This can't be very long, seeing as I'm writing this in school.
I suck at maintaining a blog. I'm sorry people. It's been, what, five months?
This morning I realized that I still haven't taken down my Dark Knight calendar. I'm unwilling to remove the Joker from my wall.
And now I have a headache. And a hangnail, and I left my nail clippers at home along with my phone. Great. (Not that anyone besides my mom contacts me via phone...)
So, yeah. What's up?

Holy crap, haven't been on here since Feb...
WHOA. That's crazy.
It's been awhile...and I still haven't done anything meaningful. Unless you count doodling. In that case, I've done a ton of stuff. If not, then...well, nothing.
My family went to Orlando for spring break. Very very fun. And our first trip to Disney. Expensive as crap, but way more fun than I thought it'd be. I'm rather glad that I didn't give them any of my money except to get food. But my favorite part was going to Universal! OH MY GOD, SO FUN. My family actually left me with another family that they knew and had two kids, so I got to do WAY more than I would've gotten to do with my family. (OK, the reason they did that was because each of us got to pick a park we wanted to go to. My mom wanted Animal Kingdom, my brother wanted Epcot, my sister picked Magic Kingdom, my dad didn't really pick anything, and I picked Universal's Islands of Adventure. No one else wanted to go there but me, and tickets were really expensive. So they handed me over to their friends who were also there and my family went to SeaWorld for the day.) That family also had an extra passcard, because they were staying at the Hard Rock Hotel, which is a Universal hotel, so their passcard sped them up in the lines, so we got on WAY faster. Which, frankly, I'm glad of, because otherwise I would've completely lost my nerve before getting on the Jurassic Park ride, which was the reason I'd picked Universal. Also, I had Joseph and Gabrielle (my parents' friends' kids) to keep me in line. Thus, I got on before I lost my nerve, and I started whistling the theme music as the ride started. Unfortunately, this next bit will be rather damaging to my image, but I started...uhh...crying...when I saw the climb up to where the raptors & T-rex are. It didn't look that steep in the video on YouTube. I'm scared of escalators. SO, going up at a seventy-five degree angle, in the pitch-dark, with lights flashing and alarms going off, and carnivorous dinosaurs popping out at you, is pretty much my little slice of hell. I missed the T-rex, but I opened my eyes RIGHT when we dropped...yeah. Long drop. On the plus side, I got a little raptor toy!
Also, our Florida rental car's radio was telepathic, I swear. When we were driving through Downtown Disney our first night there, it started playing 'Funkytown,' and if you've ever been there, you'll know what I mean. Then, when we went to Universal, the place I picked, it started playing 'Walkin' on Sunshine.' Then, that night, I started thinking about how eerie our hotel looked, because it was all lit up from the outside and looked like an alien mothership, it started playing 'Hotel California.' Psychic car radio!
So, yeah. Maybe I'll write another entry later that describes spring break a little more. This is already long as is, and I've got quite a bit more to write.
I saw a few movies over the summer...read several dozen books...watched millions of cartoons...singlehandedly saved the galaxy multiple times...and read all the 'Calvin and Hobbes' and 'Dilbert' books I could get my hands on.
I got my phone to make the transforming sound whenever I get a text, and the Cloverfield monster roars whenever I get a call. Needless to say, it draws stares whenever it goes off. I also attached an Autobot sticker to my bike and iPod. My phone is next on the list if I ever find those stickers. I got them from Japan (Woot eBay.)...but I think I lost them when we redid my room. I'm also missing my Pokemon Handbook from when I was seven...and my folder of Pokemon cards from the same time. (I enjoy reminiscing, okay? Pokemon was one of my favorite cartoons until it got lame!)
My family got all the seasons of 'psych' on DVD, and I am now the proud owner of volumes 1-12 of Death Note. [gets teary-eyed] My first full manga collection...
I also went to my first animecon back in...uhh...March. I think. Hopefully next time I can actually dress up and my dad won't come. Nothing against him, I'm glad he took me & Eileen, but I think he has a rather low opinion of the people who dress up in elaborate costumes for those things. (Eileen? Wanna go as Pokemon trainers next time?)
OK, that's all for now. Eesh, this is a long post. Sorry about that.
Actually, live in fear of what the description of my spring break is gonna look like. I'm willing to bet twenty-five cents that it'll be longer than this one. You'll be reading that one forever! Mwahaha!

