                <description><![CDATA[ All right, so with this new computer, I don't know. Photoshop does not work. =/ It just...I dunno. Says I can't use it. So no more Photoshop. I don't know what I'm gonna do. T^T<br /><br />So I have this picture that I like using as my psudo-novel-cover for the story I've been working on since last NaNoWriMo. It is called Crown of Roses, and it is a romance novel, based on a weird fantasy mix of dramatized elements from my life and the love I've experienced in it. And by fantasy I mean it is only loosely based, so don't take it for my life story or anything. =/<br /><br />Anyway, I really want to turn this picture I have into color, but seeing that I don't have photoshop, that isn't very possible. I was wondering, I could ask some of you who read my journals for help? My good friends?<br /><br />If there is more than one taker, I will be very happy. Maybe I could do a contest, draw thank-you pictures for those who participate, and a special picture for the one I'd like to use as my psudo-cover and for my second favorite? It all depends on how many of you would like to try it out. ^^ I hope I have takers.<br /><br /><a href="http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs33/f/2008/307/f/b/Care_For_You_by_PhantomClark.jpg">[link]</a><br /><br />So here it is. Umm...maybe if it is possible, when you color, you can change some things to make it better? I dunno, hahah. But I drew it a year ago and I realize some of the hands look weird, his neck collar is angled wrong, and my roses just look weird.<br /><br />Jaden: Light brown hair, blue eyes. Clothes are red, white, and some silver. His coat, for example, I think should be scarlet red.<br /><br />Lillea: Dark brown/reddish hair. Think like dark chocolate with a mix of cherries. And brown eyes. Her colors don't matter very much, but some red in there for good measure would be nice.<br /><br />The flowers are red. They are supposed to be "Mist Roses", they look like roses, except they don't grow in bushes, don't have thorns, or things like that. Basically they are roses with regular stems/leaves.<br /><br />So yeah...let me know if you are interested pweeze? <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Wow, I'm actually starting to feel like a popular artist. Everyday I get more and more faves that it's hard to thank everyone now!! And I'm already halfway to 30k PVs, holy cow!!<br /><br />I'm totally going to continue to put out my best stuff for everyone to enjoy.<br /><br />Hah so this summer I have a number of things to do:<br /><br />-Stain wooden boards for the cabin to make money<br />-Attend meetings for Young Woman Camp and work on the prep<br />-Draw concepts for Justin's characters<br />-Help dad with cooking/Practice with sister for Greiner Family Cookoff<br />-Work on Japanese online class<br />-Do summer homework<br /><br />Ugg. Hopefully I can do everything up to par, because I can't NOT do any one of those things, they are all equally important! Especially the cooking, because he's going through chemo again and gets really sick and can't cook. Also, we're traveling A LOT back and forth to the cabin up by Oroville, so that's like 2.5 hours each way. Dad needs me do drive sometimes. I've gotten a lot of freeway practice! Think I'm ready for my driver test?<br /><br />Anyway, keeping busy! Gotta go make dinner now, laters!<br /><br /><3 You all!<br /><br />~Amie<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So yeah! It's been a couple months since I've written a journal. Haha, well I don't have many interesting things to say.<br /><br />Lately I've been super busy, since I'm competing for Tracy Junior Miss. If you don't know, the Junior Miss program is a pageant for scholarships. Things like talent, poise, interview, and physical are what we are judged on. Haha, I'm a pageant girl now...<br /><br />I'm also doing a lot of work for money, like doing posters for the theatre in town. Blah, it's annoying, but good pay, so I can't complain.<br /><br />My sister's wedding is also coming up is 34 days. Still need my dress hemmed...<br /><br />And with all the sewing mom has to do for the wedding, and considering I still need help with some of my costumes, Fanime is coming soon after the wedding, and I hope Yuna Songstress and Arietta will be done!!! I've got most of them finished, just need things like Yuna's shirt and skirt made, and Arietta's shirt, underskirt, cover shirt, and boots done. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> Accessories are finished!<br /><br />Gah so much to do so much to do.....T^T<br /><br /><br />-----<br /><br /><br /> <a href="http://phantomclark.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/h/phantomclark.gif" alt=":iconphantomclark:" title="phantomclark"/></a> <a href="http://thelastmoonelf.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/thelastmoonelf.gif" alt=":iconthelastmoonelf:" title="thelastmoonelf"/></a><br /> <a href="http://chosenplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/h/chosenplz.gif" alt=":iconchosenplz:" title="chosenplz"/></a> <a href="http://sheenaplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/h/sheenaplz.gif" alt=":iconsheenaplz:" title="sheenaplz"/></a><br /><br />-----<br /><br />Buds I know in real life~<br /><br /><a href="http://thelastmoonelf.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/thelastmoonelf.gif" alt=":iconthelastmoonelf:" title="thelastmoonelf"/></a> <a href="http://jacksgirlfriend.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/j/a/jacksgirlfriend.gif" alt=":iconjacksgirlfriend:" title="jacksgirlfriend"/></a> <a href="http://0niros.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/0/n/0niros.gif" alt=":icon0niros:" title="0niros"/></a> <a href="http://anandama-pandama.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/n/anandama-pandama.jpg?2" alt=":iconanandama-pandama:" title="anandama-pandama"/></a> <a href="http://general08.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/e/general08.gif" alt=":icongeneral08:" title="general08"/></a> <a href="http://rainbowpanda76.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/r/a/rainbowpanda76.gif?1" alt=":iconrainbowpanda76:" title="rainbowpanda76"/></a> <a href="http://fallennightangel.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/f/a/fallennightangel.gif" alt=":iconfallennightangel:" title="fallennightangel"/></a> <a href="http://raezyn101.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/r/a/raezyn101.gif?2" alt=":iconraezyn101:" title="raezyn101"/></a> <a href="http://darminia.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/darminia.gif" alt=":icondarminia:" title="darminia"/></a> <a href="http://49thidentity.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/4/9/49thidentity.png" alt=":icon49thidentity:" title="49thidentity"/></a><br /><br /><br />Buds from online~<br /><br /><a href="http://kelbora.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/e/kelbora.gif?2" alt=":iconkelbora:" title="kelbora"/></a> <a href="http://song-of-a-phoenix.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/o/song-of-a-phoenix.jpg" alt=":iconsong-of-a-phoenix:" title="song-of-a-phoenix"/></a> <a href="http://prince-of-ale.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/r/prince-of-ale.jpg" alt=":iconprince-of-ale:" title="prince-of-ale"/></a> <a href="http://sareiko.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/a/sareiko.jpg" alt=":iconsareiko:" title="sareiko"/></a> <a href="http://xxcleoxlionxx.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/x/x/xxcleoxlionxx.gif?1" alt=":iconxxcleoxlionxx:" title="xxcleoxlionxx"/></a><br /><br />Clubs~<br /><br /><a href="http://god-generals.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/o/god-generals.gif" alt=":icongod-generals:" title="god-generals"/></a> <a href="http://sync-x-arietta.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantar... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone!<br /><br />Wow, look at that, I'm almost at 8k Pageviews, I feel like a star! xDDDD <br /><br />Anyway, I suppose a lot of my fans like reading my stories, and don't worry, I haven't forgotten about Like Clockwork. More is coming, it's just that inspiration is hard to come by.<br /><br />I also had an idea for an original story that I'd like to try soon, so yeah. As soon as I get out of this bad case of writer's block, I'll see what I can do. ^^<br /><br />This summer has been so boring recently, though! My goodness, but I still need to catch up on my summer reading list. T_T Eww, classic books. But at least I've had fun this past week. Playing Tales of the Abyss for the second time and getting all the sidequests. xD<br /><br />But anyway, yeah, I'm not that dead, I'll post some chapters soon. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br /><br /> <a href="http://phantomclark.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/h/phantomclark.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconphantomclark:" title="phantomclark"/></a> <a href="http://thelastmoonelf.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/thelastmoonelf.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconthelastmoonelf:" title="thelastmoonelf"/></a><br /> <a href="http://chosenplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/h/chosenplz.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconchosenplz:" title="chosenplz"/></a> <a href="http://sheenaplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/h/sheenaplz.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsheenaplz:" title="sheenaplz"/></a><br /><br />-----<br /><br />Buds I know in real life~<br /><br /><a href="http://thelastmoonelf.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/thelastmoonelf.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconthelastmoonelf:" title="thelastmoonelf"/></a> <a href="http://jacksgirlfriend.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/j/a/jacksgirlfriend.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconjacksgirlfriend:" title="jacksgirlfriend"/></a> <a href="http://0niros.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/0/n/0niros.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icon0niros:" title="0niros"/></a> <a href="http://anandama-pandama.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/n/anandama-pandama.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconanandama-pandama:" title="anandama-pandama"/></a> <a href="http://general08.