If you wish to post this in your journal, it's been requested that you title it I'm afraid of _ out of 72 common fears

If you get more than 30, I strongly recommend some counseling
If you get more than 20, you’re paranoid.
If you get 10-20, you are normal.
If you get 10 or less, you’re fearless.
People who don’t have any are liars.

---------------------------------------------

I have written 34293/50000 words for NaNo!
YAY!
You know what the BEST NaNo aid is, besides caffiene?
[link]
IT'S THE GREATEST THING EVEEEEEER!
If you need to write a paper (a crappy paper, but still, a paper) in time for your class in an hour, or if you want to write as much as possible for maybe half an hour a day, Write or Die is for you!

You are given a choice of consequences: Gentle Mode, Normal Mode, or Kamikaze Mode. To avoid permanent scarring, I suggest Normal Mode or Gentle Mode (though if you get distracted a lot, then you might be permanently scarred by Normal Mode too)...
So you have a white screen, time limit in the bottom left corner, word count in the bottom right. Each second you spend not typing, the screen slowly clicks from white to pink to red. Once it gets bright red...

--Gentle Mode: After a few seconds of no typing, a small window pops up telling you to get moving. FOR THE WIMPS AND WEAK OF HEART!

--Normal Mode: After a few seconds of no typing, "Never Gonna Give You Up" starts playing. It used to be something else, but I was (un)pleasantly surprised when I heard the change. Rickroll + Metal = NOT COOL.

--Kamikaze Mode: I used this mode last year. It actually did scar me for a while. Seriously. When I had to write in English class, I wrote AS FAST AS POSSIBLE TO AVOID THE AUTOMATIC DELETION OF MY WORK! Seeing your words slowly disappearing before your eyes really does make you pick up the pace.

So, um, yeah, it's awesome, USE IT IF YOU MUST!
I got 2000 words in 55 minutes!

As for my story, it's coming along sloooooowly.... Like, I won't even be close to done when I reach the 50,000 word mark. x-x Honestly, it's getting on my nerves, but part of the reason it's so slow is because I don't know what to do. I'm actually just getting to the part that I thought would take up the majority of the novel, and I guess I was wrong! ~Fadedmemory31 http://Fadedmemory31.deviantart.com/journal/28115126/ http://Fadedmemory31.deviantart.com/journal/28115126/ Mon, 02 Nov 2009 20:22:29 PST That means it's NaNoWriMo Month.
Which means I'm writing a novel that's 50,000 words long. (at least)
And so far, I'm 1/10th of the way through.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH~!

It's depressing though: my hometown has a word count of... 7231 words... And I'm responsible for 3000 of those (it hasn't update today, where I earned 2000 more words).
AM I AND ONE OTHER THE SOLE REPRESENTATIVE OF MY CITY?!? D8
This... is both amazing and depressing at the same time.
I SHALL SHOULDER THE BURDEN AND LEAD MY TOWN TO VICTORY! -raises sword; crowd cheers-

Besides that, I listened to the Mercenaries 2 theme song over and over and over and over and over again. And I wish to add it to my MP3, and play it during the appropriate moments, despite its extreme Lyric Dissonance. Ahhhhhhh hahahahahahahaha, please tell me I'm not the only one that adores songs that are uppity with horrible lyrics/edgy with happy lyrics?
~Ohh NOOOOOO ohh NOOOOOOOOO oh no oh no oh noooo...~
~Sucka tried to play me, but you never paid me, never~
~OH NO YOU DIDN'T!~
But yeah, it made me want to hook up the PS2 and play Mercenaries again.
And make a ramp outta that one bridge so I can jump off it...
And blow stuff up...
And do jobs for the Russian Mafia...
Hahahahahahahahahaha.... It's almost as fun as Dynasty Warriors, but instead of annihilating masses of people with swords, you do so with airstrikes!
Wow, these games sound horribly violent... I'm- I'm scared... :c

WHY AM I HYPPPPPPPPER?!?
I haven't changed my mood in ages, because the emoticon amuses me and it seems to fit the mood of this journal. SO STAY IT SHALL!

]]> ~Fadedmemory31 http://Fadedmemory31.deviantart.com/journal/27141273/ http://Fadedmemory31.deviantart.com/journal/27141273/ Thu, 10 Sep 2009 21:00:06 PDT —Team Fortress 2

And after that endearingly short trope title/quote from TV Tropes, on to the actual journal-meme-thing.



Rules!
- Open your music program of choice and put it on shuffle.
- For each question, hit the next song and put down the song title.
- No matter how stupid it is, you must go with the first song that pops up, no exceptions!


1. Some days I just feel like:
A Lot Like Me (8D Oh, MP3, you conniving gadget you...)

2. Right now I am thinking:
Notion (boring)

3. My favorite type of day is:
A Flame for Freedom (xD Fits, I guess)

4. Nothing beats a good:
Conspiracy of One (Oh Offspring, your song names are SO meme-answerable)

5. When stuff confuses me, I just say:
Kristy, are you doing okay? (ANOTHER Offspring song?! Third one!)

6. My view on sex is summed up with this word/phrase:
Disappear (Hrmm...)

7. What should you do with your life?
Warum ('Why', for all you non-German people out there. Does this mean I'm questioning my path?)

8. I hope my last words are:
X (….... WORDS! D:<

9. Facebook quizzes like this are dumb. I’d rather:
Got it Made

10. At my funeral, they’d better be listening to:
Tar and Sagebrush

11. What my friends really think of me:
Betrayed (DD: what does THIS mean? Are you LYING to me, Zen?!)

12. Some days I just want to scream out:
OH GOODNESS, I'm NOT putting out what first came up; it was SO BAD! :0 It completed the sentence, but....
Instead, I'll put.... Samba... o-O

13. I love to eat, especially when the food tastes like:
Prayer of the Refugee (._.)

14. I’m not racist, I just think:
I Can Walk on Water (Arrogance? Or maybe this means I'm a ninja...)

15. Lots of these made no sense, but that’s because:
Wer Bin Ich (Ah yes, because I speak German, of course! 8D Also, this translates into 'Who am I', so I guess I also have amnesia)

16. My music knows me best, that’s why it knows that all I want for Christmas is:
Savior (LOVE this song)

17. When I laugh a lot of people say I sound like:
PHOTOFINNISH (Oh ho ho, it's spelled that way too)

18. My feelings on gay marriage are summed up in this word/phrase:
Monument (Hrmm....)

19. If that last one made no sense to you, then I just have this to say to you:
Scars of Yesterday (Now this just makes that last one sound shady)

20. My last thought after this little quiz thing is this:
Structure (ahahahaha!)

~ If you don’t have at least 8 OCs I wouldn’t recommend this meme
~ Add on questions to this meme! It will make it bigger! (bold your questions too)
~ TAG PPL PLZ
~ Enjoyyyyyyyy!


1) First list all your OC’s by first name so we can see your list of all your wonderful OC’s: I was nice and put the stories they're in next to their name.

1. Ken (I forgot his last name; Butler? Williamson?) (Power Within)
2. 'Kite' (she never tells her real name) (PW)
3. Deceit (Trust Deceit)
4. Illiam (TD)
5. Cameron Pierce (As-Of-Yet Unnamed Story)
6. Riley Bishop (AOYUS)
7. Phoenix Crane (AOYUS)
8. 'Tight' (Similar to Kite) (PW)
9. Em (PW)
10. Austin (I think that's what I called him) (PW)

2) Who is your favorite OC?
Out of all of these? Either Deceit or Austin

3) Who is your least favorite?
Probably.... Tight

4) Who is your most developed?
Deceit :3

5) Which OC would you want to date if they magically came to life?
Hmmm.... I'd say Ken

6) How many girl OCs do you have? Boy OCs? It OCs?
Four girls, six guys

7) If you were stuck in a burning building what do you think the third OC on your list would do?
He would probably manage to escape. No guarantees on if he'd help the others though.

8) Name one thing you regret about one of your OCs.
Not so much regret, but I'm displeased with the reasoning behind Austin's evilness. That's what I get for not planning it out...

9) Which of your OCs do you think would make the best father/mother/it parent out of all your OCs and why??
I know who'd make the WORST father (-cough-Deceit-cough-). The best parent would probably be... Riley or Em.

10) Which of your OCs do you think will most likely be put in jail?
Austin, -beep-, Phoenix, and Deceit. Three because they're bad guys, and Deceit because he likes to make people angry and is an all around jerk.

11) The eighth of your OCs was put into the future! What will their job be?!?
Uh.... o-o Finding a way to get back.

