                <description><![CDATA[ But just to gain some perspective, I've taken a crapload of pictures of my stuff, mostly around my dorm room, to put up here. Just because I like to have pictures of stuff. It gives an image of where I am and how I live most days. You can tell a lot about someone based on what their living arrangements look like. <br /><br />So, be prepared for a lot of pictures. Just saying. And don't expect any of them to contain, oh I dunno...ME. I'm horrid with self-portraiture, and I'm not looking good at the moment (jeans, t-shirt, and jacket that's way too big).<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Is anyone else going to A-Kon in Dallas this year? If so, how will you be getting there, and do you plan on getting a room at the Sheraton (or something nearby XD)? I only ask because I'm interested to know how different people are getting there. I've planned on getting a hotel room there myself, but I'm gonna be saving up money forEVER to get there. That, and the costume I'm ordering (EGA thing. really involved). <br /><br />This is kind of just me being bored XD<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Pick 3 characters, and have them answer the following questions accordingly. (They may be original characters or not):<br />1. Katrine<br />2. Sang<br />3. Syrena *scrambled the order just because, XD*<br /><br /><br /><br />1. Number one, what was your childhood like?<br /><br />Katrine: Oh, it was fantastic. It got a little weird at some points, living with my aunts and uncles and god only knows how I'm related to anyone else but Syrena...especially when Weiss would ask me about girl stuff like hair and makeup...but it was fun! <br /><br /><br /><br />2. Character number three, if you could go back in time and change one thing, what would it be?<br /><br />Syrena: uhm...I can't think of anything, actually. I learn from my mistakes, and I cherish the memories of the good things that happened. If you change something that's bad, you won't learn from it, and then you'll just screw it up all over again. So...no.<br /><br /><br /><br />3. Number two, would you rather be immortal and eternally miserable, or live a mortal, blissfully peaceful life?<br /><br />Sang: If immortality made me any more miserable than I am now, I would FIND a way to die. So, death would be the better option.<br /><br /><br /><br />4. Say, character number three, how much do you weigh?<br /><br />Syrena: less than Wolfgang and more than Weiss. And I think just a little more than Star...<br /><br /><br /><br />5. Have you ever loved and lost, number one? I'll bet it was your fault, wasn't it? Tsk tsk...<br /><br />Katrine: *knocks interviewer on the head* It most certainly WASN'T my fault, because I've never lost someone, not in the way you're talking about, anyway. There just aren't many people out there who really catch my eye, is all. When I was younger, boys would come up to me (or Syrena, back when we both had the same hair color) and tell me they liked me, but I would just have to apologize and say I didn't feel the same, because I DIDN'T. I got a reputation as a real heartbreaker at one point, but it's just because I haven't found the right person yet. I follow my father's concept of true love to the letter. I  mean, look where it got him!<br /><br /><br /><br />6. Oh, no character two! You've just strolled into a department store to admire the lovely washing machines when a guy with a nylon stocking over his head runs in and holds the whole store at gunpoint! How will you save the day? (If you are a coward and do not wish to save the day, what do you do upon Stocking Head's arrival?)<br /><br />Sang: I find a way around sock-face and leave the store. If sock-face tries to stop me from leaving...depending on who's in charge at the time, there are several ways I would incapacitate him, a few of which will end in his death. So, either way, not a good outlook for sock-face. <br /><br /><br />7. Number Three, tell your best "Yo Momma" joke.<br /><br />Syrena: uh...I don't get those...what's so funny about insulting someone's mom? My mom's just fine (if a little nuts), and most of the people's moms that I know are just as nice. I just don't see the point.<br /><br /><br /><br />8. Who is the one person you cannot live without, character number one? Why? (Please don't say Oprah, please don't say Oprah...)<br /><br />Katrine: Mein lieber Schwester, Sy-lu! *squeez* <br /><br />(btw, that's "my dear sister")<br /><br /><br />9. Hey, number two, tell me one of your deepest, darkest secrets. To make you feel better, I'll tell one of mine: I don't have any deep, dark secrets.<br /><br />Sang: *snort* okay. I don't have any deep, dark secrets, either. The other five keep them for me, XD.<br /><br /><br /><br />10. All characters: What kind of music do you listen to? Do you play any instruments? If so, which ones? (Yes...the kazoo counts. Your nose, however, does not.)<br /><br />Katrine: I listen to Tokio Hotel, Paramore, Cinema Bizarre, and there's this one song by Versailles called Zombie that I really like. Other than that, it's really more rockish music that I like, Three Days Grace, Linkin Park, and the like. I play piano, guitar, and bass when I feel like it.<br /><br />Sang: Hoshiko's got a thing for Japanese music, but Sable and Doll really like the Dresden Dolls. The lounge-style piano and drums combo really works. Kyung and I like certain types of jazz. Not the stupid, high-brow kind, but the you-know-somebody-committed-murder-to-this-song kind of jazz. I can sing pretty well. Sable likes to sing low, and Hoshiko likes to sing high, so my range keeps in pretty good shape. <br /><br />Syrena: I listen to a lot of Japanese stuff, Versailles, Moi Dix Mois, Gackt, but I also listen to Tokio Hotel and Cinema Bizarre. After that, it's orchestral stuff, like Within Temptation and Trans-Siberian orchestra. I sing a LOT (I get it from my parents, XD), and I know one song on guitar (which, oddly enough, is Zombie). I also know two songs on violin, and one on drums (but I think that's cuz I'm almost the only one Wolfgang lets touch his drums... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Pick 10 characters and answer the questions below. You can pick any characters you like, both boys and girls!!