caper.
at the time I didn't think anything about it but now I wonder, why was he looking for me and how did he find me? No one knows of my hiding spot.
When he found me he noticed I was kind of dejected and told me a story he came up with about a boy who got lost and no one could find him. he also said the boy had a wonderful family and they immediately started searching for him. I don't know why he put emphasis on the part about rescuing the boy though. It seemed as though that was his favorite part, losing the boy but immediately sending out search parties and finding him soon after...
Guess its not important though, so long as I'm having a better day now. You know what though, that story reminded me a lot of myself in a way.

Ant antenna the new way

Heya been kinda busy Dave, but I'm back. I know I've been neglecting you but I hope I can remember better. The ants have been working hard and came up with a device that can transmit sound over many miles. I knew this as a "radio" I think, my memories are a little fuzzy about some things.
If we can get just a little bit more range on it we could use it to spy on the jerks attacking us. It's small enough that a beetle and a small troop of ants could carry the whole transmitter and microphones around and set it up. The microphones are set up in key locations marked by our spies (which can get in but have trouble eaves dropping by the way) and then they send the sound to the transmitter and according to the ants that sends it to the receiver. I don't know how efficient it would be with multiple microphones because there could be multiple conversations... I guess for ants though this is very advanced as it is so I shouldn't expect it to be perfect.
I hope this wonderful friendship between us and the ants can continue, along with my positive mindset.
