                <description><![CDATA[ Hey. I'm not dead. I'm so sick of using that excuse, but hey, I think I should clarify.<br />Okay, I'm just going to come out about it: I'm not a very online-social person. I don't do well with communicating in pretty much anything but face-to-face. I, like, never respond to e-mails or forward them, I always forget to respond to notes and messages of Facebook, don't even get me started on replying to favorites and comments on deviantART....<br /><br />So, I don't do it often. I'll try to do better. But I probably won't improve. Heads up.<br /><br />Anyway...<br /><br />I started school over a month ago. Not fun. Hectic. Doing okay in my classes, though.<br /><br />Around the middle of last week I was in the middle of replying to a roleplay when our fridge broke down and we had to transfer all the food in, like, 10 minutes. The day after that, I got sick - NOT SWINE, FOR THE MILLIONETH TIME, but 102-fevers, chills, sore throat, hacking cough, etc. etc. I guess there's something going around. Now I have about five billion things to catch up on. Wish me luck.<br /><br />Also, if you were the person I was replying to, don't expect a reply soon, as the case of events seems to be preventing me from doing much.<br /><br />Finally, the hoglets have offical, going-to-stick names:<br /><br />- Spartacus (Brave one who has an agression problem)<br />-Velcro (Scared one who gets stuck to things a lot)<br />- Samoa (One with really intricant design on his back)<br />- Sam (Sleepy one - randomly named)<br />- Snowflake (Almost pure white one, runt of the litter)<br /><br />That's all, got more homework to do, seeya<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ OMG!! WE HAVE <i>HOGLETS</i>!<br /><br />Okay. Okay. Let me start from the beginning.<br /><br />Most of you know we've been fearing the pregnancy of Rosie the hedgehog for a while now. <br />This morning, my mom goes in to check on them. They are acting extremely strange; Doug is trying to burrow under Rosie and/or climb on top of her, and Rosie is frantic, dragging blankets around the bag they sleep in. <br />Me and my mother hope they're just trying to mate, that Doug is too young to know how to, and that they can only mate in the dark, which would explain the blankets.<br /><br />About six or seven hours ago, my mom comes in and tells me we need to separate Doug and Rosie because Rosie is holed up in the bag. This is EXTREMELY strange - normally Doug hides in the bag while Rosie runs out to greet us. So, we separate them and put Doug in his own 'bachelor pad'.  For some 'weird' reason, Doug is extremely depressed and stressed, so I give him a bath to calm him down [which actually stresses him out more but that's not the point, he fell asleep afterwards]<br /><br />Not too long ago, my mom carefully and quietly walked out of the hedgehog room, looked at me, and said "Rosie had babies."<br />I went, "What?!", not believing her<br />and lo and behold, I go in to check on her [in ninja mode, mind you] and these little high-pitched squeaks come from the bag. She leaves the bag - and the squeaks continue.<br /><br />I about had a heart attack of cuteness and terror.<br /><br />We can't disturb them for another ten days, the day school starts, or else Rosie eats the babies.<br />(BEFORE YOU FREAK OUT!!! View this from the viewpoint of a wild hedgehog: If there's a predator, and the mother hedgehogs are too weak to defend the babies, she'd better 'reabsorb' the nutrients she just spent giving birth or else not only will the babies die, so will she. This way, there's a much larger chance of there being another litter.)<br /><br />If I were to guess, I'd say there were 3 babies. <br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> !!!!!!!!!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ SCHOOL YEAR!<br />That's not as exciting as 'Christmas', but oh well, it's happening. 3:<br /><br />I got my schedule and whatnot yesterday. Math is first again...and I ended up with 'A' lunch, but sadly, that means I eat and then go do Gym. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br />BUT THERE'S NOT SMELLY FOOTBALL PLAYERS AROUND MY LOCKER THIS YEAR!!!!<br /><br />I have a female above me, and then a friend diagonal to my locker, and then a person I KIND of know next to me. No idea about the other side. <br /><br />BUT NO BOYS WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE DEODERANT!!!<br /><br />annnnd that's about all I know thus far. XD We don't get to know who our teachers are until the first day of school (WHICH IS SO DUMB but hey who asked me) so...yeah. :/<br /><br />In other news, there is no way for me to catch up on deviations. D: Sorry guys, I just was on two trips and when I got back there were, like, 50 deviations a piece and I just can't do it. D: Sorry.<br /><br />I've just been soooo freakin' busy!!! DX It's like, everybody wants to hang out right before school starts.<br /><br />anyhoo, what else? Um...I got my ears pierced. XD<br />That's about it.<br />I'll just leave you guys alone now.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I realized the day after I left that I forgot to inform you guys that I'd be on vacation for the next week. 8D;; Um...sorry. Only one person noticed, anyway. XDD<br /><br />Anyhoo, we went down to the gulf where my dad counted and over the course of the week, I met up with 52 friends and relatives. 8D;;...yeah. Who knew I had so many deep south relatives!!! ><;;<br /><br />...Hmm...what to put next? Well, over the course of the week I managed to lose not only my favorite cross, but also potentially my wallet - containing all the money I have. Yep, all 8 dollars of it. Not only that, but one of my only two pairs of jeans ripped, as did the strap of one of the only dresses I own (had to wear it for the fourth of july), and my cell phone acquired the lovely new habit of shutting down WITH NO WARNING and then refusing to turn back on, no matter the amount of charge.<br /><br />But I had fun! I got to sleep over with my cousin Hannah and her five siblings, hung out with my mom and dad's friend's son, Ramsey, whom I only see twice a year, got a cool keychain, M&M headphones, a notebook, two random books, and THE MOST AWESOME AIRBRUSHED SHIRT EVER!!! 8D We asked them to do a really...different design. XDD It's a hedgehog in the middle, and it says 'Love Hurts: Ask a Hedgehog'. :3<br /><br />Speaking of hedgehogs, I think I'm going to go try and give Rosie and Doug a footbath. Wish me luck!  <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My mom and I walked in the hedgehog room a few minutes ago and Rosie was HANGING off the side of the cage BY ONE QUILL. ;; She was STUCK. I pretty much PANICKED and my mom saved her. (We checked her; it seems she's pretty sore, and the quills are sticking up everywhere, but no blood.) but it gets worse!!!<br /><br />Rosie scurried into the tunnel almost immediately after we put her down, and then we were cleaning out the bag and giving Doug some love since Rosie was given special treatment (Crickets and lots of holding), and Doug had the sudden hunkering to go into the tunnel, too. So all we can see is Rosie's back from the hole in the tunnel, when she suddenly spikes up RIGHT when Doug passes. Then, he turns around, and me and my mom are cleaning up when suddenly...<br /><br />One. of. them.<br /><br />SCREAMED.<br /><br />I mean, like, a mouse screaming. (Look it up if you've never heard it and wish to know.) So I panicked again and was about to drag Doug out when he ran out of there like there was fire on his heels.<br /><br />D; Poor Rosie. She's normally so sweet and loving and now she's all...unhappy. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br />In other news, they're beginning to use the litterbox. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />(Oh, and Micheal Jackson is dead.

