So despite reading Fell giving me this odd sense of completeness --- because the spirits are using it to communicate with me --- I am still particularly unhappy. To elaborate on what I mean there, when I am not awake reading it or doing schoolwork, I am dreaming. And when I am dreaming, they are relaying things to me in context of the book. Like, I guess it means that they, like Fell, watch in order to gain some greater understanding. Perhaps that's what we all do --- simply watch and try to comprehend the truth. Fell calls what he does "hunting lies."

I can only ratify the fact in this for myself, however, as none of you can possibly know quite what I mean or exactly how these dreams work for me, or what I do and don't already know about. I can tell you to an extent, but even then the full impact is something that only I can grasp.

Apparently, though, there was a... You might say totally disgusting set of murder cases around when Kurt Cobain(songwriter for Nirvana) committed suicide. I forget who mom said it was, like what the name of the guy was, but apparently, he killed people. And cut them up. And ate them. And buried the bones in his yard.

What I got from my dream was originally something about Kurt Cobain. I was only getting fragments of his last name in the dream, but it's not really that hard to figure out when you have most of a name and the phrase "suicide." Still, my dreams are not... 100% clear. I'm still a developing psychic, I suppose, though not all dreams in general are clear, no matter whose they are.

So I found I was vacantly wondering if he had passed on. Not like, died -- of course he died, that's not even a question -- but moved to the other side. This might make little sense to you, but I believe that this side is hell, that we can survive it living because we have the Light within us. But when we die, the Light goes back to the source. And if we don't go with it... Suffering ensues.

And something, in this dream, was biting at the back of my head. No, no, no, no. And I was blocking it out. And it was repeating itself. No, no, no. And I blocked it out still, and finally it gave up. And after, something else entirely came in, and said Yes instead. I should point out that the correct answer to the question was no, whether dream-me wanted to hear that or not.

Now, in real life I probably would have taken no for an answer and felt bad for him. But the point of the dream, I think, was about people in general, not me specifically. Kurt Cobain isn't someone I know that it would simply break my heart to know was in what I consider the true hell --- I don't even really listen to Nirvana, haven't listened to it at all since 8th grade. Not because I hate it or anything, it's just not of epic importance to me because I never really took the time to listen to much of it in the first place, so I never really got into it. Honestly, I know nothing about the man, except that he committed suicide.

The only insight my dream gave me about it was that someone didn't understand. I'm not sure what wasn't understood --- him in general, the meaning of his music? It must have been something pretty important to him to be relevant to his suicide, I figure. I might have to research it when I have the time.

But anyway, after receiving the false answer(I'll explain why it's false later), I left the dining room where I had been, and walked into the living room. The clock read 6:67. Not a possible time, but like a minute off from the clock reading 666. Like, an indicator that what had happened moments prior was not of God, maybe?

Anyway, in the dream, I proceeded to go upstairs to my room, and read Fell. Yes, in my dream, read Fell. Crazy, crazy Stray, Lol. But anyway, what it said in the book was not an actually part of the book. Instead, it said something about Fell watching a man laugh about a murder where the victims flesh was eaten afterward, and something about 'terrible magic.' It was written in David Clement-Davies' writing style, but it was not part of Fell and has absolutely nothing to do with the storyline, to my knowledge. Granted that I'm only ab... ]]> ~cryptated http://cryptated.deviantart.com/journal/28605185/ http://cryptated.deviantart.com/journal/28605185/ Fri, 27 Nov 2009 07:53:36 PST

It's all Jaisia's fault.
And that's not an insult. It's not really a bad thing.

It's a web community type thing. Check it out.

I just finished reading John Green's Looking for Alaska. Which is hilarious, if you're okay with some sexual references, male strippers, Strawberry Hill wine, and Malboro Light cigarettes... And pondering the nature of death.

As to why this book is great---
NO ONE CAN CATCH THE MOTHERFUCKING FOX.

More sexual references than I usually put up with, but totally worth reading despite that.

And now I'm re-reading(or at least skimming) 'The Sight' -- a highly morbid switch from the hilarity that is Alaska. Not because I ran out of books. Nonya business why I'm reading the Sight though.
However, it's worth reading, too, on that note.

As to alcohol consumption, though....
The motherfucking fox cannot summit Strawberry Hill.

You know that feeling that you're inadequate?
I have that feeling. Everyday. I'm lonely, I'm tired, and I had a horrible headache today. School is not a fun place to have a headache.

I know other people suffer, and some find other people whining annoying. I do my part; I listen and comfort where possible. I think I've earned the right to complain. It's not my fault that some people don't want to tell me anything -- in fact, that hurts me. But I do the best I can, and that's all you can really ask of me.

