You, my dear sir, suffer from what I like to call 'Johnny Sasaki Syndrome'.

*giggles* I had an enjoyable sleep. I went to bed at...um, 9:30 AM XD but, it was only because I was reading a really, really good fic. By the great author, Veresna Ussep. Seriously. She ties at number one with Dahne on my list of favorite fanfiction authors. She writes really good romance stories involving Severus Snape. *giggles* And lets just say I had quite a few dreams involving him...pleasing me...sexually. *coughs and wanders away to fantasize* *wanders back* Anyway, my day just got fucking better from there and for once I'm absolutely serious. After waking up from those wonderful dreams...I remembered that today was the day that I was going to see: CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY *swoons* *passes out* *returns to the land of the awake* I loved that movie. It was phenominal. Though I miss the old Oompa Loompas. *sighs* Oh well. I'll just imagine Wee-man from Jackass when he was dressed up as an Oompa Loompa during one of the episodes or the movie or whenever he did it. That was hilarious. And the music...well, I just loved it. Loved it. Willy Wonka...Willy Wonka...the amazing chocolateer... *hums* After the movie, things went a little downhill. You know that fic I was talking about earlier? That I was reading until 9 AM? Well...um... ..it ended up extremely, horribly sad at the end. I cried my God damn eyes out. *huggles Severus* DON'T YOU DIE ON ME, DAMMIT! I swear, if he dies during book 7...I don't know what I'm going to do. If he dies, I guess I'll probably end up throwing the book down, bursting out into tears and lying around in bed, crying my eyes out for three days straight until I finally bring myself to finish the book. Of course, just like when...when...*sniffles* you know who I'm talking about, died in book 5, I probably wont stop crying throughout the rest of the book. Dammit. Severus is just too fucking awesome. Thankfully, though I'm still extremely teary eyed over the thought of Severus possibly dying during book 7, I was cheered considerably when I checked my email. Today is the 21st. Ever since midnight, I've known exactly what this day meant. Today was the end of sign-ups for the Legionnaires. When I saw the email in my inbox informing me that someone had posted in the Legionnaires sign-up thread, my stomach flip-flopped. I opened the email...my fingers twitching and my entire arm shaking in anticipation. I read through what I could see of the list of accepted participants and was worried at first, not seeing my name. Then I scrolled down. AND THERE IT WAS. Second to last, just above Baron's name: DDG - Vinovka I can't stop smiling. It's really interesting. I've got tears in my eyes, I'm smiling, and I've got two emotions battling for dominance within me. *sighs* Ah, it's been a good day. -DDG End note: The thing I wasn't going to elaborate on the other day is this: Blaike got kicked out for getting his half-sister(Robin) drunk and slipping her sleeping pills. ...I'm not gonna elaborate anymore. BTW: I wrote this post around 11 PM on the 21st, then posted it, forgot it was almost midnight, deleted it, and reposted it after midnight.

Aren't you special?

And my high school schedule for ninth grade is as follows: First semester: 01: Computer Applications 1 02: PE/Health Seminar 1 03: English 1 04: Social Studies 1 Second semester: 01: English 2 02: Algebra 1 Seminar 2 03: Environmental Earth Science 04: Spanish 1 Fun, eh? I'm pretty happy with it. Yay for Algebra! Kind of jealous of Alexa. She gets to take Spanish 1 and 2. I only get to take Spanish 1 ;_; Damn. Oh well. Alexa came over last night and spent the night. My mom took us to the open house together and we did all that jazz. Got the student handbook, agenda, class schedule and signed up for our locker. Alexa's my locker buddy =D Got a pretty simple locker combination, too. Real easy to remember. Got our pictures taken for the student IDs. Talked for awhile wit Emry while we were in line. Probably scared the shit out of everyone else too >=D I share two classes with Alexa. PE/Health and Environmental Earth Science. Cool, huh? I don't think Xio's at home or something. She called the other day and I tried to call her back but first I got the busy signal, then there was no answer when I finally got through *shrugs* Guess I'll just have to wait to compare schedules with her. It was kind of nice to see a lot of the kids from school again. *shrugs* Lots of stuff's been happening. Don't feel like elaborating right now. I'll save it for my next post. Just really got online to check my email. -DDG

There's too much love in this room. Whoever's heart hasn't been broken, please, break it now.

