Ive been rereading the Warrior Cats series lately, and Im just going to rant my thoughts here while I reread the forth book on BrowseInside. You know what I hate? The fact that the fourth book wasnt at Borders when I was buying the series. Because I am rereading it right now and it is amazing, full of suspicions about the main character, an old enemy, tough things...
Like the fact that Fireheart is now deputy.
By the way, spoilers beware. Oops.
Like, I only have the third and fifth books of the original arc, and in the third he BECOMES deputy and in the fifth he's settled in the role. I see Ive missed the fourth as a stepping stone between those two... periods. I love how awkward and stuttering and alhkeglkshgfhksn OOPS Fireheart is... How everyone both respects him because of his discoveries and kinda suspects him because his ceremony was a day late. Not only was it late, it was rushed. SO! His whole, like, deputyship is ruined by Bluestar's mistake. :D I love Bluestar's insanity. Especially how she was suuuuch a great, strong, beautiful character in the beginning, and she eroded to this frail, wounded, insane and delusional old mangy cat. Again, because I skipped over the fourth, I missed the stepping stone between 'delusional' and 'insane'. Idk what it is tho.
OMGGGG THE NEW WARRIORS SERIES SUCKS EGGS. So much.
Like, I love the characters. Especially Lionblaze. Great character. He needs a bit more flaws and personal troubles though. Jayfeather is an interesting character, but his storyline is unfolding a bit too slow for my liking.
However, the storyline SUUUCKKKSSSS. Fireheart -- OOPS Firestar isnt this great hero, amazing warrior as us oldie fans know him as. He's getting old. Mousefur is an elder - Firestar is getting old too. For Pete's sake, the senior warriors were the youngest cats in the Clan when we first met them! Sandstorm, Dustpelt, Graystripe, and Firestar are all what remains of the warriors in the original arc who are still fufilling warrior duties. Thats... just so... ehlgtkhwskhrfleksghs
I hate it when I must accept that Firestar's reign as Clan leader will DIE.
Also - I could care less about the new things that the Clan are using. Like, wtf do they have so many characters whose names I dont even recall? Blossomnose, Bumblefeather -- who made this up?? Too many useless characters! Maybe ThunderClan was always supposed to be this size (after all, when the readers were first introduced to it it was suffering from underpopulation), but really? I wish they had a population problem again. I wish that a ton of the useless cats would die. Of course, some of them could be kept, but come on! I actually cared for Frostfur and Goldenflower and Willowpelt! I dont even remember the names of the warriors - THE WARRIORS - of the new series! DFGLKHFKEHF
I thought that the series was going back to it's roots when Jaypaw's (yeah, back when he was Jaypaw) story, on how he was investigating the Ancient Cats and the histories of the Clans and those cats who lived at the lake before them. That seemed like such a GREAT plotline! Imagine - blind medicine cat Jaypaw, searching for clues on cats that no living cat remembers! What a GREATTTT plotline wasted!
Also - forbidden love. Wth. It was amazing, touching, bawl-worthy when it happened between Graystripe and Silverstream. Now it's just -- REALLY DOVEPAW? REALLY? NALKGHLFKHLEKSH
Im glad she got away from that idiot in the end though.
Although I was starting to like his character.
NYAAAA
That was for no reason. The new series SUCKS.
However, I read the prologue and the first four chapters of the new book, and the prologue sounds extremely interesting. How does the Tribe survive while implementing Clan ways of life? Patrols were something new to the Tribe cats, and I love how Stoneteller gives up on his ancestors. Great plotline there. XD
Another thing that jumped out at me -- I thought Spiderleg was dead. Actually, he wasnt. Whatevs. The new series sucks. ALSO. Why are the Clan cats constantly trying new things? Like, everyone present aprticipates in discussions on what should be done, while in the old series, this stuff went around in whispers, in places where no one except for the cat listening could hear. Like, all of a sudden Brackenfur and Dustpelt are the Clan's best builders? Since when did cats build stuff? *imagines anthro warriors * IT DOESNT WORK. Sure - cultures work. Clan rivalries work. Religions work. Phsycic powers work. BUT DUSTPELT THE BUIIILDER DOES. NOT. WORK.!
