*PalominoLegacy, just so you know, I haven't forgotten about the breeding! I've just been getting my stable in order. That, and schoolwork take up a lot of my time. I'm so sorry I'm taking so long, but I promise I am working on it!

I hope whoever is still reading this is having a nice September.

My last journal update was months ago; my last submission even longer. My only excuse is that I really haven't done anything in the way of writing lately. I've definitely gravitated away from photoshop. Will I go back? Depends on how bored I get in the summer.

First off, the stats: I have 2,819 deviations and 1,456 messages. That's scary. Now, the pathetic truth is that I probably won't get to all of them, so I apologize profusely if something is skipped over.

Second, the dues: ~Wicked-Truth I am so sorry that I haven't finished the Seascape/Wicky story yet; it's not for lack of trying, I promise. I'm trying to get it finished, but not rush it so much that it turns out crappy. Just know that I haven't forgotten. And I even have an extra surprise to throw in as an apology.

Now, to the thing that kickstarted this journal: I'm working on a new story. It started out as a little inconsequential project; I saw everyone doing this interesting HARPG, and though 'well, instead of drawing, maybe I could write'. Honestly, I just thought it was a part of my horse phase (yes, most of this horse stuff is a pahse. Not a shallow one, mind you, but a phase nonetheless. I've only ridden twice in my life, and neither time was spectacular. I don't plan to work with or own horses later on in life. I just view them with the same majestic awe that I view almost every animal) I wanted to test myself as a writer, thinking that writing from an animal's perspective, while not revolutionary, would be a fun challenge. I soon learned I'm better with people.

Anywhosits, what started out as a little, meaningless project actually gained quite a bit of depth in my mind. The story is of a stable and the twin sisters who run it, and while that sounds a bit trivial, there's so much else to it that I couldn't possibly explain, mostly because I haven't even sorted it out myself. But the story is growing and developing, and I'm beginning to love it. The main characters and stables have ties to Slavic mythology; the love interests have ties to Celtic, Norse, and Greek myths. And yes, its beginning to look like the entire story will focus a lot on mythology, and I love that.

I'm still in the planning stage, so I haven't even started writing, but I'm so excited. I just hope this isn't one of those projects that's more fun to plan than to execute.

I just had an itch to tell someone. Who better than the few people still reading my journal?

Much love,

Silver Koi

So, I don't know why I keep doing these things, foolishly and falsely assuming that anyone who reads this actually knows who my characters are. If you get curious, feel free to ask. I like talking about my babies X3

Name 12 of your original characters.

I. Silver Koi
II. Lenore
III. Roksana
IV. Angelle
V. Evy
VI. Angie
VII. Calliope
VIII. Bastet
IX. Leonardo
X. Shaelyn
XI. Todd
XII. Daffney

I. I (Silver Koi), VI (Angie), and XI (Todd) are all told to wait in a room together until someone comes in to get them. Let's say no one does. Who would leave the room first?
Angie, easily. She doesn’t like to stay in one place for long, plus she detests being ordered around. Todd would probly fall asleep, and Koi would just float around in that dazed way.

II. If II (Lenore) had to do one nice thing for VIII (Bastet), what would it be?
Buy Bastet’s meat pies. Lenore has no qualms about eating a person.

III. If IV (Angelle) and VII (Calliope) co-starred in a movie, what genre would it most likely fall under?
Fantasy Western – when a mermaid comes to the Old West!

IX. If III (Roksana) was made into a toy, who would be more likely to buy it, IX (Leonardo) or X (Shaelyn)?
Leo would kill for a Roksy toy, just so he could do naughty things with it. I don’t think Roksana would mind.

V. Would V (Evy) be likely to consider stalking XII (Daffney), or vise versa?
Vice versa. If Daffney ever found out what Evy could do, she’d never leave the poor girl alone. On the plus side, Evy could practice her Australian accent.

VI. What would VI (Angie) make the better star of? An anime or a newspaper comic strip?
Comic strip. I wanna see Angie’s frizzy red hair stuffed into a single panel.

VII. VIII (Bastet) wants to buy a car but can't decide who offers a better bargan. Should (s)he buy from II (Lenore) or XI (Todd)?
No one should buy anything from Lenore. Ever. Bastet would trust her brother over a strange vampire who likes her pies just a little too much.

VIII. If V (Evy) wanted to dye his or her hair but could not decide on the color, would (s)he rely on I's (Silver Koi) opinion or IV's (Angelle)?
I think Evy would trust a fellow female over a spiritual fish being who, sadly, has no hair.

IX. Whose babies would be cuter, XII (Daffney) and III's (Roksana) or IX (Leonardo) and II's (Lenore)?
Tough call. Leo and Lenore’s baby would be super Italian/Aryan child, with ivory, milky skin and curly blonde hair; Daff and Roks’ kid would be very tan with dark, dark brown locks. For the record, I think Calliope and Lenore’s kid would be the most beautiful person ever - vibrant blonde and sea-green hair with pale milk skin that shined blue. How amazing would that be?

X. Who would have a DeviantArt account; and if not, what would their reason be?
Daffney, just so she could screw with people.

He's underneath the window; she's singing
"Hey la, my boyfriend's back.
You shouldn't come around here, singing up people like that
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?"

Okay, I REALLY love the Killers.

Black Friday was kickass. Yes, I had to wake up at 4 a.m. (a most ungodly hour) and yes, I only had four hours of sleep. But I spent $190. And am now thoroughly broke. Yes, I am putting that on the pro side of the pro-con list. Along with my two BRAND NEW KILLERS CDS. Hellz yes.

I noticed that my gallery has been unfairly monopolized. I don't know if that's going to change, but at least I noticed, right?

You may get a few personal essays since some interesting topics have presented themselves, but for some reason, I just haven't felt like writing much. Hopefully, that'll change.

That's where we'll be.

I finished the last episode of the last disc of the last season of Gilmore Girls. And cried. Like a baby.

That show is my life, I swear. I don't know what I'm going to do now that it's over.

Oh, wait, yes, I do. MOVIE! MOVIE! MOVIE!

Don't let me down, Amy!

But this journal isn't about that.

So, after bawling like a little kid dragged out of a candy store without so much as a lollipop, I became bored. And we all know what Lenny does when she's bored, right?

That's right - think up crazy stories in her head! Then run to dA to find sufficient linearts in which to colour to voice those stories to people who won't gawk at me like I should be wearing a helmet and straitjacket.

So, of course, that's what I did. And, after an hour of searching, I relized this site is very scarce of good dog linearts! I had some good ideas, but because I can't let them loose, they must stay inside my head, where they'll keep piling up until my brain finally explodes and gets brain goo all over my house and then I'll have to clean that up, which would be a. totally gross, and b. impossible! Because I'll have no sentient thought with which to operate a mop or broom or dustpan because my brain is now occupying the floor between the lazy susan and the refrigerator (yes, I exploded in the kitchen. Why? Because it was lunchtime), so the goo will sit in the hot Kentucky sun and congeal until it becomes a creature in and of itself, whose bitter thoughts will cause it to crawl out the door and collect other small, bitter beings (i.e. ants, rolie-polies, ladybugs - the weaklings of the bug world) until it becomes a huge monster that reeks havoc and mayhem on downtown Louisville (buh-bye, Ali's head; see ya, Belle of Louisville; adios, Science Center). Eventually, the city will crumble under it's awesome might, and it will move on to other, larger, even more bitter cicties, until it has destroyed the entire world!

Have I made the situation grave enough yet or do you need more?

So, guess who's back.

That's right: I've returned!

I do believe I can hear the crickets through the computer. lol

Don't expect much from the procrastinator, though I will be catching up on all my messages.

I'm really sorry that I haven't been commenting on anything, but hopefully, that will change.

I've missed y'all.

Its good to take your mind off of things.

Name: Calliope & Shaelyn (because they are, and forever will be, one)
Gender: Both females
Age: Both about 19 winters
Species: Calli is a mermaid; Shaelyn is an avian (bird-girl)
Birthplace: Calli was born from a soft-shelled egg that her outcast koi parents let rest in a clam; Shae was born with her brothers and sisters in a nest atop a high mountain.
Appearance: Calli has light blue skin with silver runic armbands and a dark grey fishtail with silver markings; Shae has white ivory skin with black circles around both eyes and red and black markings on her legs.
Hair: Calli - moss-coloured green streaked with silver; Shae - brown coloured streaked with red.
Eyes: Calli - bright green; Shae - deep red
Behaviour: Calliope is very timid and shy - being an outcast all her life has made her this way; Shaelyn on the other hand, is extremely outgoing and a fun-lover
Fav. Food: Calli - a nice, big barracuda (but she never has the courage to hunt one down herself); Shae doesn't really have one.
Fav. Drink: Both don't really have any.
Family: Calli's parents abandoned her and she has no siblings, so she mostly lives alone on the outskirts of the school; Shae has many brothers and sisters, though none are half-breeds like her
Sexual orientation: Both are technically lesbians (since they love each other), but they don't look at or love anyone but the other.