XD I'm too lazy for a "real" update, so here's some links to the best VG Cats I read today: So that's what they do when they get ahold of great animes. Just read it XD THIS is how that Kirby game for the DS is SUPPOSED to be played ~_^ "That sky looks like ground." Jacky can just go to --- Sorry for all the lazy short posts. Nothing else to say so I suggest you enjoy these VG Cats --- I don't expect to have anything interesting to say again until the 18th(open house at school --- fun, eh? I'm sure it'll be a lot better than Sen's =P) -DDG

And then, bam! Reality just comes in hits you in the fucking gut, man.

Swiped from Jamie. 1. Use fanfiction.net's Search Story By Summary and look up your name in either Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings. 2. If there are any Mary Sues that share your name, pick the worst-sounding one and post the summary There are twenty-three stories in the Harry Potter category with "Kayla" in the summary. Half of them are just...fucking...stupid o_o DracoxKayla: 5, possibly 6(I'm too afraid to read any of them o_o) SiriusxKayla: 1 Of werewolves and the Marauder's Map: 2 HarryxKayla: 1 RonxKayla: 1 Fics in a different language: 1 And the worst-sounding summary: Draco and Ginny got married, had twins but then voldemort threaten to kill the twins. draco and ginny seperate ten yrs later the twins meet again, what'll happen when the twins along with their friend kayla decide to get their parents back together Next to that its gotta be: Jeff, Nikki, Kayla, and Carol....normal kids, right? wrong. They're sucked into a hole in Jeff's room and end up in Hogwarts...is there a connection between Carol and Snape???? caution: drugs, suicide attempts, and heavy swearing and then: Kayla is one of the four most powerful humans on earth so is Terry they need to find Harry Potter and Jacob.Why?Can Kayla really trust Terry?I suck at this just a fic about a girl plenty of harry in late chapters Now onto the Lord of the Rings, shall we? Well, there's only six fics and two of them involve a LegolasxKayla relationship. 1. Legolas is contemplating wheater he should continue on to Rivendell, or to turn back while he has the chance. But when steely crime scene investiagtor, Kayla Griffin enters the picture, things get a little more interesting. How will they react to one anot 2. Sequel to Three Girls in Middlearth. Natalie has been kidnapped with Merry and Pippin; Kayla has joined the ring to Mordor; Cecil is pursuing the orcs with Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli. Hilarity ensues and Cecil gets a sword. 3. Kayla finds she holds more than just the survival of Middle Earth in the palm of her hand... 4. Ch. 15 UP! Kayla Sparrow is an 18 year old girl who lives by herself in the year 2004. When she makes a wish and three individuals come to her world, what will happen when their fate as well as her own, rely on love? 5. Kayla Crop takes a "trip" to Middle earth, where the most unexpected thing happens... 6. AU - Scheming with Glorfindel has a side effect that Kayla certainly wasn't prepared for in the slightest. But never fear, Legolas and Kayla kiss and make up. Just how do an Elf and four Hobbits fare at writing a song for when on the road? UPDATED I couldn't decide which was stupider... Well, the world of technology has screwed me over again. See, my dad tried calling me a few days ago. Thursday I think it was. Anyway, I tried calling him back that night, but the phone was busy blah, blah, blah. The moral of the story is: listen more carefully during conversations over the fucking phone! Now to the meat and potatoes of the story: I got back to my dad yesterday. He said that he was calling because he was having trouble with the computer but he'd fixed it now. Said something about the mouse or the keyboard screwing up again...I don't remember. Whatever. I do remember him saying something about rebooting the computer...so I figure, oh, all right. That's okay. He just restarted it and everything worked again. Of course, if you all know about me and my luck with technology: >=O#@%#^$^#$&#%$#@%&^*^($#^% Er, that's about what I felt like screaming when I got dropped off here at around noon today. You know, that feeling where you swear to God you're entire life just went down the drain? ...well, it was something like that. Not quite that far, but a few more feet around the corner and we're there. When he said "rebooted the computer", he meant: did an ENTIRE system restore, to take the computer back to how it was originally. Everything important I had on this computer just went out the fucking door. The most I'm really upset about are the files for my website that I had just last week finalized the layout for. !@#$%^&* I guess I should be thankful it was a simple layout. An image at the top, then a table with two columns and an image at the bottom. It looked beautiful though...