                <description><![CDATA[ I'm sorry I've been away for so long, if anyone still likes my poems and photos that is.  I've pretty much moved over to FurAffinity as - <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.furaffinity.net/user/cxulubcah">[link]</a> - where I am currently working on the chronicles of FinalGamer.<br /><br />Yes that raptor, the one with the crazy game-related stuff in all the commissions.<br />That one.  He's now got stories!  TEH WRITINGZ!  Okay seriously though I've been really storming on them lately so I guess if any of you were curious enough about him you can read them.<br /><br />I'm not really dead here, I just haven't had any ideas of poetry for a long time, I've been more into stories than poems of late.  So uhhh...stay cool DA!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Top 5 Most Disturbing Moments in Kid's Movies<br />
<br />
I am a person who firmly believes that children should not live in a glass bubble of happiness and sunshine, let me say this first.  I applaud and appreciate children's movies that try and instill some fear into you and force you to see an issue face-up.  Of course there are moments we remember, hopefully, as children when we were forced through cinema to deal with a subject.  Sometimes it helped us, such as the Lion King helping kids deal with bereavement much more easily.  Other times, it can be quite scarring.  But that's not the fault of the movie makers, it is the child him or herself that must handle it, almost a growing experience.  Without understanding such things you may well grow up to be quite jaded.  That's my opinion anyway.<br />
So here is my list of top 5 most disturbing moments of children's movies, that personally affected me, in no particular order.<br />
<br />
1 - The Death of Littlefoot's Mother (The Land Before Time)<br />
Now of course we all know the Bambi moment, and in Lion King with Mufasa, but those moments did not strike me as hard as the very first death I saw represented in any way.  Land Before Time is perhaps the only film that makes me break into tears from the very beginning, and this moment is one of the major reasons.  Littlefoot and his friend Cera are being chased by a Sharptooth/T Rex and about to be snapped up when Littlefoot's mother comes right in to kick his ass hard with her tail.  A furious battle happens while the earth below their feet is shifting insanely so due to the unpredictable climate of their era (I think).  The Sharptooth is vanquished, but Littlefoot's mother carries worser wounds.<br />
Now Bambi never saw his mother die.  In fact none of us ever did, it was an offscreen death but one that was still very shocking.<br />
But with Littlefoot, I feel the death is even worse.  His mother is dying slowly, right before his very eyes and ours as well, and what follows after that is a journey of hopelessness, confusion, and sorrow.  Bambi had an easy break by being the Prince of the Forest and having a dad to support him.  But Littlefoot, his grandparents were on the other side of a chasm in the earthquake, and he has no royalty to get comfy with.  So he had to bear the brunt of bereavement on his long neck hard, only supported by a few friends along the way.<br />
It breaks my heart every time when he sees a shadow of himself and thinks it's his mother, before he licks the rock wall it was on and his face turn from surprised joy, to utter crushing depression.<br />
You can't get any more heartbreaking than this.  Well, admittedly Simba got exiled and even blamed for his dad's death so I guess you can.  But not to me.<br />
<br />
2 - Bigwig Ensnared (Watership Down)<br />
Watership Down is one of those films that scarred an entire generation, and glad it did too, in my opinion.  It was a film that at first people thought was about a bunch of rabbits finding a sanctuary, and it is.  But it's more than that.  It is a film about their spirituality, life and death to a rabbit as a descendant of El-Ahrairha (their master, according to their folklore) and awaiting the day when the Black Rabbit of Inle shall come to claim them as part of his warren in rabbit heaven...or wherever rabbits go after death.  Several moments in the film are incredibly blunt about death, but the most disturbingly graphic scene is when Bigwig is caught in a snare and is literally choking to death.  At first it's a harsh choking, but then you start seeing blood seep from his nose and mouth until he has a red bib of blood on his front.  It just hits you with it, hard.  But hey that's what happens to rabbits in real life, so it's almost educational on the frailty of life.<br />
God knows what would have happened if the makers of this film did Bambi.  Probably have had the mother bleeding from the neck of an enormous shotgun wound.<br />
<br />
3 - "Worthless" (The Brave Little Toaster)<br />