Also, Eileen, if you even read this anymore, I've ALMOST beaten your game, but I keep getting my ass handed to be by the Elite Four Champion. MUST KICK HIS ASS.
Also, I did my dorky thing again this morning. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!
Oh, btw, if/when you read this, can you tell me if your Gmail won't let you on chat? Cuz on my home comp, something's wrong & it won't let me tell who's online...it's weird.

Continuation of the Last Post
OK, I asked some friends to read it and add ones that they thought up.
Only Stephanie added some. Here are hers:
HAVE YOU EVER WANTED...
To go into a Walmart & start flinging the stuffed animals off the shelves, screaming "BE FREE, MY ANIMAL FRIENDS! FREEDOM!" ?
To rattle off a string of Shakespearan insults at someone, then just walk away?
To talk to yourself/a toy/a doll until people stare?
To stare at a doll (Barbie) for a long time, then scream "Stop staring at me!" ?
To do the above, but say "Damn it! I blinked!" ?
I also thought up a bunch.
HAVE YOU EVER WANTED...
To run through Macy's (Nordstrom, Hechts, Lord&Taylor, whatever) screaming "ZOMBIE ATTACK!" ?
To do the above, but scream "ALIEN INVASION!" instead?
To scream when the producer's logo appears on the screen when you're in the movie theater?
To prank call a live radio show?
To walk into the toy aisle, pull a Barbie doll off the shelf, stare at it for a long time, then throw it on the ground and run away crying?
To walk through the toy aisle, walk past a Cabbage Patch doll, then freeze, run back and start yelling furiously at it? (Something along the lines of "How could you do that to me?! I thought we were FRIENDS!" would work well.)
To start singing "Car Wash" in the middle of the mall food court?
To run late into your classroom (or assembly) screaming "TROLL! TROLL IN THE DUNGEONS!" ?
Also, Lucy told me about a weird dream she had that inspired this one:
To pull out a guitar and start singing "American Pie" in the middle of a Bio test?
2.18.2009
Have You Ever Wanted...
To bust out singing in an elevator filled with people you don't know?
To slap your math teacher and run away laughing maniacally?
To stand on your desk while taking a test, jump off, and yell "I AM SUPERMAN" ?
To pay for your McDonalds but drive off before getting the food?
To get up and start singing "Eye of the Tiger" in a very quiet classroom?
To run down the hall during class screaming "FLAMING HOBOS" ?
To drop an anvil on someone's head, Roadrunner Style?
To have a friend chase you through the mall while you laugh maniacally and yell "You'll never catch me, Batman" ?
To throw a fish at someone's face?
To have a pie thrown at your face?
To take place in a thoroughly bitchin' car chase?
To slap your math teacher and run away laughing maniacally?
To stand on your desk while taking a test, jump off, and yell "I AM SUPERMAN" ?
To pay for your McDonalds but drive off before getting the food?
To get up and start singing "Eye of the Tiger" in a very quiet classroom?

ADD MORE! I WANNA MAKE AN EMAIL CHAIN OUT OF THIS! NO STEALING MY IDEAS!
WHOOPS...
I forgot to tell you all something...
NEELIE IS OBSESSED WITH L! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I got an Envy pin at Katsucon.
I woulda gotten a plushy of Envy IF THEY SOLD THEM.
Envy's my fave.
Envy Envy Envy.
ENVY!
Whoa...
I haven't posted in almost a month! Holy sh!t.
Well, lemme catch you up on what's happened to me since January.
I ate. I slept. I maintained hygiene. I went to school. I bought manga. I started a fanfic. I played Pokemon Emerald. I watched TV. I bought Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. I played Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. I played computer games. I read. I doodled. I got my ass handed to me by the Elite Four. I got my ass handed to me by Groudon. I read manga. I went to Katsucon. I bought anime stuff. I locked myself in my room. I ate candy. I shunned society. I read more manga. I woke up this morning. I came to Computer Apps. I logged onto Blogger. I began typing.
THE END.
You may applaud now.