*sighs* Oh...fuckmuffins. I had 178 episode transcripts of Stargate SG-1. All gone. "Well, can't you just go and download them again?" Well, sure. But DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY HOURS I FUCKING PUT INTO REFORMATTING THE GODDAMN THINGS? For one, they're all in .html format. Fun, eh? So I open them all up in Firefox, copy and paste into Wordpad and save as .rtf format. Repetitive action is not fun. Open. Copy. Paste. Save. Open. Copy. Paste. Save. Then, I started reading through them. Of all the people who transcribed the episodes, there was one transcriber I actually liked and she only transcribed about three or four episodes...but anyway, so I'm reading through them and there's a million different things wrong within the transcripts that are just...tearing my eyeballs out because they're such obvious fucking mistakes... So as I'm reading through the scripts I'm fixing random grammatical and spelling errors, as well as changing the format of the scripts to my liking. See, one thing about me and scripts is that I like for the name of the person speaking to be in all capital letters. Just something that...I can't explain. I just do. *sighs* I was on episode 21 or something like that...Hours and hours reformatting put into these transcripts...hours and hours put into reading the actual things...and it all just went down the God damned drain. ... All those video game scripts I had are gone too. Grand Theft Auto, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy... Doesn't matter if I hadn't read half of them yet, I was GOING TO. Eventually. I need something to distract me. ... I'm still downloading crap. Got Firefox out of the way. Can't seem to get mIRC to fucking download. AIM's next. Debating whether or not I'm going to download MSN. I always sign-in as offline anyway. I can already tell its going to be a happy birthday this year.../sarcasm *grumbles* I hate my birthday anyway. If it weren't for the fact that I usually get the presents I want, I'd just sit in my room and stare at the ceiling. Just another day gone by... Something always happens at my birthday parties that makes me absolutely bitter for most of the day. Take my ninth birthday. One of my friends almost fucking drowned me. Look, I'm a good swimmer, all right? But not with someone hanging onto me and pushing me under the water trying to keep themselves above water because they can't swim. Tenth wasn't any fun. Was a little ruined by the fact that my mom had rented a PG-13 movie and one of my friends (who was 11) couldn't watch PG-13 movies. ... I've been watching rated R movies since I don't know when. I think an 11 year-old can watch a PG-13 fucking movie. But...I digress. PG-13 does mean that its not recommended for those under 13. She had strict parents anyway. *shrugs* Huh. Eleven had to be one of the worst birthday parties for me. Beginning of sixth grade. Started having my period that past February. Thought I'd gotten the days down. Last few days of the month into the first few days of the next month. Simple right? NOT. My birthday is the 14th of September. Second week of the fucking month. Guess what day I started my period that month? ... The fucking 14th. Very day of my God damned birthday. (My period ruins every God damned fun thing I like to do. The very week of the Isabella Count Fair is the very week I have my period that month. It used to give me cramps so bad that I couldn't even get out of bed. Ruined my entire summer sometimes.) I think...that twelve was one of the best birthday's I'd had in awhile. Me and Tre. An ice cream cake. Video games and movies. That's all it was and it was just...wonderful. Plus we saw Freddy vs. Jason the day before my actual birthday(twas on a Sunday. Tre came over...Friday I think and we saw the movie Saturday. But, alas, Aunt Flow came to visit again that Friday T_T) Thirteen was okay...I just...got a little annoyed at people at times. The actual party anyway which was...um...the weekend following the 14th if I'm not mistaken. The 14th was on a Tuesday and wasn't any fun at all. Lonnie got me a paintball gun and we went out to play... ...it wasn't any fun. See, Lonnie and Blaike both have these really nice oh-my-fucking-god-this-is-the-worst-fucking-pain-I've-ever-felt-in-the-world paintball guns. Not to mention, they also both have thicker clothes than I do. To summarize: Lonnie got the best hiding place(behind the crappy skate ramp) and Blaike ended up sneaking up behind me out in the field. So, I'm hiding the little shed, already a little shot up from Lonnie(not exactly fair when all he does is stick his gun barrel over the edge of the ramp and barely peek over the top to shoot at me. What the fuck was I going to hit you know? Then, out of nowhere, I'm getting pelted in the fucking back with paintballs. I stopped playing, right then and there. I didn't have very thick clothing to wear, so I was wearing jeans and the thickest sweatshirt I had so guess what I had to show off at school tomorrow? Biggest God damn bruises I've ever had in my fucking life. They turned purple with a nice yellow tinge around it. I hope this year's party will be...well, for lack of better word, good. I guess if I really get what I want I'll at least be happy. (Specially if Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is bought for me =D Multi-player fun !!! Damn you X-Play! >>) Sorry for the rambliness. Just needed to vent a little. *blames hormones* -DDG

