12:25 pm	Eee! D&D Quiz! I Am A: Chaotic Good Elf Ranger Druid Alignment: Chaotic Good characters are independent types with a strong belief in the value of goodness. They have little use for governments and other forces of order, and will generally do their own things, without heed to such groups. Race: Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently concern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance. Primary Class: Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy. Secondary Class: Druids are a special variety of Cleric who serves the Earth, and can call upon the power in the earth to accomplish their goals. They tend to be somewhat fanatical about defending natural settings. Deity: Solonor Thelandria is the Chaotic Good elven god of archery and the hunt. He is also known as the Keen Eye, the Great Archer, and the Forest Hunter. His followers respect nature, and only hunt when needed, but are quick to defend the forest from intruders. Their favorite weapon is the bow, and they tend to be extremely talented with it. Solonor Thelandria's symbol is an arrow with green fletchings. Find out What D&D Character Are You?, courtesy ofNeppyMan (e-mail) Awwwwww... In the detailed results, it shows that I tied for elf and half-elf... I'd rather have gotten half-elf! Oh well. It got ranger and druid in there, so that was good... But chaotic good? I'm not sure chaotic good is correct. Current Mood: cheerful Current Music: None? (Comment on this)

11:53 am	Voice from the Past Holy blessed mother of earth.... Duncan just looked me up and sent me a message on myspace. I cannot begin to express how ecstatic I am right now. I haven't heard from him since the year I moved out to California, which is mostly my fault, since I am absolutely terrible about writing letters. But he sent me a message, and I am so incredibly thrilled. He was by best friend for years. I feel like I'm on a caffiene high, my hands are actually shaking. I almost cried, I'm not sure I'm not going to. Wow. Wow to the infinite. Just... Wow. Ok, I'm going to go... do something. Just felt the need to announce my incredible news to the universe at large. So I've sent a note back, and can't wait to hear from him again. This is just the coolest thing ever. Also, I just came back from spending Thanksgiving at James's grandmother's house. Which was awesome. I got to meet some more of his family, and he surprised me by making an atlatl for me before I got there. Didn't get much writing done, but I got to spend time with James, and that makes it worth it. *Smiles* And I got a thanksgiving steak! Aren't I spiffy. All in all, it has been an awesome week.

9:24 pm	Day Eight I'm starting to feel that annoying sense of slowing. I haven't gotten much done the last two days, and I'm afraid I'm losing my momentum. I know I shouldn't worry, since it's only day eight and I'm already at 38,162 words, but... I'm still afraid I'm not going to finish the story by the end of November. I'm sure I'll get the word count, but... I'm not sure how to finish the story. I'm also afraid that in my rush to finish, I'm not doing it justice. Or that I'm not really as good at this as I thought. Gaaaah. Too much thinking, not enough writing. Someone kick me so that I stop with this self doubt thing. Gaah. So, in any event, the group has finally reached the Court of the Gods, and are being introduced to the Divine people. Current Mood: anxious Current Music: 24, Jem (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:44 am	YAHOO!!! 30,000 words! *Dances for joy* It's Day Six, and I've passed 30,000 words! Of course, my story is still in it's "intro" phase, and I'm kind of wondering if I'll be able to finish the story by the end of November, especially since I still don't actually know how it ends, but... HUZZAH! 30,000 words on day Six! *Dances* Aren't I just the spiffiest? But I'm enjoying my story. And James agrees that it could be converted rather readily into an epic movie series, since it covers large spans of time, and has massive coolness to it. And I'd get the whole controversy thing once people realized just what god I'm accusing of being an evil malicious entity bent on world conquest and universal domination. So, yeah. Go me. *Dances some more before going back to work* (Actual word count as of 10:44 AM, 11-06-05: 30,111) Current Mood: accomplished Current Music: Hung Up, Madonna (Comment on this)

