Mwahahaha....MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Hehe. *maniacle laugh* Its down to just you, and me. Me and you. Uh, me and Shinmaru. Yeah, that's it. I've been waiting so fricken long...its down to the final two on the 115th day of the Daily Posting Contest, a.k.a. TehSillyCircus 2. Hehee......I'm so...hm...I dunno. Maniacly happy. Yep, that's the right phrase thingamabob. YOU'RE GOING DOWN, SHINMARU! MASTER, UH, DORKINATOR! Dorkinator...yeah, lame. Well, its only 6:05 PM right now...so, nothing's happened. Except Math Club and that me and Xio have been watching a bunch of stuff on Homestar Runner.com...other than that, nothing else has happened. Except that I've been maniacly laughing. Because its down to the last two in the contest. Xio says its scaring her. And it damn well should. Maniacle laughs are supposed to be scary. Well...hmmmmmmm....alright, guess that's all then. Unless I think of something else to say. Which I wont. I'm sure. Although I did have something that I wanted to say, but I forgot. -DDG Day: 115 [Look! In the sky! Its a bird! Its a plane!

'Are you guys just going to lounge around all day in your underwear?'

"They're not underwear, sis." "They're boxers!" "Yeah, we probably will." Thank you to the three people who did wish me a very happy one-year anniversary. (Linkage in this post will be given out to those three) Well, Mimmi might find this interesting: I've began drawing a Naruto manga. Yeah, a Naruto manga. Its fun, too. ^_^ I've only drawn three pages so far, but I'm spending a lot of time on each page. I think the page I finished up last night took me a good three, four hours maybe to draw. Then the one I did this afternoon took me about two hours or so. I've having a lot of fun doing it, too. I don't even have an actual story thought of. I think its just going to be one of those things that I do as I go along with it. So far its looking promising in a few aspects. One, its fun and two the more I draw for it, the better I seem to get. (There's a considerable difference between the first page and the third page. Of course, nothing shall beat those awesome feet I drew >.> You'll see when I scan it eventually...someday...) And because I feel quite random and have no idea what else to say. Pluggage to Solo and Shinmaru. May they both have a merry day. And may you all have a merry day, for I am having a great day! Today has been prosperous for me. I got the best grade on the Changes In Matter unit test that we took in sceince, out of the whole eighth grade. A nice 48/50. If I could have thought up of a better chemical change I could have gotten a perfect 50/50. But alas, I could not...chemical changes are such hard things to think of when one is taking a test. I've also discovered that I am much ahead of Joy in my Jumpstart in reading the Lord of the Rings books. We are having somewhat of a competition at the moment...and I seem to be ahead by a large amount of pages. I also found out that I have 199 points accumulative of this and last marking period. I believe anyhow. I may have a tad bit over 200 considering the tenths of a point I have. I know I have 158.6 for this marking period and 41. something for last marking period, so, I may have just over 200. I believe I do. Somewhere around 200.2 or something like that. Just depends on how many tenths of a point I had the first marking period. We finished the Outsiders in English and then when we had some free time at the end of class Mrs. Stratton and I began discussing the Lord of the Rings books. She asked me if I had read the Hobbit. I informed her that I had wanted to, but the library did not have a copy of it in at the moment. She then offered to see if she could bring a copy of it in for me. I was delighted and gladly accepted. And last but not least, to almost round off today's most awesome day, I achieved 100% on our test in Spanish. Yes. So cool. And now if you'll excuse me for the moment, I have something I wish to prepare before typing. 2000 VISITS! THANK YOU ALL FOR VISITING MY SITE AND ALLOWING ME 2000 VISITS! Ain't that just the perfect thing to happen the day after my first OtakuBoards anniversary? So awesome. I first discovered that I had 1999 visits during Health this morning and I was ecstatic about hopefully achieving 2000 by the end of the day. And now that I have, I don't know what to say, other than what I've already said. I just thank you all so much. And now I must go off and...eh, do something else. Or something. Or maybe just brood because Xio went home sick or something and took my notebook with her. *shakes fist* Damn her. I was in the creative mood tonight, too. *shifty eyes* No. I don't mean the creative mood to draw little pictures in the margins of my notebook that have little or no relevance to the story at all...of course not. *slides off* -DDG Day: 114 [Click on the Monkey!]

Yay! Happy one year anniversary to me!