While several moments of this underrated film stick in my head, such as the lonely flower or Toaster's nightmare of the clown, one particular part stuck out to me the most.  Near the end of the film, Toaster and his friends find themselves in a scrap yard where of course all old appliances and vehicles are made into....scrap.  The song that plays, sung by the cars before their doom and is based on a song by a country-western Supergroup involving Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson and another guy I can't remember, is both catchy and startlingly morbid when you wrap your head around it.  A race car is retired and at the end of his race, a family car became too small for its family, and lastly, the car with horns who says she took a Texan to his wedding, and then the car after her took a man to his funeral.<br />
Although the film has been known to be scary to kids involving dissection of a machine and nightmares, the "Worthless" s... ]]></description>

<br />
Nothing else happening for me, other than trying to find a job and still playing games.  I recently got the second Phoenix Wright and greatly enjoying it aplenty, so hopefully it sells well enough to convince Capcom to translate the third one for next year.<br />
I also am putting up some time on the PSP with Metal Slug Anthology.  MAN it is hard but that is to be expected from an arcade game.  Smashing music in it though.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm not quite dead.  I'm getting better, honest!<br />
<br />
Pythonesia aside, I have just become quite disassociated with DeviantART, hence why I have not replied to new deviations for a LONG time.  Right now I have 1202 deviations to look at...and I am sorry I haven't been looking at them.  I can't say that I'll be back here really, other than putting poems in and photos and even essays.<br />
<br />
I am still around though, so no worries!  I am also on the more active FurAffinity under the name cxulubcah.  So look out for me there with my more "adult" content <<.<br />
<br />
Just to let you all know.  Have fun everyone! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, :userhideyoshi: had this in his journal, so why not?<br />
<br />
----------------------------<br />
<br />
1.  I am a triskadekaphile (someone fascinated by the number 13) and I sometimes plan around it.  One example is always taking seat 13 at the cinema.<br />
<br />
2.  Following this, I was born on the 13th on the 31st minute of the hour.  31 = 13....spookeh.<br />
<br />
3.  I have an astonishing memory for comedy and with one line from someone, I can practically recreate an entire sketch or joke.  I did this frequently with my sister (we were the comedy duo of the house).<br />
<br />
4.  While eclectic with musical tastes (as in, liking all styles of music) I especially love videogame music in all its forms, and listen to it every day.  I consider myself to be quite a knowledgeable person of game musicians.<br />
<br />
5.  When I was 5, I was the only one to get mumps during a chickenpox outbreak.  Following that, I was the only one to get chickenpox on the INSIDE of my body during the mumps outbreak.<br />
<br />
6.  I am VERY good at resisting hunger to the point of fainting.<br />
<br />
7.  My favourite actress is Sigourney Weaver.<br />
<br />
8.  I will cry if either watching the first Land Before Time or Mickey's Christmas Carol.<br />
<br />
9.  When meeting people in real life, I am very shy and insecure and distrustfully cold.  Online, the physical barrier is gone and it is far easier to be friends with those online.<br />
<br />
10.  I have a pro-racist tendency to like other people only for being foreign.  But in recent years, this has gone down and it now bases itself on personality.<br />
<br />
11.  I am fascinated with time travel.  Most things to do with time travel I will like a lot more, especially if they deal with parallel universes.<br />
<br />
12.  I envy artists for their drawing talent.<br />
<br />
13.  I am a cartoon fanatic.<br />
<br />
14.  I am obsessed with useless trivia.  Just anything unusual or useless but nevertheless amazingly interesting.  Take one example:  Hitler's great grandmother was a Jewish maid.<br />
<br />
15.  I am a fanboi of FFVII, Sephiroth and Kingdom Hearts, but I have stronger control over it.  Except the upcoming Kingdom hearts 2, that puts me in a ZOMG frenzy.<br />
<br />
16.  I hate real life pornography.  Drawn art is fine due to its fantastical separation, but real life is usually so...cliche and makes the people involved come off as being....like whores.  Sorry for the offending term.<br />
<br />
17.  I apologise quite a lot.<br />
<br />
18.  Contradicting fact number 16, I am very lustful in thoughts and unconsciously think up many strange scenarios involving....well, anyone really.<br />
Except celebrities.  They're too unreal.<br />
<br />