<br /><br />1. Shizuka<br />2. Alex<br />3. Severine (she's a Vampire)<br />4. Syrena (Child)<br />5. Tora<br />6. Syrena (X-Men no one else has heard of)<br />7. Sang (and all her little friends)<br />8. Katrine (Child)<br />9. Wolfgang (Running out of ideas, XD)<br />10. Bill (Just because I can)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />What would you do if...<br /><br />1 woke you up in the middle of the night? -<br />Ask her what's wrong and what I can do to help and what's she doing out of the x-mansion?<br /><br />Number 2 asked you to go out with him? <br />in a fscking heartbeat!<br /><br />Number 3 walked into the bathroom while you're showering?<br />wait for her to leave. she'd completely be like, "Oh, sorry" and leave...<br /><br />4 announced she's going to marry 9 tomorrow? -Oh, lord...well, if she was still little, I'd think it was cute. If she was older, I'd be like, YAY! (completely didn't plan this, BTW)<br /><br />5 cooked you dinner? -<br />Be a little interested...she can't really cook. It would be like Tom ordering pizza, XD<br /><br />6 was lying next to you on the beach, sleeping? -<br />I'd ask her if she needed help...she doesn't stay on the beach for very long unless it's night.<br /><br />7 suddenly confessed to be part of your family? -<br />Uh...it wouldn't surprise me. I've got some freaky shit running around in my bloodline.<br /><br />8 got into the hospital somehow? -<br />Ooh, that's a scary thought. I'd be worried as hell...for us all.<br /><br />9 made fun of your friends? -<br />He'd be joking, of course, and I'd tease him right back.<br /><br />10 ignored you all the time? -<br />Uh...I'd cry. A lot. For like weeks. (unless we're talking real life. then it's just my life...)<br /><br />What would they do under the following circumstances?<br /><br />Two serial killers are hunting you down. What will 1 do?<br />Help me hide and then go after them. She'd be creative with it, too.<br /><br />You're on a vacation with number 2 and manage to break your leg. What does 2 do? -<br />He'd start freaking out and call an ambulance and start speaking German all over the place...(he's German)...it would actually be really cute.<br /><br />It's your birthday. What will 3 give you? -<br />She'd turn me into a vampire. Yay. XD<br /><br />You're stuck in a house that's on fire. What does 4 do? -<br />She'd get the nearest extinguisher, grab Katrine, and plow a way through to an exit. And she'd do all this before I could think, XD<br /><br />You're about to do something that'll make you feel extremely embarassed. What will 5 do? -<br />Find some creative way to make a distraction and get me out of there.<br /><br />You're about to marry number 10. What's 6's reaction? -<br />She wouldn't care (again, didn't plan this one at ALL). <br /><br />You got dumped by someone. How will 7 cheer you up? -<br />uh...I don't even wanna think about that one...we'd probably run around killing people...XD<br /><br />You're angry about it afterwards, how does 8 calm you down? -<br />She starts playing some game with me and I get all caught up in it...XD complete me, easily distracted...<br /><br />You compete in some tournament. How does 9 support you? -<br />By cheering me on with the girls, very loudly and very dramatically.<br /><br />You can't stop laughing. What will 10 do? -<br />Laugh with me. XD<br /><br />Relationship part<br /><br />Number 1 is all you've ever dreamed of. Why? -<br />Uh...She's awesome?<br /><br />2 tells you about his deeply hidden love for number 9. Your reaction? -<br />WTF GERMAN BOY LOVE, XD<br /><br />You're dating number 3 and introduce him to your parents. Will they get along? -<br />Um.... given that three is a girl and a VAMPIRE, I doubt it o-o (holy crap, me too!)<br /><br />Number 4 loves number 9 as well. What does that mean? -<br />LOL, Syrena's totes gonna win. <br /><br />Will number 5 and 6 ever kiss? -<br />no<br /><br />6 appears to be a player, they break many hearts. What do you do? -<br />sigh and shake my head. I'm not gonna argue with her, XD<br /><br />You had a haircut and 7 can't stop looking at you. What goes on in your mind? -<br />"I'mgonnadieI'mgonnadieI'mgonnadie..."<br /><br />Number 8 thinks they'll never get a girl/boyfriend. What will you tell her? -<br />"It's alright, dearie. There's someone out there for everyone. All you need to do is look for them." *squeeze*<br /><br />Number 9 is too shy to face you and confesses you his or her love by sending an e-mail. Now what? -<br />no.<br /><br />You spot 10 kissing number 1. How do you react? -<br />You had BETTER be smashed. AND WTF WITH THE ALTERNATE UNIVERSE!<br /><br />Friendship part<br /><br />Could 1 and 6 be soulmates? -<br />Yeah, maybe...<br /><br />Would number 2 trust number 5? -<br />Of course. <br /><br />Number 3 wants to go shopping, will 7 come along? -<br />I hope not. he... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Same list from here: <a href="http://syrenav.deviantart.com/journal/18546253/">[link]</a><br /><br /><br />01) Who would make a better college professor, 6 or 11 ?<br />already did this<br /><br />02) Do you think 2 is hot? How hot?<br />already did<br /><br />03) 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?<br />already did<br /><br />04) What is or would be 9's favorite book?<br />The Bible<br /><br />05) Would it make more sense for 2 to swear loyalty to 6, or the other way around?<br />Val would swear loyalty to Valanthe... o-o HEY WOW o-o Their names are alot alike, man!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> That's funneh.<br /><br />06) For some reason, 5 is looking for a roommate. Should he/she share a studio apartment with 9 or with 10?<br />Count D would probably go with Jesus. Less likely he'll get his apartment blown up<br /><br />07) 2, 7 and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?<br />Nightcrawler, Lyra and Tora...um...Lyra and Tora would probably end up discussing Myrrors vs. Daemons. Kurt would be wondering why he doesn't have either, and Tora would probably develop a liking for Kurt by the end of the night. Where they go would be Kurt's choice, since neither of the other two know much about food.<br /><br />08) 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?