I'm at my mom's work right now. She let me get on the internet (they have a few different phone lines so no worries about tying up the phone, heh). I'm pretty bored and I've only been here for about *checks clock* an hour or so... Unfortunately, this computer says that there are errors on the page so it wont allow me to view people's comments. *sigh* I guess I'll have to wait until I can access a computer. Since I can't check or make comments I'll just respond to a few of Xio's posts: I haven't been on the computer because I'm not at my dad's and my mom still doesn't have her computer back from her friend who is fixing it. I wont be on another computer until next week, but, well, stop complaining or I'm killing off your character! (haha, now what're you going to do? *hears Xio say: I'm gonna beat you up at my birthday party this Sunday!* 0.0;;) Y'know, on some of those answers on the quiz that you stole from me, which was also stolen by Mimmi, of whom stole it from me and I stole it from SaiyanPrincessX who took it from AJeh, some of those answers better have had me included in them and a few better not have had me included in them. *threatens again with the killing off of the character* Well, now I need to find something to entertain myself with. Maybe I'll sit myself down and attempt to post on all of the RPGs I desperately need to post in...(Digimon: The Original Digidestined, Digimon- Way of the Worlds, .hack//TRUTH, .hack//REASON(its alive! Its alive again!), Pokemon: the Region of Hoen, Trigun: A New Start [I think you get the point...]) Well, thanks for listening taking the time to read my...my...useless post. There, I said it. Oh, yeah...and before I forget, I'm only at #251, yet, its becoming very very hard to increase in popularity. I've had 3 guestbook signings since I hit 50 guestbook entries and when I hit 50 I was at #256 or so. Very very hard to increase my popularity...oh well, I'm happy to have actually made it onto 'the list' within the few months I've been here. Later! -DDG

Fan Art

Yup, check it out. Three pieces of my submitted art are up for your rating and comments. Please check them out! Since I have nothing better to do... I'll post a little about all of my artwork that is up so far. Combusken- My favorite piece of art that I've put up so far, I worked on it for a pretty long time to get it right. Elk- My very best picture of Elk. Oh yeah, and the reason that his hair flips out funny on the side is that that's the way it is on the picture I used as a guide to draw him. BTW, the picture (if you really want to see where I got it from) is on the front of .hack//OUTBREAK. Elk Sketch- My second drawing of Elk, ever, it was just a sketch because I did not have any colored pencils at the time, neither did I really want to color it. Grovyle- Meh, its body was way too complicated so I stuck with just drawing its head. Kira Benevole- I drew this picture for Solo's Digimon RPG, Digimon- Way of the Worlds. Kiwimon- I've always thought that Kiwimon was a cool Digimon so...I drew it. ^_^ Matt- I drew Matt because I was sick of drawing only Digimon that night so I took a challenge and drew a Digidestined. Renamon- One of my very favorite Digimon drawings. Renamon is just so cool. Team Dragon- I drew this for a Pokemon Fanfic that I'm writing, a Fanfic that I haven't written in in a very long time...hehe... Torchic- I'm satisfied yet I'm not satisfied with this picture, but I'll say one thing: It looks much better in color! Yami Marik- My attempt at a Yami Marik drawing, its not the best but I'm content with it. Yugi- My very best and so far, only picture of Yugi. BTW, I don't even have it anymore. It was drawn for a friend of mine at school so he has it, heh. There's one more drawing I've yet to scan so I'll scan it tomorrow; I'm not really in the mood right now... Well, later! -DDG