That said, I don't know why my life sucks so much. I could say I'm a relatively good person. I don't judge by race or sexuality, I don't down other peoples religious beliefs(actually, I enjoy learning about them & finding all the points I agree with), and I usually try to help people and consider their perspective. But despite all that, I woke up to mom calling me a 'fucking bitch' today.

Because, apparently, no matter who I am or what I do, I am not good enough, simply by merit of being me. I don't have to do a thing to get cursed out.

I know some people will misjudge me; I try not to let that annoy me. But it's horrid to be treated like hell by those who supposedly know you the best -- family, friends, that sort of thing.

My mom, well, I've touched on that topic. She has little consideration for the feelings of others. Dad is a similar case, with a generous scoop of trouble expressing himself properly, sprinkled with biases. My friends, really, are no better, just less likely to kick the shit out of me verbally.

Some of them are cold -- were it not for being empathic and watching tiny facial changes, I might call them emotionless. I generally feel these people probably hate me, but it's rare that I vocalize this. I've had other friends dub these people a 'lost cause.' A long while back, Amaya made such a comment about Ben.
I'm not sure whether to defend him, or just agree with her. I can certainly see why she would think that.

Others, despite knowing for years, do not know me, and do not really grant me knowing them. I've had all sorts -- pathological people pleasers, people who are just outright paranoid of showing emotion, habitual liars, creepers and mistrustful bastards. You name a disorder, and one of my so-called friends has probably had it at some point in time. It varies. Depending on who it is and how they handle it, it can be accepted and the relationship not hindered badly by it. But most are oblivious to it. Most don't care. Many back away when something is too engrossing. Afraid of strong ties of any kind.

Of course, I've also had the kind who are my loyal friends.... When it's convenient for them. If it's not, well, I can prepare to have myself a new asshole ripped. No joke.

Is there any question why when quizzes ask something about a 'best friend,' I usually answer with "I don't have one"?

Along side that, many of the people I've known have died or moved far away. I have one real-life friend I have no qualms with, Ederik. Guess where he went? Japan. Other than that, the friends I don't have disorders with are all online friends -- Davy, Jaisia, Silvy, etc.
I live a pretty sad excuse for a life, honestly.

Alternatively, I ordered some CDs and books. That is like, the only thing I have to be happy about. Yeeeah, I know, I'm a loser.

Some random guy/girl comes up to you and says "Hey what's your name?"
Just call me Stray.

What's the last thing you put in your mouth?
Pepsi Cola.

What does your last text message say?'
It was probably something placidly emotionless from Ben. Or a chain letter from Tori. Disabled texting and proud of it.

The last song you listened to?
Over You - Chris Daughtry

If you hated someone and were put in charge of their funeral music, what would it be?
I'd choose some generic sad song and be done with it. Wouldn't even bother attending the funeral. Just leave the, instructions and bail.

What did you do yesterday?
Laid in bed and wondered why the fuck I'm even alive.

Pick a scar on your body - what did you do?
Wrist, carved the word "HATE" in it with a pocket knife. Pretty faded, hard to see. I think only the E is really visible anymore.

If you could pack your bags right now and were given a plane ticket, where would you go?
Anywhere but here.

Do you watch sitcoms religiously?
No.

What do you really think happened to Steve on blues clues?
I don't know or care. By the time he left the show, I was old enough that I'd almost entirely forgotten about it.

Who is your most religious friend?
Dunno.

Who do you trust with your life?
.... No one. Not even myself, most the time.

If you could change your name to anything what would it be?
Psh. As long as it isn't Crystal, or Alison, or Becky, or some other lame-ass generic name like that, I really couldn't care less.

What would you say if someone told you were the most beautiful person in the world and they would do anything to wake up to your face each and every morning?
Dump a drink down their pants and RUN. Freako creeper on the loose!

Once, yes. My father called.

Name 3 things you would NOT tolerate in a relationship?
The majority of human habits... Lying, chiefly.

Are you afraid of falling in love?
Eh. I'm afraid to trust people. I can't much have friends, so I really doubt 'falling in love' would settle well with me at all.

Is there someone that popped in your mind after that question?
Nah.

What features do you find most attractive in the opposite sex?
I think humans are hideous animals. Either gender, eyes are the only plausibly attractive feature.

Fill in the blank. I love _____:
(The more boys I meet, the more) I love my dog.

What is a goal you would like to accomplish in the near future?
Finding a purpose in life.