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/e/general08.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongeneral08:" title="general08"/></a> <a href="http://rainbowpanda76.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/r/a/rainbowpanda76.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconrainbowpanda76:" title="rainbowpanda76"/></a> <a href="http://fallennightangel.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/f/a/fallennightangel.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconfallennightangel:" title="fallennightangel"/></a> <a href="http://raezyn101.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/r/a/raezyn101.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconraezyn101:" title="raezyn101"/></a> <a href="http://darminia.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/darminia.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondarminia:" title="darminia"/></a><br /><br /><br />Buds from online~<br /><br /><a href="http://kelbora.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/e/kelbora.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkelbora:" title="kelbora"/></a> <a href="http://song-of-a-phoenix.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/o/song-of-a-phoenix.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsong-of-a-phoenix:" title="song-of-a-phoenix"/></a> <a href="http://prince-of-ale.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/r/prince-of-ale.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconprince-of-ale:" title="prince-of-ale"/></a> <a href="http://sareiko.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/a/sareiko.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsareiko:" title="sareiko"/></a> <a href="http://xxcleoxlionxx.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/x/x/xxcleoxlionxx.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconxxcleoxlionxx:" title="xxcleoxlionxx"/></a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello everyone, and a happy new year to you all! ^_^ Happy 2008, I'm glad to be able to live to this new year, so very glad! I've made new friends, learned new talents, and grown close to so many people! Just to let you all know, I love you all! Even if you aren't a close friend, or if you are just a fan, I love you all the same! I want everyone to know...I love them all so much. Just by meeting you, my life has changed even in the slightest.<br /><br />So I'm happy the way things are right now, even if things don't go to well. Because I have friends like you to back me up, telling me it's ok, and that my tears are my own, and I shouldn't waste them. Live life to the fullest, but don't be stupid and careless! What I mean is to be kind to EVERYONE you meet! Talk to people you wouldn't normally talk to! I know someone like that, and he changed my life, even if I only knew him for a week. Please everyone, love as much as you can, because you'll never know who's life you will change.<br /><br />Also, go after those goals you have put off until now! Now is the best time to start those. It's a new beginning, start it off right! Make a New Year's Resolution. I've never done one before, but it will be fun to have a little checklist this year!<br /><br />-Kiss a hot boy, even if I don't know his name~ ;D<br />-Learn and memorize ALL Hiragana and Katakana characters!<br />-Finish my huge 'Bishonen' project picture~<br />-Be able to draw in a new perspective!<br />-Memorize 5 J-pop/J-rock songs!<br /><br />Make a resolution, and have fun! ^_^ A happy new year to all of you, and may your year be filled with much love, joy, and fortune. <3<br /><br />~Amelia, AKA Phantom Clark<br /><br /><br />-----<br /><br />Buds I know in Real Life~<br /><br /><a href="http://thelastmoonelf.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/thelastmoonelf.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconthelastmoonelf:" title="thelastmoonelf"/></a> <a href="http://jacksgirlfriend.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/j/a/jacksgirlfriend.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconjacksgirlfriend:" title="jacksgirlfriend"/></a> <a href="http://ninetailed-nightmare.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/n/i/ninetailed-nightmare.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconninetailed-nightmare:" title="ninetailed-nightmare"/></a> <a href="http://anandama-pandama.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/n/anandama-pandama.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconanandama-pandama:" title="anandama-pandama"/></a> <a href="http://general08.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/e/general08.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongeneral08:" title="general08"/></a> <a href="http://rainbowpanda76.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/r/a/rainbowpanda76.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconrainbowpanda76:" title="rainbowpanda76"/></a> <a href="http://fallennightangel.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/f/a/fallennightangel.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconfallennightangel:" title="fallennightangel"/></a> <a href="http://raezyn101.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/r/a/raezyn101.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconraezyn101:" title="raezyn101"/></a> <a href="http://darminia.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/darminia.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondarminia:" title="darminia"/></a><br /><br /><br />Buds from online~<br /><br /><a href="http://kelbora.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/e/kelbora.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkelbora:" title="kelbora"/></a> <a href="http://song-of-a-phoenix.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/o/song-of-a-phoenix.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsong-of-a-phoenix:" title="song-of-a-phoenix"/></a> <a href="http://prince-of-ale.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/r/prince-of-ale.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconprince-of-ale:" title="prince-of-ale"/></a> <a href="http://sareiko.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/a/sareiko.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsareiko:" title="sareiko"/></a><br /><br />-----<br /><br />100 Themes are...<br />1.

Secret Santa: I would really love fan art of my fanfic The Melodious Nocturne ! ^_^ You don't have to read it totally, but just an idea. Go through my gallery, and get an idea. Something lovey-dovey, and it doesn't have to be in-story either. It could be christmas themed too! Just something with Amelia and Demyx. <3<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I should, but I'm not. Ugg.<br />
<br />
So I have decided that summer school sucks, but I think I'll be able to handle it if it means I get to take Graphic Arts next year. Oh well, I'll say goodbye to my summer...<br />
<br />
At least this summer is still pretty fun. I've got money. I've got a new sun dress. I've been swimming. I've been to the beach (on a lake), I've been boating, I'm going camping, and I'll be going out-of-state (Yay EFY! BYU Utah! Yahoo!).<br />
<br />
Even if I STILL haven't started my summer reading, I'll be all right, right? *Nervous laughter*<br />
<br />
You know what would be awesome? If I had tons of fans on DA. xDD<br />
<br />
Oh yah, and everyone should watch the Tales of Symphonia OVA. It's the anime of the best game ever. Srsly.<br />
<br />
Okay, and here are the lyrics to a song I can't get enough of. It has so much truth in it, and it's really beautiful:<br />
<br />
From the musical "Wicked"<br />
Artist: Idina Menzel<br />
Song: I'm Not That Girl<br />
<br />
Hands touch, eyes meet<br />
Sudden silence, sudden heat<br />
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl<br />
He could be that boy<br />
But I'm not that girl:<br />
<br />
<b>Don't dream too far<br />
Don't lose sight of who you are</b><br />
Don't remember that rush of joy<br />
He could be that boy<br />
I'm not that girl<br />
<br />
Ev'ry so often we long to steal<br />
To the land of what-might-have-been<br />
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel<br />
When reality sets back in<br />
<br />
Blithe smile, lithe limb<br />
She who's winsome, she wins him<br />
Gold hair with a gentle curl<br />
That's the girl he chose<br />
And Heaven knows<br />
I'm not that girl<br />
<br />
<b>Don't wish, don't start<br />
Wishing only wounds the heart</b><br />
I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl<br />
There's a girl I know<br />
He loves her so<br />
I'm not that girl<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ YEAH!!! School is finally at an end!! Finals are finished, and it's time to start off summer with an awesome birthday! And after Fanime last weekend (Fanime 07 collage coming soon!), I'm totally pumped!<br />
<br />
There's still the fact that I haven't seen Matt in about a month now, but it's nothing I haven't gotten through before. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> I'll just have to wait. As long as I remember he's still thinking of me and missing me as much as I miss him right now, I'm fine!<br />
<br />
So I guess I'll write about Fanime in the description of the collage. What now? Well I guess I could tell you about my birthday. ^-^;;<br />
<br />
The party will be awesome this year, just like last year. Though instead of just having those sleep over come, I'm also inviting a few others (And some guy friends from school *gasp*). Hah I think it's funny that almost all of the guys from school I know think I hate them because when they try to act all nice I diss them on the spot. xD It's annoying. I think I'm much more used to just acting like a guy around guys. (And even sometimes around Matt...or is that the geekiness? xDD)<br />
<br />
But whatever, the more the merrier/presents. xD I'm not greedy, really! I've only just thought about that...>-> *Cough* Anyways! Back to what's going on. ^_^<br />
<br />