                <description><![CDATA[ ...well, actually, no, my closet was actually full of crap, so it can't really be an abyss. But anyway! If you guys read anything in this journal, read this: my computer literally DIED for real the other day. As in, it's not coming back. I'm trying to catch up on the deviations, and journals, and stuff, so hold on!!! >< If you're doing a series, I'll try to think of something original for each chapter, but give me a slight break if one or two comments isn't that original. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> I'm, like, waaaay behind folks. D;<br /><br />I WANNA PLAY YOOYUBALL BUT MY MOM'S COMPUTER IS TOOO SLOOOOW! D;<br /><br />Okay, enough of that. -slaps self- ><;; More important stuff to do, anyway. What, you may be asking? Wellll...<br /><br />-Finish cleaning room<br /><br />-Practice my guitar, which I think I'm starting to get somewhere with<br /><br />-Work on my spanish, which I do NOT think I'm starting to get somewhere with<br /><br />- Comment on the deviations, some journals, etc. etc.<br /><br />- REPLY TO THE ROLEPLAY!!! 8D Hahahahaa I was such a lazy butt and didn't respond for months, and by that time I was just like 'SCREW THIS BLOCK I'M RESPONDING!!! -valiant music-'....so, naturally, my response was totally stupid and badly written and crap but CHRISTINE WORKED WITH IT (THANK GOD FOR HER LITERARY AWESOMENESS!!!) ANNND now I must see how she responded because I have yet to click on it. XD<br /><br />- Respond to my numerous e-mails<br /><br />- Maybe go over some pre-algebra<br /><br />- Sleep<br /><br />Of course, those last two are just 'wanna's, not 'gotta's. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />Okay! Sooo...that's what I've been doing and what I've gotta do and where I've been! Any questions????<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ...but there's some worthy stuff, so I'm cleaning the crap that's populated my desk/room/closet for the past two years. Be ready for an influx of deviations! LOTS of drawings! hopefully posted by end of tonight.<br /><br /><br />Let me tell you, it's been...exciting? I suppose that's what you would call it. I've found papers back from FIFTH grade...tons of old cards...like I've mentioned, a MILLION pictures I need to scan in. and I will. before I forget. There's even a folder of 'Stuff I need to show/give back to Natalie', which consists of a bunch of pictures that <a href="http://natticat8.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/n/a/natticat8.gif?6" alt=":iconnatticat8:" title="natticat8"/></a> either drew, or we started a bunch of inside jokes about. (Natalie! I found the Illusion and rock picture! 8D ANNND my old math notebook! Which means ORIGINAL TAP-DANCING BLIZZ!)<br /><br />Not only that, but my computer crashed sometime in the middle of all this. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> Again. Double-<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> So I'm allowed to get on my mom's, but I prefer to only do so when there's nobody else in the room, so...lord knows when I'll be on next. XD I can find a slot pretty much every day, tho, so it shouldn't be so bad. However, it's slow, so I can't play yooyuball until my old comp is fixed!!! DXXX -pwn'd-<br /><br />Man this summer has been so boring. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> Sigh. Oh well, I'm going to a pool party in two days. and possibly seeing UP tomorrow. Any reviews?<br /><br />OH!!! AND PRIDE AND PREJUDICE ROCKED IN A WAY THAT IS UNDENIABLY AWESOME. <3 I want my own Mr. Darcy now, hee. <br /><br />Summary?<br /><br />-Watch for an influx of deviations<br />-Computer crashed<br />-Summer is boring<br />-Mr. Darcy rocks<br /><br />that is all for now. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ and it's time for Mary to clean up her act.<br /><br />Okay, no beating around the bush: I officially suck at being an online friend. It's like "Hey everyone! ......okay it's been five minutes see you in two months." Seriously. and do I EVER comment on jack-squat? I don't think so. <br /><br />So! Here's my new-summer resolutions:<br /><br />*EVERY deviation I get in my deviant-watch WILL be commented on. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blankstare.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":|" title=":| (Blank Stare)" /> No if, ands, or buts. If it's not on the day it's submitted, it will be SOON afterward.<br /> <br />* If I can handle the above, I do believe I will take up Melissa's post-a-day project and see if I can handle that, too, without being a lazy little....urp and forgetting.<br /><br />* Respond to Christine and my roleplay without being an urp and forgetting!!! ><<br /><br />* I think I've covered not being an urp.<br /><br />That's just concerning this issue. I have other resolutions, trust me. XDDD<br /><br />Anyway, last day was uneventful, except apparently the band director was fired at our school for something-or-other. I thought everybody hated her, but apparently she was one of the best directors the school ever had, becuase I saw more than one band kid with a horrified expression, acting like a zombie, or crying. it was crazy.<br /><br />Anyway, I have some people to call - Talk to you guys later!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ 1. Post these rules. (uh... duh?)<br />2. Choose one of your original characters (if you don't have any, use yourself/your persona[fursona/avatar/whatever you call it])<br />3. Post at least 5 facts about them that people might be surprised to learn (but please, try to keep it clean.)<br />(If you're having trouble getting started, facts about how/why/your inspiration when you created them work pretty well, but feel free to post whatever you like!)<br />4. At the end, tag any people of your choosing. Try to tag at least two others, but you can do more (or less) if you wish<br /><br /><br />Okay, using Garin! ^^<br /><br />1#: Jordyn actually gave me Garin. -hugs her- It was really spontaneous, and totally awesome. and on that note, Tana actually gave me Garin's petpet, her Drackonack. His old name was 'Sarcastic' but it failed to fit, so I changed it to 'Blood'. XD<br /><br />2#: Garin was originally supposed to be nice...she actually was, the first ten minutes I introduced her to the guild. Then, I took a shower (which is, of course, where most brilliant ideas evolve) and started to really think about her, and slowly her personality kind of morphed into what it is today. In fact, sometimes that little period of time still comes into play in roleplays - I've actually said something along the lines of 'back when Garin was nice' when Chester was describing something.<br /><br />3#: I played with the idea of Garin having a little brother for a reeeeally long time, but then Ayame came along and I was just like "...eh. Bye brother, hello sister.". I also considered making her dad an actual character, but I don't think anybody would quite warm up to him. <br /><br />4#: I have kind of a theory that Garin might've been labbed at some point in time, but I'm not sure. I'm just basing that off of her name. XD<br /><br />5#: Okay, confession time: I sincerly apologize to anybody who ever first roleplayed with me and Garin, because I COULD NOT DO EVIL. Seriuosly, I just...fail at evil. So, eventually it morphed into what it is today (again): she keeps a 'tough','don't mess with me punk' exterior and lets her past attempts at evil set a reputation, but that's just to keep people away. Why? In case she ever needs to let go of them, as in, her dad shows up again and she has to leave to make sure nobody gets hurt. However, if you try to break this wall, she'll only push back stronger and harder - she has to let it down herself to let anybody in.<br /><br /><br />NATALIE, I CHOOSE YOU!!!! >< <a href="http://pokeballplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/o/pokeballplz.gif" alt=":iconpokeballplz:" title="pokeballplz"/></a><a href="http://natticat8.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/n/a/natticat8.gif?6" alt=":iconnatticat8:" title="natticat8"/></a><br /><br /><br />WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE CLUB FIELD TRIP TOMORROW I'VE GOTTA GO TO SLEEP AT 6 BUT I'M SOOO EXCITED <a href="http://excitedplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/e/x/excitedplz.gif" alt=":iconexcitedplz:" title="excitedplz"/></a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay! Since I've been ignoring you guys for soooo long, here's a very very VERY summarized list of my life recently:<br /><br />1) I got some fishes called Glo-Fish that look like this: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.sawse.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/glofish.jpg">[link]</a> . Of course this isn't actually them, but it's close enough. GloFish are extra special in the fact that they are genetically mutated - as in, made in a lab. Scientists took normal Zebrafish and spliced Coral and Jellyfish DNA onto theirs to make them have a neon effect, and they are totally AWESOME. Not only that, they glow under a blacklight! They also recieved a tank-cleaner named Speedster who is a golden mystery snail. (<a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1137/531117268_19c85ae888.jpg?v=0">[link]</a>) who is also awesome and likes food. :3<br /><br />2) I went to a band concert recently AND WAS TOTALLY AMAZED. Band ROCKS! I LOVE listening to Dr. Rockenstein! I even recorded it! (On my cellphone, but whatever...) Not only that, but about five of my friends got awards! Kelsey, Gurden, Caitlyn, and Morgan aren't on DA, but <a href="http://natticat8.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/n/a/natticat8.gif?6" alt=":iconnatticat8:" title="natticat8"/></a> got a leadership award, so go congratulate her on not making a ruckus in band! 8D<br /><br />3) As some of you may know, my great-Aunt Pat died...but I'm not going to dwell on that in this journal.<br /><br />4) I have begun guitar lessons, and totally suck, but am making progress. Sadly, I can never be in Jazz Band, even though I REALLY wanted to by 9th grade; apparently you have to have a year of band first, which I don't have. ;( Sigh.<br /><br />5) I am working on/finished about 5 projects for English in the past two weeks.<br /><br />6) I am more than likely not make Algebra next year, and that saddens me. ):<br /><br />7) I am trying desperately to get inspiration for a reply to me and Christine's roleplay, and for Amy's prize STILL, but I totally have NOTHING as of yet. <br /><br />8) Will do quizes soon, if you guys remind me which ones I've been tagged....<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br /><br />9) I NEED TO HAVE AT LEAST FIVE MORE DEVIATIONS IN MY WATCH LIST BEFORE MAY 1ST. D: YOU'LL SEE WHY. PLEASE HELP ME OUT IF I'M WATCHING YOU. ><<br /><br />10) I was up cleaning the cemetery today when Jack found this little guy: <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e88/mnrunited/IMG_0036.jpg">[link]</a> or <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e88/mnrunited/IMG_0032.jpg">[link]</a> or <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e88/mnrunited/IMG_0065.jpg.">[link]</a> I'm putting him in the creek soon. His name is Steve. I will more than likely also put up a deviation. <br /><br /><br />I've been so stressed recently, I'm really sorry I can't talk to you guys more. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> If I forgot anything, I'll edit later...bye! ><<br /><br />AND. PLEASE. DEVIATIONS. D:<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Besides all the school stuff, which has been really most of it, one thing that will more than likely not happen to most people in their lifetime happened to me.<br /><br />My sister came home.<br /><br />Not cool enough for you? Okay, try this one on for size:<br /><br />I didn't know her until about a year ago. <br /><br />and she's 23 now.<br /><br />Yeah. Apparently, my mom had a kid when she was younger. She was too young to keep it, so she had to put the baby up for adoption...about a year ago, I was google searching my mom's name, when it came up on an adoption certificate thing, and she finally told me that I had a half-sister. Then, about two months ago, Megan found the same certificate and called up my mom.<br /><br />She's called Megan, but her official name is (get this) Mary, from her other family. How weird is that? Also, she's a teacher - and looks exactly like my mom. I didn't know she was coming to meet us until about three weeks ago - so, sorry for dissapearing. I was kind of overwhelmed for a little while, with school, and normal middle school drama stuff, and now that.<br /><br />Megan doesn't feel at all like my sister. She feels more like...a cousin. Or an old friend of my mom. Like, I know I'm supposed to know her, but she's just...not my sister. Maybe she will be someday, but most definetly, not now. <br /><br />It's just crazy. Crazy.<br /><br />I don't know how to describe all this...it's like, part of your world tipping sideways. <br /><br />I still only have one brother and sister. To me. They were here to laugh with me, stuff like that. Megan's just a stranger.<br /><br />But she's my half sister, and I'm almost afraid to get to know her.<br /><br />It's just so weird. I can't wrap my head around it.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ RULES!<br />1: Pick a few people (My suggestion is five, but feel free to do any number you choose)<br />2: Have them answer the following questions.<br />** Feel free to let the characters interact with each other, as well as to the question, if you want<br />3. Tag some peoples and spread the tortuÂer, love.<br /><br />I pick the following!<br /><br />1. Garin<br />2. Zelemay<br />3. uh...er...-deepthought- Hiss? D: Well, that'll be boring....<br />4. .....Y'KNOW WHAT? WE'RE BRINGING IN THE BLIZZ.<br /><br /><br /><br />1. Okay, who are you?<br /><br />1. Someone who's wondering why they're put through this every year...OW...Garin.<br />2. -puts away pointy pencil- My name is Zelemay. <3<br />3. .....Hiss....<br />4. THE NAME'S BLIZZ. 8D I've been in many performances, whadda ya mean you've never heard of me...?<br /><br /><br />2. So, considering that ValentineÂs day is coming upÂ Who do you liiiiike? (Or, if you have a boyfriend/girlfriend, who are they?)<br /><br />1. OKAY, LOOK, WHATEVER THE HECK MARY AND CHRISTINE SAY, THERE IS NOTHING GOING ON BETWEEN ME AND HIM FOR THE LAST TIME!!! D<<br />2. ...-steps away from the paranoid one- o.o;; Uh...y'know, a few celebrities, the usual. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/g/giggle.gif" width="17" height="15" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle" /><br />3. .... uh...Mr. Darcy?<br />4. Sakura. <3<br /><br /><br />3. Well, that wasÂ interestingÂ anything youÂre gonna do for them?<br /><br />1. Insulting them would be a nice start, and perhaps a casual gorging of the guts would be a good follow-up...<br />2. They're famous, I can't do much....but I'm making cookies for Chester's class! 8D<br />3. ....er, reread their book?<br />4. A good tap-dancing performance, and maybe even not eating anyone's socks for a day would be a good start...even IF D lunch is so darn far AWAY~<br /><br />4. Have you ever had a secret admirer?<br /><br />1. sadly...<br />2. -sigh- I wish.<br />3. I highly doubt anyone even knows Mary has a fourth pet, let alone admires me. D:<br />4. ...next question...<br /><br /><br />5. That reminds me: does someone like YOU? [That you know about?]<br /><br />1. AGAIN, I DENY EVERYTHING!!!<br />2. and again, I wish. D:<br />3. and again, I live amonst fictional book characters...<br />4. and...not again, but it seemed right to say....Sakura, hopefully. I'll be a sad little puppy if she doesn't. ;;<br /><br /><br />6. HmmÂ Ooh! I know! Were you dating anyone last Valentines?<br /><br />1. Unless getting squid guts dumped over your head and getting arrested counts as a date, then no. and even if so, still no.<br />2. I was kind of busy last Valentine's day...<br />3. Last Valentine's day, I was three. I don't think so.<br />4. ...you do know I'm the father of four puppies, right?<br /><br /><br />7. So, tell me: flowers or candy?<br /><br />1. Not this question again...I still don't have an answer. DX<br />2. Flowers are pretty~<br />3. I generally don't have much use for either, but I suppose candy.<br />4. OH MY GOSH CANDY YOU HAVE CANDY I WANT CANDY CANDY IS LIKE GAS IS FOR A CAR TO ME BY THE WAY WHAT'S A CAR ANYWAY OH MY GOSH I WANT CANDY?!?<br /><br /><br />8. Okay, so, as mentioned, Valentines Day is coming up. How do you usually feel on Feb. 14?<br /><br />1. If SOMEONE would just let me lock myself up in my room in peace...<br />2. -sticks tongue out at Garin- You know Bullseye would probably break in your window. Anyway, I really love Valentine's...AUUUUGH! -gets mauled by a white squirrel thing-<br />3. I never really notice it. I mean, if I remember, I wish somebody a happy one and maybe read a book with love involved, but otherwise...<br />4. Happy about where I am. <3<br /><br /><br />8. Has anyone ever dumped you on ValentineÂs day?<br /><br />1. Never been with anyone.<br />2. Nope, not yet...man, that would SUCK. D:<br />3. Like Garin, never been with anyone...<br />4. I found Sakura, and everything was perfect after that, so, no...<br /><br /><br />9. How do you feel about roses?<br /><br />1. They're...interesting. Kind of cool, personally...<br />2. I prefer tulips! 8D<br />3. They make a good metaphor for love.<br />4. They scratch your mouth...D:<br /><br /><br /><br />10. Anyone I should tag before I end the questionare?<br /><br />1. Whatever you do, don't tag...MMPH!<br />2. -grabs Garin's mouth- Christine, perhaps, if she finds the time. ^^<br />3. ...that guy...?<br />4. Nightstar and Ohzu and all them, maybe?<br /><br />well, you heard it here first, guys. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> CHRISTINE AND NATTI, YOU'RE UP!!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I LOVE THIS QUIZ. I REALLY DO. <3<br /><br />1. Post these rules.<br />2. Each tagged person must post 8 things about their self on their journal.<br />3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 people and post their icons on the same journal.<br />4. Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them.<br />5. No tag-backs.<br /><br />1. There was an acorn, in my back corner of my closet, in a jar, in one of my remaining penguin socks, behind a bunch of books, that I saved only due to the fact I saw a faint root poking out of it and thought it deserved to live. I had it hidden for five months straight, and before I told you guys, only two people knew about it.<br /><br />2. I have very frequent nosebleeds. and they always drip. and people have begun to know me as 'Bloody Mary' and 'that girl with the nosebleeds.'<br /><br />3. Honest to goodness, me and my dad always walk around at home with only ONE sock on. See, if I have on both, my feet are too hot. and with neither, they're too cold, so...<br /><br />4. I've recently realized I act so much at school, nobody believes me when I tell them I'm just acting.<br /><br />5. For the longest time, all I've wanted is just one thing I could do people thought was cool. Like juggle. or play a single instrutment. or sing really well, or even paint...but I really don't have anything.<br /><br />6. I recently had to throw away my reebop (what: <a href="http://www.basd.net/technology/STEEP/Science/Biology/ActivityinMeiosis.htm">[link]</a> pic: <a href="http://bryan.fhsd.k12.mo.us/hspies/reebop%202006.jpg">[link]</a>) that lived in my locker since october.<br /><br />7. I accidentally stole Jimmy's planner, since I didn't know what was his and mine on the floor between our lockers, and he WILL kill me tomorrow.<br /><br />8. Blizz is a character I made up that is a wolf, is scarred bloody in one eye, likes to eat socks and tap dance, and is freakin' awesome.<br /><br /><br />WHEEEEEE I HAVE TO DO MY HOMEWORK NOW~<br /><br />not whee.