Now Im going to return to reading Rising Storm. Ill return soon.
---
Nyaaaaa Fireheart's misgivings about Bramblekit are so awesome. Since I know he will later become his mentor, his leader, his predesessor on the deputy throne-thing... NYAAA
I love how even though Tigerclaw's gone from the forest, Fireheart is scared of looking into the eyes of his son. NYA.
But then of course, he was also scared when Hawkfrost leaped out of RiverClan reeds. Because Hawkfrost and Tigerstar look so alike, nya.
----
Oh My GOOOOD I love Cinderpelt. I loved her before too. But I just love her SOOO much. And how she hass to lead Fireheart out of all his anxiety, since that's her duty as his best friend, how that Graystripe's gone. Oh boy. I love you Cinderpelt! Hahahhhahaha Fireheart cant cope with deputy duties... this is what I love about his character. He's so flawed. He's too impatient with everyone, has no sympathy when he doesnt want too, and has the unfortunatality (lol word!!) of being too curious so he find himself in all sorts of secrets and trouble and stuff. :D
---
1) The drawings for the chapters are so much better than the ones in the new series. So much better!
2) I still have to get in into my head that Yellowfang is alive.
---
nYAAA J'adore Fireheart. Hes just so funny. What a great main character. Hes so lovable. And adorable. And ferocious. The perfect main character. No wonder none of the books after his were as good (although the New Prophecy was decent because of Brambleclaw -- hes so cute!! He's like that hot shy guy in the corner who you just want to hug because hes so awkward!! NASAAAAA)
Yeha. Totally NASA.
---
God, he takes so much time to settle into his leadership duties. Like, he was issuing rapid-fire orders in Forest of Secrets and he was saying things without even looking at the cat and the cat would obey, but now NYASAA SOO AWKWARDDSSSS NYAAA FIREHEART NYA
---
OH MY TIME LORDIE I MUST GET THIS BOOK FROM THE LIBRARY NYAAA
---
B'aw. Runningwind is still alive. :'3 I forgot he was dead, he was such a minor character. But still he was cuuute in my mind's eye. And I remembered his name. I even made up a character sheet for him! :D But i still dont know the name of the modern ThunderClan warriors.
---
oMG I do no remember this part when I was reading it a couple years ago. OMGOMGOMGOMGOGM NYA. Fireheart is finally getting praised for his works! ABOUT FREAKING TIME!
---
My God. Mudclaw said 'Go home!"
XD
---
Mmm! Ive realized another reason I dont like the new series! StarClan are showing themselves to be confused and disorganized and unholy, which is quite different from their image as the great warriors of the past. StarClan, in Fireheart's time, were impossible to reach, and only for the medicine cats and leaders to understand (which is why Fireheart is an exception). Now, it seems like everyone is getting dreams from them. Also. It seems nowadays that StarClan has nho freaking idea what it's doing, while in the old series we knew that they planned everything out before it happened - after all, they gave dreams to Rusty back when he was a kittypet.
---
D': The BrowseInside ended. I guess this is a sign I should go to sleep. Or check the net if there's a full copy of the book somewhere in cyberspace. Tchao monseirs.

Update? Six days is a rather long time...
Nearly a week., eh, since I posted, eh?
Note: "eh" is a Canadian stereotype which I love. Xtina says that she has to restrain herself from doing that. XD
Hence the update.
Bad news: Ive found a new obsession, the old 2004-2007 TV cartoon, Danny Phantom. Its all Elisio's fault. She was talking to me on Saturday and it was late and I was bored and I really wanted to check it out so I watched the first ep and got hooked. Really hooked. So hooked I had three hours of sleep over 48 hours. Fail much? I think not. Sadly, I was unable to pull an all-nighter. But I went to sleep at 5. And 5:30. I feel proud of meself. >:D
Good news: Im much more calm, not as obsessionist with Hetalia.