Honestly, what's on your mind right now?
Some pretty dark shit, man. Let's not depress you with too much of my thought process.

If you could go back in time and change something, what would it be?
Being born.

Righty or Lefty?
Right-handed, although I can use my left. I just use right as force of habit.

Yeah, but I'm too lazy.

Favorite jeans?
The more faded of my two black pairs.

Favorite juice?
Anything but apple or orange.

Have you had the chicken pox?
No.

Ever had plastic surgery?
No.

Who knows you the best?
Jaisia. Which is sad because she's an online friend.

Nope. Not unless you count the play I wore glasses with the lenses removed for in 4th grade. I think I still have those somewhere.

Ever been in a fight with your pet?
Play fight. I used to tweak her whiskers and she'd try to nip my fingers... I miss Lady.

Did you buy something yesterday?
Nope.

Did you get sick today?
More like depressed, but either way it left me immobile.

Did you miss anyone today?
Yes, a lot. A couple individuals.

Did you get in a fight with someone today?
No.

To those of you who missed it, we basically all get to use journal skins until the end of the month. Shame, I'd like to use them longer, but I'm not about to blow my limited amount of money on that. However, I might do commissions for subscriptions, and will be using paypal too soon. Mom just isn't too eager to get her butt up and go deposit the money I gave her into the account.

Anyway, lately I've been in a living hell. I have a headache, so it's time for pills again, hooray. I can't seem to sleep and I'm usually depressed. Heh. Perfect.

According to my mother, we have a hurricane coming and will likely lose our electricity. The joys of living in Florida... Not, I will so be leaving this shithole state as soon as possible. After all, it's a naval heap and thus a major war target... It's a dangerous place to live. I'm so not staying here unless I gain some sort of severe mental illness.

I think I'm going to go back to writing maybe weekly journals, if for no other reason so I can vent some of this complete bullcrap that I call my life.

This week the trend, was to crash and burn and then return again,
to practice the life that I pretend provides enough to get me through the weekend.

I'm starting to feel like I have a fever, too. Funfun. Mom wants to chew my guts out for not feeling well, I have Ben's iPod but don't feel well enough to sit up much less work on the computer to clear it off right now. Hell, I've left the computer several times over the course of this journal, honestly.

Life sucks.

Jesus proposed that we live lives that challenged us, so we would learn from those challenges and thus become closer to God and each other, and more capable of facing evil without succumbing to it. Learn to love our brothers and be firm in the face of our enemies.

Lucifer proposed that we live perfect, flawless lives, pre-structured and no questions, unlike Jesus' plan where it was very possible to mess up and be stuck learning longer. Very 1984, I suppose you could say, with a little "love & light" twist. Of course, there is little you would learn from constant happiness, so Lucifer's idea was rejected.

Like anyone else, he did not enjoy being told he was wrong about something. Ultimately, Lucifer believed that he was just as good, if not better, than God and the souls/angels he favored. To anyone with a Christian or Catholic background, the first thought is probably "The hell he is! He's the devil!"

Good, keep that mindset. Because Lucifer is not as powerful as God or Christ, and ultimately is not as powerful as you, a child of God, can be. The same goes for any of his minions -- totally different level, they aren't competition for you at all, but it does require that you believe in yourself and your God(even if you call him by a different name; there are many roads to heaven).

Of course, just as sin can be tempting, so can Lucifer. He was(and is) very persuasive, and convinced about a third of the angels and spirits that he was right. God cast them out of heaven, thus creating the fallen world.

As good as their exile sounds, you're sitting in the fallen world right now. You can't see them or hear them most of the time, although you may occasionally. The numbers of us who can perceive them has, in recent years, increased. More children are being born psychically sensitive, and more people hitting a stage where they start seeing and hearing what they didn't before. Many people see when they are very young, shut the ability off because they're told it's just their imagination, and then have it resurface later in life.

God only gives us what we are meant to handle that lifetime; I cannot promise that you will see, hear, or sense any of this during your current lifetime. All the same, you should know it's real. We are all here for a reason, and they dislike this. When you hit a spiritual path and start walking down it, be assured that they will attempt to put up roadblocks.

I would say they aren't worth it. God put us in their world as a learning experience. They have much knowledge, but little moral. The things we were sent here to learn, they never learned. You weren't sent here specifically to learn Spanish, but that might be a means of getting to a real goal, maybe you can help someone who speaks the language. The demons can speak any language, but are more likely to use them to scare you than anything else. Our true goals lie in love and self-improvement. Their goals are in stopping those things; in making you feel unloved, in making you hurt others, and in making sure you do not get closer to God.