12) Name the first OCs catch phrase! (if they don’t have one just make one up)
“WHAT'S GOING ON!?! D8”

13) Do all your OCs live together or are they separated?
Ken, Tight, Em, and Kite all live together. Deceit and Illiam not only live together, but they have the same body.

14) Are there any pairings that are in your OC list? (they can’t be with someone else's)
KitexKen, one-sided EmxTight (Em pining for Tight), and possibly RileyxCameron (Riley's a chick).

15) Your seventh OC switched bodies with you for a day! How will they react at the end of the day?
Well, undercover work IS quite wonderful >:]

16) Your last OC just became a fifteen year old. What do they do?
Well, that suits Austin's plans perfectly! ;D

17) Now randomly select a person on your OC list. Who was it?
Illiam

18) That OC you just chose? Yeah they think they are superman (even if they are a girl) and are on the roof about to jump off.
Poor Deceit. He's trying so hard to keep Illiam from doing it.

19) Are any of your OCs bored of this meme?
Deceit, Austin, Tight, Ken, and Riley!

20) Would your second OC prefer the beach or the mountains?
Mountain; it's colder up there

21) Would your tenth OC battle a shark?
Yes. He'd probably win too

22) Which OCs hate each other?
Ken and Austin, Illiam and Deceit pretty much hate each other, and I have a feeling Riley and Cameron will grow to hate Phoenix

23) Which OC did you create first? And last?
Out of these? Ken is first. And I created Phoenix yesterday (came up with her name today, lol).

24) Back to the two that hate each other. Do they ever make wise cracks back and forth? Or are they constantly serious when in the same room?
Ken and Austin are constantly serious, Deceit and Illiam are ALWAYS fighting (and their fights are amusing, considering they're in one body), and Riley/Cameron are pretty serious towards Phoenix, though she's quite nice.

25) And if those two were fighting, who would win?
Well, in the one fight before they shared a body, Deceit won by a landslide; Austin would win against Ken; and Phoenix could take down both Riley and Cameron.

26) Are your OCs fat or skinny?
They're mostly slim. In Deceit/Illiam's case, bony (though they're now gaining muscles); Austin is muscular.

27) What are your first 2 OC's favorite foods?
Ken likes s... ]]> ~Fadedmemory31 http://Fadedmemory31.deviantart.com/journal/25961331/ http://Fadedmemory31.deviantart.com/journal/25961331/ Wed, 15 Jul 2009 10:30:31 PDT
So, right now, I should be working on my Dialectical Journals for my summer homework, but I don't feel like it. I've finished one book, about a sixth of the way through the other, and... I just got the third yesterday. WHY DID THEY GIVE US THREE BOOKS?!
Bah. Teachers.

Anyways, I fell in love with a video game series called Phoenix Wright. It pwns. It involves analytical skillz. If you always need a walkthrough for games, you're screwed if you ever play this. One, because it's not fun if you use a walkthrough all the time(well, no game is fun if you use a walkthrough all the time, but this one more so), and two, it gives away spoilers. Like, extreme spoilers. Oh, and it's extremely twisty. Hahahaha! I love twists x3
But it's great. So play it now.

I have a medical forum in, like, 5 days that I'm freaking out over. Hence the awesome hysterical smiley (I DIDN'T JUST CHOOSE IT BECAUSE IT PWNS). I'm not a freak-out-in-an-obvious-way person. I'm more of the subtle-freak-out type. Like, I dreamed about it. I dreamed I forgot everything. It's gonna be fun, but OH GEEZ, I'm anxious.

-Sigh-
I should really stop procrastinating now... Ugh.

Hmmm... I've gotten into painting my nails. Yeah. I change the color every couple of days. I don't think I've had them without polish since the beginning of May. -shrugs- oh well.

I've gotten to writing (not typing, writing) my story, which is under the tentative title of The Game (which you've lost). I am at what I call "Phase 2", which is basically "Seth finally finds out what's going on (in a sense) and is finally an official player of The Game." In any case, he's met Neil and he's about to get his first task. About meaning in around five pages. And it's already 12 pages long (YAY!!)
I HAD TO SHOW THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN HIM AND HIS FRIENDS, OKAY! It's important... somewhat. >->

Really? I don't have much more to say. I will say that now I'm either going to watch AVGN or Nostalgia critic, I might chill on the Sims 3 forums, or I'll play Phoenix Wright. Or all three at the same time. Yeah, I'm that awesome.

Changed it to how the creator changed it (See: Vampire). Apparently it had been going up on Livejournal, and people had added "You sparkle" beneath vampire. WTC, people, WTC?
And my D.Gray-Man addiction has returned... x-x I wish I owned more than 4 volumes. I really wanna read the fifth, but I don't feel like reading it online again.
Also, Harry Potter is so cross-overable. I love reading Anime-HP cross-overs. xD Maybe because the characters beat Harry in an Angst-fest, and Harry snaps out of his little whiny emo behavior. IDK. But their interesting, and I've only found 2 ones that I actually deem worthy of reading.
ANNNNDDD!!! They've come out with a second FMA anime~! I watched it last night. Sooooo good. x-x KFJALSJF;LAKWJERLN I'm very happy. And the opening is good too. GAH! Next episode must come out soon! *goes off to look for date*
I would totally buy FMA merchandise, but I don't like buying stuff online and that's the only place I can find it.

Right now, I have Amatsuki on my mind. Amatsuki is this new manga I discovered while looking for some new manga to read. I have to say, I am hooked. Though it's a "shoujo" (which is typically what I view as Romance), it's amazing, if not confusing.
It all starts when the main character, Rikugou Tokidoki, fails his history class. In order to get the grade, his teacher tells him to visit a museum exhibit about Edo(Edo was the period before and during the time the foreigners came about). The exhibit he goes to turns out to be sort of an indoor, green-screen exhibit. The visitor puts on goggles and a kimono given to them at the door, and it's like they're actually walking through Edo. In here, Rikugou meets Kon, a drop-out. Kon tells him a bit about the exhibit and the time period, then walks off and is lost in the crowd.
Rikugou is looking around the exhibit on his own, when he sees a lion-like beast in his path. He thinks it's all part of the exhibit, until the lion attacks him and steals the vision from his left eye. He is saved by a female warrior, Kuchiha, who brings him to her home. He learns that he is no longer in the present, but is now in Edo, and demons, monsters, and other supernatural things are real. It turns out Kon is also in this Edo world, and claims to have been there for two years.
Anyway, it's very good, and like I said, slightly confusing. There are flashbacks, and the manga will occasionally deviate into the real world, where it follows a group of people investigating the Sensai family Company and some of their technology (which includes things like VIRTUAL REALITY).
I don't know if any of the volumes are available in America, but I'm going to buy them if there are.

Anyway, other stuff... I went to a tennis match Thursday and my back got burnt badly (;~; I can't sleep on my side, which is how I always sleep). Spring Break is just around the corner, thank goodness, and I want ice cream.

I have absolutely NO updates to make to my life, sadly enough. BLERGH!

EDIT: I just realized how picky I am when it comes to watching anime. xD I started watching the first episode of Saiyuki, and after the themesong finished, the show started. It was in English. I stopped it and checked my other anime sites for a subbed version.
Why I require my anime to be in Japanese, I'll never know. o-O Maybe because it's "authentic". Maybe because I'd just finished the first Amatsuki episode, and that was in Japanese.

Anyway, Zen tagged me for this, and I decided to do it. So blah!

1. My favorite band at the moment is a Jap. Rock band called Abingdon Boys School. They are amazing <3 (here’s a pic!: [link] They look like girls, kinda :3) Their greatest song? I don’t know.

2. I call Valentine’s Day “St. Valentine’s Day Massacre Anniversary” which was pretty much a gangwar between Al Capone and some other dude. o-o I don’t know why I say that though...

3. My favorite manga, at the moment, is D.Gray-Man. It’s rated OT. I wasn’t aware of this when I started reading it (no wonder some of the pictures were scary xD ). As an extra fact, I found A.B.S. because they did the first opening for the DGM anime (Innocent Sorrow)

4. I’m currently obsessed with the Hardy Boys. No idea why, either.

5. When I saw the movie Wanted, it really confused me when the movie claimed the order started thousands of years ago, then said a few moments later that the cloth they got the names to assassinate gave the names in binary code. o-o

6. The movie Wanted, based off a comic book, had so many plot holes, if you tried driving a truck over them, it would fall into the hole and disappear. I mean, really, what made the first man to discover that the loom gave names in a code not-yet-invented, then decided to kill that person?

