Now for the journal-part of this psot:

I had to put that thing up there. It is a measurement of epicness. And I'm Flammable! >:D

In am currently eating oatmeal and watermelon. it tastes good. At least teh watermelon does. But I have to eat this stupid outmeal and go do the dishes and laundry. Oh, boy.

About yesterday:

Yesterday, after I stopped Blogging adn whatnot, Grandma and I went to this awesome, Fashion-Square Mall-like place. Finally, a real mall!! I felt like at home, instead of those hot, horrible multiple-story plazas I tlaked about in earlier posts, this was a true mall. So, while we were there, I got a couple shirts (a soft lavender adn a bright rasberry pink), a dress (I know this sounds unlike me, wearingn a dress, but this dress is awesome. Im going to wear it on teh first dya of school. Youll all see it then), and leggings (black leggings, perfect for everything. i lvoe them!) The mall was gorgous, adn Grandma and I had some good bonding time. Now I know how to use the metro adn bus stations by myself! Although I cant go anywhere because my phone vaporized. But I know where it is and Ill get it soon. :)

And so, the real 'adventure' was today. I went by myself to teh movies (movies here are the same as going to teh computer to check email here) and I saw this strange female Indiana Jones-esque film, which was originally French. I saw teh film (review will be later), ate some icecream, and because I wanted to go drink some mineral sirup later, I walked around my local mall (where the movie theatre was located - along with a grocery store, food-court, and stuff like that) in circles until I ate my icecream, proceded to teh mineral-sirup, drank the new taste for today (it was this green... thing. i have no idea how it tasted, at first i thought it was alchahol but then i realized that alchahol tastes much worse (dont ask me how i know - read my previous posts from january)) and i went outside to drink it and headed home. now, ive already read the newspapers in english that grandma got me (rather intersting newspapers, actually) and i was aching to start HP3, in Russian (since ive already read 2 and 5). And also, I wanted more sirup. So I looked around the small bookstore (its very small, with only one wall of books) and oh wow! No HP. But tons of fantasy: I saw Twilight (Sumerki), Vampire Slaters (Ohotniki za Vampirami) and stuff like that. But no HP. There were fantasy books all right, but they werent apatazing enough. *eats a forkful of oatmeal* This stuff is disgusting.

So I drank the rest of my sirup and trudged abck to teh mall. To get more sirup. And I got the same sirup. And then i officially headed home. And I made some outmeal and watermelon. And I got teh compter and put it on teh kitchen table. And so, here I am now. :)

Ive promised a review, didnt I?

The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blac-Sec

Rather good movie. About this woman, in her 20s, whos an adventurer Indiana Jones-like in 1911, I think. But not really. She just happens to have tons of enemies. In teh movie, we only see her have a true Indie-style adventure when she tries to find this mummy of a dead doctor. She has this old-dude friend who can make dead things come alive, and he livens a 135 million year old pterodactyl egg. So theres a pterodactyl loose on the city. And so we find out that Adele wants this mummy to be alive again because her sister, who has a pin in her brain and is still somehow alive, is nearly dead and she wants the doctor dude to help her. Only her old-dude friend is captured, and so she uses the pterodactyl to save him. Oh yeah, adn then theres this other dude, whos in love with Adele, who helps her with the pterodactyl, and thers the president of france, who Adele jumped on to stop the pterodactyle from getting him. And so, this hunter-ddue shoots the pterodactyl, and in turn, the old-dude almsot dies. Then the pterodactyl dies. And the old-dude dies. But his spirit or something of the like lives on adn it made everything 2 kilometers away be living, and so the mummy-dude, who really isnt a doctor, goes and tries to wake other mummies, hoping that thers a doctor between them. And then they make Adeles sister healthy again, and nearly everyone lives happy. The lovey-dude falls with Adele's sister, adn I think they have something going on. Newspapers are talking about wakling mummies, and stuff like that. Adele goes on a trip at the end, for a vacation, on teh Titanic. And so, the credits begin. :)

God movie. Slightly disturbing at parts, but still good. The graphics fail majorly. The acting suffers at some points, adn some points in the storyline make no sense, but in all it was enjoyable. Enjoyable. The thing I loved most was the mood of the film. If you guys seen Sherlock Holmes 2009, its kinda the mood of that film: gray, moody, but not to that extent that Sherlock Holmes had. This moodyness had flowers and feathers. I need to make some fanart of this film. The characters are hilarious. :)

So, while you all are enjoying the rest of your summer vacation (which is quickly coming to a close - wow, time flies!), remember me, and imagine what this new dress looks like. Have fun commenting.

Sincerely, Calli
(Help old ladies across the road!!)

Rossiya (cont.) + Fandom

So, I believe Ive ended nthe alst post with me going first into the Haunted Walk at my summer camp in teh dead of night adn dragging the second girl in line by the hands because she went so slow.

Yes. So. We went in. We saw the camp managers, lords and ladies (we were supposed to call them that) dressed in ghastly costumes. I remmber this bride wearing dark makeup and bloodstains running out of the bushes and taking me by the hand and yelling "TAKE ME TO MY HUSBAND!!" As I was first, all teh "evil spirits" came to me first. Joy. There was also this head. This guy just came down the path, dressed in dementor-like robes (im not kidding), holding a cut-off head by a bandage. The head looked like something out of Partycity covered in red paint or ketchup, one of them. So, it came towards us at a steady limping pace, I just hopped around it to the other side, and kept on walking, but OMGGPS!! The other girls were staring at teh Headless Dude and backing off. What IDIOTS!! Cant they see its ketchup?? And so I resumed my waiting pose, looking annoyed while they backed away, farther adn farther away, until teh girl behind me skrted around the Headless Dude adn glomped me. Joy. -----

Grandma just ncalled adn told me to do teh laundry adn water the flowers. 30 mins...

---Im back!

So, as said above, she glomped me. I taught Russians how to glomp. But one of teh girls, Catlin (in teh camp we were supposed to use nicknames. I picked 'Caltra' and was called 'Koltra' for the first few days T-T.), kept on firing insults at the spirits. "What a pretty head you have!!" "I love your dress!!" "Are those blood stains real?" She kept the other scaredy-cats in line and marching through the forest. AND SO, we got to this little girl, just sitting on teh path, hugging a panda-bear and combing her pigtails. She sees us, reaches her hand out, and pleads, "Take me to my mommy..." Catlin, in return, yelled, "HOWBOUT I TAKE YOU TO JUVENILLE PRISON??" (of course, dont forget that all this dialogue was in Russian). It was awesome. I nearly fell down laughing. But we got through the trail, and then, we had to get back to our building and go to sleep. And so, we had to walk on a path where, by teh smell of it, horses walked. That was probobly teh scariest part of the trail.