Drawings

Just a quick update. I'll be drawing all day, I've got this new ambition to draw every single Pokemon, yes, all 390 or so of them. @_@ So far, I've drawn Treecko. I scanned it so expect it up soon. Its very very good, even though most of it had to be cut out to meet the requirements and even when it was meeting the requirements, it was still too large so I had to cut it down even more. ;_; Makes me sad...Oh well, if you want to see the whole thing, ask me by commenting and I'll send it to you by email or request it by email. ^_^ Alright, I got off of my lazy bum and re-scanned the pictures, then resized them in my photo editing program, so...one of the one's that was resized with the programs will be up in its full, the other two will be deleted and re-submitted, once they have been approved(darn I wish I had seniority...). >_> Yeah... Maybe I'll turn this into more of a real update, or not. Well, anyway, I had to get offline for a little while, my stupid ISP disconnects me if I'm idle for too long(I had to go to the friggin' bathroom! You shouldn't friggin' disconnect somebody for relieving themselves! *growls*). So, while I was off, I typed up a little bit more in my story. I typed just about a page from my notebook, I could have typed more but I kept going back and changing paragraphs. I can just never be satisfied until I edited and re-edited a whole bunch of times. So, I'm on Page 74 of 128. Soooo close to the end of Chapter 1. So close I can feel it. Maybe I'll just drag on my typing of it for a little while longer, to build up the suspense. *maniacle laugh* 0.0 *grin* Nah, I would never do that to you all...[or, would I?] Later! -DDG

What would you want to know if you could predict the future? How would you use this knowledge?

If I could predict the future I would want to know what kind of job do I have, if my TV show became a success, if I had any kids, you know, that kind of stuff. I would use this knowledge to help make the Earth a better place for children. I have pretty much the same ideas now. I'd love to use my abilities to predict the future to see what kind of job I have, if I have any kids, if I'm married, etc, etc. Not sure about my TV Show though, I haven't done much along the lines of that lately (meaning: I haven't drawn any new characters in about six months). Meh, who cares about children? I'm a young friggin' adolescent! Video Game Music Video game music is quite addicting. I believe Des has talked about this before as well. I'm talking GameBoy music here, folks. Despite coming from a small, inferior machine compared to a TV and a PS2, X-Box or Gamecube, the music is very good. Very very good. Like, for example(and because they are the only really fun games that I own): Pokemon games. The music on the earlier ones wasn't so good, but it was quite addicting. Especially the Team Rocket theme music (check out my new song, its the Team Rocket Hideout Final Challenge music). *hums the Team Rocket theme music* o.O;;; The Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire music are some of the best yet. My favorite being the Mt. Pyre theme music. Its so catchy and...addictive. Site color change Yup, its similar to an old one that I had, but its...better. Grays, blacks and a bit of red thrown in. They're my favorite colors when mixed together. ^_^ I haven't yet found a good replacement picture, but I'll get to it, heh. I'm thinking I'll get some kind of Pokemon picture to put up, to go with my theme music. I don't think I'll make a banner, I'll just stick with my Welcome to Liberty City poem and Analyze That quotes. ^_^ Darn, there was something else I wanted to talk about, but I can't remember what it was...oh well, later! -DDG