<br />Shizuka v. Mystique. Believe it or not, this might actually happen. One day Shizuka gets bored and decides to have a friendly match. She also sells tickets beforehand to all of her friends. They end up blowing things up, and in the end Shizuka vaporizes them both to God knows where. They both emerge declaring that the other won, but no one can get either of them to say just what happened.<br /><br />09) If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would s/he get it back?<br />Jasper? He'd just go in and take it. Very straightforward. But, I can't imagine what Marionette would TAKE.<br /><br />10) Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.<br />Lyra and Tora AGAIN. I'd have to call it "Culture Clash", since they're both trying to take down a dogmatic power.<br /><br />11) What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?<br />I simply wouldn't. That story does NOT need to be written.<br /><br />12) If 7 visited you for the weekend, what would you do?<br />I'd talk to her, go do something mischievous, and then ask her about Pantalaimon and how I could see my daemon.<br /><br />13) If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?<br />Shizuka: TAKE ME WITH YOU!<br /><br />14) Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11?<br />Danny? No.<br /><br />15) If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5 which would it be?<br />Nightcrawler would probably awaken his inner pirate and go with Capt. Sparrow. <br /><br />16) What might 10 shout while charging into battle?<br />"DIE HUMAN!"<br /><br />17) If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?<br />no clue.<br /><br />18) 1, 6 and 12 are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant. What's going on?<br />Marionette, Luna and Tora...the restaraunt is immediately destroyed because that much weird cannot be contained in a single building.<br /><br />19) What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 12?<br />Nightcrawler for Tora...um...something about not being as narrow-minded as his religion would be. <br /><br />20) What would 5 most likely be arrested for?<br />already did this<br /><br />21) What is 6's secret?<br />It's Luna Lovegood. It could be ANYTHING.<br /><br />22) If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first?<br />I'm going with Jesus.<br /><br />23) If you had to walk home through a bad neighbourhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 or 8?<br />Already did this<br /><br />24.) If 4 gave 10 a birthday present, what would s/he be likely to give him/her?<br />Rum.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Pick 3 characters, and have them answer the following questions accordingly. (They may be original characters or not):<br />1. Syrena<br />2. Shizuka<br />3. Tora<br /><br />1. Number one, what was your childhood like?<br /><br />Syrena: Actually, my childhood was great. My twin sister and I were kept safe and secure, and both of our parents were really supportive of us...not common where we lived.<br /><br /><br /><br />2. Character number three, if you could go back in time and change one thing, what would it be?<br /><br />Tora: At this point, I'm afraid to mess with time...right now, I've got a real "don't fuck with fate" thing going...I guess I'd go back and be more open with Danny<br /><br /><br />3. Number two, would you rather be immortal and eternally miserable, or live a mortal, blissfully peaceful life?<br /><br />Shizuka: Immortality is overrated. Why live forever if your life is going to suck? I'll do the best I can with the life I have.<br /><br /><br />4. Say, character number three, how much do you weigh?<br /><br />Tora: Not a clue. I'm kind of tall, though, so you really can't judge. I've been on a Michaelist diet my whole life, and that essentially rules out gluttony, so I'm not very copious...but I'm not exactly skinny. Too much muscle.<br /><br /><br />5. Have you ever loved and lost, number one? I'll bet it was your fault, wasn't it? Tsk tsk...<br /><br />Syrena: I thought I loved, and then he lost me. The end.<br /><br /><br />6. Oh, no character two! You've just strolled into a department store to admire the lovely washing machines when a guy with a nylon stocking over his head runs in and holds the whole store at gunpoint! How will you save the day? (If you are a coward and do not wish to save the day, what do you do upon Stocking Head's arrival?)<br /><br />Shizuka: I'd vaporize the nylon stocking (WTF is the point of that thing anyway) and send it down his windpipe. Then I'd re-solidify it and be on with my day.<br /><br /><br />7. Number Three, tell your best "Yo Momma" joke.<br /><br />Tora: Don't know what the hell you're talking about...<br /><br />Shizuka: *Explains*<br /><br />Tora: Oh. That's not funny...oh, well. Yo Momma's so big, fat, clumsy and stupid, she walked into K-Mart, tripped over Wal-Mart and landed on Target.<br /><br /><br />8. Who is the one person you cannot live without, character number one? Why? (Please don't say Oprah, please don't say Oprah...)<br /><br />Syrena: My twin sister, Katrine. I don't know what I'd do without her.<br /><br />9. Hey, number two, tell me one of your deepest, darkest secrets. To make you feel better, I'll tell one of mine: I don't have any deep, dark secrets.<br /><br />Shizuka: Well, this'll come up in an "I've Never" game later...I once snuck into the sanctuary of a church at three in the morning to have a pretty heavy make-out session with my then-girlfriend. We were never caught.<br /><br />10. All characters: What kind of music do you listen to? Do you play any instruments? If so, which ones? (Yes...the kazoo counts. Your nose, however, does not.)<br /><br />Syrena: I like classical and Japanese music. Rock is okay. I can play the harp.<br /><br />Shizuka: Visual Kei, J-Rock, etc. Can play the violin and the koto.<br /><br />Tora: This stuff from Kilronie called K-Gotica. Can't play anything.<br /><br /><br />11. What is the most annoying thing in the world, character one?<br /><br />Syrena: Magneto and Xavier. If they would just get over themselves every now and then, my life would be so much easier.<br /><br /><br />12. Finish the statement, number three: Art is...<br /><br />Tora: ...too often looked down upon by those who do not understand it.