Erm, now, since nothing much happened, I got sick, laddiedada, My aunt picked me up from teh dacha and had me revitalize at her apartment. Thats where I got in touch with a true touch of videogame nostalgia.

HP2 videogame for teh PC. I last played it when I was 7 years old. And now, this year, I played it again. Some random moments in teh game, while I was playing it, I had flashbacks to me, sitting on the bed, watching my aunt fighting orange snails with "rictusemptra" and "flipendo!!" When I saw the cutscene where Riddle finds Hagrid, I had this flashback where I sat and kept on walking through them during the cutsene (at that part, it shows Hagrid adn Riddle doing things, and you, as transparent Harry, can walk through them and around them adn stuff like that). Then, during the Rictusemptra Challengs (every time you learn a spell, you need to have a challenge to prove your worth), when I saw the first enemies, teh fire-farting six-legged spider-turtles, I gasped. Because of those things I cut my cheek with a nail 6 years before!! When I saw Peeves again, I centered my wand on him and "splurge"d to heart's delight. When I looked over the Chocolate cards Ive collected over the game, I have moments, "I remember that one!! Shes hat girl who found gillywater!! Thats the dude whos roof fell in because of that backfired spell!!" Moments of true bliss. I remember the boss fight with Aragog, when I knew not to open that chest with "alahomora" because I remembered there was a hidden gnome in there. At this moment in the game, I'm in the Chamber of Secrets, with no Wiggenweld Potions (health-restoring potions), with 3/4 of my lighting bolt filled up (the lifes in this game are called stamina and theyre measured with lightning bolts and if you collect enough cards, you get lightning bolts added on) so theres only 2 hits before I faint again. And Ive saved RIGHT AT THE WORST PART!! And teh door just locked behind me. And there are two, extremely fast snails in front of me, paired with 2 Large Cornish Pixies, which require 2 hits each. HELP ME. Im deathly afraid of those snails!! Theyre fast... I eman, once they see you, the snails chanrge, adn you 'faint'. And come back 2 steps away from the place you died. But the snails... Theres this place near it, its like a pit, but its closed. I remember it, somewhere deep in my memory, how to get past this part... but at this moment I cant understand it. I hate snails. But the memory... I remember Tanya (my aunt) got stuck on that part too.

And so, yesterday, continuing with the HPfandom, I spent most of the day on Mugglenet. Because I wasnt on there so much and decided to have some fun. And oh boy, I did. I listened to all teh former MuggleCasts (including the one at Infinitus, or whatever its called) and now I ahve this huge urge to run to Florida and sneak into WWoHP. I just have to. EEK!! When my parents have their next conference in Florida, Ill beg for them t take me there. Even though both my mom and my dad are fed up with HP. >.<>:D

In other news, since it changes every day, yesterday I went to a Japanese resteraunt with Grandma, and we ate sushi. And meso soup. If thats how you spell it. And the meso soup was delicious! Yum, the tofu, the kelp, it was all so delicious!! Once teh sushi came, I was an animal. I quickly snatched a simple kelp-covered small roll with my chopsticks, dipped it in soysauce, and proceded to teh next while Grandma only opened her napkin, complete with a fork and knife. I taught Grandma about the soy sauce and teh ginger thing and which rolls are my fav (those simple ones - with only the little fish, rice, and kelp covering). And we talked. Now, since Ive learned to do as teh Romans do, we fight much less. Once I get back home, then Ill do things my way. Plus, Grandma doesnt need all that stress of fighting me. Now were more like good friends. And I showed that by letting her do my hair (into braids!! Ew!!), buying me a pistachio-colored tunic (which I like, except for that disgusting color. it fits me very well, and its soft and comfortable. but the color is just plain disgusting!), and eating at least a little bit instead of nothing at dinnertime.

And one of the major things I hate about this summer: the heat. With a capital H. So its more like Heat. Its arid, hot, humid, and it feels like the atmosphere is determinded to squash you into a human-colored pulp. Its horrible. I sweat so much that its unbearable when Im outside. And the absolute worst part is that most of Moscow doesnt have an AC. Now that sucks eggs. This weather is sortof like AZ, so its not that hard on me. Im used to being outside for a little while, then diving back into teh well-conditioned oasis of a building. But NO!! Moscow isnt used to this type of weather, so no ACs are found!! So its even hotter inside than outside!! My Grands, on the other hand, are smart people, who have ACs in the kitchen and in the living room. So I DO have an AZ-like feeling. Except when I go out to the store and whatnot. To get mineral water with sirup. :) I almost forgot to tell you guys about that.

Because of teh heat, vendors are getting business. In teh old Soviet days, there were these machines for mineral water (bubbly water, carbonated water, but I call it mineral water) mixed with sirup. Now, there are tewo machines standing not far away from my building at a mini-mall called Ladya (which means nothing, its just a word). I fell in love with those machines. They are exactly like those in those old Soviet films adn cartoons! I just pay 10-20 Rubles (about 30-70 cents) and choose my mineral water with teh sirup I like. I love the lemon version, double sirup. its so good!!

And so, while I have time, I'll go, take a walk to the machines, take a look at the stores, adn head back, through teh heat, to my oasis.

Hnm. This post seems much more cheery than teh last post. Anyways, goodbye misters!!

Rossiya

This summer I have had almsot no time to be on teh Internet. Oh well. Now, I have full days to be online, adn I will use those days to my liking. Yesh. Yesh I will.



So. I have been here, in the Moscow area, since June 14th. It was rainy, adn cold, and humid, adn I LOVED it. Now, the hot weather front has come, and its dry. Arizona dry. So it doesnt mater whether I'm at home or at my relatives, its hot everywhere. Joy. The grass in front of my building is all cracked adn yellow, similar to our cry, crackly, horrible Arizona grass. Its so hot that even the little creek that ran by my grands' dacha (forest vacation-home thing. similar to cabin in flagstaff)! So now, even out of the city its deathly.



So tahts wh I sit inside. Earlier this summer, my grandma got furious seing how freaking PALE I was. I like being pale. I dont want to ahve a tan, I like myself the way I am. And also, I dont play sports, so I have no excuse for being outside back home. So basically, I'm shut inside all teh time, adn to be honst, it suits me. I like being inside. And my grandma doesnt enjoy that. In the beginning of summer, we had so many fights ; clothes, tans, shopping, videogames, books. She obviosly forgot who I was over those 2 years we didnt see eachn other, or maybe I just changed so much.



