Apparently Sammy accidentally used my deviantart for a day. (I never logged it off her computer.) So I apologize if there was any comments sent out that didn't make sense. She warned me she might of done some comments or favorite-ing.

But yeah that's it.

Oh and I just watched that movie Alice on the sci-fi channel. It was soooooo cool. Yay Wonderland spin offs.

The in-between is always the worse you know? I'm stuck in my grandma's house, miserable and wishing I could do something productive. Well something more productive other then playing house-wife. I'm so sick of just cleaning all the time and picking up after people. So I've given myself a goal... write as much as I can right now. Cause once I turn eighteen I'll barely have time for it.

Now, my latest little project. For now it's titled as War of the Wicked. That'll probably change unless people like it. O_o The main character is Xavier Raidale. Or also known as Snipe by his co-workers. He's the lazy ass that sits back and kills things from afar while everyone else endangers themselves. Haha. XD But anyways... I'm writing this story in first person, journal style. Something new for me. Let's see how it goes.

Then there's Conner Rowan. He's not actually mine. He belongs to Sammy for our lab rp. We've been writing it forever. He was really an a** at the beginning but he's rubbed off on me. Now I love his a** and couldn't live without it. Too bad I'm killing him now for plot purposes.

Lastly, Tony. Oh my beloved Tony. He belongs to my novel that I've finished. I'm suppose to write the sequel. But ever since I lost most my data thanks to a virus I've lost the will to write it. Maybe I just need to wait then go back to it? I dunno but I'm pissing off my fans that read the first one. O_o My mum is ready to kill me for taking so long, haha.

So why am I depressed, may you ask? Well I'll list my lil woes to you.
~ My family has lost two houses within the last two years.
~ My mum got fired from her first job.
~ My mum buys a business (hell knows why) and the previous owner sabotages our rent, trying to get us to give back the business even after paying for it. She was the most vile woman I ever met, and a b**** of a land lady.
~ We loose the business and my mum falls into a depression.
~ Bills pile up in my family since my mum is out of a job.
~ Now, we can't even afford the rent at the house we were at.
~ We're suppose to be out by the end of this month
~ A week ago, the electricity and the water turned off in that house while we're trying to pack. This makes it almost impossible to do much there.
~ We find out the electrical box is broken, yet the land lady refuses to let a technician fix it. She owns the home so they can't do anything without consent. She PURPOSELY leaves us without electricity for God knows what reason. (Why do we have such bad luck with Land Ladies? I think they hate my mum or something. I'm sure this must be something illegal. We're not suppose to be out yet.)
~ Even though we payed our water bill, the Land Lady asked to have our water shut off. (F***ing b****. Please tell me that's illegal dang it! If only we could afford a lawyer.) Now we can't wash the dishes in our house so we can pack them.
~ We have to move into my grandparents' home now.
~ I'm sharing a small bedroom with BOTH my sisters who don't know how to clean.
~ My poor dogs and cat are left at my old house we're moving out of with no air conditioning.
~ My grandmother is allergic to pets so we have to get rid of them. (I refuse to put them in the pound)
~ Every possible person who could take them and I trusted... they've all had reasons they couldn't in the end. I don't have a home yet for any of them.
~ Thinking about getting rid of the pets kills me inside. Having to put them in the pound might actually do it though.
~ I can't graduate highschool, and I feel like a failure because of it. Oh how far I've fallen from straight A's and honor classes.
~ My mum is depressed, my dad is angry, and I feel like I'm falling apart.
~ I can't get a job cause I have no highschool diploma, nor can I get one. (My only hope is a GED eventually.)
~ Every F***ing hope I've had has plummeted into nothing. Everything is falling apart.

I wonder... how the hell am I suppose to make it on my own, if even my parents can't manage it.
Why is it so hard right now?

Wonderful right? Especially since all I ever do with my time is write, draw, play piano, and play video games. I mean I don't know what to do with myself lately. It sucks, especially at night when its worse.
Tomorrow I should find out why I'm having these pains. The doctors are testing for different forms of arthritis and auto immune diseases that attack the joints. So yeah.

Neglect:
Due to this pain I've been neglecting Deviant. I know, sorry. But even typing this up was hell. (And probably not good for recovery.)I hope it ends soon so I may return with vengeance.