7. I really want to read the batman comics, but I don’t know where to find them.

8. Whenever I read the ending to a semi-long series, it makes me want to cry because it’s THE END. Not just the end, but THE END. I’ll probably cry at the end of the Pendragon series this may.

9. The thought of how the 58th original Hardy Boys book will end really intrigues me. If you’ve read it, you’ll know what I’m talking about (maybe...o-O)

10. I’m stumped for facts.

11. My favorite Superhero is, for lack of originality, Batman. I grew up watching that show (well, the animated series in the 90’s at least). I like his sidekick Robin better though.

12. I have two more books to finish before I complete the original 58 Hardy Boys. One of them is book #44, which I skipped because I’ve read it before.

13. My favorite supervillain is the Riddler from Batman, because he’s cool like that. A good runner up would be the Joker (and not necessarily Heath Ledger’s Version). Why? Because he makes me laugh (you have to admit, his jokes/actions are funny sometimes).

14. My favorite antagonist would be Saint Dane from the Pendragon series, because he’s an amazing shapeshifter that really does believe he will save the world (he has a sort of “The end justifies the means” way of thinking). Also, he always seems to be one step ahead of Pendragon :3. There are many times when it feels like the good guys win, and Saint Dane has a trick up his sleeve....

15. My mind is a frightening place. xD You don’t wanna go there.

16. I wanna learn Japanese because it’s a pretty language. I also want to know what a.b.s. are singing about x-x

17. Still stumped.

18. It’s taken me a long time to do this thing.

19. “Almost Easy” by Avenged Sevenfold is the one song in the category Impossible on Rock Band 2. I passed with an 87% on the drums on hard, and a 100% on vocals on hard. o-o

20. I seem to have this paranoia that my computer is being traced by the government xD Darn this Patriot Act!

21. I act as if I treat my sims badly on Sims 2, but I really don’t. The last bad thing that happened to my sim would be his collapse into insanity, but that was because the stupid private school headmaster wouldn’t get any points for the schmooze interaction until an hour was left. He rejected Nicolai’s three kids from private school, and that was too much for him.

22. Despite my previous statement, I have plans to befriend the headmaster, invite him over, and kill him. The greatest part? It fits into the plot for my legacy.

23. I talk to myself when I do work, especially math. I don’t know why.

24. I want to learn the dance to Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal

25. I want to buy a PS3 just for the game Final Fantasy vs XIII

THIS THING TOOK TOO LONG! I tag... no one >-> *runs off to youtube and Hardy Boys*

First off, I'd like to say that Sims 3 has been delayed because the people think it's good publicity.
My response?
%*@# you.
I swear, unless EA makes an "OMG, THE ALMIGHTY OF ALL EXPANSION PACKS!", I'm only getting the base game.
EA sucks when it comes to their computer games.

Now that that is outta the way, I'd like to say a couple words...
I PLEDGED ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.
Sound familiar? Yeah, that's the USA's Pledge of Allegiance. Every morning, they have it on the announcements. They ask you to please stand for the pledge. I used to not say the pledge, but I would stand for it, which is more than what other people do. God %#$@ it, they're so lazy. The pledge comes on, and one other guy besides me stands. I end up shouting out the pledge, hoping that I can actually hear myself speak over all the talking. What. The. Hell. I mean, grow up. At least act like you respect the nation's pledge. So many times, I want to shout in class, "THAT'S RIGHT, YOU UNPATRIOTIC IDIOTS!"
The worst part? If I asked them WHY they didn't say the pledge, it would be because they didn't feel like it. Wow. What a great cause. It moves me. I'm gonna be lazy now.

Oh, but I'm not done yet. Highschoolers are so PETTY. They start idiotic rumors just to bring someone down, and they mostly aren't true. People think it's GREAT FUN to say this person had sex with this person, or this person is such a slut, or yadda yadda yadda. Screw them. What idiots. Like they're perfect? Oh yeah, they have the PERFECT streak. They've NEVER laid each other in their drunken fits. Yep.
Oh, have I mentioned how stupid they are too? Girl A is dating Boy B. Boy B goes to a party, gets drunk, and does it with Girl C. It goes through the grapevine, Girl A manages to get Boy B to admit, and what happens? People start saying loudly how sluttly Girl C is, how she wants to do it with every guy.
What in the world?
Er, wouldn't it technically be Boy B's fault? I mean, he's the one being a man slut in the first place, right? So why is everyone going around blaming the girl? Oh, right, I forgot that it's perfectly acceptable for guys to go and do it with every thing that's classified as female. Better yet, they're hailed for their godliness and might. But if a girl does the same thing, she's a slut, whore, etc etc etc. Thus begins my quest to call all "playas" man sluts, because that's what they are. In fact, take man off of that. They're just sluts.

Andddddd I'm done now. Rawr. I'm still angry. >

Choose 10 of your OC's. Or ten of your favorite people.(like friends, family, celebrities. Anyone you think is cool.) But you can't choose yourself.

1: Chance (Female; Somewhere in the middle)
2: “Villain” (Male; Antagonist)
3: Sophia (Female; Protagonist)
4: Ken (Male; Protagonist)
5: “Lance” (Male; Protagonist)
6: Kite (Female; Protagonist)
7: Deceit (Male; Protagonist)
8: Vitium (Male; Antagonist)
9: “Mentor” (Male;...Protagonist)
10: Illiam (Male; Protagonist)

Lemme organize the stories each character belongs to. Ken and Kite are in the story Power Within (which I finished recently <3; Ken and Kite are friends). Chance, Sophia, Vitium, Illiam, and Deceit all belong to my NaNoWriMo called Trust Deceit (which I also finished; Chance, Vitium, and Deceit are all Half-Gods, while Illiam and Sophia are human. Illiam, however, shares a body with Deceit.). “Mentor”, “Lance”, and “Villain” all belong to my “Fantasy Story”, which I’ve yet to write (“Mentor” is “Lance’s” teacher).


1) 4 (Ken) invites 3 (Sophia) and 8 (Vitium) to dinner at their house. What happens?
Vitium wouldn’t even go, considering Ken and Sophia are just mere mortals. However, he fails to realize that Ken isn’t a mere mortal. Sophia would go, and she and Ken would have a nice dinner together. :3

2) 9 (“mentor” tries to get 5 (“Lance” to go to a strip club.
xDD wow, completely unintentional, this. Well, Lance, despite being 17, would tag along (very happy that instead of keeping him from doing so, Mentor encouraged him). However, if too much time passed by, he would start bugging mentor, saying they had more important things to do, like save the world. Mentor would ignore him.

3) You need to stay at a friend’s house for the night. Do you choose 1 (Chance) or 6 (Kite)?
Oh man, Chance or Kite? Hmmm... I would say Kite. Chance would be a bit too uppity to really have fun with. Kite is closer to my age, and seems fun.

4) 2 (Villain) and 7 (Deceit) are making out. 10 (Illiam) walks in...Their reaction?
xDDDD This is ALSO unintentional. So, Deceit and “Villain” are making out, and Illiam pops up (I don’t know where he’d been, seeing as he and Deceit share a body). Illiam would definitely freak out; if Deceit is making out with Villain, so is Illiam. Illiam would manage to get control of the body and run off, and Deceit would just laugh.

5) 3 (Sophia) falls in love with 6 (Kite). 8 (Vitium) is jealous. What happens?
*head desk~ Well, I don’t know why Vitium would care much. However, since he sort of gains energy off people’s suffering (yes, he’s a sadist), he’d go and tell Ken, who WOULD care, and the poor baby would just about snap.

6) 4 (Ken) jumps you in a dark alleyway. Who comes to your rescue? 10 (Illiam), 2 (Villain) or 7 (Deceit)?
I’m not too surprised that Ken would jump me, since I made his life miserable. My savior would most likely be Deceit and Illiam, though it’d mostly be Illiam. :3 He did this sort of thing before. Deceit would go along with it.

7) 1 (Chance) decides to start a cooking show. 15 minutes later, what is happening?
Chance is a Half-God that controls fate. She’s going to tweak it a bit so her cooking is the best, and so that she gets lots of viewers. That’s how it is.

8) 5 (Lance) is in a car crash and is critically injured. What does 9 (Mentor) do?
Mentor would stay by Lance’s bedside, acting sad and using all his powers to save Lance. Lance would survive. (Of course, this scenario would only play out before the plot twist )

9) 3 (Sophia) has to marry either 8 (Vitium),4 (Ken), or 9 (Mentor). Who do they chose?
Look, it’s the first straight coupling! Anyway, Sophia would choose Ken. Vitium is a bit of a psycho and tried to kill her friends. Mentor is old and arrogant, and doesn’t have much appeal in anything. Ken is angsty and emo, but geez, he’s the closest to her age and acts the most normal. She would choose Ken.