Whee! <br /><br />Hope everyone has a magical year this year. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> To all those I can't hug properly, INTERNET GLOMP! X3<br /><br />My first offical act of 2009: Listen to 'Ocean Avenue' by Yellowcard. I'm getting good vibes for this year, oh yes I am. <br /><br />Also, I discovered I will never be an alcoholic. 8D;; I can't even handle sparkling grape juice. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> Just can't. <br /><br />Hahaha...me and my friend played Rock Band until 11:57, and before that we did random stuff to keep up us occupied. We DO NOT like Sparkling Grape Juice. No sir. She's talking to her friend right now on the phone...<br /><br />Happy New year, Everyone. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My computers been Trojan'd. D: I don't know how it happened, but I kept coming back to my computer and I thought somebody'd messed with it, because it would say stuff like "Program unable to be downloaded" and "Are you sure you want to remove Toolbar?"<br /><br />Then I did a virus check and found out I had 10 TROJANS virussing up my computer. My dad says he can maybe fix it, but it'll take a while, and until then, all the stories I'd been working on are dead to me unless I can figure something out.<br /><br />Um. Christmas was great. I got a DS, a therapy bank [Don't inquire.], hedgehog socks!!!,....just tons o cool stuff. ^3^<br /><br />I know there's totally something I should be doing Neopets/dA-wise but I can't remember. ><<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm wondering if anybody could help me with my stories. I've just got two, and I'm wondering if somebody could proofread them when I'm done and tell what they like, what they don't like, what they'd fix, etc. etc. The first one is just a regular short story, but the second is a series, and I would have the person proofread one part at a time. Niether of these stories are completed yet; I'm just wondering if somebody could help me when they ARE completed. Also: They're both stories based around Neopets, so if you don't like Neopets or don't know it, it might be a bit difficult for you.<br /><br />Merry Christmas Adam, everyone~<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, first of all, WHOEVER TURNED THE TEMPATURE IN ALABAMA DOWN TO A BAZILLION DEGREES BELOW ZERO WHILE I WAS GONE PLEASE FIX IT K THANXÂ<br /><br />Yeah, IÂm back from family festivities. My grandmaÂs house was crazy the second day, but calm the first, so we went Christmas shopping (I admit it; IÂm one of the those people who never do anything about Christmas until a couple of days before.)<br />The second day, everyone came over and opened presents, etc. etc, ateÂ<br />I hung out with my cousins for a long time, played hide and seek, the traditional classicsÂthen I went over to my aunt BrookeÂs house and played with Reese, a seven-year-old with a mean karate kick, and Trey, this innocent little three-year-old bouncing ball of excitement.<br /><br />So, hereÂs in all what I got for Christmas thus far:<br /><br />-A gift card to Hobby Lobby<br />-Socks (No, seriously. TheyÂre comfy, though, if idiot-proof.)<br />-A two dollar bill (SWEETNESS! WhyÂd you let those go out of circulation?!)<br />-A McDonaldÂs gift card (ÂI have no idea WHEN IÂm going to use this.)<br />-Fifty dollars, which I feel really guilty about, because thirty of that came from my Aunt Brooke, whom also got me fifteen dollars at McDonaldÂs, and I was too late in coming up with words to thank you and she guessedÂso, she gave my cards to my brother, the endless black hole stomach of a teenager, and gave me thirty dollars instead, since Rob now had thirtyÂ.<br />- Then, the most interesting of them all. This is how it went:<br /><br />Me: -watching TV-<br /><br />Trey: -comes in and hands me something very hard and rectangle shaped, covered in Toilet paper and tape, with sharpie all over it in messy handwriting and a little gold bow- Here!<br /><br />Me: ÂWhy, thank you, Trey. Âflips it over- What is this?<br /><br />Trey: I got it from LuigiÂs Mansion, and covered it in tissue paper with a pretty bow! CanÂt you read it? &#150<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" />oints to sharpie writing- It says ÂLuigiÂs MansionÂÂ<br /><br />Me: Oh! Oh, I see, right. WellÂcan I open it?<br /><br />Trey: Yes! ItÂs for you! From Luigi!<br /><br />Me: Right, naturally, if itÂs from his mansionÂ-begins to rip open toilet paper-<br /><br />Trey: YOUÂRE DOING IT WRONG, here let me help youÂ-also begins ripping-<br /><br />Present: -now unwrapped, reveals to be a small plank of wood covered in black crayon with some red-<br /><br />Me: Â.<br /><br />Trey: 8D<br /><br />Me: Wow, THANK YOU, Trey! This is the best gift IÂve gotten for Christmas yet this year, wow! Thank you so much!...what exactly is it again?<br /><br />Trey: -begins babbling away in three-year-old language- Âand it shows you the house!<br /><br />I think it was intended to be one of those signs that points you around the racetrack in those Mario Cart games. XD;;;Âfor the record, he took it back later, saying it was for his car.<br /><br />OH YEAH!!! OH YEAH OH YEAH OH YEAH! Guys, IÂve updated my story! But IÂm too nervous to post it in the NAM chatboard! Cuz IÂm failure! 8D;;Âand also, I think IÂve come up with a rough plotline for my next story. X3 From a dream. ItÂll be epic, but itÂs really rough right nowÂ8D;;<br /><br />And nowÂa QUIZ! X3<br /><br />-----<br /><br />CIRCLE ONE: THE OUTSIDE<br />1. What's your name: I do believe it be Mary.<br />2. How tall are you: About 5Â1. (HAD TO USE A TAPE MEASURE, BUT I FIGURED IT OUT!)<br />3. What color are your eyes: YÂknow, everyone I ask gives me a different answer. D: Some days they look brown, some days they look green, some days hazel, but they ALWAYS have a LOT of gold flecks in them<br />4. What color is your hair: Brown~<br />5. Are you Male or Female: IÂm a chick~<br />6. What is your best feature (physically): IDKÂo.o;;; My eyes? D:<br />7. What's your shoe size: ÂWHEREÂDIPUTTHOSESHOES?! Ah-ha! An 8. <br />8. Glasses, yes or no: Contacts, my friend, contacts.<br />9. Did you ever have braces: No<br />10.