When I lat saw her, I came out of my horrible 5th grade year, drained adn hopeless, but determinded to refill my awesomeinator adn dominate 6th grade. or at least get some god friends. And Grandma helped me then. She brought me back onto my feet, and pushed me so that I can soar. Now, its been two years. In those two years, Ive changed schools, changed voiews, changed friends, changed interests. Instead of that downridden preteen, I am now a confident teenager, determinded to make war (which I did. it was awesome. But later. >:D). You guys knolw Ive ahd a tough year. I got used to ahving friends all around me, adn now, in class, I was in the minority. I had the hyenas and my out-of-class-friends next to me, and their friendship carried me through. Thanks guys. So maybe I was a little down, but in all, I was faring much better than in teh summer of 6th. And I wanted to take Russia by teh horns. Too bad that didnt wrk out.



I came to Russia with an enflamed and somewhat-secret Harry Potter obsession (no, you guys really dont know how much stuff is hidden from everyone at home adn how open I am at school), a huge ego, and a stubbornness to do things MY way. Because that is how things will be. Thats the reason for my many fights with Grandma. I refused to do things the Russian way: I refused to eat at times (because I'm used to hunger: you guys know that I forgot my lunch most of the time at school), I wore what I wanted (no, Grandma, I will NOT wear that dress!!), and stuff like that. I'm used to being low-budget: I would not have my relatives buy stuff for me. So that started a little war. I just couldnt eat a lot, I cant stand wearing uncomfortable (for me) clothes, I cant look at people buying stuff for me. Its not what Im used to.



On top of that, not only have these fights been scattering in my brain, but also, Ive noticed things that have been in the background in my previous visits. Now, I can barely fit my head under the swing when I swing standing at the dacha. Has it been that long already? Everyone on the streets wears the same frown, same serious expression. Is it that bad here? Every second person smokes a cigarette, holds a beer bottle, or looks as if they'll break down any second. Do you know theres something else to live for? Those sunny individuals, those white ravens, pop out like stains on sheets. They look so alone, but everytime I see one of those rare smiles, I too smile. Those smiling people make my day. So far I have only seen one. People dont talk on the phone rapidly, laughing or gninning. They just walk to their next destination, focused, their brows wrinkled from worry. Its almost as if their personal troubles have to be forced onto someone else. Maybe thats just me. I'm used to something called 'customer service', where to get a higher rating you need a positive attitude. Im used to people pushing away their personal troubles to do their work well and cheery. Those ladies who sell vegetables at the market want to kill me with their hopeless stare. 'Why is that girl smiling so much?' My heartful 'thank you' slipped by their ears. I know for sure, that when my brother and I go to teh Yogurt Bar during teh weekend, we always smile and say hello to the cashier and she smiles and says hello back. Maybe she even waves. And when we leave, she says 'goodbye! have a nice day!' and my brother waves back, 'you too!' and both of us look as if we mean it. we want each other to have a good day. I am propelling her business; i want her employers to prosper, and she wants me to enjoy my frozen yogurt and come for more. Here, I smile, say hello, ask for what I want, pay, and expect at least a glance in return, but my thank you and gratefulness is forgotten. The cashier doesnt even look at her buyer. Talk about sad.



And there is a constant case of child corruption. I have met this great person. Shes fifteen, volenteers at a hospital, gets good grades... But she smokes. Shes a really awesome person. But she smokes. At fifteen. Her parents dont know, and she expects me to give in to her secret. Ive met the daughter of my moms cousin, Katya (Kate, translated). Now, this girl is gone. Shes way beyond the barrier and theres nohope of bringing her back, into teh world of logic and reasoning. Why do you wear so much makeup? The human being is already beatiful, already perfect. Do you really need that sweater? Or those flip flops? Or those jeans? In addition to that, she cusses like a maniac, poses like a model on Victoria's Secret posters (which isnt a compliment for those who are wondering) and dreams about a 'prince on a white horse'. She should meet Link sometime adn fall abck onto Earth. her brother, Andrei (Andrew, translated), is a great kid. We had this huge talk with him, his mom, my moma dn me, which was 4 fours long. We wanted to go to sleep, Katya fell asleep on teh couch-bed, Ludya (the mom) adn my mom (on an inflatable bed on the floor) started talking, adn since neither Andrei nor I could sleep, we joined into teh conversation. We talked about intelectuals, corrupted youth, worms that live in your eyes, the awesomeness of internet, those awesome things that awesome peopel talk about. So that night I made good friends with Andrei. Hes an really good kid. Except when hes with his sister. He becomes catty, rude, unpleasant, and then, they (Katya adn Andrei) ask me why I wont talk to them and hide behind "Battle of the Labyrinth" (which, at that time, I didnt finish and was desperate to get to the end, because now, I too ahve a soft spot for Percy and his friends in my heart). But that night, we talked for 4 hours. Until 4 in teh morning. It was AWESOME. At the end, the moms were going crazy, acting like me during an obsession-fit. Falling over, laughing, not making intelligent sounds, and the like. They were drinking WATER. I went over to Andrei adn whispered, "Imagine what theyll be like on alchahol!!"



*rereads her words adn laughs * I love you guys. I love each and every one of you. You, my dearest Basis-friends, have shaped me to become this person. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you thank you thank you thank you (ow my hand....) Yes I typed that all up by hand. Becuase I'm just awesome like that.