Interview with character:
What do you do for a living?
C: Swim the seas, trying to survive for another day. Trying to find a place where I can be accepted.... where someone can love me.
S: Soaring the skies, having a good time with my friends, looking for trouble.

Do you have a lover, wife/husband or such?
C: Yes... she's a wonderful, free-spirited falcon/hawk named Shaelyn.
S: Of course! None other than the sad, beautiful mermaid named Calliope.

Do you have a dream, something you feel like you want to achieve?
C: I want to be free; free of prejudice, free of pain, free of chains.... Just to soar freely with my beloved.
S: I want to find someone who looks past my "superior birth" and loves me for me. Finding a way in which I could be with Calliope permanently, is high on the list, too.

What do you think would be your perfect date?
C: Sittign under the stars, watching the moon, with Shaelyn...
S: Sitting under the stars, watching the moon, with Calliope...

What kind of people interest you?
C: Beautiful people
S: Complicated people

Are there any people you hate?
C & S: All the people who wish to keep us apart...

I still just love those two. <3

Once again, I apologize for not answering.... anything.

I didn't get into GSA.

Just found out today.

They decieved me by sending it in a large envelope - am I the only one who thinks that is usually a good sign?

But, no - it didn't happen.

I wouldn't expect writing anytime soon; my self-esteem is lower than the dirt on my shoes.

First, it was Heath Ledger dying. That really got me.

I haven't been in a good mood since it happened.

And now this...

It's all just bad timing.

I'll be back... someday.

But for now, I just need to wallow a bit.

I've been listening to it incessantly.

Audrey II is love.

Fun quiz! Stolen from ~Tigra-angel

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

(I don't think any of you will know who half these characters are. XD I should work on that...)

1. Silver Koi
2. Roksana
3. Lenore
4. Bastet
5. Calliope
6. Todd
7. Matty
8. Shaelyn
9. Flamewen
10. Majeek


1) 4 invites 3 and 8 to dinner at their house. What happens?
Well, considering 4 is a werecat with some strange tastes, they'd probably be attacked and baked into pies. Although, Lenore'd fight back and Shae would fly away. All in all, very unproductive.

2) 9 tries to get 5 to go to a strip club.
lawlz. Is there such a thing as a horse strip club? And would a mermaid want to go? It'd make for an interesting night, at the least.

3) You need to stay at a friends house for the night. Do you chose 1 or 6?
Koi doesn't really live anywhere, and Todd (or his sister) would try to eat me, so......

Can I have another choice?

4) 2 and 7 are making out. 10 walks in...Their reaction?
That's freaky! That just happens to be my wolf and my person-who-turns-into-wolf characters. Life is funny. Majeek would probably just walk out.

5) 3 falls in love with 6. 8 is jealous. What happens?
Wow, Lenore and Todd? That might actually happen. Sahe would just run back to the arms of Calliope.

6) 4 jumps you in a dark allyway. Who comes to your rescue? 10,2 or 7?
Attack of the werecat! Roksana - definitely. She's not nice like that or anything, but she'd feel obligated. We share a bond, my little loup-garoux and me.

7) 1 decides to start a cooking show. 15 minutes later what is happening?
It's the one being cooked...... Is that mean?

8) 5 is in a car crash and is critically injured. What does 9 do?
Since when do half-fish people drive?! What the hell kinda society do we live in? Flame would probably just keep on eating grass.


9) 3 has to marry either 8,4 or 9. Who do they chose?
Wow, birdgirl, werecat, or horse? I think Lenore would choose Shae; they're both adventurous.

10) 7 kidnaps 2 and demands something from 5 for 2's release. What is it?
Matty is in crazy wolf-love! Erm.... either a safe place for her pup or some fun undersea treasure...?

11) You get to meet either 1 or 6. Who do you chose?
Silver Koi! How the hell could I pass up meeting the amalgamation of my soul?

12) 10 challenges 4 to a chariot race. Why?
Because Majeek has teh all-powerful magic to kick Bastet's ass. Although, if Bastet goes sphynx on her, she might have a run for her money.

13) Everyone gangs up on 3. Does 3 have a chance in hell?
Hard to say. Shae, Roks, and Todd would put up a helluva fight. So would Lenore, though. Koi could take her, just cause my Koi can't really die....... Wait, we're being so mean to our OCs why?

14) Everyone is invite to 2 and 10 wedding except for 8. How do they react?
Pissed. Shae'd probably crash the party with a flock of her Avian friends.


15) Why is 6 afraid of 7?
Because 7 kicks ass. Todd is bigger; Matty is crazier.


16) 10 gathers everyone around to tell them a fairy tale. How does it go?
Several would fall asleep; others would just stare blankly. Only a couple would be truly interested. Poor Majeek. XD

17) 1 arrives late for 2 and 10's wedding. What happens? And why are they late?
They forgive it because Silver Koi kinda freaks them out. And it probably got distracted wondering why rain falls down or why trees bleed.

18) 5 and 9 get roaring drunk and end up at your house. What happends?
Calli is drunk?! Can a mermiad get drunk?...... Can a horse get drunk? Ah, well. I would be their designated driver. Calliope back to the ocean; Flame back to her pasture.

19) 3,8,6 and 4 all go to the zoo for 8's brithday party. How does it go? What presents do they get 8?
At first, Shaelyn is devastated that her lover, Callope, didn't come (that is, until Calliope probably surprises her by popping out of the dolphin tank or something). Lenore would get her jewelry, Todd would get her feathers (probably ripped off of some poor defensless bird he ate), and Bas... ]]> ~PoorLenore http://PoorLenore.deviantart.com/journal/15943995/ http://PoorLenore.deviantart.com/journal/15943995/ Sat, 15 Dec 2007 11:43:36 PST

My soul will be steady

]]> ~PoorLenore http://PoorLenore.deviantart.com/journal/15909168/ http://PoorLenore.deviantart.com/journal/15909168/ Wed, 12 Dec 2007 19:50:26 PST I think that possibly, maybe I'm falling for you.
I think that possibly I've fallen quite hard over you.
I see the ptah that your eyes travel down
I wanna come, too.

I never knew just what it was
About this old coffee shop I love so much.

That song is brilliantly beautiful. It makes me want a lover.

Many people have been doing this, so I thought what the hell? Let's jump on the brimming bandwagon.

STEP ONE
Make a post to your DA journal. The post should contain your list of ten holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a ______ icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("all I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV."). The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you. *Note I don't actually share my info...if you really do want to get in touch with me send me a note and I'll let you know what you need to know

Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your DA or link to this post so that the holiday joy will spread.

STEP TWO
Surf around your friends list (or friends' friends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now, here's the important part:

If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use -- do it.

You need not spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf -- to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not -- it's your call.

There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Give, and you might receive. and you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

My Wishlist:

1. A guy worthy of a sappy Lifetime movie to call my own (and to sing Landon Pigg with me)

2. A house surrounded by snowy woods - something straight from a Robert Frost poem.

3. An icon including my name, the hanging-man picture I already have, a silver koi, and something to do with the Beatles.

4. Illustrations for any of my poems or stories.

5. Inspiration!

6. Luck on my GSA application

7. Koi art is always appreciated!

8. There to be a national Truth holiday.

9. Tickets to either Phantom of the Opera or the Conan O'Brien show.

10. Something else to wish for. XD

11. My best friend home for Christmas! I shall miss you, sa-chan.

Sleepless long nights
That is what my youth was for.
Those teenage hopes
Alive at your door
Left you with nothing
But they want some more

Hello, all! 8D

Bit long since I've updated, eh?

Nothing uber-important; just little things.

I just finished watching Blazing Saddles; god, I love Mel Brooks!

He just has so much talent.

The Producers, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Robin Hood, Spaceballs, History of the World, Part I....

Ah, much love.

Still having teenage troubles (boys, school, friends...) but I won't bore you with those.

I have a couple story ideas, but I'm not sure if I'll get them done:

One is a small thing relating to the fish-and-bird lineart; I still just love those two.

Second is one about bird people; I keep thinking about the way one species of eagles mate - they fly up into the air, hold each other's feet, and plummet toward the earth - and I think that'd be fun.