I, personally, take it as a sign that I am doing good by God if these negative entities are annoyed at me enough to interfere in my life. Oh, you're mad because I'm telling the possessed kid all about you and how to get rid of you? Great! That must be exactly what I'm supposed to do then, thanks.

They will try to stop you, lie to you, tell twisted versions of reality, and whatever else they can to put a wrench in your gears. Don't let them. If you believe in yourself, realize both your good and bad traits, and that God loves you and you are still important to him regardless of your flaws, and still a valuable part in his plan by merit of your good traits, then you have the power in this war.

Even if you can only think of "I am blind to my bad traits" as a bad trait, or "I can see my flaws" as a good trait, they exist.

On a slightly more personal note, I'm apparently in my "awakening" now. I've known the facts on the spiritual world for a long time, but I guess now it's time to do my part against it, and my part to help the rest of you. That requires me to locate the strength to do so within myself. And you can imagine, I have things stalking me that want me to fail at this.

I've been feeling paranoid. You know, like feeling like someone's watching. Once that wore off, yesterday afternoon, I had a vision of this girl I'm pretty sure I've never seen before coming out from the blackness of my closed eyelids. It started with her eye coming into focus, so at first I thought it was just one of those flickers of colour you see when you close your eyes aft... ]]> ~cryptated http://cryptated.deviantart.com/journal/26976141/ http://cryptated.deviantart.com/journal/26976141/ Wed, 02 Sep 2009 12:01:18 PDT
"1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person must post 10 things about themselves on their journal.
3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 10 people and post their icons on the same journal.
4. Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them.
5. No tag-backs."



1. I think my friends suck; they exist, they talk, but they don't really help and often refuse to let me even try helping them.
2. My hair frizzes/curls up in humidity. And lucky me. I live in Florida. GAH! hatehatehate.
3. I smack my computer when it makes weird noises, I might smack you too.
4. Everyone on earth can probably find one song they like on my iPod; my music taste is really that varied.
5. It get better everyday that I don't have to say "I'm sorry, I'm coming home." I don't like doing what you say if I know point-blank that it's wrong, that rule applies to teachers and parents too.
6. I'm very familiar with the sensation of being alone in a room full of people who say(but do not necessarily mean) that they love you.
7. I think people who get hung up over romance are retarded; if it happens, great, but if it doesn't, don't waste your energy complaining, it's not like a lover is the only creature capable of loving you. Heck, they're actually the last person you should expect to genuinely love you.
8. Closed-minded people annoy the shit out of me; I'm gonna come slap your mother someday, Maya. >/
9. I hate classic literature. The language in it usually just isn't compelling to read. Take the Red Badge of Courage for example; the story's fine, but the language is like role playing with one of those wannabe-literate types who rape the thesaurus and mangle the English language with their immature attempts at posting.

Note the basic rule of writing; quality over quantity. Don't write a full paragraph on something that could be said beautifully, clearly, and affectingly in one sentence.
10. Despite what the above comment might lead you to believe, I do like more complicated works, like Stephen King for example. But Stephen Crane was a shit of a writer. Knew lots about war and naught about writing.

I tag:

Yeah, yeah. It said ten, I did three. I know. I'm kinda slack about these journal things.

First off, Stephanie Meyer is not necessarily a bad writer. But her creative ideas suck. Twilight, while popular, does not teach any real moral lessons, and as Stephen King mentioned, seems to be angled at teenage girls. I'd like to add that it's usually stupid teenage girls who end up Twitards. Really stupid teenage girls.

Oh, that's right, didn't you know? Stephen King, king of horror, thinks Stephanie Meyer isn't a good writer, and he's right, too. Although her wording and descriptive skills aren't bad, her creative skills suck, and that is part of writing.

Now you'd think, with a title like 'king of horror' people would realize that he's a bigshot writer and probably knows what he's talking about when he says J.K. Rowling's good and Stephanie Meyer bites. But no, actually. Instead a flock of mentally retarded Twitards jumps the gun with comments like "He's just jealous," and "Stephen King can't write for shit."

They use defenses like 'I couldn't understand his books' or 'they're all sadistic.' Reality check, people -- just because you aren't intelligent enough to read a Stephen King novel does not mean they aren't completely amazing to the people who can read them. And sadistic? They're horror novels, pal. They're supposed to be. Why don't you go watch Teletubbies if you can't handle that?

Honestly, people making stupid comparisons, and saying King's books suck because they're scary and Meyer rules because hers aren't... What part of horror novel do you people not grasp?