And onto otehr news: My awesomeinator is getting filled up. I got bitten by a dog, learned how to bake bread, and hummed "Buckbeak's Flight" while on my bike, cruising in circles around the village where my grands' dacha is. I love that song :) Now, onto happier news, or just news ("It changes every day, you see?" XD Sorry guys, I spent half the day today on Mugglenet. XD)



Erm, I went to summer boarding camp. Its kinda like summer camp but in boarding school. And I had so mcuh fun!! I learned how to weave friendship bracelets, found out weird facts about myself that I didnt know (thanks, psychologist!!), and got a virus. And a big one. I lay in bed for a couple days after the first week (I was in camp for 2 weeks) and it got ahrd for me to swallow. I got this infection in my throat, at one point, swallowing became so painful I was crying. I had my grandparents pick me up (their dacha isnt far away from the camp) and they called... er... how is it in english? When the person is so sick, they need emergency care...? Well, I lay in bed, with a huge temperature, crying, my throat was like needles were being pressed into it. I could barely sleep that night. I got better, slopped crying (my grandma was fighting to put my hair up in pigtails, so that my hair wouldnt mess wiht my breathing and i didnt like that because i wear loose ponytails. but i was too weak to argue, i just gave in.) afterwards sleeping was a pain because the pigtails were high adn i sleep on my side. so much for breathing. I got so many weird dreams that night. I dont even remmber them, but I remmber screaming out adn thrashing in bed so much that it woke up Grandpa. The next day, I read HP5 in Russian for nearly the whole day, as there was nothing else I could do. To my relief, I finished it nearly a week ago adn started HP2 (which is just plain hilarious, by the way.) Did you know that there is no translation in Russian for "chamber" so they used "room"? So basically, teh title is "HP and the Secret Room." My God. What a fail. I only have a couple pages to go before I finish it. Afterwards, I have no idea what I'll read. But my Russian vocabulary ahs picked up so well that English is becoming somewhat tough!!!



More: There is no known translation for "epic" or "fail" or "epic fail". When people ask me what it means, I say "no translation is nessessary for these epically failing words." Loooove me.



Oh yeah! I want to show you guys what a Gryff I am:: at camp, every day has a theme, and one of the days was "Halloween Day." Later, I corrected the camp managers, saying that there is no Halloween Day, there is just Halloween. As usual, none of them listened to me. oh well. But there was a Tropa Straha (translated: Path of Fright, But I like to call it teh Haunted walk. Because Haunted Walk just sounds better.) And so, my town (in teh camp, there is the camp, which is seperated into buildings, which is seperated by towns. My town was called "Tonicity." and it was 10 people + our leader, Lady Slavija) headed out to the small lake-thing by teh forest. In he dead of night. In teh cold. I had an excuse to wear my jeans (with teh blue pineapple belt!!) my keds, a long-sleeved shirt (it felt good to be wearing one) and my Hogwarts Jacket (which is just a black hoodie that has two oversized buttons and sleeves that end at my elbows. i want it to ahve a Gryff badge!!) And so, the 6 normal girls in our town (there are seven but shes a tomboy so she just ahngs with teh three guys) were told to go into teh walk first, into teh forest, lit by candles. No one wanted to go first, adn since no one wanted to, I just went first. I was chilled to teh bone and dreading whatll come, but I'm glad I went first. The person behind me went so slow, I felt like I was dragging her through the walk. Literally dragging. Anyways, the camp managers dressed up into weird costumes, lept out of bushes and literally tried to drag you into teh bushes. And if you went off the path of the candles, you got ------

\i ahve to run and go meet my Grandma at the metro station.I will continue this post later. For now, keep on rereading this. Turns out that my life is worth reading. :) Tchao/.

I REALLY HAVE TO FOCUS ON ANIMATION TOO. I HAVNT ANIMATED SINCE...... LAST MAY, WHEN I FINISHED THE PROLOGUE OF MIDNIGHT (WARRIORS: THE NEW PROPHECY: MIDNIGHT). AFTER I FINISHED IT, I TRIED TO FOCUS ON DRAWING. AND THAT'S HOW I CAME HERE.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT TOTALY SUCKS??

MY DEVIANT ART IS DOWN B/C OF THE BANNING I HAD IN DECEMBER, AL,KONG WITH YOUTUBE. SO BASICALLY ALL MY FAV SITES EXCEPT FOR BLOGGER ARE BANNED.

YEAH. AND I WAS REALLY LOOKING TO POSTING SOME OF MY NEWER PICS ON dA.

I CAN GO ON IT FOR LIKE, 20 SECONDS, THEN IT LOADS AND THERES THIS "VERIFY THE PASSWORD" THINGY. EW.

SO ILL START POSTING MEH PICS OVA HERE. AND I GUESS THATLL BE ALL IM POSTING.

EVEN THOUGH I LIVE LIKE LIFE'S A BLOG POST (YOU SHUD HEAR THE RANTING INSIDE MY HEAD AT TIMES) , I JUST HAVE NO URGE TO TYPE IT.

DARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*SLAPS THE MONITOR*

STUPID BLOGGER!! YOURE TOO ADDICTING!!

And now for the rest of teh blog post wher its like a journal. :)

Pre-comps. They went by unnaturally smoothly. I felt some nervousness, but I'm sure that I at least passed everything. :)

Me and Alice are singing Fairytale and Jan-Jan and Not Gonna Get Us (among other songs) in the van-=carpool on the top of our lungs, and the sixth-graders are so pissed at us cuz this "earo-junk" is annoying them and teh "repetitive nature of those lesian russian girls' songs" is too repetitive to them and that evolution "has too many sharp-edged electric guitar notes and its too fast" and "their voices are so processed!!!" Gawd, sixth-graders. T-T.

Anyways, this dude in my PE group talked with me about Blogs, and then I asked him who he thought I was, and he's like, "The Trilingual Book..." T-T. I AM MISSCALTRA. HE CONFUSED ME WITH THE OTHER DARIA. *headdeskheaddesk*

Anyways, Stephen, i iz MISSCALTRA. NAWT TRILI.

T-T. Anyways, Zelda Wii is, officially, the most-worked upon Zelda. I've had a couple mins to go on ZI. They're started working early 2006, and its said that they won't stop working on it until its "perfect". Oh gawd. The most workedupon Zelda was Ocarina of Time, best game eva. OMG. And UNTIL ITS PERFECT?? Should I also say witht eh addition of WiiMotionPLus, and MonsterHunterTri graphics, I hope it'll knock OoT off its best game eva pefistal. YEAH!!! GO ZELDA WII!!

And then My breo and I took teh Wii motes into our hands for teh first time this year yeasterday and today, playing Okami. Since we (I) got stuck on that sunked ship during winter break. Gawd, I was doing my bio hw (which i finally did with that new green felt pen I found near my locker) whiule he was playing, and then I grabbed the Wiimote, and totally did the whole dungeon, with teh ceepy music, witht eh crepy hand, with the overall creepy atmosphere, and I won it!! Gawd, before I could only look at the sunken ship, shiver, and go to another place in Okami. Yeah. But now I've also fixed that mist Sei-An City, gone through the emperor's stomach, and fought a battle with a talking sweord. Gotta love okaimi. And now I'm stuck on a minigame where its so freaking annopying cuz the person I'm trying to break the way through keeps on falling and dying!! dragh!!