10) 7 (Deceit) kidnaps 2 (Villain) and demands something from 5 (Lance) for 2's release. What is it?
Well it’s quite obvious why Deceit kidnapped Villain (coughquestion4cough). Deceit would probably request a chocolate cake. However, Lance wouldn’t give it to him, because Villain has tried to kill him.

11) You get to meet either 1 (Chance) or 6 (Kite). Who do you chose?
Oh, Chance! I’d want to ask her s... ]]> ~Fadedmemory31 http://Fadedmemory31.deviantart.com/journal/22806138/ http://Fadedmemory31.deviantart.com/journal/22806138/ Sun, 25 Jan 2009 15:03:48 PST
The OC will be from a story that I'm working on. I have the bones thought up, but I have yet to think up any names (suggestions are appreciated) or the ending. So far, my MC is nicknamed Lance. I would go through all the details, but I don't have enough battery power on the laptop.

Soooo, the house I'm staying in sucks. It has fleas, and the power has been going out recently. Right now, the electrical outlets don't work. The TV is plugged in, but won't turn on. Get it? I'm living on the thought that there will only be a few more weeks until we can move back into our real home, but the inspector is late, so there might be a delay. *stabs table*

And I have no one to talk to.

Whenever I post up these journals, I feel like I'm talking to myself, cause the only one to respond them are Zen. But w/e. It helps me sort out my thoughts.

On top of all this, My throat is sore. >-< I hope I'm not getting sick.

Geez, I can't type today. first I spell schizophrenic wrong, then my grammar sucks.... Okay, no battery bye.

So, my phone and MP3 problem is fixed (*has pretty new Samsung Gravity and Sansa Fuse*). :3

My laptop just got worse. >.< Seriously. Now, NOTHING makes the screen stay still or even showing a picture. It's unusable, unless you have heavy patience and the ability to type/play/surf the web with one hand. We took it to Best Buy, and those fools can't fix it 'cause they don't have the tools. They examined it, though, and said it's either a loose connection (which would be a cheaper repair and would give me the thing back in a few weeks) or it's a bad monitor (in which case, we'd just give up and wait for Windows new operating system to come out next year so we can buy a laptop without Vista, which everyone says sucks).
Ahem...

In better news, I bought a 250 GB (which should technically be 232 GB because the system takes up 18 GB on the get-go) external hard drive for $60, which is great, since they're usually priced at $100. I've installed my precious Sims on there, and I play it on my parents' laptop, and I love it, and there's still 220+ gigs left!!! <3

And we get to my OTHER problem.
Well, I decided to start a legacy (here for details: [link]) on my previous laptop. I'm still at the 1st generation, but I love my simmies, and I have stuff planned out! Well, I saved my crap to a thumb drive, and I tried to replace the neighborhoods (maxis made ones). I ended up completely removing them from the game... D:
WHAT THE *&%#?!?!
;~; What did I do wrong? To make things worse, no one on the Sims 2 site has replied to my thing yet! DDDDD: NO!! NICOLAI! SANDY! ANTONIO! ALONZO AND WHAT'S-HER-FACE! (they're twins! )I don't want them to disappear!!! D: Oh, and I can't forget their stupid cat, Valentine (That's a fact. Valentine loves to starve herself before finally eating) and the hyperactive cat Zorro (who hates Valentine and vice-versa, lol).

Errrr.... I'm also excited for the Sims 3, despite the retarded in-game ads (*plots to keep her internet off while playing*) and the 3-free-installation-rule-and-any-other-after-you-must-pay-for (*prepares to take after father and psycho call if I must reinstall 3+ times because of glitches* *evil laughter*).

THAT'S RIGHT FOOLS, NOW LET'S GET OUR PARTY ON!! *pumps up music and rocks out*

PS: love the drum set on Rock Band! ;D I'm also partial to the singing..... *sings Livin' On A Prayer and screams*

Hyper? Me?...... Maybe. Don't know. My head hurts when I head bang. D:

Right now, my laptop screen is fading away. I'm typing blind, because I don't want to type with one hand. If I want to SEE what I'm doing, then I have to hold the laptop screen with one hand and do everything else with the other. Uh, I'm not gonna do that. I'll type blind and edit later.
So yeah, my laptop is crap, and let me tell you, this makes it very hard (not to mention frustrating) to play sims or do anything else.

Of course, not only is my laptop acting up, but so is my MP3 and phone. They're a few years old, I'll admit. My phone i a nokia 6133. In other words, it has this really neat button that you can press to open it. Of course, everyone loves the button. People LOVE to play with it, and I haven't actually had any problems with it until earlier this year. I'm guessing that all the button pressing is the cause. The screw next to the button came loose, so every once in a while, the phone will say "sim card not inserted" because the screw gets looser and looser. I have to screw it back occasionally, but it keeps coming out. On top of that, my phone will randomly freeze up or say "PHONE RESTRICTED", and the only way to fix that is to turn it on and off. I really want to throw that piece of crap on the ground (just like my laptop).

And then there's my MP3. It's a Creative Zen Microphoto, and I love it. Well, kinda. I think I dropped it one too many times, because no matter what headphone I put in, the right one won't work. usually, I'll have to push sideways on the jack to get it to play, and set it JUST RIGHT. If I don't, then the sound in the right headphone will gradually fade away, and I'll have to push again. VERY annoying during car trips or while running.

And then, a slightly related rant, when I get angry, I cry. And I hate the fact that I cry when I get angry, so I get angry at myself for crying, which just makes me cry harder. And that is no fun, because then people think it's hilarious when you're trying to make a point, since your bawling your eyes out, and they don't take your arguments seriously because you're getting so "sensitive" about it. GAH!!!! Either that, or they tell you to stop crying, which makes me want to scream out that I'm not depressed, I'm just SO CRAPPING ANGRY!

*deep breath*

I think I'm okay now. I'm going to attempt to play sims. If that doesn't work, then I'll just go and write the ending to Power Within or read. I'm so happy those don't take crappy electronics to work.

I did get it cut, so it is much shorter, but not that short. Those are some song lyrics. I put them in because they say WOO-HOO (again, not the Sim kind).
Anyway, the reason I am Wo... shouting my happiness is because I finished NaNoWriMo. Not the story, just the 50k. xD I got lazy in the last week, okay? And I'm happy.
The story is Trust Deceit. I will not post an excerpt. Instead, I'm going to get a vanity copy (YAY FOR VANITY!), which I will then lend to friends during the standardized testing. And then people will see my name and freak out (okay, not really; at least, I hope not).
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SIMS 3 TO COME OUT!

I think it looks pretty awesome myself. I think I'll make my first sim an Evil genius... what should his/her roommate be like?

Well, let's see... News updates!
~Tennis districts are THIS WEEK! THURSDAY! WHOA! WE'RE TOTALLY GOING TO GET OWNED!
~ NANOWRIMO IS IN JUST OVER A WEEK, AND I FORGOT, AND I AM GOING TO JUMP IN AND DO A RANDOM THING WITH BARELY ANY PLOT, HUZZAH!
~ I had a diet pepsi max. No fat or calories, but 69 mg of caffeine AND ginseng, the stuff in energy drinks. YAY HYPER!
~I was going to look something up on wikipedia, but I forgot. ;~;
~I went on a writing spree this weekend. I spent loads of time on the computer, typing things up, and I finally started my one story! This is one I want to get published, but I might put up little snippets. Hrmmm... Yeah, I have tons of pages on word with the lovely thing called CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT! I love using my imagination. THINGS FLOW! Oh, by the way, I've planned it out to be 3 or 4 books long. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! It has nine planets and lots of main characters.

