A question for me, a question for thee

Maybe I wont talk about dreams today. I'm too tired...I slept all day again today and my mom had to force me out of bed. I think I'm actually coming down with the flu now. I've been shaky all day...and tired and cold and all that crap. I don't even think I'm going to stay on the internet that long today. I think all I'm going to do today is work on the GamePro holiday hunt, then read my new book, The Supernaturalists by Eoin Colfer. She's such an awesome author. Yay for her. *thumbs up* I'm looking for FAQ's on areas to get items for my dad. I got the areas he needs for the few weapons he's got left, but the FAQ I looked at earlier didn't really have much on armor. So I'm looking for that right now... Short post I must make this...for I don't really feel like typing right now. My arms are already getting really tired from it... -DDG Day: 125

Ballad of the sleepy woman

I slept all day today. And I once again skived off on going to my dad's on a Friday. I was really planning on going today anyway. There is a breaking limit for me and my internet workings. I'm actually starting to get quite tired of always being on the internet over there...maybe I'll bring Orphen over and play it there where there's Action Replay cheat codes for it haha. Or maybe I'll just sign into my messengers invisible. Sometimes when I get sick of being on the internet, signing into messengers invisible and not talking to anyone for awhile cures it. But, anyway, I guess I'm going over there tomorrow. *yawns* But I'm still really sleepy. I think I'll head off to bed in a moment and lay and write for a little while. Then fall into a deep slumber...hopefully a dreamless slumber. And I'm going to have to delay that dream post I was going to post today. I'm too tired to type it up right now. And I'm too tired to want to focus on those damn dreams. They're so horrible and so close to reality that I keep confusing them with reality...but I wont say anymore. I'll save it for tomorrow when I have plenty of time and when I'm not sleepy. This is really starting to bug me. I've been sick for weeks now. Just cold sick, like runny/stuffy nose, phlegmy throat, headaches, tiredness...but its really making me mad because I'm just not getting over it. I've been constantly sick. I wouldn't mind if I could just get the flu or something, because then I'd be rid of everything for awhile. I think I'm going to talk to my mom tomorrow...maybe there's something seriously wrong with me or its like, a very severe cold or something. I dunno. I'm not a medical expert. Although, if I was I wouldn't mind... But I really need something to eat now. And I want to go back to bed...*almost falling asleep at computer desk* -DDG Day: 124 *too tired for anything else other than this...

Cause I don't ever wanna leave the gang without least sayin' goodbye. . .

I went to a band concert earlier today. It was for Robin's homeschool group or something. We left at like, 4 PM and didn't get there until about 5:30. It was in Grand Rapids which is about and hour and a half away. And let me tell you, there is nothing(From what I could see) Grand about that place. I'm not really a fan of big cities to tell the truth. Just don't like all the traffic and busyness and stuff. I liked Mount Pleasant, though. But its not a big city; just an average sized one, although I'm sure it seems big to most people who've lived in Vestaburg all their lives. Which brings up a subject I debate with myself on: Do I prefer living in the city or in the country? There are certain aspects of both that I like. And there are certain things about both that benefit me the most. Some things I truly miss about living in the city are from when my mom and I used to live on Kay Avenue and in the Isabella Mobile Home park. I always loved to hear the races over at the racetrack every Friday night. They always reminded me of times since passed when I was much younger and I used to go there almost every Friday night. They were comforting... And benefits for me of living in town were being able to rollerblade and skateboard everyday. And to ride down to the corner store and buy pizza and pop. To just skate around and watch people. And of course, living where I was, I didn't have to ride the bus. I got dropped off and picked up everyday from school. Of course, you should see my enormous tardy list from the mornings. My Grandma wasn't always the most punctual person. I was usually only about ten or so minutes late, though. But living the in the country is just...pleasant I guess. Hardly any traffic to keep you up at night. You can hear just the most smallest and trivial sounds that you would never hear in the city. You can see the stars at night...and it can be just so beautiful sometimes. But then again, sometimes cities can be quite beautiful as well...even moreso than the country and stuff. And if you take my view on it, I receive little actual benefit from living in the country. I can't rollerblade or skateboard. Bike riding can be quite tedious at times...nothing is ever going on. Bored out of my mind... This is NOT the direction I thought of taking my post tonight. I was actually thinking about what I might post while we were driving home from Grand Rapids. I might save that for tomorrow, though. Be warned, however, I might begin to rant or rave or just have some kind of, emotional breakdown or some sort. I really need to get this crap out. Its really starting to bug me. *shakes funny feelings off for the moment* And the feelings mostly stem from the dreams I've been having recently...just...horrible. Absolutely horrid. -DDG Day: 123 [A-B-C...its as easy as 1-2-3. A-B-C, 1-2-3, its you and me girl!] Days 'till: Last day- 7?