Flaming Hobos!
Well, I went over to Quel's house with Neels this weekend, and we saw Cloverfield.
And it was AWESOME!
My favorite part was the tunnel sequence, the part where they're all about 20 feet away from the military and Clover, (right before the first shot of its face and before Hud falls down the stairs to the subway) and the part where Clover studies Hud before it bites him in half...I mean, didja see its eyes? There's a very intense look in them. Curiosity, y'know? "I've just been bombed...I'm ANGRY...I knocked down that chopper...I'm following it to the ground...OOOOOOOOOO, what's this? Is it edible? I guess it is, all the others were."

I'M GOING THRU POKEMON EMERALD WITHDRAWAL! MUST PLAY NOW!
I am going CRAZY without it. Maybe I can get my mom's DS back over the weekend. I GOTTA PLAY THAT GAME! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
We had the worst fire drill EVER today at school. There was some kind of screwup with one of the boilers and it released a ton of smoke and some teacher pulled the fire alarm and THAT'S how the student body at my high school wound up all huddled together like a bunch of Emperor Penguins. AND I WAS IN MY GYM UNIFORM! If I'd been in my regular uniform I woulda at least had a SWEATSHIRT, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
'Twas horrible.
But yeah. I'm ratsitting this weekend. My sister's friend has a rat & her family wants ME to take care of it! I'm so psyched! I love rats.
I'm also gonna FINALLY see Cloverfield this weekend. Or next week, whatever. I'm seeing it on Monday, but it's a 4-day weekend so...?
PS: Neels, if there's ANY WAY you could give me your Gamboy Advanced & its charger, I'd be VERY grateful.
PSS: Again, Neels, I'm sorry you can't come see Cloverfield with me & Quel. But most likely the day that you can see it, I'll be able to see it too. Cuz unless I either miraculously get a boyfriend or get drafted, I'm free every weekend for the rest of my life.
-Ta!

Quel, I Know You Read This Blog. So Tell Me...
Wouldn't it be funny if we watched Cloverfield on the one-year anniversary? 1-18-09? Sorry, just thought of that. It'd be funny.
Oh, and Neels, I hear you're coming too?
All we need is SarahK&SarahJ & we'd have our own little freshman-year-PE party! Except that SarahK doesn't wanna touch Cloverfield with a 300-foot pole. (Hahaha.) Maybe we could have a Dark Knight Freshman Year PE Party on MLK weekend or something.
Email me with your opinon!

Hey all, haven't posted in awhile
Been playing Pokemon Emerald and working on my Pivots.
OK, my family FINALLY got a new, fast comp, and they let me download Pivot Stickfigure Animator to it! IT'S AWESOME!
I'm working on my first video, but hopefully I'll be done in a few days. I'm gonna beg my parents to let me download Movie Maker tonight so I can do voices and sh!t.
You may notice a few references to Cloverfield in my videos, and I'm sorry. I tried to head off the pre-see-it obsession early, but NOOOOOOOO. (If you have an issue with that, blame Quel. It's ALL HER FAULT. I still love you Quel.)
I'm sitting at home all bored...and watching iCarly. I don't exactly like that show, the yelling and the purposeful randomness gets REALLY irritating REALLY fast, but it's OK for a laugh. I just realized it's even funnier if you repeatedly press the mute button so that only snippets of sound get out. It's hilarious. Oh, and there's a difference between purposeful randomness and RaNdOm randomness. RaNdOm (Yes, I'm required to spell it like that.) randomness is a heckuvalot funnier. If you've ever carried on a chat with me, you'll know that.
OK, gonna keep working on those Pivots. Seeya!
PS: Quel, if you're reading this, you can get Clover roaring as your ringtone! Well, if you have AT&T. Not sure about other companies. Possibly. I'll play it for ya at school tomorrow.