If I actually do those, they'll probably painfully short.

But my third idea might be fairly long-term: I have this plot about a world of people in a time that'd be near-future, if not current time, who have a sort of animal partner, an animalistic amalgimation of their soul.

Yes, the Golden Compass movie has effected me. XD

But mine'd be a bit different.

The animals wouldn't be shape-shifters, and they'd be directly related to who they're owners really are. Also, the heirarchy of their society is decided by what breed of animal they have.

Canines would be the foot soldiers, with a few specifics - like a "domesticated" breed would be just in the Army, a wolf may be in the special forces, a fox would probably be a high-rank planner, etc.

Felines would be the thinkers - the strategists and scientists.

I have this crazy idea that reptiles would be the hitmen of the society. With their own classes, like a komodo or an alligator or crocodile would be high-class, while an iguana would be just a simple job. Like a Mafia! 8D

Equines would be the laborers - doing farmwork and so forth.

Avians would be the merchants, the ones to travel and trade.

Vermin (mice, rats, etc.) would be the poor peasants.

And at the very top of the heirarchy (go with me on this) - fish!

They are spiritual people and very rare; I'm thinking there's only going to be three of them.

And then the story would go on to be about another fish person showing up and basically turning the entire system upside down.

Good? Bad?.... Ugly?

Opinions are welcome!

I wanna make you move
because you're standing still
If you're body matches what your eyes can do
You'll prob'ly move right through me
On my way to you

You know what I miss?

Elemental-based pictures.

I just haven't seen one in a while.

Maybe I haven't been looking that hard. XD

I think your favorite element says a lot about you.

Mine used to be fire (like every other emo/punk, bleeding-heart kid)

But, lately, I've been thinking.

And I think I like water better.

It just seems more smooth and calm.

*ramble-ness* XD

Just a sidenote, my notes don't seem to want to work.

So watch out when communicating that way.

I don't think I'm the only one.

Anyone else find their notes fucking up?

This just looked interesting and quick, so I stole it.

SO IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?
So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...


Opening credits: Burn This City - Cartel

Prison Song: Wasting my Time - Default

Waking up: Break My Fall - Breaking Benjamin

First day of school: Broomstick - Draco and the Malfoys

Falling in love: This Modern Love - Bloc Party (Freaky!)

Fight song: Lucky St. - Cartel

Breaking up: You're So Vain - Carly Simon (Also freaky)

Prom: Trust Me - The Fray

Life: Jumper - Third Eye Blind

Mental Breakdown: Cold - Crossfade

Driving: God Killed the Queen - Louis XIV

Flashback: Winter - Joshua Radin

Getting back together: The End of a Fraud - Armor for Sleep

Wedding: Ready, Steady, Go - Meices

Birth of a child: Life Support - From RENT

Final Battle: Soul Love - David Bowie ( Oh, god, XD )

Death Scene: Both Sides Now - Joni Mitchell (Yay)

Funeral Song: Never Leave - Seether

End Credits: Video Killed the Radio Star - Radiohead

Wow, all in all, I'm happy!

I like my soundtrack.

I tag whoever wants to do this. :3



~ The Silver Koi

And now we meet in an abandoned studio
You hear the playback and it seems so long ago
Anf you remember that the people used to show

You were the first one
You were the last one

Video killed the radio star

If you can keep a secret
I got a blanket in the backseat on my mind
And a little place that sits beneath the sky
She turned her face to scream
But no one heard her cry

Driver fatser, boy!

Old journal bumpage. 8D

Plus, I have some news - which may or may not interest you all.

Oh, well.

First - got some fun events coming up! I'm going to Shah's Mongolian Grill (yes, believe it or not, Mongolian Grills actually exist!) on Saturday, then over to Sa-chan's birthday (SARAH, I DON'T CARE IF ME, YOU, AND ARIEL ARE THE ONLY ONES THERE - WE SHALL STILL HAVE A BALL WORTHY OF YOUR SWEET SIXTEEN!)

On Dec. 1st, I have Payal's birthday.

In Lake Forest.

A.k.a. the rich part of town.

That promises to be something. :3

And also, I've been invited to Florida for Spring Break!

My friend has never seen the ocean, and I really want to be there when she does.

Second - I hate shitty teenage drama! 8D

No offense to other teens, but I've always considered myself "above" the trials that plague my peers. And frankly, I've always thought it was never worth my time.

But, apparently, I was wrong.

Now, in the course of one week!, I have been shown that even I succumb to... well, shitty teenage drama.

A friend who is pissed at me and and won't tell me why - and, apparently, me not already knowing is making her even more pissed! I'm not a mind-reader, girl!

And then a guy who jumps back into my life after not speaking to me for a year....

Yeah, suffice to say, it's been a strange week.

But, I finally found the mail-in application for GSA!

And I once again, need y'all's help.

Pick my best peoms, please! So I have a bit of insight on what I should send in.

Also, what should my manuscript be called?

I was thinking "The Writing and Rhymes of Mistress Maddy"

or maybe

"The Floodgates Are Open"

Weird, I know. XD

But I like 'em!

Have a good life, my droogies.

There's a cold front sweeping
In over my heart
And we might break up
If I don't wake up
To the sun.

*EDIT*

1,002 deviations!

XDDDD;;;;;;

I'm sorry, my droogies, but I think I shall have to click the delete button.