19.  I consider TETRIS as the greatest game of all existence, despite it not being my most favourite game of all.  Because it is so simple, amazingly addictive and playable for anyone with at least two hands and one eye, it is immortal.<br />
Probably the only videogame to live forever.<br />
<br />
20.  The first videogame I ever played was DuckTales on the NES in 1991, when I was 4.  Still loving the old skool for 14 years. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My connection has become unstable of late and seems to grow and weaken in its power.<br />
<br />
two days ago it said it couldn't connect to the network.  Then it was fine.<br />
Yesterday the DSL line could not hold, but now it's fine.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow I'm gonna try and fix it, but I warn you now that if am absent from the net for a long time or so, you know what's wrong.<br />
<br />
Have a good day everyone.<br />

<br />
It links to my Yiffstar stories so you have been warned, minors.  I am proud of my stories there and it will be a very important place to me always.<br />

Anyway, I must sleep now, I've become tired and I want to sleep. ]]></description>

<br />
And other news, my modem seems to have corrected itself out.  I guess it just needed a long adapting time, it hasn't crashed in a long time and it's downloading faster than before, like 30kb/s.  I am thankful it's got better now.<br />
<br />
Other news, I bought Father of the Pride on DVD, waiting for the sequel to The Suffering at the end of this month (figures it would come out near Halloween) and of course, the game that inspired the above poem I have LOVED.  Old one from 1992 for the Sega Genesis.  Mickey's World of Illusion (not CASTLE of Illusion, different game).<br />
Played the old game about five times.  I am so old-skool.<br />
<br />
Well, that's all now.  Oh I forgot how old the old journal entry was so if I hadn't mentioned before, my boyfriend has recovered from his surgery (YAY) and he is now planning to come live with me in the UK as the USA is getting way too stressful for him.<br />
So now I have to find a job and place for him to stay, as I know my parents won't let him live here (understandable, we had bad experience with lodgers before).<br />
I got money raised for both of us as well so *thumbs up* wish us luck, more luck to him though. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I haven't updated in a little while so let me give you a SitRef.<br />
<br />
It was my birthday on August 13th and I am now 18 years old.  Wow.....I don't feel it even though I should.<br />
<br />
It's been a good few days with its usual luggage of bad things like most days.<br />
<br />
Bad:<br />
My bf David is having some bad problems with his days and needing a surgery in September (for reasons I will not state for his sake).<br />
One of his ex-boyfriends, also a good friend of mine, has been in quite a strange set of moods and I'm trying to help him as much as I can.  He's a good guy with a bad plate in life.<br />
And I think tension is rising with me and my father.<br />
Also, my modem is being a buggy bugger and I HAVE to get this thing replaced tomorrow.<br />
<br />
GOOD:<br />
A friend of mine explained how Silent Hill worked, at last, it's all SO CLEAR!<br />
<a href="http://xuchilbara.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/x/u/xuchilbara.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="xuchilbara" /></a> made me an awesome birthday gift, free of charge and I didn't even ask (although she hinted it and I was secretly hoping she'd make one) and I absolutely love it to bits!  Thanks Xuchilbara!!!<br />
I finally finished Killer7 and I don't think it has replay value.  But it was a damn interesting plot that gripped me as long as the game.<br />
<br />
Yeah, that seems to be it.  have a good day, y'all.<br />
<br />
OH, and I'm also practising my haikus.  I couldn't believe it, but I'm warming up to them now.  They're actually pretty easy since you just fit words into a rhythm of syllables.  Okay, it's not that easy but...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> ]]></description>

<br />
Favorite toon pairings-<br />
<br />
Well, in terms of what sort of pairing?  Friends, Enemies or lovers?  I'll make that clear here.<br />
Ohhh, you mean as in..."pairings"....well...sorry, but I kinda don't usually do that for cartoons.  I think there's a question later there for you to deal there with that.<br />
<br />
How about pairings I just find awesome?  That ok?<br />
<br />
1.  Lilo/Stitch *Friends* (Lilo and Stitch):  Now, these two simply rock on their own, but as a team, they are just superb.  One freaky girl who won't back down from anything and has an obsession for fat people, combined with a destructive experiment with a complex of morality vs destruction.....is just probably the best match of characters Disney ever made in film and/or series.<br />
<br />