Commentry to Commentry: Crucifix: Nope, you're not the only one! Yay for Full Metal Alchemist! Haruko: I'm not the scrooge, Lonnie's the scrooge. You should have seen him yesterday. He HATES Christmas shopping. Panda: I don't completely hate buying gifts, but I don't exactly like buying gifts. But I do share the same problem with money. *flips pockets inside out and releases a fly* Notta thing in there. 'Cept that fly... *grins* HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO ME!!!! Celebrate it far and wide, for days on end(or just today) for today is my one year anniversary at OtakuBoards! Yay! It seems like it was only a short time ago that I signed up there. But now that its been a year I realize just how fast the time has flown. But then again, it seems as if I've been signed up at OtakuBoards for much longer, but I have not. It has only been one year filled with adventure, discovery and many new friends! So I thank you all for being such great friends and for visiting my site here. And I thank everyone whom I have RPed with or I have PMed or of whom I've made a banner or avatar for. Or some other kind of graphic. I thank everyone who's ever made a graphic for me. I thank everyone who's ever encouraged me and who's ever done, well, anything for me! I thank you all for being my friends for so long. Without you, who knows where I'd be. Probably still here, just without friends... But, that is besides the point. Today is a time for celebrating! Ok, so maybe I'm not going to be doing that much celebrating, but I will be on AIM for a little while today, so if you want, drop me a message. And if you can't do that, drop me a PM either here or at OB. I'd greatly appreciate it! *hugs everyone, far and wide, for being such great people and friends* -DDG Day: 113 [http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail113.html] EDIT: Scratch the AIM. Darned pop-up blockers wont let me open the buddy list. Even after I've turned them all off. Well, just drop me a comment or a PM or something!

I she be your girlfriend

Damn. I don't know what to say. Should've posted earlier when I had something in my head to say, but now I've forgotten. Figure I might as well post at 3 AM rather than accidentally forget to post later today. Mom's picking me up at around noon so I can go back home and spend time with her and Robin and everyone to help decorate the tree and stuff. And make ornaments, although I'm not making any ornaments. *sour look* I think I'm going to head off to bed soon. I'm getting tired, its cold and I want to write or something...or draw. Either one will do. *marvels at Full Metal Alchemist* God I love this show. Its so awesome....yay for Ed and Al! I think we're going shopping again today. Only each of us kids is getting $100 to spend on gifts. My mom say she'll help me because I'm horrible at thinking of gifts. >.> You know, right now I just wish the holidays were over...yeah, they can be fun but sometimes they just plain suck. And right now I say I'm already sick of them and they really haven't begun. Maybe its just all freaking shopping. I hate Christmas shopping. Such a horrible thing...once its all over everythings fine and dandy though. Well, hmm...I'm heading off to "bed" now. -DDG Day: 112 [http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail112.html]

Oh joy!

You would never guess what I finally got today. Never. Ok, maybe you could. Maybe even on the first try... Well, maybe not the first try. I do want a lot of things these days. But whats five words long, starts with an M, G, S, C, and B and features my all time favorite video game character? Metal Gear Solid Comic Book, baby! Issue's #1 and #2. They were relatively cheap, but they were also relatively short. Even though the artwork isn't by Shinkawa, they still look pretty good, although I had to stare at some of the pictures for a few minutes to get what was going on ^_^; There are some hilarious pictures, though. Like this one. That picture...god, it just looks so much like he's playing an air guitar. Does it not? =P to Sen! This post is going to take me like, more than an hour to do because I still need to do those damned scans. In the meanwhile, enjoy some Homestar Runner! Ok, back again with scans: Notebook #1: Notebook #2: Secret Code?- I remember what this was about, but I can't remember what it stood for. It was some kind of rhyme that's going to be DELETED from that part of the story anyway. But it can make for some interesting acronym coming up-ness. Whoever comes up with the funniest phrase for part of it gets a free cookie! Letters: MTCTrMVIRYRRIC ROETCMEGVCSNT I think I was going back and forth, so, technically they'd be read like this: MRTOCETTRCMMVEIGRVYCRSRINCT o_O Oh, and before anyone insinuates something...eh, dirty about the little pictures, the one on the left is a lever, the other, a button. Diagrams are your friend.- Just a little diagram I drew so I could figure out how to explain where things were. Its for a future part of the story, so I had to blur a few things out. If you'll notice, however, the one on the right is written with shaky handwriting, meaning I was drawing it on the bus at the time. Then it was scribbled out later and redrawn on the right, a bit differently. Notebook #3: Crude Illustration She Be- Tis just one of the many crude illustrations I have throughout my notebooks. 'Course I can't and refuse to scan some of them. Some of them are just too horrible for me to look at and the other one's would give away stuff. Crude map of sorts- Yeah, just a map that I drew to help me...um, navigate through part of the story. Yeah, that's it. Navigate. Can't say anymore though. Specially about the "Start" and "Finish". And the dotted line. Hehe, maybe its a treasure map? Notebook #4: Toilet joke...- Just a joke that an old friend of mine told me. I wrote it down...on the bus. The joke goes as such: *shaking hands with someone while telling the joke* What's your name? *person tells name* Do you have a house? I have a box. Do you have a bedroom? I have a box. Do you have a bathroom? I have a box. Do you use toilet paper? I use my hand. Yeah, I'm sure most everyone's heard it, but that's just so it could be interpreted... Notebook #5: Behold! Spongebob!- Behold the almightyness of Spongebob! And those Plugg stickers. Those, too. If you can't guess, the blurred out part IS my address and phone number. Blurred out for obvious reasons. >.> Oh, and I DON'T sign my name like that anymore. Nope. Redeveloped my style in signing since I did that. Alright. That be all for now. I'll put up some more tomorrow or something. -DDG Day: 111 (Not the accursed 111! Its an evil number!!1!!!!111111!!!!1!)