Guess What?
I GOT PIVOT ON OUR NEW COMP!
I'm gonna make my own version of "Stick Figures On Crack," but some of the cartoons will be based off the doodles I drew back at the beginning of the year. I'll post the clips (I won't be able to add sound to them until we get Movie Maker) and the script so you can imagine it.
Lemme know what you think!
PS: I'm STILL OBSESSED WITH POKEMON EMERALD! WHAT IS WRONG WITH MEEEEE?!

*sighs* Happy New Year, All
I've become hooked on Pokemon Emerald. I've caught Eileen about 50+ Pokemon. I don't wanna give it back; I love all the ones I caught. But I have to. (Neels, I'm gonna give it to you next time we see each other. I need to give you your fudge.) I feel so geeky. But it IS fun.
That's probably what I'm gonna be doing tonight. Playing Pokemon or having a TDK marathon. My friends & I don't really party on major holidays. I wish we did. It'd be better than hanging around watching my sibs play Guitar Hero, which I would play too, but I can't figure out where to put my fingers. Also, I'm kinda hyperactive & very spastic, so I'd lose. I'd be able to sing, but we don't have a mic. And I can't sing either.
My little cousins are in town from out-of-state. They're so cute. And very funny. The youngest, Bridget, did the cutest thing today. We were at the Air & Space Museum today, and my grandfather (Pop) flew one of the planes in WWII. There was a little touch-screen thing that'd let you look inside the cockpit of any plane. So I clicked on the one that Pop had flown, and I said to Bridget, "This is the plane that Pop flew." Then the picture of the inside of the cockpit came up, and she goes, "Where's Pop?" I laughed, it was too cute!

I Was Bored Yesterday, So I Made THIS.
Mleh.
Yeah, I know it's bad. Maybe I shoulda printed out the sign&car and drawn the stick figure & thought bubble by hand, then scanned it into my comp. Oh, well.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! (Merry Olde English version)
I got a video camera, Vol. 8 of Fullmetal Alchemist (JOY!), a bunch more books, candy, gift cards, a TDK calendar (^_^), aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand...
THE DARK KNIGHT ON DVD!
*squeals*
You're never gonna see me ever again! I'm gonna lock myself up in my room & watch it 24/7! GOTTA GO WATCH IT!
*squeals again*

It Doesn't Feel Like the Day Before Christmas Eve
It just doesn't. I don't know why, and it kinda makes me sad. I guess the magic's gone now. And what with the present state of the economy & all, maybe that's why everyone's kinda gloomy this year. It really makes me sad that the happy spirit of Christmas left.

Guess What?!
MY PARENTAL UNITS TOOK US TO GREAT WOLF LODGE! I'm writing this from the Spring Hill Suites we're staying at now. (Dad couldn't get the wi-fi on his laptop to work.) It was insane! A total surprise! Dad said, "OK, guys, here's our hotel," and he pulled into the parking lot at GWL! I seriously thought he was faking us out! I thought that any second he was gonna pull a U-turn and take us to some other hotel. But we only stayed one night, but we did SO MUCH STUFF! We spent about 5 hours at the pool. And don't even get me started on the game room! If any of you people reading this ever get the chance to go there, I highly recommend it!
It was so much fun!
But now we have to head out to Williamsburg, and it's like 30 degrees here, and we all have wet heads. (We went swimming again this morning and we stayed there until about a half-hour ago.) It's gonna be a chilly hell-on-earth. But hopefully the Fife and Drum Corps will be out tonight, so we can go watch them. But still...it's freezing.
More tonight!
I hope.
And Neels, your Pokemon called "BA" evolved.