I'm working on a CD to play with a bunch of techno. It's Amie's B-Day Par-tay Techno Remix Disc Numero Dos! For the rave of course. I'm getting a whole bunch a glow sticks for it just like last time. We're also gonna make s'mores in the firepit in the back yard, and go in the hot tub. And DDR, and Guitar Hero II possibly (If mom lets me open it at the party until waiting for the 6th)! So yeah. It shall be awesome. I wish I could invite everyone, but I can't. ^_^;; Oh well, I don't have that many close friends. xDD Only....6. xDD<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And as always.... I LOVE YOU MATT-MATT! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> <a href="http://mattdyet.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/a/mattdyet.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmattdyet:" title="mattdyet"/></a> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />
<br />
P.S. I was listening to Hey There Dalilah and decided to change the words, what do you think? xDD Every time I hear this song now, I'm gonna think of these words instead of the real lyrics. xD Oh well, I like this one better... And I only did it in Matt's PoV because of the "Two more years and you'll be done with school" Would apply to me because in Three years I want to go to him...<br />
<br />
P.P.S. I'm gonna practice the fingering to this song over this summer and get it perfect. Thank goodness this is all acoustic. I loke the sound of acoustic guitars. ^_^<br />
<br />
Hey there Amelia<br />
What's it like in California?<br />
I'm nine thousand miles away<br />
But girl tonight you look so pretty<br />
Yes you do<br />
Noon sun can't shine as bright as you<br />
I swear it's true<br />
<br />
Hey there Amelia<br />
Don't you worry about the distance<br />
I'm right there if you get lonely<br />
Give this picture another look and<br />
Close your eyes<br />
Listen to my voice it's my disguise<br />
I'm by your side<br />
<br />
Oh it's what you do to me<br />
Oh it's what you do to me<br />
Oh it's what you do to me<br />
Oh it's what you do to me<br />
What you do to me<br />
<br />
Hey there Amelia<br />
I know times are getting hard<br />
But just believe me girl<br />
Someday I'll pay the bills with this tablet<br />
We'll have it good<br />
We'll have the life we knew we would<br />
My word is good<br />
<br />
Hey there Amelia<br />
I've got so much left to say<br />
If every simple pic I drew for you<br />
Would take your breath away<br />
I'd draw it all<br />
Even more in love with me you'd fall<br />
We'd have it all<br />
<br />
Oh it's what you do to me<br />
Oh it's what you do to me<br />
Oh it's what you do to me<br />
Oh it's what you do to me<br />
<br />
Nine thousand miles seems pretty far<br />
But they've got planes and trains and cars<br />
I'd swim to you if I had no other way<br />
Our friends would all make fun of us<br />
and we'll just laugh along because we know<br />
That none of them have felt this way<br />
Amelia I can promise you<br />
That by the time we get through<br />
The world will never ever be the same<br />
And you're to blame<br />
<br />
Hey there Amelia<br />
You be good and don't you miss me<br />
Three more years and you'll be done with school<br />
And I'll be making history like I do<br />
You know it's all because of you<br />
We can do whatever we want to<br />
Hey there Amelia here's to you<br />
This ones for you<br />
<br />
Oh it's what you do to me... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I have a song, I'd like to share. It really kind of fits me right now. Here are the lyrics.<br />
<br />
<br />
In this world you tried<br />
Not leaving me alone behind<br />
There's no other way<br />
I'll pray to the sky that he'll stay<br />
The memories ease the pain inside,<br />
Now I know why<br />
<br />
All of my memories keep you near<br />
In silent moments<br />
Imagine you here.<br />
All of my memories keep you near,<br />
Your silent whispers, silent tears<br />
<br />
Made me promise I'd try<br />
To find my way back in this life<br />
I hope there is a way<br />
To give me a sign you're okay<br />
Reminds me again it's worth it all<br />
So I can go home<br />
<br />
All of my memories keep you near<br />
In silent moments<br />
Imagine you here<br />
All of my memories keep you near<br />
Your silent whispers, silent tears<br />
<br />
Together in all these memories<br />
I see your smile<br />
All the memories I hold dear<br />
Darling, you know I'll love you<br />
till the end of time<br />
<br />
All of my memories keep you near<br />
In silent moments,<br />
Imagine you here<br />
All of my memories keep you near,<br />
Your silent whispers, silent tears<br />
<br />
All of my memories...<br />
<br />
<br />
It fits with my situation right now, because well, I hardly ever see Matt, and I have to go one for months just replaying memories in my head, imagining he's here. All of the lyrics pretty much explain it. Not much to say...<br />
<br />
Here is a <a href="http://www.supload.com/listen?s=SC4ExfxkFja">[link]</a> to listen to the song directly.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Have you ever heard of the story of a maiden who was in love with a man, and before they were to wed, he was sent off across the sea to a war? The maiden stayed upon the cliff top, waiting patiently. She didn't sleep. She didn't eat. She stayed true to him. But he was killed in the war, and his ship never returned. She waited upon the cliff until her death. Even so, she still waits for him there.<br />
<br />
A sad story. It's sad that....I feel like the maiden. Matt, with every long hour, it grows into a day, then they become weeks, and now months. But I'll wait for you, all right? Know that I'm true. Even if with every day you seem to become less to me as a person, and more as an imaginary love I've created as a dream, I will always love you. That's what it feels like...like I've awaken from a lovely dream. I want to dream again. Please hurry back.<br />
<br />
"I'm waiting with a candle, no wind will blow out<br />
but you must haste, on foot or by sky<br />
for no one can live forever<br />
under the bluest sky<br />
I can't wait forever<br />
for the years are running by"<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay so the moral to this anime is:<br />
<br />
It doesn't matter if your a teacher and a student, or a human and a cyborg. Love is love, no matter what. Unless, you're in love with your dad. Then you'll pretty much dissappear inside your little sister's soul forever.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hah.<br />
<br />
Also, a note on racism:<br />
<br />
I don't see how anyone can even be racist anymore. It's the goddamn 21st century. And everyone knows a black person is just someone with a higher melanin content than a white person.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I suppose. Well recently I've haven't found much will in me to do anything other than read. It may be a bad thing, distancing myself so much from reality...but then again I get too much of it from school every day, so...<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah, I'm sorry I've haven't been drawing or writing or anything much at all. I haven't even been that lively at school, and I don't feel like talking much at school. I keep feeling like an invisible mass at school. Kinda like I'm fading into the background...<br />
<br />
Mm...I should stop reading manga. Hah, because whenever I imagine myself kissing someone, the image in my head is always so perfect, and unreal like a manga. I may be disappointed when I actually get kissed. Gah, not like I'm expecting to!! Ug, no, I don't feel like hanging with guys at school.<br />
<br />
What else? Well I'm concerned about my grades. There getting to be B+'s instead of A's, because I'm not doing homework...but...I just don't feel like it, ya know? I get good grades on tests, but I'd rather be reading at home, and at school I'm always reading under my desk. Sneaky ninja-Amie.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Most of you should know by now I really kinda hate Valentine's day. It's just a stupid commercial holiday. And it's sad that it has to remind everyone to remind their lovers that they love them. Because shouldn't they be loving all year? Bleh.<br />
<br />
I guess it's all right if you do something nice for people on the 14th, but that should be it, you know? Why should you give into the media, and spend money on a trivial holiday? Honestly, I really hate being surrounded by hearts and red and pink in February. It just kind of makes me sick when I go shopping.<br />
<br />
But I suppose it got to me this year. I got some boxes of Necco Sweethearts for all my friends. I figured I might as well, since every year I get a few of them from my friends. Besides, they were 8 for 2 dollars. That's 25 cents a box. And I may end up with extras, and that's always a good thing.<br />
<br />
Meh, so do whatever you want wednesday, but don't be stupid. It's a stupid holiday and I kinda hate it. So whatever.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I just want to say what an honor to be selected to be in this choir! Out of all the high schools in the entire county...and I'm a freshmen on top of that! This whole time I didn't meet anyone who was a freshman. Thats pretty crazy.<br />
<br />
The concert was just fantastic! I messed up a bit on the Mozart, but excuse me if I can't memorize Latin very well. I loved all the pieces though. All the music....except for Cindy. I really hated it, but APPARENTLY it was some famous song for the old folkies, so I hope they enjoyed it.<br />
<br />
My favorite was the song 'In Remembrance' which is music to this beautiful poem:<br />
<br />
Do not stand at my grave and weep<br />
I am not there I do not sleep<br />
I am a thousand winds that blow<br />
I am the diamond glint on snow<br />
I am the sunlight on ripened grain<br />
I am the gentle morning rain<br />
And when you awake in the morning's hush<br />
I am the swift uplifting rush<br />
Of quiet birds in circled flight<br />
I am the soft stars that shine at night<br />
Do not stand at my grave and cry<br />
I am not there, I did not die.<br />
<br />
-Anonymous<br />
<br />
The mood of the song is so sad it makes me want to cry. It is that type of passion in a song that makes it great.<br />
<br />
Yay, it's finally over! Well...I guess I'm sad and happy at the same time. I'm gonna miss working with Dr. Chetto. He was an awesome conductor. I hope I'll be able to get in next year!<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I watched The Devil Wears Prada....and well, those of you who haven't seen it won't get me when I say I was really touched by that movie. Not only was the story well done, but the whole movie itself, not to mention the actors.<br />