2. Iago/Genie *Friends* (Aladdin):  Yeah, this is pretty odd, but the two are basically comedy reliefs put together, so you have a good balance of wise-cracks from iago with extravagant jokes from Genie.  Those two could go on Just For Laughs and knock the house down!<br />
(Yes, I love Iago, parrots rock!)<br />
<br />
3. Bugs Bunny/Daffy Duck *Enemies* (Looney Toons):  Not really friends, I guess, since Daffy is always shifting the pain towards Bugs before it backfires into his beak.  The two work with such an animosity that comedy ensues as natural as popcorn in a microwave.  It just pops out anytime.<br />
<br />
4. Robin Hood/Maid Marian *Lovers* (Disney's Robin Hood):  Might as well add lovers in here somewhere, and these two are as sweet as you can get.  Childhood promise blossoming into brave rescueing (the archery event made me go through three emotions step by step) and playful quips.  I love the two, along with Robin being handsome and Marian being pretty.<br />
Alright, I did "like" them, happy now? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br />
<br />
Toon pairings you hate-<br />
<br />
1. Baloo/Kitt *Friends* (TaleSpin):  I'll bite, I wasn't a fan of TaleSpin.  Baloo annoyed me in it and I never liked the little cub.<br />
<br />
2. Scooby Doo/Scrappy Doo *Friends* (Scooby Doo):  Yes, I never liked the Scooby Doo shows, mainly because I never found them funny.  Scrappy just sucked, period.  Didn't anyone ever wonder WHY he was thrown out of a train at the beginning?  Point.  Sadly, some kind bugger gave him airholes.<br />
<br />
3. Godzilla/Godzooky *Friends* (Hanna-Barbera Godzilla):  Yes, this just shows you why pairing a main character with a sucky little mini-me of themselves is a purely bad idea.  Ever since Scrappy, they pop up like ants!  DAMN YOU SCRAPPY!!!  DAMN YOU GODZOOKY!!!<br />
<br />
4. Ren/Stimpy *Friends/Lovers?* (Ren and Stimpy):  I'm sorry, I REALLY hated this show.  It was too gross for me, and it made me puke three times during two episodes....I can't take them.  They are funny by personality, but their show is....urgh.<br />
(I put in Friends/Lovers{?} due to the debate on whether or not they are actually a gay couple.  Not that I imply anything, I don't care about the two)<br />
<br />
Toon pairings you like but won't ever admit you like-<br />
<br />
Well now, here's your chance.  In terms of "pairings" I can imagine most ideas, depending on my mood.  There was Stitch/Gantu...and Cow/Chicken...and Wile E/Pepe Le Pew or Foghon Leghorn/Daffy Duck....oh damn, I did NOT say that XD<br />
Ach it doesn't matter, eh?<br />
<br />
5 of your favourite cartoon characters-<br />
<br />
1. Dr John Zoidberg (Futurama)<br />
2. Count Duckula (DUCKULA!!!)<br />
3. Fox (The Animals of Farthing Wood)<br />
4. Courage (Courage the Cowardly Dog)<br />
5. Brooklyn (Gargoyles<br />
<br />
Zoidberg - cute; Duckula - first cartoon; Fox - brave; Courage - cute; Brooklyn - handsome.<br />
<br />
5 cartoon characters you hate-<br />
<br />
1. Scrappy Doo (Scooby Doo)<br />
2. Mr Magoo (since he doesn't wear glasses I can punch him, bonus!)<br />
3. Agent Excel (Excel Saga)<br />
4. Mr Bighead (Rocko's Modern Life)<br />
5. Eustace (Courage the Cowardly Dog)<br />
<br />
Scrappy must die; Magoo should get some goddamn laser surgery or just never go out, Excel should die, Bighead should just shut up, and Eustace must NEVER be saved by Courage again.<br />
<br />
Slash pairings, or no  Mmmm, mostly yes.<br />
<br />
Cute pairings, or dark passion pairings  Both<br />
<br />
How about off-the-mark pairings - By obscure pairings...it IS interesting to "experiment"<br />
<br />
Do you ever like easily predictable pairings  Mmmm....yes<br />
<br />... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay. . .I haven't updated in a long while on the news.  So:<br />
<br />
I am going to see a psychiatrist next month.  I have been through some bad crap lately, mainly dogs fighting, another panic attack, and having a manic burst to lead me out, running across a freakin' motorway and walking three miles alone to a town, where police pick me up. . .and it all went from there.<br />
<br />
it's all cleared up.  I got my appointment.  And also, something else.<br />
I have now found out from my mother that I actually have the social mentality of a 12-year old.<br />
THAT was the main reason they are always worried about me being unsupervised.<br />
Christ, I'm nearly an actual adult and I still feel alone and afraid in towns and cities.<br />
<br />
Also, my mate David and me have been arranging plans for us living together.  After weighing up who has more to less by emigration, it appears that I must live with him, all the way in Oregon.<br />
So. . .seeing my problems, my parents are afraid of how I am coping.<br />
I feel that I may fall out with my father after learning some vicious truths about him from my mother.  My mother who is incapable of lying.<br />
<br />