METAL GEAR SOLID 2: SONS OF LIBERTY ENDING ANALYSIS by Kayla N. 08/12/2005 The ending of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is less difficult to understand than many seem to think. To fully understand the ending, I suggest that you play through the game at least twice as well as read through the more confusing parts of the script(go to www.gamefaqs.com to find one) several times. However, a lot of what is said during the ending of Sons of Liberty can be interpreted in multiple different ways. This is merely my interpretation of the more confusing aspects. I truly do not find anything confusing about it. Sons of Liberty’s ending is only as confusing as you make it out to be. When attempting to understand the ending, there are a few rules you should follow; it’ll make it less confusing: RULE #1: There’s a lot of information given to you in a short amount of time at the ending. Do not try to take all of this information in at one time! If you do, all that’ll happen is you’ll run yourself into little tiny circles trying to decipher what the fuck The Colonel and Rose are talking about. However, if you take in each bit of information by separating it into “what I understand” and “the shit that makes no God damned sense”,(again, I suggest playing through Sons of Liberty at least two times as well as obtaining the script) then you can move on and follow rule number two. RULE #2: “Find the hidden meanings within the hidden meanings.” Things in Metal Gear Solid 2 have a deeper meaning that what you may originally think! Not everything is just what you see or hear on the surface. The ending accounts for this; it is meant to be at least slightly baffling and utterly confusing. What you have to do is look at the startling information hidden between the crazy rambling of The Colonel and the more coherent information he gives. COLONEL : Raiden, are you receiving? We're still here. RAIDEN : How's that possible!? The AI was destroyed! COLONEL : Only GW... RAIDEN : Who are you? The virus was constructed to destroy any information contained within GW about the Patriots, meaning, the rest of GW would have been intact. Ocelot may very well have been the cause behind the Metal Gear RAY’s malfunctioning. OCELOT : I'm reading an abnormal impulse cascade throughout the neural network. I can't shut it down! SOLIDUS : What happened! OCELOT : Maybe -- some kind of virus -- SOLIDUS : The Patriots!? OCELOT : I don't know! SOLIDUS : Ocelot! What have you been up to? OCELOT : It's too late! Arsenal's system control is going haywire! ...It’s on an emergency ascent course! Thus, the part of GW that was stimulating cortical activity in the dormant part of Raiden’s brain using signal manipulation of his own nanomachines would still have been intact. The Colonel’s strange behavior while Raiden was inside Arsenal was merely a side effect of the virus destroying the information on the Patriots within GW. ------------------------- COLONEL : That man was not included in the simulation. He is not a factor in this mission. RAIDEN : What do you mean by that, Colonel? COLONEL : Because they were never a part of the simulation. They're an unknown factor. RAIDEN : You can take your simulation and...! We're out here, we bleed, we die! ROSE : Calm down! COLONEL : Raiden, do you copy. You must continue your m-mission. RAIDEN : I've lost all my gear. I need to locate Snake. COLONEL : He was never factored into the simulation. Leave him out of this. RAIDEN : I can't do much naked, especially in this temperature. The entire Big Shell incident was a recreation of Shadow Moses. It was a -- how shall I put it -- simulated incident. The Patriots created all of the variables, factors and conditions of the incident. This relates to what Ocelot mentioned: OCELOT : Everything you've done here has been scripted -- a little exercise set up by us. SOLIDUS : Exercise!? OCELOT : The S3 Plan was conceived as a means to produce soldiers on par with Solid Snake. That's what I told you. But the VR Training the boy was put through is not the meat of the project. You think this terrorist incident is your own doing, Solidus? THIS is the S3 training kernel -- an orchestrated recreation of Shadow Moses. SOLIDUS : What!? FORTUNE : All orchestrated...? OCELOT : Except for the appearance of the real Solid Snake. I wonder now, who sent for you...? Just as The Colonel said, Snake was not factored into the simulation. COLONEL : He was never factored into the simulation. Leave him out of this. ------------------------- OCELOT : ...THIS is the S3 training kernel -- an orchestrated recreation of Shadow Moses. Though S3 does not stand for, “Solid Snake Simulation”, what Ocelot says about the Big Shell being the S3 training kernel is true: the incident was created for GW to collect the necessary information on manipulating and controlling human will and consciousness. COLONEL : The S3 is a system for controlling human will and consciousness. S3 is not you, a soldier trained in the image of Solid Snake. It is -- a method, a protocol, that created a circumstance that made you what you are. ROSE : So you see, we're the S3. Not you. consciousness >noun 1 the state of being conscious. 