We're going out of town
Yeah...historical Williamsburg. We go there EVERY YEAR. But we're a family of geeks, so we love going to historical places. The drive (Can you believe it? We're DRIVING.) is gonna take FOR-freaking-EVER! *bangs head on keyboard* But I'll still be posting (to this blog that no one besides a few friends read) cuz dad's bringing his laptop & the hotel hopefully has a business center.
I need an ice pack or something. Last night, me, DJ, & Jimmy were hanging out at DJ's before going cosmic bowling. (I lost 3 straight games. You can't achieve that kind of perfection from practice.) Anyhoo, we were roughhousing, and I hit the arm of his couch & kinda backflipped/rolled off the couch, then smashed my right elbow on the coffee table that hadn't been there last time. It hurts...
Uh-oh, gotta go, we're heading out soon.
PS: Neelie, a couple of your Pokemon advanced a few stages. I have to play it on my mom's DS now cuz your Gameboy died. *plays taps and logs off*

PS: Neelie, a couple of your Pokemon advanced a few stages. I have to play it on my mom's DS now cuz your Gameboy died. *plays taps and logs off*

We're gonna see a movie in a bit
So I'm writing a quick post. We're going to see Bolt, which I don't really wanna see. (Miley fricking Cyrus) I'd rather stay home and watch cartoons or something.
I saw some ADORABLE rats at Petco today. One of them looked exactly like Matilda! (My cousin's rat, may she rest in peace.) He was so cute! And very friendly. I REALLY want a rat. I'm hoping my parental units will surprise me with one for Christmas, but I doubt it.
My mom's looming over me watching me type. Now she's chuckling. Now she's walking away and sitting down. Now she's watching TV and holding my little brother on her lap.
I'm tired now. Now I'm rambling. I'm beating my head on the keyboard. a;lkjdgiorewatmnv52742FDAHGKAREUTNBM,ADHA;IEhjiosa;rhgtsrglkjnv;alirth
I'm leaving and going to IMDb.
GOOD-BYE.
Deutsch Exam
Fairly semi-easy. That's all I'm gonna say, save my typing space.
To do THIS.
CHRISTMAS BREAK IS ON, SUCKERS!

Bio Exam
OK, bio exam today...HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE! It was 150 questions & it took the entire class period. On the plus side, it was at 9:30, so I got to sleep in this morning. I slept in until 9. I have my German exam tomorrow, which I'm fairly good at, so it'll (hopefully) not be too hard.
Englizh Exam
OK, I ate up all my time writing the last post, so I'm posting about my English exam now.
Hmmm...it was long & hard, and it took me the entire class period. It was on all the depressing (and I mean DEPRESSING) books we've read since the start of the year. I didn't like ANY of the books we read. In the "madatory bonus" question, I wrote "I didn't like any of the books we read this semester. Coould we read some more uplifting books in the future? If I had to pick one story I liked, I'd have to say Popol Vuh, (It's a Mayan creation story, in case you don't know.) mostly because it's incredily easy to make fun of. Actually, some friends & I are rewriting it."
We really are; me, Stephanie, and Lucy. We're calling it Popol Vuh:RE-AMPED. Lucy's writing it, I'm drawing it, and Stephanie's just a credited extra. It's pretty funny, I'll post a few pages up here in a little while.
Bottom line on the exam: hard as crap.

Boredom
Well, everyone who bothers to read this blog, I'm bored. Whenever I'm bored, I go onto the Cloverfield boards. I was just on a little while ago. I don't participate, I just read. Never have I seen a "Things We've Learned From [enter movie title here]" board go so wrong...it's hilarious! Check it out: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1060277/board/thread/117690726
Yeah, I've never seen that movie and prolly never will, unless someone else who's seen it can tell me when not to look (I might have a weak stomach...I dunno, I've never seen a slasher movie before.) But it seems pretty good. I might have a problem with the "girl explodes, guy gets bit in half, everyone dies a bloody&violent death" parts, but it seems good; I like giant monsters...yeah. In my opinion, the giant rampaging monsters are just scared. They all just woke up from some weird sleep and they find themselves in unfamiliar territory. Next thing they know, people are yelling and screaming and there are bombs being fired at the poor thing's head. I pity the monster.
Yeah, I know this was a random post...stupid train of thought.