When you go to bed you're wearing: Winter: Either my Cloud PJÂs, or my sheep PJ bottoms with a white shirt and my UAB sweatshirt over it. Summer: Shorts and a white T-Shirt. XD<br />12.

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>Q:</b> Okay, well first of all, have you heard of Stevie Wonder? Because he's like one of the awesomest musicians EVER in my opinion, so if not, go listen:<br /><br />[link]<br /><br /><b>A:</b> UmÂIÂm not very partial to him. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> IÂve never been a big fan of that type of music. 8D;;<br /><br /><b>Q:</b> SECOND QUESTION...Do you have any pets?<br /><br /><b>A:</b> YES. Okay, letÂs see, I have Tucker, a cat, and this big olÂ fat blob of loyalty and loveÂGracie, an old wiry codger of a cat who demands certain times to be pettedÂand Skitty, this skittish, purring mess of a kitty. (Tucker looked like <a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/721/649/1600/lilkitty3.jpg">[link]</a> when he was a LITTLE TINY kitten, now he looks more like <a href="http://fencepostings.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/img_0228.jpg">[link]</a><br />This is Skitty: <a href="http://fencepostings.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/snoozing-skit.jpg,">[link]</a> and I couldnÂt find a picture of Gracie, but she mostly looks like <a href="http://orca.st.usm.edu/~miller/GrayCat.jpg">[link]</a> this, though not exactly.<br /><br />Of course, none of those count my brother or sister [Though me and my brother have come to the conclusion my dad loves Skitty equal, if not more so, to us XDDD], dead pets, or my imaginary cat named StanÂ<br /><br /><b>Q:</b> Do you play a musical instrument?<br /><br /><b>A:</b> Ha!!! I wish. Ever since the beginning of school IÂve deeply, DEEPLY regretted not joining band. Everybody else I know joined band, and I found out IÂm more than likely going to be the only person in my elective class next block. I do believe I wrote a story about it and sent it to my friendsÂah, here it is:<br /><br /><i>Which means I'll be the only one IN my class...and with my luck, they'll probably cancel my class because of that, and I'll be transferred to the class nobody knew about or worse, EVERYONE knew about EXCEPT for me and didn't sign up for and it'll be called 'Cleaning the Band's Spit Valves' and I'll have to clean the band's spit valves with a toothbrush and then one day, I'll be in there cleaning when suddenly, out of NOWHERE, everyone will turn into zombies, grab their instruments, and try to kill me. But it won't work, and all it'll do is give me extreme brain damage, to the point I'm mute and can't operate my pencil or a keyboard correctly, so I'll fail all of my classes. and then I'll be sitting in the back of the graduating class in ninth grade, and everybody will graduate and toss their caps with the fuzzy pompom things RIGHT AT ME and I'll graduate only eight years later, and by then everyone will of left (hometown) and I'll be in a deserted city. <br />So I'll move to New York, only I'll only be able to get a job as an ORCHESTRA spit valve cleaner/instrument shiner where EVERYBODY is the same zombie-people as in seventh/eighth/ninth grade and will all be married and have 2.5 kids, and a happy zombie household, but ME? No, the non-zombie-spit-valve-cleaner-slash-shiner will be forced to live under the Saxophone, Second Chair, third row seat at night and will have too many instruments to clean at day and therefore will have to no life, and will eventually attempt suicide but instead breaks both my legs, making me unable to run and then, THREE SECONDS AFTER I TRY TO COMMIT SUICIDE a mugger comes and because I can't say "No, I don't have any stinking money, I'm a spit valve cleaner!!!" AND I can't run and OF COURSE I STILL DON'T HAVE A CELL PHONE, they'll stab me and throw me into a frozen pond, and I'll die an unmarried, non-zombie, retarded spit valve cleaner that's now frozen AND stabbed.<br /> <br />All this...because I didn't get anyone else in my class.</i><br /><br /><b>Q:</b> Converse or vans or neither?<br /><br /><b>A:</b> IÂve always had a soft spot for vans. Also for fedora hats. Bonus points if theyÂre on a guy.<br /><br /><b>Q:</b> Are you athletic? (You probably are, since you rock at boogie boarding. I think. Okay, do you rock at boogie boarding? But dude you'd probably pass me waay up. I fail at all sports except riding and volleyball. But you probably are like, Olympically awesome.)<br /><br /><b>A:</b> HA! And may I repeatÂHA!!! IÂm not very good, even though I love sports a lot. VolleyballÂs my favorite, but I suckÂalthough, yes, IÂm pretty good at boogyboarding if I do say so myself.<br /><br /><b>Q:</b> If you could start your own band, what would name it?<br /><br /><b>A:</b> Last year, I made a list of band names, but one band I always thought would be a good name for would be ÂSuicidal RemarkÂ. <br /><br /><b>Q:</b> What is your least favorite vegetable?<br /><br /><b>A:</b> OH GOD, SQUASH. I literally threw it back up onto my plate one time. My throat REJECTED it.<br /><br /><b>Q:</b> Who is the most gorgeous male movie star in your opinion?<br /><br /><b... ]]></description>

Anyway, it's where you ask people to ask you anything, absoloutly ANYTHING. Then, later, you make a journal with all the questions and answers.

I have...everything from the time I entered SIXTH grade.<br /><br />Weeeeird....<br /><br />I just can't believe it's less than ten days till Christmas. I still haven't done my christmas shopping. >3<;;<br /><br />and I'm not sure what to ask for this year. D: This was my original list, along with the problems my parents posed with it:<br /><br />A) A new computer chair, since mine's back snapped off - we had a spare one.<br />B) A nintendo DS - they said a new version was coming out in spring, and wouldn't I rather wait 'till then?<br />C) Scrubs, all seasons - they said they could get that and burn it onto discs, so it didn't count.<br /><br />I'm just not sure what to ask for anymore. o.o;;; Suggestions?<br /><br />Random christmas fact about Mary: Her favorite christmas song is 'Carol of the Bells'. :3<br /><br />Okay. Anyway. Just here to inform you about me. XD Don't gorget to ask questions puh-leeez~!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

XD<br /><br />and today was insane too. Mostly I've been grabbing Allison and Micheal, both under the age of four, and keeping them entertained and from killing themselves. Oh, and making videos of what people are thankful for. <br /><br />By the way, Christine, I was watching the Macy's Day parade and everytime I saw that broadway Lion King ad in the background I thought of you.