I had lots more to add, but I can't remember. Rawr. I'm going to get off this now.
~~
SO I had this AMAZING dream last night. One of the best in a long time. Not only that, but it got me thinking... By the way, I'm sort of filling in the parts, so it makes more sense.
There were two boys. Just random people. I can't remember their faces. One was good. The other worked for the villain, but was "friends" with the good one under the villain's orders. I don't know why.
The dream took place in a large library. It's an old library, and no one goes into the back, since the door is locked. One day, while the boys are there, the earth starts shaking. They run for the exit; the good boy makes it, but the bridge connecting the library to land breaks, and the other can't. We both know that it was the villain who did this, and this is a sign that he must go further into the library.
Everything goes dark all of a sudden. The library is deserted. It's creeping me out, though I'm not actually in the dream. The boy walks slowly back to the locked door, and it opens before him. He walks in.
The back is a large room, with a circle on the floor. Around the circle are pictures of people that represent the seven deadly sins (Gluttony, Lust, Pride). Though they aren't labeled, the boy (who I seem to be at this point) can tell who they are. The villain, a man who lives in the back of library, comes and gives him a black orb.
At this point, I can't remember what happens. However, the boy is once more going into the back of the room. For some reason, things have changed. The room looks the same, but the circle has additional faces; the villain is no longer a villain, but an old man who lives in the library, unknown to others. Anyway, the boy stands in the middle of the circle and takes out an orb, and a yeti (one of the newer pictures) comes out from the orb. Though I can't remember his exact words, he said something along the lines of you are the Guardian. To protect the world, you are to place the orb in the stand. Then you will forever watch and protect our world.
And the boy said What would you do?
We would be free from our guardian roles.
Then No. I don't want to be stuck here forever while you're free. I want to go out and do my own things. I refuse to be stuck here.
The yeti said Then the world will suffer.
The boy said I don't care. I want to live my own life.
The yeti faded into the circle, and the boy went to the back where the old man was. He spent the night there during a storm, and the next day, left the library into sunshine to do his own thing.

That made me think. What if the world depended on someone, but they didn't save it?

I found a new manga called Project ARMS! It's wonderful. It doesn't replace FMA, but it's really nifty, in my opinion. It's kind of depressing though, and it's rated OT (older teen). It's all about conspiracy... >-> I'm seeing a theme... FMA is also about a gigantic conspiracy, now this, and Naruto too (later on, though). I think every manga/book I read has conspiracy as one major plot point. What can I say, they're awesome.

Yeah, don't know if you've heard of it yet, but the 4th book in the Twilight "Saga" was an epic failure. I can't even list all that's wrong with the book. Oh, wait! I don't have to!

[link]

Someone went through the tiresome task of writing a petition over Breaking Dawn. Yeah, it's an internet petition, so it's not worth much. But hey, I'm sure Smeyer will see it eventually!
Anyway, after they reached 1000 signatures, they sent it to Smeyer's brother Seth, asking him to pass it on to Stephenie herself (who runs her official website). Would you believe it, he actually stooped down to respond to us mere mortals! His response is here.

[link]

What an arrogant *insert profanity-of-choice here*. My favorite part is this
"You say that you are not looking to hurt her, but it would be ignorant to believe that criticism of any kind does not hurt the person to whom it is directed."
No duh, give the guy a medal! He managed to figure out criticism hurt! My response to this is, grow up and take it. The proper response to HELPFUL CRITICISM is NOT crying, whining, hiding behind fans, or saying, "They don't understand the bond shared between them." NO! You say, "Thanks!" And you try to IMPROVE from it.
I'm half her age, and I take criticism better than her. Tells you something, don't it?

Oh, and lol, this is just to spread the unprofessional letter around. Sorry for Journal spam!

In other news, Tropical Storm Fay reminds me of Fay from Tsubasa Chronicles.

When I was quite young, my Great-Grandfather passed away. He had built the house that he had died in by himself, for my Great-Grandmother. A few years ago, she also passed away. The house was sold.

However, it took a long time to sell. We didn't find out why until just now.

Apparently, when the first real estate agent went in to tour the house, she ran out screaming about a ghost. They had to mark that on the papers as a "con" of the house.

The house is sold now, and the family are living happily. The ghost is a nice ghost, which is to be expected of my great-grandpa. They say that they sometimes see him sitting in the living room, or in the back room. They say he's friendly, and the current owners think it's cool. The people say the ghost looks just like my great grandpa. He's haunting the house he built for his wife.

We only just found out because a reporter has been calling some family members that live around the area (Hot Springs, AR is where they lived; a lot of my family members live about an hour away). Some family, like my Great Aunt, are getting upset because it reminds them of their deaths.

I think it's cool, but I'm a bit sad too. I don't know why. I've never actually been sure of the existence of ghosts. I've always suspected, but it took until being told that MY GREAT GRANDPA is one that actually convinced me.

Now I want to go visit him again. I can't remember his face. :C I want to remember it.

RULES:
1. Put Your iTunes, Windows Media Player, ETC on Shuffle.
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS.
4. Put any comments in brackets after the song name.
5. Put this on your journal.

1. If someone says, "Is this okay?" You say?
“Dance, Dance” Fall Out Boy
(Lol, wut? I guess it’s okay, so long as we all DANCE AND GET OUR FUNK ON! 8D)

2. How would you describe yourself?
“When they Came for Us” Shiny Toy Guns
(Geez, that sounds like I’m mentally unstable, with the whole ‘us’, like they’re gonna take me to the Happy Hotel... And the song mentions and reminds me of robots... So I’m a robot? o-O)

3. What do you like in a boy?
“Build God, then We’ll Talk” Panic! At the Disco
(I laughed when I saw this title, partially out of relief. I was afraid I’d get something like Killer Likes Candy, or a song similar to that. I guess it means I want someone who ISN’T a hypocrite, respects/practices my religion, and is faithful/doesn’t cheat. xP)

4. How do you feel today?
“Ready Steady Go” L'Arc~en~Ciel [YAY J-Rock/FMA]
(Lol, it means what it says. I’M READY TO GO, and nothing will get in my way. I’m motivated, I guess. :3 It fits. I’m satisfied.)

5. What is your life's purpose?
“Undo” COOL JOKE [LOL, more FMA/J-Rock? o-O]
(To undo anything bad I’ve done. Basically correct all past and future mistakes. To find out what I want and what I believe. Sorry, I went a bit deep there. I’m reading the translation, and I don’t really know what else to put.)

(OH GAWSH, AWKWARD SONG! xD Hmmm...I sing pretty? I don’t like letting go of my friends, so I’m loyal? Geez, I hate question like these. The song doesn’t help any.)

8. What do you think of your parents?
”This Celluloid Dream” AFI
(Geez, another complicated song. I guess I feel that I can’t compare to my parent’s expectations sometimes. And I’m getting this from only a few verses.)

9. What do you think about very often?
“Act II: Where are You?” From Monty Python’s Spamalot
(OH MY GOSH, WHY FROM THIS MUSICAL?! xDDDD I wonder where my one true love is, and I know they will come someday. Oh, and people don't want me to sing about it.)

10. What is 2 + 2?
“The End.” My Chemical Romance
(The end of humanity, duh xP)

11. What do you think of your best friend?
“The Great Disappointment” AFI

“New Born” Muse [Yay Muse!]
(In relation to the lyrics, I’m afraid that if I don’t speak up about my feelings, my chance with him will be wasted.)

13. What is your life story?
“D-TechnoLife” UVERworld [Wtc, Bleach/more J-Rock? 400+ songs on my MP3, and 3 are J-Rock?]

14. What do you want to be when you grow up?
“Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn’t Get Sued” Fall Out Boy
(Either a lawyer, someone who teeters on the edge of copyright infringement, or an extremely fabulous liar [Hence the chorus]. Better yet, all three! ;D)

15. What do you think of when you see the person you like?
“With Me Tonight” The Used
(xDD OH GAWSH, THAT SOUNDS REAL BAD *dirty mind* I want him, but will he stay with me [today], with me [today]? I gotta prove he can trust me. 8D *Direct lines from the song*)

16. What will you dance to at your wedding?
“The End of a Fraud” Armor for Sleep
(Oh dear, this doesn’t sound like a very good wedding song o-O)

17. What will they play at your funeral?
“In Between” Linkin Park
(I’m apologizing to all my living friends for saying one thing, then doing another, for flip-flopping on issues, and stuff like that xP)

18. What is your hobby/interest?
“Basket Case” Green Day
(xD Cracking up/Going insane and being paranoid, of course. See answer 2.)