Also, I have been working night shifts for my mum to help her and the family business, in exchange for £20 per week.<br />
<br />
Ohhh, I feel so laden with problems now.<br />
It's a good thing I have my hermano James and my dear boyfriend David.  Without them I probably would've slit my wrists back in December.<br />
Ach, what am I saying?  I shouldn't be thinking that.<br />
I have been trying to cope with the new information and getting plans sorted.  I know my parents are worried about me on my own in the US, but I'm not alone!<br />
I have David, I trust him.  And this is rare for me, since I generally mistrust people.  If I trust someone, then well, I trust them.<br />
I want to live with David.  This feels like my one shot at true love.  I want to know what true love feels like when you are close with one another.  What all those soppy love films were talking about, and what it truly meant to know and care for someone else only a lover or husband or wife could do.<br />
<br />
I am going to the USA one day.  Even if I can't do it forever, I will be with David somehow.<br />
Now enough of that. . .what else?<br />
<br />
Oh yeah.  In other news, I am eagerly awaiting Kingdom Hearts 2, and also been playing Area 51 a bit.  Marilyn Manson has a good villain voice: cool, dark and twisted.<br />
I wish I knew where to get some X-Files. . .Mulder rocks. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Wow, I'm nearing my 1000th pageview. .  .guess I better follow tradition.<br />
If you show you were the 1000th page  viewer, I'll take a request to write a  poem for you.  And for those who don't  know how. . .<br />
To print your screen, press "print  screen" on your keyboard, and then go  to Paint and click "Paste" in the Edit  menu.  Your PC screen capture will pop  up, hopefully with the DA page of my  page and the big 1-0-0-0!!!<br />
<br />
Also, I just put in my 92nd poem  entitled "Hope". . .that means, 8 more  until I reach my 100th poem!  I hope  it's one I can show on DA (note, not  all 100 poems are on DA as some are  private towards friends and/or family)<br />
<br />
Well, have a nice day/night everyone! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Today was fantastic!!!  I went to a  tiny shop in Dundee (called "Groucho's"  after that great comedian himself) and  found SEVEN videos of the Marx  Brothers.  Not 1, not 2, 3 isn't even  there, but 7!!!<br />
Also, I got to buy and watch Twelve  Monkeys.  One of the best films I ever  saw!  (I love any film that is  confusing and deals with time-travel).<br />
Finally, a poem I entered in a national  poetry competition is going to get  published!  The poem is "Ode to a  Stream at Bellies Brae" and will be put  in a book of poems selected with other  poems out of 30,000 entries!<br />
<br />
My second poem, published!!!  I am  going to faint from such heights of  happiness.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I did it, I did it, I DID IT!!!!  I  have now reached the 50-poem mark!!!!<br />
<br />
Counting them up, as of 15 January 2005  at 1:19pm GMT, I actually now have 53  poems.  Not all of them are on  DeviantART for certain reasons but rest  assured, they're all on my PC.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/excited.gif" width="23" height="19" alt=":excited:" title="OMG! I can't contain my excitement!" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /><br />
My first poem "The World I Live In" was  conceived back in March 2004, and now  after 10 months, I have this much, my  newest poem entitled "Clan of  Darkness".<br />
<br />
Also, I heard of a strange thing  recently.  A man called Seth Barkin  writes poems about videogames.   Imagine, VIDEOGAMES!!!  This adds a new  direction to me.  I have made three  poems (the ones that reached past the  50 mark) of three videogame characters.<br />
The Faithful Dinosaur = Yoshi (from  Super Mario)<br />
The Hunter = Samus Aran (from Metroid)<br />
Clan of Darkness = The Darkstalkers.<br />
I was thinking of putting these three  on DA but I'm not sure if everyon'e  know who these characters are.<br />
<br />
Anyway, real happy now. . .53!!!  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wow.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":wow:" title="Wow!" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/faint.gif" width="18" height="17" alt=":faint:" title="I think I've fainted." /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, bak to school, back to a normal  cycle of the usual, and the weird  sleeping patterns to die off.<br />
You know it takes me 2 hours to get to  sleep?  I envy those who can go *snap*  and out like a broken lightbulb.<br />
<br />
Well, I guess I have to stress up, for  the exams come in february<br />
And they don't seem happy to see me.<br />
Good, because neither am I.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, 2005 is under our feet and above  our heads.<br />