<br />
I swear, I was close to crying at the end.<br />
<br />
Life is a journey, you know? Not a destination. I want an adventure...I...I want something to look back on and smile at. Smile at the stupid things, the hard times, the lasting memories. I want love and I want happiness.<br />
<br />
But just asking for that, I won't get it. No, love and happiness are things you have to work at. I'm determined to get them. I know many people. Friends whom I love dearly, but honesty, I don't think they try hard enough. Maybe they don't know how much better their life could be.<br />
<br />
I'll get out of life what I pursue. I'm pursuing my dreams and passions. I want to be a writer, as well as a digital artist and vocalist. Why should I waste my talents? I want to do all three, because I love them all. I only get one chance, and I can't just pick and chose one.<br />
<br />
...I'm unhappy though. Really, I am. I have so many worries. So many questions and thoughts, but no one to talk to about it...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yeah...so....I had this really horrible dream. Everything was normal, it was just another day, when suddenly we are getting these messages from aliens (They were the Covenant in my dream, just cuz I know those aliens well) saying that all of us were going to die. It was something like, in a day or so. Really soon, but nobody knew actually when or how.<br />
<br />
My parents gave me a knife, and told me to slit my throat, so that whatever the aliens had in store (which would most likely be very horrible and worse) that it was the only way to have a mostly painless death. I said I wanted to live this to the end, and die with a purpose, maybe to help others cope with the disaster, if I could.<br />
<br />
Then I kept having floods of all the things I've said I wanted to do (Things I actually have thought about when I'm not asleep) before I die. Things like go to college, graduate, get a supporting job, and raise a wonderful family, like mine. All my friends and loved ones....how much I would miss them.<br />
<br />
After thinking of all of that, for some reason all of us were transported onto an alien planet. Most everybody were thinking "This is it, were going to die here."<br />
<br />
I was like, "If there gonna kill us here, I'm getting the hell out."<br />
<br />
So I ran away, and the scenery was much like a halo. I think I was killing aliens and stuff, but after awhile, I was suddenly transported back to the place where everyone is.....and then....I died. Darkness. And then I woke up.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ OMG so I just finished it....and I just wanted to say, the last part, in the end of the last chapter, made me BALL my eyes out. Seriously, I am so sad....<br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
  "His vision doubled and he thought he saw Tom and Lucy come back to get him...but it wasn't them. It was Shane, Robert, and Jane from Team Wolf Pack.<br />
   There were hundreds of Spartans with him on the platform-from Alpha and Beta Companies, Dante, Holly, Will, and even Sam...all ready to fight and win this last battle with him.<br />
   Hallucination? Maybe. It was nonetheless welcome.<br />
   The ghostly Spartans nodded, and gave him the thumbs-up "can-do" signal.<br />
   Kurt wouldn't let them down. All he had to so was single-handedly stop a Covenant army. One last impossible mission...the short definition of any Spartan. It was the least he owed them.<br />
   The Fleet Master Elite snarled at Kurt, and the translation filtered through his helmet's speaker: "<i>One last fight, demon. You will die and we shall reopen the silver path.</i>"<br />
   "Die?" Kurt laughed. "Didn't you know?" he told the Elite. "...Spartans never die."<br />
   Kurt turned his gauntlet face-up and pressed the detonator.<br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
I know, I'm such a Halo nerd! I started to cry when it said Sam. In the first book, I cried when Sam died. Then I was beginning to really cry when it went on about how Spartans always do the impossible. Then cried when he detonated the FENRIS warheads. T-T KURTTT!!!!<br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
EDIT 11-28-06: So I finished reading Ghosts of Onyx last night. I guess whatever your thinking about before you sleep appears in you dreams. I had a dream I was a Spartan, and I had to protect Will and Kurt because...I dunno, Kurt had to do something, and Will was too injured to shoot. Kurt told me to cover them both. So I'm standing there, and a jackal and elite walk up. I try shooting the jackal, but my bullets bounce off like water. So I run up, punch it through the stomach, and chase down the elite, and somehow steal his sword and hill him.<br />
<br />
Then I retreat to the fall-back position, and wait some more. Suddenly fog completely covers the area. Then I see the silhouette of an elite to the right, 2 meters in front of me. I jab it in the chest with my sword and it dies. Then another appears on the left. Soon there are like, 15 elites standing in the fog, walking towards me, all with swords. I totally kick all their asses. When I was done, the fog cleared, and for some reason, they didn't fall down when I killed them. Like statues. So I kick all their bodies on the floor, and replaces my dim, used energy sword for a new, bright one. Then I woke up.<br />
<br />
Weird, huh?!<br />
<br />
EDIT 11-28-06: Oh I also forgot to say. When all the enemys were gone, I rocked out to the Halo Theme Mjolnir Mix with a plasma sword-guitar, like the one in "There's Something About Halo 2", because I watched it before I went to bed. xDD<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Today marks the fifth anniversary of Halo. I'm so excited! Where's the cake?<br />
<br />
My progress into <i>Ghosts of Onyx</i> is leading my mind to some interesting facts...<br />
<br />
Oh I would type more, but I REALLY have to go to bed right now...<br />
<br />
I decided on a Sangheili name, however.<br />
<br />
Litae 'Luzulee<br />
<br />
(Lih-tay loo-zoo-lee)<br />
<br />
Bwaha. Took me a while to put it together.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ HAHAHA! So Friday was a no-school. Abby, Amanda, and I (Amie, lol) went to the mall. We saw Stranger Than Fiction. By the way, great movie. I laughed and cried at the same time at the end. Yes, it was THAT good.<br />
<br />
Also, got the new HALO BOOK!!! YEAAAAHHH!!! <br />
GHOSTS!! OF ONYX!!!<br />
WOOHOOO!!!!<br />
<br />
And so Amie was a happy bunny.<br />
<br />
Then we went into Hot Topic. There we found:<br />
<br />
HALO 3 MERCH!!!!<br />
<br />
Ask Amanda, I nearly had a seizure. I fell to the floor and basked in it's glory for about a minute. I wanted the shirt AND the jacket, but Amie had only 20 dollars! I almost cried, not wanting to part with them, and Amanda, GOD BLESS HER DEAR SOUL, lent me the 25 dollars to get the jacket, and Abby, GOD BLESS HER DEAR SOUL, paid the tax!! Dad, of course, will pay them back. But now I'm just PEACHY KEEN!!!<br />
<br />
So I'ma just sittin here in my Halo 3 sweatshirt reading Ghosts of Onyx. Being the gamer girl, halo-crazed, nerd that I am!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hmmm......I don't know what it is about this movie, but.....just.....wow. It kind of opened my eyes. I wouldn't say because of it's storyline, because I already know the whole thing, because I've seen the whole series....twice....within the last week. X-X<br />
<br />
No, but the way it was drawn. I can't really say filmed because it is an Anime. Or maybe I was just relieved to see animation that was more detailed. You know, they always put more detail into the movies.<br />
<br />
The lighting....the emotion.....and the music, too. I like Yubiwa....it's really beautiful.<br />
<br />
But yeah, and I donno if anything else contributes to my good mood....besides The Charmed Sphere, which is a great book. Still, I donno, I'm feeling so much better right now. Yay.<br />
<br />
Oh. And also. The ending. It made me cry. I'm still pretty teary right now....<br />
<br />
<br />
....And I hardly EVER cry, you know.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Still disturbed by my recent loss...but...I think I'll be ok.<br />
<br />
Lately I've been having a...not-so-horrible time at school. I think it's God's way of cheering me up. I think I deserve to be happy, so I embrace this luck with open arms.<br />
<br />
I think I learned a lot, too. There is love, there is lost, and there is a part we always overlook, and never mention. Understanding. Maybe only few persons get to that part...but I think I realized something:<br />
<br />
What happens was meant to be, and one should never dwell on the past, but should keep moving forward. <br />
<br />
Take a look at what is still around you and enjoy it. I've had the time now....time to enjoy regular High School things: Going to football games, dances, focusing on my grades, and just enjoying the opportunity of a lifetime. You only get to do things once, right? I want to have a high school memory to really look back on.<br />
<br />
Still.....will I love again? I.......think maybe I will. There is still someone for me. He's waiting you know? And I bet he's looking for me too. Everything has a happy ending, no matter what you think.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well I because really depressed today....and when I do, I laugh a lot to hide it. But you know, inside, I'm just rotting away.<br />
<br />
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHJAhjfkdrhgjkrehjk geri,lcxjfcjkfvfvfvffjfxjnmhnmumj hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhehul.gfyjkgfikgdfhjgkherklgujroieljhoeshroeh<br />
<br />
Meh so I tried to play a video game to clear my head. It worked for a little while....<br />
<br />
Then I realized: If I screw up....I can't press restart. If I don't cause something to happen that will make something turn out good, I can't just look it up in the cheat book, realize I made a mistake and restart. If I rush through a certain point, I can't turn off the game, and then return to the last save point. And life is a fun game, most of the time. So much, it's like you want to play it again. But we can't. What you CHOOSE is what you CHOOSE. And a game over....is really a game over. You can't just put in two more quarters and continue...<br />
<br />
*Sighs* Damn video game analogies are always right. They make me realize....well....that life sucks.<br />