2:48 pm	AAAAnnnnnnnd on That Note.... ... Let the procrastination begin! A time honored part of the NaNoWriMo tradition, finding something shiny to play with five minutes after swearing to sit down and write. So heeeeeeeeeerrrrreeeeeee it is! You scored as Captain Jack Sparrow. Roguish,quick-witted, and incredibly lucky, Jack Sparrow is a pirate who sometimes ends up being a hero, against his better judgement. Captain Jack looks out for #1, but he can be counted on (usually) to do the right thing. He has an incredibly persuasive tongue, a mind that borders on genius or insanity, and an incredible talent for getting into trouble and getting out of it. Maybe its brains, maybe its genius, or maybe its just plain luck. Or maybe a mixture of all three. </td> Captain Jack Sparrow 100% Lara Croft 88% El Zorro 83% Batman, the Dark Knight 79% Maximus 79% The Amazing Spider-Man 71% Neo, the "One" 67% William Wallace 67% James Bond, Agent 007 63% The Terminator 54% Indiana Jones 54% Which Action Hero Would You Be? v. 2.0 created with QuizFarm.com Current Mood: amused Current Music: Coin Operated Boy, Dresden Dolls (Comment on this)
2:01 pm	NaNoWriMo! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! November is here, it's NaNoWriMo! (For those of you who don't know yet, NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month). So, I'm going to participate. The goal of people participating in NaNoWriMo is to write a 50,000 word novel by November 30th. I started my story Tuesday, November first, purely coincidentally, and then, when I realized what day it was, and that my story could count, since I started on the right day, I went YAY! So I'm working on it, and looking forward to every bit of time I can get to write. I want to finish this year! So, I'm going to update with my word counter stuff every now and again, mostly as motivation for myself, but also in case anyone out there actually cares (unlikely, but hey; my journal!). So here's my first word count post thingy: As of 11:30 PM, November Second, I had written 12,917 words. So, on day two, I had acheived aproximately 25% of my goal. So I'm feeling pretty good about my chances. I'll post my new word count this evening, when I've had a few uninterrupted hours to work on it. My goal today is to write a further 6,000 words, putting me at approximately 19,000. Wish me luck! Current Mood: artistic Current Music: Better Days, Goo Goo Dolls (2 Comments |Comment on this)

9:59 am	Snicked from Elspeth/Lisa Music Title Prophecies: Go to your whatever you use to listen to mp3s and shuffle songs. Say the following questions as you're about to start, and after each one, skip to the next song. Use the song title as the answer to the question. 1. What do you think of me, iTunes? What's Going On, A Perfect Circle Cool. Confusing, or modern protest. 2. Will I have a happy life? Major Tom, Travoltas How scary. Will I have a happy life? No, you'll get catapaulted into space to drift forever and have everyone assume you are dead. VERY cheerful. Of course, it could also mean seeing/knowing things no one else can see, depending on how you define the song. 3. What do my friends really think of me? Pretty Girl, Sugar Cult Oh, yay! That would be cool, if the song weren't like, depressing... 4. Do people secretly lust after me? How you Remind Me, Nickleback Umm? Is that a yes or a no? 5. What does [James] think of me? When the Lights Go Out, 5 Hmm... I'll refrain from commenting. 6. How can I make myself happy? I'm only happy when it Rains, Garbage So... Move to somewhere rainy? 7. What should I do with my life? Toxicity, System Of A Down Umm... Okay.... 8. Why must life be so full of pain? Nobody Wants to be Lonely, Ricky Martin and Christina Aguillera Wow, I didn't realize I even had this on here... And it makes sense, Kinda. 9. How can I maximize my pleasure during sex? Slutgarden, Marilyn Manson ... ... ... I have no response to this. 10. Will I ever have children? Californication, Red Hot Chili Peppers Ohkays... So, yes? 11. Will I die happy? Not the Nicest Guy, Lordi Umm... So no? 12. Can you give me some good advice? It's the End of the World, R.E.M. Well, that's cheerful 13. Do you know where your children are? Headstrong, Earshot Ummm... So, wherever the hell they want to be? 14. What do you think happiness is? Do you have a little time, Dido Huuh. Oddly philisophical, for a music program. Current Mood: worried Current Music: Well, a lot of things (Comment on this)

You have at least three computers at home. You own at least one domain on the Internet, probably several. You think it's normal to see chip-design software or relational databases advertised on freeway billboards. You know that California isn't just one big beach. You know that not everyone in California surfs. You know there's lots of skiing in California. You know your rotating outage block number at home and at work, and listen for them whenever there are rolling blackouts. If someone refers to "SunnytogaDeAnzavale Road", you laugh and know what they're talking about. You take your out-of-town friends to see the techie gadgets at Fry's. But you don't let them buy anything. You know how to recognize re-sealed returned electronics at Fry's. You don't ask the staff any questions at Fry's. You know they hire idiots and pass the savings on to you. You watch dot-com boomers go back to the states they came from, and the traffic gets better by the month. But you are home so you're not moving. You own a Sport Utility Vehicle and have never taken it off-road. You wouldn't know what to do if you tried. Same with all your friends. You don't know how to drive in snow. You're a road hazard when you visit the mountains. You think the horn and middle finger are essential driving tools. You think bicycles don't belong on the road. You think any car ahead of you doesn't belong on the road. Your out-of-state friends are impressed at how much money you make... until you tell them how much you pay for housing. You know that a "fixer-upper" home could cost a half-million dollars. You do a "California stop" at stop signs. And you think it's only Californians who call them that. You aren't bothered much by earthquakes because you're ready for them. But the thought of tornadoes and hurricanes terrifies you. You clearly remember where you were when the Loma Prieta quake hit. You know several funny stories about swimming pools in the quake. You can't recognize a thunderstorm without seeing lightning first. You cringe when a Southern Californian refers to highways like "the 101". It's just "101". No "the". You call low clouds "fog" even if they're hundreds of feet off the ground. At least once you have gone to San Francisco for the day wearing shorts and a t-shirt because it was a warm clear day in San Jose. And you froze your little *@#!% off in the fog, drizzle and wind. You say you're from Silicon Valley because no one knows where San Jose is. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Silicon Valley.