Let's hope this year is good, that all  the nastiness from last year gets  cleaned up, and we all have better  lives.<br />
<br />
You know, I went looking through my  stuff, and I have made 42 poems so far.   Some aren't on here for certain  reasons, but. . .42???<br />
<br />
That's the. . .answer to Life, the  Universe and Everything! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wow.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":wow:" title="Wow!" />  What can  this possibly mean???<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, as we end 2004 with what was  certainly a strange and confusing year  (especially for me, I can tell ya) I've  got things to say.<br />
<br />
First, I have finished my Seven Poems  of Sin.<br />
Lust, Anger, Greed, Gluttony, Pride,  Envy and Sloth in that order, finished.   Hope you like them.<br />
<br />
Also, I watched two movies last night.<br />
Spirited Away = a weird japanese  animation I recommend watching.  Think  of a modern Alice in Wonderland.<br />
And that all-time classic, The Good,  The Bad, And The Ugly.  Damn, I love  that music.<br />
<br />
Well, my most eventful year comes to an  end.<br />
Happy NEW year to all at DA!!! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I am going on my first own  project.  And when I say project, I  mean something that will be finished  and done however I wish.<br />
Having a little idea a while ago, and  with some inspiration and maybe an  "homage" to the webcomic JACK <a href="http://www.pholph.com">[link]</a> by  David and Katie Hopkins, I am going to  make seven poems for the seven sins.<br />
<br />
I'll post them here, if anyone's  interested.  Just as a reminder, the  seven sins are:<br />
Lust, Wrath (anger), Greed ,Gluttony,  Pride (vanity), Envy, and Sloth  (laziness).<br />
I'll release them in that order.<br />
<br />
Also, I'm thinking of a name for this  project.  I call it Sinful Folio, but  if anyone has a better name, please  send an idea in.<br />

<br />
In other news, I have been making more  poems regularly.  I'd like to ask any  of you writers/poets out there, is that  safe?<br />

I got up late, and had to rush, making  record time getting my clothes on.<br />
I was bored, catching up on Biology  (Darwin's theories which I already  know)<br />
Administration had a surprise test jump  me, but we'll see the mark.<br />
<br />
Anyway, main big thing is. . .I now  have three more poems for you all.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/number1.gif" width="35" height="31" alt=":#1:" title="#1" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, the funeral's over. . .first  funeral I ever went to.<br />
It is real scary to see the coffin  disappear under the floor, under a  cloak. . .like a morbid magic trick.<br />
Especially since it was a cremation. . .<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/fear.gif" width="18" height="18" alt=":fear:" title="Fear" />  note to all, don't ever get cremated,  it's freaky, seriously.<br />
<br />
In other news, I now have this <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/runnynose.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":runnynose:" title="Runny Nose" />, but am  unable to do this <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blownose.gif" width="28" height="20" alt=":blownose:" title="Blow your nose!" /> somehow.  Now I'm  trying to reach this kind of mood <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /> but  downloads are making me sleep, being so  long.<br />
<br />
And a friend came back (hi Scy! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wave.gif" width="25" height="20" alt=":wave:" title="Hi!" /> )  <br />
And I'm learning Greek from my  grandmother.  Nice.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Creativiy's going up and down like mad,  I'm listening to some gryphon (called  2) ranting uselessly on the web.  And  I'm dressing up like a mage in my  dressing gown (damn i look cool)  :cool:.  Still haven't got the  emoticons all right, but getting there.<br />
Back at school, panicked on a Biology  test about protein synthesis, and now  I'm looking through BBC 7.  Man, days  can be weird, can't they? ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, my third day here on DeviantART,  and I'm still confused. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/confuse.gif" width="18" height="15" alt=":confused:" title="Confused" /> I'm that  confused, I have to use an emoticon for  it.<br />
<br />
I've been screwing around with my  webcam, tried to get a good avatar (I  have one from a forum but it's not  50x50).  Looked at my neighbours,  surprised to find one from Forfar  (hello to throwntothewolves), and I'm  going back to school next week. . .  .well, that's pretty much it.  I feel  bored and I'm looking at great art on  this place.  I love this site, honestly. ]]></description>