NOVEMBER HAS NO MEANING ANYMORE. CANCEL THE PARADES. CANCEL THE PLAYS. CANCEL THE TURKEYS! NOVEMBER IS POINTLESSSSSS!<br /><br /><br />Hahaha...I'm so excited about Twilight, and found that wildly amusing. XD <br /><br />OKAY. LESS THAN A WEEK AND I CAN'T HOLD IT IN ANYMORE! TWIIIILIGHT!<br /><br />Ohmanohmanohman. Do you think anyone ever though Twilight would be as big as it is? What do you think it is that pulls you, fellow Twi-fans?<br /><br />I can't imagine what it must be like for Stephenie Meyer. I have plenty of dreams that evolve into storylines, but hers became everything. It became music, it became a movie, it became a huge pop culture icon! <br /><br />One reason I'm extremely hyped up RIGHT NOW is that I just downloaded the free movie clip off of I-Tunes. GRAH, THE APPLE SCENE JUST SNAPPED WITH ME. How many times have I seen one of my friends trying to swallow back a grin with that EXACT facial expression? Man, Robert Pattinson is FANTASTIC at facial expressions. <br /><br />Another reason is that my mom got two tickets to go see Twilight on Friday! I even got a free I-Tunes download with it. 8K The only problem is that now I've got to pick only ONE of my friends...! It's going to be so difficult, man.<br /><br />JEEZ, I COULD JUST GO ON AND ON. But I plan on wearing every one of my twilight shirts this week! Yes, all three of them! AMAZING.<br /><br />I ALSO DISCOVERED A LIST OF TWELVE INSPIRATIONS FOR STEPHENIE MEYER. Here it is, if you want to see it: <a href="http://twilightersanonymous.com/ENTERTAINMENT-WEEKLY-TWELVE-STEPHENIE-MEYER-TWILIGHT-INSPIRATIONS.HTML">[link]</a><br /><br />Yayyyy, Linkin Park's on there! Did any of you know that was Bella's CD in the first book? The one she used to block thought? Huh, didja? DIDJA?<br /><br />Oh my god, I'm so wound up about this. I need to settle down. <br /><br />Other news:<br /><br />I went ice-skating today. Alone. With my youth group, but with nobody I knew.<br /><br />Slept<br />Did Homework<br /><br />NOTHING GREAT AND WONDERFUL OVER HERE.<br />I'll talk to you guys later, gotta go calm down!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ (For election day stuff, see bottom of journal.)<br /><br />So. I'm still alive. All's good. Nothing of great interest to you guys has happened.<br /><br />Oh, well, I won't be here this week-end.<br /><br />and I'm pretty sure the NAM scavenger hunt is canceled, by my own fault. I didn't promote it enough. The deadline for the entries ended...almost two weeks ago. I've been pretty much dead to you guys. My fault. My fault. I'm just kind of a mess right now. No particular reason, just seems like everything that can go wrong is going wrong.<br /><br />But, hey, I'm being hyocritical. Everybody's got their problems that seem huge to them, and everybody else's is miniscule, but quite the opposite. Everybody's pretty much the same; everybody else just doesn't faze them. <br /><br />Anyway, good luck with life to all of you. I can't seem to get myself to write anything. Anything worth reading, and what I do write feels not good enough to put up.<br /><br />On with reality.<br /><br />_POLTICAL STUFF FROM HERE ON OUT_<br />So. Today's Election Day. <br /><br />Does it hit anybody else here how historic this election is? We had our options: A woman, a white man, or the first African-American.<br /><br />We narrowed it down, and for that I'm glad, becuase personally I've got a lot of problems with Hillary Clinton that I won't bore you with. I'm personally going for McCain, for mostly religous reasons. <br /><br />However, I've heard many great things Obama can do for this country. So many people believe him and stand behind him, I can't doubt that if he's elected, something will change. All the kids at my school rag down on Obama, but I'm borderline. I know something will happen either way we go, and here we go, America. Pick a path. Pick a side.<br /><br />Cause here we go.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ...and I think I just got a small portion of what was left over from this year out of my system. XD<br /><br />Mia came over to drop off some stuff, and her little sister and brother came too....<br /><br />OH MAN. THEY ARE CRAZY WILD CHILDREN.<br /><br />They pull up your shirt, they run around your house - which, for the record, they weren't even INVITED into - they announce the color of your undergarments and which undergarments they ARE, they hit your butt, they whack you with big pool noodles, they scream SUPER LOUDLY, they just keep going and going and going -<br /><br />yet I put on a big smile and pretty much occupied them as Mia and her mom chatted with mine. and they still looked pretty happy as they left. <br /><br />If that doesn't prove to my mom I'll be one heck of a babysitter, I don't know what will. <br /><br />I mean, who LETS their KIDS do that?! I don't know about you, but when I was growing up, I was taught some rooms you can't go into, and some rooms you do. You DON'T run around people's upstairs, looking for cats!<br /><br />There's also such a thing as PERSONAL SPACE. I...I'm not even getting into that. People should KNOW THAT you don't pull a girl's shirt up when she's not looking and announce the color of what she's wearing underneath. Okay, you just DON'T. <br /><br />Uuuugh. I'm not sure if I'm ever going to invite Mia to my house again; she might bring her siblings. Not only that, since I was trying to roll with it with a strained smile on my face, Mia probably thinks I ENJOYED that. <br /><br />Graaah....and before any of you give me any of that "I would've just told/did/kicked/whatever-", they don't listen to that. It just ENCOURAGES them. If I'd run upstairs to my room, they would've followed. Their mother doesn't even notice stuff like that...<br /><br />Man. What a way to end a year.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ my computer is. D:<br /><br />Seriuosly, I came home from school and it wouldn't turn on. The computer was whirrin', the speakers were glowin', but the monitor...pffft.<br /><br />So I'm using my mom's computer right now. It's all fine and dandy, except the speakers don't work. Which means no music. and my i-pod was wiped out the day before the comp died, so no music there, either. I'm dying.<br /><br />But oh well.<br /><br />Lessee here...life's good. Got a lock-in tomorrow, then the Friday after that is my birthday. As anybody who watched my videos knows, it kind of snuck up on me. My party's gonna be epic, though, I couldn't decide on a theme so it's "Mary". :3 There'll be trivia about either Warriors, Twilight, or Me, and we're going to splatter T-shirts and hopefully have a clothes race (long story) and life just kinda rocks. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />'Kay, well, than. Gonna split. Now much of an update but...my creativity has been at an alltime low this past month. I'm just kinda wiped.<br /><br />Talk to ya guys later...<br /><br /><b>Edit</b>: Is it possible to catch Bi-Polar?<br /><br />Becuase it'll be like, one minute I'll be these:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF5qiGpcfGE&feature=related">[link]</a> (Ignore video)<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVRz-Sou3oQ">[link]</a><br /><br />and the next my head is spinning with:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ld3X7_pB798">[link]</a><br /><br />and I just don't get it. It's been going on for at least a couple of weeks, and I just don't get it. Is Bipolar able to be like, caught? Or developed? Or am I just being a freak? XD<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This has to of been the longest time I've gone without making a journal. Wow.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm not dead. ^^ Just busy. The last week was hectic.<br /><br />On Monday, I did nothing. Just wait.<br /><br />On Tuesday, I bridged to Cadettes in GS! ^^ It was great, now I have a spiffy khaki sash instead of a bright green vest that I had outgrown anyway. ^^<br /><br />On Wednesday, IT WAS SO FREAKIN' CHAOTIC.<br />They announced Ren. Club was canceled over the intercom, and then I got on the bus and Anya, who isn't even IN the club, said they were meeting, and I trusted her, so I went and lo and behold we were. I was like "What the heck?!" but oh well, let's just all mess with my head.<br /><br />Then I went to this coffeehouse thing where I lost war again, and some guy said I was like (from Breakfast Club) the rebel, the girl who spread pixie dust all over her sandwich, and the guy who tried to commit suicide with a flare gun all mixed together. It was...lovely. (Although, he had a british accent, so it was hard to tell if he was just teasing. British accents make everything sound better.)<br /><br />On Thursday, I went to the football game. There was a lot, but here are the highlights, good and bad;<br />I made enemies with half the people in the stands because I laugh too loud.<br />I discovered two of my friends are apparently going out, which wouldn't be so bad if A) They weren't my friends so it's kinda hard to look at them together like that. and B) It's the same guy everybody's been thinking was MY....boyfriend not two weeks ago, and it hasn't quite blown over yet, so now I have to try harder to get everyone to believe me by pointing them out, and then they get irritated.<br />annnnnd I saw the guy who's in the locker next to mine get pants'd. I'm not getting into that.<br /><br />On Friday...I got out of my math test becuase I was in the nurses office for a bloody nose for over thirty minutes, trying to get it to stop. <br />and it was my fault my group got a 70 in Lang. Arts, because we had nothing together. and since I put the stupid poem together, and I brought in the props, and I made up the actions, there's really no one else to blame. I mean, we had two football players who had a game to get ready for, a physcotic boy who is just insane, and....well, Gurden was okay, I suppose he could've done something. But he was the narrator, so whatever he came up with WE would have to do, and....just, ugh.<br />I have to rap next week, so I'm practicing. Long story.<br /><br />I also had to go to a sleepover, where I discovered a new game to put on my birthday list(Which is, holy crap, 19 days away. Where does the time go?) : My Sims for the wii. It's SO FUN!<br /><br />and on Saturday, the unmentionable happened. I cannot speak of it. All I'm saying is that it involved a dirty, men's bathroom at a rundown gas station and not clearly marked, genderwise, bathrooms.<br />Ughhhhhhhhhhh...If I die of some disease, somebody pass a law for cleaner bathrooms.<br /><br />and now I'm in Florida with my cousins and aunt and uncle, typing my week out to you. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />Okay. I'm almost finished, I'm hoping to get Inkdeath soon. I'm so excited.<br /><br />Holy crap, this is so long.<br /><br />Alright....there's some other stuff that I'll mention later. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> Bye guys.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So this week has been school spirit week, ch'yeah? and It was AWESOME, with PJ Day, Dork Day, School Spirit Day, Jersey day... <br /><br />ALL LEADING UP TO THE BIG GAME AND PEP RALLY!<br /><br />Dude, the Pep Rally. Was. ROCKIN'. There was a bunch of screaming and stomping and jumping and clapping and singing...and this really funny impersonation of a cheer from our rival school, WHO WAS IN CLASS AT THAT POINT IN TIME. The cheer coach pretended to get everyone quiet, picked up his cellphone, listened to it, nodded, hung up and said, "Hey, Guys, That's Mrs. ____ from (rivalschool.) She asked to keep the noise down because they're in class. Whadda we say to that?" and everybody went INSANE. It was Crazy. My first pep rally. X3 I wasn't as crazy as I would've been, since I had a bunch of people who didn't know my rep yet, but I gave up eventually. <br /><br />AND THEN THE GAME! OHHH MAAAAAAN!<br /><br />So TONS of my peeps were there. I can't believe I just said that. Do you see how hyper I am??? Anyway, tons of my FRIENDS were there, and the seventh graders KILLED the other team, and I got kicked off of a bench A KABILLION TIMES. Seriuosly. XD NO RESPECT. Psh. Anyway, I was laughing and actually managed to keep the sugary candy to a minimum. XD <br /><br />AND I DISCOVERED JUST HOW HUGGABLE BEN IS. 8D He came out into the bleachers (He's a player) and I was so excited we won I just went up and hugged him. XD It wasn't awkward, either. He doesn't care, anyway. I hugged him, like, five times and then he started hugging back and I freaked out. XD Everybody's saying stuff now but we REALLY don't care. At all. He's just a friend. XD <br /><br />Besides, a book we read for class said, "If I were to rule the world, everybody would have to have a minimun of six hugs a day." WHICH I BELIEVE IN NOW. At first it sounded stupid, but man, you find somebody as huggable as that kid and...just, dude. DO IT. XD<br /><br />BUT, OKAY. I NEED TO SLEEP.<br /><br />This is my schedule for the next few days:<br /><br />After school tomorrow, I have a lock-in, which I will NOT be able to sleep at because we're going to be at a bowling alley until atleast TWO. That's AM, people.<br />Then, the next day, I have to go to Oktober Fest with my friends, then my parents scheduled something that night so I might have to be up until 11.<br />The next day, Sunday School and MAYBE yOUTH gROUP.<br /><br />Sleep.<br /><br />XD<br /><br />MAN! I cannot get over the fact how huggable Ben is. All these years of knowing him, I never guessed. XD It would just be one of us would say "Again?" and the other person would say "Yeah!" and we'd hug. XD<br /><br />Although he did get the new name 'Ladies' Man'. Which might be a problem. But pleh.<br /><br />I'm tired. XD I have to get a shower to get the sweat and pawprint tattoo off my face. G'night. XD<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>Officially, I'm going to have this up on my page until somebody has gotten my 5000th kiriban. (Dang)<br /><br />If you achieve it, you get anything you want. (A story, picture, poet, whatever.) Although, I do retain the right to refuse, but that's only if I don't know you. Otherwise, I pretty much trust you.<br /><br />(Phweee! Only about 50 left! Holy Macadeamia Nut! 8D</b><br /><br />and my story is updated. 8D The pirates one? Yey!<br /><br />Charlie is getting an earful about this from Kate soon, just you wait, nehehe. X3<br /><br />ALTHOUGH I MADE CHARLIE SOUND LIKE A GIRL IN ONE SENTENCE AND I AM NOT HAPPY 'BOUT THAT.<br /><br />But oh well. >3< Enjoy! More soon.<br /><br />Bye!<br /><br /><b>Edit2</b>: HAHAHA! Okay, so I'm going to this lock-in murder mystery thing, right? and we have characters to play!<br /><br />AND I GET TO BE A HERO/MOVIE ACTOR NAMED DIRSHA WHO SAVED HER VILLAGE AS A TEENAGER AND IS NOW MAKING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN MOVIES PLAYING THE HERO.<br /><br />IT. IS. SO. AWESOME.<br /><br />Not only that, I'm making up a last name. X3 I thought about 'awesome', but...no. Something SPECTACULAR. Everybody else got names like (actual examples here, people.) Alberta Martini, or (REALLY) Cozy Lovelovelove.<br /><br />I also get to elaborate on the character as much as I want, and I have a sidekick who happens to be my best friend in actual life, and she's ticked off about that but WHATEVER! We decided she got to do magic. XD So there.<br /><br />AND THIS IS JUST GOING TO BE SO AWESOME!!!!<br /><br />I'm thinking about over-dramatizing it. Since I'm an actress too. ^^<br /><br />BUT MANNN I CANNOT WAIT FOR FRIIIIDAAAAY!<br /><br /><b>Edit3</b>: Ew.<br /><br />My sister just convinced me to watch 'The Office'. She HAD to pick the one where they do the fun run...<br /><br />Not my type of show. At all. :/ It's just..ugh. I don't like it at all. -shudder-<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Boing!" />_____-_<b>Life</b>_-______________<br /><br />It's...good. All's normal. Nothing great. I have a choice between a story, three poems, or a music video for Girl Scouts (Such a hard choice) and school has been actually pretty fun. We've already had a mystery (Long story; bad, cruel prank...) and it's just been interested.<br /><br />I'm just making this journal purely for life updates. I treat this journal like my actual one, like, if I were to actually have one...<br /><br />In other news, my dream journal is almost filled up. :0 It's amazing. I counted, and I have had, since May 22, roughly (Sometimes I was too lazy to write them down)....27 dreams. Not counting when I put two or three dreams under one date. That'd take forever to count.<br /><br />So yeah, life's pretty good. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/thumbsup.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":thumbsup:" title="Thumbs Up" /> ^^<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/silentkitty.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":silentkitty:" title="Silentkitty" />________-_<b>Neopets</b>_-_________________<br /><br />I need to rewrite Zelemay's past. D:<br /><br />I realized it could get me frozen, and I'm not willing to lose the guild just yet (None of my side accounts are able to get into the guild, for some reason, when I invite them) so I'm rewriting it. Somehow.<br /><br />I'm still trying to get the right words for the story (Pirate Rubber Duckies and Birdies of the crow nest [I really need a better title]). I'm at a total wall for it, guys, seriously. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. <br /><br />I'm also pretty sure I've got a good personality idea for Aihna, but I'm not so sure. :/<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/devartlogo.gif" width="32" height="17" alt=":devart:" title="deviantART" /><b>_______-_DeviantArt_-__________</b><br /><br />Nothing.