<br /><br /><br />12. Finish the statement, number two: People are...<br /><br />Shizuka: ...really funny to watch when they get offended.<br /><br /><br />13. Finish the statement, number one: Imagination...<br /><br />Syrena: ...is the source of all creation.<br /><br /><br />14. All characters: Out of the three of you, who is the most outgoing? Reserved? Humorous? Stinky?<br /><br />Shizuka: I'd have to say Tora's the most outgoing.<br /><br />Tora: I am not. I just travel a LOT. Syrena only smells bad when she comes out of the sea after a LONG stay. Seaweed=not so much.<br /><br />Syrena: Shizuka's definitely got the most sarcasm in her. I'd have to call Tora the most reserved. When she does talk, it's usually a lie to protect herself.<br /><br /><br />15. Quick, Number three! Write a poem!<br /><br />Tora: Haikus are easy. But sometimes they don't make sense. Refrigerator.<br /><br /><br />16. What is your favorite word, number one?<br /><br />Syrena: um...probably aquarius. Aquarians themselves, though... not so much<br /><br /><br />17. Character number three, what is one weird thing that you can do? (i.e. wiggle your ears, fold your tongue, play 'amazing grace' with your armpit...)<br /><br />Tora: I'd need Vespasien, and besides which, you don't want to know.<br /><br... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Pick 12 characters randomly before reading the rest. (This is supposed to be tv/game characters. But my characters are more fun to harrass.)<br /><br />1. Marionette (this one is so old)<br />2. Nightcrawler<br />3. Shizuka<br />4. Capt. Jack Sparrow<br />5. Count D (Pet Shop of Horrors)<br />6. Luna Lovegood<br />7. Lyra Belacqua and Pantalaimon (His Dark Materials, he's her Daemon)<br />8. Jasper Cullen<br />9. Jesus<br />10. Mystique<br />11. Daniel Ocean<br />12. Tora Roux and Vespasien (my book, he's her Myrror)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Did you pick? No cheating or jeez it will ruin the fun.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Do you think 4 is hot? How hot?<br /><br />(Capt. Jack Sparrow)<br />Yeah, kind of...he's a little unclean for my tease though<br /><br />What would happen if 12 got 8 pregnant?<br /><br />(Jasper Cullen and Tora Roux)<br />First of all, you've got your genders wrong. Secondly, Mpreg itself is hard enough without one party being a VAMPIRE. If they somehow had a kid...the universe would probably break.<br /><br /><br /><br />Would 2 and 6 make a good couple?<br /><br />(Nightcrawler and Luna Lovegood)<br />If it wouldn't violate every canon law I can imagine...maybe. He's patient to the extreme and might find her charming, and I imagine he's probably strange-looking enough for her to like.<br /><br /><br />5/9 or 5/10? Why?<br /><br />(Jesus and Count D versus Mystique and Count D)<br />Count D would probably end up killing Jesus...and I guess Mystique might like Count D's taste for the macabre and immortality thing...5/9<br /><br />(Can't believe I put so much thought into that)<br /><br />What would happen if 7 walked in on 2 and 12 having sex?<br /><br />(Lyra walking in on Nightcrawler and Tora)...well, at least it's physically possible. Given that Lyra's something like twelve, she'd probably get rather shocked...or she might just get curious, given that it's Nightcrawler (and then Pan would ask Vespasien how it felt to him, more than likely).<br /><br /><br /><br />Make up a summary for a 3/10 fic.<br /><br />Shizuka/Mystique<br /><br />Oh, shit. Alright, here goes:<br /><br />The summer internship takes a rather unexpected twist before Kurt shows up...Mystique doesn't know about them, Shizuka doesn't know she's his mother, and Kurt doesn't know where the hell either of them are. Kurt never finds out, and the girls never speak of it again...but they'll never be able to forget.<br /><br />Wow...not sure what to do about that one...DAMN LIST!<br /><br /><br /><br />Is there any such thing as 1/8 fluff?<br /><br />(Marionette/Jasper)<br />Maybe...Marionette's good at being loving...I dunno about Jasper, though...<br /><br />Suggest a title for a 7/12 hurt/comfort fic.<br /><br />(Lyra/Tora...never mind that it's lolicon...ick)<br /><br />Alright, alright: My Other Half. That's all I got.<br /><br />What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 to deflower 1?<br />(Jack Sparrow on Marionette)<br /><br />Rum.<br /><br /><br />Does anyone on your friends list read 7 slash?<br /><br />Lyra...um...given that I think I'm the only one who's read those books recently...and it's lolicon...no<br /><br />Does anyone on your friends list read 3 het?<br /><br />Shizuka. They're about to.<br /><br /><br />Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11?<br /><br />Daniel Ocean. Not that I know of. He's not too easy to draw.<br /><br /><br />Would anyone on your friends list write 2/4/5?<br /><br />Nightcrawler/Capt. Jack Sparrow/Count D<br /><br />Only under a severe dose of acid.<br /><br /><br />What might 10 scream out at a moment of great passion?<br /><br />(Mystique)<br /><br />Um...I'll take passion to mean RAGE, so..."DIE HUMAN!"<br /><br /><br />If you write a songfic about 8, which song would you choose?<br /><br />JASPER. Fuck, I don't know...something rockish.<br /><br /><br />If you wrote a 1/6/12 fic, what would the warnings be?<br /><br />(Marionette/Luna Lovegood/Tora Roux)<br /><br />WARNING: The Internets have broken in half!<br /><br /><br />What might a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?<br /><br />NO. NO. NO. Don't even fucking go there. Even if it were on accident, Nightcrawler doesn't usually DO pick-up lines. <br /><br />What is 6's super-secret kink?<br /><br />With Luna Lovegood...it could be anything O-O<br /><br /><br /><br />Would 11 shag 9? Drunk or sober?<br /><br />Daniel Ocean and Jesus...no...<br /><br /><br /><br />If 3 and 7 get together who tops?<br /><br />Shizuka and Lyra...alright, let's up Lyra's age a bit to make this not so weird...Lyra. Shizuka's got a thing where it's guys under, girls over. <br /><br /><br />"1 and 9 are in a happy relationship until 9 suddenly runs off with 4. 1, broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with 11 and a brief, unhappy affair with 12, then follows the wise advice of 5 and finds... ]]></description>

