The Enerprise and her crew have just encountered species that are significantly more advanced than us, though all that's left is their mind in the form of pure energy because of an intense cataclysm that rendered their planet life less. They are requestiong the use of Kirk's body, along with Spock's and another crewman, to build artificial bodies of their own so they can leave their barren planent after a half million years. These being are willing to give mankind all of their knowledge in order to help the continuation of the humans and the Federation. Everyone who is high enough up to be impacted by this (all the previous characters plus Montgomery "Scotty" Scott) are willing to do this, except for McCoy, who finds the whole idea of them using the Captain's and the Second-in-Command's body too risky. Now that you know the basic layout of the plot so far, here's the speech:

McCoy: “I still want one question answered to my satisfaction: Why!? Not a list of possible miracles, but a simple, basic, understandable ‘why’ that overrides all danger. Let’s not kid ourselves that there’s no potential danger in this.”

Kirk: “They used to say that if man could fly he’d have wings. But he did fly. He discovered he had to. Do you wish that the first Apollo mission hadn’t reached the moon, or that we hadn’t gone on to Mars then to the nearest star? That’s like saying you wish that you still operated with scalpels and sewed your patients up with cat gut like your great-great-great-great-grandfather used to. I’m in command; I could order this but I’m not because Doctor McCoy is right in pointing out the enormous danger potential in any contact with life and intelligence as fantastically advanced as this!! But I must point out that the possibilities, the potential, the knowledge, the advancement is equally great! Risk, risk is our business! That’s what a star ship is all about! That’s why we’re aboard her!”

On a unrelated note, the journal skins aren't being sponsered anymore so I have to go back to the boring green one.

I have...

bought Star Trek XI on DVD and Blu-ray Tuesday when it came out. Before you start judging me as being excessive (and I realize that, in this instance, I am a little) let me explain. I bought the B-r for the digital copy (so I can put it on my iPod), the quality (it would be a crime to watch this in anything less) and for the four Starfleet replica badges of the four divisions (Command, Engineering and Security, Science, and Medical). I bought the DVD so I can watch it upstairs on the regular DVD player when my brother is playing the PS3 (our B-r player) and so I can watch it on my portable DVD player on trips and such.

stayed up until 1:26 on Wednesday watching Star Trek.

worn one one of the previously mentioned Starfleet badges (Science) on Wednesday and kept the S&E in my pocket today.

donated blood on Wednesday. No drama whatsoever. No fainting, throwing up or discomfort in any way, shape or form. The needle didn't even hurt. And I got free snacks and someone read The Berenstain Bears to me. What fun!!

started my menstration cycle on Wednesday after donating blood. WHAT. THE. HELL. Not! Fun!

won a debate in French about how Twilight is the most sucktastic story/movie/franchise in existence, me being on the supporting side.

ENJOYED LIFE!!!
(despite the fact that the premier for New Moon, the latest installment in the Twilight series a.k.a. The Series That Bastardized Vampires Forever, is tonight)

Apparently the town of Boston (capital of Massachusetts for all you non-Americans who might not know and/or idiots) has dubbed November 14th Leonard Nimoy Day, because of some dealio of him hailling from there and something was happening on that day that involved his coming back there for something important. I don't get it but it's cool nonetheless. HAPPY BELATED LN DAY!!

WATCH THESE!!
Part 1: [link]
Part 2: [link]
Part 3: [link]

Part 3 is the one that's important, but you need to watch Part 2 in order to really get it, and Part 1 gives you the full effect. As a teaser, here's a line from P3: "You just watched Kirk and Spock become a couple."

And apparently dA is having a limited time offer where you can use any journal skin for free. They don't have a Star Trek one, but still WOOHOO!!

...until First Contact. Well technically, that's when the warp barrier is supposed to be broken; FC happens later that night.

In related news: watched The Next Generation movie First Contact on Sunday. Really, really REALLY good. Data is now my favorite character. Why you may ask? Because he is fully equipped, well versed in a number of positions and NOT A VIRGIN!!! Data, the android, has done the hanky-panky. And Trois wasn't bad either. In the show I really disliked her, but she was really good in this movie.Next on the movie agenda: TNG Insurrection!

The Borg weird me out (they're half-organic, half-machine, and they have no individuality and are part of a hive mind called The Collective. And once you're Assimilated, there's no going back). I should have been a Borg for Halloween. Super mega awesome creepy.

BTW FYI, the date for FC is April 5, 2063. On that day I'm going to host a “First Contact” party. We’re going to have a marathon of Star Trek, Original Series to Enterprise, plus all the movies. Everyone will be strongly encouraged to show up in their Trekky-est attire. Save the date!

In other Star Trek news:

The background of my phone is the Starfleet logo.

I got a Star Trek game for my phone. It’s really fun. DIE KLINGON WARBIRDS DIE!!

13 days, 3 hours and 18 minutes remaining until ST: XI

I don’t have a problem. STFU GTFO.

I mean…

That is all.

Kidding.

This weekend I spent over 30 dollars buying Star Trek books (it was actually over 50, but my mom paid for 20 of it). One is Troublesome Minds (which is SOO good, by the way), the other is the novelized version of the new movie by Alan Dean Foster (surprise, not as good as the new movie. the lines aren't the same and it's just not as good), and the rest are all MANGA!!

That's right! STAR TREK MANGA!! NOT EFFING KIDDING!! SOOOOOO awesome!!

LLaP homies!!

So... apparently in a past life I was a sailor...

Actually I aplogize for all the swearing. I ended up getting so sick of looking at it myslef that I went through and editted all the F-bombs.

And I feel I have to apologize especially to Stacy and Alex. This is your aunt, uncle and coworkers I talking about. And I'm a bitch-a-roony-doony when I'm mad. Je suis desolees.

And I called Deanne and it's all figured out. It was rather simple actually. Though she did sound a bit curt when I was talking to her on the phone on Sunday, but I might be imagining it (and even if I'm not, who cares? I don't).

And I was kidding about me just not showing up to work. I was just mad. The only reason I wouldn't show up to work from now on is if I don't know that I'm working, because unless they call and tell me, I'm not going to be there to look at the schedules.

--

I ask again: Are. You. Fricking! KIDDING ME!!?


Perhaps I'll get an answer if I start from the beginning...


So I worked at Bar Harbor this summer, and I wanted my last day to be Labor Day. They asked if I could work Fridays in September. I said fine because I want the money, but September would have to be it.

I ended up being scheduled on a SATURDAY that I requested off (today in fact). I said I couldn't work that day because I was demonstrating for Tae Kwon Do. Deanne said it would be fine if I came in late, so I said the earliest I would be coming in would be 6:00 and she said that would be fine. I then wrote down (in capital letters with explanation points) that Saturday would be my last day.