XDDD<br /><br />(I retain the right to say no to anything, but I probably won't unless it's, like, waaaaaaay out there.

So I decided to randomly pick one and answer it.<br /><br />The site: <a href="http://curiousasacat.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2008-06-30T00%3A01%3A00-05%3A00&max-results=7">[link]</a><br /><br /><b>Week Number 118</b><br /><br />1) How often do you see your parents? Would you rather see them more often, less often, or about as often as you currently see them?<br /><br />Everyday. :/ Not much more to say.<br /><br />2) What do you most like or appreciate about the opposite sex?<br /><br />Hmm...probably their sense of humor. I admit it, i am guilty of laughing hysterically when somebody farts.<br /><br />3) With which person from history would you choose to change places?<br /><br />Oh! Oh! Sybil Ludington!<br /><br />Don't know who she is? Well, she was a patriot back during the revolutionary war, and was a lot like Paul Revere in the fact she rode forty miles in the pouring rain to warn her town that the British were going to attack. I just look up to her, because she was just a regular girl who did something spectacular.<br /><br />4) What is the emptiest part of your life?<br /><br />...Um. -does not understand the question- I guess...I don't know. XDD<br /><br />5) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.<br /><br />(Picture = <a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_fiuxRK_3neI/R8DYT_0sdnI/AAAAAAAAA4Q/8YNFKGpMxUU/s1600-h/woods.jpg">[link]</a>)<br /><br />It reminds me of the woods behind my house. :3 and also the time I got lost in them, but I'm not getting into that.

PLEASE.<br /><br />There's a band I found, called the Vitamin String Quartet.<br /><br />OH. MY. GOSH.<br /><br />Please guys, their music almost makes me cry. ;; I HAVE TO SHARE THIS WITH PEOPLE! THE WORLD!<br /><br />What they do is take popular songs, and format them into instrumental. AND IT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MUSIC IN THE WORLD, I SWEAR! It makes me wish I could play an instrument just so I could learn these songs. ;;<br /><br />They. Have. HUNDREDS. of bands. I swear.<br /><br />There's Yellowcard, P!ATD, Fall Out Boy, Maroon 5, Coldplay, My Chemical Romance, System of a Down, Muse, Switchfoot, Greenday, The Fray, Snow Patrol, Paramore, R.E.M, Incubus, The Killers, Linkin Park, One Republic, Evanescence, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Oasis, Leona Lewis, Goo Goo Dolls, Weezer, The White Stripes, Sum 41, Staind, Three Days Grace, Seether, and that's just a portion of a portion of what's on YouTube.<br /><br />PLEASE, GUYS. LISTEN TO THIS MUSIC. If you aren't struck by it...I don't know, it's just impossible not to be.<br /><br />Here's a few:<br /><br />"Mr. Brightside" by The Killers<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84WLtcbgs8Q&feature=related">[link]</a><br /><br />"Clocks" by Coldplay (EXTREMELY Powerful)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8-0i-R0gt0&feature=related">[link]</a><br /><br />"Iris" by Goo-Goo Dolls (Wait a few minutes, it gets better as it goes on)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3po_jKauWjE&feature=related">[link]</a><br /><br />"Broken" by Seether ft.

