'What the hell is that supposed to mean?'

My dad found a GameBoy game in a car or something. He gave it to me. Its Kirby's Dreamland. Let me just say, that that game is totally awesome! I would have played it more, but I forgot my charger for my SP at home and my batteries ran dead. Meh, I'll have to recharge the thing tomorrow so its all charged up when we go camping on Saturday. =D Blended in like montra: Pain. Pain. Pain. Hey, BlueYoshi, can you guess which movie I watched earlier? Yup, I finally watched The Cooler. It is a great movie. I really do suggest that anyone who hasn't seen it, see it. God, Shelly was just so awesome...*drools* If I only had a dollar... Huh, random titles. I think I'm finally really making progress in my Pokemon Ruby game. I'm only 25 Pokemon away from completing the Pokedex which is entirely awesome. I got my 175th Pokemon today. An Azurill. Which I named AzureWolf. Eh, yeah... Which reminds me that I've started naming my Pokemon after myO and OB members. I only have three named after an OB or myO member so far, which would be AzureWolf, Sara, and Shin. (Shin better damn well be thankful for me plugging his site so damn much lol) Azure Shin Sara Interesting. Now if you'll excuse me, its time for me to go eat some sweets. Yes. I'm going to post this and go eat some sweets and some pizza, too. Oh, and before I forget: Everyone should give Panda their well wishes. -DDG EDIT: Right. I knew I would forget something. I'm going to start adding the next parts of my story directly to the Story Archive so as not to lengthen my posts with them because, well, that's sort of cheating. I'll just bold the new parts of the story when I put it in and then notify you all through myO.

'Yeah, yeah, cut the formalities. What do you want?'

I've been listening to A Silhouette of Doom all night after having clicked on the link before beginning to read Heaven's Cloud's post in Kill Adam Volume 2. Hm. The funny thing is, is that the song didn't finish loading until about fifteen minutes after I had finished reading the post, heh. Well, anyway...there are some things I'd like to discuss with Shin that have to do with TehSillyCircus 2. I'd like to join in the competition, but, I'll be gone this weekend for three whole days on a camping trip as you all know so I wont be anywhere near a computer. T_T I figure that maybe if I write a super long post tomorrow, it'll make up for about three days worth of posts while I'm away. So right after this post, I plan on PMing Shinmaru about it. Thing just keep getting stupider and stupider... This is just something that I've noticed lately, but kids movies these days seem to be getting stupider and stupider. Like the most recent ones(that I can name off the top of my head) ThunderBirds and Super Babies: Baby Geniuses 2. Now, I've seen neither movie so I can't really say much, but from the commercials they seem pretty dumb. The first Baby Geniuses was a great movie and I especially loved it, but Baby Geniuses 2 just looks plain stupid. I dunno. Maybe its just the fact that I'm older now and these kinds of movies really don't interest me anymore, but, still, I'm sure that even if I was younger I wouldn't be interested in these movies. Also, this is still just my opinion, some kids movies these days seemed to be 'dumbed down'. Like, they lack plot design and good dialog. I still have a lot of the kids movies that I used to watch when I was younger, and even they had better plot and dialog then today's kids movies. But that's just me and I like to have something to complain about. Cleaning sucks. My mom told me last night that I needed to clean my room today, so I decided that instead of wasting an entire hour that could be used for sleeping or playing video games today, why not just clean my room right then? So I did and I ended up organizing my little drawer thingy, where I found numerous interesting things. One was my little internet notebook where I had written down various email addresses, URLs, screennames and whatnot. There wasn't much of interest in it, except a few URL's that I had forgotten about. But anyway, this is what I was most interested in: You see there? Right in the middle? Metal Gear Solid. Now that I've found the case to the demo disc that it was on, I know which disc to get the next time I go to my Grandma and Grandpa's house. Although, I'm pretty sure that my other demo disc has Metal Gear Solid on it, too. I dunno. I'm going to take both of them, though. Along with a few of my other PlayStation games. There's a perfectly good reason why my PlayStation and PlayStation games are over there and that reason is because it gets pretty boring over there so I volunteered to bring my PlayStation and games over there so I have something to do. I'm sure that some of you recognize the back cover of the demo disc I scanned, right? Ah, I remember the disc very well. I have many good memories from playing that demo disc. Lots of memories. Two days? What do you mean two days? Yeah, the camping trip is only two days away. I'm hoping that my laundry is done when I go back to my mom's house later today or tomorrow(not sure which..). I'm sure it will be; my mom'll probably have finished it for me and even packed for me. >.> I can pack for myself, but she seems to always get to it before I do. But, I don't mind. Its just less things I have to do. I mean, I've already got to remember to bring my CD's, CD player, GBA, GBA SP, GBA connector cable, GBA games, GBA SP charger and batteries. Packing for myself would just totally throw me off and I'd probably forget one of the above things. I'm thinking about taking my Anime DVD's but I doubt the cabin will have a DVD player. lol. Well... Well, I figure I'll go to bed in about a half hour at 5 AM. Its not like I've got anything to right now anyway, but I find that I should go to bed just before my step-mom gets up to go pick up my dad from jail for work release. So as to avoid an interesting conversation. Of course, she knows that I stay up 'till 5 AM anyway, but still... Well, that's all from me. -DDG