I have never been this openly excited about anything in my LIFE!<br /><br />This is so awesome. I've got my costume all made and everything. It was originally designed as a visual kei/lolita kind of thing made out of some clothes I already have, and in the end it turned out quite gothic. I like it.<br /><br />I've run out of things to say here because my brain won't slow down, but I'll get back to this later...probably after this weekend.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yeah, so I've been out for a long time, haven't I? Well, there's one word that can sum up why:<br /><br />COLLEGE.<br /><br />Yeah, it's about time I let my age show a little bit. Guess what, Internet? I'm a senior in high school, and I'm six weeks from OUT. <br /><br />Oh, am I happy about that. It's driving me MAD that I'm still stuck at home. My hands are itching for a lighter, but I don't feel like a cigarette, and if I have to go to church one more time and make nice with all the rich people who have been praying for me since before I was born, I'm going to kill something. I know they're probably going to shower me with graduation gifts, but they've got a little too much southern honey in their voices for me to stand. <br /><br />Oh, and the new icon? Yeah, that's actually my eye. I think I'll put up some photography I've tweaked around.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I handed out invitations to my little celebration (I'm having an X-Men movie marathon tonight), and almost half of the people I gave invitations to were stunned that I wasn't at least two years older already than the age I am as of today. (NOT SAYING NOTHING, SO DON'T!)<br /><br />So, I'm waiting on Becca to get me so we can go see The Golden Compass. I gave and took the Daemon quiz on the movie website. Mine's a black cat named Rathsmus. I like him. <br /><br />Not much else to be said. I told everyone who asked me what I wanted to get me calligraphy pens. My nib's about to wear out. And, I need a new itsy notebook to carry in my purse. It's running out of paper. I got the thing in June, didn't use it for three months, and it's already running out of paper. <br /><br />I write too much. I love that.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Again, <b>OMGSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOIL ERS!!!!!<br />
</b><br />
One more time, <b>SPOILERS, PEOPLE! FROM EVERY SINGLE BOOK!</b><br />
<br />
While reading the lovely bit of literature known as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, I noticed parallels between the other six books and the seventh.<br />
Let us begin:<br />
<br />
<b>Philosopher's Stone:</b><br />
I fully agree with Hagrid's thematic positions in carrying Harry's body and bringing him along in the motorcycle. He was, again, a key element in helping Harry escape positions over which he had no control (from Dursleys to Death Eaters).<br />
Also, Neville being the one to stand up when no one else would echoes back to those lovely house points Neville earned in PS for enduring a well-placed full-body-bind that was the result of his standing up to Hermione (who, let it be said, reminded me of myself a scary number of times in this book, as she did in PS *it scared my mother*). <br />
The challenges in getting our lovely trio to the Stone in the first book are reminiscent of the many trials and tribulations they go through in Deathly Hallows, but the latter are much more involved, much more antiauthority (they're risking way more than expulsion this time around), and definitely much more dangerous.<br />
Both the Snitch Harry caught in his mouth and Dumbledore's Deluminator should also be mentioned. (I thought "I open at the close" meant he had to try to swallow it...shows you what I know.)<br />
The instant Horcruxes were explained in HBP, I knew Harry had to be a living Horcrux, mostly due to the constant theme of there being an intrinsic connection between Harry and Voldemort. My fear, however, was that Harry would have to actually die for the whole thing to end. Turns out I was wrong. Thank god.<br />
Oh, and Norbert. Or, rather, Norberta.<br />
<br />
<b>Chamber of Secrets</b>: <br />
The Chamber itself goes without saying, as do the Basilisk Fangs (though, oddly enough, neither Hermione nor Ron made it to the Basilisk in CoS to begin with...)<br />
Also, Ron running out on Harry and Hermione hearkens back to when Hermione was petrified and Harry and Ron had to get to the Chamber without her (though she didn't exactly leave them voluntarily, and she did leave them the essential solution to their problem). <br />
Harry and Ginny's relationship always reminds me of her little crush on him in CoS. That's more than likely just me.<br />
<br />
<b>Prisoner of Azkaban:</b><br />
The Shrieking Shack, for one. And the Marauder's map. Also, the destruction of Harry's broom hearkens back to the Willow's dismemberment of the Nimbus. Harry's birthday Sneakoscope is also rather heartwarming. Also: Stan Shuntpike, who was also mentioned in OOtP. Turning the Resurrection Stone three times, like the Time Turner, is another bit of reminiscence.<br />
Now for the intangibles: There is the theme of Harry being "on the run", except this time he really is. (Those who don't get that: I'm referring to when Harry made Aunt Marge blow up and fled to the Knight bus because he thought he would have to run for it.) There is also a figure in Harry's past whose involvement Harry was never really aware of, and said figure seemed totally against Harry, but in reality was working for him, whether he wanted to or not. I am referring, of course, to Severus Snape (for whom I almost cried). Face it: Harry didn't like Snape. Snape didn't like Harry. But my heaven, he was so sweet to look after him for Lily's sake. Also, Wormtail finally repaying Harry (however involuntarily) for saving his life was great. Lupin's inner weakness (did he <i>really</i> think he could get away with leaving Tonks and Teddy?) also comes to light here, which I think makes him a better character overall. <br />
<br />
<b>Goblet of Fire:</b><br />
