Twould be, twould be

This twould be a sad day indeed if I hadn't of woke up and looked at the clock. Tired have I been almost all day and I'm not exactly sure why; I got more sleep than I usually do last night. I almost fell asleep as I was writing the written response for the Social Studies MEAP and I truly thought about taking a nap during Math when Mrs. Zimmer said that we could take a nap if we wanted(after we'd finished our tests). But I can't type anymore, not right now. Later everyone. -DDG

It was a bright and sunny evening. . .

Is it just me or is theOtaku network running extremely slow right now? Even when I just had one page open it took like, five minutes just to load the backroom. And I'm still waiting for Solo's myOtaku to load. And by the way, the title was inspired by the crazy story Alexa, Xio and I started typing on Xio's typewriter when we were at her house a little while ago after Math Club. What a crazy story it was. Hehe, I kept making Xio mad by snooping through her stuff as she was busy typing. I can't help but do it... I just want to find something to laugh at her about. Like really bad drawings or really horrible stories or something. So today was Part 2 of the Science MEAP and let me say it was much easier than the first part. Much easier. The written response questions were quite simple and straightforward and the questions were from areas that I'm very familiar with and know to an extreme. My mom says that it was probably so easy for me because I'm so good with science *beams* And I guess I am. Like when we came in the classroom this morning, on the board there were weather drawings and I started naming off everything(There was a Stationary Front, warm front, cold front, high pressure, low pressure, wind direction, highs/lows, partly cloudy, sunny, and cloudy). I found it fun because weather and stuff is like... a subject in science that I feel I'm very well off with and that I know a lot about. I mean, last year I did get 44/40(there were four extra credit points and I got them all!) on our weather test ^_^ And I did what I said I would do earlier this morning('round 1 AM): I ended the last After Story Extra. All together it totals... er, ah crap. I left my notebook at Xio's house T_T Guess I'll just have to get off soon and call her and tell her to remember to bring it tomorrow and then I'll just write throughout Discovery Language Arts. I'm guessing it totals around 30-40 pages and the second largest was only 17 o_O Well, I did tell myself that I wanted the last one to be the best and the biggest and I guess it was... First up on my list of "Into the Past" stories is a short little piece I'm going to write about (colored white to make harder to read to prevent spoilers, please skip this part and tune back in once you see the horizontal rule if you wish not to know)is the mystery behind Sonny's father's murder. There are numerous rumors as such that I've come up with surrounding his death and I'd like to write a short piece to flesh out these rumors and make readers even more confuzzled about Mr. Forelli's death. Hell, I'm not even going to tell the readers how he truly died. I believe that it would be better that the readers choose for themselves how he died and that I don't choose for them. I believe it will add more... eh, depth to the story? A certain pizzaz maybe... But still, I've been wanting to write this piece for awhile. I've had so many ideas for it. Cometh back all readers of myOtaku! That includes you, too, Mimmi! No spoilers to be seen beneath this horizontal rule, until I beging writing in white again! All who were brave enough to highlight this empty space shall receive a cookie! Boo. *pops out with sheet over head* Big empty spaces are fun. Highlight at your own risk! Ok, I had better go call Xio before it gets too late... -DDG Day: 163