...........................

.......................................... ........ . ..... ............ I'm not even going to talk about what's bugging me right now. *scowl* Commentry: Mimmi: *resisting urge to speak of spoilers* Haruko: Hell, you think my life's interesting? What the hell am I going to talk about? Today's post might be kind of interesting. Tomorrow's will be better, though. So....today....was, well, interesting I guess. See, in Social Studies we had an auction for our mini-society and, well... Alfred, he sold Donald. Yes, he sold a human being as a slave for the remaining part of the class. And guess who bought him? That's right, I did, damnit! I bought him for $24! Which is quite a lot of money...for other people. Seeing as I'm a PayMaster I get more money than other people do, so I had $41 to start out with in class today, while everyone else had 'round $31. Now I have about $17 left. Hehe, then after class I started going around and telling other 8th graders that they should sell themselves. A few people considered the idea. I know Jeff K. wanted to sell himself, but I talked to him after he had Social Studies and he said he didn't. I also know that Brittany H. sold herself to Brittany M. and that Xio wanted to sell Emry. I don't know if she actually did or not. Me and a few other people in my class are conspiring to sell some people next auction. Heh, our mini-society has a slave trade! But, Levi and I are planning to sell Jerome the next chance we get. At first I was going to sell Jeff, but we couldn't come to a compromise on how much money each of us would get(he kept trying to get the larger half and I kept telling him 50-50). So then I asked Levi during Math and he wouldn't fairly come to a compromise either, because then Jeff wanted in on it. During CEWT I told Levi that we should both sell Jerome. He said that it was an awesome idea and that we would. Then Adam commented and said, "Who the hell would want to buy Jerome?" I laughed and said that we'd have to add some accessories. Levi suggested we add Adam, free of charge in the deal. Adam completed refused...but no worries; I've got exactly what I'm going to say when I'm trying to sell Jerome all down. Plan for tomorrow's post: Interesting side notes. Yeah, very vague. To go into more explanation...I'm going to flip through my notebooks and scan the little side notes I made all throughout them. Mind you, I can't scan all of them, because if I did, they might give some of the story away. Heh, you should see the notes me and Xio have been writing back and forth to each other in my current notebook. And you should see the little drawings I drew in it last night. One of them's hilarious. And the other one I was proud of because I was attempting to draw the character with an extremely scared expression and I did it perfectly. On my first try. In pen. Blue pen. Hehe, and blackmail was being discussed on the page, so at the top I drew a little envelope and wrote next to it: Blackmail? And then below it: Blue mail! Because I wrote it in blue and then shaded it in. I slept all day today...its 11:08 PM right now. My dad was coming to pick me up, but he called a little while ago and said he couldn't make it. So, I guess I'll be over there in the afternoon tomorrow. Its ok, though; since I've got Monday off I'll still be over there about three days or so. -DDG Day: 110!

Too soon. . .must. . .postpone. . .in. . .anyway. . .physically. . .possible!