Bad news: More people are watching Hetalia now, and they are kinda afraid to let other people know since they do not want to be associated with the so-ccalled 'obsessionists'. Fail, people, fail.
Good news: my epicmeter has been at a stable rate, an average level, since Halloween. Yesterday I finally sang and danced in the cafateria, as usual, singing some song that was obviously awesome. Cuz i wudnt sing unawesome stuffschszhz.XD I spelled that so awesomely.
Bad news: Now I tell bad puns at random times.
Good news: Im getting closer to Bluey, since now Im 'sane' because my epicmeter has been at an average level.
Bad news: Caroline and Bbj think Im ditching them for Bluey, but we're all in the same class... Idk how that happens. I sit by Caroline most of the time anyways. I only sit next to Bluey in Physics, bu Kaitlyn and Caroline in econ, nobody in math and history, Taylor in chemistry, Caroline in biology, Xtina in french, Caroline in english, emma in art, and thats it. :/ This all just leaves me confused.
Good news: Im tired adn I want to sleep.
Bad news: This post is over. Stay awesome. :3

Report cards gone wrong?
Report cards.
A basis' student's worst nightmare. Unless you know youve done well.
Which I know I have. I miraculously got some good grades (who knew that actually paying attention in class and doing homework can do you good?), mostly because I learned from my multiple lessons last year. Now I actually study for those tests Im worried about (thanks Pete!), I do my homework and turn it in on time (thanks Clark!), and I pay attention in class (thanks Davison!)
Surprisingly, mom was pretty fine with my grades. She knows Ive been slacking off at the end of the trimester, and that's the reason why all my B+ are not A-. 0_o. But strangely, these grades are ver good in basis, and some of my proud failure friends are really mad at themselves, their teachers, their parents, the world.... etc etc.
*sigh* I guess my work has paid off.

Its the CIIIRRCLEEE OF BUSINESSSSS
ITS THE CIRCLE OF BUSINESS.
AND IT SURROUNDS US ALL.
THROUGH RECESSIONS AND BOOMS.
THROUGH FAITH AND RISK/.
I TRULY DONT KNOW.
Every single Thursday that my mom picks me up from my art class, she stays and talks with the teacher, Lena, about the art business, my mom's business, economy in general, immigrants, virtues, ideas for future income, and how this generation (aka, ME) will be affected by it. The above conversation is VERY interesting.
First they talk about the students and work that the women do. Lena is having a pretty tough time now, because her students are leaving: her old, artsy students will stay with her, her ish-ish students will probably take a leave, the new ones will stay for a while or leave, and the rest are undecided. I happen to be in the old students.m ;) But her other, non-tight students are leaving. Since summer, nearly a score has left. Because of an issue in the spring (too many cars were coming and leaving at her home, because the art school was in her garage, and the neighbors complained to the HOA, and so Lena needed to get a rent to a studio), Lena now has to pay rent for an EPIC studio. Im not kidding. The studio is one of my other homes. Its that awesome.
---My throat hearts. *goes and takes ice tea from the fridge* Ah, thats better. Hey, Xtina, you dared me to go a day without tea, remember? That's the day I woke up 2 hours late for school, missed my zero period, fell asleep in history, bombed the math test, and got in trouble with Ms. deLisa for loitering in the hallways (with Alice, of course, because we always loiter in the hallways when we're bored during study hall). ITS ALL IN THE TEA MON.----
And so they were talking business idea: what they can do that can get them some profit and what they can do. Lena began talking about things that made perfect sense to me: I would gradly fulfill some of the duties for her. She's doing an open house for her studio some Sunday; Im not sure when. She has tons of ideas, but she needs to advertise. That's where I come in. She can use her website to promote business. This makes absolute perfect sense: our generation, us, and those mothers a little older than me, never look into a newspaper or a bullitin. We always search on Google or in the local magazine (I always read my Grayhawk Flight) or we ask around, correct? Lena has an outdated website, she's working on teh magazine, and asking around isn't enough anymore. And so, she needs to fix up that website. She can't really hire a stranger to update her website for her, its much easier for her to communicate in Russian, not English, and she wants to benefit someone that she knows. ;3 Yours truly is here to help! I know some html, I speak Russian, and I need money to pay back my parents for that trip to Japan Im taking with the International Club in the summer (EKEEEK I CANT WAIT I WAS DOING THIS [LINK] DURING CHEMISTRY RIGHT BEFORE THE HUGE TEST WHEN I HEARD THAT BBJ AND MUSEY ARE ALSO CONFIRMED FOR THE TRIP. IT WAS AWESOME. I WAS TRYING NOT TO LAUGH DURING THE TEST XDXDXD.)