Evil ideas

Xio says I'm a cruel, evil and disgusting person with an evil, cruel and disgusting mind. And she said it with good reason for I have come up with the perfect "Into the Past" special for her character in my story. Hehe, she was so mad at me earlier when I thought of it. Actually, I'd thought it before but never really considered it until now and I even told her so. And I'm only really considering it now because she's been doing cruel and horrible things to my character in her Saiyuki fanfic... She was mad about it during lunch when I suggested it and I didn't improve her mood by suggesting a few other things. I wish I could say so much more, but that would spoil it. I'll atleast say this much: We came to a compromise about two hours ago. I called her up because I was bored and we ended up getting into a long discussion and ideas just kept popping into my head and one by one I threw them out and we began compromising. Now what I've got planned she's completely okay with and actually thinks is quite funny. And, if at any point in what I'm writing she's not okay with it, she's going to pretend that the name on the page does not say "Xio" but "Alexa." She'll then proceed to say, "Kayla, look at all of these typos you made! Its not supposed to say Xio!" *rubs hands together gleefully* I can't wait. And my story is about two pages from its final final close. The last After Story Extra(and the longest one) will come to an end very soon. By tonight I'm guessing. The After Story Extra's are the final bit of the actual story. Everything else I write after I've finished this last one is just extra stuff that I thought of or didn't put in the story because it didn't fit in anywhere but think you should know anyway because I don't want to keep all this information to myself. I've just created this little world around myself with this story... When I write about the characters I actually feel as if I'm them, experiencing what they are, doing what they're doing... And for a majority of the characters its almost as if I've planned their entire life stories or I know every single important event that happened in their life. I've thought of everything about them, to describe them, the things that make them them. And so many of these things I've never mentioned in the story because I either forgot, just thought of it now or I just couldn't fit in anywhere. And that's what these last little things I'm writing are for(I've categorized them into Part 3 of my story...). Its just these little things that are so cool that I thought of that I think everyone should know and not just my close friends like Xio or Alexa, but everyone and anyone who's read more story. Plus, some of these things I'm going to write about after I finish up this last After Story Extra will either clear up even more things that were left unanswered or just give you all some awesome fricken information on characters(even some of the smallest that were in the story very little!) God I don't know what's going to happen to me once I've finished this story. My life has revolved around it almost for two whole years. March of sixth grade... I wonder, do you all think I could think of enough stuff to make these extras to last until March? I think I could. Not only do I have all of these little articles I'd like to write and these stories and whatnot, but I'd like to do more illustrations of the characters and I've also began making family trees(just because I was extremely bored earlier today... Family trees are hard to make, you know!). Oh, but in elsewise news of my life: I've finished The Return of the King. I loved the ending, but it was really sad... And I started Wind in the Willows. I haven't read much of it so far, only four pages, but it seems pretty good so far. But it hasn't exactly "hooked" me yet. Of course, a lot of stories take a little while to hook you. And I'm sure this is one of them ^_^ And that's it for today. -DDG Day: Eh, 162?

Sinco Sinco Sinco Nueve Dos Nueve Dos

Hell, I don't even know what to say for today's post... Eh, today was the first day for MEAP testing. We only had Science today and it was pretty easy(all thanks to Mr. Elsea's great teaching methods *thumbs up to the Mobster-wannabe* (he even said he was trying to be one when Xio and I mentioned it!) We were the first class of the day to take the MEAP test. The very first class of this year. Isn't that an honor? And tomorrow we'll be the very first class to take the Social Studies portion and Xio's class will be the first to take the Math. We'll be the last class to take the Math, though. But the free food is great ^_^ When I got to school, I was busy trying to put my stuff away and asked Xio if she could get me a fruit bar or something and she said she wouldn't... And then Melissa said she'd get me one ^_^ Such a nice friend Melissa is. Unlike that mean Xio person that I just talked about earlier... I only got to eat the fruit bar, though and didn't get to drink the little drink thing that she got me, too... And I love those little things. They're good. I probably could have just took it to Gym with me and finished it in the locker room, but oh well. I'll get another one tomorrow. And this morning made me kind of mad. See, last Friday, Charlie told me that he would be picking us up ten minutes earlier, so, I get up five minutes earlier than I normally do and get out to wait for the bus around the same time I normally get out there actually... But anyway, he ends up getting there at the same time he usually does (around 7:40) when I expected him there around (7:30, I went out at around 7:28...). And then, when we get on the bus, he informs us(Blaike and I) that we're now the last stop in the morning. Do you know how bad it is to be the last stop? Do you? There are absolutely no seats left and you have to fucking squeeze in with two other people. And its even worse when you get the aisle side of the seat with two other people because its fucking hard as hell to get enough room in the seat to stay in the seat. *growls* Vestaburg needs to get more fucking busses to lighten the load on some... And today, we got ANOTHER new kid. Another one. That's like the tenth one this year and the second one in our class in two weeks. Now we have 25 kids in our class when last semester we only had 20(three kids were transferred into ours and one of them was really upset about it because all of her good friends are in her old class which makes how they switched people over into our class a bunch of bullshit...) And guess what? The new girl came from Montabella and that's where Travis has been to school before and it seems he's been in class with her before... and they argued and argued almost all through Discovery Science. And, just because Chance wants to be just like Travis and because he went to Montabella, too, he's adding to the arguments. God damn... so annoying. But yeah, whatever. I have less than one hundred pages left in Return of the King and I want to finish it tonight... so I gotta read, read, read... Then I'm going to start The Wind in the Willows and after that, Redwall. I was reading for about an hour and a half after I got home, but I was really tired and decided to go take a nap ^_^; I set my alarm for 6 PM, but apparently I slept through it hehe. It was a good nap though, but I'm still really tired. And hungry. *grabs her bowl of pork and rice and finishes it up* -DDG Day: 161