Ants:
They're EVERYWHERE. In my bathroom, on my desk, on my floor, in my bed. My room has been twice as spotless as usual and I'm vaccuming every three days in hopes they'll leave me alone. No such luck so far.

Now I'm off to kill some more... they're on my desk again.

So I have a roleplay account on deviant. The reason I tell you this is because all my Baccano fan-art will be posted there from now on. Double posting is annoying. So if you ever want to take a peek, here's the link to it- [link]

Now I'm going back to working on that lab rp with Sammy. Damn we've written a lot.

]]> ~kayonaku http://kayonaku.deviantart.com/journal/23517290/ http://kayonaku.deviantart.com/journal/23517290/ Wed, 04 Mar 2009 00:22:46 PST I really don't think I have a life right now. (Its been stolen by my lab story with my twin, lol.) I keep getting that surreal feeling. Perhaps I'm spending too much time in these realms of fantasy. @.@ I think its screwing with my concept of reality. Sometimes I swear those stories are more real then my life ever will be. Of course, that probably has to do with all the crap and stress I just finished dealing with in real life. Financial issues, family issues, personal issues... damn I got the trinity of tragedies going on here. XD Well the more stress I have in real life, the less I want to focus on it.

Oh and I got my first reply from an agent. It was a denial of course. But every no gets me a step closer to a yes. So whoot! ^.^

So that's about it.
Oh wait.
One last thing.

I am open for lit-lit and lit-art trades. I am open for suggestions and commissions for literature. I am open for lit collaborations and roleplays.

That is all. You are free to return to the pointless game of life.

I hate reality's twisted sense of humor.
I hate boys.
I hate the fact I care.
I hate life right now.

Once again my faith in guys has been shatter. I'm really sick of trying. I'm really sick of getting my hopes up. Not to mention I can't stand it when when "he's" right. Damn it, why does he always have to be right?!?!
Ugh.
I'll be over it by tomorrow.
Back to never trusting guys.
And realizing that you can't take someone by their word.
Yes doesn't always mean yes.

Oh I started doodling my horrible doodles again. Maybe I'll have Sammy scan them so I can start fiddling with photoshop again. (Thank you Wes for that btw! )

Well here's a quiz about my pointless life long obsession. (No, not writing thank you very much. I consider that to have some reason and logic, lol.)

GAMING MEME

---
1: Top 5 videogames you played as a kid.
---
1. Final Fantasy 9 (first rpg I finished without help as a kid)
2. original Zelda games (the first pixel ones, up to the first 3-ds like majora's mask)
3. Final Fantasy tactics
4. pokemon red, blue, and yellow
5. okay, go ahead and laugh, but I had this barbie ponies game I was obsessed with for about a month as a kid. I put this up, only for entertainments sake.

---
2: Top 5 Action/adventure/platformer/RPG games
---
1. Final Fantasy 9 (total classic to me)
2. .hack//G.U.
3. Kingdom Hearts
4. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
5. Dark Cloud (not too popular, but really good game)

---
3: Top 5 Driving/fighting/shooting/horror games
---
1. Bioshock (omg I love this game with my heart and soul. It scared me more then a horror movie.)
2. Devil May Cry 4 (I contemplated putting this number one, over and over. But I realized that Bioshock captivated my attention far better then DMC. I could easily stand up and leave DMC, but with Bioshock I was glued to the seat.
3. Resident Evil 4
4. Jak II (much better then the third one in my opinion)
5. Super Smash Melee (wow this barely made the list, how sad. btw liked melee better then brawl, sorry)

---
4: Top 5 games that seemed weird but actually wowed you once you played it.
---
1. .hack//infection (I don't know what possessed me to buy this anime styled rpg, but I did. And WOW! This series is still one of my favorites.)
2. Jak II (I absolutely hated the first one in the series. So when my dad got the second one, I scoffed at the idea of playing. Let just say Naughty Dog bit me in the but with epicness.)
3. Harvest Moon (Okay people I bought this game for my littlest sister. When I took the time to actually play it... well the difficulty and strategy the game required amazed me. Not to mention it was addicting. Big surprise with this series.)
4. Kingdom Hearts (From the moment I saw the commercial on tv for this game, I was a fan. I turned on this game with high expectations, and it blew away those expectations easily! Any game that can charm me that much deserves props.)
5. Dead or Alive (Thought these games were mindless, and the lack of plot drove me away. But when I took the time to play it, I was surprised that it wasn't that bad. Still wouldn't buy another one from this series though.)