And so this Sunday I will be awesome and I will improve that website with the somewhat-fail-html skillzzzz I have!
http://www.dropsofrainbow.net/
This is the site. I feel too lazy too hyperlink it. >.< My brother is watching a new Scooby Doo movie behind my back. I wanna type this somewhere else. I am now in my brother's room while he is in mine. Irony.
And so they [Lena and my mom] talk about who is willing to pay, and who they can get, and which communities, and why, and etc etc. Btw, this may feel offensive to some people, but then again, Im making fun of myself as well as the rest of the world here, so bear with me. They come to Scottsdale residents, the Americans. The traditional Americans have one stay-at-home mother who is either stressed or greedy. Lena had a couple incidents where she had to print out all the check given by a woman to show her that she didn't pay for her child's art lessons for the month. Then they talk about the ethnic groups who are living well and also are a good market. They talk about the recent boom on teh Polish population, the large Indian population, the wide European market, the South Africans... Strange how immigrants are more... thankful for what they get than the native Americans. I wont press any more on the issue. Just think about it.
What was I talking about? I was in the middle of chatting with 2 friends [Xtina and Av], commenting on Av's *new* post (about time, Av), looking through ten-min challenges on YT...
I dont remember. My foot fell asleep.
Im going to end this post. Xtina is complaining that I take too long (do we act like siblings? that's what Alice says when we start fighting). Av is slowly updating on my October posts. BAH THEYRE CHATTING AGAIN!!
GOODBYE FOLKS! STAY AWESOME!
*STAY HAPPY*

Halloween was effin amazing
It was. It was amazing.
What was amazing? Halloween night. Trick or treating. Friends. Singing. Akwardness. It was epic.
LIKE A G6.
We (I, Pipi, Alice, Bbj, Bluey, Linky and Sej) met together around 5 (I came late because my mom was baking a torte for my dad's bday, which is on Halloween. this is why I dont get a normal Halloween any year) at Pipi's house to T&T. Most of us were countries: I, BBj, Alice, and I guess we can accept Bluey and Pipi (blues was a fem!Japan and Pipi decided she was British Columbia - she was wearing an Asian looking thing, and since BC has a very large population of Asians, she decided so.) Alice and Caroline were there first, and we kinda hung around outside until I went to change, and then we hung around with America (ME :D) and Lichtenstein (Linky). Anita and I did weird things, Xtina (pipi- I feel like using her other name now) and Caroline(linky, but its easier using this) just hung around, took pics of us, I went daredevil and explored the outside of her - Xtina's - house. Id rather not specify exactly which weird things we did. >.< We were just weird. But because we did, the whole night was corrupt. To the fullest. Sej, Bbj, and Bluey came later. Bbj had an amazing closet cosplay of Sealand she could basically be a professional fem!Sealand. Sej and Bluey just kinda came in costumes, sej wearing a vampireishscary costume, and Bluey wearing a sinthetic kimono. She looked good netherless.
I should really be sleeping right now. Ill continue this in the morning. I didnt do any of my huge pile of homework - Econ short answers, English essay, math problem set... oh boy. And I didnt feel like doing any of it. >.<
I need my sleep in order to not die tomorrow in school. Lol, wearing a wig, glasses, and an army military makes you a totally different person.
M&Ms are now a food almost as obscene as bananas. But theyre hilarious too. XD
Good night folks. Or morning. Or day. Idk. Ill continue this later.