Xio's Gonna Die- A song by Xio's brother

Xio's gonna die, die die Gonna kick her in the eye, eye, eye She's gonna cry, cry, cry Gonna wonder why, why, why... Yeah, that's a great song. Xio says she regrets she ever told it to me and Alexa because we were both chanting it while we were walking back to the Middle School after lunch. Its a really catchy song, too...Xio's gonna die, die, die... We had a very small group at Math Club today. It was just me, Xio, Taylor(a sixth grade boy), Mrs. Wolfe and Mrs. Zimmer. Mostly everyone else was at the basketball game. Basketball games seem to be scheduled on Wednesday's a lot. I don't think the kids who have to attend the basketball games will be at Math Club anytime too soon. And this is the last week of Math Club until break. Next week there isn't going to be it because Wednesday is the last day before break. Speaking of which, I'm going to start counting down for a few certain days at the ends of my posts underneath the Daily Posting Contest counter. Anyway, so, I slept in my roll out bed last night. Its comfy ^_^ See, there are two reasons why I slept there: 1.) I gets annoying to have to climb down my ladder to turn off my alarm clock, then climb back up and take a 15 minute nap. That's only because the ladder is so close to the wall its hard to get up and down. 2.) I wanted to sleep with my kitty. ^_^ And she was giving me one of those "pity me" looks and meows. So I gave in, pulled out the roll out bed, grabbed my blankets and pillows and curled up next to her. I think I'll sleep on that bed until we move the entire bed over. I like to have it out, too, because then I can sit on the bed and play video games and stuff. I was sitting on my bean bag before, but that gets pretty uncomfortable after awhile. *holds head* I've got a bunch of Homestar Runner songs stuck in my head. "Everybody, Everybody" "Decemberween" "Everybody Knows It" "I Really Got" "Tropical Lazor" "Trogdor" ... Well, I just told my mom about where I thought we should move my bed and she said it sounded like a good idea, especially after we got my old dresser and my TV stand thing out. Then we're going to get some of those moving man thing-a-mabobs. You know, those discs that you slide under each corner of the object and then move it along the floor with ease. I'm sure they don't work all that well, in fact, I saw a "Try Before You Buy" about them on 9 & 10 News and they worked ok, but not the best...but anyway, even if they didn't work the best, we just need something to help us along a little bit. I think Lonnie's going to move my dresser downstairs tomorrow morning and then steamclean the part of the floor of my room that he can. I guess I don't really care. I don't know how much difference it'll make in my floor. A lot I'm sure, but the carpet on my floor is just really crappy and I don't think it even deserves to be cleaned. Or something or another. *shrugs* I think I'll just post this now...I kind of lost my train of thought. *scratches head, trying to think of what is was she was going to say* -DDG Day: 122 [Peasant's Quest!!!!] Days till: Christmas Day- 10 Christmas Eve- 9 Special Day of Presentry Opening- 6

Oh for the joys of random frisking...