Commentry on commentry: Mimmi: *grabs the bucket and follows after Mimmi* Panda: Yes, the snow was very fun. And extremely productive. But the no power part wasn't fun. It did get a bit cold that morning... Revoluton: That's awesome that you're reading The Outsiders. I do hope you get to see the movie; it's quite good, even though I still believe the book is much better. Mimmi: I thought a layout change would be nice. More wintery. And more Kakashi-y. Plus I felt inspired and had a great time doing it =D Haruko: Melting snow + sudden drop in temperature = fun ice to "paralyze" ones self on. So, lets see here. *pulls out a piece of paper and clears throat* Ahem. First on the order of business: My website is re-reopened. Along with (another) new layout and successfully integrated SSI coding. Took me a full two hours to work out the bugs with some of the coding, but its all done now. The layout I made completely by looking over the different parts of this webpage. God, that webpage has just been such an awe inspiring, um, inspiration. Its successfully given me a layout I can be ultimately satisfied with! It started out that I just wanted to figure out a layout for the Anime sections. Then, after two or maybe two and a half hours toil of editing and re-editing HTML coding in notepad then loading it into an internet explorer page while offline, I finally found a layout that looked snazzy. Deciding that the layout was "snazzy" as I put it, I began designing the home page in the same way. And lo and behold, this is what came of it. Of course, that's the only page I've managed to code so far, excluding the home page for the Naruto section I'll be doing, but that's not uploaded yet. A few other useful things have been brought to my attention after wandering around my new webhost: a free message board, guestbook, blogger and a few other things. I set up the guestbook and message board, played around with the message board and was a bit dissatisfied with the limited amount of tools, but since the link comes straight from my domain name, I think I'll keep it...I'll play around with it for awhile and then announce that its open...eventually. There are a few cool things about it, too. I didn't have time before I had to go back home to implement the guestbook into a page correctly. It gave me an error, but I'll figure it out tomorrow or something. And now to quickly explain what I was indicating in the subject: the official end to everything involving the writing of my story is coming soon. With the amount that I've been writing lately, I'd say within a month and half, maybe two months. Maybe even less than that. I believe I've already said that once I get my new computer I shall begin typing up more story once again, but this time with much more detail and stuff. Trust me, it'll be a whole lot different from the crap I've got up now. *rolls eyes* But, I've reached the writing of the second to last After Story Extra. With the finishing of this one and the last one, all that will be left are the few planned "Back In Time" (short stories involving certain events that were never mentioned in the main story or in an ASE(After Story Extra), or may have been, or may not have been, hinted at during the story, that happened during a characters life) and some "Things that could never ever happen, should never ever happen and would never ever happen". Then, its done. God, to think, I've been writing this for two years and its almost at its end. Its bringing tears to my eyes right now. But, I gotta go...I'll ramble about my story more tomorrow I guess. -DDG Day: 109...?

Everybody knows it. . .everybody knows its true! Oh yeah. You gotta do the best you can. And work out twice a day. Don't ask me why I said it. Cause I already forgot.

Big snowstorm = no school. Yep, no school today. There was a snowstorm last night. Really heavy snow that knocked the power out at 3 AM(I was still up...half asleep.). It flashed on and off for about a minute before it stayed off and it hadn't came back on at around 8:30 AM when I got up again. So, school was cancelled. I think everyone in Vestaburg is without power right now. Well, most people anyway. About 50% of Mount Pleasant doesn't have any power right now; all of their school's are closed, too. But there's still power here at my dad's, so that's where I am. Typing up this post. I'm not going to make it long. If I try to I'll probably get cut off if the power goes out again. It did a little after I got here. Its just flashing on and off occasionally. I told Josie there's probably a branch or something touching the wire. The road's are icy. Its cold. But atleast we got the day off of school. But, I was actually looking forward to going today because we were going to watch The Outsiders in English. Everyone's been wanting to watch it. ;_; We'll probably have a Wednesday schedule tomorrow, though and watch it then. Friday will probably be a Thursday schedule. Heh, I get the day of my first year anniversary at OB off. That's this upcoming Monday. There's a teacher in-service at school so we got the day off. I'll still be at my dad's then. Maybe I'll throw some kind of party...or maybe I'll just sit at the computer and do what I normally do. Make it a nice quiet day to celebrate... Or something like that. I don't care what goes on; as long as I enjoy the day... -DDG Day: 108 [http://homestarrunner.com/sbemail108.html]