First Day of Exams - OVER!
OK, I had my geometry & religion exams today. The geometry was short&hard but the religion was long&E-Z! Tomorrow I only have my English exam. (No PE exam for THIS girl!) 'Twas my only full day of exams. All my next days have only 1 exam (WOOT!); and I get to sleep in on Thursday (Bio) & Friday (German).
The geometry exam: About 45 questions long, with only 3 proofs. (Proofs are like the tonsils of the math world; they're bloody useless. I love that word, "bloody".) And we only had to do one full one! The other two had the steps all done, all we had to do was fill in the reasons. I BS-ed on all of the proofs, though. Everything else was fairly easy, which gives me a bad feeling.
The religion exam: 150 questions, and we had to list the 27 books of the New Testament. F-R-E-A-K-I-N E-A-S-Y! (Apart from the books thing.) Everyone finished about half an hour before the bell rang, so DJ & I started doing a Benchman Bob (long story, more later), but we didn't get to finish it...maybe we'll work more on it tomorrow. (We're in the same English class.)

I made a YouTube account. ZiLtheHumanoid.
Neels, this is all YOUR fault. />_<\
I made a video in memory of Bubbles, my guinea pig.
Here's the URL.

MIDTERMS! AAAAAAAAAGH! *spooky sound effects play*
Yeah...midterm season has come to Liz's high school. First, I have my Geometry (Semi-yay, I get the toughest test over with FIRST. No more studying -cough-torture-cough- with Dad!), then Religion...two subjects that you need to know a TON of sh!t about. I'm screwed.
I'll be keeping you posted about how it's going.
And Neelie, hello.

Ok, peoples, this guy is one of THE funniest people on YouTube. I reccommend his other LEGOmation videos, but, be warned, they cuss a LOT.

BAHAHAHA
I'm at school again...I feel so evil. We have a full period in the tech lab today, so I can blog a LOT. SarahK & DJ are on either side of me and they're moaning about the midterms. WE'RE DOOMED! Doom...doom...doom...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
DJ's looking as I type. "You're gonna fail this project Liz." He's taken over the blog. This is D.J. Quake in fear mortal fools. BWAHAHAHAHA.
And Liz has retaken control of the blog. That was awkward when DJ typed that last sentence. That was an EXTREME invasion of my personal bubble. SarahK was laughing and giving us weird looks. Now they're both diligently working. I look like I'm typing and working on my Photostory until you come up behind me. I LOOK STUDIOUS! HA!
Sigh...what to do...what to do...I guess I'll work for a minute.
If you're wondering what the heck my English class is doing, we're doing a Photostory on a grandparent. I did mine on my Grandpa.
Photostory ROCKS. It's the new PowerPoint. It's awesome.
Hmmm...guess I'll talk about YouTube videos for a sec. Oh crap wait my teacher's walking up the aisle gotta go BYE!

Driving Lessons: Prediction No. 7
3 words 'bout Mom: LOVE. THE. FACE.Me, aka the Grim Reaper (thought): This costume was worth every penny!
Driving Lessons: Prediction No. 6
Mom: self-explanatory. I mean, c'mon look at that face!Me: I see 'em! I see 'em!
Driving Lessons: Prediction No. 5
Mom: I call this one: "Patty Meets the Grim Reaper."
Me: I stopped the car before we spun off the road!
Driving Lessons: Prediction No. 4
Mom: "Into thine hands I commend my spirit..."
Me: Get a grip, Mom! I missed that 18-wheeler!
Driving Lessons: Prediction No. 3
Mom's always freaking out aboout her hair going grey, so I mocked it.Mom: See these grey hairs? They're all from that last turn.
Me (thought): Or maybe from those last 40 years...
Driving Lessons: Prediction No. 2
HEY! I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING! We're not wearing our seat belts...if I crash, we're gonna get seriously injured...or worse. Crap. Continuity is not my strong point.Again, if you can't tell what we're saying, it's Mom: "Give me the wheel!" and me: "BACK! BACK!"
Driving Lessons: Prediction No. 1
This is the first one I ever did, and I love that face.If you can't tell what I'm thinking, it's "That is really distracting."
Driving Lessons: Predictions
OK, the upcoming miniseries is just a bunch of doodles I came up with after my parents dragged me to a driving safety class in mid-July. I daydreamed at one point and imagined my mom's reactions with me as a driver. I doodled that one at the class, then came home later in the day and put it down oon regular paper. I was then inspired to do seven more. And for those of you who are curious, I failed my permit test, but I can retake it. I just don't choose to. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the madness.