I've finally began doing what its said I'm doing in my location for awhile: Played True Crime: Streets of L.A. randomly frisking people. I haven't played the game in forever. So long I'd forgotten all of the button commands. It only took a minute or two to figure them all out, but all the same. I was a bit disappointed for a bit because the memory card that has my True Crime game data on it is at my dad's, but all I was really going to do was go around, shoot things, drive over things, blow things away with the "heavier car" cheat code, frisk people. You know, the usual. That's one small step for man, one giant leap for commentry: Haruko: Yeah, they're that interesting. Even if they are mostly just random stuff. And extremely funny when I explain the details of what I'm doing while I'm playing Grand Theft Auto. Hehe, I seem to remember a certain conversation that involved golf carts, golf cart racing, and running over golfers. Azure: I didn't learn it was based on an anime until I saw a DVD for the anime at Sam Goody. And at that time I only knew of the game because my dad had given it to me after he'd finished with it. But yeah, definitely don't want to play it. Even if I do think I know how to beat that monster now...I just don't want to go past those stupid axes again. God those are annoying. Mimmi: Now that I really look at him, his head is shaped like a strawberry. Which is totally awesome! *huggles Kakashi-sensei* Whoo! Yahoo! People can be just so nice sometimes! You see, I was having trouble with the third question for the second round of the GamePro super hunt, so, I posted a thread in their forum with a plea for help. Only two people responded to it, but I did receive an email from someone who was having trouble with a different question. He offered to exchange answers. So, I emailed him back with the answer that he needed(it was for the second question) and he emailed me back today with the answer to the third. I skived off my work during CEWT for a moment, and quickly got the answer. And boy am I happy! Now I can't wait until the 16th when the third round starts. I still remember trying this last year and not being able to find the right pages for the answers, even though I had all of them. Teehee, getting all of the answers was the result of spending hours and hours in GamePro's old chat room, which they removed because of problems with it. But I did have some great times in that chat. I met so many awesome friends who I'm still good friend with now...such great memories. *reminisces for a moment* Ok, back to reality. I finally got to take an AR test on The Fellowship of the Rings and... Amazingly enough, I got 100%. I thought for sure I had gotten one or two wrong, but I didn't! I got 100%! A few questions it took me a few minutes to remember what it was that happened and some other questions really bugged me like one that went like this: Saruman told Gandalf that they needed: A.) Wisdom B.) Friendship C.) Power D.) Leadership Well, the multiple choice answers were different, except C, that one was power and that one was the answer. Stupid questions... Okie dokie, I've got other things to do now, so later all... -DDG Day: 121 [Random H*R links!]

DAILY PRISONER SHAKEDOWN REPORT

You can tell I'm really uninspired to write a witty title when I'm taking phrases from papers lying in front of me. And yes, there is a little notepad in front of me that has at the top of it: MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS DAILY PRISONER SHAKEDOWN REPORT Oddly enough, the contents on the paper have nothing to do with the title of it. Its just a bunch of random notes that my mom made. She just writes things down on whatever paper she can find... Come to think of it, why does Lonnie have a prisoner shakedown report notepad here anyway? Ah, best not to think about it I guess. Although...it does make me wonder. What kinds of things is he finding during these shakedowns? God, just the thought of shakedowns makes me rethink about considering a job as a Corrections Officer...that's not really the job I'd want anyway. Nope. And you know what? I bet none of you will ever guess everything I wrote down and checked on the career choice considerations we did a few weeks back in Jumpstart. Ok, so maybe you might guess one or two things I checked. But other than that, there's no way you'd ever guess! =P Only Xio could, but that's because 1.) she was there and 2.) we discussed everything we considered afterwards. Some call it commentry on commentry...I call it: Commentry on Commentry: kamemaster: Yep, most definitely. Mimmi: Strawberry boy? Don't believe I've ever heard that name before. Shin: There's some kind of...mystic, seducing charm behind them. That's what it is. Zefie: Wee, glad you like it. Yes, never stare at something for too long...especially if its on a computer screen. You could do permanent damage! Or just make your head hurt...or something. Baron: Yeah, loads of fun. If you call staying up 'till 3 AM and writing and reading fun. Well, I finally finished the The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. It was a marvelous book. I was sad to see it end. Gladly, I have the Two Towers checked out at the moment, so I started reading that today and made quite a bit of progress. I think I read 1-30 during Jumpstart and then 30-50 during English... Unto other matters... I'm sure you all remember how I said I really wanted to play Orphen, right? Well, I played it last night for awhile and played it today for awhile...before I had the urge to snap the game into a million tiny shards. Yeah, it ticked me off that much. See, there was this one part where I had to get past a bunch of swinging axes and stuff along the lines of that. Well, if I got hit by one of the axes, right after I got back up after falling, the axe would swing back down and kill me. One hit from the axe takes half your HP, so you're sort of screwed if you can't get back out of the way after getting hit. And then, once I'd gotten past all of that shit, there was this big monster that really ticked me off. No matter what I did, he just wouldn't fucking die. No matter how many times I hit him, he would just charge me and push me back farther along the hall. And you know what happens when you get pushed back too far along the hall? You fall off a cliff to your miserable death and have to start over back at the beginning of the axes. I was so fucking ticked off. I chucked my controller on the floor and stomped out into the kitchen, where I gorged on some food...Ah, gorging on food to relieve your troubles. What a wonderful thing, eh? No wonder I'm chubby. >.> I need something new, something fantabulous to talk about. But what's fantabulous about my life? Nothing at all. Except my phone conversations with Xio, but there's no way for me to relay those here...unless I tapped the phone and recorded the conversations onto the computer. But that would take some intense bit of programming and stuff...and I'm not very familiar in that kind of area. Although, it is something that would be so totally awesome to do. And now I'm suddenly reminded of a certain part of my story. Oh the joy of text to text connections...*sigh* And I mean constant text to text connection. I've used so many different things in my story that I can do a text to text link for about everything... Boy I sure do live a repetitive life. o_O That was a little off topic I guess, but I must agree with myself here. I do live a repetitive life. I don't think I've done anything different or new for months. Its just the same things everyday. Sleep, wake up, dress, ride the bus, go to school, ride the bus, eat, read, write, play video games, get on the internet, shower, write, watch TV, fall asleep, wake up...(repeat process) Well, atleast I always know what's going down that day with this repetitive process. Even if it does get a bit boring after awhile. Well, I better go see if I can think of the next page for my Naruto manga... -DDG Day: 120 [A new Strong Bad email just for the occasion!]

