So things have been pretty quiet overall for Johnny. No major incursions, done studying with Jacen Pompeii in Greece, no Camarilla problems, nothing big.

Well, okay, the Knights of Retribution and the Gangrel seem intent on killing each other and Uncle Remus managed to keep them from throwing blows, at least for now. Gonna have to wait to see what happens. Probably gonna hit the fan in the next month or so, but Johnny can't do shit about it right now.

New Year's was pretty cool, seeing a bunch of licks from all over visiting Perez and Bear's Coffee Shoppe and hanging out like we were all mortal again and not just a bunch of vampires making power plays for eternity.

For the first time in probably 15 years, Johnny thought about the family Johnny left behind. Mom, Dad, Shannon, my sister. Kinda had to leave them all behind when Johnny became a vampire, you know? The first time Johnny though of Shannon as food, Johnny knew it was time to get the fuck out and immediately. Broke my mom's heart, I just know it.

Might have to try to track them down and see what become of them. Would kinda like to know what happened to Mom.