But I'm liking Okami. Cuz I'm getting nearer tot eh part where Shelko is, and she's in teh Northern Lands. And I'm near to it, I know it!! The kids in Sei-An City were taling about it!! It must be soon!! I can't wait to meet the werewolves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAYEE.

So yep. ^^. I'm my usual cheery self again after I rant a little about videogames. :DDDDD

And no, Alice, I cannot be a Sagitarrius. I am a strict Taurus-Gemini mix, with te firmness and ideas of a Taurus and the talking and informative ways of teh Gemini. Hehe. Shelko is exactly teh same. I miss her. You know what, I'm gonna go call her. Ta-chao peeps.

ENJOY LIFE. HAVE HOPE FOR A NEW FUTURE. HAPPINESS AND BLESSINGS TO ALL.

:D

Closing down because of overwhelming-ness? I think so.

Yeah. I'm probobly gonna close this down for a little bit. As much as I love blogging, I just have too many things going on at this moment. You guys saw that I only had four posts in December, when we have break and not that many tests and stuff. Yeah. ONLY FOUR POSTS.

But I regret that I couldn't wish you all a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and a great Winter Break.

I also wished to tell you all of my experiences of Winter Break, but I don't know if I'm up to it now. But I will attempt it.

------------------------------------------------

I got bronchitis on wednesday afternoon before winter break started. I couldn't come to school on Thusday. In was feeling so horrible...... But I did catch up on some really beautiful things. I watched History of the World. Yes. The one my history teacher rants about. One of the best movies ever made. But I understand why its rated 'R'. OMLY A MIRACLE CAN SAVE US!!! Sri. I wuv quoting. ^^. I watched Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. It is such a beautiful. Its so beautiful, I started crying. Spirit was the movie of my hildhood. I never expected it to be so amazingly beautiful. Because it was. Guys, go and rewatch your favotite childhood movies. They are so beautiful. Go to YT. I know yoyu can find The Lion king in hugh quality, recorded from 'abc' there. Watch it. Then go and fin the soundtrack online. Its beautiful. Then go and search your parents' bookshelves for Pirates of teh Carribean: Curse of the Black Pearl. Watch it. Its beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Then go to the movie theaters and watch Sherlock Holmes. Then the next day, go and watch Avatar. Trust me, this will be worth it.

I somehow got well enough so that I could act as teh Snow Maiden in the Russian Festival/Play thing that my Russian Children's Center does every year. I had one of the main roles, luckily without too many lines, and there were no other people to do the role. I somehow made it through the night, and the festival was amazing. I really wanted to invite Trili over, since she invited me to so many things, I thought that manybe I could ask my mom in the morning on Thursday, give it to her on Thursday, and she would come. But I was out. I'm sorry Trili.

Yes. So I went through my days boringly, without much excitement, and then Christmas Eve came. There were two HUGE bags waiting under teh Christmas tree when my bro, my mom, and I went home from piano class. I knew not to touch them, but my dad came in and urged my bro and I to. Kirill opened his first, getting out an electronic ticket to San Antonio and back. I knew mom and dad thought that he isnt mature enough to fly on his own over there, and the bags were identical. So I knew that I was going too. But I wasn't as happy as he. Shelko and her family visited us for Thanksgiving. This is much too soon. As much as I love being with Shelko, I think that a month of waiting is too little. If I get used to teh fact that I am going to see her alot, the cahrm and fun of it is going to go away. Which is why I was such a wet blanket on Christmas Eve.

Another downer was the fact that my mom didn't let my brother and I amke Christmas lists this year. And this is the first year I actually knew what exactly I wanted, unlike the other years I made Xmas lists. I wanted an ocarina, zelda-style. And my parents hate Zelda. So I thought that hey, I might get some money for Xmas. Nope. I got something better. But what I didn't also like about the present of San Antonio... Its nothing but memories. Yes, they're supposed to be the things that are closest to your heart, but I'm just not feeling it.

----
I have completely no idea why, but as I'm typing this, I have this feeling in my face that I'm about to cry. I have no idea what this is about.
----

So at Shelko's, we had loads of fun. It would have been better if my bro didnt tag along. He always slowed Alya and me down. We wanted to gpo bike riding, but he tagged along and made me and Shelko wait for him endless times. Then, when we went back to the house because kirill needed to go to teh bathroom, we ditched him. We made it down to some woody area, and we explored it a bit, and we found a creek/pond thing. We walked towards it, and we saw a movement, and some fonds wavering, and the sound of hooves, and saw a buck running away from us on the other side of the creek. I wanted to go after him, to explore the area, but we went a little in, and then stopped. Shelko though that animals marked their territory; it smelled so bad, but not of poo. So we went abck to teh creek. And just stared at it. Have you guys ever had those moments when you're with a friend, you guys are doing something. Then you both go into a zone, and you feel this wonderful sanctuary feeling? We had that. Then Shelkjo stood up and threw a rock into the creek. 'I felt like that' she said with a smirk. So aI took a rock, threw it in. And when the splash was bigger, went 'oooooooh.... pwned!' She started laughing. And we just stood there, throwing rocks into the creek. Then I got a flat stone and threw it in. It skipped two times. I went into a victory dance-mode, and we were trying to make more stones skip. We both fail so epicly! Then I went on the other side of the creek and started throwing rocks at Shelko. She responded by throwing rocks that were bigger than her head. But we all missed multiple times. I got her once on the leg though, and she barely bruised my arm. It was one of the best moments we had with each other. Then, while she was searching for rocks on teh ground, she looked up, alarmed, and said in a weak voice, 'nature's calling!' And I looked away. Nature calls for her more than normal people, I think. But I won't comment more than that on this matter. We decided to hike a little more into teh forest after all, but then, because it was tgetting dark, we had to turn back.

One of the other best times I ahve with Shelko is when we have our Midnight Discussions. We had to sleep in the same bed, so we had the convienience top talk to each other until midnihgt. When we had those midnight talks, we had those good friendship moments that we dont have during the day. When we had those talks, she and i talked baout problems ad solutions in school and the like. She is getting dubbed 'outcast' in her school, and since I went through this as well, I give her some advice. And I remember a talk we had. I just remembered the feeling I got when I was watching Spirit again, and I asked her if she saw something so ordinary, yet when you looked at it again, you saw its beauty? She replied with a whole spiritual lecture on how 'that thing, it completes you, it FILLS you, its ADDS to your well-being, until you have a state of CALM, a state that you feel as if the worlds a SANCTUARY... and... and that.... THING.... it CALMS you..............' and she disappears into a zone where she is trying to find words to accompany her feelings. After a silence, I reply curtly, 'it just feels good'.