Html, Stars, Pictures, etcetc...
This post was supposed to be happy: I was planning on writing it a week ago, when I first got my 'official new job,' writing HTML codes for my art teacher's website to update it and whatnot. Ill be practicing HTML on the way while posting this as well, btw, in order to practice. Life was going excellently: I did well on my first couple trimester exams, it got colder outside, blah blah.... I felt the need to psot a happy-post. Unfortunately, i couldnt bring myself to sit down and type it. Turns out blogging isnt as easy as it was a year ago. I cant believe that a whole year has passed since I posted about my amazing Halloween in Denver with my relatives. Ive changed so much since then... I feel like a more dynaaamiiiiiccc character now, compared to my stockness before.
Continuing, this week as 'Spirit Week' at basis. It was awesome, though I officially dressed only today, the last day. We had disney day, decade day, college, formal, ending with the most awesome day of all: costume day. The Friday before Halloween. I, keeping my word since August 28th, dressed as a Hero: AMERICAAAAA!!!
Once I get pictures from my friends Ill post them on here. ;) Alice was China, Pipi was a Canada, Bbj, unable to recieve her Hungary costume on time, wore last-year's costume, a pirate (whom we called 'Neotalia Pirate!Iggy, cuz we're awesome like that), linky wore a long blonde wig with a black dress adn called herself a 're-done-Lichtenstein', and Aarthi wore her last-year's kimono (and we called her Neotalia Traditional!Japan, cuz were epic like that) In total, Alice Pipi and I were boss. To say how boss we were, we got recognized by some upper-schoolers, took pictures, blah blah. I was told that, in my wig, I made a very attractive boy. So much that Sophia and Taylor wanted to ask me out to the Halloween dance tonight, but then recognized me.
---OMG IM BREAKING THIS BUT KIRILL DECIDED TO COME IN AND GIVE ME THIS CHOCOLATE EUROPEAN EGG WITH A TOY INSIDE AND I LOVE THEM AND OMG IM PEELING OFF THE FOIL AND ITS AMAZING AND OMGGGGGGGG---------
Yes, as so I felt boss: sweaty, itchy, dirty, but plain boss for most of the day. Of course, I wuda been even more so, but Ive been getting more and more sick this coming week, so much that it hurts to yell and scream like I used to, adn when I try, I end up sounding like a dying old chicken. No joke. I have witnesses.
But my wig was perfect (a bit too messy, Nantucket-nonexistent and with a small uncorrectable mohawk, but perfect otherwise), my bomber-jacket was nonexistent, my military outfit was actually my dad's old army uniform (with a sewn-on US flag where his regimen name was and pins covering the Russian lettering on the front), my shoes were also dad's (I accidently took the new shoes which he bought the night before to wear to an appointment today, but I took them, and I was so uber-careful to wear them all the time to avoid scratches and bumps and spills and whatnot), my glasses' lens fell apart in French right before the fire-drill (but I put them back together successfully!!! >:D), and I got mistaken for a guy insane-amounts of times, but thats ok. I was America, I got hugged by random Uppoerschoolers (cuz Im AWESOME), got photographed (not as much as I wuda wanted, but enough netherless) by random Upperschoolers, got asked out 2 more times as a guy than as a girl (lol, Ive NEVER been asked out before).
Lol I just found this on the internet. Ah, dear Internet how we love youuuu.....
XDXD CONTINUING!! I got to see Alice much less today, which definatly mad ehte day mucho more dull. Its much more fun meeting someone who asks, 'Who are you?' and answering 'Im America!' and the person next to you says 'Im China!' than just going 'Im America!', ya know?
Anyways... NAWWWW ITS TIME FOR BED. OH NOEZ.
Continuing, this week as 'Spirit Week' at basis. It was awesome, though I officially dressed only today, the last day. We had disney day, decade day, college, formal, ending with the most awesome day of all: costume day. The Friday before Halloween. I, keeping my word since August 28th, dressed as a Hero: AMERICAAAAA!!!
