Li-Mei starts prattling on in an airy voice: Hoya Mal. It was nice seeing you in the D the other night, even though we didn't really talk all that much, but I guess since you're only half-alien you're not too bad, and my hair wasn't always white like it is now, as I used to be a red-head, but then ...

Time had no meaning.

All that was left of her was the fragments that she used to know as her mind. Anything resembling a physical form had long since drifted away leaving nothing but the rawness of her being. And even that was begining to slip.

It felt like she was dirfting to sleep, something ...

[ This is the first part of the story covering Li-Mei's evolution. This is the end of 'Nuclear Kisses' and the birth of a whole new Lei. ]

I never really wanted to get into this, but Mr. Conrads thought it would help a great deal. Guess I'm still not really adjusted well to everything I've been ...

Dear Diary,

Short tempered.

That may be an major understatement to describe how I've been lately. I just can't seem to find the patience lately to deal with other people. Everything just seems to annoy the hell outta me. The way they talk, how they comb thier hair, how they eat, breath, sleep ...

Dear Diary,

I've been with Pluto alot lately. Nothing romantic like, I've just been feeling so down lately, and she's been there to cheer me up. She's just always so easy to talk to, and even when it feels like noone else can understand, she always seems to. And she feels good to snuggle up next ...

Dear Diary,

Summer's gone... Didn't even say good-bye...

Does getting dumped always hurt this bad?

You stupid little...

Wish I still had tearducts cause I could really use a good cry.

Dear Diary,

War.

Lot's of hurt inside.

Haven't wanted to think about anything. And even though the hostilities have been mostly contained and life's getting back to normal, I don't really want to think much about it much less talk about it. Maybe someday I'll be able to let it out, just not ...

Dear Diary,

Got a call from Dad today, and it turned into a big argument. Seems they saw a certain article on the internet from a few weeks back. I guess I'd better explain that, see, it's not like it was anywhere close to national headlines. Far from it actually. All I did was stop some dumb ...

Dear Diary,

I've decided to stop going to my 'special place' for a while, for a couple of reasons actually. For starters, my teachers have really started to take notice of my absenses. It was a little messy and I think I was pretty close to getting kicked out of school for it. Unfortunatly, my ...

Dear Diary,

I'm not really sure how long it's been since I last wrote. Even looking at a calender or a clock doesn't seem to help. My sense of time seems to be getting pretty screwed up. I've been...gone...

It's a special place all my own, yet I share it with everyone around me. I just...release ...

Dear Diary,

I think my recent elusiveness was noticed by some of my classmates. I was indtroduced to someone today....someone I think I can actually relate to.

Glowing green hair.

It was beautiful. I couldn't take my eyes off it. And her atoms gave off the most comforting energy I've ever felt ...

Dear Diary,

Disassociation , n . separation of an idea or feeling from the main stream of consciousness.

I feel so lost right now. I think all these changes are taking a toll on me. I haven't been to class in a week... I've just been wandering the city with no purpose. I just can't seem to ...

Dear Diary,

Alright, so, today I'm gonna stop complaining about my freakshow of a body and tell you about a boy. I know, I know...I'm not really atracted to boys but this guy was a little different than most. His name's Roo, or Jade Rooster, as he calls himself. So there I was, hanging out in ...

She wore a pale green sundress. Quite a change from her normal long-coat and leather. With the heat of the day, she was glad for the change of wardrobe. She didn't even mind the appreciative stares of the men around her. Besides, if looking at her brought a smile to the lips of these honest ...