10:07 pm	Time flows forever, even when we don't want it to. It's been a long, long, LONG time since I wrote here. I probably should more often. It seems like this is one of the few ways I can still get in touch with people, since everyone has scattered on the winds of fortune... but alas, I have little motivation to write, to reach out. I have coccooned myself in a static world, trying to deny the fact that time moves forward. It's not all bad, in my little world. It's not all static. I have the world's best boyfriend. And I mean that in a totally objective way. James is great. He's smart, and funny, and even though I don't think he knows it yet, he's an artist, a craftsman, at heart. His hands are capable of a kind of magic that is so rare now, it's amazing. And he listens. But he doesn't just sit there and give me the "I'm paying deep attention," look that we've all perfected due to years and years in public schools... He talks. He advises, he sympathises, he rants, he gets political, and philisophical, and he has a depth that he refuses to show to the public... It makes me feel so honored that he shares it with me. (And also, he's a gamer, and he knows Star Trek, which makes him So beyond cool...) So James is good. We celebrated one year in September... I've never had an anniversary before. I've never been with anyone who could stand me, and who could hold me, for so long. It's strange, to feel like he actually loves me. Like he accepts my passions and furies as well as my pleasantries. And I love him. It's simple, in a strange way, and infinately complex... It's so close to perfect, yet not there, never perfect... It's wonderful. He's my puzzle piece. My partner. I'm babbling, I think. So moving on. Despite how happy I am when I'm with James, I'm incredibly lonely sometimes. He's a friend, and a love, but he's not all of my friends. And I haven't seen any of them in so long. I barely speak to them, almost never hear from them... It hurts. I don't know if it's all my fault, if I just... gave up on trying after a few...disappointments... but I know it's at least mostly my fault. I'm not the easiest person to live with. And when I get burned once or twice, I pull back. Even if it's not reasonable. Even when I know it's not what I percieve it to be. But hope isn't a strong force for me, and I don't want to take the chance of finding out that it DID change. That it IS as bad as I think. So I hide. And I immerse myself in the certainties. And I miss James. My parents are... well, parents. And I don't have a dorm to retreat to, or the money for my own place. My job is good, it's kinda fun and I'm Good at it... And I like it, kinda. School is ok... Archery makes me feel like I'm successful, and strong, and capable... It's kinda funny, how my PE class is the one that actually gives me a feeling of success. Scarily enough, econ is fun and interesting and I enjoy it. It's very wrong. I like my two online classes, I'm enjoying learning new programs... Of course, I need one class a quarter that sucks the soul out of me, and this quarter, it's psychology. My teacher is the worlds most boring person. He uses his therapist voice in class, and those of us with something between our ears besides cotton fluff are bored to tears. Of course, I get to share my woes with a very nice young man from my archery class, who makes his own arrows and shoots like a serious pro, and he's cool, and I wish I knew his name. Cause I could use a friend right now. But whatever. I miss Loki. I haven't seen him in a while, and it always made me feel special when he'd visit. But he's got his own life now. That's what happens when you let go... You know it's what's good for the one you love, you know it's what they want, what they need, but... It doesn't prevent it from hurting when they spread their wings and fly away. Even when it's litteral. So, I've been rambling, and Amber is eating my computer bag, and must be chastised, so I'm going to go. Gahh. Current Mood: depressed Current Music: In too deep, Genesis (1 Comment |Comment on this)