So I walk in the door and clock-in at 6:00 and I get crap for coming in late! WHAT! THE! FRICK!! I wasn't even supposed to work today, and I got PERMISSION to come in late. Don't you EFFING give me shit for coming in late when I was only asked to work Fridays it ended up not being as busy as they thought so they sent me home after 20 minutes. Which is funny in a not-so-funny way; not that I'm ungrateful, but really, what the hell.

After I clock-in I look at the schedule to make sure I'm not supposed to work any more (because I have serious doubts with this place at this point) and sure enough, I'm EFFING scheduled to work the second of OCTOBER!!!! October second is the day before Homecoming and I have to march in the parade and play at the game. So yeah, no way I'm going to be able to work.

After I vent to Allysa about this and she says that it's becasue I didn't give enough notice.

EXCUSE ME? YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FRICKIN' SHITTING ME BECAUSE YOU DID NOT JUST EFFING SAY THAT!

I shouldn't have to give to EFFING give NOTICE about not working in October when I was ASKED to work FRIDAYS in SEPTEMBER when I gave my notice IN AUGUST!!!!

Allysa then followed it with saying that everyone wasn't sure that I was going to show up today. BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T EFFING ASK FOR THIS DAY OFF BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING GOING ON!!

You have to be FRICKIN' kidding me becuase this is all just too effing bat-shit insane NOT to be a joke.

.
.
.

Well FINE then.

So I talked to Steve after I clocked-out and (calmly) explained that the second isn't going to work out and that today NEEDS to be my last day because I'm so busy with family and school. I had to talk to Steve because Deanne was out until tomorrow morning. I'm going to call her tomorrow as well to make sure that they undertsand that I am no longer on call and I'm not to be sceduled anymore.

And if they still don't take me off the second I'm just not going to show up, along with anyother day they sign me up for. And Stacy and Alex, don't try and cover for me by showing up. If they need someone, they can call you but don't show up unless THEY ask, because you covering me for a day I'm not even supposed to be working completely defeats the purpose of me not showing up in the first place.



JESUS MOTHERF*CKING CHRIST~!!!



*whew*



So I feel better.

And how was your day?

61 days 2 hours and 7 minutes until November 17.

Live Long and Prosper.

Seriously, this was my face the entire time:

I honestly don't think I'm exaggerating when I say I saw more boobs in that movie than in my entire life so far, and that's including the ones I've seen in the mirror. It was DEFINETELY the most times I've heard the F-bomb.

My eyebrows were raised for such an extended period of time, I have wrinkles (they're small and no doubt temporary, but they're still there).

I just thought of a drinking game for Crank 2: one shot of tequila for every boob and one shot of vodka every time the word "fuck" or its variants is said. You'll be dead in 10 minutes (the only reason it takes that long is because the first 9 minutes and 40 seconds are thankfully free of dialoge).

65 days 4 hours and 38 minutes until the release of Star Trek XI on DVD and Blu-ray.

I heard a statistic that over half of asked women said their first sexual encounter was with another woman. The number for men was substantally lower (actually, 99% of poled men said their first sexual experience was with themselves, but that's a topic I think is best left unexplored at this point and time).

Now here's where the pondering comes in. Why is it more socially acceptable to be a lesbian than to be gay? Why is it considered okay (as in more sexually arousing) for two women to be seen kissing than two men? I think the answer lies in the fact that we live in a patriarchal society, where the man must prove himself as a man to be considered dominant. And I think if we were more of a matriachal oriented culture, it would be the opposite.

Thoughts? Opinions?

-officially broke the 1000 mark for songs on its iPood (1199 songs to be exact).

-just bought its fifth Star Trek book. It thinks it's done for awhile.

Sym. Band I

Am. Gov.

AP Calc. II

AP Chem. II

Econ.

Sym. Band II

AP Lit. II

French III

-is annoyed by the concept of "Friend" on dA. All its friends are all in its Watch, but not all those it Watches are its Friends. Its Watches shouldn't automatically be concidered "Friends" and its friends deserve a seperate category than those it simply Watches.

-only recently decided to find out the definition of "Agnostic" and now realizes its been agnostic for awhile now without realizing it.

-forgot how fun it is to play chess with its brother (especially when it wins)

-is happy its mom is back from her four day trip for work.

-realized the reason why it wishes it was a Vulcan.

-wishes it was more philosophical rather than just introspective.

-is counting the days until November 17 (82 days as of 8/26).

-is having fun referring to itself in third person with gender neutral pronouns.

I've been listening to this song constantly for the past few days because I am currently engaged in a conversation with Alex that involves this. And I mean the lyrics ARE our conversation. So becuse I can't get it out of my head and I'm ADD with my journals you get "American Pie" by Don McLean. It will enter through your ears and wrap around the cerebral cortex, rendering you extremely susceptible to suggestion. The first person to tell me what I'm paraphrasing gets... something. Of their choosing. I reserve the right to say "No, pick something else" and all that jazz, yeah. To Google,AWAY!!

Cute Grim Reaper emoticon is cute. The salmon mooouu~usse...

A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And, maybe, they'd be happy for a while.

But february made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver.
Bad news on the doorstep;
I couldn't take one more step.

I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride,
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died.

So bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin', "this'll be the day that I die.
"this'll be the day that I die."

Did you write the book of love,
And do you have faith in God above,
If the Bible tells you so?
Do you believe in rock 'n roll,
Can music save your mortal soul,
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?

Well, I know that you're in love with him
`cause I saw you dancin' in the gym.
You both kicked off your shoes.
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues.

I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck,
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died.

I started singin',
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
And singin', "this'll be the day that I die.
"this'll be the day that I die."

Now for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone,
But that's not how it used to be.
When the jester sang for the king and queen,
In a coat he borrowed from james dean
And a voice that came from you and me,

Oh, and while the king was looking down,
The jester stole his thorny crown.
The courtroom was adjourned;
No verdict was returned.
And while lennon read a book of marx,
The quartet practiced in the park,
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died.

We were singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
And singin', "this'll be the day that I die.
"this'll be the day that I die."

Helter skelter in a summer swelter.
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter,
Eight miles high and falling fast.
It landed foul on the grass.
The players tried for a forward pass,
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast.

Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the sergeants played a marching tune.
We all got up to dance,
Oh, but we never got the chance!
`cause the players tried to take the field;
The marching band refused to yield.
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?

We started singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
And singin', "this'll be the day that I die.
"this'll be the day that I die."

Oh, and there we were all in one place,
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again.
So come on: jack be nimble, jack be quick!
Jack flash sat on a candlestick
Cause fire is the devil's only friend.

Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists... ]]> ~Melusedek http://Melusedek.deviantart.com/journal/26551040/ http://Melusedek.deviantart.com/journal/26551040/ Thu, 13 Aug 2009 06:54:06 PDT
M: I don't like V8.