                <description><![CDATA[ I ran out of creative ways to say I stole a quiz. <br /><br />RULES<br />*Use the 1st letter of your name to answer each of the following...<br />*They have to be real places, names, things. Nothing made up!<br />*Try to use different answers than those who tagged you.<br />*You CAN'T use your name for the boy/girl name question<br /><br />WHAT IS YOUR NAME -- Mary<br /><br />4 LETTER WORD - Mark HA. 8D<br /><br />VEHICLE - ...Magic carpet. No? C'mooon! DX Okay, um...that's all I got.<br /><br />TV Show - My So-Called Life. XDD I've never seen it, but my mom said my sister watched it and made her own episodes of it with her friends. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/thumbsup.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":thumbsup:" title="Thumbs Up" /><br /><br />CITY - ...Minnesota.<br /><br />The heck that's not a city. D:<br /><br />Um...OH MY GOSH MADISON!!! DUH. xDDD THAT'S A CITY IN ALABAMA WE HEARD ABOUT. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/thumbsup.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":thumbsup:" title="Thumbs Up" /><br /><br />BOY NAME - Matthew. Who is also an awesome person at my school. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/thumbsup.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":thumbsup:" title="Thumbs Up" /><br /><br />GIRL NAME - Mandy. HOWEVER! Today I met a girl, and I was like, "Hey, what's your name?" and she said something like "Aw-rey" and I said, "How do you spell that?" and she said "Ary" and I shouted "HOLY CRUD THAT'S MY NAME WITHOUT THE M."<br /><br />OCCUPATION - ...Matchmaker. No? Um...Milker. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/thumbsup.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":thumbsup:" title="Thumbs Up" /><br /><br />SOMETHING YOU WEAR - Make-Up. Easy. XDD<br /><br />SOMETHING FOUND IN A BATHROOM - ...Can't say Make-Up again. Money! Sometimes. XDD No? Okay, ah...<br /><br />Mixed Smells. <br /><br />Yeah, that works.<br /><br />REASON FOR BEING LATE - ...<b>My</b> car broke down.<br /><br />SOMETHING YOU SHOUT - MY GOODNESS!!!!! FRANK, WHAT'RE YOU DOING WITH THAT...THAT...DUSTBAG VACUUM!! DON'T YOU KNOW WE USE SWIFFER NOW???<br /><br />Okay, carried away. XDD<br /><br />School starts for real on monday. As in, work and homework and tardy slips and whatnot. These past few days were practice. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />I also have been having very odd things happen to me. D: Like the other day, I saw this black bump on my leg. So I was think, "Oh, crud, what is this?" and my mom said most likely a hair in backward (Don't ask) and that I should try pulling it out. So I got some tweezers and tried, but it took me until I was almost in bed later to get the skin open to reach it. So I pulled it up and it was this THORN that was like a CLAW. Seriuosly, there was a HOLE in my leg. I freaked out and my mom washed it down the drain and said, "Thank god we got that out." and I exclaimed, "YOU THINK????" Lol...<br /><br />Also! XD I met some new people at my school. One is Brittany, whom I sat next to in the gym first thing first day and we became friends. XDD We like a lot of the same bands and same TV shows. It's insane.<br />Also, there's Ary, and this guy who sits next to me in science named George (I barely know'em, though) and this awesome guy named...I think you spell it Gurden, I'm not sure. He's cool, though, and extremely energetic and polite at the same time. It takes a lot to pull that off. My hats off to him.<br /><br /><br /><br />School's...interesting. I won't bore you. George had to read aloud to the class about why dung beetles collect poop. You don't want to know the specifics, but in short. Everybody eats something, right?<br /><br />Uuugh. <br /><br />Moving on.<br /><br />Okay, bye guys! 8D I'm writing, like, four stories at once right now:<br /><br />- Of course, my pirate story up on Neo.<br />- A NT story.<br />- Melissa's won story.<br />- and a secret. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br /><br />SO I GOTTA GET CRACK A LACKIN'.<br /><br />peace.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

XDD I mean, it was just explanations all day...but I know now what to expect. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/thumbsup.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":thumbsup:" title="Thumbs Up" /><br /><br />Like atleast thirty-fourty minutes of math homework every night. D:<br /><br />AND I HAVE NO CLASSES WITH ANY OF MY FRIENDS. DDDD: I'm so dissapointed...<br /><br />Oh well. I'm not sure if I want to ride the bus...not really. but gas prices, y'know...-siiigh- I also learned none of my friends would be riding my bus this year, but it was after I convinced my mom. D:<br /><br />AND WHY DO MY TEETH BURN???? DX<br /><br />Okay...focus on the good. The good.<br /><br />I met a new girl named Brittany... she's pretty quiet, but I'll fix that soon enough. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> I LOVE Visual Arts, and Advanced Language Arts. We'll be studying some of my favorite things this year. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> Like GERUNDS. XDDD I don't know why, but I've always LOVED Gerunds, Participles, and Infinitives. Kelsey and Caroline are in my Science class...and the teacher really likes me and Kelsey. Like, together. XD She said we're 'cute'. She's also really positive and whatnot...I really like her. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />DUDE, THE HALLLLWAYS!