Gotta love those moments. She introduced me to this book called 'The Hunger Games'. Amazing book. Dictatorship. Illigal hunting. Killing. Love. The setory of Katniss Everdeen.

If you guys haven't seen this book or read it, you have no idea what a horrible life we could have right now. i'll go and find a blurb or a plot summary or something on the internet *searches* AHA!! I have foudn it on Wiki. I'll just copy and paste the whole page.

The Hunger Games (2008) is a young-adult science fiction novel written by bestselling author of The Underland Chronicles,[citation needed] Suzanne Collins. It was originally published in hardcover on September 14, 2008 by Scholastic.[citation needed] It is the first book of the Hunger Games trilogy.[1] It introduces sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world where a powerful government called the Capitol has risen up after several devastating disasters. In the book, the Hunger Games are an annual televised event where the ruthless and evil Capitol randomly selects one boy and one girl from each of the twelve districts, who are then pitted against each other in a game of survival and forced to kill until only one remains.

The second book in the series, Catching Fire, was published on September 1, 2009,[2] and the as-yet-unnamed third book is slated for release on August 24, 2010.[3][4][5]

[edit] Origins and publishing history

Collins says that the idea for The Hunger Games came to her one day when she was channel-surfing, and the lines between a reality show competition and war coverage "began to blur in this very unsettling way."[6] She also cites the Greek myth of Theseus, in which the city of Athens was forced to send young men and women to Crete to be devoured by the Minotaur, as inspiration for the nation of Panem; she explains, "Crete was sending a very clear message: 'Mess with us and we'll do something worse than kill you. We'll kill your children.'"[6] After writing the novel, Collins signed a six-figure deal for three books with Scholastic in 2006.[6] As of 2009, there are 500,000 copies of The Hunger Games in print[7] and 26 foreign editions;[4] rights to the novel have been sold in 33 territories.[8]

A paperback edition of the book will be released on July 6, 2010, ISBN 978-0-439-02352-8.[5]
[edit] Plot

The Hunger Games takes place in an unidentified future time period after the destruction of North America, in a nation known as Panem. Panem consists of a rich Capitol and twelve surrounding, poorer districts. As punishment for a previous rebellion against the Capitol, every year one boy and one girl, between the ages of 12 and 18, from each district are forced to participate in The Hunger Games, a televised event where the participants, or "tributes", must fight to the death in a large outdoor arena until only one remains. The story follows fatherless 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen, a girl from District 12 who volunteers for the Games in place of her younger sister, Prim. Also participating from District 12 is Peeta Mellark, a boy whom Katniss knows from school and who once saved Katniss's life by giving her bread when her family was starving.

Katniss and Peeta are taken to the Capitol, where they meet the other tributes and are publicly displayed to the Capitol audience. During this time, Peeta reveals on-air his long-time unrequited love for Katniss. Katniss believes this to be a ploy to gain audience support for the Games, which can be crucial for survival, as audience members are permitted to send gifts to the tributes during the Games. The Games begin with 11 of the 24 tributes dying in the first day, while Katniss relies on her well-practiced hunting and outdoors skills to survive. As the Games continue, the tribute death toll increases, but both Katniss and Peeta are able to evade death.

Supposedly due to Katniss and Peeta's beloved image to the audience as "star-crossed lovers," a rule change is announced midway through the Games, stating that two tributes from the same district can win the Hunger Games as a pair. Upon hearing this, Katniss searches for Peeta and finds him wounded. She nurses him back to health and acts the part of a young girl falling in love to gain more favor with the audience. The couple manages to outlast all the other tributes, so the Gamemakers reverse the rule change and try to force them into a dramatic finale where one must kill the other to win. Instead, they both threaten suicide and are subsequently both declared winners. After returning to the Capitol, Katniss must deal with the aftermath of defying the Capitol publicly. Her on-screen romance with Peeta also comes to a halt when he is heartbroken to learn that their relationship was all an act for the audience, though Katniss is unsure of her feelings.
[edit] Cover

The cover of The Hunger Games is black, featuring a gold bird with an arrow inscribed in a circle. Except for the addition of the arrow, this is the pin given to Katniss by the Mayor's daughter, Madge,[8] as the image matches the description of the pin that is given in the book: "It's as if someone fashioned a small golden bird and then attached a ring around it. The bird is connected to the ring only by its wing tips. I suddenly recognize it. A mockingjay."[9]
[edit] Critical reception

The Hunger Games was received well by critics. In Stephen King's review for Entertainment Weekly, he said, "Reading The Hunger Games is as addictive (and as violently simple) as playing one of those shoot-it-if-it-moves videogames in the lobby of the local eightplex; you know it's not real, but you keep plugging in quarters anyway", but also noted that, "Balancing off the efficiency are displays of authorial laziness that kids will accept more readily than adults", and gave the book an overall B grade.[10] Elizabeth Bird of School Library Journal praised the novel, saying, "Collins has written a book that is exciting, poignant, thoughtful, and breathtaking by turns. It ascends to the highest forms of the science fiction genre and will create all new fans for the writer. One of the best books of the 2008 year."[11] Booklist wrote, "Populated by three-dimensional characters, this is a superb tale of physical adventure, political suspense, and romance."[12] In a review for The New York Times, John Green wrote that the novel was "brilliantly plotted and perfectly paced", and that "the considerable strength of the novel comes in Collins's convincingly detailed world-building and her memorably complex and fascinating heroine"; he also noted, "Collins sometimes fails to exploit the rich allegorical potential here in favor of crisp plotting, but it's hard to fault a novel for being too engrossing."[13]

The Hunger Games has also received a number of awards and honors, including being a USA Today[14] and New York Times Best Seller,[15] and being named one of Publishers Weekly's "Best Books of the Year" in 2008[16] and a The New York Times "Notable Children's Book of 2008".[17]
[edit] Film adaptation

Lionsgate Entertainment acquired worldwide distribution rights to a film adaptation of The Hunger Games, which will be produced by Nina Jacobson's Color Force production company.[8][18] Collins will adapt the novel for film herself.[18]


Yeah. Its an amazing book. At first I hated it, because its the end of the world, theres a horrible government, and life is so unfair. The plot seems totally stupid, but its much better when you read it.
In the story, a dystopic Capitol requires its twelve subjugated districts to pay tribute in the form of a teenage boy and girl who are forced to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. When Katniss Everdeen's little sister is chosen in the lottery, Katniss volunteers to take her place. Although persevering through hardship is commonplace for Katniss, she must start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love in order to win the games and return home.