2 one's awareness or perception of something. GW is shown to have effectively manipulated Raiden’s awareness and perception during the Big Shell incident. GW used Raiden’s own expectations and experiences to create The Colonel. ------------------------- COLONEL : To begin with -- we're not what you'd call -- human. Over the past two hundred years -- A kind of consciousness formed layer by layer in the crucible of the White House. It's not unlike the way life started in the oceans four billion years ago. The White House was our primordial soup, a base of evolution –- “To begin with -- we’re not what you’d call -- human.” This is obvious; GW is an AI, thus it is not human. Or, if The Colonel is speaking about the Patriots, then the explanation is also simple: Humans being humans have flaws, they make mistakes. Therefore, the Patriots may consider themselves “more than human”, in being that they do not believe they can make mistakes. Who better to correct the mistakes of humans and to ensure that they continue to evolve than someone who is “more than human” and incapable of making mistakes? “Over the past two hundred years -- A kind of consciousness formed layer by layer in the crucible of the White House. It’s not unlike the way life started in the oceans four billion years ago.” If we once again take the second definition of consciousness, in that it means “awareness or perception”, this consciousness that has been forming in the crucible of the White House over the past two hundred years could very well be just a confusing way to say that people were noticing the stupid fucking mistakes that the president and others were making during their terms in office. A crucible is a “container in which metals or other substances may be melted or subjected to very high temperatures.” Ideas are substance, are they not? Or that they at least have substance, yes? Ideas usually become debated about over time, sometimes very heatedly. Thus, the substance of an idea may be subjected to very high temperatures of debate. Crucible also means “a situation of severe trial, or in which different elements interact to produce something new.” Lets take the second part of that definition into consideration: “in which different elements interact to produce something new.” The fifth definition of element is as such, “a distinct group within a larger group.” Remember the Philosophers. The original Philosophers were the most powerful men from America, Russia and China who joined together to defeat the Axis Powers and create a new world order. Are America, Russia and China not “different elements that interact to produce something new”? The three countries came together to create the Philosophers. The Patriots are a group of twelve men -- the Wisemen’s Committee. Since their backgrounds are uncertain, could they not all be from different elements of the government? These different elements interacted to collect all of the Philosopher’s Legacy and then created something new -- the Patriots. “It's not unlike the way life started in the oceans four billion years ago. The White House was our primordial soup, a base of evolution -- ” Life will forever evolve. Four billion years ago life began its slow process of evolution. Life is not the only thing that evolves, however. “The White House was our primordial soup, a base of evolution.” The idea of the Patriots began within the White House. Then the idea evolved and continued evolving until it became what it is at the end of Sons of Liberty. It started with the Philosophers, followed by an idea and then evolution of that idea. We are formless. We are the very discipline and morality that Americans invoke so often. How can anyone hope to eliminate us? As long as this nation exists, so will we. “We are formless,” makes the Patriots seem more like an advanced AI, correct? But they don’t have to be. Seeing as no one knows who the Patriots are, what they look like, etcetera, they are “formless”. A form is a “visible shape or configuration”. If something is “formless”, it