The reappearance of Krum and Rita Skeeter, Mad-Eye, the twin-core issue, all of the assorted Death Eaters, Wormtail's hand, The Unforgiveables (this is where they were introduced, after all), and...this was the book where characters started dying (Cedric). This was the book that made the series get serious, in my opinion. All of the issues that came to light in the Trials Harry saw in Dumbledore's pensieve also came up again, which I liked. <br />
<br />
<b>Order of the Phoenix:</b><br />
Though this is arguably my least favorite book (capslock Harry, for starters), there is an awful lot that gets transferred here that makes DH so great. <br />
First of all (like I need to say it): Umbridge shows us just who she's <i>really</i> been working for this whole time. Ick. Second, sweet little Kreacher tells us the story behind his bigoted muttering. I actually hope he lived through the Battle of Hogwarts. I really do. Third, the Death Eaters' Muggle-Born prejudice comes to a sickening head. Egh. Oh, and then there's Bellatrix. Yeah. I don't even want to know what's between her and Voldemort, but I think it's just a power play, personally. I don't think Vo... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ None of you (all one of you) have any idea how scared I've been. The flash drive my writing was on (hard disk isn't too large, memory-wise) DIED last Friday. Since then, it is only by the grace of heaven that I managed to have the sense to save a copy of it onto my friend's computer. <br /><br />By the way...IT'S FINISHED. All I need to do is work out a few overused words and disambiguate the plotline. Thank the Goddess I've got some of my poetry here (my more...controversial work is gone, but I can remake it). <br /><br />My aunt died, and now my grandmother's about to. Sweet hellfire, I hate when people get old. (...yeah, whatever...I don't know what that was, either...)<br /><br />In other news...I'm on the verge of a sequel to TIAR (which is now titled "Silence Broken", and has a totally new story). It's called "2nd Law" (as in thermodynamics, entropy and whatnot), and there are VAMPIRES!

                <description><![CDATA[ So, I just replied to a comment on Delurianne's "Lestat's Coffin" (if you're in the mood for a laugh, LOOK AT IT!) I can't post a link because I have so much of a headache, I can barely type this. <br />
<br />
So, then my cousin (with whom I have argued for YEARS about Lycans v. Vampires) brings this up...<br />
<br />
"You know what's worse than vampires?"<br />
<br />
ME: "What?"<br />
<br />
"Gay vampires."<br />
<br />
I'm sorry, but I nearly broke the keyboard laughing. This is too great. <br />
<br />
Oh, and for anyone who still reads my things, TAKE IT AND RUN IS NOW EIGHT FULL CHAPTERS! If you paid any attention to ADI, you'll know it died after six. TIAR is a full eight, and I've still got plenty of story to work with! YAY!<br />
<br />
Oh, and I've written some more poetry in my spare time. I'll see if I can post any of it.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I went to Barnes and Noble the other day, and finally got the novelization of the <i>first</i> X-Men movie for completion. I now have all three of them and let me say, it's about time. Half Price Books: Good if you're looking for a cheap book of Shadows, bad if you're looking for a book written something close to six years ago. And a serious rip-off in giving you your money's worth for your stuff. I gave them three perfectly good CDs in their cases with the information booklets and everything, and I get a dollar and eighty-eight cents! <br />
<br />
Anyway, now that I have it, not only is B&N my favorite store now, I have something to <i>do</i> with my time! <br />
<br />
Oh, and before I left for DC, I (took me long enough, I know) got a copy of X2. Now all I need is the first one, and a quick trip to Wal-Mart should solve that. I also got LXG in Gatlinburg (at walmart, no less!). Lemme tell you, Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge have now been officially renamed the land of a thousand tourist traps. Traffic is MURDER. ]]></description>

(In case someone actually decided to read this, Bryan is a friend of mine whom I got obsessed with Boingo, Danny Elfman, and anything relating to Nightmare and Corpse Bride. He's also...well, he either doesn't take too kindly to slash, or doesn't know what it is. The stuff in my favourites would make his hair go Tim Burton.) ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yeah, ADI's gone. I needed to clean it out so there weren't any questions about it (couldn't answer any of them, anyway). <br />
<br />
If (more like when) I finish it, there will be another story, another COMPLETE story, posted here, in a completely different setting, called (unless I can think of a better title) <i>Take It and Run</i>. It's got a whole different cast of characters, and a lot less characters, now that I think about it. No vampires yet, though. At least, I don't think so. That may change, but I don't know...it seems to be coming along just fine without one.<br />
<br />
I'll be off until this afternoon, and I'll probably work on Take It and Run when I do get home. <br />
<br />
I told my choir director's husband (yes, I sing in choir. I'm a soprano, and apparently a good one, since I'm in the top level, with the people who actually read music) that I write, and he wants to see my work. He's really interested, which makes sense. He's a serious comic book fan, but his realm of choice is (get ready for it) Superman. He has an entire room in his house filled with Superman stuff. It's pretty hilarious. His wife thinks it's hilarious, anyway. He's also a good friend of mine, so I may send him part of Take It and Run. I know he knows me well enough not to freak about it. I don't know if he'll be expecting Take It and Run, since when I told him about what I write, ADI was still functional. It was a long time ago, when we were on tour in Washington D.C. discussing comic books and the movies made out of them (I think he ranted on for maybe an hour over Lois Lane's kid in Superman Returns.) ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ As of a while ago, there will be no more updates to ADI. At all. I've changed it all so much, none of what I've written now would make any sense. Sorry if you were actually reading it, but it would just confuse you. There is more poetry coming your way, though. ]]></description>

