                <description><![CDATA[ <b><i>Pick up to five of your characters and have them answer these questions! Then tag eleventy kajillion people.</i></b><br />
<br />
So, I'm'a pick Cassie and Giles, my newest two characters and... And... Um, Trisha, cause she comes into the story too and I've kinda been wanting to talk to her again, even though she's technically yours, Gryphon<br />
<br />
-<br />
<br />
How old are you?<br />
Cassie: 17<br />

<br />
What's your height?<br />
Cassie: 170 cm.<br />
Giles: 183 cm.<br />
Trisha: 5'8'', or about 172.5 cm, I suppose.<br />

<br />
Do you have any bad habits?<br />
Cassie: Yea-- No. No I don't.<br />
Giles: ...Feeding off the blood of the living...?<br />
Trisha: Ditto. But, like, not so much anymore.<br />
Giles: I can stop any time I want to.<br />
Trisha: It's not an addiction.<br />
Giles: It's a healthy choice!<br />
Cassie: As the only human here I am officially freaked out.<br />
<br />
Are you a virgin?<br />
Cassie: ...<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/embarrassed.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":blush:" title="Blush" /><br />
Giles: Pfft, I should hope not.<br />
Trisha: Hahahahahahahahahahahah-! (etc., etc.)<br />
<br />
Who's your mate/spouse?<br />
Cassie: My boyfriend died in the attack, I assume.<br />
Giles: Trisha.<br />
Trisha: Giles, but before that it was Roderick, and before that Sebastian, and before that Logan, and before that Paul, and before that it was William, and before that Logan again.<br />
Giles:... You remember them all?<br />
Trisha: Grow up; at least it means I'll likely remember you.<br />
<br />
Do you have any kids?<br />
Cassie: No...<br />
Giles: I should hope not.<br />

<br />

<br />

Trisha: Heh. I'm the "Human-Vampire Liaison for Europe and North America." Big job.<br />
<br />
Boy or girl?<br />
Cassie: Girl.<br />

