It is quite ironic that two of my best friends would have their birthdays on the same day. Since it is officially the 2nd on the east coast, now is the proper time to post this.

I couldn't really think of anything else to give these two fellas, so this will have to do.



Ah Lex. Me and him go way back. We have known each other for at least around 5 years now. I still remember the days when I was browsing Fanfiction.net and came across his stories. I INSTANTLY became hooked to them and always enjoyed every chapter the he wrote. Soon upon joining the site, he grew to love my Team Chaos series and asked if he could get his characters Lex and Pyra in it. I excitedly accepted his characters into a tale that I had originally figured out and modified it perfectly to accommodate them. Heck, I even wrote a special part of the series that focused on them returning back to their homeworld (Breaking the Barriers). As time passed, our friendship grew ever stronger. We eventually started to chat with each other with YIM/MSN. Despite him not being much of a Yoshi fan, he always seemed to enjoy my Yoshi-based tales. Of course, after a while, I grew bored of FF.net and moved on to DA. However, this did not end our friendship by a long shot. We still kept in touch a great amount of the time and I eventually convinced him to join DA with me. Now, here we are. Us two, practically the best of friends. XD

We share many things with each other for we have grown such a trusting bond between each other. Our RPs are always entertaining. We also often come to each other, asking for advice on how that we may improve our writing. Heck, we even do what we can to cheer each other up if either of us are feeling down in the dumps.

As for his writing, it is just FANTASTIC. Seriously, the guy truly has an incredible talent of writing his many stories. He knows exactly when to bring the right twist in at the right moment as well as provide a thrilling read.

Seriously, if you are looking for great writing, check this guy out!

Still waiting for that update to Freedom Fighters though.




If it wasn't for YAF, we probably never would have met. We joined at around the same time and we soon became friends, primarily thanks to the RP section of the forum as well as our interests in writing. The guy really knows how to create his characters and his certainly has more than enough to entertain you with. Of course, I can never forget our hit RP series, "The Bonding of Souls." Seriously, that may be two years old now, but I still remember the good times we had making up that story as we went, placing passion into every possible scene. We also can't forget my Yoshi Agency RP, which finished in quite the spectacular fashion.

As with Lex, me and some friends eventually convinced him to get a DA account and join us in the fun of this site.

Our MSN conversations are always something to enjoy. Fun, yet random most of the time. XD I am always around to help him too, like any good friend should.

As for his writing, it is also some of the best that I have seen in my many years of reading. The guy literally knows how to put a lot of passion into his tales, especially when it came to the bonds between his characters as well as the characters of his friends.

Both of these writers are definitely people I ALWAYS recommend that you take a look at if you wish to find a good read. Just go to their galleries, have a look. You WON'T be disappointed!

Now, with all that said, let me be the first to say:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEX AND ABY! http://GameFreak38.deviantart.com/journal/20665642/ Thu, 25 Sep 2008 09:40:52 PDT

:: News ::

Well, I bought Brisingr the other day and have been really enjoying it. 200 pages in so far.^^

This morning, I wanted to play my 360, but as I turned it on, I got the Red Ring of Death. So, I'll be calling MS in a while to get this taken care of. I'll have to settle for what I have with the Wii and PS3 for now.

Slowly trying to climb out of my block again. Still looking for more inspiration to write something. Who knows, maybe the death of my 360 will help me write more.

As for college, things are going rather well. I recently aced a test in Digital Imaging, so that is always good.

I am still looking forward to doing a couple community service activities for the school later on this semester. I am going to help the Regional Food Bank with getting meals boxed up and ready for families this Thanksgiving. Also, I will be helping the Salvation Army out by ringing bells and collecting donations in December.

I sold my two programming textbooks the other day. I got more for my 1 year old C++ book than I got for my new Java book.

Still thinking of looking into other CSS journal designs so I can makes this one a bit smaller.

Not much else to see here, move along.