*snore*

I just woke up from a nice, long nap. Ah, it was so comfortable and much needed. But now I feel even more tired than I did when I fell asleep. Always seems to happen like that, but I still enjoyed sleeping for a few hours. I'll still be able to fall asleep tonight, too. My mom always says I never will, but I always do. Heh. Xio says she thinks that the part of my After Story Extra that I just wrote is disgusting, but she likes how I worded it. The minister droned on while two people were clutching their stomachs in agony... Dialogue scenes vs. descriptive scenes. I always seem to end up with a mixture of both, which is good I suppose... I've been so proud of myself lately in the way that I've been writing. I mean, its almost as if my writing has been improved tenfold over a few nights. Its just so cool. And once I get my new computer, I'll start typing up my story again. New and improved. Revised version 2! My domain name was finally transferred. Now I've just got the task of getting my files from Yahoo! to my new host. That'll take me all weekend to do but I'll be happy when I'm finished. Next I plan on inserting a few new bits of HTML. Like, tables inside tables. (I always seem to have trouble with those...I think I'm going to experiment with them for a little while...) Oh yeah, and now that my domain's all set-up and transferred I can begin work on the fanlisting that I applied for and was approved. My Mia fanlisting got rejected because someone else got to it first. But that's ok, my Blackwargreymon application was approved and now that I can use .php extensions I should really be able to work on it. I've got a few other ideas in mind for fanlistings, but I wont mention them until I receive the email that they are approved or rejected. =P Well, think I'm done now... -DDG Day: 107 [http://homestarrunner.com/sbemail.html]

Spread the disease!

Haha, the "Naruto Disease" as Xio and I have begun to call it, has spread and infected her. She says she's been just downloading chapter after chapter. I told her on the phone just a moment ago, "I told you its addicting!" She agreed and really wished she would be allowed to get online to download more chapters. Haha, I grabbed volume 1 of Naruto and started reading funny passages from it so we could reminisce over what had happened. Man, I just can't wait until she catches up to where I am so we can discuss everything I've read, too. Until then I'm content to discuss chapters that I read quite awhile ago. Even if I can't quite remember them completely. Oh, and whoo! We got a new computer here at my mom's. It's so awesome. Its an HP with Windows XP so its just like the one at my dad's. Hah, its been so funny to watch Lonnie try and locate things. Its used to the old computer and hasn't quite gotten the hold of where everything is located on the new one. And when I say, "New computer", I mean new everything. ^_^ New mouse, new speakers, new moniter, new keyboard and, obviously, new CPU. Can't wait 'till I get my new one for Christmas...and I can't wait until I get my new bed! Whee! Mom says that'll be in sometime before Christmas. I'm almost all ready for it right now. She told me to start taking my knicknacks and whatnot down from my dresser so we could get the shelves and stuff moved downstairs. I got them all packed into a box and wrapped in newspaper. The shelves look so lonely though. They're all empty. Well, mostly. I've got two easter buckets that are filled with crap(I can be a bit of pack rat, just like my dad, he's really bad though...) that I wont get rid of. Also a few pins that I've been picking up off the floor. The last person to borrow my pins didn't screw the cap on the pill bottle they're in back on and when I picked the bottle up by the cap they spilled everywhere. *sigh* I have a bit of a dark carpet and its been hard to make sure I've gotten them all. I picked up all of the one's I could find last night but I stepped on two earlier today and found about five more after that. But, anyway. Hunting was successful yesterday. Lonnie got a yearling. Heh, everyone's been calling him kid-killer because of it. We're all saying he should've just let it go, but then again, those of us who are going to be tasting that meat....ah, we just can't wait 'till its all cut up. Yeah, it its a bit sad that he killed the yearling, but he really wanted to get a deer before the season was over. (Last day for rifle season: tomorrow!) It was a pretty long shot. 'Round 200 yards I'd say. Maybe a little more, maybe a little less. I actually wasn't with him before he got the deer. I'd went out to the last blind(which is called Gary's blind, because it belongs to a man named Gary) with Richard. Damnit, if we'd have waited about 15 more minutes before we'd left and restocked the bait pile, we could've had a few. We saw three deer dash off as we were walking towards it. Ah, well, couldn't be helped. We were getting a bit impatient anyway. Then as we were walking to Lonnie's blind where he and Blaike were, Richard put his rifle up and spotted a deer with his scope. He pointed it out to me and I just barely got a glimpse of it before Lonnie had his gun up and had shot. But, dang, that was a long shot. *changes the time on the clock in the bottom corner* Damned thing was bugging me. It was in Pacific Standard Time instead of Eastern Standard Time. Guess no one's bothered to change it since the computer was set up. Well, as Xio informed me over the phone, there is a new Strong Bad email to be watched. I'll see if I can get that to load on the computer quickly. Then I'll probably check my email, maybe stop by OB for a moment and then head off to the new AR book I'm reading. I discovered it was an AR book recently when I was browsing through the list and remembered I had it at home. Its called Alien Secrets and it's really good. I'm almost done with it and I just started it a few hours ago. -DDG Day: What're we on now? 106? [http://homestarrunner.com/sbemail106.html] Oh yeah, and before I forget, the link in the last post doesn't work. I tried it just before I left but didn't get the time to fix it, so, just head to the Homestar Runner website and find it yourself.