---
5: Top 5 favourite weapons of choice:
---
1. Nero's demon hand from Devil May Cry 4 (I love the unique slams you do, and how you could drag your enemy to you! )
2. Plasmids from Bioshock (Oh Bioshock, did you steal this idea from my dreams? I loved the possibilities it opened using experimental genetics.)
3. Shotgun (Still THE most useful weapon in any well made shooter game. Just one or two shots to the head mate. XD)
4. Gunblade from Final Fantasy 8 (Two of the most classic weapons rolled into one. This weapon made Squall look bad ass.)
5. Scythe (Any scythe in general is cool, but I mainly think of this from .hack//G.U. when the main character would pull out this weapon the first time in a cut scene. It just takes away your breath, the overall dementedness to a scyth)

---
6: Happy, Sad, Epic, or just plain pointless; Top 5 game moments:
---
1. When Zidane reappears at the end of the Final Fantasy 9 game. This scene is forever locked in my memory as a kid, tears falling from my eyes as I realized he wasn't dead. (Yeah, I'm a dork. Get over it.)
2. The opening cut scene of Kingdom Hearts. It captivated my mind with the boggling graphics and gorgeous music, forever making me a fan.
3. SPOILER WARNING!!!!!!! SPOILERS FROM BIOSHOCK!!!!!!
SO HELP ME SAMMY IF YOU READ THIS I WILL KILL YOU!!!!
so please skip it so we can avoid the blood and guts, m'kay? O.-

(Other then to change the front look of my page. Its real old.)

So I'm searching for an agent for my book "Where the Stars Will Lie". I have a query letter sent off to an agent already, and I'm waiting for a reply. I'm suppose to wait three weeks. Huh... I wonder how long its been. I guess I'll go check.

But anyways, if someone knows a good literary agent that specializes in fiction or fantasy, please let me know. ^_^

God I love House. I love that USA plays reruns all the time. Finally, tv worth watching.

Can you write in first person omniscient? I've heard of third person omniscient of course. But can you write in first person, where the narrator knows everything? >.< I keep arguing with myself on it. On one hand, first person is an assumed limited view right? The reader knows as much as the character knows. But at the same time if its like the character is reminiscing on the event, and telling what happened, couldn't they be omniscient as well? Ugh. Makes my brain hurt. So that's my question for everyone. Please give me your thoughts about it, even if you don't know for sure. I want to know everyone's take on it.

Wow you know its a weird day when you look forward to school starting again. (I don't even have the usual reasons people have, there are no friends to look forward to seeing. Homeschooling is just extra work.) I guess I'm just wanting something productive to do. Even though I got a bunch of productive things I could be doing. ~eyeroll~

Trades Progress:

Kaida-san's
3/4 completed <3
(just waiting on colored version of pic)

And open for more trades by the way. I rather enjoyed writing things for other people.


Collaborations in Progress:

Lab 520
(This thing is always a work in progress. I am still yet to find the storyline I want to stick with.)

Inconspicuous Story
(Chapter 3 or 4)


Individual Works:

Where the Stars Will Lie
Okay I know I said this one was completed, but I'm finding WAY TOO MANY mistakes I need to fix. So this is back in the editing faze.

Where the Angels Have Fallen
I have a bunch of different openings and I'm still deciding on which to go on. So still in planning faze. Oh yes and this is sequel to the one above.

~looks up~ I was sure there was more on this list. ~shrug~ I'll add them when I'm more awake and in better memory.

Thanks for reading my almost randomness. <3

And Kaida-san, with her glorious story ideas has given me a very interesting task! What is it? I can't tell you! That ruins the surprise. But what I can tell you is that it is from her story "For the Love in Her Eyes" The story concept is great, as all of Kaida-san's stories are. Its been so interesting exploring the characters of her story and I only hope that I meet the expectations/standard of the creator.
Oh I'm getting ahead of myself. I never explained what was going on with this lit/art trade. So Kaida-san draws chibis, which are adorable, and asked if anyone had pokemon suggestions for her chibis. Well I'm a total plusle and minun fan, and I jumped on the chance of getting a colored one in a trade. Only problem- I suck at art. XP So instead, I'm using my talents of writing to return the favor! Now its a lit/art trade!
Cool concept right? Well I'm excited, and am half way through the first draft of literature trade. ^_^ Hope it comes out good!