Once I get pictures from my friends Ill post them on here. ;) Alice was China, Pipi was a Canada, Bbj, unable to recieve her Hungary costume on time, wore last-year's costume, a pirate (whom we called 'Neotalia Pirate!Iggy, cuz we're awesome like that), linky wore a long blonde wig with a black dress adn called herself a 're-done-Lichtenstein', and Aarthi wore her last-year's kimono (and we called her Neotalia Traditional!Japan, cuz were epic like that) In total, Alice Pipi and I were boss. To say how boss we were, we got recognized by some upper-schoolers, took pictures, blah blah. I was told that, in my wig, I made a very attractive boy. So much that Sophia and Taylor wanted to ask me out to the Halloween dance tonight, but then recognized me.
---OMG IM BREAKING THIS BUT KIRILL DECIDED TO COME IN AND GIVE ME THIS CHOCOLATE EUROPEAN EGG WITH A TOY INSIDE AND I LOVE THEM AND OMG IM PEELING OFF THE FOIL AND ITS AMAZING AND OMGGGGGGGG---------
Yes, as so I felt boss: sweaty, itchy, dirty, but plain boss for most of the day. Of course, I wuda been even more so, but Ive been getting more and more sick this coming week, so much that it hurts to yell and scream like I used to, adn when I try, I end up sounding like a dying old chicken. No joke. I have witnesses.

Not a Happy Wednesday
Today was definitely meant to be a happy Wednesday: I woke up on time, slept a good amount, and woke up again, once again at a good time (dont ask me how this happened). I wore the colors of Canada, red and white, with my Canadian tuke (beanie) that my parents brought home from their trip to Vancouver this summer. I pinned my 'Canada' pin onto my Hogwarts jacket in order to feel truly awesome. In addition to this, Gilbert (another name for Alice/Anita) and I vandalized Brist's board, Canadian themed of course, after school the day before. :) It was meant to be an awesome day, which it was for some parts.
No one wore Canadian colors that day except for Caroline, who wore dark red and off-white on whim, but I didnt care. Turns out that red and white arent colors people can find in their closets. :/ I ate 3 doughnuts (or is it donuts?) in the morning during art, when we were doing critiques of each other's works (we went outside and using charcoal, drew something. I drew a saguaro and the mountain behind it, with a blurry weird thing in front which looks cool.). I probobly sounded arrogant since I didnt find as many mistakes in my drawing as others did, but who cares! I truly didnt see anything wrong, except the mountain which I overworked in the background. But my drawing has a real contemporary look which not many had. Other drawing were epic tho: this girl made her branches absolutely amazing, with her gradient-like lights and shadows, others had incredible detail and non-cactus subjects, and this dude was drawing these flowers in incredible fairy-like detail. Those flowers were amazing. Physics passed epically: we watched a video of this bridge falling apart and wriggling as if it was rubber (ITS INCREDIBLE). Now, whenever we see something wriggling weirdly, we say, 'just like the physics bridge.' I didnt eat the fourth donuts I took, instead saving it for later (I ate half in both English and History).
Chemistry passed weirdly: I found out we had a quiz on precipitation adn I was absolutely freaking out. I almost didnt finish the test on time, yet I still got a 82, which is EPIC by my standards. An 82!! Can you believe it?!? And I didnt even study!! XDXD But I know I have to study ALOT to get a good grade (a B or higher) on the Chem Trimester Exam coming up... >.<
For some reason Im not sad anymore because of this song:
http://www.aimini.net/view/?fid=Jh90Be9PA4m4Gn04fZhf
I hated this song, but while typing this I needed a pick me up AFJ-style so I found this... thing. I ahted WDC World Dancing before (I mean, really? An 80s beat? Fail.) but right now, because of its slow tempo, I felt that it was hte song I could write an emo post about. But alas, I was wrong. AFJ is an overly happy guy that makes me feel happy too. :) Alfred, I love you. <3
Washi-iington DEEECEEEE, DEEECEEE, OH OH!!