Redesigning sucks

I was inspired last night and ended up redesigning the index page and home page of my website. The index page is completely done and looks pretty cool if you ask me. I finally got around to figuring out how to use image positioning, heh. And it came in quite handy, too. Still have a few things to fix on the home page, but other than that I think its pretty nice. And I finally found the code I need to make a table with a scrollbar where you can't insert text hehe. I've been trying to find that code forever and I finally got it by looking at the source HTML of zeldadeath's site. On the index page, I was going to try and split the splash image into a few different parts, but I can't do that with PhotoImpression4 so *shrugs* I like it how it is anyway. I think it looks awesome. But I still can't believe that TehSillyCircus2 is coming to a close. Its gone on for so long, it just seems strange that soon it'll all be over and I'll be announced the winner. And I'll have posted consecutively for 166 days straight. Sure was a hard thing to do and well, I'm not going to repeat myself anymore. I've already said it a million times that I've came through some close calls... quite a few. Quite a few. But now all of that's almost all behind me and I'm glad of that. Extremely glad. This contest has been draining. Extremely tiresome in a lot of ways. I'm still glad Shinmaru quit when he did because I was getting ready to quit myself. Couldn't take much more you see? But now that he's quit I can last a few more days, just for the contest. Just to be declared the winner. But do you all really want to hear about my boring life for another few days? I know I wouldn't >.> Guess I'm just going to have to tell it anyway =P Yep, and you all better enjoy it! But I have a piece of pizza I need to attend to. Its calling me to eat it... and I'm really hungry. Plus I gotta fix up my home page(trying to figure out the correct height I need for that scroll box... and its really starting to bug me because my computer wont show me the changes and I have to delete the cache every single time I do it....) -DDG Day: 160

And if even after watching all of the Jurassic Park movies you still think owning a dinosaur would be awesome, this game is for you.

Eight more days? Actually after today its only seven, but, I dunno. I guess I'm just going to have to tough it out. I can last seven more days ^_^; And according to Syk, yesterday should have been 158. Are you sure? I guess until I go home and check with my calendar(which is in a box somewhere in my closet) I'll just have to nod and say, "ok, today is 159 then." Still, I can't believe that Shinmaru has quit before me. Atleast he had the courage to say that he's had enough and he can't post anymore. TehSillyCircus 2 has run its course and in seven days time I shall be declared the winner. Here's hoping I can last seven days. I'm sure I can, or at least I hope I can. All I know is that I'm going to be extremely relieved once this contest is finally over. This contest has had a huge impact on me, though. Its become such a habit to post everyday, I think I'm going to be paranoid about not posting everyday for a few months now. I might never even be able to fall back into my old posting habits. (Posting every two or three days or so, or just when I had something interesting to say) Win A Free Anime T-Shirt! I found out that the winners were chosen for the "Win a free anime t-shirt" contest today after reading Katana's myOtaku. Then I headed over to the main page and saw the winners. I read the comments on the winners post and then I went back and read the winners' entries. And I must say, I agree with Sabaku, Katana and the others: I would like to know how the entries were judged. Was it random? Quality based? Quantity even? If it was random, it did those who took time to write their entries no justice. If it was quality or even quantity, then it must have been some kind of fluke that sailor firestar, fey and just2kawaii won. I read through most of the entries. There were many other entries that were much better than those three's. If the winners were chosen at random, then why did we have to write about our favorite anime possession at all? Why not just comment saying, "Yes, enter me in the contest!"? We users should be allowed to know how the judging was sanctioned. Its only fair that we know so we can further improve our entries into the contests. If it was random, then I believe I would not have written my entry the way I had(or maybe I would have, just because I can). If it was based on quality, I would have took even more time to write my entry. And another quip that comes into my mind: 250 characters is an inadequate number to comment about your favorite anime possession with, or even to just comment and express your opinions or feelings at all. Such as my comment on the "Contest winners picked" post from earlier today. I had much more to say, but due to the fact that I had very few characters left, I was cut short. Maybe I should complain to someone, maybe I shouldn't. But either way, I still don't agree with the winners who were picked, but I shall congratulate them anyway. So, congratulations, however you happened to win. I think a post from me complaining about the results of the anime t-shirt contest is enough for one day. So, until tomorrow... -DDG Day: (first will be according to Syk, second listed number after the / will be what I believe it is until I check my calendar tomorrow...) 159/160 EDIT: Just read Adam's reply to the comments on the main page: The guy from that site picked the one's that he liked best huh? ... Maybe if I was Shinmaru I would have something funny or mean to say about this, but since I'm not, I'll just say congratulations to the winners.... I'm a pretty bad sore loser sometimes because I've never won a single contest in my entire life >.> Well, one's where prizes were at stake, like free anime stuff or video games or something.