<br />
But...I also found out something about myself. I'm too damn anxious to find out what happens next in my game to click the power button. I'm addicted to this game....no matter how much I get frustrated....no matter how long it takes for me to figure out the puzzles. <br />
<br />
Well I totally suck at this game. Oh well. I like some of the characters. They give me +10 HP. ;3 (Translation: At least I have a few friends that care that I live....It makes the game a bit more worth while.) ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Things are just not going right. Every day is ripping my mind apart. I can't handle school. I can't handle high school and everyone in it. I....I just want to die. My sister is always disappointed in me. I'll never be able to please her and still be myself. I wish she would just leave me alone.<br />
<br />
And through all this I feel completely alone. No one to really talk with. The light in my tunnel is growing dim, about to blow out. But it felt so close. I felt close to the light...maybe a few months ago. But now......now I don't care if I were kidnapped or beaten up or anything. I'm sorry, friends, that I feel this way, but I can't help it.<br />
<br />
What am I looking forward too!! You look back on High School as the prime of your life, but It all seems just like a load of shit I have to get through. After that....college. Whoopdie fucking doo. Maybe I don't want to. Maybe I just feel like rotting away in a field. If I died, It doesn't effect the world. I haven't done anything to deserve being remembered. Why should you care? I'm nothing but a mark on your pallet. What do I mean to you other than a friend? What else COULD I be?<br />
<br />
...What is there left for me here? <br />
<br />
EDIT: SO WHAT, NOW MY ONLY FRIEND MAY BE LEAVING FOR TRACY HIGH??<br />
<br />
This is bullshit. I'm not going through this alone. Oh God...I...I just want it back. I want my friends back. I wanted to spend my life with them..but...we can't be together now. Now, I'll be lost in life. I....don't want....to go on.......Why is this so unfair....EVERYONE IS LEAVING ME. Oh God what the hell...what the HELL did I do to deserve this? You think HEY it isn't that bad Amie, BUT IT IS DAMN IT. Without my friends...anyone...I'm just......alone...I don't want....to be alone. There's no one left. Oh my God....This is the most horrible thing that has ever happened in my life so far... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It's been 5 years now. 5 years and the image of coming downstairs to my dad watching in shock as he stood right next to the TV.<br />
<br />
It's a little sad. I couldn't comprehend was going on. I was only in 4th grade, but even though I may not remember what I was thinking, I remember what happened. Just like it was yesterday.<br />
<br />
I woke up to my mom calling me. She made me come downstairs, and there, when I turned the corner, I see my dad. His arms were crossed as always when he was concentrating. He stood 3 feet from the TV. He was watching Fox News, and when I first saw it....I didn't really understand. I was shocked. What was going on? The images...the clips they played over and over again for four weeks at least. At the time....all I could think of was the fire....the crash...the falling.....<br />
<br />
It was early in the morning, so when I had had enough I went back to bed. My alarm woke me up the second time, and when I got ready for school, and went downstairs, dad was in the kitchen, making me a breakfast. He looks at me and tells me that another plane hit. At that time I was flabbergasted. I had my breakfast and he drove me to elementary school. We didn't listen to the radio.<br />
<br />
When I got to school I walked into Mrs. Angel's class, and she had on the TV. She was watching it too. I don't remember seeing any teachers in the halls....I think It came as much more of a shock to them as 8-year-olds.<br />
<br />
When the bell rang, I could tell it was driving her mad, but she turned off the TV, and the announcements came on. We had a moment of silence, and that's all I can remember. They tried to make the day as regular as possible.<br />
<br />
I think maybe a year later was when I was older and it sunk in a little more. I imagined...If I was in the tower as it fell...the fire, everywhere. Even after a week when it happened, they were STILL looking through the rubble for bodies. And after it happened they tried looking for survivors....that didn't go to well.<br />
<br />
Thinking about it now, It's so scary. I don't think I ever cried. At that age I don't think I ever understood it for what it was. And at this age when I finally do, I can't cry, because it was so long ago. I still feel the sadness in my heart. Yes, I lived though 9/11, I will say to my kids, and tell them the story when they read it in the history books.<br />
<br />
I'm proud I suppose. Proud that I lived in this generation. That I know the sadness when something terrible like that happens. I'm proud remembering how it brought the country together. After 9/11 we were concerned. There was so much emotion. Something to talk about. Something WORTH to talk about, you know what I mean? Having that emotion that effected us all really gave meaning into our lives again.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
For all those angels in heaven, your wives, husbands, fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, grandfathers, grandmothers, cousins, and friends miss you. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So when you read a book, you always wonder in the back of your head why that book was named that way. In <i>Twilight</i>, it was because Bella loved Edward so much, she wanted him to make her a vampire. Edward said absolutely not. It would mean the <i>twilight</i> of her life, the very end...but not quite. The last glimpse of <i>life</i> in human reason. He wouldn't do that to someone if they still had a choice, a choice to live a <i>normal</i> life, free from the curse that vampires endure. He loved her to much to do that to her.<br />
<br />
Very touching, right?<br />
<br />
Well in <i>New Moon</i>, I just found out why it is called that. Here is what Edward tells Bella:<br />
<br />
------<br />
<br />
   "Will you please try to hear what I'm telling you? Will you let me attempt to explain what you mean to me?"<br />
   He waited, studying my face as he spoke to make sure I was really listening.<br />
   "Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars--points of light and reason. ...And then you shot across the sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything."<br />
<br />
------<br />
<br />
So beautiful, yes, I know. I absolutely LOVE this book. In so many ways.....the events in New Moon are almost so SIMILAR to what I just went through.<br />
<br />
And the feelings. The love. It's so emotional, it touches somewhere deep in my heart, a place that yearns to be brought to the surface. I want to <i>live</i> my fairytale. I want true love to conquer all in my life. To push aside all the harshness of reality, and let the feeling of meaning and love to be the only thing there ever could be to life. But it's only a story, right? No...I don't think so......I think all the people in this world settle for less, and that's why true love <i>barely</i> exists. If we all could just tell ourselves that we deserve someone that <i>truly</i> cares about us, and loves us, and would actually give their lives for us...it would be a better place. There is someone for <i>you</i>, dearest reader, someone placed on this earth just for <i>you</i>, because you deserve to be happy.<br />
<br />
We all deserve true love. ]]></description>

"What?"<br />
"Whenever I watch Finding Nemo, I think of Matt."<br />
"Huh?"<br />
"Cause it's in Australia!"<br />
-Both laugh-<br />
"Hehehe 'I need to go see about a wallaby' you know I never asked Matt if people really use that phrase hey I can feel the popsicle stick I DON'T HAVE ADD SHUDDUP!"<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Sometimes I feel as though as much I have treated this wound, I keep.....prodding at it. And you know...each time I do, it hurts. *Sigh* I like that analogy. These things take time but I don't think I'm even close to completing the second step....<br />
<br />
*Lays on the floor motionless like she always does when she feels dead*<br />
<br />
Bleeeeeeeeh.....um....Oh! Yeah, this book I'm reading.<br />
<br />
I'm TOTALLY getting back into vampires. I'm reading this romance book about a human and vampire that fall in love. HOMG I want an Edward. He is so.....Ahhh, you know, Matt sometimes the things he says remind me of you. Meep but it so sad because he is a vampire and he doesn't feed on humans because he doesn't want to be a monster. Oooooh and he's SO COMPLETELY ROMANTIC! He sings her to sleep and watches her, waiting for her to wake.......I love that he has a musical ability! He plays the piano, and that couldn't be any sexier.....I love the calmness in him....it's so smooth and peaceful, yet exciting and adventurous. I am completely in love with Edward now. *Pouts* I want Edward to hold me and tell me everything will be okay. T-T<br />
<br />
Oh oh, and listen to my fave quotes so far. Tee-hee!<br />
<br />
"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb..." -Edward<br />
<br />
"Bring on the shackles--I'm your prisoner." -Edward (Hah....me and my chains......HEHE)<br />
<br />
"I know love and lust don't always keep the same company." -Edward<br />
<br />
'...That voice of an archangel, soft in my ear.' -Bella<br />
<br />
That last one makes me think of my Nayko waffers. He was the first one to discribe what an archangel was to me.<br />
<br />
Ahhh yeah. Okay, that's all I really have to say right now. Talk to you later! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Listening to:: Otherworld - Rammstein (FFX?)<br />
<a href="http://delta.bluelaguna.net/ffxmusic//05%20-%20Otherworld.mp3">[link]</a><br />
<br />
Mood:: ....<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
*Streches and yawns* Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh.....'mornin watchers.<br />
<br />
So yesterday I was supposed to go with my parents up to the Lake Madrone property (Where we're building a cabin, remember?) and go to a 4th-o'-July pot-luck. I went last year with Aubrey and it was lots of fun. There was food, games, and an awesome dance with a DJ who played 'good' music (xD) who was very cool >.><br />