Yayness. No blood. La de da dum duh.
The manga is like that too. I'll admit, it was beginning to get boring, but it made me chuckle. I've noticed: There's always a point in a manga/anime where everything changes. In Bleach, it's when Rukia is taken to Soul Society. No more hunting Hollows for the heck of it. Now we have plot! Same with Naruto; the "good ol' days" were over once Sasuke got the curse seal. You're happy there's a plot, but depressed that the good ol' days are over.
The same happened with the Tsubasa Chronicles. Travelling to different worlds, getting the feathers. Then WHAM! Shayoran isn't Shayoran, Shayoran clone is Shayoran, eye eating (I am serious here), arm breaking, tons of blood (especially compared to before), vampires. Then, we get to go to a semi-gothic world (lots of black, locks, vampires, and the mafia). The saddest part, is the love between Shayoran and Sakura is gone. I'm so upset, because there's so much awkwardness between them. He's Shayoran, but not. It's depressing. Tsubasa has reached that point.
And I had to type this out because I need to get out my feelings. D:

In Other news, walking palm trees have been discovered along the coast of South Africa. Due to lack of food, they have resorted to cannibalism. They attack humans only if provoked, or if you have a lemon. You have been warned

So I tried going to sleep at 5:30, but ended up waking up at 7:30. Well, I wasn't tired anymore, so I went and watched Tsubasa until 10, and then tried falling asleep. At 11, I realized I couldn't fall asleep, so I decided to start plotting out the Naruto fanfic that was plaguing my mind. It's overdone, and a bit cliche, but I'm going to HAVE to write it. It's a Naruto-HP crossover... *headdesk*
Here's the book list of what I read.

Pendragon Book 1: Merchant of Death
Time: 12AM-5:58AM
374 Pages
Favotire quote: "The bottom line is that I made the right decision. So maybe it's okay to think like a weenie sometimes, so long as you don't act like one. There's a grand philosophy in there someplace. I'll leave it up to you guys to figure it out." -Bobby Pendragon

Pendragon Book 2: Lost City of Faar
Time: 6AM-12:56PM
384 pages
Favorite Quote: "I had to call upon all my Traveler experience and special powers to figure it out. It's called...'Eenie, meenie, miney...mo!'" -Bobby Pendragon
"If in doubt, eenie, meenie, miney, mo. I'm partial to mo." -Bobby Pendragon

Pendragon Book 4: The Reality Bug (They didn't have the third, one of my faves, at the library...)
Time: 1:15PM-8:04PM
376 pages
Favorite Quote:Aja: Is Loor a man's name, or a Woman's name?
Bobby: ouch
Loor: It is the name of a legendary woman on Zadaa. A woman.
Aja: Really? What did she do that was so heroic?
Loor: She killed her enemies and ate them.

Pendragon Book 5: Black Water
Time: 8:15PM-12AM
223/427 Pages.
Quote: None. I haven't finished reading it yet.

Notice a pattern among my books? That thing was terrible! I got extremely sleepy at 8 AM, which is why it took me nearly 8 hours to read the book, but afterwards it was okay unless I blinked for too long. Until 10PM, when I began looking at the clock every 5 minutes wanting to sleep. I had to force myself to get lost in the book...Which I did.

There, I played Rock Band for the first time. I was usually the singer, but I did the drums once or twice. I like it better than Guitar Hero. There's so much more. Plus, Hysteria by Muse is in RB, and Muse ROCKS. That was fun to sing/drum. Also at my cousins, I got sunburned on my legs and shoulders, since we went out on their boat to go wakeboarding and swimming. It hurt, but not anymore.
Power Within is coming along nicely. I'm nearly finished with the writing.
Also, I'm planning to do my 24 hour reading thing this week. We're going to the library Wednesday, and I'm going to check out all the Pendragon books I don't own, read those, and write down fabulous quotes to remember after waking up at midnight, and going until midnight the next day. Wish me luck for that.
OKAY, I'M GOING TO EAT LUNCH NOW, KTNXBAI!
P.S. My current favorite band is Muse. If you haven't listened to them yet, do so now. Some great songs are Butterflies and Hurricanes, Stolkholm Syndrome, New Born, Hysteria, Supermassive Blackhole, Apocalypse Please, Exopolitics, and City of Delusion. Look those up on Youtube. Wonderful songs.
Oh, and I got the first Ouendan. It has one of the FMA themes on it. That song is the last song you get. I played it for the first time on the hardest level (INSANE!), and got an S, the best rating you can get. It made me happy.

First, Four other people and I met at the movie theater. Then we went and disturbed people by looking at our cells during the movie and talking watched Indiana Jones. It was pretty gnarly. I recommend it.
Afterwards, back to my house for cake and ice cream and present opening. I got sceneit, P!ATD CD, a stuffed bear in a bunny costume/lollipop, and money. yayz.
Then we went outside. And played Red Rover. They kept calling for me, though they called someone else sometimes. Is it 'cause I'm small?
Then we went inside and played Worst Case Scenario Board Game, but that got boring, so we stopped that and play ImaginIf, the BEST BOARD GAME IN THE HISTORY OF MAN!! You write the names of all the players and other people everyone knows until you have 8 names written in dry erase marker on the board. Then, you draw cards that say things like, "ImaginIf ----- was a weapon. What would they be?" and it has 6 choices. Every secretly picks their choice, and they reveal it. The people that picked the most popular choice move one space. It's hilarious.
After that, we got hold of the cell of the only male present at the party. And we began prank texting another dude. The texting was very naughty, yet hilarious. I think we scared him, until someone else and I texted him saying it really wasn't the guy. He thought it was funny too.
By then it was 11 PM, and I was tired for some reason, so my dad and I drovethe last person home (she's in the same neighborhood as me) and I read and went to sleep. Yay.
THE END!

FORGET ALMOST FINISHED, I FINISHED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *is very happy*
I thought getting further would answer my questions, but it only made it more confusing. Joshua? Grim Heaper? Mr. H? Beat? Rhyme? OMGWTCBBQ!!!... I discovered I have to go back and collect more stuff using the brand new "Chapters" menu. If I do, I unlock backstories for the Days, plus an extra story?! Interesting... *vows to do this*
I am adoring the new "skip through cutscene by holding R or L" power. xDDD It amuses me to see all the dialouge flash past at SUPER SPEED!!!

I have nearly completed all songs on all difficulties on Ouendan. 8D I just have to wait to get it back from my friend, then yay for the frighteningly addicting game. I sit there, saying, "Just once more..." for a couple hours before I actually stop. I kid you not.

Ohhhhhh, Ninth Pendragon comes out in 2 days and 1 hour!!!!!!! GAH!!! Stupid Hastings has to close!!! I hope Target stocks it. I know they have some of the others in their pitifully small book section.

My parents and I were talking about how close summer was, in less than 9 days. I told my parents that it would be 1 day shorter for me, as long as I kept my geometry grade above 85. My dad said, "I hope so." in that serious voice he gets when lecturing us. TT.TT Why are my parents so strict grade-wise? I thought that was only with Asians... That is why I am happy our school does not require us to sign and return report cards. I conveniantly forget I have them, so I don't have to hear them lecturing me about not getting straight A's.

AND OHMYGOODNESS, SUMMER IS SO CLOSE!!! AND THEN AFTER SUMMER STARTS, MY BIRTHDAY COMES!!! 2 BIRDS WITH ONE STONE!!!! HUZZAH!!!

Hah. And I found out how to put my music in the Sims 2. So now my simmies can dance to MCR, and annoy to me no end when they break/turn off the radio. Currently my music is all found on the Jazz station, for some...weird...reason... o-o
...
TOO ZETTA SLOW!!!
The Grim Heaper is annoying, yet awesome. 83 Such a dork for using math terms in place of curse words though. Lol, it made me laugh when he said, "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally!" Beat's complete ADHD makes me laugh as well. *has completely changed topics for no reason*

I have two current obsession as of today.

The World Ends With You: This game is pwnage. I <3 Neku, the main character. He's so emo, LOLOLOLOL!! I totally lurve how people call him "Phones", and how he kept calling Shiki "Stalker" throughout almost the entire first part. And how he answered his phone that one time, "Hey. Dead Kid speaking." I THINK I'm halfway through the game... I got to one part where it was "supposed" to end, though I knew it wouldn't (It was too short). At the moment, Neku met Joshua, and there was lots of FLASHBACK FUN!!! 8D Plus the music is coolio. I love the expressions, how how Neku touches his pointy hair. The Game Master at this part is completely dorky... D: seriously, "x-30+74. t=60 min" And THAT was the first challenge... As a side note, Shiki is sheer awesomeness. I love Mr. Mew the "piggy", as Neku calls it. Beat is also cool, but he HAD to go... And Rhyme was cool/cute, but...

Full Metal Alchemist: <3333333 My top favorite characters are Edward, Roy, Envy and Ling. I love the manga because it's hilarious while action-y at the same time, though it's not pointless fighting--it actually has a pretty awesome plot. The faces/poses make me laugh. I like Ed because he's short, he attacks people that points this out, and with his robot arm and leg, he's awesome. Roy, because he pretends to be a playa when he's really gathering information, and Ling because he's Asian and he "faints"/eats a lot. Not to mention Envy because he's a bad guy and he calls Ed short. I'm just starting the anime, but it's different from the manga. Still violent/bloody though.