Behold, a blub. Be scared.

This book would be an amazing manga. Asolutely amazing. I would just love to illistrate it, but I know that I ahve too much on my hands as it is to add on this thing. But dudes, go to yoiur library, and read it. Its an amazing book. Itts so epic.

And....... so we came home, and we had this huge New Year's Party. I fell asleep halfway through, at aroiund 2 or 3 am. But I was jolted awake by the adults, who have decided to do kareoke. Also, when we ran out of fizzy juice for teh kids, my mom quickly gave me a little of adult champagne. I trid it I actulaly got it, and didnt take a little sip, but drank the whole couple tablespoons that were in my cup. OH. YEAH. Champagne tasted weird. Like.... something. But at first when I tried it and swallowed it, I had this horrible taste in my throat and mouth. I had to eat some duck (nicknamed 'the swan' by the adults when we were talking about how good the 'swan' tasted) to get it all through. But now, the taste is gone, but I want to try it again. I think my mom amde a mistake giving champagne to me when I'm at this age!!! XD!!

OHOHOHOHOHO!! I almost forgot! I got a haircut!! Here, I'll webbie it for yoiu guys::


















YTou can't really see anything, but its me. In LAYERS. 0_o. Yeah. My hair is now officially one-2 inches shorter than it was when you last saw me. Do I look younger for some reason? I think I do.

------------------------------------------

This is the end of this post. But as said before, I might be closing this down. I may just make one post a month or something. Why do you even bother reading about this? Its nothing intersting.

Well, I have to draw. I have so many things that I ahve to finish, and in 2 days were going abck to skl/ Ta-chao dudes!

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!

SICK/SUNKEN SHIP

Isnt it steange that i start all my titles with dull words and that are in caps? i really enjoy it. ^^.

So eyah. I'm sick. Woth bronchitis. And I ahvet his russian festival thing at my club going ona nd i ahve one of the major roels with no understudy. but ive been sleeping my face off for the last two days so now i can talk without chocking of my couphs. Yes. eveytime i move or attempt to talk, it comes out halfway, then is interupted by a couph. sigh. if i was ok on thursday, i could of invited trili over to the place. its just that since she invited me over so manyt imes, iw anted to do that to her too.... and now i see its too late. sigh.

so.................. im officially in tgeh sunken ship in okami and IT FREAKS ME OUT. thers ghosts that dont freeze when you hold the brush, theres a huge hand that threstens to cvrush you, theres a couple chests, and when you open them, there comes out this hand and it attacks you and the only way you can defeat it is use Roa's paper slips. at least the thing stops moving. T-T. and thers this ghost thing that when i went through it, i paused (witht eh celestical brush) and looked around, but t had lowered my ehalth, and its face was SCARY. THAT FACE IS GOING TO HAUNT ME IN MY DREAMS. and then when i went after it with the paper slips, it disappeasrd. sigh. i officially hate the sunken ship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So yeah. I hate teh sunken ship. Its only teh fourth dungeon in the game, but its so annoying and scary it reminds me of how ppl felt when they played the shadow tempkle in ocarina. did that feel the same way? i dunno. but i am sure not playing teh sunken ship without someone looking over my shoulder and calming me down.

and so, i must show you some of meh fav msuic. thats russian. or englsh. i dunno.



This si from a Russian version of Cinderella. This si the song of Winter. Winter is a woman, eblieve it or not, and she is the one who amkes Zolushka pretty. And this si ehr song. Its quite long, but still pretty. "Zima" is winter in russian, so i know you find it somewhere int ehs ong. (it repeats itsself over and over)



This si another song of the thing, and its Zoluska's song. This is basically teh theme of the movie. Isnt Zolushka pretty? I love her as a person. ^^. And DO NOT BE FREAKED OUT BY THE MAN-WOMAN. Its her sister. In the movie. But its a famous russian singer. But its a man who, to create an image, dresses up as a woman. Yeah. Crazy. But his songs are so awesome. Especially "SMSochka". SMS is what rushans use instead of "texts"

OH YEAH EUROVISION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




oH YEAH I HAVE GOTS LYROCS FOR YOU GUYS!!! FALL IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG, WHO EARNED A SECOND PLACE TO.... *ITS COMING UP LATER*...

You say you really know me,
youre not afraid to show me
what is in your eyes
So tell me about the rumours
Are they only rumours?
Are they only lies?
Falling out of a perfect dream, coming out of the blue.
Is it true?
Is it over?
Did I throw it away?
Was it you?
Did you tell me you would never leave me this way?
If you really knew me
You couldnt do this to me
You would be my friend
If one of us is lying
Theres no use in trying
No need to pretend
Falling out of a perfect dream, coming out of the blue
Is it true?
Is it over?
Did I throw it away?
Was it you?
Did you tell me you would never leave me this way?
Is it true?
Is it over?
Did I throw it away?
Was it you?
Did you tell me you would never leave me this way?
Is it real?
Did I dream it?
Will I wake from this pain
Is it true?
Is it over?
Baby did I throw it away?

Oh wow, look at that huge stage. To see it better, click on teh HQ version. Its better. Isn't she pretty? But wait..... Is iceland even part of europe?? But then again, Armenia, Israel, and Turkey were allowed to aprticipate too..... And Armenia is one of my other fav songs. ^^ It brings a ytear to my eye on how beautiful it is. Today.. no yesterday, when I was watching "Spirit" cuz I was sick, all of a sudden, it all came to me, and al of a sudden I ahd a ciough-cry fit. It was all so pretty! And beautiful, and nostalgic....... Too bad. I feel like Vincent van Gogh, who found beaty in cabbages.

All The Streets Of Love

If I were salt you would be white sand
If I were sea you would be high tide
If I were the sky you would be a cloud in it
If I were a star you would be the charming
If I were night you would be its light
If I were daylight you would be the moonlight

I’m the voice of the heart
I’m an open letter to the world
I’m the mirror of emotion
Of your deep look.
I’m complete
In a second
I give my body
Like a lover
I’m the time that doesn’t pass
When the lonely feeling
gets a hold on me

Kiss the sea the wind and the moon.
I’m a sun
in naked snow. In all the streets
of love
You’ll be mine and I’ll be yours.

Isn't it overly happy? Its so happy and everything! And its aboiut love. Aty first I thought it was about spring. But what do I know. But tis beautiful. Yes, tis it is.