'Don't even try it, unless you've always wondered what your brains looked like.' Sonny chuckled at this. 'On second thought, go ahead, I'm sure you don't even have enough brains to splatter all over that wall behind you.'

That quote right there is the reason why Sonny is Xio's favorite character in my story. >.> She actually told me to use that as my subject title last night while we were talking on the phone. I agreed that I would; its not like I had any other quote in mind anyway. Oh, lets see... This is my domain Well, when my mom picked me up from my dad's the other day, we discussed websites. The only reason the subject had been brought up was because my mom had gotten Aairco(her heating and coolinb business) a website and she wanted me to help with it because she has literally no experience with webdesign. She said that there was only one page and that she had paid people like, $400 to do it. I was very astounded by how much she had paid them to do it, but then saw how well it had been constructed later. You can visit the site here if you'd like. But, anyway, as we were talking about websites, she brought up mine. She knew I had a website, but, she really didn't know anything about it. So I told her what it was called and what it was about. She, not really one who's into Anime, didn't say much. I then explained to her about domain names a bit and told her that Geocities' charge for owning a domain name was pretty cheap. She then said that since it was so cheap, she would let me get a domain name for my website. How cool is that? Awesome. Yes, I know. How 'bout you let them go and I tell you next Tuesday? Hehe, I got this free DVD from my Golden Grahams cereal box the other day at my dad's and it had two episodes of Heathcliff and one episode of Super Mario Bros. 3 on it. I finally watched them today and they were so funny. ^_^ The Super Mario Bros. episode reminded me that I have a Super Mario Bros. tape at my dad's house somewhere. I swear, that video was my absolute favorite when I was younger. I watched it all the time. I plan on going downstairs to look for it the next time I go over there, too... If that's sarcasm... Azure, that better not be sarcasm about my Anime Listing. >=( =P Well, I have to go, so, later everyone. -DDG

'Yeah, where'd you get that idea?'