EIY: That's okay; it's loaded with sodium.

You should've had one anyway.


M: But I don't wanna! *sits down and pouts*


EIY: What about celery with peanut butter? That's what I'm eating right now.


M: With chocolate chips. Yum.


EIY: Hmmm . . . I don't have any. Otherwise, I'd try it.


M: It's also good with raisens.


EIY: Ants on a log.


M: Exactly.


EIY: It's something Spock wouldn't understand. Fascinating.


M: Well, insects are high in protien. Ounce for ounce, some have even more than steak. He just wouldn't get the log part... unless we were talking about beavers. Then it would be perfectly logical to be talking about eating ants on a log. But we're not talking about beavers. So there. HA!! No wait... what?


EIY: He probably wouldn't understand why such a name makes the snack appealing for young children.


M: Kids eat dirt (or at least I did). And bugs. We kiss frogs just to freak out our parents and we play in mud. Whats not to get?


EIY: You're right. A Vulcan would probably not understand such behaviors because they are taught to be logical as children. However, since Spock is half-human, perhaps he endured such strange urges as a child as well. I wonder what the others would think of that.


M: If they were humans, they would have thrown rocks at him. But since they're Vulcan, they would have just told him that his behavior us illogical and should therefore stop.


EIY: And he would then proceed to make mudpies all by himself. Poor space elf.


M: I see him more as reading text books for fun (if they have books in the future, I'm pretty sure it's all on computer disc... though in one episode, a guy had real books, but said they're rare. Well there you go then, that answers it. He'd read computer data for fun... wow, I had an entire conversation with my self. THAT'S SO COOL!!). Or maybe he'd throw the mudpies. That's what I used them for.


EIY: Or he could eat the mudpies. Practice vegetarianism.

Stacy: It's only logical, being that he went through the effort to make it.


M: It wouldn't be logical since there isn't any nutritional value to dirt. So therefore the effort expended was illogical. I have no idea where I'm going with this.


EIY: I don't know, but you could be the one to find out.


M: To Vulcan!!


EIY: You can abduct aliens and run kooky experiments on them.


M: Only if the expirements involve leather, chains, handcuffs and a gag ball.


EIY: What about the caffeine?


M: Why? It doesn't affect them.

And honestly, I'm a little disappointed by your reaction to my previous comment.


EIY: I figured that whatever popped up in my head was doubtlessly much different than what you had in mind. You could torture them with meatballs.


M: Do you even know what I was implying?


EIY: Let me look back . . . Ooo, probably something dirty that I haven't quite grasped. I can very well guess, but you probably would come up with another bizarre use of the torture-esque devices that would make even Spock say, "What the *bleep*?"


M: They're equipment for kinky sex. Wow. Normally having to explain something makes it less funny, but not this time!


EIY: But would it apply to Vulcans?


M: I thought you meant Vulcans when you said I could kidnap aliens and run kooky experiments on them.


EIY: No, I meant the kinky sex devices.


M: Oh. Wow, this conversation is making us both look like idiots.

I guess I'd find out at the time. Heh heh heh...


EIY: With a Vulcan, all you need for kinky sex is a Chinese finger trap. Actually, that's probably masturbation.


M: LOL~!! I bet the story of Little Jack Horner is like porn to them.


EIY: Little Jack Horney is more like it.


M: Lawl. You're so bad. That story always make me think of American Pie because of the apple pie scene.


EIY: I love that song. I think I know it by heart, even though it's like ten minutes long or something.

"A long, long time ago, I can still remember how that music used to make me smile . . ."


M: I meant the movie American Pie...

Oh! Kirstie I have a question for you, and since your mother is in the dental profession, I think you might have the answer. Are the stiches they use chitin, or a form thereof (I'm pretty sure that's the correct spelling, though I'm sure that one of the Twins will correct me if I'm wrong). I remember in AP Bio about learning that dissolving stitches (basically the ones that don't need to be removed) are sometimes made of chitin, a polymer found in an insect's exoskeleton. I just think it would be cool if I had bug molecules in my mouth.

It emphasizes the relationship (romantic or not) shared by Spock and Kirk. And the song is absolutely beautiful. You do have to be familiar with the third Star Trek movie The Search for Spock to understand the full sentiment of the video, but if you've only watched the latest installment, it's still pretty amazing. Hell, it's amazing if the extent of your Trek knowledge is that you know Mr. Spock is the one with pointy ears.

Live long and prosper.

"Aristotle and Averroes" by Kareem Salama:
I was like you and yes you were like me
We were so much alike but unique as can be
Friends til the end and we were quite the right team
Like those two men Aristotle and Averroes

It was a cold evening near the end of fall
That we made our aqaintance for nothing at all
But the common interest to make melodies
And little did we know the fine friends we would be

At first you spoke little and I said a lot
But in time you would trust me with the depth of your thought
And though we were only young men at the time
We had souls of the ancients with the youth left to climb

I was like you and yes you were like me
We were so much alike but unique as can be
Friends til the end and we were quite the right team
Like those two men Aristotle and Averroes

I was like you and yes you were like me
We were so much alike but unique as can be
Friends til the end and we were quite the right team
Like those two men Aristotle and Averroes

I was walking down the road many took
Studied all the classics learned all the great books
But I listened to the inspiration inside of me
And expected the least but had the courage to see

There was a time when the world didn't know
The way you could make a song from just a few notes
But never did you imagine, never did I
That with difference and some brilliance we'd come back to life

I was like you and yes you were like me
We were so much alike but unique as can be
Friends til the end and we were quite the right team
Like those two men Aristotle and Averroes

I was like you and yes you were like me
We were so much alike but unique as can be
Friends til the end and we were quite the right team
Like those two men Aristotle and Averroes

From
1.) Trek: She said even out of context, but my brain is too stoopid right now to think of something clever so HOLYFRICKKINCOWSTARTREKISTHESHITIAMSUCHA TREKKYCANTWAITFORFIRSTCONTACTKHAAAAAAAAN NLIVELONGANDPROSPER!!!!! The first one able to read this (and posts what it translates into in a comment), they will earn something from me. Like a hug or something. I don't know, just tell me what you want in the comment and I'll see what I can do. Something small though (I do reserve the right to refuse to do something if I don't want to, but you can pick something else). EDIT: Alex won the super special prize thing of her choice. Congrats!! Translation: Holy frikkin' cow, Star Trek is the shit! I am such a trekky! Can't wait for First Contact! Khaaaaaaaann~!! Live long and prosper! (punctuation marks will vary).