People like different kinds of literature. That is normal, that is acceptable, that is to be expected. When you start denying the right for other kinds of literature the right to be just as good in their own ways, you're just being stupid. I've never written horror myself, but I still realize Stephen King's books are great. Why can't you?

There's this thing called 'variety,' and it's a fantastic thing. You should be grateful for it, it makes life a heck of a lot more interesting.

I had an ex-Twitard for a classmate. Want to know how she got the 'ex' part? She realized real life isn't like Twilight -- relationships don't come out that perfect. The reality is, even if you found your true love, there are going to be conflicts, mostly internal, emotional conflicts. On that note, go read Cujo. It's a Stephen King book, and it does rather nicely at portray this.

I got Cujo from my school library. You can probably do the same. Twilight isn't Eragon, and it isn't Harry Potter. It's not amazing. There are countless other cruddy teen romances out there, granted that most of them aren't as long as Twilight. So why does Twilight get so much attention?

I've read better teen oriented romance books. I've been into books that weren't really 'amazing,' I just liked them anyway, like Warriors. Aggressive fans are a bummer, and they make the legitimate fans look bad.

I've read a story regarding someone getting chemicals poured on them by a Twilight fan for telling her to close the book and pay attention to the lecture in class. It goes too far, it does.

I don't care if you love Twilight more than you love your family; but you really do need to grow up, people.

I'll need someone who can manage humans and a variety of domestic animals, dragons, etc. if you're interested in portraits.
It perfectly fine if you can only do some of those things. I may take on more than one assistant, and will probably do several of the portraits myself. But I feel that seeing as I'll be doing the map-making a DS, and making a skin, all most likely by myself for the most part, I shouldn't try to do everything by myself, or else there'll be a disaster.

Like, the only picture of Kono on her site is something ancient drawn in MS Paint with a mouse.... Before I had any mouse skillz at all. Dead serious.
[link]

Insert LOLZ AT PHAIL PLZ.

The general layout of the site is okay. I've had people specifically ask me to make them websites with the same basic layout(on a side note, I do website commissions for DragonScales!), but I personally think my own site should show a little more talent than that. Plus, the art's outdated times 10, and I'm going to do a very art based layout for the replacement. -shifty eyes-

SO. That's where I'm going with this. A checklist of stuff I need to do for the site.

Code - 90% (can't complete until art's done)
Sketch - 100%
Final Art - 0%
Information - 50%
Kono's History - 20% (planned but hardly written. )
Kono's Reference Sheet (Normal Form) - 30%

I'll probably do the rest and then launch the revamp before finishing the various other reference sheets required for my psychotic shapeshifting wolfie character. But you get the idea. Those are just the things I promise to shoot out WITH the site.

Commissions will still come first, not to worry.

And, on a 'LIFE' note. A woman told me I remind her of her grandmother today.
I feel old.
Only she said that her grandmother was 'very pretty' too. So I guess I should take it as a compliment.
I dunno, but it made me laugh.

See, available usually means single, which I am. But you may also need to consider that nine times out fo ten my answer to anything of that nature will be a deathglare, a hiss, and then to walk away.

B - BEST/FAVORITE SPORT TO WATCH?
Sports bore me.

C - CRUSH?
One, not everyone has one, Two, not everyone would post it on a webpage. xD

D - DOGS NAME?
She'd dead, but her name was Lady Kayla.

E - EASIEST PERSON(s) TO TALK TO?
Amaya.

F - FAV.COLOR?
Green.

G - GUMMY BEARS OR GUMMY WORMS?
They're basically the same thing, so why's it matter?

H - HOMETOWN?:
Jonesboro, Georgia

I - INSTRUMENT?:
Almost anything I touch will become an instrument if I have music on the brain..

J - JUICE?:
I actually don't like juice. Apple and orange especially taste bad to me, most the time.

K - KIND OF MUSIC?:
I listen to all kinds of music. Except for like, rap and hip-hop, which i don't like.

L - LONGEST CAR RIDE?:
Dunno. The ones from Norfolk, Virginia to Jonesboro, Georgia we did when I was little, I guess.
My ass hurt after those trips, seriously. I had to sit on a pillow.

M - MILK FLAVOR?:
Normal milk will do for me, thanks.

N - NUMBER OF SIBLINGS?:
Two brothers.

O - ONE WISH?
I have no hope, nor ambition, so wishing is beyond my comprehension.

P - PHOBIA/FEARS?:
Uh. Loss, rejection. BEING BACKED INTO CORNERS BY MY FATHER. Urgh.