I'm finally using the subdirectories feature that Geocities has...I can't believe I just thought about it now. Damn, after creaing all of these categories, moving pages and renaming them, do you know how f*cking long its going to take me to edit all of the pages and insert the new URLs???? Well, I guess I'll live. Atleast I've finally found a way to keep track of all of my pages and whatnot, heh. On other website related news, I've started to create a fanlisting of my own. Its going pretty well and its proving to not be all too difficult a thing to make. Hell, if I keep working on it at the rate I've been all night, I might have it almost completed by the time I go to bed. I plan on making other fanlistings as well. Actually, I know I will be, especially if this one gets rejected from TheFanlistings.org. Because if it does, then I'll want to make another one and correct my misakes on my first one. Comedies made my night Well, when I went back to my mom's house last night after spending a few hours at my dad's, I decided to watch some of the other movies that we had rented. We had rented four movies, one of which was Kill Bill Volume 2 and the other three were 13 going on 30, Starsky and Hutch and Johnson Family Vacation. Since I was in the mood for some comedy, I decided on watching Starsky and Hutch and Johnson Family Vacation. They were both absolutely hilarious! I'm sure they probably would have been even funnier had it not been 1 AM and myself being a bit tired. *sighs* Damn you NetZero. Damn you. I'm getting sick of you, you f*cking unreliable f*cking ISP. All I'm trying to do is write up a myO post and you f*cking disconnect me for inactivity because its been about...oh, lets see...two minutes since I last did anything. Oh. Wow! I've been really inactive haven't I? *grumbles more curse words at NetZero* Whatever. If that just doesn't piss you right off...this will. You all remember that guy I was talking about? From a friend of mine's forums? Well, he responded to my PM that I sent him I don't know how long ago. I can't tell you exactly what he said because I deleted the PM, but it did go something like this: Your being smart about it and that's making me mad. That's almost as if he's saying being smart is a bad thing. God, what a jackass. Since I'm really getting fed up with the whole ordeal, all I said was this: Fine dude, whatever. Well, I said something like that... I've made only one new Metal Gear Solid banner. Its pretty good. I guess. Well, I like it, but, I mean, I made it so I really have to like it, lol. Could you be any slower? I really must say, OB seems really, really slow to me. I mean, I've barely found anything to post in there that's caught my interest, nobody's posted in any of the current RPG's that I'm in, Tony still doesn't have Torment up and I just haven't been interested in any of the new RPG's that have been posted to sign up for them. Thank god OB's not the only place I ever go to, or I wouldn't have anything to do when I'm on the internet. Finally, the trip nears Yep, the camping trip that me, my mom, Lonnie, Blaike, Xio and Robin are going on is finally nearing. Today is the 16th of August and the first day of our camping trip is the 21st so the trip is... Holy crap. Its a lot closer than I thought it was. Its only five days away. Five days! Which reminds me, I need to get ahold of Xio because I have something extremely hilarious to tell her, if she hasn't seen it already. Which also brings up the point that she hasn't updated since the 4th and I haven't seen her on MSN or OB for awhile either...I know she was going camping with her family, but, jeez, I know she can't still be camping. School. Is. Coming. Soon. School's going to be starting soon. I go back the 31st, so that's in about...15 days. Oh, and my dad gets out of jail in about 24 days. =D Gah, I hate my school. Bunch of hicks. I was looking at the school year planner thing that they sent us, and we only get 11 days off for Christmas Break. 11 days! Last year we got like, 15 or 16! I think our Spring Break is around 9 or so days long... My school must be trying to make us not have any vacation. Like, every year they'll slowly shorten our vacations, day by day until we have none left. Then, they'll take away our weekends and then, they'll take away our entire summer! Yes. I'm sure that's what they're doing. Don't you all think so? Its all a conspiracy. Just like doors and Gatorade bottles. Oh right, you're all waiting for me to post my story, aren't you? Alright, I'll finally do it. I would have posted it during one of my last updates, but I wanted to make sure that Mimmi was back from London and wasn't going to miss any. =P Continuing from, uh, eh, where we left off...last week. Yeah. “Ok, Vercetti. You’re ready to go to your cell. It is 3C. Here are your clothes.” The doctor informed me and handed me my clothes. I quickly put them on while he gave me a little advice. “Don’t get into too many fights or the stitches will let go and it wont heal right.” He warned. I nodded and left the hospital section of the jail. I slowly walked to my cell. I opened the door and saw Victor already in there, changed, looking at my drawings that were still here from yesterday. I laughed. “You like those?” I asked. Victor looked at me. “Hey Tommy. Yeah, they’re pretty cool.” He said. “Flip them over.” I instructed. Victor flipped them over and saw that it was a puzzle. He began putting the pieces together and didn’t look surprised when he finished. The pieces of paper put together formed a picture of me, shooting Sonny in the back with a PSG1. “That’s pretty good.” He mumbled. “Maveski, Vercetti, you got visitors ” a cop said banging on the door. The cop unlocked it and let us out. “Vercetti, a young lady suggested you two have a private visiting room. Maveski, you can come with me. Vercetti knows his way around.” The cop said and walked off with Victor. I walked down the hall, toward the private visiting rooms. I opened the door to the one with my name on it. I was instantly tackled by Mercedes and given a huge bear hug. “Oh Tommy! I love you so much! I just had to visit you ” Mercedes squealed, squeezing me tighter. A hidden Cortez spoke up. “Thomas, please take a seat. I must talk to you.” “Wait a minute, if you’re here, then who’s visiting Victor?” I asked worriedly. * * * “Alright Maveski. Just go in. You have ten minutes.” The cop said. Victor opened the door and went in. After closing it, a gun went to his head. He gulped. “Wha, what do you, you want with me?” he nervously asked. Sonny smiled. “Sit down, please. We want to make a deal.” He said, gesturing to the chair across from him at the small table. Victor slowly sat down. He looked around and saw Joey and Tony standing behind Sonny and Luigi blocking the door. “Victor, we wish you to kill Tommy. In the most horrible way imaginable. We are willing to pay two billion dollars for it to be done.” Sonny proposed, a gleam in his eye. Victor glanced at Tony and Joey. Then looked back at Sonny. “I have considered your offer and I-” I suddenly barged down the door. “What do you want with him, Sonny?” I demanded. “Please, do continue Victor.” Sonny prodded. Victor began to sweat and looked back and forth from Sonny, to Joey, to Tony, to me. “Um, uh, and I uh, um, accept! I accept!” he said, sweat now pouring down his face. “Accept what?” I angrily asked. “Um, I, uh-” “He’s accepted to kill you.” Sonny finished for him I sighed. “I really didn’t want to have to do this.” I slammed his head into the table. Victor passed out and fell from the chair. Sonny pulled out his gun from inside his jacket. He aimed it at my head. “Go ahead, Sonny. You’re in a prison. They can just throw you in a cell right away. The inmates will help. Most of them hate you. So do it. I dare you.” I challenged. Sonny scowled. “You’re lucky we’re in a prison or I’d have already blown yours and Victor’s brains out. Instead I’m just going to shoot you somewhere else.” He quickly re-aimed and shot my left arm. Right away I could tell it had gone right through my bone and had cracked it badly. I quickly tore a piece off of Victor’s shirt and tried to wrap it around my arm. I couldn’t do it. It was impossible for me to do it with one hand. Mercedes ran over and took the wrap from me. She wrapped my arm up quickly, still with a gun to her head. She finished and sat down next to me. She held me tightly and dug her head into my shirt. “Come on, let’s go before a cop comes.” Sonny ordered. They all holstered their weapons and walked out the door. “Thomas, let Mercedes take you to the doctor. I will take Victor back to his cell. What is the cell number?” he asked. “It’s 3C and Cortez,” Cortez looked over at me while lifting Victor off of the floor. “Yes, Thomas?” “Victor panicked. He’s not really going to kill me. He just said it to get Sonny off his case. I heard it in his voice.” I explained. Cortez nodded. Mercedes helped me up. She put pressure on my arm as we walked out of the room and made our way to the doctor’s. We reached the doctor’s quickly and I got in right away. Before I went into the Emergency Room we said our good byes and kissed. * * * © Kayla Neff/DDG 2004 Remember to check the Story Archive for the rest of the story! Oh, cool. We're nearing the part of the story where my writing skills really improved. *grins* Well, good night/morning everyone. I'm off to work on my website and surf a few of my friends forums. -DDG (Damn you! Damn you NetZero! They f*cking disconnected me again! This is the second time while writing this post! The second time!)