Oh and yes I'm still a bit sick, better, but still a bit. XP No fun. I don't think staying up this late helps either. O.o If I keep this up I'm really gunna mess up my hours. I'm already like a vampire with my late nights and sleeping in till noon. Hmmm I should go to bed now... I'm getting delirious. Night all!

I have people shoving liquids and soups down my throat, or at least attempting to, as I suffer from lack of appetite. Really I don't feel like eating a thing. I only eat because everyone says it will help me feel better. ~shrug~ So far no effect.

I hate laying around. I feel so guilty and useless while everyone else is running from point a to b. (AKA the reason I normally hide my illnesses from parents so I can still do stuff.) But this one was impossible to hide, with too many symptoms to cover up and ignore. So I'm trying to keep myself busy with video games. Only problem is I don't have anything good to play savvie FFVII, but not even complex storyline goodness can quench my thirst for something more active based and with better graphics. Love yah Final Fantasy, but you bore me sometimes. I was gunna replay my .hack//G.U. games, but I think someone is boring my first one. I just can't remember who though. >.< Well whoever has it, I would really like that back.

You know what I really want to play? Bioshock. My father lent it to a friend when I was half way through, leaving me to withdrawals these last five months. And if you've ever played that game, you would know why this is such a horrid thing. The game is so thrillingly addictive, I still remember where I was. I need a ninja to steal that game back for me!

Well anyways, end of rant, gunna lay down and try to nap again.

My mum knows I'm not feeling well, and with our Lake Havasu trip tomorrow I don't think its a good idea to let her know the extent of my bad health. Getting fevers off and on don't always bod well with parents. Actually I'm surprised they haven't noticed me taking on and off jackets constantly. >_< You'd think that would be a dead give away in the heat of summer. Ah well...

So I just had dance recital. Let me tell you that was the most entertaining thing. You see the swing people (including Sammy and I) were shoved in the basement before our performance with the stage right above us. Bored out of our minds waiting and people pounding on the boards overhead we found ways to keep ourselves entertained. I think the funniest thing was playing poker at this table using gum sticks as our poker chips. Everyone in their swing costumes, cards in hand, and the dim basement gave it such a... epic feel. That was awesome. ^_^ Our performance went well too, even the father-daughter dance where I had to where a floor length dress and heels while dancing. (>-< I looked like Belle in that yellow dress.) Oh yah Sammy did you father cry during that dance?

Next to come in my journals of randomness... Lake Havasu trip! XP The heat.... just kill me now. I hope I get well soon, fever plus vacation equals trouble. Bye! =3

Oh yes and my mood thing is still stuck on happy. ~glares menacingly at it~ Is anyone else having this problem or is it just me?! >.< Its because I actually made it happy for once isn't it?!?! Deviant is anti emotions!!! (Oh well at least the little icon guy does a funny dance. Hey look he's dancing to my music.)

We went straight into California Adventure, hearing that I new ride just opened. If you've ever played that Buzz Lightyear shooter game in Disney Land its kinda like that. It had this big Mr. Potatohead outside, talking and doing all that cool animated stuff. The cars were double sided, two on each side, each person with their own cannon style shooter. (What I mean by this is that you pull this little ball on a string to shoot the projectiles just like a cannon, only it can shoot really fast.) The ride is about five minutes, sending your through different stages, each with their own theme. You rack up points by hitting the targets and it keeps your score on the middle console.

Well let me just say this, I SUCKED at this game. My whole family beat me on score, even my littlest sister Kandice beat me! The only thing I got to brag about was my high accuracy rate. (My families average was in the 20% area, mine was at 50%) I just couldn't pull that thing fast enough to save my life! >_< Well enough on my rant on how I sucked at the game. It was fun either way.