2.) Science: I is a science chick, especially physics. I could tell you all of the reasons why I love physics, but this journal is long enough as it is. When I eventually by a Starfleet uniform (I will damn it. And I'm going to wear it to the Rennaissance festival. It just won't happen this year 'cause I'm saving for France), I am SO getting a blue shirt. Yes, a shirt. I am NOT going to wear those short dresses. I know, I know, 60's and everything, feminism women's rights blah blah blah. But COME ON!! No one takes you seriously when they can see you underwear (Hane's white bikini cut, thank you very much. And that's another problem: no commando. Not that I do now, but it's nice to have the option if I run out of clean underwear). I guess I'll wear the skirt, but I demand pants to wear with it. *pauses* Huh. This went from science and why it relates to me to a rant on the absurdity of the women's Starfleet uniforms. Cool!

3.) Celestial: I'm very interested in celestial bodies, even in the metaphysical sense (zodiac and such). I always astound my mom with random bits of knowledge I'll randomly pull out of my ass (but a lot of it is kinda common knowledge IMO, so I shouldn't be too proud).


4.) Eccentric: This is news to me. I would never peg myself as eccentric. *snorts* One of the Twins overheard a cus-tumor say this line (or something close to this) and she thought of me "She's very smart and logical, she's just messed up."

5.) Bold: When Allysa's boyfirend came to work to see her and eat, I asked him if he was the one Allysa was saying had a very small penis. It was funny. He took it very well.

--

From
1.) Vulcan: If I could be any species in the real or fictional world, I would SO TOTALLY be Vulcan. Three times the human strength, excellent senses (especially hearing), touch-telepathy (plus some regular telepathy, but it's not strong), Porn Farr (lawl), and sexy Vulcan hand sex! What's not to love!! I would be that one Vulcan eating mudpies during reccess while the rest are playing with their abacuses and Rubik's cubes (Rubik's cube is Russian inwention. It's really Hungarian but whatever, close enough. Yay Chekov). Plus I would be the first Vulcan to get a restraining order (on account I would be all over Spock like white on rice... or fur on a tribble. What ever strikes your fancy).

2.) Music: I do enjoy my music. Pretty much all I do is accompanied by music: driving, reading, laying in the bath, writing hella long journals that take forever, hanging out on the computer in general, doodling, exercising (I sing in my head), or just sitting around. Even when I'm thinking about something else, I usually have a song playing in the background. It's like elevator music but cooler.

3.) Physics: best effing science field IN EXISTANCE!! I will not hear any debate, as any argument is inherently flawed since it doesn't agree with the statement that physics pwns.

4.) AWESOMASTERRIFICNESS!: I kinda think this speaks for itself. *shugs*

5.) Honest: I do try to be as honest as possible (except if I'll get in trouble. This usually involves a guardian of some sort). This is true especially when it comes to criticism. I will tell people their flaws (if they ask) but I really don't get any pleasure from it, and would rather not have to at all (that's what we have enimies for "love your enemies, for the tell you your faults." -Benjamin Franklin).

So I'm parent-free until Sunday. Woot! Know what I'm going to do? Watch Star Trek, read Geektastic and Discworld, and eat the candy and cookies my mom bought me and my brother. She also bought Wall*E and Pride and Predjudice and Zombies for me, and football cards for Devin. Actually, my mom said no friend over, so yeah.

I officially started my French course through Optimnem. I want to relearn French before I actuall go to France, and I don't think that a school's course will make up for my missing an entire year. I also kinda want to show up to class and completely dominate everyone in there with my awesometastic French speaking skizzlez. Then I can completely goof off in classes, since I want to be some what fluent by the time summer ends. Fluent as in drop me off in the middle of France (not Quebec) and I'll be able to find my way to the US embassy. It would be so eff-ing fantastic if I started to dream in french. Holy hell that would be awesome.

*Vulcan peace sign* I like that better than Vulcan hand sign.

As most of you are aware, I am quickly becoming obsessed with Star Trek... okay okay, already obsessed. While this is fine (and most of you encourage it), I'm getting worried. Generally, when I get obsessed with something, my behavior gets... worse: around my family I get more withdrawn and reclusive, like the typical teenager, while around my friends I'm more hyper and erratic. Basicly, my demeanor moves to its extremes (naturally around my family, I'm very calm and content with just hanging out, and around my friends I'm always chipper and bouncy with energy). I'm just worried that my budding Trekky-ness will turn out to be just as destructive as all my other fixations, which always results on my isolating myself from the object of my obsession, and I really enjoy being a Trekky, so I don't want that to be the case. But the good thing is that I know what to expect, so I can reign it in when I feel I'm becoming to fixated on it... hopefully, anyway. Sorry this journal is a bit of a downer...

I wish I could be the purple balloon in my emoticon, but replace the orange balloon with Spock...

And since I'm listening to this song right now, I'll post the lyrics:

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's time to change, hey, hey, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey, hey, hey
hey, hey, hey, hey

Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated

Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey, hey
mmmm.....
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there's room to grow, hey, hey, hey, hey
yea...

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the milky way
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you, even when I know you're wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone
Conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the milky way

Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated

Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself

nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

And did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day

nah nah nah nah nah nah
nah nah nah nah nah nah

And did you fall for a shooting star
Fall for a shooting star

nah nah nah nah nah nah
nah nah nah nah nah nah

Are you loney looking for yourself out there

I also watched three episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. I really enjoy them. They're more serious than the original series, which I watch more for comedy. Sarek (Spock's dear ol' dad) made an appearence in one of the episodes (he had a new wife, another human). This was a shock for me, since I didn't look at the episode description before I choose it, and when they announced that Ambassador Sarek and his new wife would be joining the crew on the U.S.S. Enterprise, I almost nearly squealed. He looked good for his age (he was 212 years old, which is old even by Vulcan standards). Spock was dead by then, which made me sad. I thought for a moment that my wish of seeing Spock and Data meet was going to come true, but oh well.

I also saw Up on Wednesday with Ed-Smith, akina-flower, and Ed-Smith's sister. What an amazing movie!! Not only was it cute, it also had a bit of a darker side to it, which made me fall in love with it completely. After the movie, we went to Target and I bought an old Dracula movie for $5.35. It has Gary Oldman as Dracula, Anthony Hopkins as Van Helsing (I think), Winona Ryder as Mina (again, not for sure) and Keanu Reeves as John Harker (guessing). I'm really happy that Hopkins and Reeves are in this, since they are both great actors in my opinion (especially Hopkins). My mom has seen this version and says its really gruesome (its rated R). I can't wait to see it. Of the little I've heard about it, it sounds like it closely follows the book.

My feet and wrists are killing me.

And my mood thing is being silly again. I'm not grumpy, just exhausted and achey.

Peace and Long Life (something Picard said to Sarek as he was seeing him off the Enterprise) *Vulcan hand sign*

Sorry that I use these journals mainly as a venting device. You must be really sick of hearing/reading about all of my complaints.