OMG, I WAS ABOUT TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK BECAUSE MY COMPUTER WENT BACK TO THE MAIN PAGE AND I THOUGHT ALL THIS HAD BEEN ERASED!!! But it didn't, so happy times.

Oh my goodess, Percy Jackson comes out in TWO DAYS!!!

Heh. FUn random tidbit. I thought Ed's voice in the Japanese FMA sounded familiar... He is done by the same person who voices Toshiro Hitsugaya from Bleach, Temari from Naruto, and Ken from the 2nd Digimon adventure. Note that this is the JAPANESE version. The ENGLISH Ed also does the voice of Ikkaku from English Bleach. Yayz for Wikipedia. They both does voices from the animated Devil May Cry, among dozens of others...

Ken: I... don’t know. One second we’re with Jack, the next we’re here...
Tylith: Who are you! Answer me!
Jri: Tylith?
Tylith: Jri?! Are you here? Are you hurt?
Jri: No, I’m fine. But what about you? What happened?
Kite: Hold up! Who are you two? Jri and Tylith?
Ken: I’m Ken. She’s Kite.
B: Instead of talking amongst ourselves, wouldn’t the wiser thing be to examine our surroundings?
Tylith and Kite: Who’s there?!
Jri: Huh?
Ken: --gasp--You!!
B: Yes Ken, it’s me. I’m sure we’ll have a more pleasant talk after we get out of this place. Let’s see.... It’s quite dark in here, don’t you think? Shall I get out a match?
Kite: Don’t bother, I have a cell phone. –opens cell—
Tylith: MAGIC?!
Kite: Uh...Technology...
B: Never mind what it is. Let’s see...Damp stone walls...Unlit torches... Rickety wooden chairs that we seem to be sitting in...
Jri: This looks a lot like the place we just left....
Tylith: I agree.
Faded: Welcome. I am the one who brought you here. You may call me Faded.
Tylith: Witch! Why did you bring us here?!
Ken: Who are you anyway?
Faded: I’m just interested to learn more about you, and in a way, learn more about myself. Don’t worry—after this, you will be returned to your former lives at the exact moment you left. Only you will know that you disappeared.
B: Fine. Ask questions, I will cooperate.
Kite: Why do you even care? Just get us back!
Faded: Look, answer the questions and you’ll get back sooner. Deal?
K&K: Deal!
Jri: ...Yes.
Tylith: I don’t like it, but fine.

Faded: Splendid. First question: are you a boy or girl?
Tylith: I am a man, born for his country.
Jri: Man
Ken: Guy
Kite: Girl, duh.
B: I do believe that I am male.

Faded: How Old Are You?
Tylith: Many moon cycles have passed since I’ve considered this, but I’m about 21.
Jri: It’s a bit hard to remember... 20, I think.
Ken: 16
Kite: 15
B: --chuckle-- Silly girl. As powerful as you may be, I don’t reveal things like that. I’m older than anyone here, however.

Faded: Fair enough. How tall are you?
Ken: 6 feet.
Kite: 5’3”
Tylith: I’m tall for my age. Well built too flexes muscles
Jri: --sighs at Tylith-- I’m a bit short. Taller than Ken, shorter than Tylith.
B: I’m am also tall. Willowly, if you wish.

Faded: You guys are quite vague. Any bad habits?
Ken: I mess around with my necklace a lot when nervous for some reason...
Kite: I get angry easily. And when I’m angry, I accidentally make it snow. But that’s only if I lose control.
Tylith: I always pace about. If I can’t pace, I have to tap my foot. At least one part of my body must be moving at all times.
Jri: I fiddle with my crutch a lot. When it’s pretty much a permanent part of you, it’s hard not to.
B: A bad habit would be getting overconfident in my abilities or under-confident of my opponents. That problem has confronted me many times before.

Faded: Are you a virgin?
Ken: ...Yeah...
Kite: Duh.
Tylith: --nervous laugh-- What if I wasn’t?
Jri: Yes. I never fell in love.
B: --chuckle-- Perhaps not... You are quite nosy.

Faded: I’m just saying what I’ve been told to. Who's your Mate/Spouse?
Ken: No one.
Kite: Nobody.
Jri: Well... I always thought Ava was beautiful. But I haven’t seen her for years...
Tylith: You never told me about a girl called Ava. I myself have seen many beautiful women in my years. None have been long relationships though. I don’t have time for that.
B: I used to have one. Sadly, she ran off after a.... disagreement we had. I’m still quite angry at her. She took something important to me. --Glares--

Faded: Interesting there, Jri... I vaguely remember that. Same with you B. Favorite Food?
Ken: Spaghetti.
Kite: Cold Pizza.
Tylith: Ah... Roasted chicken with lemon juice coated over it.
Jri: I don’t really have a favorite food. I guess fresh baked bread is always delicious.
B: I myself prefer Macaroni and Cheese. But one must keep up with appearances, so I mostly eat lavish meals in front of my employees.

Faded: Never expected THAT B. Favorite Ice Cream flavor?
Ken: Chocolate
Kite: Birthday Cake.
Jri: I’ve never had cream at all.
Tylith: There is such thing as frozen cream?
B: Cappuccino.

Faded: Have you ever Killed anyone?
Ken: No...
Kite: Maybe... It was accidental!
Jri: Yes. What do you expect?
Tylith: I’ve killed many people. There is no room for mercy in my life.
B: They’ve been aimed towards my final goal. They did not die in futility.

Faded: Hate anyone?
Ken: Not really. You, I g... ]]> ~Fadedmemory31 http://Fadedmemory31.deviantart.com/journal/17688122/ http://Fadedmemory31.deviantart.com/journal/17688122/ Fri, 04 Apr 2008 18:25:58 PDT
By the way, Crisis Core totally rocks. Zack is awesome!!!

]]> ~Fadedmemory31 http://Fadedmemory31.deviantart.com/journal/17498613/ http://Fadedmemory31.deviantart.com/journal/17498613/ Mon, 24 Mar 2008 19:00:37 PDT [link] - Rated T for violence, slight language, and some blood. :3 It's a modern fantasy, if you're wondering. So that means CELL PHONES, and COMPUTERS, and SCHOOL, and ICE CREAM, and I'm planning on having a gun later!

Okay. The above chapter of a story is written by me (and editted by Zen). I already have 100+ pages written by hand. The second chapter is already typed up, but lazy little me needs to edit it once more and post it up. AREN'T I IMPRESSIVE!?
The problem I reach is the third chapter...

Originally, I had it written out where he's about to be dissected alive (thank a fan fiction where the main character was pretty much cut open. I'm pretty gruesome, in a way)!! However....I have no idea why. I'm still trying to discover the plot while I write, but everything else is mostly learning more about the "real" world, and about some characters past. And, what else, the mystery behind the parents. But I need a ~real~ plot. I have a dim idea... but that's not the problem (sorry for being side-tracked).
The PROBLEM is that I don't know WHY they'd dissect him. I was thinking perhaps an illness rested in him, but that doesn't sound good. Then I thought perhaps he was special, and that's okay, but HOW is he special, and WHY? Why him? And why would they dissect him for it?

So I'm thinking about rewriting it so something else happens. BUT I STILL NEED TO KNOW WHY HE'S SPECIAL!!
No aliens... I'm thinking it'll either have to be because of his parents, or because of an experiment when he was but a wee newborn babe. Or both.

However, I'm willing to listen to suggestions. So please give them, as many as you want!!

THANKS!

Becnhmarks = Boredom. My Sophomore brother had the same science TAKS as the 9th graders. Lam0rs.

I got Super smash brothers BRAWL!! It's fun. *hides in the closet* And I got it with my own money!

The SasukeVSItachi fight (in the manga) is finally over *knocks on wood*. Now hopefully the loser won't pop up with another of the numerous "Trump card" moves. If anything, Naruto will burst in with Tobi. *wishes*

I'm the only one in my family that can flare my nostrils.

I'm having a brain fart as of now. But Spring Break is nearly here, thanks goodness!!