We went running about onto the different rides, fending off heat exhaustion with a squirt bottle and ice cubes down our shirts. XD I was forced to go on the bug's life show reluctantly, but that was the only down side to the whole trip. (btw, the reason I hate that show is because of my arachnophobia and the appearance of spiders twice during it. The first time I saw it as a kid I freaked and tried to run out of the show. O.o)

Anyways to speed up this tale we had fun, ate a good dinner at the New Orlean's Cafe, and just hung as a family. It was fun, especially since my dad (even with his cast) was still able to fully enjoy all the rides with us. But I believe the highlight of that whole trip had to be the fireworks. I've never sat in front of the castle for the fireworks, nor do I plan to. (WAY too crowded out there.) Ever since I was a kid, I always had this random wish to ride the Teacups while the fireworks were going. Don't ask me why, but I've always wanted to. Well the fireworks were starting and we happened to walk passed the teacups. There was no line so I jumped on the chance and went running on with my sister. Since there was no line, the guy let us stay on during the entire fireworks, it was coolest thing ever...

I don't know what it is, but spinning slowly, the bright colors all around me, and the fireworks right above us, lighting up the skies vividly beyond the beautiful lanterns and plants was the most breath taking thing ever. The normally annoying music was replaced with the epic songs that went with the fireworks that could give chills alone. Kandice and I were lost in fits of giggles as we spun round and round, the bright colors and music leaving us gay. I would never trade that moment away. = ) And I hope my little sister enjoyed it too.

So that's one childhood dream to check off the list. ^_^ (Wait I have a list? O.O)

Now here's the random quiz thingy~

Comment on this and I will

a) tell you why I friended you,
b) associate you with something - fandom, a song, a color, a photo, etc.,
c) tell you something I like about you,
d) tell you a memory I have of you,
e) ask something I've always wanted to know about you,
f) tell you my favorite pic of yours,
g) in return, you must post this in your journal.

Another Note~

My mood thing seems to be stuck and will not let me change it. Apparently deviant wants me to be happy. O.o
(Which is definitely not the case on this horrible, loathed time of month. I hate being a woman sometimes.)

Challenge to my friends~

Write about your favorite Disney moment in your journal. O.- See how well you can remember it.

2. My window shades don't work and I had to put up material meant for cosplay on the window so I could sleep past the crack of dawn.
3. The annoying green bird belonging to Kari lives downstairs meaning that I get to listen to it squawk all day. >_<
4. I discovered I'm allergic to the bird and having it live down the hall does not agree with my eyes, skin or lungs. (aka, itchy skin when I pet it, constant dry eyes, and bad asthma)
5. I have discovered I'm allergic to this damn house in general for my allergies drive me insane even when I don't touch the bird. I'm living off of allergy medication. ~sigh~
But thats the gist of it. (>.> Will add more when I think of more. The list is sure to grow.
But here's the plus sizes.
1. Smaller house means feeling less lonely when I'm home alone.
2. I still have a room downstairs.
3. The laundry room is right next to my room meaning I don't have to go all the way upstairs to do it.
4. The internet is set up in my room, meaning I'm in charge of when it goes off. (YAY! INTERNET IS BACK!!!)
5. Ants being a closest and most numerous neighbors forces people other then just me to clean up. (Who thought I would of ever been happy about ants! XD)

But yah I'm back to working on Final Fantasy VII. Gosh this game is long. >_< (I'm always getting lost.) And in... certain moods I've been replaying Jak II. Yah...
Well thanks for listening to me complain. Now I'm gunna go search hopelessly for something to make for dinner. (Maybe I'll cheat and go pick up some panda express without my parent's knowledge. >.>

(I'm hoping writing a journal will help keep my mind busy.) Perhaps I should write... hell I'm always needing to write. I have so many projects. I just wish I could concentrate long enough to catch up on school work. Crap... I'm starting to fall behind. ~groan~ That is not a good thing.

Well so my mind is going in circles, ending where I started. Probably best to avoid writing for now, I don't think any of it would be good right now. Neh... (Alright lets try and avoid the complaining that I know will soon explode if I start.)

So on to a different topic.... I know drawing! ^_^ Well I've been practicing lately, copying what I see in mangas and stuff. (All of which was sucky and won't be going on here. >.< I think I'm going to try and draw something that I can scan. Its a bit tough seeing as my scanner makes everything ten times lighter, so its can't be anything that requires shading because it won't show up right. I need to get better at crisp lines, I wonder how I should practice that. >.>

Damn headache, well I guess I'll end this one early. Till next time.

He got stabbed in the elbow joint by this riker named Silence. ~shiver~ That name still gives me the creeps. (I can't believe I created this character.)

Alright so I'm obsessed with Bluesummers, and more specifically the rikers. Ah! Someone hit me.