If there's anything you want me to see, just tell me!

~~~~~~~~~

Ah, I'm disappointed.

Just watched House of Usher.

Utter bastardization of Poe's wonderful story!

But, my hopes shouldn't have been that high; no remakes I've seen of Poe (or much else, for that matter) have been good.

They completely got the main theme wrong!

It's not the family line that's cursed!

It's the house!

At least, that's what I took away from the story.

And, if I remember correctly, there was no mention of incest whatsoever.

But, hey, they needed a plot.



As far as normal movies go, it wasn't that bad.

Well.... it was.

But a kind of "bad-but-it-had-something-good-about-it-so-you-don't-really-hate-it" thing.

But the girl was such a whore.

"I came to say goodbye to Maddy, not to see you, Maddy's twin brother who I'm unexplainably overly-attracted to!"

*has sex with him about three times*

"Like, I said, I came to say goodbye to Maddy!"

Oh, yes, one extremely freaky part in this movie was hearing them say I'm dead

Several times, the guy says "Maddy's dead!" and I became extremely paranoid.

She even spells it the way I do!

And her real name isn't Madison, but Madeline!

It was weird.

And yes, she ended up being my favorite character, even though she was six feet under.

Okay, enough of a movie ramble. XD

I saw a commerial - and it disturbed me.

Apparently, they are turning one of the most notorious gangster guns, a gun that killed hundreds, maybe thousands of people in the early 1900's....

And turning it into a dart gun.

Introducing the Tommy 20! 8D

"Hit people with darts just like Al Capone did with real bullets!"

That truly deserves a "Look How Commercial the US Has Become"

Okay, I think I'm done.

Pointless entry.

And tired.

And annoyed.

And not able to control my keyboard. XD

Damn drama.

It's done gone and pissed me off.

But I'm too loopy from sleep depravation and sickness to really care.

So, yeah. 8D

I have a great idea.

Let's stop fighting....

And got to bed! 8D

Not all together, of course, but..... yeah.



Interesting sidenote, you will probably be seeing a strange spurt of stuff that actually looks like it was drawn by me (and believe me, you can tell XD )

Now, don't adjust your computers - that is actually my work!

Shocking, isn't it?

Now, don't think all the lineart haters have gotten to me; I'm ignoring those *insert fitting insult here*

No, I'm just bored.

And this is me confronted by a condescending problem on a shitty day.

Beware!

What the fuck is up with some people?

Some dumbasses who had nothing better to do brutally attacked an innocent artist (and I do feel for her), but WE ("lineartists", I suppose) get blamed?!

How the fuck does that work?!

Here are these people trying to make us (ME) feel shitty just because I saw some linearts that said "Hey! Feel free to colour!" and actually decided to do it?!

What is the fucking logic behind that??!!

I feel bad for you, Ani, I really do; what they did was horrid and just downright mean.

But it's THEIR fault, not OURS!

And I know you're not the one blaming us; this doesn't go out to you....

Or anyone reading this journal, really.

Just a select few people who's mindset must be "Oh! These people are being bitchy? Well, there must be a plausible reason because we all know that the human race in general is not an ignorant group of patriarchal, shit-throwing monkeys that will attack it's own just because it wants to. I know! Let's blame the group of people that I don't particularly like! That's not stereotyping AT ALL!"

Hey!

Just because you don't "like" us, or "respect" us, for whatever fucking reason your mind has come up with, does NOT mean we caused every shitty event on here!

I hate George Bush, but does that mean I think he's personally responsible for acid rain? No!

Ever think that MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, there are actually people in the world who find it funny to insult and demean people?

Hey, guess what!

THEY EXIST!

I HAVE A NEW RULE

Tha should be enacted on DA!

How about everyone just uploads WHAT THEY WANT, as long as it's not stolen, and people just GET OVER IT!

IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, OR DON'T AGREE WITH IT, OR DON'T "RESPECT" IT -

DON'T FUCKING LOOK AT IT!

Okay, I"m done.

Again, I feel shitty.

And defiant.

So, it's prob'ly just best to ignore me.

*Update from a much better day*

I've found a way to connect George Bush to obesity in America. XD

They shook
And heavens bowed before them.
Simply a look
Can break
Your heart.

Moldy oldie. XD

I has a queeestion for youse peoples that watch me!

And now we take away the demented typing.

Don't blame me; I watched Rocky IV last night.

"I will break you"

XDD...... ah, Drago.

Okay, back to business.

Two sentences of the question variety:

1. What are your views on fanfics?

And...

2. How would you feel if I wrote one?

I've written my fair share, but I've never really posted them on here.

~PalominoLegacy, if you're reading this, don't worry! I will get your first chapter up before I start.

I'm not that irresponsible.

But I have this story buzzing in my head like a little highly caffienated bee!

All because of one movie.

300.

Yes, I've been sucked in.

Yes, I can't seem to stop talking about it.

Yes, I've quoted "THIS IS SPARTA!" at least three times today (much to the dismay of my friends )

And, yes, I have a full movie crush on Astinos.

He's just so....

Pretty!

So, yes, warn me if you have an opinion of "OMFG!I-HATE-FANFICS-AND-WILL-COMPLETELY-ABANDON-YOU-IF-YOU-DO-ONE!"

Depending on who you are, I may not care.

Or I may cry.

We shall see.

*edit*

And to all the people wondering, the plot will mainly consist of Astinos falling in love with an Athenian girl and the trials and tribulations.

I'm still part red-man
Deep inside.
Cherokee people;
Cheroke tribes.
So proud to live;
So proud to die

Ah, I love that song.

It speaks to the small part Native American in me.

Just a little update.

Went to Huber's today; loads of fun.

Saw my World Civ teacher (yeah, you kids who read my journal and go to my school; I think there's about two of ya; Gillum was at Huber's pickin' pumpkins!)

And this wonderfully adorable waiter!

.... Who didn't serve our table.

Damn.

I digress.

But, I did get my aunt's digital camera, so prepared to be spammed with pictures!

If you don't want to look, I don't care.

They were mostly for my amusement.

Also, the spamming will be of linearts, too.

As if I haven't been doing that already. XD

I read someone's journal the other day, and they were complaining about these "unimaginative people" who didn't "have a creative bone in their body" and always had to "steal other people's linearts".

And..... I had nothing to say.

Because I am one of those people.

And I realize it may get tedious looking at my gallery, but not for me.

I work hard on my linearts.

And, truthfully, I see no future for me in art.

So, the creative outlet I need to be working on is writing, which I have been doing.

So, if anyone reading this is mad that I never really darw my own stuff.....

Sorry.

It's probably not gonna happen.

Definitely not until I turn my GSA application in.

But I'm okay with that.

Alright; just had to have my say.

Hope you all have wonderful weeks!

Peace, love, and rock n' roll!

Alright, this is a plea to anyone who knows about dogs.

Specifically, dog illnesses.

I need your help!

One of my dogs, Tucker (a australian shepherd mutt) or Chyna (a rottweiler/german shepherd/chow/unknown mutt), is very sick.

Every morning, we wake up to a runny pile of shit that should not come from a healthy dog.

This has been going on for three days.

The problem is that we cannot take them to the vet; we're not sure which one is sick and it's not in our budget to take them both.

So, if there's anyone out there who knows about a kind of medicine for this, please tell me.

We could really use it.

I may have to just follow them around all day and find out which one is leaving us these horrid surpirses.

But, yes.

Now, to other news....

I've been so racked with homework lately that deviations and journals have gotten ignored.

I'm so sorry!

I'll try to get to them, but if there's anything you really want me to see or to read, it may be in your best interest to tell me.

God, why does it feel like this is what I always have to resort to? XD

PEACE, LOVE, AND HARMONY!

I think thoughts that I know are bad.
Close my eyes and I count to ten.
Hope it's over when I open them.

Close my eyes when I got to bed
And I dream of angels who make me smile.
I feel better when I hear them say
Everything will be wonderful someday.

Promises mean everything when you're little
And the world is so big.
I just don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
And tell me everything is wonderful now.

I don't wanna hear you say
That I will understand someday.

I just want my life to be the same
Just like it used to be.
Some days I hate everything
Everyone and everything.
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now.

I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now.

All I want is a peaceful home.

Is that too much to ask?

Did I do something so pissy that the one thing I'd trade my entire being for is completely out of my reach?

I complain about being alone and not finding a person thats right for me.

Then, I look at my family.

I look at my genes.....

And it all makes sense.

Heredity has screwed me over. Big time.

All these things are coming to light; all this shitty drama.

And I just can't take it.

I almost fully wish to revert back to my childhood years.

Not because they were peaceful. Oh, no; everything going on now was probably going on then.

But because I was blissfully unaware.

Nobody told me anything, and I was happy.

Now, I know everything.....

And I hate it.

I feel too guilty to confront anyone about it.

So, there's nothing I can do.

So, me knowing is basically useless other than to slowly rip me apart.

Which it's achieving.

Agh.

And now, I'm taking it out on you poor souls who read my journals.

I'm sorry for being so emo.

I just can't seem to control it anymore.

I don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
And tell me everything will be wonderful someday

Ignorance is Bliss