Well, the point of this post was to be all emo and fail, how much I failed at being an AFJ, since our personalitites are supposed to be similar, but I get it that Im much too timid to be America. I care about what other people think, even though I wish I didnt (I remember events in 4th grade where I embarrassed myself profusely and find myself hiding my face involuntarily in whatever I find), I have horrible leadership skills if I ahve to lead people who arent my friends (Ive tried - it never works), I would much rather sit in peace and not make trouble - although I do get really worked up and I do make war when Im ticked off. Its always in your best interests not to tick me off if you value your conscience. My 'long' temper does not last that long (ask my town members at Euroclub - I made war on the day before I left, being the absolute most Gryffindor/America I could think of. I literally fought for race equality. My passion for it got to such levels I was elected mayor for the day the next day - but unfortunatly I left sick adn was too weak to carry out my duties).
I was in such a bad mood during the van ride home I didnt talk the last few minutes to avoid making my bad mood inflicted on Gilbert and Mattie (Alice and Xtina). They were having a great time. They were friends for an incredible time. I was alone, sitting in the corner as they enjoyed their PruCan moment (since it was also act-like-a-fanfic-day. this was a horrible idea because alice and i were supposed to be fighting over xtina, but I understood that I jsut dont have the awesomness that was meant out of my character - the US and Prussia were meant to be in equal terms of awesome, but in different styles: America was supposed to be overly positive happy, which Prussia is supposed to be the 'Im-awesome-youre-not' type. Too accuratly our personalities are personified. But the thing is, I get beaten down real easily because III care too much about world opinion, being hte idiot i am. During debates, words dont come out of the mouth teh way theyre supposed to. Stuff doesnt work the right way, or I just end up looking like an idiot. I guess thats the problem then. The bad thing is that I kinda get it into my head, that I look like an idiot and immediately stop fighting. *starts crying out of... something* I just stop fighting. And it annoys me because I know I should still be up there, still trying to prove my point, but my ideas dont come out correctly, and... I dont know. But thats when I just loose my feeling of epicness adn I want to wallow in the dumps and listen to a depressing song adn nom and nom until I feel decent. Which is what I basically did today. I started crying when I was walking from the van station to home, adn when home, I didnt ring the doorbell like I normally do. I just opened hte door with my key and decided to walk in unnoticed. my lunch box started leaking earlier that day, so I quickly ran to the abthroom and started wahsing my lunchbox while crying and ranting inside my head how I should change my character and blah blah blah and how Ill type it up and regret it later, and more idiotic ideas... which I tried to type up here but got distracted by teh awesomness of the Hero: Americaaaa!!
Then I understood that this post had no use. And I have no use for it. But alas, I must post it so I shall. It would be weird to just wallow up in despair: now I have an awesome song to listen to, a white chocolate bar that is almsot gone (MMM WHITE CHOCOLAAATEEE!!!), and a feeling of happy equilibrium.
I have a certain degree of respect for the 'popular' group at school. They dont care what others think, they have no idea, or some idea, about what others think of them... I sorta respect them for that. Im too... something to be that. Ive tried. But the only place I can do that is when I ahve support from my friends - this is the reason I was failing at being a leader last year. Sure, I was the sortakindaalmostish leader of the hyenas: but thats nothing. ah well. This is a different year.
I now understand why people want to go to another school. In basis, our status, friends, title... everyhting is determined already. Those who have fallen want to escape it. The school. It was nice in Russia during the summer, where no one knew what I was capable of and hte only prejustice held against me was my American accent and origins. Aside from that, I was free to do waht I wanted and be who I wanted: the American girl who was positive, leader-like when she knew what she was doing, loud, obedient to the counselors she liked, impulsive, naive, hording, etc etc. I kinda want to be that person again. Alas, that is not possible. :/
Heh. Turns out this is an emo psot after all. Ive stopped crying tho. And Im ready to search some more fanfiction about the awesomeness of America to boost up my epicmeter.
Ive just realized that none of this psot explained what Im emo about. Whatever. Oh well.
HAVE A FUN WEEKEND EVERYONE!!!