Oh, and Data has a cat named Spot. I imagine Spock would be allergic to cats.

I'm too lazy to study for my SAT any more so I'll do this.

Went to the meeting for National Honor Society. What a farce. Pikula is the biggest ditz I've seen over 16. we spent more time on what everyone's going to do over summer vacation than what NHS is about. For some reason, I thought people would have taken this a little more seriously.

So yeah. I'm the new president of the GSA. Whee! I'm kinda looking forward to it, except for the fact that almost none of the members want to actually get stuff done and just use it as a dating circle. Whatever. Me and Nick will whip their lazy asses into shape (albeit, he'll be doing it from afar).

I've kinda checked out of school and stopped caring. I know this is bad, but I have no drive to fix it. But It's kinda hard not to let your self slip when your "final" in one class is the easiest test in the whole semester, and another teacher says, in plain english, "Don't worry about the final test."(that was World Geography II and Ap Physics, respectively).

We're watching A Beautiful Mind in physics. It's about the guy who developed the Game Theory and his decline into schizophrenia. Game Theory, in a nut shell, says that in a game, if everyone acts according to their own self intrest instead of what's best for the team, there is a higher chance of success.

I've been trying to eat healthier lately to compensate from the fact I haven't been going to TKD that often. It's not a diet, just health consciousness. But there is cheesecake downstair...

Angels & Demons was satisfactory. For having not read the book in over a year, I think it was great.

Cheesecake...

I really want to meet this Kyle guy everyone seems to think is super awesome.

Yummy tuxedo cheesecake (with a name like that, how can it not be good).

I'm really sick of people giving me crap about becoming a Trekky after the movie, but you know what? Fuck off. So what if I did. It's not like this is a fad that will just wane with time. I thoroughly enjoy this series and intend to stick with it. I'm a little regretful it's taken me up til now to get into it, considering I've loved space ever since i was little (I knew all the planets, in order, before I was 6 years old) and my mom is a full blown Trekky. And does the fact that I'm a Trekky because of the movie make me any less of one? No. Any one who says different and wants to make me feel as if I don't deserve to be a Trekky can try and run, 'cause I will go so Vulcan on your mind, it'll make Spock shit himeself. Not even kidding, I'm really sick of it, so stop.

Screw it. I will have my cheesecake, and eat it too.

Yay I can finally change my mood thing. I'm not really in a sarcastic mood, but I am in the laugh-dryly-then-give-a-stoic-expresssion kind of mood.

Yup.

Live Long and Prosper. *Vulcan hand sign*

Saw Star Trek last friday. THAT MOVIE IS THE SHIT!! I'm not even kidding, I love that movie. LOVE IT~!! Me and Ed-Smith went to a movie-rental store and rented the only Star Trek movie they had, along with the Blair Witch Project (watched it later that night along with my brother) My favorite characters are Scottie with the Scottish accent, Russian guy whose accent is so think you can't understand him, and Spock (especially Spock). My mom has a bunch of Star Trek movies and I'm going to try and find the time to watch them all. I'm also trying to convince my AP Physics teacher to let us watch it as a class as a field trip. Speaking of AP Physics...

So my test completely kicked my butt. One of the Free-Responce Questions dealt with stuff we covered for literally 10 seconds. Another I had right, but they kept on asking what would happen if the mass of the object was raised or lowered. In my answer, mass doesnt affect anything, so I spent a really long time on it, and I still couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong (which was nothing). So peeved at that. Good thing was that we ordered pizza before hand as a class, then me and my family got DQ later. Worst 4 hours of my life (so far... isn't that a lovely thought).

Today in pottery I finally managed to make a bowl on the wheel (after a million unsuccessful attempts). YAY! I also accidently stabbed my self in the finger with a needle tool. Boo~. It wasn't that bad actually. It bled like you wouldn't believe. But it was fun to joke that I'm going to get gangrene or sepsis from all the clay that I got in it. Someone said I made their day. He later asked if I needed a band-aid and said he was sorry for laughing at me. I told him that when I die, he's the first I'm coming after (you're sometime soon after that).

Oh, and last weekend, Ed-Smith stayed the night (after Star Trek and the Blair Witch Project) and on Saturday I had a study party in preperation for the test. 2 people came. I invited 5. It was still good. We got a lot done, I thought. Also made lunch, which everyone loved.

Ah well C'est la vie.

Actually did some intense studying this weekend. Took a practice AP-Physics exam. 3 hours of well... physics. Nothing but physics. My head is killing me, but I like it. I'm proud of my self (which will change when I correct it to see how much I got wrong). I think I might be a brain masochist. I like this intense head ache I get from doing crap like this. It actually means I'm doing something. Whatever, I'm not in an introvertive mood, so I don't give a crap.

I also didn't eat healthy at all since friday and I don't feel to bad about it, because it's offset by my crash session with Physics and all the work around the house I did this weekend. I picked up every stick in the yard so my brother could mow, then me and my mom tore down a vine from an oak tree in our yard by hanging from it and letting our combined weight drag it down (sucker had been up there for years, since we moved in over 10 years ago, and it did not want to leave). Then we cleaned out our entire garage so my car will fit, which I'll getting in about 2 weeks. A black/dark-color-of-some-sort grand am, 2 door. I think the car might be my age or a few years my senior. Not even kidding, it was my grandma's, then my aunts, now mine. This car has history. But now that I think about it, I haven't been going to TKD like I used to, so I can't really eat like I have been and get away with it. Whatever...

I'd talk about my new deviation, but there isn't really much to say. Just a random writing I did a few weeks/months back. Also, people have already started commenting on it or faving it so yeah...

"I wake up every evening/with a big smile on my face/and it never feels out of place."

YAY NO MORE JOB DRAMA!!!

Went shopping and got a book for my mom for mother's day (Dreams from My Father by Obama, since she already has the Audacity of Hope). And I bought a book for myself, called It's Kind of a Funny Story (something told me it would be funny so I decided to get it). Its about a kid who tries to get into the perfect high school, to get in the perfect college so he can land the perfect job, and ends up nearly killig himself. He gets locked up in a lunatic asyleum with some real characters. If you guys are wondering why I am so weird, there you go. It's either my way of responding to pressure, and preventing my slef from cracking, or I already cracked and well, TA DA!! (I think its the latter) I shall read this story once I finish Tweak. After that I have to borrow Howl's Moving Castle from Ed-Smith and then its on to It's Kind of a Funny Story.

I have since finished The Once and Future King (yay Mordred the weirdo!) and Loveless (manga). Both were very good.

Okay, TOODLES!!

Don't worry, I'll still be updating my REVENGE OF THE PUNNERY journal. Just thought I'd warn you so you don't get to worrked up (because I know how much you all depend on it *pfft*).