Sigh.
Day 1 of being 16...off I go, into the world...just like I did yesterday...and the day before that...and the day before that...blah blah blah.
Yeah, my birthday was yesterday. Woo.
Doodles...
Yeah. In case you can't read it, it says "Just keep living, Ted, it'll all be worth it one day." And those things clinging to him are dogs. He's dressed as a steak.
I drew this in bio when the teacher spontaneously walked out of the room for about 10 minutes. I also drew the next one.
Doodles...
I honestly don't know what inspired this one. I just drew a dude with a sock puppet. Then the line entered my head.
This was also done when the teacher spontaneously walked out of the room. (Before the Ted one, actually.)

Maybe I'll Actually Rewrite Twilight
I dunno. Anyone think I should? Ellie?
I'd like to take a shot at it.
Even though it really WAS the worst book I've ever had the misfortune to have had enter my eyeballs.

Sonnet I Had to Write for Creative Writing
Urrrgh. Don't look at it. It's horrible.
There’s a fat squirrel outside
Who’s eating the birdseed off the deck.
Joining forces to make the porch a wreck,
Birds flutter alongside.
My feeder is under attack
By birds of all kinds.
I can’t go out, I’d be out of my mind.
So there’s no hope for beating them back.
There they go again.
All the birds disappear,
Leaving as if in a mad race.
I go clean the deck off, sweeping with very little cheer.
I search the deep recesses of my brain
To see whose idea that feeder was in the first place.

More About the Greek Gods
OK, in the last post, I rambled about the Greek gods for a bit. Well, actually, a lot. So, I'll tell you all a bit more about them. I have a slight obsession with them and thus know lots about them.
But...um...well, I can't tell that much right now without going into a big long rant, so...
www.godchecker.com
I think that's the right URL. If not, I'll change it.

Stupid Fashion
OK, am I the only one on the face of this planet that thinks that the "tuck your pants into your boots" style is the most RIDICULOUS-LOOKING thing ever? It looks so stupid. My sister (fashion zombie) says I think that cuz I have no sense of style (true). But I'm sorry, tucking your pants into your boots? It's like pulling your pants up past your waistline! It will NEVER look cool! NEVER EVER!
On another topic, I drew some full-body manga. Again, NOWHERE near pro level. But still. I'll post it later. I'm at the library right now.
In case I don't get it up for awhile, it has 2 people in it. There's a short girl with a switchblade, lunging at something unseen, and a tall male vamp rolling his eyes, looking bored, and holding her back. I guess, if I ever actually DO manga, they'll be the main characters. I already have the basic plotline: A pro vampire huntress is forced to team up with a male vamp in order to save both their species. Also, for the Greek gods that I've posted? I have the title for their thing (again, only if I ever do it): Ichor. (god-blood) It'll circulate around the kids & teens that are appaerently the reincarnations of the Greek gods. The Titans (ancestors of the Greek gods) will be regulars. OK, I'm rambling to the Internet what I'm afraid to tell my friends.

Eros
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AIN'T HE CUTE! HE LOOKS LIKE MY LITTLE BROTHER! And notice the well-drawn wings! And the freckles! I LOVE HIM! Ooooh. I just realized...I forgot to draw eyebrows on him. But y'know...it kinda works for the "little boy" look.
Eris
I L-O-V-E how she looks! Again, notice the subtleties. To let you all know some of her history, she is the goddess of spite. She started the Trojan War by throwing an APPLE into a banquet hall. I like to eat APPLEs. NYC is sometimes called the Big APPLE.Demeter
I love how she looks. She looks like a semi-actual manga character. And I like the big eyes. Notice the subtleties...just FYI, Demeter is the goddess of the harvest and farming. She is often pictured holding CORN. My sister loves CORN. I enjoy eating popCORN.Hera
I love the face she's making. It's perfect for Hera's personality! She's always yelling at Zeus and punishing his lovers.