How can I stay?
When you are away.
What can I say?
If you gonna tell me nothing.

How can I smile?
When you are alone.
How can I be without me?

Without me we cannot be
Cant you see?
We arent free,
Fixed like a tree
To the holy ground
With my sound
Gotta be always around
I wanna dance dont you stand
Sister, give your hand.

Everybody move your body
We are dancing NOR PAR
Everybody must be ready
Jumpin up with the NOR PAR

Par garunqi,par tsakhkunqi,
Mets huyseri,
Nor kyanqi nor par,
Pare parqi,
Togh hogin govergi,
Mer lerneri,mer dzoreri pare chi mari:

Hey,ari pare parenq,
Ari,ari jan jan,
Hay parerin jan asenq:
Ari yar,Ari jan jan:

Jumping up
Jumping up with the NOR PAR

NOR PAR
NOR PAR
Let the music make you raise your hand
Sister, here we go.

Everybody move your body
NOR PAR, NOR PAR.
We are dancing NOR PAR .
Everybody must be ready,
Jumpin up with NOR PAR .


OMG THE MOST....... WELL, ONE OF THE MOST EPIC SONGS OF THE UNIVERSE. ITS A LITTLE SLOW, BUT HAPPY ENOUPH.



The Balkan girls, they like to party
Like nobody, like nobody

It's time for me to unwind
I'm gonna start my weekend with gin tonic and lime
My girls take me for a ride
Ready to party and looking so fine

I wonder if beyond this
There could be something better
'Cause I feel so good tonight
Don't wanna end this night

The Balkan girls, they like to party
Like nobody, like nobody
(the groovy light will shine all night)
The Balkan girls, they like to party
Like nobody, like nobody
(the groovy light will shine all night)

My hips are ready to glow
This record is so hot and I have so much to show
I'll find a boy for a kiss
Who knows, maybe he'll be my prince

I wonder if beyond this
There could be something better
'Cause I feel so good tonight
Don't wanna end this night

The Balkan girls, they like to party
Like nobody, like nobody
(the groovy light will shine all night)
The Balkan girls, they like to party
Like nobody, like nobody
(the groovy light will shine all night)

(You've gotta live your life...)
If you need to find out
What love is about
And if you're a lonely baby
Just open your mind, you're one of a kind
You've got to live your life...

The Balkan girls, they like to party
Like nobody, like nobody
The Balkan girls, they like to party
Like nobody, like nobody

The Balkan girls, they like to party
Like nobody, like nobody
(the groovy light will shine all night)
The Balkan girls, they like to party
Like nobody, like nobody
(the groovy light will shine all night)

BANNDMENT GOING EVEN FURTHER

Oh yeah. Its going even further. Yesterday, while I was atempting to finish my english on the comp, but didnt, my dad walked in and saw me on the comp. I think he was the Internet (Firefox) window, and decided that since "she's doing this, I better rempove Firefox". And so, today, when I wanted to go and check out just ONE teeny pisode of Shugo Chara, check my email, see what ppl are posting about, the netword is coincidentily not working. Gotta love Firefox. I knew this was because of the thing yesterday, but I understoof that I hae 2 internets:: Firefox and Explorer. So now I'm writing this on crappy explorer. Do you guys know how much I hate explroe? it has no style, no value, no use. I hate it. While firefox..... dudes, there's SKINS. Talk about epic.

So now, new poll. Should I confront dad about my loses from the comp and ask why he's doing this?

I I do, I'll leave in tears and resort to hiding under my bedsheet. If I don't, I might as well say goodbye to Firefox and YT forever. T-T. Good for me. But then, he might just be doing this temporarily, until after teh hyoludays...... for various reasons......... m I need a poll. T-T.

A week and a day.

A week and a day since I last posted. Or just a week. I don't know.

This is why I love blogging. Whenever I want to know what happened on a certain day, I just open up my blog and see what I was ranting about. This really helps, because, I have a memory problem. I remmber totally useless stuff and forget importand things. Like I remember the day that I first became obsessed with Tokyo Mew Mew. April 17th. It was out of skl. Around 6 PM. Dang I am GOOD. Bu I forgot what a covalent bond is. XD.

I ahve to say I can't be on miuch during the holidays. My family, as we are uber-russian, we are really huped during the holidays. My mom is the organiazer for this holiday russian thing at RCC, and so shes all over the palce. And since this era is the era of the matriarchy, my mom basically is why the whole family is all over the place at December (is that grammatical?). So yes. Today I have to finish this greeting card desighn for my mom so that she can buy the greeting card on dA and send it over to all our friends all over the glabe. Yeah. And so I started it in the morning, I had to go, then I came back, and the G-pen wasn't working right! and so I told that to my dad when he walked into my room, and he's all like, time to install Bamboo? My dad bought me this ultra-pro tyablet in teh summer when my fiurst problems with the G-pen started appearing. And so NOW, in DECEMBER, he decided to install it. So far I'm likin the Bamboo better. ^^.

And so now, I'm redoing the whole pic. Because now the pressure, the lines, the quality, and the undertanding of Photoshop are different. I'm so happyu!!!

And that's not the only reason!!!! THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBEAN IS OFFICIALLY ON TEH EPIC LIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!



AND MY ABSOLUTE FAV OF THE SOUNDTRACK:::::

i WUV KUKAI! hes a skaterdude, really awesome...... hes just so epic. Anmd then, there's a number two on my list of fav guys from Shugo Chara::






















OMG. ITS A CAT-GUY. Whenever I see him, I ahve this urge to just yell out OMG ITS IKUTO!!!!! DAH ITS A CAT-GUY!!!!!!! HES GETTING PETTED!!!!!!! HAHAHAAHHA

Yeah. I love it in Book 5 when this observatory-dude pets him. Its hilarious. Pipi and Bluey were sitting by me and I was like, showing them teh pages while attempting to finish my pizza. It was hard work. But then again, it was Pipi who lent me the book and Bluey who refuses to lend me the 7th one because I havn't read the 6th. They keep on saying, READ THE SIXTH but I'm like YEAH TELL THAT TO MY MOM WHO REFUSES TO GO TO THE LIBRARY SINCE ITS DECEMBER!! Yeah. This is how far the holidays go.

And so yeah. Life is wonderful.

But my posts will be getting shorter and less frequent. Go and read Musey's blog. She's getting better at posting.

MY NEW QUOTE WHICH I ADAPTED FROM POTC::

"you're mad!" (this is you)
"If I wasn't this wouldn't of worked!" (this is me) *does some mad thing*