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW AWESOME IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TO SEE X-3 IN NEW YORK????????????), and look what happened to that?<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Basics<br />
<b>1) What's your character's name?</b> Syrena<br />
<b>2) How old is he/she?</b> It honestly varies. No younger than 16 and no older than 22.<br />
<b>3) Is your OC a boy or girl?</b> Girl<br />
<b>4) What's his/her race?</b> Dead God, I don't know. She's definitely got a bit of Japanese blood, though. Something Latin, too, to give her my lips (which are quite full).<br />
<br />
Appearance:<br />
<b>1) If this character were to suddenly become part of the 3D world, and ended up in a heavily-populated area, how many stares would he/she get?</b> Quite a few, considering how she dresses. (think a cross between Madame Battolli and Princess Ai). She's also the lead singer of a pretty well-known band.<br />
<b>2) Is your character considered normal in his/her own world?</b>I'd say not.  She's got a real double life going on. Around town, she dresses "normally" which involves several kinds of theatrical makeup, and onstage she can be herself (a blue-haired vampyre).<br />
<b>3) What would be his/her most recognizable feature(s)?</b> Midnight (think in between Mystique and Nightcrawler) blue hair, deathly pale skin, umm...I don't know, FANGS? She manages to hide all this in public, though.<br />
<b>4) Would you consider your OC as attractive?</b> Yes. She makes a bit of a conscious effort to hide her...everything, though. She has a bit of physical paranoia after her childhood.<br />
<br />
Personality:<br />
<b>1) Temper:</b> Very quiet, except when you make her mad. Has a frightening tendency to do what she's told.<br />
<b>2) Does your character ever get depressed?</b> She's past that point. If you tell her some statistic or some tragedy, she'll just look at you and say, "Well, <i>I</i> could have told you that!". She's really lost faith in humanity. Saves her from the shock factor.<br />
<b>3) Leader or Follower?</b> She's really a follower. I suppose she could be a leader in a really dire situation.<br />
<b>4)What is the main aspect of his/her personality?</b> She's a healer. Physically and emotionally. Her music is intended to express what she really feels. She's always ready to comfort someone (Especially Desdi)<br />
<br />
History:<br />
<b>1) Does your OC have a family of any sort?</b> Erm...not really. Bad experience that ostracized her from her mother. Her main family is the rest of the band. <br />
<b>2) Is your character out on his/her own?</b> No. She's got Raven, the string player (violin, cello, string bass, harp, etc.), Rebekka, the drummer, Marie, the bassist (Or keyboards when Syrena plays bass), Stitches, the visual effects guy, and Desdi, the guitarist.<br />
<b>3) Has he/she encountered any traumatizing events?</b> Umm, let's see...molested as a girl, left her family for good...I think that's it.<br />
<b>4) What was probably the best time in his/her life so far?</b>Oh, most definitely when she went on TV for an interview, and got an earful of thanks from her adoring fans. She and the band nearly died from the whole thing, but they loved it!<br />
<br />
Romance:<br />
<b>1) Single?</b> Sort of. (see next question)<br />
<b>2) Has your OC developed any romantic relationships?</b> She's viciously, viciously in love with Desdi, but she's straight (yes, Desdi is a girl).<br />
<b>3) Virgin?</b> Yes. Proud of it, too.<br />
<b>4) Does your character like flirting?</b> Oh, yes. She's very subtle when she does.<br />
<br />
Symbolism:<br />
<b>1) What animal would you associate your OC with?</b> A cat. Like, an alley cat. One you don't see until it's pounced at you.<br />
<b>2) Musical Instrument?</b> A violin<br />
<b>3) Element?</b> Water, or...does metal count?<br />
<b>4) Planet?</b> Saturn<br />
<br />
Showing the Love:<br />
<b>1) Do you draw your character?</b> No. Cannot draw to save my life. <br />
<b>2) Do you write about him/her?</b> Every day. No, seriously, every day.<br />
<b>3) Do you use him/her in any rpgs?</b> Well, I think I'm supposed to be in one right now, but no one's ever on in the dAmn room. <br />
<b>4) What other ways have you appreciated your OC?</b> Hmm...I write songs for the band! I sing them, too!<br />
<br />
RANDOMIZE!<br />
<b>1) Is your character wanted for anything?</b> Oh, murder, assassination, robbery, conspiracy to do oh-so-many things, the thing is, no one knows it's her.<br />
<b>2) What are three weaknesses in him/her?</b> Her 20/200 vision (she wears glasses!), her appearance, and her clumsiness.<br />
<b>3) Strengths?</b> Her vocabulary in excess of 75,000 words, her disguise abilities, and...she's a vampire. <br />
<b>4) Does your OC drink or smoke (etc.)?</b>If I have her legal age, she drinks wine on occasion. She doesn't smoke; it would ruin her singing voice.<br />
<b>5) What's one quirk about him/her?</b> She has serious ADD<br />
<b>6) Does your character have any phobias?</b> The Wrong Side of the Tracks, churches, and rats. <br />
<b>8) Does your OC like chickens?</b> No. They're squawky and irritating, and they taste horrid.... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I swear, if the school computer deletes everything I've done to my project one more time, I'm going to KILL IT. I think my re-re-done project is going to be a flash animation of me destroying things to Miko Miko Nurse. That'll be fun. <br />
<br />
So, I'm leaving Thursday to Corpus Christi. My little sister's DI (Destination ImagiNation) team made it to state, and we're hoping to do better there than we did last year (10th out of 16 OUCH). <br />
<br />
Living near Dallas, I heard about the prosests outside City Hall, and then I heard about the protest a bunch of 9th graders pulled off in front of the local grocery store. <br />
<br />
Personally, I think the whole thing is horribly put together, badly thought out, and not worth my time. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Someone's cell phone went off in Chemistry today, and it got me thinking whast song i would have for my ringtone once I got a phone (Yes, I am quite possibly the only fifteen-year-old in America without a cell phone). Currently, I'm having an internal debate between No One Lives Forever and Little Girls. So far, I'm beginning to wonder just how I intend to get the song as a ringtone in the first place. But, whatever. <br />