Yes, I've been absent from the internet for a few days now. Mostly school related and a few computer problems at home didn't help, either. Wednesday was my last day of school. It was a very heart-touching and emotional day. Everyone had cameras and were taking pictures and such. It was fun as well, because, we got to goof around most of the day. We watched Kangaroo Jack during our first hour class, then headed to the Gym to watch the people who signed up for Musical Chairs Basketball play that and to watch the Volleyball tournament. During which, Xio, Alexa and I sat in the stands at the very top, Xio sat next to me and read over my shoulder as I wrote in my story. Occasionally I'd take a break or two to make fun of the people around me, or to collect my thoughts. Then we went to lunch, it was freezer clear-out day so a lot of stuff had sales like 'buy one get one free'. I bought my usual. I still have $5.00 on my account for the beginning of next year so, its all good. Then we went off to Jumpstart where we immediately went back to the Gym for a small awards ceremony, then it was off to the Football field for the rest of field day. I wasn't really interested in the event I signed up for, so I skipped it and never went out to play. (Hey, nobody ever said I had to participate...) We had ice cream and cleaned out our lockers at the end of the day, then we went back out to the football field to have a Scavenger Hunt, then we said goodbye to the three teachers who were retiring that year (the Middle School Counselor, Mr. Kidwell, the Sixth grade Social Studies teacher, Mr. Kotenko and the Sixth grade Math teacher, Mrs. Bigelow). Tuesday was an awards ceremony. I received a Gold Achievement award, which had (what we believe is) the President's actual signature and also a letter from the White House, which is an official letter because it has the White House's official seal, as does the certificate. Then, at the end of the ceremony, I received seven awards and an Outstanding Student Plaque. By then, I was really disappointed, not understanding why I hadn't received any other awards, the Outstanding Student Award explained it all, though. Once I had gotten back to my seat after going out onto the gymnasium floor to receive the award, I opened up the envelope to discover the seven awards I had been wondering why I had not received earlier. The awards I had gotten were: Language Arts Discovery Language Arts Discovery Science Multi Media Science Science Math Social Studies Yes, very rewarding... Report cards will be mailed home next week so I'm anticipating that. I've done it! Y'know how a few posts back, I said that I couldn't think of anything that I could like start or end my posts with? Well, now I have. Yesterday, whilst organizing my files box(which has many things in it, including year books, drawings, strategy guides, GamePro Magazines, the notebooks that my story is written in and many other things...), I found a journal from Sixth grade. My sixth grade teacher wrote down a question on the board every morning and we had to answer it in our journals. Well, I had kept this journal so, I figure, I'll post in the beginning of each of my posts to start them out. I'll discuss my feelings from the entry, discuss if I disagree now or still agree, etc, etc. The only downside is that I had not written down the question that was on the board, so I'm going to have to improvise what that question was...ah, oh well. Here's the first entry: If you found money...what would you do with it? I would give it back to the owner if it had some kind of identification. But if it didn't, I would turn it in to the Police. If I kept the money, I would buy DBZ stuff, Digimon stuff, buy a new tire for my scooter, buy a Mountain Board, buy a Snowboard, or maybe even put it in my account and leave it there for a while and let the interest every year put it up to a million so I could be a millionaire. I still agree that if I did find money of some sort, I would turn it into the Police, if I found it on the street somewhere, that is. If I did decide to keep the money, then, yes, I would buy DBZ and Digimon stuff. No tire for my scooter. That got stolen (no good dirty rotten punks...*cough*). Heh, I got a Mountain Board for my birthday that year and I got a Snowboard that Chirstmas. I might put it into the bank, I doubt I'd keep it in there long enough for it to become a million, though. Eh, I think that's all I've got to talk about at the moment so...later. -DDG Edit: (forgot one thing...) Total Visits 687 Popularity Ranking # 268 (on the list) around # 260 Guestbook Signings: 50 (finally!) Edit 2: Changed the colors back to one of my favorite schemes. Hope you enjoy. ^_^ I'll have a new table background and banner up as soon as I find a cool image and as soon as I make the two in my image program...

Storms

Yeah, it's storming right now. But that's nothing new. For the past two weeks its been off and on raining. I just wish it would stop already. I want some sunshine! Not only is it raining really hard right now, but its been thundering and lightning a lot. Just earlier, there was a very loud thunderclap and a bright flash of lightning. It was cool and all, but freaky. Its also very cold. I checked the thermometer on the window and it read 50 degrees Fahrenheit. *shivers* Brr.... Well, the storm seems to have settled down now. Which is cool, it was really freaking me out... Oh yeah, and Sara, I haven't sent my letter yet, I haven't even written all of it yet. Err, I've been really busy but I expect to finish it tonight and send it out tomorrow. Tomorrow...that reminds me, I only have three more days left of school! ^_^ Ok, one last thing, thanks everyone for critiquing and commenting on my banners. If you want to use on of them, you better link back to me and give me credit for them, ok? Ok. Later! -DDG

A Poem...