At my Grandma's. I don't particularly like it here, becaue you can't have any space. Constantly with "What are you reading?" "What are you watching?" "What are you listening to?" If I'm reading or I have headphones in, that's a pretty good indication I really don't feel like talking. And these questions are always followed with blank stares and "What is that?" So then I have to take more time to explain exactly what is that I am doing. I get that they're trying to take an interest in my life, which is sweet. Annoying, but sweet (mostly annoying).

Now to the subject of the bitch-fest of a journal. So every time we (as in my entire family, excluding my mom because we're actually on the same page on an issue for once) get on the subject of jobs (or my lack there of), I get a huge lecture. First it was that I wasn't looking for a job. Second, it was because I was only getting applications for the places I want to work (instead of getting an application from any were that will take me). Yesterday, I applyed for a job for Best Buy. This has benefits for all of my family (namely, the employee discount), so I thought there would be no qualms about my choice. That was my first mistake. My second was when I said that I would only start working in June, after my ACT/SAT tests were done with, and would only work during them summer. Can you guess what happened next? I get a HUGE lecture on how I will never get a job with that/I need to be flexible/I was already working your age so you should have to too/you need a job you lazy bum. My responce to all of these is that I barely have enough hours in a week to make part-time, between trying bring my AP Physics grade up, bringing all my other grades up as a result of my only focusing on Physics and letting them slip, my day to day homework, any extra credit I can lay my hands on, and TKD three days a week from 6:30 to 8:00. On top of that, I go to Monticello every other weekend, so the only days I could work would be Wednesdays, and every other Friday, Saturday, and Sunday; all of which I use for homework. It doesn't mean ANYTHING to them. I really feel like smacking them, becuase I NEED good grades if I have any hope of getting a scholarship, which I have to have if I end up going where I want to go for college. I am going to get a job, I know that, I just don't have any time right now. I realize to whom I'm complaining to. Almost all of you are balancing school and a job. I just can't handle that extra helping on my already overflowing plate. *sigh* Shit...

Well, thanks for lisening/reading while I complained. Sorry if I got on your nerves with how much of a whiner/weiner I am.

EDIT THE SEVENTH:
9)~E-R-McMonty will probably mention this in a journal (since she came up with it), but I just want to do it in here because it is just that awesome.
"They should rename 'The Search for Spock' to 'Finding Nimoy'" Wouldn't that be AMAZING! It'd be even better than Nuclear Wessles!

EDIT THE SIXTH:
8) This is a quote by Chekov from Star Trek IV-The Voyage Home:
"We are looking for nulclear wessles! Where are the nucler wessles!!" Chekov's accent makes me laugh.

EDIT THE FIFTH:
7)I got this one in an email from my step-mom, who read it off the bottom of a snapple cap:

"The average smell weighs 760 nanograms."

To wrap your head around that, a gram is defined as one cubic centimeter (one milileter) of water. An easier example is that a U.S. nickle weighs 5 grams. Grab a nickle. Got it? Good. Divide that into 5 pieces. Okay, we're still together? Excellent. Now divide one of those five pieces in to a billion pieces, and you have a nanogram. Nine zeros. 1/1000000000. .000000001. 1x10^-9. That is a nano. Ever heard of nanobots? They make cells look like mountains. The wave length of light is measured in nanometers (and so are smells apperantly).

EDIT THE FORTH:
6)Jamaican Germans. That is all.

EDIT THE THIRD:
5)This is from my current obsession, The Book of Mordred. A little prelude first, to bring you up to speed. Sir Mordred just got done telling Nimue (Merlin's apprentance/lover and the one accused with his disappearence) why Sir Dunsten is being exiled (result of Arthur). Mordred is the bastard (as in illegitimate child) born of incest between King Arthur and his sister Morgause, and is destined to kill his father and bring about the collapse of the Round Table and Britian itself. Arthur only acknowledges Mordred as his nephew, something Mordred resents greatly.

He leaned closer to her. "What do you think of that, royal magician?"
"Arthur has always been like a father to me." She only meant that she would never speak against him. The words came out before she realized what she was saying, to whom she was saying it.
Something almost came through in his smile. "How nice for you." he purred.


EDIT THE SECOND: Thank you ~E-R-McMonty for the title suggestion. (Also, this is my 30th journal entry. Is that lame?)


EDIT: I'll probably continue to update this as I find new one, or if people tell me one that I want to share. And if anyone could think of a better title, I would love to hear it.



Here are some fuunny things that I've heard and would like to share:

1) This is a pun I heard in Julius Ceaser. My paraphrased version is just below it:

"You, sir, what trade are you?" "Truely, sir, in respect of a fine workman, I am but, as you would say, a cobbler." "But what trade art thou? Answer me directly." "A trade, sir, that I hope I may use with safe conscience, which is indeed, sir, a mender of bad soles." Elizabethian English. Gotta love it.

"Hello, good sir, what are you?" "I am a the most holy of professions: a cobbler." "But what do you do?" "I am a mender of bad soles." *slaps knee* Who knew Shakespear was good at puns?

2) Courtesy of my physics teacher:

A positive particle is talking to a neutral particle. "Hey, I think I lost an electron!!" "Are you sure?" "Yes, I'm positive!" Physics puns pwn. (Bonus points for alliteration!)

3) Chapter heading for chapter 4 of "Leven Thumbs and the Wrath of Ezra" by Skye:

"Look at Me, I'm a Chapter Heading"

4) By your's truely:

"Men are not measured in feet, but inches." That goes for you too, ladies.

EDIT: Went up north to Pokegama and watched riding lawnmower races on ice. They were cool. There was one that was basicly a motorbike with the front body of a lawnmower. Another was so fixed up, it didn't even look like a lawn mower, more like a mini dragster. There was another that was so little and it had this huge (not as in fat, but muscular) guy on it, and it beat everyone he went up against. I don't know which of these three won because we left before it finished. Then we went home and watched I Am Legend. OH MY GOD!! So amazing! My palms were sweating at all the scary/suspenseful parts. And I got all teary-eyed when he had to kill Sam and at the end when he save Anna and Ethan. Anyone who hasn't seen it should totally rent it and watch it with all the light off and curtains drawn. You'll be sleeping with a knife and night light for the next week.