Keep on eating pasta, be an Austrian aristocrat, watch for UFOs and Tony, love the whole World. Because....
CAN YOU FEEL IT?
ITS THE WHOLE WORLD.
AND IT TOTALLY LOVES YOU.
:D

29 Gifts
Ive recently read an amazing book my the name of 29 Gifts, a book about how a challenge made a woman diagnosed with a horrible disease turn her life around. Ive just finished this book, and have decided to join up with the site that was in the book and I want to join the 29 Day Challenge. The challenge goes as this:
My synopsis: You give mindfully, fully, for 29 days, never missing a day, to see change happen in your life and the lives of those around you. You dont forget a day, you dont give without reason, resentfulness, absolutely fully and openly.
The synopsis from the book flap (which Im copying right now):
Also, I want to change the community in which we live in. In the book, Cami had become more social, happy (oh, I feel as if this word is becoming overused nao), deep... You get the point. She had created a movement centered on giving - And I have now joined it.
This movement is centered on this site:
http://www.29gifts.org/
This site was talked about on the book, and the design was also spoken of, and not little. I imagined the design with a tree and a bird: and I found out that that tree and that bird actually exists: as well as Cami and Mbali and Mark and every other person who existed in the book. Its amazing.
These people started a movement geared towards giving and receiving, but in the resentful, ambitious, courteous way: giving from the heart and from the soul.
It way sound a little... unbelieving at first, but remember who youre reading this from. I am an avid follower of many spiritual exercises, such as The Secret, wabi sabi, and now I shall join in with the 29 Gift Challenge. Btw, bury me with other spiritual stuff in the comments below if you feel like it. :) All of these processes, such as the Secret, ahve helped me and many others so much in life. If you dont know what the Secret is, go Google it or something. I highly recommend watching the movie or reading the book though. The Secret for Teens and The Power are also good. The Secret and wabi sabi have worked for me, and I choose to try out another way of thinking. I can never have too many ways to happiness. :)
Also, I find that I have a rather large impact on my community, my table, the people at school with whom I interact with. If I change my way of thinking to the positive, grateful way of thinking, which includes giving small gifts from the soul, other people will latch on and spread the word. I believe in this ripple-effect. After all, obsessions work the same way. Shelks on Buzz got my friends and me accicted to Hetalia (and the addiction has not waned yet - were still reading history books like fanfics), and sooner or later, the 8th grade knows which songs were singing during lunch and what those characters we draw on teh board mean. Or somewhat mean. At least nthey knows it Hetalia-related (oh, and btw, Brist will watch Hetalia tonight and tell us the verdict on it tomorrow. Who else's esxcited?? XDXDXDXD). Sure, some people oppose this ripply of fangirldom, like those sticks and stones in a pond. But sooner or later they will join us too.
I know that this will change my life as I know it. Starting with tomorrow: Day 1 of the 29-Gift-Giving Challenge.
Stay bright and strong everyone!

My synopsis: You give mindfully, fully, for 29 days, never missing a day, to see change happen in your life and the lives of those around you. You dont forget a day, you dont give without reason, resentfulness, absolutely fully and openly.
The synopsis from the book flap (which Im copying right now):
Then, as a remmedy for her condition, Cami recieved an uncommon perscription from a friend, an African medicine woman named Mbali Creazzo: Give away 29 Gifts in 29 Days. "By giving," Mbali told her, "you are focusing on what you ahve to offer others, inviting more abundance into your life." These gifts, she said, could be anything, but their giving had to be both authentic and mindful. At least one gift needed to be something she felt was scarce in her life.This book is amazing, and every story I read about it seems amazing, and even though Im already living a pretty bountiful and happy life (no, really, look at my previous posts), I dont feel that therse a limit to happiness (this also relates to a wellness magazine I read not long ago... No really. All the magazines in my house are either wellness or travel :/). I believe that this challenge will increase my happiness even further.
Also, I want to change the community in which we live in. In the book, Cami had become more social, happy (oh, I feel as if this word is becoming overused nao), deep... You get the point. She had created a movement centered on giving - And I have now joined it.