'You got the money?'

My Akira theme hasn't been up for too long. Well, I guess I really don't know. I can't remember what day I put it up and I couldn't find the post about it in my Archives, but, anyway... If you haven't guessed already, its Metal Gear Solid themed. My older friends will know that this is my second Metal Gear Solid theme. My first one was colored purplish to match my enter banner and this one is orangish to match my enter banner/wallpaper. Oh, yes, and the wallpaper is one of the one's that I made that I submitted. None of the three that I submitted are up yet, I've just got this one hosted on Photobucket. Well, the below post is today's actual update, so don't forget to read that!

'Officer F*ck?'

Hm. Seems that Norton Antivirus has just detected a virus on this computer. And because of that, I'm running a scan on the system so I can get rid of the thing... Damn viruses. I'm at my mom's house right now and I've just finished watching Kill Bill Volume 2 for the third time. Yes, the third time. *grins* I love that movie! Oh, what else...I played Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty a bunch today. I went around collecting dog tags and trying to beat my record of how fast I cleared the Tanker mission. My current record as of today is 1 hour 21 minutes, but I'm sure I can do better, I just get a bit sidetracked sometimes, heh. Speaking of Metal Gear...my story is coming along nicely. In fact, the other night, I wrote down all of the characters of whom I would feature in the story(separated into Good Guys and Bad Guys categories). Then I started writing an outline of the story. Now, the outline was supposed to be general, but, its ended up being written as if someone who witnessed what happened had written it. So that's what I decided it to be. Sort of like what Nastasha Romaneko wrote about Shadow Moses. In the Darkness of Shadow Moses... I'm still writing the 'outline', but once I'm finished it'll be much easier for me to write the actual story because I'll know the general kinds of things that'll happen in the story, who will appear, what direction it'll take, etc. Milestones come and milestones go... I'm nearing a few milestones for my site. My site's hit around 1308 visits and I got my 81st Guestbook signing today. So, soon I'll be celebrating my 1500th visit and my 100th Guestbook signing. Woohoo. You can call it what you want, its still an obsession in my eyes. Well, since my last post I've created three more Metal Gear Solid banners and a wallpaper, which I submitted but, it hasn't been put up yet. T_T Its a really nice wallpaper, so I hope it wasn't rejected or anything. But, anyway, I noticed what BlueYoshi said was true, that I didn't have too many banners with Raiden in them, so I created another one with him. Then I created one with a picture of Liquid's face and Snake's gun, then one, somewhat similar to my other one, of Cyborg Ninja a.k.a. Gray Fox. Really, if you ain't got nothin' to say, then shut up. I've ran out of things to talk about...so I guess I'll go around to everyone site's who've updated today and yesterday and leave you with my latest banners. Liquid's face(left), Snake's gun (right) Raiden Cyborg Ninja a.k.a. Gray Fox. -DDG