<br />
Unfortunately this year, Amanda was white water rafting, Abby was in Indiana, Emily was gone, and Aubrey is in Utah!! Luckily Bre was still here....but unluckily could not go because she had to be home early. (It takes about 2 1/2 hours to get up there, and we would be spending the night at my grandma's because the party goes till late)<br />
<br />
I refused to go without her, because I -specifically- remember telling Aubrey last year "If I didn't have you here, I would be bored out of my mind!"<br />
<br />
So instead I stayed with Bre. We went out and saw The Lake House (OMG BEST MOVIE EVER IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL AND ROMANTIC AND I CRIED AT THE END!! I LOVE IT AND IT'S MY NEW FAVORITE MOVIE T-T YOU MUST GO SEE IT NOW!!) with her dad, and stopped at Best Buy and she got Halo (Bre is Video Game impaired, and I told her it was a sin to own an Xbox without Halo, and that she'd burn in the fiery pits of hell...) and I bought Final Fantasy X-2! Wheee, now all I have to do is beat FFX.......<br />
<br />
I'm not too close to the end, though. I think I may have told you, but Bre had her game at the part where you ride a shoopuf, and mine was 18 hours ahead, where you have to stop Yuna and Seymour's wedding.....and I accidentally saved her game over mine......So last night we played FFX till our eyes bled, and now she is all caught up! Problem is....we are stuck because we have to fight this HUGE dragon boss with 32,000 HP, and afterwards, there is no save point, rather guys with guns and flame throwers and a giant macina. O_O We keep dying and having to fight the long boss battle OVER AND OVER.<br />
<br />
So I'm going to give up on FFX for a little, and play KH again. I got to fight Maleficent in her dragon form now.....but it's one of the hardest boss battles in the game. T-T Wish me luck.<br />
<br />
(Oh, and if you want to know how Bre is doing on Halo.......let's just say that after seeing her.....I must be very VERY good at Halo......at least i can use the  moving and aiming joysticks at once xD)<br />
<br />
......why do they call it a joystick? Is it because it's like a.......um......ok I won't go into that.....<br />
<br />
......also........yes Seymour, I DID come to punish you.......*Straps against the wall and whips* >-> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I thought, and I was naive. Dreams and Hopes are two different things. He just.....doesn't feel the same love and passion for me like he used to. Now it's just like the love for a sister. I guess I can understand that.....it can happen...overtime....<br />
<br />
I just wish everyone knew about the pain I felt. To know what it's like to cry yourself to sleep....to cry so hard....so loud....so much...you just pass out on your pillow.<br />
<br />
To know what it's like to crawl on your knees on the floor of your room in the middle of the night.....crying out to God why he had to take it away....why he had to be so cruel.....wonder if he even cares about you.....<br />
<br />
So If you asked me If I know suffering...I would say yes.<br />
<br />
But.....having the time to think it out.....peacefully......I understand now.<br />
<br />
I understand that that's in my past. I need to put it behind me. And go on living life and having fun with the friends who care so much for me.<br />
<br />
It's better to have loved and lost<br />
Than to have never loved at all.<br />
<br />
And you can take my word for it.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
I wrote that...just to.....get it out. But you know, I feel a lot better. <br />
<br />
So all day today I went with my mom and dad and we went up to our property by Madrone Lake in the mountains by Oroville, to mark property lines and such. We saved a lot of money, like THOUSANDS, to find the old stakes from 50 years ago than to make new ones. <br />
<br />
Basically all we did was trudge around through the forest on a steep hill, measuring from neon pink marks to other neon pink marks....oh...and pounding wooden stakes into the ground with a hammer. I liked that part.<br />
<br />
Oh and the property overlooks this beautiful creek called Berry Creek. It's called that because black berries grow by it. I can't wait to have the cabin and pick berries in the summertime....<br />
<br />
Well....today (After soaking my mosquito biten arm in the cool creek water because all my friends KNOW how MANY MOSQUITO BITES I get because I'm just SO DAMN YUMMY) I sat by the creek edge...for about an half hour or so...looking at the water rush and glow in the sun....thinking...<br />
<br />
Thinking about what has just happened...and I realised.<br />
<br />
Tough It was fun, and I'll miss it, I can still live on, and enjoy life with the friends I have.<br />
<br />
I owe you, all my friends, for consoling me and caring SO MUCH. I'm so blessed to have that love.<br />
<br />
Really, I owe you all for my nearly perfect life. So when the cabin is built in a year or so, I invite you all, whether you can come or not, to come up and we'll just sleep out on the deck and listen to the creek as the stars shine above. I want to show you all how much I love you.<br />
<br />
....and then you can laugh at me as I try and restrain myself form scratching my mosquito bites. Curse this luscious, fair, and beautiful skin!<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
A song that helped me feel so much better: This one's for the girls by Martina McBride<br />
<br />
This is for all you girls, about thirteen.<br />
High School can be so rough; can be so mean.<br />
Hold onto, onto your innocence.<br />
Stand your ground, when everybody's givin' in.<br />
<br />
This one's for the girls.<br />
<br />
This is for all you girls, about twenty-five.<br />
In little apartments just tryin' to get by.<br />
Livin' on, on dreams and Spaghettios.<br />
Wonderin' where your life is gonna go.<br />
<br />
This one's for the girls,<br />
Who've ever had a broken heart;<br />
Who've wished upon a shootin' star:<br />
You're beautiful the way you are.<br />
This one's for the girls,<br />
Who love without holdin' back;<br />
Who dream with everything they have.<br />
All around the world,<br />
This one's for the girls.<br />
(This one's for all the girls.)<br />
<br />
This is for all you girls, about forty-two.<br />
Tossin' pennies into the fountain of youth.<br />
Every laugh, laugh line on your face,<br />
Made you who you are today.<br />
<br />
This one's for the girls,<br />
Who've ever had a broken heart;<br />
Who've wished upon a shootin' star:<br />
You're beautiful the way you are.<br />
This one's for the girls,<br />
Who love without holdin' back;<br />
Who dream with everything they have.<br />
All around the world:<br />
This one's for the girls.<br />
<br />
Yeah, we're all the same inside (Same inside.)<br />
From one to ninety-nine:<br />
<br />
This one's for the girls,<br />
Who've ever had a broken heart;<br />
Who've wished upon a shootin' star:<br />
You're beautiful the way you are.<br />
This one's for the girls,<br />
Who love without holdin' back;<br />
Who dream with everything they have.<br />
All around the world, yeah, <br />
This one's for the girls.<br />
(This one's for all the girls.)<br />
<br />
Yeah, this one's for the girls.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well first of all the party was the coolest party ever. We had DDR and Abby and I kicked serious ass. Then we went in the spa, then ate s'mores, then danced with all the lights out with glo-sticks to techno rave music. It was the coolest dance ever, even more than the stupid dances at school where it's only rap music. xD Then that night we slept in the backyard and stargazed for a while. Kalyn, Abby, Emily, Amanda and I all thought we saw a very close meteor, so we snuck out of the house to look over the field. Heh, there was nothing there, but we all saw it! It was MUCH bigger than a star, and it fell very close, surrounded by white light.<br />
<br />
From my friends I got some art stuff like pastels, a drawing sketch book (Yay! NO LINES!!), some paints, money, B&N gift card, a picture frame, an origami set, and a little wolf statue.<br />
<br />
For my actual birthday, however, it was just a normal day. I went to my job, came back at noon, ate a late lunch, computer, had dinner, opened presents. We DID have a cool desert, though. My parents know I dislike cake, so dad made chocolate pudding! xD Just like wedding pudding! *Nudges Matt*<br />
<br />
I got a new flat TV that is MUCH bigger than my old one, with the A/V ports in the front and better color. My PS2 I bought myself will be here on the 8th, and so they also bought me a $50 gift card to Best Buy. ^-^ Also, cards from grandparents and stuff add up to 50 dollars.<br />
<br />
I think I may go to the mall soon to by some games...basically I need all the good PS2 games: Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts II, Final Fantasy...(every one for PS2? xD) and DDR. But I won't forget, I also need to buy Halo 2 OST Volume 2, and RvB Season 3!<br />
<br />
My birthday Isn't even over yet, though. I'm still awaiting late gifts from Bre, Aubrey, and my Brother (He's in Texas, remember? Don't think he doesn't love me, because it's on it's way <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />). AND today Melissa is driving up from Sacramento to go out to dinner with us, because she had to work yesterday. Guess where we are going? Musashi's of corse! It's only the restaurant we ALWAYS go to on a special occasion. We just can't get enough of their fried rice and chicken, and sushi! Everyone in our family completely ADORES it. xD ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Where to start....<br />
<br />
Needless to say...it was completely awesome. First, Bre and I met up with Deven, his girlfriend, and her friend...and then two of their friends. Normally I don't like being around friend's friends, but we all got along great and it was fun with them. We waited in line for about...an hour. By the time we got in it was 2 o' clock. But it was still gun in line. People were playing cards, talking, and some awesome cos players walked past people in line, being called at to WAIT so they could get their picture taken!<br />
<br />
Once getting inside we went almost straight to the merch hall! It was HUGE with tons of booths and swag! RvB was there, and I took a picture with Gus and Geoff, and hugged them! ^^ (Pic on Bre's camera)<br />