Q - FAVORITE QUOTE?:
"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt." - Mark Twain

R - REASON TO SMILE ? :
Reason to...? Do you see me smiling? No? Then why do I need a reason to smile, when clearly I am not smiling?

S - SONG YOU LAST HEARD:
I Just Can't Wait to be King.

T- TIME YOU WOKE UP TODAY?:
Around 10:30

U - UNKNOWN FACTS ABOUT ME?:
Little-known, more like. I'm empathic, so I avoid people for reasons they themselves don't necessarily realize yet, or which other people are oblivious to.

V - VEGETABLE YOU DONT LIKE?:
Okra. Seriously, have you ever eaten that stuff? It's wei4rd, especially fried.

W - WORST HABIT?:
Allowing people to go on thinking we're good friend for years, when they actually don't know much of anything besides my name, that I draw, and that I'm lazy.

X - X-RAYS YOU’VE HAD?:
Two. One to see if there was something wrong with my sinuses, another to check if I'd busted my toe earlier this year.

Y - YUMMY FOOD?:
I seriously don't care about food -- it's an aspect of the physical world, doesn't exist beyond that, so what's it matter?

Z - ZODIAC/ASTROLOGY SIGN?:
Scorpio.

ANALGESIC - Real meaning: a remedy that relieves or allays pain.
But if I know humans, you stopped at the 'anal' part and stared.

MOLESTAR - Real meaning: Spanish verb, meaning "to bother."
But, for English speaking humans, you probably saw 'molest' and were like " .... >>;;"

Anyone else wanna share their bad-but-innocent words with me?

Pull up your media player, or take out your mp3 player, and make sure it's set to shuffle. You can use an online radio, like Pandora, if you'd like to, but it's generally faster to use a media player. Make a numbered list, 1-20, of the titles of the first 20 songs that play. Add "in your pants" to the end of each title.

I suggest using your media/mp3/CD player so you can skip songs if you don't feel like listening through all of them, as most radio sites don't let you skip. And obviously a normal radio doesn't skip(that'd be funny, but normal radios live broadcast, and you can't just fast-forward in time, even if that'd be totally awesome).

1. Riot in your pants
2. Damn Regret in your pants
3. Somewhere I Belong in your pants
4. The Last Night in your pants
5. Firefly in your pants
6. Free Up Your Mind in your pants
7. There's a Fine, Fine Line in your pants
8. Macarena in your pants (what the HELL? XD)
9. Time to Say Goodbye in your pants
10. Ordinary Miracle in your pants

When was the last time you told someone you loved them?
Uh... I don't remember. -rubs eyes- I'd only remember if it were exceptionally recent or the occasion had been important.

What's your favorite part about school?
... The part of it ending.

What does it mean when you bite your lip?
Bored, wanna punch you, tired, my lips are chapped, etc. It can mean a lot of things.

What time did you go to sleep last night?
Around two in the morning, I think.

Do you open up to a lot of people?
I don't deliberately try to shut off to people, but I find I won't talk much to anyone in public about myself, so those of my friends who only see me at school(most of them) really know close to nothing about me.

What is the band you've listened to most lately?
Breaking Benjamin. My iPod and computer spam me with it constantly, whether I'm in the mood for it or not.

Have you had any recent nightmares?
None that I remember well enough to recite. Most the things that scare me in the night are real, not nightmares.

Something that made you laugh today?
I was watching Ouran High School Host Club, episode 17. Tamaki being glomped by a huge dog was amusing.

Which is easier: going to the doctor's or the dentist?
... That depends whether there are needles involved.
I'm not afraid of knives, but needles are another story.
I know, I'm weird.

Do you remember who was the last person that picked you up?
Ben. I only remember because I find it startling, and usually yelp as a result.

Do you think that you’re a good person?
Not really.

What was the last thing you ate?
Sour candy.

Are you scared to go to college?
Nah.

If you could have one supernatural power for 24 hours what would it be?
Does "I'm already psychic, what more do you want!?" count as an answer?

Would you change that power if you could have it forever?
No.

Have you ever created a scrapbook?
No. I don't scrapbook my memories, i shove them in a shoebox in my closet.

Which friend do you think you'll stay in touch with after graduation?
Probably none of them, depressing as that may seem.

How many children do you plan on having in the future?
ZERO.

What was your favorite television show as a child?
The Animaniacs.

Is there anything you should tell someone?
NO. I have legitimate reasons for things I don't say, thank you. >/

Who's someone you miss seeing?
My dog and my grandfather, both dead.

Do you like your penmanship?
No, it's terrible.

Have you ever wanted to be home-schooled?
Only near about every day of my life.