<br />
1) My head be severed from by body with an axe.<br />
2) My body burned and the ashes mixed with holy water and buried in three separate containers.<br />
<br />
If I am a vampire, the above does not apply, because that would just be awesome.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I finished last night. I read Eclipse with the same rabid desperation to complete the story as Gryphon had. I even sat in the corner  of the couch as she did, mimicking her pose as I mimicked her excitement. <br />
<br />
I want there to be more. I can't wait until the next installment. I hope Jacob stayed turned. I feel nothing but annoyance towards him. He's a selfish boy and I'm annoyed with him for practically molesting Bella and manipulating her into thinking she loves him. She does, of course, but as a brother, as the highest friend. All her romance is left for Edward, who deserves it far, far more.<br />
<br />
So, yes. I don't like Jacob, though I like Quil and Embry quite a bit, and Sam too, since he seems actually able to accept responsability. Gawd. I was so expecting him to die and then Jacob have to lead the pack, ohnoes. I like Stephanie Meyer more now that she defied my expectations. Not that I really COULD like her more, considering. <3<br />
<br />
I might write more later, if I have time. I won't be home until late tonight, though, but I want to talk then.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Tonight is a full moon. As I am driven home, I look up at the sky. The moon hangs there, swollen and yellow and looking particularly close. I see the rabbit inscribed on its surface in grey-orange lunar ink.<br />
<br />
It seems closer than it did one month ago, and darker. Over Catalina it was a pale silver orb; here it is a swelling, a jarring mark in the otherwise blank, grey-black sky. <br />
<br />
I lean my head back in the seat as the car pulls to a noisy halt at a stop sign, and close my eyes. When I open them again, the clouds have shifted and the moon is just a pale glow directly ahead. I can no longer see the gap through which I previously charted its surface in my mind.<br />
<br />
I am tempted to howl like we did that night when were were together and swaying under the lights of the basketball court, the flashing strobe, and the stars. The milk truck wavers into being in my mind's eye, and I almost let a little of the sound inside of my slip to the surface. I can feel, for a brief instant, the heavy heat of her arm around me, the smell of his sweat as we swayed, taking a momentary break from the frantic leaping that we called dancing.<br />
<br />
Home, now, I contemplate the view from my window. Here I cannot see the moon even though the view is facing the right direction. A building across the alley blocks my sight.<br />
<br />
Mom says something casual, I nod and smile my acknowledgment. A pair of dogs in the next building screech and bark at each other. A siren wails.<br />
<br />
I miss camp; all I have left is reality.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I woke up early today to go and do the SAT Biology subject test. I forgot my admission papers and had to go through to get a substitute ticket. This was not fun.<br />
<br />
Then, I got at the end of a line where I waited for an hour before I finally reached the front and was admitted. I was the last registered person in line; all those behind me were on standby.<br />
<br />
Inside, I saw a person with "Ae" written on their pants and was quite delighted. We moved along to the classroom where we were to be tested, finally, and waited outside there. While we waited a flock of black bird flew overhead. This was a conversation starter for me and girl whose name may have been Shila. I'm not sure, but she went to West LA Baptist HS.<br />
<br />
The test itself was uneventful, and I'm sure I did well.<br />
<br />
But then I realized it was around 10:30. I was supposed to have left at 9:15 because I needed to catch a flight to Reno, Nevada, for my aunt's retirement party. We made the flight, thankfully, and arrived around noon.<br />
<br />
The party was alright. Most of the people were far older than me, but I hung out with my dear cousin Matt and his new wife Lael (lay-elle.) I got to know Lael a lot better, and she is a very lovely woman.<br />
<br />
Matt has promised to take me shooting. I look forward to this very much.<br />
<br />
Yes, shooting guns, not photos.<br />
<br />
<br />
-----------------<br />
<br />
1.) How does TODAY make you feel?<br />
Exhausted. It's been a very, very long day, but I'm happy to have gotten to know Lael better.<br />
<br />
2.) If you got tickets to your favorite band's concert, what would you do?<br />
I don't have a favorite band... `>.<<br />
<br />
3.) If everyone died and you were to be doomed on the planet for the rest of your life, but you were allowed to have one friend with you, who would that one friend be?<br />
No matter who I pick I'd feel guilty, so I pick no one. I'd rather be lonely than leave someone out.<br />
<br />
4.) what are you listening to right....NOW!?<br />
My aunt and my mother chat with the radio playing jazz-stuff in the background. My uncle just said something.<br />
<br />
5.) name the worst thing to happen to you in your life!<br />
I tripped off a curb and busted my ankle. >.<<br />
<br />
6.) name the best thing to happen in your life!<br />
I went to CIMI.<br />
<br />
7.) what do you see in the clouds right now?<br />
I can't see the clouds; it's night.<br />
<br />
8.) what do you wish to do as you grow?<br />
I'd like to become as good an artist/writer/person as Gryphon. <3<br />
<br />
9.) do you like the way you look?<br />
...not particularly, but I'm not as unhappy as I am sometimes. I'm wearing my thexy, thexy shirt.<br />
<br />
10.) what do you have on your wall?<br />
I'm at my uncle and aunt's house right now, and they have, uh, *looks around*<br />
A boomerang, a framed painting, an African shield, and a buncha other stuff.<br />
<br />
11.) what is/was your best/favorite subject in school?<br />
My best subject: English<br />
My favorite: A tie between biology and Japanese.<br />
<br />
12.) What is your most favorite band of all time?<br />
Of all time...? 0___o I just bought a Death Cab for Cutie album, but I don't play favorites.<br />
<br />
13.) where are you?<br />
At the kitchen counter in my aunt and uncle's house.<br />
<br />
14.) do you sleep with stuffed animal(s)?<br />
No, but I have a pillow I can't get any rest without.<br />
<br />
15.) what do you think first when you are woken <br />
"Good lord, I'm awake. Screw this, no one will notice if I go back to sleep."<br />
<br />
16.) What is your favorite movie?<br />
Uhhhhh.... Uh.... I really like Casanova with David Tennant. Makes me cry. <br />
<br />
17.) What is your favorite book?<br />
"Little Sister" by Kara Dalkey<br />
<br />
18.) Do you have a child?<br />
Nope, but I definitely want some.<br />
<br />
19.) do you have a life?<br />
.... <i>Yes</i>! *affronted*<br />
<br />
20.) do you have an annoying voice inside of your head?<br />
Yes. His name is Cadall and he is a golden headed lion tamarin.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ For all those who knew him, the passing of Winchester the Goldfish is a sad moment in our history. He lasted but a day in the tank before he was wrenched from life by the cruelest of fates. But, despair not, for Winnie is most surely in a better place.<br />
<br />
Rising from the humble beginnings of a carnival prize, Winchester managed to overcome these obstacles and achieve success in every endeavor he attempted.<br />
<br />
Now, please join me in a moment of silence for the most beloved Win-fish.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So, I take Tae Kwon Do, which is basically the Korean martial art, right? And, I've been a white belt, i.e. the lowest level for about a month now. But, tonight I gained my yellow-stripe, which is the next level, and I'm thrilled! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
Now, awhile back (5 or 6 years ago) I took Tae Kwon do at the same place and got up to my green belt (that's the fourth level up from white belt) but I had to stop because my grades were slipping and blah blah you get the picture. So, this time I didn't test or anything for the stripe, one of the teachers (Mr. Oppel) just gave it to me after class.<br />
<br />
I'm so happy! ^^<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 Weird Habits/Things About Yourself" and people who get tagged need to write a journal about their 6 Weird Habits/Things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "You are tagged" in their devPage comments and tell them to read yours."<br />
<br />
1. My computer is named Baby, but he's actually the second "Baby" in the house. The first died a painful death when her hard-drive died. Yes, the first one was female, but this one is very much male.<br />
<br />
2. I found a picture of a wierdo monster in a magazine and cut it out and put it in a picture frame. I'm looking at it now.<br />
<br />
3. There are three pairs of scissors with blue handles within arms length of were I'm sitting.<br />
<br />
4. Sometimes when I get bored I take pictures of my feet. And the feet of anyone nearby me. I have, like, 32 pictures of feet in my iPhoto library.<br />
<br />
5. I have expansive imaginary worlds in my head. I will tell you about them if you get close enough and stand still for long enough. All my friends know this, and it probably annoys the hell out of them, but I'm always willing to listen to their stories in return (and enjoy it!) so it's fair in the end.<br />
<br />
6. I got an A- in Tennis even though I did none of my homework and failed all my skill tests. <3 I think Mr. Bruce just likes my sparkling personality.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I just got back from the vet. We had to put our guinea pig to sleep today. She was really old, like nine years (the average life-span in 5-7 years.) It was obvious she was in pain; she would just lie in her cage whimpering all day and wasn't able to move to eat or drink.<br />
<br />
We took her to the vet, and she said that the guinea pig was in obvious pain and probably had arthritis. Also, she found some lumps that could have been tumors. The vet said our best bet was to euthanize her. We could have done treatment, but it was unlikely she would respond and survive.<br />
<br />
Mom and I both agreed it was the best choice. They had us sign some forms and told us how they were going to do it. They used gas anesthesia first to put her to sleep so she wouldn't feel pain, then injected her heart with something to make it stop. All very peaceful.<br />
<br />
Then the vet took her away and I came home.<br />
<br />
I never was really "close" to her, you know, but it still hurts. It should hurt, I guess.<br />
<br />
Feck, there're tears on my keyboard.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