<br />
Gaia had some cool stuff to! All the stuff was cheaper at the booth than online. The hats were 15 dollars, and they had some awesome new wristbands! It was fun to see most people wearing an OMG hat or Kiki/Coco kitties on their heads.<br />
<br />
They had tons of stuff, I didn't know what to get! In the end I got a Gaia OMG hat, a little Mokona plush/key chain, a cool little figurine of a cat watching a hamster in a wheel, lol, and Vaati (From LoZ Minish Cap) cellphone charm. Also a Naruto (Gaara) key chain for Valeree's Bday. She was totally jealous that I was going and asked me to get her something.<br />
<br />
I had lots of fun chatting with people at the art booths, taking pictures of cool costumes, and meeting people! I even made two new friends! ^^<br />
<br />
What was even a bit cooler was two guys wanted a picture of me! ^-^ I feel special...<br />
<br />
....But next year....when I make a totally awesome costume....EVERYONE will want my picture.....heheheheheheheh... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!<br />
<br />
Well I'm pretty sure I'll be going. If I can just get Abby and Emily to get their mom to take us on Saturday.<br />
<br />
This is seriously going to be AWESOME though. My first anime convention.....I won't dress up though. I was going to as Link, but I don't want to anymore. I'll get a better costume next year like a moogle or something.<br />
<br />
Although....I could wear my boots, schoolgirl skirt, collard white shirt black tie and bat ears.....<br />
<br />
I'm definitely taking my digital camera!!! Taking TONS of pictures of costumes and things....<br />
<br />
Not to mention RED VERSES BLUE will be there as well as PEOPLE FROM GAIA ONLINE! Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~<br />
<br />
I'll also bring like.....40 dollars to get merch and things! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Happy Easter, everyone!<br />
<br />
I hope you had a good one. I didn't...<br />
<br />
*Sigh* Being the youngest cousin living in California, I'm always the one at family gathering to be ignored. I said hello to everyone, had a few snacks, then went upstairs to play WoW. About an hour later my dad comes up to my room, telling me off, that I should be downstairs. You know, a 'Spend time with your family while you can!' talk. So I go downstairs, and count the minutes. I sat silent for 25 minutes. No one talked to me. I just sat. Finally my mom notices me and asks: "Do you want to go upstairs?" So I walk back up to my room and played WoW until dinner.<br />
<br />
I'm just not special to my family. I'm just Melissa's and Christian's little sister. That's all I am to everyone. I know I'm not beautiful. I know I'm the coolest. To my cousins I'm the nerdy little cousin who spends all her time online that they used to tease and play cruel tricks on when she was little.<br />
<br />
Eh, but I did get a huge basket of candy, so I guess that makes up for all the trauma and loneliness. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I just saw Master and Commander tonight. It's going on my 'one of my favorite movies' list. You should see it. It's just so magnificent. Halfway through the movie a cello breaks out and right away I say: "Bach Cello Suite, yes. I love...this song..."<br />
<br />
Really, have you heard it? I absolutely ADORE the cello and violin. The commander and his friend the doctor of the ship play together in the movie, a cello and violin. The commander is extremely sexy by the way. MEEEEOW.....Anyways....<br />
<br />
*Sigh* I donno what it is about the cello and violin....but when I hear the sweet music, my whole body throbs with the whisper and sighs of the strings and rasping heartbeat of the music. It's so indescribable but I feel like my body is being lifted by angels.....I want to move as the notes do. When I listen to it...I completely forget all around me. It's just so beautiful.<br />
<br />
Note to myself: I will walk down the aisle to Bach Cello Suite.... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ There are so many things I want! But guess what? I have money! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay~!<br />
<br />
First off, I need to get World of Warcraft! I have been persuaded by so many (all boys, no surprise O-O) that now I know I need it to LIVE! <br />
<br />
+ $50<br />
<br />
And I need a new sweatshirt. I think people are getting the wrong impression when I wear my Carthage one and converse everyday....and different jeans and shirt.....O-o<br />
Good thing I found this really awesome one at Bungie.net that has Halo on it! <a href="http://www.bungiestore.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=8&idproduct=458">[link]</a><br />
<br />
+ $30<br />
<br />
An Xbox controller USB converter, so I can practice Halo on the computer with an actual Xbox controller! <a href="http://stores.channeladvisor.com/depot4u/items/item.aspx?itemid=4598200">[link]</a><br />
<br />
+ $4<br />
<br />
= $84!!<br />
<br />
 180<br />
- 84<br />
<br />
= $96<br />
<br />
Yay~!!!<br />

<br />
I'll be submitting something to celebrate. I just started. This came so sudden! I'm so happy that I have so many watchers and that so many like my work!<br />

<br />
Bet seriously, I couldn't make it this far without support from my friends and loved ones.<br />
<br />
And even more seriously, I had a few sips at Chianti at this Italian restaurant....and fell in love. Oooooh Booooy. =3<br />

<br />
First we went Ice Skating. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br />
<br />
I really kind of dislike Ice Skating. Roller Blading is funner and easier. Ice is so.....slippery. It's much harder to get used to. I was all warm and cute in meh coat, beanie, scarf and gloves! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Then we slept over. Whoot! We ate chocolate, pizza, french fries, and I had lots o' soda! Yay!<br />
<br />
 Also...everyone has been saying lately: "Wow! Your eyebrows are so light? What did you do, dye them?" I just found out....from my sis, Melissa, and her girlieness, that there is a chemical inside my anti-acne face lotion that has something like Hydrogen Peroxide that acts as a bleach. Who Knew??? O-O<br />
<br />
Well there you go, <a href="http://thelastmoonelf.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/h/thelastmoonelf.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="thelastmoonelf" /></a> and <a href="http://onesidedlove.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="onesidedlove" /></a> , the mystery is solved. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yeah, I have been posting a bunch of lyrics to good songs. Okay, but hold on a sec, lemme get started.<br />
<br />
Last night mom and I went to go see the Trinity Irish Dancers, and wow. Ya know, seeing stuff like that really makes me want to go to Ireland. My whole family says out of my heritage (50% German, 25% Irish, 25% Italian), I am the most Irish. I wear Celtic knots, listen to Celtic music, and a whole bunch of other things. I really REALLY wish I was in Ireland right now. I'm always convinced that I will live in Ireland one day. Ssh, yes, I may be silly but, It's who I am. <br />
<br />
Okay and as for the title of this entry:<br />
<br />
So I'm listening to Cat Country 103.3, because my mom listens to it, and she made me love that station when I was young (But now I listen to B 93.1 Alternative Rock), and It's a bit strange. They play hits from years back and so, when you hear it, you hear new country hits, and old ones too. Well as I listened, they played a song that I knew when I was young, and made me sad. It's really kind of touching, heh.<br />
<br />
Johnny's daddy was taking him fishin'<br />
When he was eight years old.<br />
Little girl came through the front gate<br />
holdin' a fishin' pole.<br />
His dad looked down and smiled,<br />
he said, "We can't leave her behind.<br />
Son, I know you don't want her to go,<br />
but someday you'll change your mind."<br />
And Johnny said,<br />
"Take Jimmy Johnson,<br />
take Tommy Thompson.<br />
Take my best friend, Bo.<br />
Take anybody that you want as<br />
long as she don't go.<br />
Take any boy in the world,<br />
daddy please, <br />
don't take the girl."<br />
<br />
Same old boy <br />
Same sweet girl<br />
ten years down the road.<br />
He held her tight and kissed her lips in<br />
front of the picture show.<br />
Stranger came and pulled a gun<br />
Grabbed her by the arm <br />
said "If you do what I tell you to,<br />
there won't be any harm" <br />
And Johnny said, <br />
"Take my money,<br />
take my wallet,<br />
take my credit cards.<br />
Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me<br />
Here's the key to my car<br />
Mister give it a whirl,<br />
But please <br />
don't take the girl."<br />
<br />
Same old boy<br />
Same sweet girl<br />
Five years down the road<br />
There's gonna be a little one and she<br />
says it's time to go.<br />
Doctor says the baby's fine<br />
but you'll have to leave<br />
'Cause his momma's fading fast and <br />
Johnny knelt on his knees and there he prayed<br />
"Take the very breath you gave me.<br />
Take the heart from my chest.<br />
I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me,<br />
make this my last request.<br />
Take me out of this world<br />
God, please <br />
don't take the girl"<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ All the other GATE kids get A's...and...when the high school counselors came today, everyone kept asking about the AP classes...but...I don't think I can do it. I'm just not smart enough. How did I even get into the GATE program. I'm not gifted. I'm not talented. I'm dyslexic, and my brain doesn't do normal things. It replaces words and letters, so I spell things wrong, and miss words in sentences. I keep crying as I redo and Redo my outline because...It's just not working, and I can't do it right. I think I should just quit GATE and drop down to a normal class. If doing stuff like this for the rest of the year and high school mean I have to be depressed and crying every night, then I can't do it. Why should I be the dumb one in the class of smart kids. You all say I'm smart but I'm NOT. I'm not a straight A student, and I don't write essays like the prodigies in my class. I'm crying as I write this.....<br />
<br />
I can't take it.<br />
<br />
I'm just not smart.<br />