On Mondays and Wednesdays, at one thirty, I have Argument and Persuasion! Yay! That lasts till three ten. I may, depending on the bus schedules, be able to visit LAHS for some wednesday lunches now! OMG, this weekend was the best ever. I went to Monterey with James! I got to meet his Grandmother, which was excellent. She's really cool. Also, she makes Excellent food. The cheese dip was Sooooo addictive! James helped out and did some yardwork Saturday, which was fun to watch, and then we watched Gettysburg. Sunday we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We saw the shark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's a four foot, four inch long Great White Shark, and she's CUTE. We also saw penguins, and jellyfish, and and and... Lotsa stuff. And I got to pet some rays, and two small, cute little harmless sharks. And mostly I got to spend time with James, which was just so much fun. Spent some time with James and Kes last night as well. We went out for dinner, since James's class got cancelled and he was free. There was quite a bit of discussion about the passionate romances going on in my salad plate... Until, of course, the entire wedding, families of the bride and groom included, were devoured. *Shrugs* I had nothing to do with it, I swear. In any event, that takes us to today, where the event of the day was a set of seizures in my Creative Writing class... Two people collapsed in seizures; one at one o'clock, the other at one o five. It was very very very unsettling. So I'm doing a bit of work now and watching the season premier of Gilmore Girls, which I love. So Yah, all in all its been a good last week or so. *Smiles* I'm happy. I'm really very happy. Current Mood: amused Current Music: Gilmore Girls on the TV. (Comment on this)

9:29 am	Well, Yesterday Sucked. I had my star party Saturday night, and for anyone who wasn't there/didn't hear about it, I'm sorry, send me your phone number and I might be able to find you next time. The party itself was fun, we made s'mores and slept outside and remind me that we aren't doing that again unless I manage to find a way to temporarily waterproof my lawn. Had some fun counting shooting stars and the like... People took off early, probably because I didn't remember that some people actually eat in the mornings... I need to remember if people spend the night, feeding them in the Morning is important. Next time.... Lisa, Kes, and James stayed until around noon/one, and then Lisa went home and Kes and James and I went out to lunch. Probably not going to volunteer for indian food again, but it was an experience. Went and looked at birds and swords, which was nifty (and convieniently in the same shop). Then the trouble started. We went back to Kes's, which, y'know, not a problem... Until this guy she's rather fond of and we are, say, not... (James had let me see one of the bokkens, and it was all I could do to not use it as a nice club) shows up. Kes immediatly finds her way into his arms, and then is upset when she's mildly ignored in favor of a discussion about swords and practice weapons. Now, please understand, that YES I was damn well trying to ignore her! If I Hadn't, I'd have beaten the guy to a pulp, and I don't Care if he's probably able to defend himself. And after I'd beaten him, I'd probably have given her one small but painful tap for being so exceptionally thoughtless... I mean, if she's not going to consider how I feel, she could at LEAST consider James's feelings... Putting us all in a tiny room and expecting us all to play nice was Foolish, and very unkind to Us. So then she and he go off to repark his car... Which I find very awkward since now James and I are kinda sitting around in her house without her, which is like.... now what? And my folks call and say I need to come home, this is after ten/twenty minutes of her absense, and James is supposed to be home at some point, and he is my ride, so we leave. It wasn't Our fault she wasn't there, we thought she'd gone off to park a damn car! Shouldn't take thirty minutes, and we couldn't delay for the sake of saying goodbye if she maybe doesn't come back for another hour... So then I have a long discussion with my mom, because my mom can tell when I'm angry, and she essentially tells me I'm being an idiot and she's not going to let me chew myself up for the sake of someone else's self destructive habits... And I agree. I've lost sleep, I've lost wieght(Which, ordinarilly, I wouldn't complain, but it's all through stress, which is unhealthy), I've made myself SICK bending over backwards to try and help every time she gets herself hurt, and... what is the result? She jumps right back into his arms. So, whatever. I'm done with it, and I'm annoyed she was annoyed that we had to leave and she had taken off! I'm just feeling very misused at the moment. However, the star party was good. I think I'll try another similar party sometime... Once I get that waterproofing of the yard down.

7:16 pm	Yay! You're Alaska! You're big, bulky, and extremely wild. At the same time, you're rather cold and standoffish, even a loner of sorts. Taming you may be one of the last great quests of the people who do manage to find you or even seek you out. So many of them just want to plunder you for what you have of value, but there are a few, the ones who will stick with you, that truly value your rugged remoteness. As long as no one is spilling stuff on you, you are truly beautiful. Take the State Quiz at the Blue Pyramid. You're Watership Down! by Richard Adams Though many think of you as a bit young, even childish, you're actually incredibly deep and complex. You show people the need to rethink their assumptions, and confront them on everything from how they think to where they build their houses. You might be one of the greatest people of all time. You'd be recognized as such if you weren't always talking about talking rabbits. Take the Book Quiz at the Blue Pyramid.

5:47 pm	Well, yesterday was my eighteenth birthday. It was fun. very... quiet. I'm an adult now... its scary. and surprisingly unremarked-upon. My parents are freaking out about it though... Almost as much as I am. I got a starbucks card, a glass butterfly, a videogame, a candle, and a necklace for my birthday! (Thank you, Lisa and Elspeth!) So... That's all I've got for now.