'Spare you? What gives you the idea that I might spare you? From what I've heard, you're a fruit. You've been in the looney bin! You should be killed!' - Edited

Sacrifice scenes involving a sword fight is always a great way to make a story more interesting, lol. I actually did research for that particular scene I wrote in my story. I wanted the guy trying to sacrifice Tommy reciting the ten commandments and why/how Tommy had broken each one. First I did research on the internet and found a pretty good website. I've actually still got the link saved on my floppy disk. Then, I flipped through the Bible in my room(yes, I have a bible in my room. I don't know how the thing got in my room, but its in there) and marked the page that had the ten commandments on it. Xio was in the scene. In fact, she just about saved the day. She was also reading over my shoulder as I wrote the scene, so if I did anything bad to her character, she would have beat me into submission... Boxes: A newfound obsession Damn you Metal Gear Solid. Damn you and your acursed boxes! Gah, I seem to have an obsession with boxes. Whenever I'm in a tight situation, I always have the urge to hide myself in a box and hope that no one finds me... And that's not just the game. This is real life we're talking about. Its all Metal Gear Solid's fault, too. Damn Snake and his damned 'obsession' with boxes. I even read a hint somewhere that if you call up Snake on the Codec while hiding in a box, he'll talk about his obsession with them! Then there's that other hint, that talks about a man hiding in a box on one of the connecting bridges between the struts in the plant. Then there's Olga, talking about someone seeing a man hiding in a box and she knowing that it was Snake... What is it with him and boxes anyway? Mad! Mad! You're so...Mad! Crazy! I just love MadTV. Its so hilarious. If I could only choose one show to watch for the rest of my life...alright, so my choice wouldn't be MadTV, but it'd be high up on my list of choices. ^_^; Man, I'll show you a trick, man! I'm going to the fair in a bit. Just as soon my stepmom gets out of the shower. Its one of those fairs that only comes around once a year so, we have to go before its over, heh. I think there's only a few days left of it. I figure I'll leave this post unfinished until I come back from the fair, then post the post at like midnight or something. So, I'll be back to finish this. -Tuesday, August 10th, 2004 1:18 PM . . . *hours go by* . . . -Tuesday, August 10th, 2004 10:58 PM *yawns* Man, am I tired. But I sure had some good fun at the fair. I finally rode this one ride that I wasn't too keen on riding last year and it turned out to be pretty fun. ^_^ They also had a new ride than what they usually have. It was called the Eclipse and...it wasn't very much fun. Too much whiplash. *groans* My fingers are really tired and its difficult for me to type so, I think I'll finish this up right now. Although, I am just going to go work on my website anyway, but I'm mostly just going to be copying and pasting code into the pages so it wont involve much typing... Well, night everyone. Er, good morning. (I'm going to post this at midnight...) -DDG Oh yeah, before I forget...I've been on like a Metal Gear Solid banner making spree. I've made seven in the past few days...lol. If you want to see them, they're randomly appearing in my signature on OtakuBoards and I'll also provide the links below. The effects I used on most of the banners were called Old Photo and Grain. Or something like that. I combined the two and used them because I thought that it made the images look similar to how the faces of 'the Patriots' looked during Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty whent he President was talking about them. I plan on making a bunch more later, once I get some more MGS art. Edit: There's a few more that I made. A few meaning a bunch. While I was working on them, I noticed that I've been using all three of the graphics programs on my computer to almost their fullest advantages. I use PhotoImpression to assemble the banners and for effects and what not, I use the LexMark Photo Editor for other effects(such as black and white and grayscale) and then I use Paint(yes, Paint!) for the borders. With how my banners turn out after using all these three programs together, I have realized that I am a great banner maker. Only in the fact that I don't use a high tech graphics program like Paintshop or Photoshop, but that I use three very simple programs... You know, most people actually ask me whether or not I use Photoshop when I show them my banners. Their reactions are usually of surprise when I tell them that I don't, heh. Well, I hope you enjoyed viewing my masterpieces...

'Alright. You don't have to throw your boot at me. . .'