~Fadedmemory31 http://Fadedmemory31.deviantart.com/journal/16866252/ http://Fadedmemory31.deviantart.com/journal/16866252/ Wed, 13 Feb 2008 15:28:01 PST So the other day in English, I was sitting with friend A, B, and C (we all sit together, oddly enough). It all started out as an innocent conversation, when suddenly, friend C (who is actually quite skinny) says, "Man, I'm so fat!"
I just closed my eyes in annoyance, ignoring it.
Then friend A said, "No you're not C. I am!"
I tried ignoring it more.
Then friend B spoke up, "Okay guys, as the only real fat person here, I'm really offended."
I snapped (as much as I CAN snap, of course) and said, "Okay, all of you, just shut up. You guys AREN'T FAT!!" Yet they argued, and said stuff like, "Of course Faded would say that. She ISN'T fat."
Truth is, THEY aren't fat either because they're either my size or proportional... >-< If they do that again, I WILL hit them upside the head and tell them to shut up. And I'll get you to help too, Zen.

So tomorrow's Valentine's Day.... Yay? I couldn't really care, either way. If it was gone, I wouldn't care. It's just there, and as my World Geography teacher likes to say, "Overrated. Another Holiday where Hallmark overcharges you." The only thing different about this V-Day than all the others is that I have an all day Tennis tournament! Wooooooow.... I get to leave school at 6 AM to drive an hour or so to sit around 3/4's of the day, bored out of my mind and hungry!

Oh, and I'm working on a new story... again. I've already had the first chapter beta'ed by Zen, and there is a good chance I'll put it up whenever I feel like it.

And another random note: I'm am trying to teach myself Japanese, and I found my nunchucks.

AND I AM STARVING!!!!

Eight random facts about me:

1. I'm more open online than in real life (it's these computer screens, I tell ya!)

2. Whenever I read a story/watch an anime/movie/something that involves a character, I like to see my favorite character get in trouble (kidnapped by enemy, fall into a trap, etc.) I don't know why, it's just interesting.

3. I prefer funny/comical/annoying characters (Natsu from Fairy Tail, Luffy from One Piece, Naruto from Naruto etc) to "Cool, serious, bada**" characters (Sasuke, Ichigo from Bleach, etc). Comical ones are more amusing.

4. I SET (i set) MY SIMS (my sims) ON FIRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!! (no one wil give a care....)

5. If I could have any super power, it would have to be obscure and original. Something like... Making words solid and throwing them at people!

6. Whenever I dream/daydream, I always try to come up with stuff to put in my story. Or I go on adventures with my favorite characters. Or I think up awesome scenarios for the characters.

7. I have a rubiks cube! ^o^

8. I want to learn as many languages as I can before I die.

9. I want to, someday, take my strip of black clothe, tie it around my eyes, and walk down the school hallways to my class like that.

*has no one to tag*

Stupid caffiene/snoring dad.

So I'm at my grandparents in Arkansas, and it's...really not that cold. And I'm sleepy... *snores*
Sorry, sorry, sorry. After opening presents on Christmas, we went to Hot Springs and stayed the night in a hotel there, after visiting with our family members. Then we woke up this morning at eight (I was up from 1-4 walking around the hotel room/trying to get comfy on the bed/couch/floor/couch cushions), had breakfast, hung out, had lunch, then came back to my grandparents, though my mom and dad are still gone.

Anyway, even though this is not all, since I'll be going to my other grandparents, this is what I got:
-Zelda Wii Carrying Case
-Wiimote Crossbow thingy
-Wiimote Charger
-Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn (Wii)
-My Sims (Wii)
-Phantom Hourglass (I played this the majority of the trip, and I just got past that temple of courage)
-Uncut Naruto Box Set 1 and 2
-Reeses
-Candles
-Buddha Board
-Slippers
-A sliced finger from pulling on the plastic on the Buddha Board (it hurts. ;~

Yeah, that's about it.
I hope I get KH2!!

I'm still working on it. I just need to do the ending, and TAH-DAH!!! I'm happy to say, with my need for a sad ending for some reason, I have already killed off 2/5 characters. Perhaps more, though I'm not sure.

I've reached the halfway point! I've got 25,000 words!!!
^-^...And I'm still behind by a day. xP
Story so far:
Aella and Adonis are ordinary kids, when one day Adonis is taken into a world by a mysterious bad dude. Aella and Drew, Adonis's older brother and fantasy geek (like me), try to find him. Meanwhile, Adonis is traveling by boat to some destination in a different world. Both parties discover that Adonis and Aella are people that are able to retrieve Objects of Power, that can be used by good or bad. Aella and Drew finally find out how to get to the other world, but they can't find where the portal is. So one night, they split up: Aella and Fin (her friend) goes down one side alley, while Drew and another guy go down a different.
Of course, the portal appears in the alleyway with Fin and Aella. And Fin, being the idiot he is, enters the portal and appears on the boat with Adonis.
That next morning...Well, actually, I won't say anymore. But my favorite characters so far are Fin and Adonis, and I've added a new character: Lycurgus, or Ly for short. >D He was literally added yesterday, and was once an old man, but is now quite young and flexible...
...
Yeah...

50,000 words in one month (Nov 1-Nov30). About 1667 words a day. Of pure, terrible, crappy writing.
And I've only got to 2000 and I'm already stuck... ;~;
Serious. So, I decided, "Hey, why not have his oldest bro pick on him, which leads to his older bro saving him so he'll dress in a certain halloween costume, which leads to that part!!" Yeah.

Anyway, my NaNo is fairly simple. Two teenagers barely know each other. Strange things happen to them both. Finally, they are taken separatly to a different world. The girl is taken by the good guys, the boy is taken by the bad guys. Yeah, the bad guys couldn't reach the girl in time, though they technically reached her first, so they took the dude instead. Anyway, they're the only ones able to find certain items found in both worlds, so they're the only ones able to "save the worlds". Of course, if the bad side gets them, then they have power. It's basically neutral items of power that anyone can harness for any results.

Geez. Hope I haven't confused you.
The two main characters are called Adonis and Aella.

Buh-Bye!!!

--Shameless advertising: Read the trilogy. It's very funny. :3--
Anyway, ever since finishing the Whim of the Dragon (which was sad to me: a few tears leaked out), I constructed ginormous steal walls around my heart that puts shame to the Great Wall of China. That way, whenever I read a book, I wouldn't cry. It worked for the 6th and 7th Harry Potter: I was saddened by the outcome, yet I didn't outright cry.

However, the witty and sarcastic demon Bartimaeus managed to slip past those walls and make me CRY. I mean, I cried. I was heaving with tears!!
It was partially the ending, and partially the aftermath that saddened me. I would put them here, but it might spoil the ending.
I’m starting to cry right now, and I finished the book last night!!!

Luckily, the book Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo cheered me up. I love the imagery in that book. "That day, cats learned to fly." xD I can't wait for the next book.

I shall now leave you with a quote by Bartimaeus. It's from the third book, and it&'s a bit sad, but it's true. And kind of funny.

“According to some (Generally those who don't have to do it. Politicians and writers spring to mind.), heroic deaths are admirable things. I've never been convinced, mainly because, no matter how cool, stylish, composed, unflappable, manly, or defiant you are, at the end of the day you're also dead." --Bartimaeus, Ptolemy's Gate

On a completely random note, my Halloween costume is a red hooded cape with black fingerless gloves. I'm planning on drawing designs in costume paint on my face and hands. I have no idea WHAT I am, but it strongly reminds me of my wristwatch. :3

So there's this world. It used to be like any other word: sunshiny, with forests, and water, and elves, and cute little deer. But one day, out of the gloom, the evil Lord Douglas, who had been sealed away years ago, rose from his dungeon and put the kingdom under his control. Evil creatures that eat humans roamed the land so it was dangerous to walk outside, especially at night. All males, and males only, are required to go to a school until they're twelve. Then, if they're made of the right stuff, they're drafted into Douglas's army of wizards/soldiers instantly. If you're not, well that sucks for you, because now you have to find another job. Girls, however, stay at home, and if Lord Douglas needs another servant, he sends a group of soldiers into town to round up some females. Yeah, it really stinks.
Riley has lived in the kingdom for all his life. His mother died while young, and his one and only friend was killed by one of the beasts. He didn't make it as a wizard or soldier, so he instead works in the Bar of his father's friend.
That is where his world changes.
A group of Douglas's men had been searching for the son of his neighbor, Derek. Later that night, when 18-year-old Riley finds Derek with a shady group of people and sits down to talk with them, Riley embarks upon a dangerous quest to rid the land of Lord Douglas once and for all.

That is the WORST SUMMARY I'VE EVR WRITTEN!!! >:0 but it works, because that's the gist of it. I've already gotten to the part where Riley meets this shady group of people, but no further. I already have the plot written out and everything, I just need to keep focused. I haven't lost interest in the story, but I need encouragement to write it.

So encouragement is welcome!! And tell me what you think of the story based on the summary!!