<br />
There's a guy I sit next to in Chemistry, and he's an absolute GENIUS.  He's pretty cute, too (and he has GREAT potential for the future in the looks department, as well). He's hilarious, if not slightly insane, and he has this unparalleled ablilty to make you giggle. Dear LORD, I'm falling for him. Never thought in a MILLION years this would happen. I mean, I've known him for...a while, but I haven't actually held a conversation with him until Wednesday. But here's the real killer. His name is....<br />
<br />
DANIEL. I'm falling for a crazy genius named Danny. Could this be any cooler? Difference is, he's more of a scientific genius than a musical one. But he is really good at music, too (he's in the drumline in the marching band). But that fits my style as well. My main aspiration is to be a doctor, followed by singing myself to death (not literally, but I have been told I have a really good singing voice). <br />
<br />
So, yeah. He hasn't asked me out, probably never will (I think he's taken, but I'm really not sure...) But anyways, a girl can dream, can't she?<br />
<br />
On an off note, we were taking notes during class today, and he said the answer to the problem before the teacher even asked the question, and David (The Idiot) asked "And how do we know this?"<br />
<br />
To which I promptly replied, "Because Daniel said so" (he doesn't really go by Danny just yet). ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Welllllllllllll... I went swimming today, or at least, tried to. Cousins (all 13 or younger) kept continually attacking me. It was painful.<br />
<br />
So, yeah, my cousin (the one realtively my age) and I are going to be watching the Drawn Together marathon on Comedy Central tomorrow night. Great Stuff. Great offensive stuff. <br />
<br />
We had an interesing conversation last night. He actually seemed to take it from a semi-normal point of view, too.<br />
<br />
Hentai. Not yaoi (He is a guy), just hentai. Yuri, too (I LIKE YURI. SUE ME.). Online flash game thingers. Hentai flash game thingers. Great stuff. Great perverted stuff. <br />
<br />
I then realized that, while I have laways thought of him as a perverted bastard, I'm just as much of a pervert as him, I just don't convey it as much as he does. And from what I hear from most of my girl friends, that applies to all of womankind. We were given more raging sex-driven hormones, and an overcompensation of self-control (which is apparently lacking in some of the more pregnant girls at my school). <br />
<br />
<br />
That made no fucking sense. Oh, well. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I was in Borders earlier today, and I went to the music section to look for something worth my time (didn't find much). But while I was there, looking for anything Danny Elfman-related, the weirdest thing happened. <br />
<br />
Making Christmas started playing over the PA system. It was the weirdest thing ever. I mean, I knew they still had their Christmas-y montage of music playing, but never in e thiousand years did I expect that. It was a nice surprise, though.<br />
<br />
But I do think I slightly creeped out the guy who was there with his approximately 2-year-old daughter because I started singing along to it and sort of...bouncing as I walked. ]]></description>

So...yeah. Got new pajamas. They're red with little scotty dogs on the pants. And the sir has LONG SLEEVES OMG. <br />
<br />
SO, I opened my annual early Christmas-Eve prezzies this morning, and it was....Whoonu. By Cranium. Best. Game. Ever. You guess what the other person's favorite thing is. It's great.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm so enthused. My friend at church, Bryan (who I've literally known since the day he was born because I'm 6 weeks older than him) is currently obsessed with...<br />
<br />
Tim Burton, X-Men, Nightmare, POTC, and DANNY ELFMAN MUSIC. <br />
<br />
It's great. We've been going around the church singing Kidnap the Sandy Claws (is there something wrong with that?) since before Halloween. It's great. I cna finally talk to him about something BESIDES what's on Toonami, THANK GOD (it gets irritating). And he sings REALLY WELL. He's not quite up to Danny's level because of his accent, but he's still REALLY GOOD. <br />
<br />
So, yeah! Merry Christmas, to all, and a Happy New Year! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ IT'S HERE! <br />
<br />
I finally finished <a href="http://zabetta.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/z/a/zabetta.png" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="zabetta" /></a>'s present. It's at my  Livejournal, because I'm not exactly sure what would happen if I posted it here (it has buttsecks OMG)<br />
<br />
Just in time, too!<br />
<br />
it probably sucks, but it's unbeta'd (can't think of anyone who would, anyway)<br />
<br />
Things are finally winding down, commitment-wise. I finally got myself an actual copy of Demon Days (rather than the iTunes thing I keep going back to) at Barnes & Noble with a giftcard I got for my birthday (not like I'd find anything else there, anyway). However, upon getting home, my CD player got knocked out of my hands, and Demon Days promptly landed on the DRIVEWAY. FACE. UP. <br />
<br />
Oh, well. It's not too bad. I managed to get all the songs into iTunes before El Manana stopped working. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I still haven't finished posting Zabetta's fic yet! And Tomorrow's Christmas Adam! (I call it that, okay?) Echhh....<br />
<br />
In other news, I've got my solo for the Christmas Eve service (Yes, my Church) nailed, I know for sure I'm getting that Zen Micro, and my dress that I'm sewing together, if all goes well, will look like complete and utter CRUD.<br />
<br />
Bleh. I swear, if I get Making Christmas stuck in my head any further, it's going to start leaking out my ears. Got to find a new song...... GOT IT! Little Girls! The whole reason (well, part of it, at least) why I'm giving her the present to begin with! Yay! <br />
<br />
Okay, I'm done now. ]]></description>