Are you holding onto someone you shouldn't be?
Probably. Not like I'd really know, though.

What makes you nervous?
That changes with time.

What's harder: to forgive or forget?
Forget.

Is it easy for you to walk away from friendships?
Not at all.

Have you lost a close friend recently?
Yes.

Do you catch yourself thinking about someone you claim not to care
about?
I don't usually waste time lying, so why 'claim' not to care about someone? That seems kinda stupid to me.

Do you become jealous easily?
Nah.

Have you held hands with anybody in the past week?
No.

Is it hard for you to talk about death?
No, but when I do I probably come off as a morbid bastard so it's best avoided.

How close is your relationship with your father?
There isn't a relationship at all, for starters.

Do you regret anything you did in the past 48 hours?
Besides still being alive, you mean?

what is your zodiac sign?
Scorpio.

If you could choose your own name, what would it be?
Anything besides Crystal. I really just hate my name.

What is your favorite song lyric of all time?
"So here we are, fighting and trying to hide the scars.
I'll be home tonight. Take a breath and softly say goodbye.
The lonely road, the one that I should try to walk alone.
I'll be home tonight. Take a breath and softly say goodbye."
--- "Here We Are," Breaking Benjamin

Lol. That's right. I don't celebrate Easter, I celebrate Zombie Jesus Day. Got a problem with that?
Well, if you do, I will approach the situation with apathy.
AKA, I don't give a damn what you think.

It's not like it's really an insult to the holiday.
He died for us, to give us life. And to give us hope, he rose.
It's a good thing. It's just that my wording is more fun, and doesn't involve giant bunny rabbits.
But does involve rotting flesh.

I've been terribly bored lately, which usually results in one of two things:
A) Stray being a complete moron.
B) Stray hiding in her "emo corner," which just so happens to be the head of her bed and usually involves wrapping herself around a Simba doll and passing out from dehydration triggered by crying.

Obviously, those aren't really fun options. Haaa. Nor does either option reflect positively on me. Like, ever. Kinda had writer's block, too. -shrugs-

Ohwell. Well, I'm done complaining. Sayonara.

First off, you're probably wondering about the journal title. Time Traveling Pretzels, WTF? Well, it's a joke from my Spanish class' textbook.

You see, I'm in Spanish two, and we use Prentice Hall books. There are videos that go with our books, including 'GramActiva' videos to help teach us grammar.

That's usually how you learn it, and there are occasionally, but not always, matching introductions written in the book. Last year, they never sent my teacher the videos and I learned anyway, so this year the videos make it sort of like a joke to me.

But anyway, there was a random guy in the background in today's GramActiva video. He was holding a pretzel, and declaring that he had perfected time-travel... Then he held up the pretzel and disappeared.
We all laughed.

But, in non pretzel-related news, the air conditioner in the unit my family's in.... Broke. Yeah, and we live in Florida. Beautiful, right? And just in time for the warmer weather, too.

╚══╝ Do you feel the pressure now?

I'm getting sort of tired of all the silly things that happen in my life. Some I'll reserve mentioning from better judgment, but others I may as well spill out.

Last night, Silvy finally told Amaya and I something that has probably been bothering her for quite a while. She's been jealous of Amaya and my relationship, and within reason. Amaya rarely logs on Furcadia, and when she does it's often because I asked her to. She and Silvy were friends before I met either of them, and I met Silvy first. Yet now Amaya hasn't been talking to Silvy quite as much, although I've continued talking to both of them.

Silvy would log on, be like "Hey, what's up?" and I'd tell her "I'm talking to Amaya," or something along those lines. So, she began to feel that Amaya and I had something more special than what she had with either of us.

And, taking other events within my own life into consideration, I can't help wondering, if this is all I really do, fuck up other people's emotions?

--Long-Ass Questions
Do you sleep​ with one leg out from under​ the cover​s?​​​
Occasionally.

Do you like to hold or be held?​​​
.... That depends on the context of that question. o.0;

Who is the last person you saw other​ than your famil​y?​​​
Uh, Ben.
And Justin, but I kinda ignore him.
I'mma bitch, I know right.

What did you think​ about​ when you first​ woke up?
"I wish the school would explode..."

What are you going​ to do after​ this?​​​
.... Pee. XD

Are you a jealous person?​​​
Nope.

You had one day to live would​ you stay home?​​​
I would just kill myself and get it over with. It would suck to sit through a day like "OMG I'mma die D;"

What'​​​s irrit​ating​ you right​ now?
I'm tired, Ben's moving, I'm bleeding from open wounds that refuse to fucking heal, and no one's online. D<

Have you done anything​ embarrassi​ng lately?​​​
I don't think so..