*giggle*

Hehe. I finally figured out the name of my favorite characters from the Lord of the Rings: Easterlings. They're just so...awesome. I mean, I love their armor. Their eyes....everything about them! But especially their eyes. Yep, their eyes are the best. Men wearing eyeliner...and women of course. Most of them are played by women and you can definitely tell by looking at pictures which one's are the women. But they're still awesome all the same. They're just...Well, its too hard to put it into words. They're awesome and that's all that's to it. I think I have a thing for eyes...I mean, its strange. When I'm playing Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, I'll zoom in during Codec conversations and just focus on Snake's eyes. They're just so wonderful. I could stare at them all day... And then there's some of the pictures of Big Boss(a.k.a. Naked Snake) where its a real close view of his face. Like that one I designed an entire layout around. Yeah, that one. The main reason I liked that picture so much was because his eyes were so...amazing. And there's another picture, advertising Metal Gear Solid 3 in Metal Gear Solid the comic book #2 where they have an extremely similar picture of him, but this time they come closer to his eyes. And now we can move onto Kakashi-sensei. Adding in his expressions half the time, his eyes are just...spectacular. And so's his hair...but lets not get into that. But there are just so many things in characters that could make you like them, and it seems odd to me that what I like most about a lot of characters is their eyes... But I'm sure I'm not the only one. Like, last night, when I was looking up pictures of Easterlings on a cool LOTR site, I was reading the comments below the picture and quite a few people thought their eyes were fabulous. Most of them said it was the eyeliner...I'd have to agree with that. The eyeliner is wonderful. Men in eyeliner... *giggles* Only manly men wear pink! I mean, eyeliner! And women of course. Hum dum diddly dum...I can't wait 'till I go home. I really want to play Orphen. I'm going to play it all night...and then I'll read when my mom makes me go to bed. And write a little. Yeah, play video games, write, read, maybe write again or continue reading before I fall asleep. Well, nothing else to say. I mean, I haven't done anything that would interest anyone since I got up today or yesterday. So, I best be off and getting to work on my new banner... -DDG Day: 119 [Sterrance!

God I love super hunts

Hehe, I just started the second round of the GamePro super hunt like ten minutes ago and I've already found the first answer. Whee! Onto the next question! Finally at my dad's house now after spending a comfy night in my new bed =D It was so comfy I went overboard with writing in my story. Well, not really but I did write a very interesting thing for it: Tommy's complete criminal record! It took me the better part of an hour to think of everything; I wasn't feeling up to getting all of my notebooks out and flipping through them so I did it from memory. I'm sure I missed a few things, though. I'll look everything up some other time. Whoo, my final issue of GamePro magazine finally arrived. Now I can use the re-order form to renew my subscription! I just need $20 and I'm all set! I haven't read much from the issue. So far its just been the letters, bugs/fixes and an article on GTA: San Andreas. Other than that, I haven't read anything out of it. I do plan to, though. After I finish this round of the Holiday Hunt... Gah, I need to find a screenshot. I hate finding screenshots...There's just so many to go through before you find the right one. I was playing Orphen today before I left to come over here to my dad's. God, I didn't want to stop playing. That's a really fun game. I've had it for a long time now and I've finally started playing it. I don't know why I never played it before... We got some snow last night. And some rain. And I woke up and the power flashed on and off a few times. I think it did during the night, too, because some of the clocks were reset before it flashed on and off when I got up. Damn rain. And snow. Heh. Lonnie absolutely loves his new gun cabinet. It was a gift to him from my mom and me. It just fit all of his guns. I was surprised at how many guns he actually has! Seven! Seven! An a gun barrel to one of them that's filling the last slot. He said he'd forgotten he had that many, too. God, I find that funny. Oh, and he was asking about the keys and wanted to know where they were...and, well, I came up behind him, looked all around the gun cabinet and saw a yellow package with the word "key" prinetd on it. I burst out laughing and pointed it out to him. He laughed too and then opened the package and opened and locked stuff. Well...I've got that super hunt to attend to, so, this be all for now! -DDG Day: 118 [Slightly Shotgunned! Like Used!]