<br />
I have lived a lie....being in this GATE class since 2nd grade. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yah know, that's really only the good part about February the 14th. I love those SweetHearts candies. Yum.<br />
<br />
Well, just like I expected, I didn't get any SEACRET ADMIERERS, or CONFESSIONS OF LOVE, or A BOUQUET OF ROSES, or even a card but....ya know I prefer it that way. I already have love, and It's all I need to live on.<br />
<br />
<---<3----;;;<br />
<br />
Like I said I went and did a little research about the origin of Valentine's Day, and well, my conclusion was that It's about LOVE, not Frivolous Gifts.<br />
<br />
So those who don't know the story, I'll explain it, using the ever famous, "Amie Retells History".<br />
<br />
So there's this war right? And the Romans are losing and need more men and stuff. So the emperor, Claudius II, he's like, "Hey dudes. Get your BUTTS out there!", and the guys are like, "No way man, I love my wife and fiance too much." So the emperor dude says "FINE! THEN I'LL OUTLAW MARRAGE SO YOU HAVE TO GO TO WAR! MUAHAHA!". Valentine was not about to let this happen. After all, lovers are meant to be together, right? SO IN THE NAME OF LOVE, Valentine secretly marries off lovers. Aww, sweet of him, right? Claudius didn't think so. He had Valentine sent to prison, and later -Beheaded- ! What an ass. So he dies on February the 14th, and it goes on in history as the anniversary of the idea of love.<br />
<br />
See? I make learning FUN! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
GET IT, NOW? Love. Not candies. Not cards. LOVE.<br />
<br />
*Sigh* Maybe that will convince you next year before you go and get hypnotized by the media and spend $50 on stuff you don't need to prove you love him/her. Like I said, just look them in their eyes, and say, honest and deep, "I love you." Three simple words that don't even cost a six pence. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I was watching on the Winter Olympics the Ice Skating, and surprised to hear a song I knew. It is on my Celtic Woman CD, and It is called Nella Fantasia (In My Fantasy). It is a very beautiful song, and you should look it up if you can. They played a very beautiful acoustic version of the song, using a Spanish guitar. Here are the lyrics of the song, though it's in Latin. Still pretty though, if you can speak Latin aloud. I like how the language just flows.<br />
<br />
Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo giusto, <br />
Li tutti vivono in pace e in onestà.<br />
Io sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere, <br />
Come le nuvole che volano, <br />
Pien' d'umanità in fondo all'anima. <br />
<br />
Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo chiaro, <br />
Li anche la notte è meno oscura. <br />
Io sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere, <br />
Come le nuvole che volano. <br />
<br />
Nella fantasia esiste un vento caldo, <br />
Che soffia sulle città, come amico. <br />
Io sogno d'anime che sono sempre libere, <br />
Come le nuvole che volano, <br />
Pien' d'umanità in fondo all'anima. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I must surrender to the hot-ness of MeruPuri.<br />
<br />
It's a Shoujo (Manga having to do with the main character being a girl, involving situations with Bishonens. *MEW* Mangas for girls.) about a girl named Airi, who daydreams about one day how she will have a perfect family, planning her life, and saving herself for her 'soul mate'. ( Heh, I can relate >< ) Well this 7-sided star mirror she has, that has been handed down from her Great-great-great-great-great etc. Grandmother, Is actually a portal hole to a magical world, and all of a sudden one day a cute little prince comes out!<br />
<br />
Now let me explain before you judge on how cliche it sounds. The portal is used only for emergencies, and Aram, the prince, was partially cursed by his half brother (To grow into an old man until he can't use is magical powers, but he missed, so now Aram only gets older when he is in the dark.) so he escaped to earth. The only way turn him back into a little boy, his original self, is by the 'Maiden's Kiss'. Only the woman who is chosen by the guy as his 'maiden' can give the 'Maiden's Kiss'. Aram chooses Airi! ^-^<br />
<br />
<a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v159/Amelia16/merupuri.jpg">[link]</a><br />
<br />
MOWZERS, IS HE SEXY-HOTT OR WHAT?!?! x-<<br />
<br />
So yeah, plot rolls on, and i don't feel like explaining EVERYTHING, but to save Airi, Aram makes her give him a marriage vow. (Including a scene where she "made her marriage vow over my heart"......He lifts up his shirt and tells her to kiss his chest -At this point I am blushing madly, thinking 'I WANNA KISS ARAM'S CHEST! T-T'- AND THEN, she faints, wakes up, and is locked in a room with little Aram, he hides under the covers of a bed, BIG Aram appears, and lifts down her shirt, kissing her chest -Again I blush madly thinking 'OMG ARAM KISS MY CHEST! T-T' and faints.....aww sleeping cuddle!)<br />
<br />
Well OK, and then in between this all, Aram's brother, Jeile is introduces. OMG he is hot as well. Though he is more my type. I love the sweet innocent guys, but I have a HUGE fetish with the take-charge type of men. Plus, he wears outfits with tailcoats, elaborate accessories, and lace cuffs and collar which is me EXTRA fetish. It's so 1800's France, and extremely sexy in my taste.<br />
<br />
Jeile is a very....should I say traditional? He calls Airi his 'Mountain Lily Maiden' because he adores her, and I think that is so nice. I wish I was a beautiful lily maiden. T-T<br />
<br />
*Sigh* Well, I guess that's why It's shoujo. Almost every scene with either Aram, or Jeile makes me extremely giddy! I giggle and blush at PICTURES! Hehehehe, It's silly, but I dwell on dreams and fantasy a lot, so it isn't surprising. I day dream a lot about a prince taking me away on a stallion to a magical kingdom to be his princess.....but then again.....what girl hasn't? It's the dream of every little girl when their young. I guess some habits are hard to break.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So, I have this 'Creative Writing Society' club every Friday after school, and last week we shared what inspired us most. I, of course, had 'Earth City' to play because y'all know It just really sparks me no other song can. Breanna played Aerosmith - I Don't Want To Miss A Thing<br />
<br />
So today, I was going through my Radio Blog, and I wanted to add a few new songs. I added that one, and I listened to the words, just thinking and got inspiration to draw. The picture isn't good, so I'm not going to scan it, but see what you think of when you hear this song:<br />
<br />
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing<br />
Watch you smile while you are sleeping<br />
While you're far away and dreaming<br />
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender<br />
I could stay lost in this moment forever<br />
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure<br />
<br />
I don't wanna close my eyes<br />
I don't wanna fall asleep<br />
Cause I'd miss you, baby<br />
And I don't wanna miss a thing<br />
Cause even when I dream of you<br />
The sweetest dream will never do<br />
I'd still miss you, baby<br />
And I don't wanna miss a thing<br />
<br />
<br />
Lying close to you feeling your heart beating<br />
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming<br />
Wondering if it's me you're seeing<br />
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together<br />
And I just wanna stay with you<br />
In this moment forever, forever and ever<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't wanna close my eyes<br />
I don't wanna fall asleep<br />
Cause I'd miss you, baby<br />
And I don't wanna miss a thing<br />
Cause even when I dream of you<br />
The sweetest dream will never do<br />
I'd still miss you, baby<br />
And I don't wanna miss a thing<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't wanna miss one smile<br />
I don't wanna miss one kiss<br />
Well, I just wanna be with you<br />
Right here with you, just like this<br />
I just wanna hold you close<br />
Feel your heart so close to mine<br />
And stay here in this moment<br />
For all the rest of time<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't wanna close my eyes<br />
Don't wanna fall asleep<br />
Cause I'd miss you, baby<br />
And I don't wanna miss a thing<br />
Cause even when I dream of you<br />
The sweetest dream will never do<br />
Cause I'd still miss you, baby<br />
And I don't wanna miss a thing<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't wanna close my eyes<br />
I don't wanna fall asleep<br />
Cause I'd miss you, baby<br />
And I don't wanna miss a thing<br />
Cause even when I dream of you<br />
The sweetest dream will never do<br />
I'd still miss you, baby<br />
And I don't wanna miss a thing<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't wanna close my eyes<br />
Don't wanna fall asleep, yeah<br />
I don't wanna miss a thing ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I think for Valentines Day, I will actually read up on how it even got started. About the Saint, and what-not.<br />
<br />
Ya know, I actually used to DESPISE Valentines Day. If you really love someone, what difference is one day out of the whole year? It's because all the stores want your money, so they make you think you have to buy something for someone, just because It's a minor Saint holiday. I only buy those special SweeTarts heart-shaped candies...for myself......They taste good, OK??<br />
<br />
Though I do suppose doing something special that night would be romantic. A nice dinner....and evening watching the sunset together....but not all this "OMG IT'S VALENTINES DAY, I GOTTA GO GET CARDS, FLOWERS, CHOCOLATES, AND STUFFED ANIMALS TO SHOW THAT I LOVE HER!!!!"<br />
<br />
If you can't say you love someone without all of that, what makes you think you love them at all? Just show them you love them.<br />
<br />
So advice for all you people out there who are considering buying LAVISH gifts for your lover: Just spend time with them. It shows you love them more than some chocolates, a card, or a bundle of roses. It's not about what you get, but what you have together.<br />
<br />
.................plus. I don't have that kind of money to go and buy all that stuff. ]]></description>