It's Frida​y at noon,​​​ where​ are you?
Uhm. Lunch. Reading or talking to Ashley, because this Friday will be an A day. Frankly I prefer B days, nothing against Ashley... But A days include algebra, and Jasmine&Ben on B days are a much more tempting prospect than math.

Is your curre​nt hair color​ your natural​ hair color​?​​​
Yes.

Is this year the best year of your life?​​​
No. I wanna be like, five again.

Would​ you rathe​r your partn​er have gorgeous eyes or a gorgeous smile​?​​
Eyes. Smiles are only valid when someone's happy, and most my friends aren't usually generally happy, so I can't imagine a partner would be any different in that respect.

Looki​ng back,​​​ did you ever waste​ too much time having a crush on a certa​in boy/girl?​​​
Any time including a crush is wasted time if you don't tell them, isn't it?
But I wouldn't tell you either way, would I?

Could​ you ever be frien​ds again​ with someo​ne that broke​ your heart​?​​​
Depends on what exactly happened.

Do you love someo​ne that doesn​'​​​t know you love them?​​​
Not exactly. Just that no one ever seems to take what I say seriously.

Do you give out secon​d chanc​es?​​​
Sometimes... It depends.

What was the first​ thing​ you did this morni​ng?​​​
Hit the snooze button.

Do you have any sibli​ngs?​​​
Two little brothers.

Do you think​ you’l​l be marri​ed in 10 years​?​​​
Probably not. I can't imagine anyone tolerating me, and I'm asexual, so eh.

Where​ do you want to be right​ now?
I don't mind where I am, so much as the fact that I'm alone here.

Worst​ injur​y you'​​​ve ever had?
Slam my finger in a door, nail split, blood got trapped inside the nail. It was blue for months.

How many dogs do you have?​​​
None.

Does someo​ne have a crush​ on you? How many peopl​e?​​
Let's not discuss that.

What were you doing​ at 12 AM last night​?
Try to sleep and being pissed that mom had music really loud downstairs.

If you were kicke​d out of your curre​nt resid​ence who would​ you call?​​​
.... Call? I'd probably go stand in the street and wait for someone to run me over.

If you'​​​re sleep​ing and someo​ne calls​ you what do you say?
Y.... Eh. -yawn- Who da fuck is dis?

Are you keepi​ng a big secre​t right​ now?
Nonya business, is it? Didn't think so.

What are you liste​ning to?
Nothing at the moment.

Do you think​ long relat​ionsh​ips at your age mean anyth​ing?​​
I don't know. Military family, move a lot. So I don't really get long-term friendships, and I've never meddled in dating as I figure it's just another thorn I'd rather not get rammed up my ass.

Do you have any plans​ for the weeke​nd?​​​
Sleeping, crying to myself, wishing I was dead, drawing, writing, the usual.

Is anyon​e overp​rotec​tive over you?
I have a few friends who wanna kill people who hurt me last year, but I wouldn't say that... ]]> ~cryptated http://cryptated.deviantart.com/journal/22735136/ http://cryptated.deviantart.com/journal/22735136/ Thu, 22 Jan 2009 13:47:21 PST

╚══╝ Do you feel the pressure now?

The dog I grew up with, Lady Kayla, passed away Wednesday morning, the seventh of January. Mere days after I had been there with her in Georgia.

I didn't find out until I got home from school. Outside, I saw four crows perched upon a wooden bench by the playground. One flew away when I approached, squawking to its comrades to follow. The other three crows remained on the bench. It occurred to me that crows are symbolic of death, and struck me as odd that I have never seen crows here before, even though I have lived here since 4th grade (now in 9th). However, I shook my head, thought nothing much of it, and went inside.

General routine. Ditch the shoes, ditch the bag, start up the computer.

Until mom called for me. Her tone of voice told me immediately what had happened --- Lady was dead. Psychotic intuition twisted my stomach as I retreated downstairs to let her tell me what I already knew.

It took a while. She blabbed on, but ultimately there was only one important piece of information --- my only life-long friend, up to this point, was dead. I crossed my arms, laid stomach down over the loveseat, and stared into the mirrored backing of mom's display cabinet. Not so much into the mirror as beyond it. It took time to actually coax the tears out.

When I finally went back upstairs, the only reply I could figure to the IM's I received was 'Lady's dead.'

I probably won't be doing very much art for a while. I don't feel all that creative at the moment. I'll do the work I've already promised people, or started. But other things will more or less be put off to a later date.