would obviously be “without visible shape or configuration.” This could also mean that the Patriots are less prominent figures within the government; they don’t call attention to themselves. And why should they? The Patriots are a secret to all but the president they choose to run the nation. By being lesser known within the government or even the military, it would be much simpler to secretly run the nation. “We are the very discipline and morality that Americans invoke so often.” The discipline and morality that “Americans invoke so often” is just one more way that the Patriots have control over the population. Being disciplined is to behave in a controlled way. Morality is the distinction between right and wrong. The Patriots plan to use GW to control human will and consciousness, thus they would be able to control the population and their distinction between what is right and wrong. The discipline and morality is what the Patriots are: the controlling factor over the population(discipline), steering it in the direction of progress, in the “right’ direction, not the wrong, or bad, one(morality). “How can anyone hope to eliminate us? As long as this nation exists, so will we.” Even if the Patriots are brought down, who’s to say that the nation won’t continue in the direction it was heading while the Patriots were in charge? “As long as this nation exists, so will we.” This can be interpreted metaphorically and non-metaphorically. In metaphorical terms, even if the Patriots are gone, since they are the discipline and morality that Americans invoke so often, they will continue to exist within the nation. Their ideals, what they’ve spread throughout the nation will be what they live on through, even if they lose their actual control over the nation. If what he has said is not metaphorical, The Colonel could be saying that even if the Patriots are removed from power, what’s stopping other secret groups from gaining the same power and continuing where the Patriots left off? Not to mention, the Patriots more than likely have a failsafe in place, just in case they’re removed from power. RAIDEN : Cut the crap! If you're immortal, why would you take away individual freedoms and censor the Net? ROSE : Jack, don't be silly. COLONEL : Don't you know that our plans have your interests -- not ours -- in mind? RAIDEN : What? COLONEL : But in the current, digitized world, trivial information is accumulating every second, preserved in all its triteness. Never fading, always accessible. ROSE : Rumors about petty issues, misinterpretations, slander... COLONEL : All this junk data preserved in an unfiltered state, growing at an alarming rate. ROSE : It will only slow down social progress, reduce the rate of evolution. COLONEL : Raiden, you seem to think that our plan is one of censorship. RAIDEN : Are you telling me it's not!? ROSE : You're being silly! What we propose to do is not to control content, but to create context. RAIDEN : Create context? context >noun 1 the circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea. 2 the parts that immediately precede and follow a word or passage and clarify its meaning. When Rose says that what they are doing is “creating context”, the meaning seems a little unclear at first. What context are they creating? If we take the first definition of context, however, it is made clearer. “What we propose to do is not to control content, but to create the circumstances that will speed up social progress and increase the rate of evolution.” ------------------------- RAIDEN : Rose -- does she actually exist? ROSE : Of course I do, Jack! You have to beLIEve me! RAIDEN : Damn... “You have to beLIEve me!” The capitalizing of the three letters, “l”, “I”, and “e” within believe is interesting. There are a few theories rolling around inside my head about the “lie” within “believe”, however, most of them are less than coherent enough to put into words. Perhaps it is just another “trick” imposed by GW, I’m not sure. Of everything said in Sons of Liberty, it is the only line that spins me in circles, the answer constantly and always evading me. ------------------------- OTACON : Well, we were right about them being on Manhattan, but... SNAKE : But what? OTACON : They're already dead. All twelve of them. SNAKE : When did it happen? OTACON : Well, ah...about a hundred years ago. SNAKE : What the hell? “They’re already dead. All twelve of them.” Concerning the apparent fact that the Patriots are all already dead and died one hundred years ago, we know that this cannot be true. 1970 The United States accumulates the remainder of the