Oh and my second obsession.... well it has something to do with a certain guy who's a total dork who works at this certain restaurant. He a total short haired Seth... oh gawd someone stop the obsession!!!! (Only Samy will have any idea what I'm talking about thankfully >.>

Its weird, I have a plan for the middle of this story, things I wanna do after I get the universe and characters introduced, but I'm getting a bit awkward introducing the universe. I knew I should have written more that night when the idea was fresh. Grrr, but I have to finish it now that I started. Hell I placed it on Deviant.

So yah the real reason I want to write this story is because of the character Issac, who is still very mysterious and unexplained in the story right now. (>.> In time, yes, patience. I must wait before I unfurl my plan.) But I have a bad feeling no one will reach that point with the horrid 2nd chapter. GAH! ~facepalm~
..... ~grumble grumble~
I'll just rewrite it later.
~sulks in lack of self confidence~
So anyways. We got this new kitten, well I should say my sister got this new kitten. Its so tiny! I can hold it with one hand. I took like dozens of pictures of it, propping it next to stuff, dangling the ribbon to get it to pose. XD See what happens when I have to baby sit the thing for my sister? Oh its so adorable, I might put a picture up of it.

Well anyways, yes today is my birthday, and what a day of the year to have a birthday. You don't know how many times my dad says... I got you for your birthday ~enter random cool thing here~, oh wait, April Fools!
>.< Oh I would get him back somehow if it wasn't for the fact he already took me to a Linkin Park concert for my b-day, and that he's sick. So he gets off easy. Not to mention I'm too lazy to actually pull any pranks today. Besides the cheesy, off the top of my head ones.

So yah I'm lazy.....like REALLY lazy right now. I haven't been in the mood to talk to anyone on the phone as of late, so sorry to everyone that called me this last week, I haven't really picked up for anyone. But yah......
OMG skittles!
~dives for~
My sister got me skittles for my B-day, this is awesome! ~munches on~

Anyways so I've been too lazy to have a birthday party, its too much of a hassle to plan. (And I know my parents are too busy to plan one >.> So I have no worries of that surprise party stuff. Thank goodness.)
Now I'm going to return to my Crisis Core. ^_^ Thank you for reading the randomness.

(Since publication has been proving to be a harder problem then I originally thought >.> Stupid government stuff...being a minor doesn't help at all.)
But yah I put up this little insert thingy... thats suppose to get people's attention without giving away plot. XP It didn't come out too good, maybe I'll commission someone else to do it for me. My skill is not within that of the short stories or summaries (obviously seeing the page count of this book). So yah........
O_O
I don't have an idea for the front cover! Man I forgot totally about that. Uh any ideas?

]]> ~kayonaku http://kayonaku.deviantart.com/journal/17466424/ http://kayonaku.deviantart.com/journal/17466424/ Sat, 22 Mar 2008 22:36:25 PDT _< )Maybe I should steal my dad's some time, its a real nice one.
But yah I had a real momentous occasion this month. On the 4th I finished my first novel. ^_^ I still have editing to do, but as for the overall story, thats all done. The final page count was somewhere around 280. (And how much do you have done Seth? >.> lol, just messing with you bro.)
So if you didn't know about this novel, its titled "Where the Stars Will Lie" and its a fiction about...well I'm not sure how to describe it. Grace could probably describe it better then I, she was the closest thing I had to an editor. I always got instant feed back from her, not to mention one of the characters belongs to her and I probably wouldn't have finished it if it wasn''t for her.
THANKS GRACE!
Oh yah and I corrupted yet another mind today. I created another Nero and Dante fan. >.> Three guesses as to who. (Hint: She's obsessed with Avatar.)

Thanks for reading.

So anyways I'm talking to Sami right now wondering if she'll ever start writing her Bluesummers story. (Dork Seth! Get working on it!!!)

So yah I've been working on my sister's orginazation jacket but have been failing on this as well. (Wow my failure is in abundance today!) The stupid sewing machine won't work for me and my sister is back from her dance competition and could accidentally happen upon the half finished birthday present (Which by the way is uber late.) any time. =_= She doesn't know I'm making it...

So I've had allllllooooootttt of sugar and I'm driving Seth insane. ^-^ I love my dark chocolate. So yah I'm hyper and energetic.... and crap! I LOST THE GAME!