Again, apologies.

I just went to Barnes N' Nobles, and I had so much fun.

Five new books!

And all for very good prices.

Oliver Twist ($3), Thus Spoke Zarathustra ($8 - SA-CHAN, NEITZSCHE ALERT!), The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde along with other Short Stories ($8), One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest ($6), and Eclipse ($16)

NO SPOILERS ON ECLIPSE!

I haven't even read New Moon yet.

Bad Stephanie Meyers' fan.

But, oh, yes! Sarah!

I saw Natalie at B-n-N, but it was extremely anticlimactic! XD

All I did was turn and see her, we waved, and then got on with the rest of our lives.

But! I have a challenge for all you people who read meh journals; that's like, what, 3 of you?

If you can guess what two books, movies, and/or people I'm quoting in my signature, I shall show you this uber-hilarious picture I found!

I just feel like doing something. XD

The quotes are:

"WAR IS PEACE

FREEDOME IS SLAVERY

IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH"

and

"Men must either be caressed or else destroyed"

I need the name of the book and the author, the name of the movie and who said it, and/or the name of the person who said it.

Gawd, I'm so bored.

RUSSEL CROWE IS A SICK SONNOFABITCH!



Yeah, I just saw 3:10 to Yuma.

Don't worry; no big spoilers.

I wouldn't do that to you loverly people.

But I do have a couple things to say.

1. It seems that no matter how weird he is, no matter how dirty he looks, no matter how much facial hair he amounts.........

I will always love Christian Bale.

2. Charlie Prince had some sort of strange man-crush on Russel Crowe. XD

I mean, he was just far too determined for someone who didn't have a secret man-crush.

3. Russel Crowe can play one evil em-effer. XDDD

Plus, with a casts made of the ship-flyer from Firefly, a guy who looks like Willie Nelson, a Christian Bale-son who looks strangely like Zac Effron (only a bit cuter; thank god), Luke Wilson with yellow teeth, and a railroad yuppie who bares a good resemblance to Val Kilmer, only add a large, handlebar mustache.

But, yes.

I now want to see American Gangster, We Own the Night, and There Will Be Blood (and Eastern promises, but that's a different topic completely XD ; Frank Hopkins with a Russian accent - ftw!)

I'm becoming so proud of movie titles these days.

And I want to stay as far away as I can from Saw IV.

Saw is the Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, and Halloween for my generation.

And I must say, it pales in comparison.

Just had to get that in there.

Well, this is an apology for all those people who deviated, because I have been able to view their deviations, but I don't want them to stop deviating, because without those deviants, deviations wouldn't be worth looking at!

That sounded better in my head. XD

Yes! 201 in my inbox.

Only have time to look at friends; sorry (although, I don't know who I'm apologizing to, because only friends read this journal. )

I may not comment on everything, BUT I'LL DAMN SURE LOOK AT IT! 8D

Yes; now for trivial stuff.

Horoscope
"Though you'll see plenty that others might disapprove of, you hold that it's not your place to judge good from bad." - Which is hilariously ironic, because for the past week-and-a-half, we have been talking about Sparta/Athens/and some African tribal customs, to which most people respond "OMG, I can't believe they did that! How horrible!"

Me? I'm just like "Okay, that was their custom." XD

Christine, I love you.

You alone can make my song take flight;
It's over now, the music of the night.

So.....

276 deviations.

Yep.



Well, just wanted you to know, I have a busy weekend:

Saturday with (watching Spring Awakening and private school boy-love, a.k.a. this fabulous movie, 'If...', Sunday birthday parties, and Monday (which I have off; go, holidays!) trying to knock out all my World Civ homework for the next week.

So, I may not have time to comment on all of the works in my inbox, but I'll sure look at 'em!

But, yes, if some of you will recall my last, relatively short journal, I had a rather nasty case o' writer's block.

It's gone.

At least for the moment.

All thanks to Lifetime.

There was this brilliant movie on last night called White Oleander.

I just loved it.

And it really got the ol' muse pumping.

Sadly, I'm not sure I can upload it to dA since it's not a complete story, or even thought.

Just kinda random paragraphs and ideas.

I still love it though.

OH, yes, FYI: Patrick Fugit looks better with short hair. Long hair gives him too small of a forehead and too large ears.

Also! ~PalominoLegacy, if you're reading this, I'd love to be part of that "Horses of DA" drawing you're doing. I just need a bit of time. My "fursona" is in my head; I haven't exactly put her/him/it onto paper yet.

But I shall try tonight!

Okay, I'm having a serious identity crisis here.

As pathetic as it sounds, I can't choose whether to be the Silver Koi (to which my lovely friends have drawn me lovely giftart ) or to return to my old, yet still wanted, persona of the Madd Hatter (which was always fun to me because I looove Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and he was my favorite; plus, its a play on meh name - Maddy)

Any help for the recent, dumb problem that barely effects my life?

Paper faces on parade;
Masquerade.
Hide your face so the world will never find you.

Yeah, believe it or not, I actually CHOSE to do this!

Freaky, huh?

Well, this was taken from and .

Rules: Pick your favorite anime, and answer the questions according to the anime. (I haven't watched anime in so long.... XD)

1. What anime did you pick to play this with?
Saiyuki :3

2. Who is your favorite character from it?
Cho Hakkai

3. What do you like so much about him/her?
I just love how he is so sweet and nice at first, but if you turn your back, he cuts your head off. I like to think I'm like that.

4. Who do you most pair him/her with?
If she were still alive, his sister. Yes, that's weird, but you'd have to read it to undertand! *defensive mode*

5. What is your favorite opening song from the anime?
...... I'm not completely sure there is an anime...... If there is, I've never seen it.

6. Your favorite ending song from it?
Above!

7. What would you like to see most happen in the anime?
GENJYO TO BE WITH GOKU! Yeah, I'm weird like that. Sarah, I blame you.

8. Who is your favorite villain (if you picked them as your favorite character, pick your SECOND favorite to answer this.)
Kougaiji! The random half-demon who comes in on book 3 who is trying to save his human mother. Second favorite is his sister, Lirin. :3

9. If you could crossover this anime and another one, which other one would you pick?
Very tough...... I choose Rurouni Kenshin.

10. What did you NOT like about the anime?
If there was one, I would probably not like the voices. They never seem to match up with the voices I give them in my head.

11. Is there a manga for it, and if so, do you like it better than the anime?
Yesh, and I LOVE THE MANGA!

12. What character do you most act like?
Goku. ;_; If anyone.

13. Which character would you want to marry?
Hakkai, if any, but he has some serious baggage. Plus, a love for his sister that I do not want in my marriage.

14. Which character is your LEAST favorite?
Th freaky spider-demon! I think she only shows up for one book, but she scares me!

15. If your FAVORITE character woke you up in the middle of the night, what would you do?
Play with Karukyu! Such a cute little dragon.....

16. Do you like the English dub (If there is one) of this anime?
*shrug* I'm not sure one exists.

17. What do you think about this quiz?
Oh meh gawd, so much fun. XD;;;

Okay, call me a dork; I probably warrant it, but thanks to question #9, I think I'm gonna do a second one.

Rurouni Kenshin was just the first actual anime that I got into and I LOVED it for so long.

I must give it proper respect.

1. What anime did you pick to play this with?
Rurounir Kenshin.

2. Who is your favorite character from it?
Soujiro.

3. What do you like so much about him/her?
Almost basically the same reason as Hakkai. So nice and polite up front, but you look away, and suddenly your head is gone. Plus, he never stops smiling because he has such a bad past! That could pull any heartstring.

4. Who do you most pair him/her with?
Misao, on the off-chance she didn't get with..... that - one guy, who she always hung around and loved. Curse my horrid memory. ;;;

Oh! But I must say, if Soujiro were a bit younger, I'd want him to be with Kenshin and Kaoru's son, Kenji. Damn you... ]]> ~PoorLenore http://PoorLenore.deviantart.com/journal/14339993/ http://PoorLenore.deviantart.com/journal/14339993/ Sat, 25 Aug 2007 20:31:27 PDT Where everyone I ever need
Always ends us leavin' me alone.

HOLY CRAP, I'M SO EXCITED! 8DDDD

My best friend just told me about this wonderful thing that's going on in Kentucky!

Apparently, at Transylvanian college, they have this 3-week program for writers, artists, and musicians!

It's completely free if you qualify!

You just have to send in a portfolio.

So, I need you all (my uber-wonderful friends! ) to take a look at all my poetry (and yes, I shall be uplaoding some new ones) and tell me which ones should go!

It needs to be a variety showing my different styles.

Which may be hard considering I'm not sure I have different styles.

I need a minimum of six pages and a maximum of eight pages.

I am slighlty nervous, though, because it looks like I have the hardest interview out of my friends (~Mayamori's going in on drawing, and probably our other friend, Ariel, will want to go as musician).

Not only does my portfolio have to be reviewed by the judges, I also have to go in and have a sit-down meeting with them, joined by three other hopefuls (a.k.a. people I probably won't even know).

There they will aks us general questions about our writing.

All in all, I'm thinking, like, an hour at least.

~Mayamori's is only gonna be about 8 minutes. XD;;;

BUT THERE'S NO WAY I'M SLEEPING TONIGHT!



By the way, if anyone lives near Lexington, Kentucky and is a sophomore/junior/senior at a Kentuckian school and wants to do this, just ask and I'll send you the link.

It hurts so much
To think of you.

Got tagged! Again! -



So, here it is....

1. Post these rules:
2. Each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves
3. Taged people should write a journal
4. At the end of the post 8 more people are tagged and named
5. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged
My things are:
1. Although I call myself a nerd many times, I'm actually only smart in obscure pop culture things. (Sarah, I'M INDIE IN MOVIES! 8D)
2. I openly admit to being obsessed with Harry Potter.
3. Even though I am perfectly fine with gay couples, I become uncomfortable if they make-out around me (which, isn't all that bad, considering the next one...)
4. I'm uncomfortable with any PDA around me, although I usually keep it to myself.
5. I'm a sworn virgin (a.k.a. I never want to have sex in my life)
6. I get pissed when people hear about anti-Christian things and almost immediately assume it was because of Atheists - WE AIN'T ALL BAD, PEOPLE!
7. Bitchy artists ("I'm tired of all these watchers! These people don't care about me! I'm going to call them out and insult them!") annoy me. True, there may be circumstances I'm not aware of, but I say if someone likes your art enough to watch you, let them.
8. I don't understand people who attack supposed "art thieves" randomly. No, I don't condone art theft; its horrible. And this only applies to people that aren't claiming the work as their own - those people are bad. But, the ones that just have a picture up on a site, don't send a nasty comment or email, raving and cussing, before you know what's actually going on. Tell them politely that that artwork is not theirs, and they should ask the artist's permission. If the artists says no, ask them to take it down. If they don't, that's when you can unleash the anger. But I've seen innocent people hurt by horrid comments about them being "fucking art thieves" and "no talent shits" when they didn't even know they were stealing art. C'mon, people, have a heart.

Yeah, those last two were kinda pent-up rants.

I tag!
~ (again! XD), , , , ,

Erm... that's enough.

But! The people I tagged don't have to do it if they don't want to. Hooray for loopholes!

Is it just me, or are there a lot of these goin' around?

~~Rules:
You have to write 6 weird habits/facts/dislikes about yourself. After you fill it out then tag 6 people and make sure to write "You're tagged" on their profile page.

~~6 WEIRD FACTS....
1. I'm obsessed with Harry Potter
2. My guilty pleasure is Gilmore Girls.
3. I sobbed for two days after the DH ended.

But I couldn't remember them all.
I guess its a case of selective recall.

Sat down and wrote a list
Of every girl I ever missed.
But I couldn't come up complete;
Not all of the names would fit on the sheet.

When I sat down and wrote a name on the page,
You were always on the first line.

325 deviations.....

OKAY!

Here's how it has to work, because I do not have time to check all those.

I think I'm only going to look at those by my friends (i.e. everyone on my friends list)

I also must delete all writing.

Sorry!

If there's anyone reading this that has a piece that they'd really like me to see, just say so and I'll go look.

I'm terribly sorry, but my schedule dictates this.

It's been a very hectic, homework-and-school filled week, so I can only check dA on the weekend.

And now, my weekend is packed.

I even had to cancel seeing one my of best friends who I haven't seen in over two weeks because...

I was just too tired!

Plus, I had an 8-page summary for World Civ, and we're going out tonight for my sister's b-day, and tomorrow I must go to my grandma's.

(Sorry again, Sa-chan! I would've been a bummer anyway; I was knocked out by 4:00!)

NEED.... MORE.... TIME!

Wow, nobody warned me sophomore year would be such a bitch.

Hopefully, I'll fall into a routine and it'll work.

But, yes.

Time to go delete deiviations.



EDIT:

Weeell.....

After deletion of non-friends, I still have 111.

Aaaagh..... X_X

So many deviations.....

Two days = 126 and counting.

I'll never get through these tonight.

Don't get me wrong; I ain't asking you to stop!

It's my fault; I just watch too many people.

I can't help it. I love their art!

But, this is a warning.

School is back in session, and I'm in World Civ AP, so thats about 1-2 HOURS of homework a night.

So, I won't have much time for dA.

Sad, I know.

If you don't get comments or faves from me in a while, its because I'm getting really backed up and I just can't get to it.

BUT THEY WILL COME!

Hopefully, I'll have time over the weekend.

DON'T STOP DOIN' THAT WONDERFUL ART!

I have this urge to talk to strange people for no reason at all.

I guess it's from having my best friend gone for a week.

Don't get me wrong; we've been seperated this long before.

But this summer, we've grown closer than ever, and I think my mind may be rebelling since it has not been allowed to release it's weekly crazy.

So, in advance, if I freak anyone out by talking too much or just being generally strange, I am sorry.

Hopefully, you can forgive me and we can move on with our lives.

I think I need sleep.

Or maybe I've had too much sleep.

Maybe I've had too much caffiene.

It's anyone's guess at this point.

Yeah, tonight's gonna be weird.

Love that shirt; you look great!
Hello, how are you?
Love your pants, and your smile.

All we have at the end of the game
Is a lonely road out.
All I know at the end of the day
Is a love to smile now
Even if that's fake.

Consequently, how are you all?

Because I'm great.

Whispering her love, filled with smoke when you smile.
She doesn't know what happens when she's around.

Think I'm in love
But it makes me kinda nervous to say so.

Ah, wonderful news!

I just got back from Michael's and I now own a 72-piece colored pencil set.

I love it!

So many colors, so little time.

As you can tell, I am still overcome with my inner child. XD

But, I also got a brand new sketch pad: Strathmore Drawing!

I don't know why, but the name seems to mean something.

Anybody wanna fill me in?

I also have a "Learn to Draw for Beginners", because, I mean...

How am I going to do anything without an instructional booklet?

If all goes well, you may actually see MY OWN art on here instead of these loverly linearts people have been so gracious as to draw.

Shocked, aren't you?

Well, don't expect mountains - as in "me to move".

(But don't expect actual mountains either; I don't think the book covers background until the last few chapters)

Harry Potter, what's your deal?
Are you having trouble with the feelings that you feel?
Draco Malfoy, what's your issue?
Do you need a hug or maybe a tissue?
Harry Potter, give us a sign.
Can't commit to Ginny; so, what do you have in mind?

Is it Profesor McGonagal?
Is it Lavender Brown?
No, it's Draco and Harry

Harry Potter, don't be shy;
You got no luck with women, so perhaps you need a guy.
There's nothing wrong with it.
No, there's nothing wrong with it.
You coul move to Massechusetts.
Where it'll be Draco and Harry

S-N-O-G-G-I-N-G.
Draco and Harry
Sitting in a tree
F-A-L-L-I-N-G
In love.

Wow, even if you're against the boy-love (which, I don't think anyone reading my journals is), look up that song!

It is done with a nice slow tune, and it is so great!

It's by the Whomping Willows - "Draco and Harry"

I had to put it up; it's my new favorite.

Although, "And Then I Died" - The Moaning Myrtles, "Someone to Snog" - The Remus Lupins, and "This Book is So Awesome" - Harry and the Potters all come extremely close.

But, it led me to my first topic!

I am one of the lucky people who (bought a $7 ticket) get to go see the Harry and the Potters and Draco and the Malfoys perform at the Clifton Center tomorrow night!

Very excited.

I know; I'm a dork.

I don't care!

It'll be made of great and awesome!

My second point:

I finished the book!

Oh, yes, I did.

I stayed off the internet for an entire week just to avoid spoilers; which may be why I have about 299 deviations and about 93 journals.

Oh, that'll be fun.

But no spoilers! I swear!

I'm not that kind to just spring it up on you...

HERMIONE'S A DUDE! VOLDEMORT IS HARRY'S DAD, ALSO NAMED ROSEBUD! AND ON THE LAST PAGE HARRY WAKES UP IN BED WITH PATRICIA ARQUETTE!

Ah, just kidding.

Thank you, Stephen Colbert.

But I'm so sad!

I refuse to tell you why, but just know, it makes me cry lyke every ten minutes. It's truly, truly sad.

READ THE BOOK!

Ah, yes.

The only thing thats better than being your true dorky self with friends...

Is doing it on TV!

In a Ravenclaw outfit!

Oh, yes - I am a freak.

But, (as if you can't already) guess who went to see the very first showing of Harry Potter last night!

Moi!

We got there at like, 9:30 (the show started at 12:01) thinking that the line wouldn't even be started yet.

Yeah, we were wrong.

It was already around the corner.

But we still had a pretty good spot.

We were also on the news!

In out little outfits, basically saying that HP was a fandom that anyone could get into and how, when you read the books, you are at Hogwarts, doing the things they're doing.

The camera guy thought we were nuts.

But the movie!

I refuse to give anything away because I'm sure not all people were obsessive like us and stayed up til 3 in the morning to see it.

Lemme just say...

They had Fred n' George coming out the wazoo!

As a Weasley twin lover, it was a good time.

Sadly, though, they have such a small part in the sixth (and possibly, seventh, wlthough I can hope differently) that James & Oliver probably won't even show up in the movie.

That saddens me deeply.

Oh!

But Umbridge was cast brilliantly.

And throughout the entire movie, there were small parts that made me cry.

Mostly because of the Weasley-love.

I also completely loved Luna.

She was brilliant!

Such a good actress and she did the character great.

Hermione pissed me off.

Emma Watson is not only a pretty bratty actress, what with the "Oh, this will probably be my last film" and the "I don't want to be typecast as Hermione". Look, girl, you've already done 5 movies! At $4 million per movie, you can last another two!

Plus, they gave her way too many fuckin' lines.

At every turn, Hermione just had to have something to say.

I'll stop now.

I must finish by saying, though, that if you haven't read the books (blasphemy!) that you shall be very confused in this movie.