Legacy. The US branch of "Philosophers" changes its name to the "Patriots." The American Philosophers became the Patriots in 1970. The Big Shell incident occurred April 29th to the 30th, 2009. It had only been thirty-nine years since the American Philosophers had become the Patriots. If the names of the Patriots on the disc that Otacon analyzed did truly die one hundred years ago, then the only conclusion that I can make is that the names on the disc are aliases that the Patriots took up. OCELOT : Yes, it's me. The Boss has accomplished her mission. The Philosopher's Legacy is now safely with us... in America's hands. With this money... yes, the Philosophers can finally be revived. I'm always at the CIA's disposal... ...Mr. Director. We know that all of the original Philosophers died before 1970. We also know that the CIA Director was behind collecting the rest of the Philosopher’s Legacy. If the Patriots are in fact people, then wouldn’t the CIA Director have been one of the original Patriots and even still be one in 2009? However, with the Philosopher’s Legacy completely in America’s hands, couldn’t it be assumed that some of it was used to construct advanced AI used to control the country from behind the scenes? All in all, remember that I’m just theorizing and that this is definitely not all that could be conceived from the ending of Sons of Liberty. It is merely my take on the ending. Thank you for reading. Written after finishing Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty for the second time =D It was a lot easier the second time around. For one thing, since I knew exactly where the C4 in strut A was, it only took me 100 seconds out of 400 given to get down there and freeze it. I can also now recognize Ames on sight and I know exactly how his heart beat sounds: lubdub lubdub beep! lubdub And I only let Emma drown once! XD (it was an accident! I got lost! >> And she wouldn't have died if that stupid bomb hadn't of been in the way <<) It only took me nine hours to beat Big Shell again and those nine hours were completely worth it =D Well, anyway, Xio came over Wednesday(she brought Metal Gear Solid 2 with her since she was borrowing it and I wanted to play really badly >>) and spent the night. Yesterday we went to the Isabella County Fair(six hours of fun! And, erm, a little upset stomachness, too. Just on the ferris wheel though.). We rode pretty much all of the large rides. I almost got sick on the ferris wheel and the hang glider ride felt kind of different from usual. My chest got all constricted while I was on it and it made me a little dizzy(that never happens to me on that ride!), but I felt better once I'd took a break after the ride. We played a few games. My dart skills paid off. My mom paid for three darts and Xio, herself and me each threw one. I'm the only one who hit a balloon and Xio and my mom didn't even come close. I got a The Osbourne's framed picture; it's pretty cool. I've got another one like it hanging on my door, but that one has South Park on it ^^ Today I wrote up my analysis on Sons of Liberty's ending. I don't find it the least bit confusing; I understand pretty much every single word. My birthday is one month and one day away. So far I've asked my mom for: the Sin City DVD The Metal Gear Solid comic 3-12 Case Close volumes 4 and 5 Rurouni Kenshin volumes 3 and 4 And when I go over to my dad's next I'm going to give him his list which is: Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory(I just want it for the multiplayer and you can thank X-Play for making it so enticing XD) Metal Gear Solid(the one for PS1) The Bourne Ultimatum Have to go to the school on the 18th for pictures, schedules, choosing of the lockers and to meet the teachers. There's a new teacher, too. He's teaching Social Studies and Phys Ed apparently. I just hope he's not some old guy... >> I go back to school on the 29th o_o which is kind of interesting since the last I knew we were going back on the 30th. *shrugs* I guess that teacher breakfast thing will be on the 28th now? The student council's supposed to go in the day before school starts and cook a welcome back breakfast for the teachers. Well, they'll call beforehand so I'll know soon enough. Supposed to email us too, but I haven't been able to log into my school email all summer and that's the one I put down for my email. I think the next chance I get I'm going to change it; even if I could check my school email I'd hardly ever do it anyway. I'll see if I can have my email contact changed my gmail account...I check that constantly >> Well, I'm off to do other things. -DDG