A poem? From me? Of all people? Heh, yeah. It's about Liberty City from GTA 3. I got the little phrases from the bottoms of the pages of the instruction booklet. Yeah, I think I should type it quickly, too, I wrote it down in friggin' permanent marker and its makin' me a bit light headed... Welcome to Liberty City Welcome to Liberty City, A terrible place for a holiday, Liberty City, Proudly fed a diet of fast food and cheap guns, Liberty City, Where your car is now* our car, Liberty City, Where lunatics prosper, Liberty City, Makes you wish you'd stayed at home, Liberty City, A great place to leave. Welcome to Liberty City, A town on the edge, Liberty City, Where dreams are broken, Liberty City, Where the only dirty word is hope, Liberty City, Visit at your own risk. Welcome to Liberty City, Where the best advice you can get is: Lock your doors. *Thanks, Azure. It sounds much better now.

Yes, today was the day. Today was the day of my trip to Michigan's Adventure with the Math Club. So, today's post will be solely about Michigan's Adventure and stuff. Lets start of with a brief synopsis of each ride and what I did during that ride, how many times I rode it, etc. Park Map Click here and then go to 'Park Map' on the sidebar. Ride Name: Corkscrew Description: Flip head over heels on our classic corkscrew roller coaster Rider Requirements: 48 inches or taller This ride was ridden two times by me. The injuries received from it was a sore head from having it slammed into the bars that hold you into the seat. Ride Name: Flying Trapeze Description: Take to the skies and let your feet dangle on this classic swing ride. Rider Requirements: 48 inches or taller I rode this once. Nothing else to say I guess. It was pretty boring... Ride Name: Shivering Timbers Description: A world class wooden coaster with drops of 125', 105' and 95' and speeds up to 65 mph. Rider Requirements: 48 " or taller ^_^ The best darn ride in the park. I rode this six times! And...sort of, hurt my head from it being jolted around in the turns. Ride Name: Wolverine Wildcat Description: Our original wooden coaster. Lift hill is 85' tall. Rider Requirements: 48" tall or taller The second best ride in the park, I suffered more injuries to my head...I also rode it about three times. Ride Name: Sea Dragon Description: Classic pendulum-style swing ride Rider Requirements: 48 " or taller; under 48" must be accompanied by a responsible person *grins* I love the Sea Dragon and other rides similar to it. I rode it two times and suffered no injuries fortunately. Ride Name: Logger's Run Description: Water flume ride guaranteed to cool you off. Rider Requirements: 46" or taller; under 46" accompanied by a responsible person Meh, it didn't cool me off at all. I barely even got splashed. It was a very fun ride though, heh. Here are the other rides that we rode but I can't get pictures or information for because the Michigan's Adventure site doesn't have stuff on them. Falling Star Trabant Thunderbolt The rides that we were supposed to do physics on but never got to them... Ride Name: Scrambler Description: Centrifugal force is king here Rider Requirements: 48 " or taller, under 36" - 48" must be accompanied by a repsonsible person. Ride Name: Giant Gondola Wheel Description: Take a relaxing spin and do some sight-seeing from the air. Rider Requirements: 48 " or taller, under 48" must be acompanied by a responsible person Ride Name: Carousel Description: 50' grand carousel. Rider Requirements: 46" or taller; under 46" accompanied by a responsible person Actually, I never rode this one, but I did get the physics on it from the people who did ride it so, yeah... A little craziness... Whew, the bus ride back from the park was nuts. I'd say the best part from when the teachers that came with us fell asleep on the bus. Three eight graders snuck up to the front of the bus, got the digital camera and took pictures of them while they were sleeping. Then, a little later, when we stopped at a rest stop, the teachers woke up and everyone burst out laughing, heh. I'd say that this trip was very awesome. Very awesome. The only thing that I thought was rigged was that, not that many kids who were there had to do physics on the rides! More than half the kids there were just there on field trips! They were all asking us like 'what are you guys doing homework for?' and we were like 'we're not doing homework, this is physics day, we're doing physics!'. Grr...Ah, whatever. I'd say I'm definitely joining the Math Club next year so I can go again, uh, I mean, so I can learn more...hehehe... Eh, well, those are the highlights so, later! -DDG