Ah, the aroma of new beds...

Shinmaru: Hmm. This shall be a bloody battle! Yeah, you're probably right. Your ego is too big for me. Mimmi: Sugar can be addictive, but only on certain days for me...just depends on my mood I guess. Teehee. My new bed is so awesome. Its got a roll out bed, secret compartments...a top bunk, shelves, drawers... It smells all new and fresh like. Although the smell of its varnish has been making me a bit lightheaded...but I'm fine. I got all of my manga, video games, some books, DVD's and a few tapes into the shelves. Then I piled my magazines in front of that. Then there's a bunch of other crap that's just sitting there until I get some more shelves along the walls or until I get my new computer. The bed isn't where its permanently going to be. We're thinking about moving it over to the opposite wall and having it face the other way. I'm not really for this idea, because where its at now I have a lot more room and if we move it to the other wall then I wont have much room to put my bean bag chair which will most likely end up in front of the closet again. But, we'll come to that when we come to that. Its just that right now its in front of the window so my mom doesn' t like that. There are two little secret compartments, or cabinets as they should more aptly be called. One on each side. They open up to the space behind where the top drawers and desk end and you can climb back there and sit on the roll out bed. Hehe, its such an awesome hiding spot. You just have to make sure not to step on the plywood that's supporting the desk and the drawers, though! I swear, I'm going to have an awesome game of hide-and-go-seek one day....I'll hide there and no one will ever find me! Well, since I wanted to help set-up my bed, I didn't go to my dad's today. I'm going tomorrow morning, though. But, this be all for now because I'm not even supposed to be on...I only got on becaue I couldn't get ahold of my mom(she's going to the bar with Lonnie >.>)...so I had better get off. -DDG Day: 117

Fightin' words, eh?

Yeah, thems be fightin' words alright. You're going down, Shinmaru. No stopping me. I've got all the free time in the world to spend brooding about what to post about. An entire day pretty much in a house by myself...just to think about what I'm going to post about later that night. It shall be a fight to the death. Each of our...egos are at stake? I dunno about me. Have I ever had an ego? Now, I know Shinmaru's surely got one. I shall claim his ego after he loses...yes, that's it. God, talking about "egos" is reminding me of "eggos." Those waffles are good, too... Ugh, but now thinking about syrup is making me sick. Too much sugar...blech, chocolate, syrup, candy...all disgusting(for the moment). All that sugary fattening junk just makes my stomach churn. I can't even explain how I came to hate sugar most of the time...it just happened over the summer before sixth grade. I went on a "diet" that I put myself on, and somehow made msyelf hate sugar and not want to eat it and make myself fat anymore. Now the thought of it just makes me sick... But enough about that. *silence* Of course, there's not much else to talk about...except my room looks empty. I took down most of my posters and stored them away in a box. Then I put all of my DVD's and manga into another box. And then, I put a bunch of crap from in my closet into(dun dun dun) a box. Now I have atleast five boxes full of crap that are shoved in my closet. Why, you may ask? Because my bed came in. Its coming home tomorrow and going to be set up real soon. *grins* So I put all the stuff that I want to put in the drawers and stuff that come with it into boxes and then moved a few other things where those other things originally were. And while sorting things today, I tossed a bunch of crap out. I went through all of the drawers on the tower thingy I have; I went through all of my folders...and I came to a conclusion that I inherited pack rat-ness from Dad and Grandpa Leroy...I'm not as bad as Dad, though, and Dad's not as bad as Grandpa Leroy...so that would make me the least worst of them. If that makes sense. But, its like, I don't want to throw stuff out. I'll stare at a piece of paper for ten minutes, trying to decide whether or not I'll need this later. And once I throw it out, I'll have these feelings of regret and want it back, having to force myself not to dig it back out of the garbage and keep it. I've got so many notebooks, drawings, random papers with paragraphs and sentences on them, school work, etc that I don't have any room for anything. Ah, but enough about that. I have to go now...and take a shower. -DDG Day: 116