Hullo (you: Hi?). Mostly doing this because I was sick of looking at BA-HUMBUG everytime I went on to my profile. So, my third deviation. Not that great, it's just an assignment for school. Figured I'd post it on here for critiquing (<--- that's too many i's for one word). Feel free to completely ignore my deviation (you can ignore this journal too, but since you already started it, you might as well finish it. Excelsior! I have trapped you in my trap! Wahahahaha~!! I promise not to drag it out to long... maybe) and not critique it what-so-ever. School's out tomorrow. WHEE~!! *runs around and flaps arms like "Hysterical" emoticon* Those of you who see me on a somewhat daily basis, know that I actually do that (minus the falling down). And people usually give me that same look (minus that cartoon sweat drop). Okay, back to what I was saying... er, typing. That means I can catch up on sleep and homework! Woop-oop-oop-oop-oop! (<--- that was supposed to be a Dr. Zoidburg impression, but it didn't go that well, especially since you can't actually hear it). Alright, I'm done. See, it wasn't that much more to read; aren't you glad you finished it? Yeah, you are. Now go read my story. I promise it's not that long either, and it may or may not awaken that inner-child we're all supposed (I've used that word twice already in one journal. Hmmm...) to have. If it doesn't wake it up, at least it'll roll-over. Okay, now I'm done. Guess this ended up being kinda long. I'm sorry. Not really (maybe a little on the inside). I should go ask Tom...

And I put the info boxes at the bottom this time, instead of at the top, like I usually do. Changin' it up a bit!

She's back!! *applause* So I'm back after nearly two weeks of being grounded off the compooper. I was irresponsible and I deserved it, which made this punishment a whole lot easier to bear. But it's still great to be back on dA, don't get me wrong. The good thing about not being on the computer, is that I finally had the time to finish A Game of Thrones. What a good book!! It was amazing, especially the ending. Nothing else has really been going on in my life that's worth mentioning.

Now to answer my 40 messages and look at my 18 deviations... *shoots self*

P.S I've noticed that all of the books from George R. R. Martin's series start with "A". A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows, even the name of the series, A Song of Ice and Fire. What's up with that?

Book 8 ends on chapter 70, FYI. I will tell you all one thing though: Integra’s a GIRL!! Shock, I know. Who’da thunk it right...

I'm in a happy place right now.

1) Yesterday, I got the urge to finish reading Hellsing: The Dawn and it was AWESOME!! It made me laugh so hard. The two main characters are Alucard and Walter. It takes place 50 years before the original series. Walter is a mouthy teenager, which a constant souce of amusement for me, because in Hellsing he's very proper and, well... very British. He actualy called The Major a Fat Tub of Lard. And it doesn't hurt that he's super cute. And Alucard looks like a girl, a very young adorable girl. That's weird to say the least.

2) I found a new favorite artist on DA. Her name is *ursulav and she is one of the most amazing artists. One of my favorites are the Phalloi, or tiny, winged penises with clawed feet (either lion or dog) and sometimes genitals of their own *snort*. They were worn by the Greeks and Romans of all age groups and genders as good luck charms. And you got to admit, they're kinda cute. My favorite phalloi is titled Morning Wood, and its a phalloi holding a cup of coffee in its paw. The artist says if she makes it into a Valentine card, it would say "You get me up in the morning." Tee hee! But that's not the only stuff she does. There's many other great works of art that don't involve genitals of any kind (and some that do). Go check them out! Do it or I will come to your house and take a single bite out of all your food! MWAHAHAHAHA~!!

Hope everyone had a good time at my Halloween party. Kinda bummed that we didn't have a bonfire, but watching Monte Python and the Holy Grail definitely made up for it. [link]

Went to Target today and picked up two book's, one of which I am reading now. I know that I should be reading A Game of Thrones but Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist told me scary things would happen if I didn't devour it by tonight. So far it is awesome and makes me think of Ed-Smith for some reason. The other book I got is The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. This one isn't saying that dust bunnies will shred my curtains and eat the last of my puppy chow if I don't read it so I think I'll save it until after I read Thrones. Funny thing is, both the books I bought today were made into movies. Hmmm... maybe when I'm done I'll go rent them. I'm suprised The Secret isn't filling my head with grotesque (yay, vocab word!) prophecies, because I usually can't stand not to know a secret. Well maybe I've matured(pfft, whatever). But the book will still be here, along with this huge secret that can supposedly "...bring joy to every aspect of your life." Okay, see most of you Monday!!

P.S. If you were wondering about the title of this journal, it's a band that plays a HUGE part in Nick and Norah's "relationship".

P.P.S. Tina, I saw this and thought of you.

EDIT: Finished Nick & Norah's so my puppy chow and curtains are safe. It's an awesome book and I definitely recommend it. If any of you want to read it, feel free to ask.

I hate that I can't change my mood emoticon. Grrr~!

In Ap Physics we're taking a test and I'm actually doing well. I just realized how I can finish a problem. That may not seem like much, but I can usually start a problem in the right direction, but some where along the way, I get completely turned around and I mess everything up. But on this test, I actually get the problems and can come up with reasonable answers that I'm pretty sure are right. AP Physics is starting to make sense and isn't stressing me out as much.

In band, we were paying The Olympic Fanfare and we stopped and Mr. Fogderud told Santi to be louder with the bass drum. Then he got into an entertaining story about a 19th century composser who had the unfortunate ability to predict death in his pieces. In the 19th century, works of music generally had a story line (think Faust), and this guy used death in all of his. He wrote a symphony called To the Death of Children(or something like that) and after it was released, all his children died. In his last symphony, the hero is dealt the Three Blows of Fate. To signify the Blows, they used an giant wooden box and the person would strike it with a huge wooden mallet. So you see this one guy sit on his butt for 45 minutes then he gets up, pulls out this ridiculously huge hammer (and at this point you know its going to be something good) and he heaves it and swings it down on the box as hard as he can. He does this three times for each Blow of Fate. Ironic thing was, after this was performed, the composser lost his job, all of his money, then died. Mr. Fogderud concludes by saying "All of this just to say more bass. So Santi more bass, but not too much." Yay overly long explinations!

Physics is still hard but I feel better about it because I'm not the only one having troubles.

Drawing 1 is super fun. I love this class and I am so happy I'm finally taking it.

I skipped a class on Thursday so now my entire family is mad at me, except for my brother who doesn't really care one way or the other. The reason I skipped was because I was really getting stressed out with different things in my life and just needed to get away for a bit. And it helped. Since I skipped, everything I was worrying about seems so trivial.

Other than that, life is pretty good right now.

Yep.

The Martinez Family of Albuquerque, New Mexico!

On January 15, 2007, the Martinez family of Albuquerque, NM was surprised to receive the news that Ty and the gang of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" will be transforming their insufficient, run-down duplex used as a refuge for the needy and homeless into a larger and safe home for their family in a remarkable seven days.

When Gerald Martinez was offered a job at a local church in Albuquerque, he quickly moved his family of seven from Colorado to New Mexico. Before moving to New Mexico, Gerald spent much of his time making trips to help the troubled communities of Albuquerque. Instead of moving into a safe neighborhood for his wife Liesa and seven kids, Gerald moved his family into a run-down duplex that was just minutes away from the church.