                <description><![CDATA[ First of all, I finished Breaking Dawn. In, like, one day. Becuase I COULD NOT STOP READING- I swear, it was AWESOME. I will NOT spoil for ANYONE, even though I'm DESPERATE to, but, it was the most filled book and has stuff NOBODY, I mean, NOBODY  will see coming.<br /><br />Second of all; I officially decided that I WILL in, fact, paint Hiss. I'm debating doing it tonight or tomorrow...I'm leaning towards sooner rather than later because I have such plans for her. First of all, however, I need to code her pet page. XD I think I'll do that before anything. I don't know that. I'm also considering saving up for some awesome Spectacles of Perception for her, but they cost over 100,000, so I think I'll just keep playing keyquest and hope for some good stuff to sell and more Neopoints. <br /><br />I'm also going to try one of those STELLAR room.s You know, like the ones you see in a neohome spotlight, tiling, all that? Yeah. I'm excited, to say the least. Hiss will finally BE something...<br /><br />GRAH. I think I may paint her TONIGHT! XD I'm so EXCITED.<br /><br />Finally...I JUST REALIZED SCHOOL STARTS IN FOUR DAYS AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH TERROR AND HORROR AND FEAR.<br /><br />Christine, what was the name of that poem you put up so long ago on your lookup about school? XDD;;<br /><br />Oh, yeah, hey, Christine...did you know Tana has officially replaced you as admin of the guild? I was going to mention that a while back, but forgot. XDD So you probably already heard by now...<br /><br />Okay, I need to go do something before bed. XDD Bye guys.<br /><br />(Oh, and did I mention my dad finally found my camera? Go figure.)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ XDDDD I saw Christine's title and decided to put the same thing ONLY COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!<br /><br />Don't try to figure that out; it gave me a headache, and I wrote it. XDD;;<br /><br />So, um...happy tax-free weekend? I just got back from BAM, and I'm tailing my mom to Hobby Lobby in case my dad decides I need a haircut while she's gone. o.o;; Even though I'm EXHAUSTED.<br /><br />I think I'll bring my twilight book...I need to study. I'm going to a Breaking Dawn party TONIGHT, and there will be TRIVIA. I think such as:<br /><br />What theory did Bella tell Edward?<br /><br />WHICH, OF COURSE, IS BITTEN BY A RADIOACTIVE SPIDER. To which he said, "Not very original, are you?" and she said something like "Well, am I right?" and he said "No. Kyrptonite doesn't affect me either." <br /><br />hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehhe....<br /><br />I need to go get ready. XDDD;;; and I have ROLEPLAYS TO WHICH I MUST REPLY!<br /><br />So far, I have Christine's, Sonic's, and Rie's to either start or reply to. Which is a LOT for me. -phailz-<br /><br />Bye now. ^^ More later.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I figure you watchers must be tired of seeing my journals. XDD;; I thought it would help if I began saying if it's important or not. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> You may bow down to my awesomeness....not.<br /><br />Whooo! I'm so tired. 8D I need to get up at 8 tomorrow so I can get my middle school (-shudder-) schedule...Almost a year of dA for me. Yay. :3<br /><br />I want to do an animated video to this song for Hiss and Erik. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZVSLydGgp4">[link]</a><br />The main song? It's too awesome. Sucks that I can't animate...<br /><br />I also made this as an un-important title becuase...I need to rant. xD;; and I'm afraid I'll offend the people who will KNOW this is projected at them. So I'm keeping this to myself. Kinda.<br /><br />Okie, so here's the rant:<br /><br />I am tired of people on dA saying 'they're being ignored'. I mean, it's okay to throw it in there, but after you complain in caps lock for the second or third time, it's ANNOYING.<br /><br />Even more so when they really AREN'T being 'ignored'. I mean, I understand where they're coming from. Everybody on here wants comments, and everybody wants kiriban, and everybody wants a DD (sounds like a song, lol.) but...you won't have everybody comment on your work. I'm lucky if I have more than four to five people favorite one piece of work. I consider it a masterpiece when a stranger comes along and favs/comments. It irritates the heck out of me when people who have, like, FIFTY WATCHERS complain that nobody cares about them anymore and that nobody comments on their work. <br /><br />I've been on a year, and I understand my art is crudola crap compared to theirs, it just...annoys. It's those people who feel the need to mention a new piece of work, or one of their characters, or SOMETHING about them in EVERYTHING they do.<br /><br />dA isn't about getting the most pageviews, or the most favs, or the most comments. It's about finding similar artists, and getting your art farther than normal....I mean, yes, everyone wants more pageviews. I don't have a problem with those who put it into their signatures, or whatever. No, those people are completely fine, I understand where they come from. It's these people who are striving for greateness but think it'll come by suggesting somebody fav something they've seen.<br /><br />Okay, -sigh-, I'm failing at this. Summary:<br />If you feel the need to TELL people to favorite, or ASK them to comment, step back a bit and look. You're <i>pressuring</i> them to <i>like it</i>. You can't get somebody to like something. Instead of trying to get other people to like it, focus on those who already do.<br /><br />and for the record, some people, like me, ARE LAZY WHEN IT COMES TO COMMENTING. You know the saying: Build a bridge.<br /><br />If you've recently complained about this, it isn't directly at you, it's just I've seen a lot of the people I watch complaining and it's annoying.<br /><br />Okay, all better now. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/peace.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":peace:" title="Peace" /><br /><br /><br />Good night, all. ^^ Keyquest Beta is being annoying, I think I'll hit the sack for the night...<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Betcha can guess the song I'M listening to...Ha-ha...<br /><br />It's scary how fast summer passed...I can't believe I'm a Middle Schooler. Mary, Middle Schooler. I joined Neo when I was in...third, second grade? Gahlee you guys took me way too far in. XDDD<br /><br />Okay, so....I haven't been outside for more than five minutes in two days. XD WHY? Becuase the place I'm living in has a 'Bad Air Quality' alert. Seriuosly, nobody's allowed outside where I live for more than thirty minutes, or, as the weatherman put it, "If you have trouble breathing". I literally had a conversation with my mom that went like this:<br /><br />My mom: Mary, why are you staring outside?<br />Me: ...I don't know, I guess becuase I haven't been outside in a long time...<br />My mom: ...O.o<br />Me: Wait, that came out wrong.<br /><br />XDDD;;<br /><br />I need to update my story, but...I'm at a loss for how to do it. I mean, I have a general idea, but I can't seem to get it right with the words...I'm considering consulting Sonic, since, you know, she's one of the best writers in the guild (still in the guild, correction.) and I also have the impression she knows the story better than I do. o.O I can't believe I thought I'd finish the story before the summer ended...Ha! Still, it'll be nice to talk about The Pillaging Pirate Rubber Duckies and Birdies of the Crows' Nest long after the weather for it has ended.<br /><br />As for my last journal....sorry about that, it was incredibly immature to get in such a frenzy about those minscule things. The meeting ended before Avatar came on, so I managed to watch that. The appointment was rescheduled for the week after the first week. I'm still not sure about the whole &#039<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" />arties' thing, but it's nothing you guys need to hear about, my apologies. <br /><br />Oh my gosh, is that thunder? YES, RAIN! WE MAY BE ABLE TO GO OUTSIDE AGAIN FNEHFIUEFHREHGFREGYEWFADYEGFHJAK. 8D<br /><br />Okie dokie. I'm going to try to convince my bro to play more video games with me. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/peace.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":peace:" title="Peace" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Why is EVERYTHING overlapping or CHANGING or STOPPING???<br /><br />I am so IRRITATED. >< Okay, so, first of all, I REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT TO SEE THE FINALE OF AVATAR. I have been following that series since the first episode three seasons ago, and I LOVE it. HOWEVER! I have the VERY LAST EVER meeting of Girl Scouts that EXACT day at that EXACT time....<br /><br />Secondly, I've raved about twilight before, right? Well, my local books-a-million is holding a HUUUUGE party for the VERY LAST book in the series, but it's on the exact same night as my friend's party. I mean, the party will be over by then, but she's considering a sleepover with just me and her and a couple of our best friends and....just, urgh.<br /><br />Oh great. My mom just came in here and informed me that she MAY be able to reschedule a docter's appointment, but if not, it'll be the day AFTER SCHOOL BEGINS. <br /><br />Which means I'll be behind the second day.<br /><br />AND I'M NOT HAVING NACHOS TONIGHT. <br /><br />Though that's insignificant. <br /><br />It just seems like everything's changing or overlapping or dissapearing. >>><<<<br /><br />I MEAN, HONESTLY!!!<br /><br /><br /><br />ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />That is all . ><;; I know, this all....highly stupid to be irritated over, but I'm irritated all the same becuase I can't do a THING about ANY OF THEM.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Life Update. Back from my trip, waiting for life to continue....we stopped by B-Ham to go to some kind of graduation party for a guy who didn't know me. XDDD; Still! I met a lot of people I didn't know I was related to, and afterwards we went home and I got to tuck my baby cousin into bed. :3 So all's well. EXCEPT I STAINED MY PANTS WITH SOME KIND OF CRAP, WHICH IS HORRIBLE, BECUASE THEY WERE KHAKIS AND THE ONLY SHORTS THAT MATCHED MY YELLOWCARD SHIRT EFFORTLESSLY. YOU SEE MY PROBLEM???<br /><br />I also discovered a site where you can download free GC songs. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/thumbsup.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":thumbsup:" title="Thumbs Up" /> So anyway who wants some unreleased Good Charlotte songs, go to GCstate.com.<br /><br />ANNNNYWAY. Not here to bother you guys, so I'm signing off. Luffs. Lol.<br /><br />Oh yeah, and I'm hoping to scan in some pictures soon. Wish me luck~!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ 1. What do you like about your style?<br /><br />It's nice to finally have one, even if it apparently stinks. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/t/thumbsup.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":thumbsup:" title="Thumbs Up" /> I like to the sketchiness, I suppose.<br /><br />2. Which is the most popular deviation in your gallery? Why do you think people like it so much? What do YOU like about it?<br /><br /><a href="http://mandrunited.deviantart.com/art/Emo-Characters-Kinda-Stamp-83236310">[link]</a><br /><br />I do believe it's becuase it involves a stamp, emos, and emoticons. -looks thoughtful and nods- Yes, that seems to be it...<br /><br />I like it mostly becuase of Happy. XD It's just awesome how it came out.<br /><br /><br /><br />3. Pick one of your least popular deviations. What are the things you like about it, despite the lack of popularity?<br /><br /><a href="http://mandrunited.deviantart.com/art/Narciss-Nightmare-King-77509394">[link]</a><br /><br />Despite everything, this took me atleast three days to finish and complete. It's also the ONLY one of my pictures EVER that's shaded correctly...that was what took me the three days. I just can't shade...<br /><br /><br /><br />4. Which is your favorite picture, concept- or idea-wise? Would you ever revisit this idea and try to make a new picture based on it again?<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://mandrunited.deviantart.com/art/To-Believe-78872525">[link]</a><br /><br />LOL Not a picture. XD;; But still! I did thoroughly enjoy how this came out, even if it was a 'spur-of-the-moment' kind of thing. and probably not; It's be wayyy too difficult.<br /><br /><br /><br />5. Do you have a favorite quickie? What are the things you like about it?<br /><br /><a href="http://mandrunited.deviantart.com/art/Random-Icon-76512917">[link]</a><br /><br />This only took about ten minutes, but I used a lot of what I knew about Christine for it and it's special becuase I made it for her and she used it and yayness. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> <br /><br />6. Do you have a favorite piece that involved tons of time and effort?<br /><br /><a href="http://mandrunited.deviantart.com/art/The-Twelve-days-of-NAM-Xmas-71921019">[link]</a><br /><br />Lord Almighty....XD Four days, and I would spend about Five hours a day on it. Then it deleted itself at one point in time and had to start alll over...-shudder- and still so many things to fix! :0 I need to get on that...<br /><br /><br /><br />7. Lastly, pick your top favorite image in your gallery. (If you picked this picture in any of the previous answers, please pick the next favorite or something.) Why do you like it so much?<br /><br /><a href="http://mandrunited.deviantart.com/art/Go-Photoshop-Brushes-X3-61263875">[link]</a><br /><br />It was my first ever deviation, and recieved a lot of attention. 8'D Now it's buried under my ocean of diarehha (LOL LOVE THAT SONG) and...well, yeah. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br /><br /><b>The rest is useless blather, It's a whole lot, but if you read it all you'll have Mary love forever! >w< </b><br /><br />SPEAKING OF SONNNNGS! I updated my I-Pod and I am IN LOVE, BABY! So many songs! -squeals- I've got the AWESOME 'Let It Go' by Graham Colton Band, which has no video or else I'd show you...ANNNND! I've got some Good Ol' John Mayer...Lost Prophets...P.O.D (Who doesn't love a good 'Going In Blind'? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />) and OF COURSE, OF COOOOURSE 'Viva La Vida' by Coldplay! That song is made of WIN! I order you to go listen to it, NOOOOW! It has instrumental and basically a lot of powerful music...<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNy69cyQsYg">[link]</a><br /><br />I still have a lot of songs to get. :3 Like 'Bigger Than My Body', and some stuff by Mayday Parade and I'm going to see if I can find 'River Flows in You' by Yiruma, which is the supposed lullaby to Bella-<br /><br />OH. MY GOOOOOOSH. TWILIGHT/NEW MOON/ECLIPSE/BREAKING DAWN SPAZ TIME!!!!!<br /><br />manIlovethatseries. Love. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><a href="http://bigheartplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/b/i/bigheartplz.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconbigheartplz:" title="bigheartplz"/></a><br /><br />Okay, FIRST OFF! Bella is sooo self-sacrificing. and let's just face it, everybody wants an Edward. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> and I feel so sorry for Jacob, he just wants the best for Bella, and for her to stay human and live. ;; and poor Mike is just so obliviuos...and Victoria...and James....NO.

                <description><![CDATA[ Cuz the wind is about to PICK UP....<br /><br />So, here's the plan at my house for the next few days; <br /><br />-Tomorrow, my cousin is coming up to my house. That same day, my mom's friend is coming up from the gulf. This means not only will it be a full house, but my bathroom is going to be split between four people. Not happy. I put a Port-o-Potty on the shopping list, but my mom saw it and called me a Smart Aleck in a slightly more offensive way. Becuase of this, I will be stealing her bathroom much more. She just doesn't know this yet.<br /><br />-The day after that is a huge party of awesomeness. I will be gone all day and may make a journal after that. However, recently I've been thinking about the number of journals I've done, and know Sonic and Christine and everybody else who's gone will be freaking out becuase all my journals. I must...refrain...<br /><br />-The day after that everybody leaves again, and we can breathe again.<br /><br />- I think either the day after, or the day after the day after, we follow my dad down to the beach for his work. Be gone for, like, 3 or four days...<br /><br />and I'm not sure about after that...<br /><br />However! I can't WAIT FOR BREAKING DAWN! d^^b By Stephanie Meyer!! I got a special edition copy of Eclipse, and not only did it come with a poster for it, but T-Shirt iron ons (Not So Great) and a preview of Breaking Dawn! ^^b Of course, my mom doesn't know I finished Eclipse...so...I'm trying to keep that quiet. --;; I keep randomly placing the bookmark in the book so she doesn't see. BUT STILL SO EXCITED. 8DDDDD<br /><br />So, yeah, everything's been great recently. Anyway, I've got scrubs to watch...see ya later.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
