I was going to talk about my class schedule, but then I thought that maybe I should talk about bodies because you don't have more than one body where you are from and it might be confusing for you to hear that I have four bodies - FOUR - or that Nervé only has 1.
I've heard rumors Malburger has over 30 bodies, figures. Also I heard they're all male bodies. But I'm not supposed to think he's weird, a teacher, a serial killer, and a time agent with over 30 bodies, all men, no female, not weird or open to criticism from a lowly student like me at all. Which I totally think is the way it should be, he's paid his dues, as the saying goes in your time.
I don't really know what the saying is in my time, but I know I am wrong for thinking he's weird so I should stop it.
In your time people often think how cool it would be to be able to clone themselves, and make multiple versions of themselves, and if one of those selves died you would then have the many clones running around all being you.
Well that is a super-stupid idea!
When that happens then you have a bunch of versions of you all running around at the same time arguing over who is the prime, if you're competitive in some area you'll be competing with yourself in that area all the time, and any psychological issue you have is bound to cause conflicts between your selves.
But it is nice the idea that if you were to die you could carry on beyond that unfortunate occasion.
So before we are born each person gets two bodies, the first is whatever you were going to be born as - male or female body - the second is a clone of that with the gender reversed, so if your original body was going to be male it would be female or if you were going to be female that other body would be male.
Because these bodies are essentially both you it is actually easy to transfer your persona, your memories and thoughts between them at any time. The secondary body is kept without a persona, and the primary one develops, at about the third month after you are born the transferal starts regularly, so that you may be male one day and female the next, then as you get over you decide what you want to be that day, and then after a bit you probably decide what you want to be for weeks at a time or most of the time or even like Malburger all the time (not weird at all!)
I am female about 62% of the time, Nervé before his other body died was about 50 / 50, now he's always male of course, and my friend Sausalito has 3 bodies, and is sooo jealous of me because I have 4! Sausalito is female about 80% of the time, two of her bodies are female. She really only ever takes male out when she is going on outings that benefit from upper body strength, and I have to hand it to her, her male body is jacked, she totally works it out and focuses on getting good muscles.

Nervé is also a bit muscular, but he is more like a runner / dancer and of course sword-fighter body (sword-fighting is his physical skill) He sometimes makes fun of Sausalito and his big muscles when Sausalito is a male.
So that's why Nervé only has one body, because it died, and it is a big worry for me. He says he doesn't worry, he says actually he doesn't care at all but he says it in a way that makes me think he cares so much he hates the world for it, and if you would offer him the body back he would refuse it just because of how mad he is.
I mean you think about it, how did Malburger end up with all male bodies? Obviously his female one died, and then he decided for some reason not to replace it. What is wrong with that guy? Nothing, I'm told.
I should probably get going I have class in a bit, but before I do I bet you're wondering how we get more bodies.
The Momentarium being a. meritocracy and the most perfect society ever built, which it ought to be having been made at the end of everything, of course rewards people who have done things especially well, and one obvious way to reward people is to give them more bodies because that way, if one of your bodies dies like it did with poor Nervé you still have a backup, or multiple backups - have enough backups and you are functionally immortal, unless some catastrophe was to strike the Momentarium and destroy all your bodies at once.
Now since we have time travel the answer is obvious, when you have done something to earn an extra body a message is sent back to the time of your gestation and instead of doing 2 versions of you - a male and female, they add a version of the gender specified, most people do 50 / 50 gender types, that is what I have right now - 2 males, 2 females, but obviously if you got to be really powerful and were getting rewarded with extra bodies all the time you might start requesting a favored gender more often than not. But most people like to just stay 50 / 50 because it is what most people like, no reason to flaunt your preferences like you don't care about the opinions of other people at all!
Anyway this is your friend Noiruzi Sangsung signing out and hoping my explanation of how bodies work here has cleared some things up for you, I hope you like my journal and leave comments because it will be a big plus for my grade that my writing was able to make an impression even on people from a far more primitive and exciting time than my own!