*burninating airplanes*

Thanks Mimmi ^_^ You made my day. *hugs* Today is just one of those days where I'd rather not post but I still want to, either out of habit or just because I don't want to lose. *sigh* But I have nothing to talk about. I could talk about what happened at school today, but that was pretty boring. It wasn't a normal school day, though. There was sort of a little bit of a screwed up schedule, but we still had a few classes that were the same. Hmm... next week is the MEAP. How joyous. This year, we have Science, Math, and Social Studies. At least we get free food before school starts ^_^ And I guess I might actually be getting to school earlier than normal because Charlie said that some kids were being transferred and that he'd be arriving about ten minutes earlier. Ugh, but now I have to get up earlier and I can't hit the snooze button anymore. That sucks, but I guess I'd rather get to school early than get to school right before the bell rings. Its fun just standing around and talking with everyone before class... And maybe I'll actually get some of the snacks we get before the MEAP. Last year they were always all gone *cries* Normally I don't like eating in the morning, but I can make an exception when its free pre-made food. Yeah, free stuff rocks >.> Hum hum hum, but I've got other stuff to do. So I'm done for tonight. Doubt I'll have anything much better to say tomorrow, either. Oh, yeah, almost forgot, I got my AR point awards for 50 points, 100 points and for being the only person with 250 points. I get to go to a pizza party on January 28th for getting 50 points, I got... uh, I think a gift certificate for getting 100 and I got invited to the movies at the end of the year for getting 250. Whee. -DDG Day: 159

*grumble*

And today my bad mood just had to increase. Having three kids in one class who are constantly picking on people, calling them names, making fun of them, playing stupid fucking pranks on them, trying to get them in trouble, is not fun. Especially when you sit by all three of those people in one class. And it all started in Math. Math has gone from one of my favorite and most looked forward to classes, to one of my least favorite and dreaded classes. And to make it worse, Math is my last class of the day, so, my bad mood comes home with me. Thankfully, its usually just me and Blaike home alone for a few hours so I'm not getting in trouble for giving my mom an attitude or something. Plus Blaike and I hardly ever talk ^_^; I took a nap around 5 PM, too. That helped a bit. I feel a bit calmer, but I'm still quite fired up from Math. I'm so fucking pissed off at those three, those three being Chance, Jerome and Travis. God I so fucking hate them. They bug me for answers, they make fun of me, the constantly bombard me with whatever kind of... mental torture they can come up with. The worst just had to happen when Mrs. Zimmer made me share my book with Jerome because he left his binder at Alex's house. So he moved his desk next to mine and then, Travis(who sits right on the other side of me) began kicking my desk closer to Jerome and then, they both started up their famous, "No, I will not make out with you," lines. *grits teeth* So fucking annoying. And everytime I would move my desk back, Travis would kick it back towards Jerome's. And I kept telling him to knock it off, but he just kept on doing it. He finally stopped when I swung a leg over the other side of the desk and started whacking his leg away with it. *growls* I can't stand it anymore. One more day and I'm going to fucking crack... I've had to put up with Jerome and Travis all year(and last year for that matter) and I don't need Chance getting in on it too because he's good buddies with Jerome and Travis. Fucking idiots. -DDG Day: Uh, 158 or 159 or something like that.