Well f**k you too

technology sucks. okay, you might be asking yourself by now: what has happened to kayla's sense of capitalization? well, i can assure you that it didn't just fall into a ditch and die(though my creativity is about to). on the contrary: my keyboard fell into a ditch and died. yeah, so i'm stuck using the on-screen keyboard until i get a new keyboard. i also created an away message for aim that briefly explains that my replies might take a little while. so, don't worry too much about the fact that it says i'm away; i'm here, just needed a simple way to tell people my predicament. my keyboard just had to go on the spritz the very day i planned on posting here...and now i've got to put my .hack//truth post on hold(i was planning on typing that up later). and worst of all: it's going to be annoyingly hard to play trivia on aku-tenshi like this. *sighs* whatever. until next time... -ddg EDIT: Keyboard is working again ^^ I be the happy. Though a nice, shiny new keyboard would have been nice, too...but I'll live.

It's maddening, it's insane.

When's the last time I had a bright layout? I really don't know. Yeah, it was kind of a spur of the moment thing. Ocelot is just too...awesome. Thanks to Petie for the code that hid my avatar. I got Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince on Friday and finished it Saturday. Overall, it wasn't too bad. I think I expected it to be a little better, but that's not to say it was a horrible book or anything, I just don't think it's as good as past books. Any of you remember that one dream had, that I was really happy about having? (and no, it wasn't a dirty dream ~_^ You sick-minded people. Though I have had two or three of those...involving a few fictional characters >>) The one where I killed Jerome and how I've actually begun writing a story based on that dream? Well, anyway...I'm at a point in the story where I really don't want to write anything...about what's going on at that particular point. I've got all of these other ideas in my head(thanks to military movies, pop, pickles, and pizza among other things) that I'd really like to write, but they wont even take place until quite a ways into the story... ...so, I came up with the idea to write down the scenes regardless of how far into the story they take place. Eventually, I'll take what I wrote and put it into its correct place in the story(once I get to that point). *shrugs* Kind of just something to keep me busy, you know? *wanders off* *wanders back* I read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory a few days before I got the new Harry Potter book...the book was good, I mean, I definitely saw the darker side of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, but other than that...lets just say its not like its my favorite book or anything. Well, I'm gonna go write some more and browse around reading a bunch of random Metal Gear information...(The Pain's real name is Claude! I ask you, did you know that? See? Very random. Also, The End's real name is Vladimir! And Volgin's full name is Yevgeny Borisovitch Volgin!(okay, so everyone can know that one by playing MGS3, but I finally memorized it)) -DDG

*lick*

I must taste really good...because the kitten is constantly trying to lick me. I personally don't see what tastes so good...*shrugs* *shaking with anticipation* *whines* I want to read the new Harry Potter book...I need to read it. I can't live without reading it ;_; I feel like I'm being tortured! It's taking a lot out of me to avoid going to places where spoilers will be abound. Like MuggleNet for instance. I love going there and reading the editorials...but, I can't go there until after I've read the book to avoid reading an editorial with HBP spoilers in it. . . . I'm going crazy with all this waiting. I know random facts about animes I've never seen, manga I've never read and video games I've never played. And that kind of scares me o_o -DDG

May Infidel Kangaroo Even Trod Over Raging Endless Nauseous Oceans

*giggles over her subject line* Oh, the things I come up with....It's actually a secret code that I used in the GTA fic I uploaded on FanFiction recently. Take the first letter of each word and put them all in a vertical line like T H I S . The outcome isn't funny or anything, just the code part of it. One Shot Left- GTA fanfic In the Debris- MGS fanfic I've been writing the GTA one for awhile now...I just finally got around to finishing it. I completely wrote the MGS one yesterday and so far I've gotten really positive reviews on it ^^ Makes me happy because of all the fanfiction's I've wrote, that one is my favorite. I'm currently working on the first chapter for In the Debris(the first thing you'll read is the prologue) and it's coming along smoothly. I hope to get it up within a day or two. And onto the importance of this post: 3000!!! Yep, I hit the big 3-0-0-0 visits last night. I'd been in the 2,990's for so long...it was just killing me. And then, when I logged in for the first time yesterday there it was...3,000 visits just staring me in the face. Exactly 3,000. Right now I'm at 3,003 but, still...3,000. It seems like just yesterday I hit 2,000... But, thanks for all the visits everyone ^^ -DDG PS: ONLY FOUR HOURS AND FORTY-FIVE MINUTES LEFT(Eastern Time, 'tis 7:15 right now) UNTIL HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE IS RELEASED! GO NUTS! GO CRAZY! DO SOMETHING! JUST CELEBRATE!