Man, I'm really getting sick of him. You remember that guy I told you about, like, last week? The one who was calling me name's for no reason? Well, I PMed him and he finally repsonded... ...in a way that really pissed me off. Here's what he said: ill stop if u shut up. im talking to bloody about this.. so ill stop got it? just stay out of my way, plz... That really didn't help me understand why he didn't seem to like me. When the hell had I ever gotten in his way? When? I have never, ever, in my entire time being at those forums, gotten 'in his way'. How the hell could I have gotten in his way? He's a freakin' Global Moderator! What could I have done to have gotten in his way? I sure as hell couldn't have 'closed a thread' before him or something because all I Moderate are the PS 1 + 2, Upcoming Consoles and Show Room boards. So I replied. As politely as I could without going off on him. Ok. I have no idea when I've ever 'been in your way' but fine. I'll never 'get in your way' again. Considering how infuriated at him I am right now, that was a very nice reply. Trust me, I could have been a whole lot meaner, like, swearing at him and whatnot; but no. I decided not to stoop to his level but to be curteous about this whole ordeal. Hmph. Anyway, enough of that. I've been typing up a lot of extra stuff for my story lately. Last night I typed up a family tree that I had written down a while ago. It was a tad bit messy, the version that I had written down so I decided to type it up a little 'less messy'. I think it turned out pretty well. You know, the only reason I actually created the family tree was so that I could establish a family connection between two characters in the story. Two characters who were somewhat of 'rivals'; one on the good side of the law and one on the bad... I've also typed up every single character(well, most of them anyway) who has appeared in the story. I then went and started typing up whether they were married, had kids, and what became of them after the story ended or what became of them during the story. I plan on putting that up once I finish posting the story on here. My Metal Gear story is going along nicely. Unfortunately, I'm writing on black gel pen paper...gah, its so frustrating. Damn gel pens. I wouldn't be writing on the black paper had I not have ran out of notebook paper. Well, I do have one notebook left, but that's the one I'm writing 'The Lethal Identity' in. Ooh, I also drew a picture of Solid Snake the other day. *melts* I then drew a small picture of his head and noticed that when Snake is "Pliskin" in the Plant chapter of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, he looks just like "Big Boss" in Snake Eater! Yeah, yeah. Not much of a discovery considering that Snake is "Big Boss's" "son" and it would make sense that they have some similarities. But still, its fun to know that Snake looks more like "Big Boss" when Snake's not 'being himself' then when he is 'himself'. Eh, you get what I mean? Well, if you don't then...you can kind of just ignore that if you want, heh. I learned a bunch of cool things the other day when I was reading the tips and hints on the Metal Gear Solid website. I haven't actually done many of them yet in the game but I plan to sometime. Eh, I know I promised you guys/gals the story this post but...I'm afraid I'm a bit short on time. My mom wants me to get off and go do the laundry or something like that... Well, thanks for all the comments on my last post everyone. ^_^ -DDG

'What're you so pissed off at me for? What the f*ck did I do other than save your f*cking life!'