I feel like, with people complaining nonstop about what was left out of the other movies, he tried to fit as much as he can in this one, but he completely forgot to explain it.

Okay, I'm done.

^__^

FRED & GEORGE & LUNA!

The best actors/actress in that movie.

I have been going crazy on here the past week.

So many good artists!

Truly, if you want to see good art, look at my favorites.

Then go to the artists.

They're amazing!

*eyes actually widened as that was typed*

Also, I'm prob'ly going to start uploading my poems.

If I write anymore, that is.

Inspiration is a fleeting gift.

But, go read the ones I have uploaded!

Criticism is welcome.

Although, I'm pretty proud of them.

That's about it.

Oh, I also fell in "love" (you know, that completely superficial, aesthetic, oh-meh-gawd-he's-beautiful-and-has-a-great-accent love) with a boy at a Rennaissance Faire.

They are really fun, by the way! Dis them and you shall have to answer to me.

But, yes.

My heart belongs to a rennie.

Ah, well.

That's all for now.

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.

I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.

I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who felt the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

I am the woman who died when the EMTs stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual. (yes, this actually happened)

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn't have to always deal with society hating me.

I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most: love.

I am the person ashamed to tell my own friends I'm a lesbian, because they constantly make fun of them.

I am the boy tied to a fence, beaten to a bloody pulp and left to die because two straight men wanted to "teach me a lesson"

I am the gay male student that had to switch to another high school on my senior year, because I told my teachers that I was gay. One said that I was going to hell; the other wanted to cure me.

I am the person that can not act/be myself in fear of what others will think of me.

I am your best friend--the same person you grew up with and told your secrets to--the person you can't talk to anymore, because I told you I'm homosexual.

I am your daughter and best friend, the girl you raised and loved. Now you won't talk to me because I shattered your dreams of ever having children, And you're afraid of telling your friends about me because of the embarrassment.

I am a person with the same fears, hurts, needs and wants as you. I bleed, I breathe, I understand, I live..... With our hearts open and our eyes closed we are all equal, living life the best way we know how, with what we have been given.

Repost this if you believe homophobia is wrong.

(Not by me, just so you know.)

Lived a certain Junior
Buff and tall.
Toying with freshman hearts
Was his game
New young girls
he would claim.
We call him the Junior Dick.
He would lie, cheat
All through the year
They would believe him
For he was sincere.
Little did they know
Behind their back
He was choosing
yet another teen snack.
We call him the Junior Dick.
He made one mistake
With his little plan
Unbeknownst, he screwed
With the wrong clan.
Two of my friends
He did hurt
Bad thing to do,
You little pervert.
I got my revenge
As you will see
It hurt a lot
I guarantee.
No longer a cheat
No longer a tease.
My revenge hit
Right above the knees.
Now we call him the Junior Without.

Two new movies to comment on! Because my life is completely uninteresting. I think it's starting to scare my friends when I pop up with a trivial fact about a random movie they've never heard before. But it's just revenge for their music trivia, which is extremely indie so I have almost no clue about it.

First off, The Quick and the Dead. An "old" Western movie made in 1995. Only really caught my eye because it had Leonardo DiCaprio in it. I know, I'm so shallow. Yes, it had strange camera shots (I blame and yet congratulate the DP for it), a very cliche'd plot, Leonardo being somewhat of a man-whore, and the absurd idea that an almost ancient (at least in looks) Gene Hackman could be the fastest gunslinger. But I surpassed all of that thanks to two reasons. One, I'm a sucker for a Western movie. Two, Leo, despite his suggested promisuity, was damn cute. The cockiness seemed to work for him. To make myself seem not so shallow, it was a pretty good movie. To fulfill the movie-lover in me, I have to quote my favorite line. It's Leo's (who looks 15, but talks & acts like he's 25) almost first words to the main character, played by Sharon Stone.

"I'm so damn fast, I can wake up at the crack of dawn, rob two banks, a train, a stagecoach, shoot the tailfeathers off a duck's ass at 300 feet, and be back in bed before you wake up next to me."

I cracked up. Maybe it's just me. I should also mention Sharon Stone looks like she's twice his age, they end up sleeping together (just once), & sources tell me that Sharon Stone, who co-produced, wanted DiCaprio casted so much that she offered to pay his salary herself. Ans, yes, I noticed that in the entire two paragraphs I used on this movie, I didn't tell you what the plot was, but there is an easy remedy. It's called...... da da da da!....... Wikipedia! Learn it, live it, love it.

Second thing, I finally saw Clockwork Orange! The brilliance of Stanley Kubrick and Anthony Burgess finally reached my eyes, thanks to a movie store and Sarah. I had read the book & liked it, already planning on dressing like Alex for halloween. Oh, the fun I will have confusing my friends with nadsat! I loved the movie. Kubrick was smart, using the music to manipulate our emotions. It worked a couple times on us, until we caught on. Afterwards, lets just say the neighbors were sick of hearing "I'm Singin' in the Rain".

In other news, I'm pissed at the thought of going back to school. The environment's too hostile for my taste. Maybe I'll write about that next time. For now, I'm done babbling.

Naopte buna si bufta!

But, oh muh gods! That is not at all what I wanted to write about!

The greatest thing in the world has happened. It shuns the wheel, fire...... even the invention of sliced bread! I have been walking around for over half a year, silently wishing for it to happen. Ever since I got the life-changing book, that Sarah grudgingly gave me for my b-day since she couldn't get another gift, called.......

Twilight!

But that is only half of what I am writing about, considering it would be extremely late since I read that book a while ago. The ultimate reason of this journal is........

TWILIGHT MIGHT BE MADE INTO A MOVIE!!!

True, only 20% of all scripts that are suggested actually make the cut, but the studios re-borrowed the rights, & have until April 2008 to decide!

I am so freakin' happy right now, I can't stop shaking! Julia is getting worried because I am even starting to hyperventilate! It is so awesome! I WILL NEVER COME DOWN FROM THIS HIGH THAT TWILIGHT HAS PUT ME ON!!!

On the Stephanie Meyers website, it has a list of who she thinks should play the characters. It is sad her opinion doesn't matter, because she wants Cillian Muprhy to play James, & we all know how I feel about him. (If you don't know, I loooove him....)

But I am desperately trying to find the e-mail address so I can tell them my wonderful idea for Edward! Her idea is pretty good, someone called Henry Cavill.... (never heard of him, but he looks Edward-ish), but I swear, mine would work so well.

Alright, my choice for Edward is..... Matt Czuchry!

Freaky name, right? Doesn't sound familiar at all..... But we all (or most of us at least) know him on Gilmore Girls as Rory's adorable, fun, mischeivous, looks-like-it's-gonna-last boyfriend, Logan Huntzberger!

Before anyone starts shooting it down, just think of him with auburn (which I'm told is brown...... I swore it was just a dirty blonde....) hair, with a crooked smile that Edward is famous for. I think it is perfect! If anyone agrees, please tell me so I don't think I'm completely crazy anymore.

I must stop, because I am still on my rigorous search for an e-mail. Have a good life. CELEBRATE! (I know I am)

"So, what you're saying is, I'm your brand of heroine?"
"Yes, you are exactly my brand of heroine."

"You'r probably wondering why my boyfriend is glowing, Grandma. Don't worry, he does that all the time."

It may be the fact I haven't talked for more than three seconds to a sane person who doesn't annoy me for quite some time, or that the guy I thought I had a chance with now seems to have disappeard (although, truthfully, that may just be my pessimistic imagination trying to ruin my life yet again), but I am feeling very emo right now. So emo that I spaced out all during school (which led to some very strange conversations, I am told) and tried to discover why my "friends" acted the way they do.

Madison is Madison because she is very desperate for companionship. On the outside, she is very outgoing, fun; doesn't seem to have a care. But, after knowing her for half a school year, I think she craves attention...... a little too much, if you ask me. Sure, everyone craves attention (anyone who tells you opposite is lying their ass off), but she's willing to go to an extreme to get it. Many, many, many times she has persisted in telling me all about her social life. First, she's happy with her boyfriend. Then, she breaks up with her boyfriend & goes out with another guy (who lavished her! I think he truly loved her). Then, not a week later, I hear "Oh, I miss *insert old boyfriend's name here*!" She breaks up with the guy (much to his dismay), & goes back out with her old boyfriend. A week later, "Oh, *insert boyfriend's name here* is getting so annoying!"

Imagine that happening over and over and over and over. It even got to the point where she said he proposed to her & she came in with a ring. She is a freshman & he a junior, by the way. Then, she tells me that she made out with not one, not two, not three, but four guys! While still going out with someone completely different. One of the guys was even her boyfriend's best friend! Her excuse? "Well, I'm only 15. I shouldn't be tied down to anyone." That pissed me off!

