Cpt. Antonia (Anne) Adama

So, Christmas. Anyone have any big plans? Or any big lack of plans?

( Lee... )

I wish I had more time to play. Not play like I did when I was a kid, running around through the halls of Galactica... Gods, our parents were really tolerant or some of the stuff we did.

But I definitely wish I had more down time. Don't get me wrong, I like school. I'm good at it. Of course, not doing well has some pretty serious consequences. And with ROTC? Yeah, forget it. I have exactly NO PLANS on not doing my best there. It's not that Dad expects it or Grandpa or even Mom. I expect it. I WANT to be a pilot. Grandpa was a pilot, Dad was a pilot... It might be a little expected, but that's how it goes.

I'm an Adama. No matter what else happens in my life, I'll always be an Adama. Even more? I'm PROUD to be an Adama. Sure, it comes with a frak-ton of responsibility. You're always 'on'. Everyone expects you to always do your best, be the best.

[Locked from everyone but her grandfather]

Truth be told? I'm glad I'm not Joe. Being the oldest AND the guy? Yeah, he has a lot on his shoulders. I think he rides himself too hard, though. I think he thinks everyone expects more of him. They might. It's not right. But I'm going to be right there for him. Always. I'm his sister and he can always count on me, even if he and I don't always see eye to eye. Humanity is going to depend on us, ALL of us, and we have to work through it now to make sure things go smoothly later.

I just wish that I had more time to be ME. To not be one of the Adama kids. Secret? I love to dance. Love it. And I'm good at it. I started off with these ballet vid discs that I found laying around. Watching the same moves over and over again? I learned quickly and once I found out that one of the other ships had a former teacher on it, I was lost.

Not only is it fantastic exercise, it's relaxing. The stretching and the music? I wish I could have seen the Caprican Colonial Ballet... they were amazing if the videos I've seen are anything to go by.

[Locked from EVERYONE]

I wish I could get the courage to ask Nick Tyrol to teach me some of HIS dance moves.

OOC: This is from when she was a cadet, before her elopement - copied from her archive

Anne Adama

- went on to become a Raptor pilot
- became XO under Felix Gaeta, who had been promoted after her father retired
- became CO shortly after her 30th birthday when Felix retired

Not long after her 33rd birthday, Earth was found. Her brother, Joseph, was in his second term as President and the two of them worked out much the same deal that was seen in the series finale of the show. Less Cylon troubles, more happiness.

She stayed with Nicholas, Joseph married Hera (long before the Earth thing) and they all lived happily ever after(?)

I honestly didn't think that Raptors sat at that angle. Um, ever.

No, really. I heard, and felt, the crack as I hit the landing deck at a funny angle. And I admit I was going a bit faster than I think I should have been, but we were practicing combat landings and I SHOULD have been okay.

I don't know what happened. In fact, I'm really close to panicking. My dad is going to be SO angry and Chiang is NEVER going to let me fly again. Not to mention who has to FIX the busted landing skid...

Add to that the sheer TERROR I felt after realizing I was fine? I thought I might have killed my best friend. If I were Hera, I'd never trust ME to fly again, ever. I mean it. I'd never get into a Raptor with me ever again.

What was I THINKING?

I was watching the instruments and the flight deck and it all just looked closer than it was. I know my vision is fine, I just don't know what happened THIS time. It's bothering me. A lot.

Grandpa says I just need to learn from my mistakes and move past it...

[Locked from oh, everyone she ever knew ever]

But it scared the frak outta me. It seems silly looking back on it, but that noise and Hera- It just scared me.

[/lock]

... and I really hope I can.

I mean, I'm SURE I can. I just need to not think about it. Mistakes can happen to anyone, right? Right.

I can do this. I'm an Adama.