Metal Gear Solid = Kick ass! I absolutely love the Metal Gear Solid games. I love them to death! *grins* I've been playing Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty the past few nights until around 5 AM everyday. That game is really addicting! But the bad thing is that the disc as scratches on the back and now I've made it to a point in the game where it just freezes up which means I can't make it any farther. T_T I'm going to have to buy a new disc now but, that's ok because for 1.) its worth it and for 2.) it shouldn't cost all that much to buy. *grins wider* Well, since I've been incapable of going any farther with my first save file, I decided to make another one and in this one collect dog tags and whatnot. Collecting dog tags is fun actually. Especially what the soldiers say when you're aiming a gun at their crotch, lol. Man, some of the soldiers are hardasses though. One of them I was trying to get a dog tag from didn't give a shit what I did to him. I had my M9 out at the time and when I changed it to my USP, oh man did he freak out. He punched me straight in the face, called for back-up and then I quickly shot him and ran into the corner, camoflauging myself with a box. Immediately afterwards, Otacon called me over the Codec and said that I was in the middle of a clearing and that the soldiers coming for me wouldn't be fooled by lousy disguises. I wasn't worried of course. I mean, I was hiding under a box, the perfect disguise, lol. So, when the soldiers came in, they discovered the dead body of their comrade, came around the corner a bit and stared at my box for a moment before one of them took a couple of test shots on it with his gun before deciding that it was just a box. Then they left and the clearing was over. Whew, what a close one, lol! But anyway, I absolutely love the game. I believe I'll buy Substance as well. I know its pretty much the same as Sons of Liberty but I know that it has tons of extras, even a couple of VR missions where you get to play as Snake during the Plant mission =D Then I discovered that you can read several cool things covering the past story. I believe the articles were 'The New York Mirror', some article on 'In the Darkness of Shadow Moses' and 'In the Darkness of Shadow Moses'. Those, along with doing a bunch of research on the games and stuff on the web, really sparked my huge interest in Metal Gear Solid. *grins even wider* I should probably buy the original Metal Gear Solid game for the PS1, too and play through that. Hehe...Snake is so awesome... *coughs* Excuse me a moment while I stare at a picture of Snake... *walks away and comes back around an hour later* Um, sorry about that. Anyway, my interest in Metal Gear Solid has caused me to start my own 'club' on OB. If you're interested, I suggest you check my signature for details. Undecided I'm a bit undecided on what I want for my birthday. Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen are coming out a few days before it, the Metal Gear Solid comic book is going to be released around then, not to mention Kill Bill Volume II is coming out in about a week, but, I expect to have bought that already by the time my birthday rolls around...Ack, so many things I want... I think I'll be getting atleast one of the Pokemon games and then ask for the Metal Gear comic as well. Then maybe throw in a few Anime's or Manga's that I want, too. That's not too much to ask, but, I mean, this is a special birthday. I'm turning 13! Meh, I've got what I want for gifts almost all decided but I have no idea what I'll be doing for my birthday. I'm sure I'll probably just sit at home with a few close friends(few meaning two and close friends meaning Xio and Tre) playing video games or something. Maybe see a movie, too. I'll definitely be having two parties. One at my dad's and one at my mom's. The one at my dad's wont be anything special. My dad is supposed to be out of jail by then so I'll probably play video games or something with him. The only other people who'll be at that party are my step-mom and step-sister, so, nothing special. The birthday party at my mom's will be a bit bigger, but, not by much...I'm not really a fan of big parties. I used to have them when I was younger but now that I'm older my feelings have changed about them. But, anyway, other than playing Metal Gear Solid I haven't been doing much else. My websites coming along nicely. I've finalized what the new name is. It was like, 10 to zilch on what the new name was so my site is now officially renamed TAD: The Anime Datastream. So, thanks a bunch Wandering K for suggesting it! Hm. I talked to Japan for awhile tonight on MSN. Our conversation was repeatedly interupted by my NetZero disconnecting me for inactivity. T_T Can't I type up a long ass myOtaku post without getting disconnecting? *growls* Story I think I've officially ditched my ninja story idea. It was good, but, I just haven't really been inspired to write much in it. Instead I've began writing my Metal Gear story. Its going along nicely, too. It probably wont have as much depth as the games but, I mean, I'm not as a good a writer as Mr. Hideo Kojima is. *hugs Mr. Kojima for creating such an awesome game* Yep, he's awesome. Well, I guess that's all from me. And, no story this post! =P *taunts* Wait 'till next time, alright? -DDG

'You are f*cking crazy. You can't shoot me but you can shoot yourself?'