Flying = teh sucks

Oh and the last hour has made me aboslutely loathe any kind of school that Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas forces you through. Or in easier terms, flying school sucks and I hate fucking flying. I'm stuck on the stupid fucking third test and it totally fucking sucks and I fucking hate it and I wish it would fucking die. I completed the test one time and guess what? They didn't even give me a goddamn score. I'm guessing maybe because I took two fucking minutes to do it, but that was only because the controls for airplanes suck ass and I couldn't line up the plane right or turn sharp enough without making the plane roll or just turn too far. And to add to that, its fucking hard to get the plane to go straight through the corona. And what really pisses me off is if I go through a corona with most of a wing on certain ones, they'll count it and then I'll do it on the next one and they don't fucking count it. God I fucking hate school. Any kind of school. It all sucks. All of it. And the strategy guide's no help; all it tells me is the same thing that the game tells me, no other tips or anything. *sighs* It made me so fucking mad and so fucking angry that I was crying. Damnit I hate fucking flying. Hmph and you're supposed to get flying skill by doing these tests, but, you only get the skill if you pass with Gold in a test. Fucked up it is. Fucked up and I'm thoroughly pissed off. I don't even think I'm going to play it tomorrow. I'm going to write instead. And type up more of my story(Not making much progress into the story... still at the beginning of Tommy's two year prison sentence, but he'll be out pretty soon ^_^). Math Club was as Math Club usually is. Funny and math-y. You know, the usual stuff. And afterwards at Xio's house I got to read almost all of Saiyuki Gaiden. I only had about seven more pages to read when my mom showed up *cries* But I got to go to Alma and she let me go to Sam Goody and buy Naruto volume 2! (Just because I've downloaded a bunch of chapters doesn't mean I don't still want to buy the volumes. I want to own them all!) But I have to get off now so I'm going to go fume about GTA:SA while I type up more of my story... -DDG Day: 157

Nature has a way of taking care of poor people: tornados don't like poor people

Hehe, Mary, formerly known as Bruce, from I Say, You Say on WCTR in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas said that a minute ago. The quote just cracks me up sometimes because it truly does seem true, I mean, just look at the devastation tornados do to trailer parks! Whee, I did it. I fulfilled my goal of the day: I made it to Las Venturas. Well, I've made it to the Desert(Tierra Robada and Bone County) anyway. But I did take a little ride around Las Venturas for a little while, went and gambled in Caligula's Palace, and then I did two missions and I've got ten more missions to complete before I'm officially in Las Venturas. That's tomorrows goal ^_^ I'll atleast attempt half of that anyway. Some of the upcoming missions either look or sound tough or are extremely long. Argh, and I have to pass Flying school, too. And if its anything like Driving school... I swear I'm going to fucking flip. I don't think it'll be as hard as Driving School, though. Atleast I know the last test wont be. I'm so waiting to jump from a plane and parachute back down to the city(Actually, I've already done this, but I wasn't very high in altitude...) Wow, today has completely made me extremely not like Chance. He's like a mixture of both Travis and Jerome, only worse than that. He's annoying, loud, obnoxious, and a bit... eh, slow. I hate his attitude the most though. Absolutely horrible. Absolutely. Hate it. Hate it hate it hate it. Oh, you know what I really like? Hehe, doing better in a mission than the people who made the strategy guide did. Take the first mission I did when I got into the desert. It was called "Monster." The objective was to drive a Monster Truck through 35 checkpoints in under 6:30(six minutes, thirty seconds). The strategy guide people got: 6:12. My time: 5:10. Hah! Take that you book people! You suxx0rz! And I think I did better in the Badlands A and B races than they did. Hehe, I'm so awesome. But enough about GTA:SA. Uh... I have nothing else to say unless it has something to do with GTA:SA. Well, uh, I did some more dating with those two girlfriends in the game. I didn't do too much, though. Got a little ticked off when I got a "Fun Meter" date for Katie and first it would say I was going too fast, so I'd slow down to almost a complete stop. Then I was going too slow so I'd speed up a little tiny bit and bam, I was going too fast again. I think I know how to max out her meter, though. She likes it when I get into an accident with my car so... *shrugs* I figure I'll ram a few cars or something. Some dangerous stunts you know. Mmm... dinner's done(its 10:23 PM and I'm just getting to eat dinner...). Gotta go get some, right after I complain about this one last thing: I ache all fricking over. My calves, my thighs, my butt, my back, and my shoulders. The muscles are all pulled and it kills. I can barely walk and it wasn't made any better by this morning when the bus didn't come and I was stuck outside in like, below 0 degree weather, freezing for about a half hour. Damn bus. I found out from some other people on my bus after I got to school that Charlie got in an accident or something and that they were running late and ended up not picking up myself and the Denman's(we're the last two stops in the morning). But atleast I got to ride to school in a nice warm truck ^_^ But now I'm achy and I was shaky earlier and after I got to school I was shivering all day; no matter what the temperature in the room was I would still shiver. And my arms are so... bleh, its hard to type and move them. Atleast my fingers are still okay. My arms just hurt and I fricking weak. And its all because of Gym on Monday. I haven't been able to get much exercise for about two months now and that was around the time we had our last class of Gym before break so, now all my muscles are pulled because we had to do a bunch of jumproping, jogging and played capture the football. I mean, I stretched and all, but it didn't fucking help any. I'm gonna go get some painkiller and some food. G'night. -DDG Day: 156