Okay, I'm ranting. I didn't mean to start that. But, back to my point, I think Madison only made-out with those guys, & only goes out with her current boyfriend, because she doesn't want them to turn on her (which, they might've, considering the guys she knows). I'm not sure she's desperate for companionship (not in that way, anyway), but I think she truly doesn't know what she would do if she didn't have a hundred friends around her. So, she does almost everything to appease everyone. That's fine, to a certain extent. But when you've started to lose your dignity, plus the respect of your friends, it is out of control.

Alright, enough ragging on Madi. Now for Jessica. She's one thats hard to explain. On one hand, she is extremely scared to be vulnerable and will hide any normal emotion she might show with laughter, as if it was a joke that she would feel anything. I can understand that, but it gets to a point where it is not healthy. She surrounds herself with guys, refusing to get mad at them even when they deserve it. She favors males over females everytime. Many a time she has left us just to talk to a guy that doesn't like any of us. She is athletic. When the guys wouldn't let her play, she would be pissed off & come complaining to us. Five seconds later, the game is over, she runs to talk to them (cheerily, I might add). She is quick to forgive certain people. Too quick, in my mind. I think she prioritizes people, & we seem to come second to last. All guys come before us, as do the girls that seem to be more (for lack of a better word) popular. *cough* Preps *cough*

She's extremely eager to make friends with them, no matter how nasty they are to her, but she isn't that eager with other people. Now that I look at her, she strikes me as a conniving lawyer type, who'll do anything & step on anyone to get to the top. She isn't that harsh, but I could see it happening.

Finally we get to the fun part........ Me.

Yes, it's true. I took a look at myself during this strange, over-conscious period I had. Simply, I do not like where my life is right now.

Although, I may never like it because I base most of my wants out of life from movies and books and other fictional things. No matter how many times I try to tell myself, I can never accept that it will never happen to me. Instead of facing the truth, I'd rather hide and lay in bed all day, dreaming of what "could" happen. When I am forced to leave my fantasy world, I turn into the person I am, an obsessive compulsive little girl who's afraid to go out into the world. I hate talking about college because, inside, I hope to never get that far. I don't want that responsibilty. It scares me.

Also, as cliche'd as it sounds, I am scared to let people close. Romance is my favorite movie/book topic, and I dream about it, but I am so afraid to let anyone that close to me because I'm afraid to screw it up, which I know will happen than... ]]> ~PoorLenore http://PoorLenore.deviantart.com/journal/11120653/ http://PoorLenore.deviantart.com/journal/11120653/ Tue, 19 Dec 2006 19:55:29 PST

Damn Moby Dick for firing her.

First, she tried to hook up Kelly with Justin, a senior. Sadly, that went horribly wrong when she made out with him. Kinda ruined the chance, not to mention made Kelly mad as hell. She got over it eventually, and found a guy. Justin is still dateless.

Next on her list was Jess, who she hooked up with Steven (a.k.a. Poofy-Haired Guy!) He's in their biology class, and was crushing on Madison at first. But, then Madison convinced him to ask out Jessica. He did, and they have been living happily ever after........ or they would be if not for PHG's (Poofy-Haired Guy) bipolar-ness. One day, he's happy & playing around with Jess like a normal boyfriend. The next he's pissed off and yells at her to leave. Every day is a surprise, to say the least.

But, back to the cheesy game show's new host. Madi said it was her plan all along (to which I responded "You are a clever & conniving villain, and I shall never get on your bad side."), and that I was next. I told her I would fall on my knees & worship her as cupid if she could pull it off.

CUPID IS DEAD!

I ran him over, many times, and stuffed him down the sewer to be eaten by mutant alligators! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Ahem.....

The guy she tried to set me up with was called She-man. Well, he has an actual name, but there is debate on what it is. Madison says it's Michael, while my friend Valentine (who is in one of his classes) says it's Matt. So, maybe I'll never know. Oh, well.

I learned they called him She-man because he was bi, as in sexual. Some may find that a problem. I don't. I mean, as long as he's monogamous, who cares?

But, yeah. Madi's efforts of "courtship" (which consisted of pushing She-man right in front of me and yelling "TALK!" then running away. Then, when I tried to go up and ask what the hell was going on, pushing me back and yelling "TALK TO HIM MORE!") didn't work. Surprise, much?

It went on for about another month, then the news came. She-man had a boyfriend. It went something like this.

Madison: "Maddy, I just learned. She-man has a boyfriend. Sorry. But as soon as he's done with him, he's up for grabs!"
Me: "Oh, bad picture....."

^__^

Great, right? So, yes, She-man and I are pretty good friends, and I am still single, but Madison insists she is not done. I say Cupid's tombstone is already in the ground. But, if it gives her something to do, why should I stop her?

I just pray she tries to get me a guy of the human variety. Beastiality is way too kinky for me.

But, seriously, the weirdest thing happened at lunch the other day. Everything's going fine. We're chasing Madison around, like always. We're pissing off Kelly (and a lot of other people.) Normal day, right? But, something happens. I don't know if my brain shut down, or I time stopped, or I actually did get abducted, because, the next thing I now, I blink and EVERYONE has a date to homecoming!

I swear I'm not being mean, or spiteful, or anything like that. Frankly, I find it funny. Everything seems normal, then BOOM! Madison has a new boyfriend and is going with him, Kelly is going with a senior named Justin, and Jessica is going with a guy named Andrew.

I've told a couple people this, and their response was in the realm of "Aaaw! Maddy! Do you feel left out?"

Not really. I wasn't planning on going anyway. I ahve my dad's birthday dinner that night, and, hopefully, ~Mayamori will come through with that Anti-Homecoming party. So, I'm happy as a clam.

P.S.- HA! PLus, now ~Mayamori owes me $10! Woohoo!

If you recognize the title, you are my new best friend!

The movie is called Heathers, and it is awesome! If you haven't seen it, I shall explain it to you. (Warning: I am about to start ranting/explaining. )

It starts with this extremely powerful, 4-girl clique in Westerburg High. Three of the girls are all named Heather (Heather Chandler, Heather McNamara, & Heather Duke), but the 4th is Veronica Sawyer. She hates what she has become since she joined the clique. Then, one random day in the cafeteria, after Veronica helps the Heathers write a fake love note to an overweight girl (named Martha Dunnstock, nicknamed Dumptruck), she meets J.D. (Played by Christian Slater! Agh! He's so cute in this movie!)

I am taking a big step in my habit-breaking. I am going to stop telling you every detail! Gasp! Long story short, J.D. & Veronica start offing all of Veronica's enemies/friends. See it for yourself to find out everything! It's a great movie!

If you have seen it, is it wrong of me to wish that they did roast marshmallows in the end?

But, in other-yet-related news, I can do almost every line from it!

"Fuck me gently with a chainsaw."

"This may seem like a really stupid question."
"There are no stupid questions."
"You inherit 5 million dollars the same day aliens land and say they're gonna blow up the world in two days. What do you do with the money?"
"That's the stupidest question I've ever heard."

"Hey, Ram, doesn't this cafeteria have a "No Fags Allowed" rule?"
"Oh, yeah. But they seem to have an open-door policy for assholes, thought, don't they?"

"The extreme always makes an impression."

"You were nothing before you met me. You were playing Barbies with Betty Finn. You were a bluebird. You were a brownie. You were a girl scout cookie. I got you into a Remington party, and what's my thanks? It's all over the carpet! I got paid in puke!"
"Lick it up, baby. Lick it up."

"Betty Finn was a true friend, and I sold her out for a bunch of Swatch Dogs and Diet Cokeheads. Offing Heather would be like offing the wicked witch of the west. Wait, east. West! God, I sound like a fucking psycho."

"What about milk and orange juice? What's the upchuck factor on that?"
"I'm a no rust build-up man myself."

"I just killed my best friend."
"And your worst enemey."
"Same difference."

"Another fucking Heather. I'm sorry. I've, uh, been feeling a little superior lately. Our love is God. Let's go get a slushee."

"Come one. This is Ohio! If you don't have a Brewski in your hand, you might as well be wearin a dress."

"I love my dead gay son!"
"Wonder how he'd react if his son had a limp wrist with a pulse."

"Dear Diary, my teen angst bullshit has a body count."

"Suicide gave Heather depth, Kurt a soul, Ram a brain. I don't know what it's given me, but I have no control over myself when I'm with J.D. Are we going to prom or to hell?"

"What're you talking about, huh? Today was great! Chaos is great. Chaos is what killed the dinosaurs, darling."

"Want to go out tonight? Catch a movie? Maybe some, uh, miniature golf?"
"Actually, I was thinking of slitting Heather Duke's wrists open and making it look like a suicide."
"Now you're talking. I could be up for that. I've already started underlining meaningful passages in her copy of Moy Dick, if you know what I mean."

"I like it. It's got that "What a cruel world, so let's toss ourselves into the abyss" type ambience."

"Th-that knife is filthy!"
"What do you think I'm gonna do with it, take out her tonsils?!"

"Society nods its head at any horror the American teenager can think to bring upon itself!"

"When teenagers complain they wanted to be treated like human beings, it's usually because they are being treated like human beings."

"Dear Diary, no one can stop J.D.- not the F.B.I, the C.I.A., or the P.T.A."

"Let's see how the son of a bicth reacts to a suicide he didn't perform himself."