In a neighborhood of crime, drug deals, and prostitution, Gerald began transforming the church into a refuge for the needy. This refuge included a café, daycare facility, and working bathroom with showers so the homeless had a place to clean up. The community welcomed the Martinez family and was very grateful for all of their hard work. However, there were some members that did not take a liking to Gerald and even attacked him with a glass bottle in front of his own house.

Still, Gerald managed to work together with the community and quickly transformed an area once called "the War Zone" into a new and better place now called "God's Block." As crime rates decreased and the community began getting media attention, Gerald purchased two other duplexes that would be used to create the "Mission Outpost," a place where broken people could recover from their troubles. With an open door policy, many people were making use of the Outpost. The Martinez family was finally connecting with their neighbors, but they also began to lose their own family privacy.

Soon enough, the family began to undergo financial difficulties as well, considering they do not charge rent. Although the family has made a great impact on the transformed community, they do not have enough space for themselves to live in. They don't have a working stove and use hot plates to do their cooking. With little privacy and on the verge of financial ruin, the Martinez family is in severe need of a new and safe home where they can continue their mission to save the town of Trumbull.

While Ty and the designers, local homebuilder Atreus Homes & Communities, and the hundreds of volunteers and workers are rebuilding their home, the Martinez family will go on vacation to Walt Disney World.

The episode "Martinez Family" will air during the 2008 season.

The location address is: 404 Grove Street SE, Albuquerque, NM 87108.

They did a phenominal job. The eldest daughter got an older, more romantic decor, the son got a room where he could climb on everything (theres even steps on the walls and huge beams). The second-to-youngest daughter got a room that featured Stomp and the youngest daughter got Paris, because she's always wanted to go to Paris. That was the best episode I had ever seen. I nearly cried.

I'm sad the Summer Olympics are done. I love the Olympics because for a little over two weeks, the world gets together to compete and it can forget about wars and violence for a few days and can cheer on their country as it goes for gold. China had to be the best Summer Olympics I've seen. They did an amazing job, from the stadiums to the opening and closing ceremonies (Jakie Chan was singing at the end). Some of my favorite parts of the games was cheering on Michael Phelps as he went on to win 8 gold metals, the most ever, and when the American basket ball team won gold and they all put their medals on the coach, one by one. As Dwayne Wade said "It has nothing to do with the name on the back of the jersey, but everything to do with the three letters on the front."

Has anyone ever noticed that "Yagami" backwards is "I'm a gay".

Today being Halloween, I decided to fuck with the major retard at school when I came out of science for break. He was dressed as Ash. Knowing this was going to happen, I brough a Mudkips doll. Thus I started the conversation, making sure no one saw me.

"So I heard you like Mudkips..." "Mudkips? I LUUUUUUUUUUUUVE MUDKIPS." "O RLY? So, would you ever fuck a Mudkips, that is.." (he cuts me off before I could said 'if you were a mudkips' ) "OF COURSE." "Well I just happen to have a Mudkips here, and."

Before I finished the sentence, which would have resulted in me hitting him across the face with the doll, he grabbed it. In one swift motion his pants were down and he was violenly humping it. Not to get between a man and his Mudkips I started to walk away, because there is no way I'd be caught wrestling a half-naked crazy guy humping a Mudkips.

Needles to say, within 5 to 10 seconds, some girls saw him and started screaming. I cooly walked into a restroom, pretending nothing had ever happened; not that I had intended that outcome, but now that it was in play I didn't want to be involved.

I came back two minutes later, and like any wanton act on school grounds there was now a huge crowd round him. He was still fucking it and baying this real fucked up 'EEEEEEEEEEINNNNF EEEEEEEEEEINNNF' sound. Suddenly a scuffle broke out in the middle, meaning he probably did something stupid.

I asked someone what had happened. A girlfriend of one of the football players tried to get him to stop, but he bit her for trying to take it away. Someone called in a few football players (all dressed up like Road Warrior) who proceeded to pummel the shit out of the guy. Meanwhile the school police were freaking out and having trouble getting in to the situation.

A few minutes later the intruder alarm went off and we were shuffled into classrooms. Over the intercom the principal announced that someone had thrown a flaming plush toy into the library. Uh.. what the hell.

So we were kept there and about 30 minutes later the principal came on again. This time he was saying that whoever was behind the beating should turn themselves in. All of a sudden this woman began yelling "I WILL SUE YOU FOR DAMAGES. YOU LITTLE PUNKS, I'M GONNA SUE..." and it was cut off.

I asked an office later what had happened. Apparently his mother had come to pick him up and threatened to sue for the beating and 'whatever else happened.' The school threatened to counter-sue because of lewd conduct, inciting a riot, and starting a fight.

So I ask you: do you like Mudkips?
I hath heardth that thou liketh kips of the mud.
Mudkips. I heard you like them.

See, I told you it was funny.

EDIT: (12)ok, so i watched the final episode of Book 3 of Avatar yesterday and it was good. aang went avatar on Ozai's ass and managed to defeat him with out killing him. that was cool. during the last moments of the battle aang went into his avatar state only this time he was a 100 time more powerful than the previous times (i think its because he mastered all four elements and was a true avatar). he had a representation of all the elements around him at once. he was inside a air sphere and inside that, surronding him, was a water ring and small, dense rocks orbiting him. on the outside of the sphere he had another ring made of fire (ha ha ring of fire...). i said aang looked much older at that moment and my brother suprised me by being incredibly funny. he said in the most serious face a thirteen year old boy can have "well, you know what they say, the element bubble adds ten pounds." i could not stop laughing and i missed the last part because of it so i had to watch it later (aang pulled some cool avatar jutsu out of his ass that the giant lion-turtle taught him). (13)something happened today to make me extremely happy. i was making myself a bowl of ice cream (chocolate) and was opening a new jar of hot fudge. i set the cap down and put the jar in the microwave to make the hot fudge hot. i picked up the lid and turned it... ]]> ~Melusedek http://Melusedek.deviantart.com/journal/19180326/ http://Melusedek.deviantart.com/journal/19180326/ Thu, 03 Jul 2008 08:58:55 PDT

He took her into the nearby forest and tried to make her part of his group by giving her the black marks that identified her as one of them. she refused and he tried to kill her but she was able to stop it with her water jutsu but at the cost of her memories. The truama had caused the front of her once solid grey hair to become white. she ran away and collapsed from exhaustion. she was found in a forest near konoha with a sun headband by naruto. At first she wasnt trusted because of her black tatoos but she proved herself loyal. kichi and kokua both become good friends and consider them selves sisters. whew... i realize this is really long and im sorry if it wasted your time but i wanted to get her full story out there. this is the first time i've really explained her past and how she met kokua.