And because I promised Shin (More plugging of Shin's site! Lol!), this post shall have the very last quiz that I ever post on my site! 1) What is your name? Kayla 2) Date of birth? September 14th, 1991. 3) Sex? Female. 4) Height? Five feet, three inches (four inches when I'm wearing my Vans). 5) Weight? Somewhere around 120 lbs. Now that we finally have that BS out of the way, we can get to the real questions. 6) Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend? No. 7) If you answered ‘yes’ to that question, nice work. If you answered ‘no,’ then why the hell not, you antisocial twit? Because all of the guys at my school(Ok, most of them) are annoying perverts >=( 8) Do you have a crush on someone? Sort of. 9) If you answered ‘yes’ to this, do you fantasize about this person incessantly at all hours of the day? No. Not at all. 10) If you answered ‘no’ to this, do you fantasize about other people incessantly at all hours of the day? Well, no. 11) Do you smoke? No. 12) If you smoke, then why do you smoke? I don't. And that's that. 13) Do you drink? No. 14) Have you ever hitched a ride with Ted Kennedy after getting drunk off your ass at the local pub and ended up getting into an accident that involved you running over Bambi? *licks lips* Oh yeah, Bambi was good... 15) Do you use idiotic adjectives such as ‘ghetto’, ‘pimp’ or ‘player’ to describe yourself? No. 16) If so, why has nobody beaten your ass and dumped your mangled body in the river yet? Because they'll never catch me! Uh, biatch! 17) Do you have a journal (online or otherwise)? Yes. 18) If you answered no, and you are filling this survey out on your blog, you are a fucking idiot. Not really a question, just a general comment. 19) What is your deepest secret? I’m not telling you. 20) Please? No. 21) Asshole. 22) What is your favorite Simpsons quote (because everyone has watched at least older episodes of The Simpsons, and if they haven’t, they’re inferior beings)? Hmm...There aren't really any that I can name off the top of my head. 23) Family Guy or Futurama? Futurama. 24) If you chose Family Guy, why don’t you just admit right now that you’re an idiot? Nothing can match the humor of Futurama. 25) If you chose Futurama, why does it rock so much? Because it combines the best elements of both Family Guy and The Simpsons. (yeah, what Shin said, lol) 26) If you chose neither, then you should get a sense of humor, you soulless freak. Yet another general comment. 27) Do you enjoy talking on the phone? No. 28) If you answered ‘yes’, why do you like talking on the phone? I really don't. 29) If you answered ‘no’, why is the telephone the spawn of Satan? Just because. 30) Are you flexible? Sometimes. *bends over the chair and grabs a slice of pizza* That flexible enough for ya? 31) In what ways do you use your flexibility? Uh... 32) Have you ever run away from home? No. 33) If you ever ran away from home, what would be the first thing you do? Hunt down my online friends. *evil grin* 34) What do most people compliment you on? My stories and drawings. 35) What do most people insult you for? For being 12 (Don't ask me why, they just do. Strange, I know...). 36) Do you have a good sense of humor? My mom says my jokes are corny. 37) What is your ‘style’ of humor? Style? I just kind of think of stuff off the top of my head... 38) Do you ever feel the need to ramble on endlessly to answer a survey question? Yeah, sometimes. 39) When was the last time you were drunk? Yesterday. I was drunk off my love for Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid...*drools and glomps* 40) Are you the romantic type? Lots of people seem to think so. 41) What exactly is the romantic type? Should you really be asking this question to someone who has no need for romance? 42) What do you feel is your best quality? My artistic ways. 43) Why? Because I rule! 44) What do you feel is your worst quality? My inability to be able to explain things thoroughly or to just exlain things. 45) Why? I really don't know. 46) Do you know what ‘Chucks’ are? Nope, not at all. 47) Why don’t other people know that seemingly trivial, yet extremely important bit of information? Because the only two names of shoes that I focus on are Vans and Airwalks, lol. 48) Were you at all worried that this survey would become serious in any way? Nope, never. 49) What one word would you use to describe yourself? Thieving bastard. Oh, wait, that's two words isn't it? 50) Finally, why are you the way you are? Eh, its kind of hard to explain. I solemnly swear that I am up to no good that this will forever be the final survey that I will put on my blog: DDG Ok, now onto something that I'm really pissed about. There's this kid at a friend of mine's forums and he really pisses me off. Here's why: Quote: you can stop acting like a loser now.,... no really....... and your 12 years old how the hell do u even KNOW about south park?? That was in response to my post, which said: Yes, poo. Like...Mr. Hankey! The Christmas Poo! Sorry...my step-cousin is watching Disc 3 from the South Park Third Season disc set and its on the Mr. Hankey Christmas Special episode... Everybody run! Mickey's a vampire! God, he really pisses me off. I then went off and did my best to set him straight with this post: I've been watching South Park since I was about 7 or 8 years old. =P The more you imply the fact that I'm 12 years old doesn't make any difference in what I say or do. I'm 12, so what? I'm an overly mature/extremely immature 12 year old, dammit and I'm proud of that fact. I have the right to say and do what I want, when I want and you have no right to stop me; you can't mess with people's free will, freedom of speech and freedom of expression. =P I was then backed up by one of the Admin's. He went on saying to the member who was slandering me: Damnit, I told you to drop that! I'm getting annoyed and if you don't stop acting like a 5-year old I will not be happy. This isn't the only case, though. He, along with a few of his friends on the board have made fun of my choice in my music and also have "tried" to stop me from posting my graphics in the Graphics Section, a section that of which I Moderate. (Click here to view that thread, I'm Ninja DG, btw) I would really like to hurt him right now. I would really, really like to. He has absolutely no reason to call me a loser, to make fun of my choice in music and to try and prevent me from posting my graphics. He has no right to do that. No right at all. Hmph, well, anyway, I think I'm going to go PM him about it and ask him why he feels the need to do stuff like that. Progress, much much progress I've made a lot of progress with my website. All of the pages have been recolored and I'm going to be working on a few banners in the moment that will randomly appear at the tops of each of the pages. I also cleaned out my TAD Photobucket account. I think all that's left on there now is the Pictures of the Week, Hentai Free and Forums banners. Well, I think that's all for me. I need to go work on those banners now. -DDG
