'Should I take that as a compliment?'

I've got a new website in the works. I think its going to turn out pretty well. My friend/step-cousin Tre finally convinced me to start making it so I got on the computer at my mom's last night, found a cool picture of the splash page banner and started making it while he sat in the living room and wrote reviews on games. Yep, games. My new site is going to be about games; more specifically, Mature Rated games hence the name of the website, Mature Game Play. Of course, we have plans to not only cover games but also movies as well. Horror flicks mostly, with the largest coverage probably being on the Freddy and Jason sagas, as well as the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I'm sure that the website will turn out rather well. So far, Tre has written three reviews and I've written one. Eh, I hate to say anything about his reviews but...they need some work. That's not to say that they're not any good, but, I'll definitely be doing some fine tuning on them before they go up on the site. Heh, my review ended up longer than I thought it would be and there are still things that I could have added to it, but, these aren't final copies of the reviews anyway; just rough drafts. Click here to view all that's been done so far. (its just the splash page...) Well, to go along with that website news, I've narrowed my new site name down to two choices. 1.) The Anime Datastream (Courtesy of Wandering K) 2.) The Anime Darkroom (Courtesy of the Dictionary!) Both are very unique. I looked them up on Google and neither, neither of them had ever been used before. Well, atleast not from what I could tell. So, I'd highly appreciate it if you could tell me which one you like better by leaving me a comment, PMing me(here at myO or OB) or emailing me. ^_^ And lets not forget what you'll be seeing if you've visited TAD lately. An apology. About TAD being down... for re-construction. Yes, re-construction. I'm going to keep TAD down for a few weeks while I work on a new layout and get some major work done on Anime pages. Finally! Its here! Its here! Yep, when I got back to my mom's house on Wednesday, my mom told me that my WinTV GO had arrived. I was so happy! I immediately grabbed its large box and ran off into my sanctuary(my room). After opening the box, I read the instructions and found out that I'd need to open up the CPU just to install it. oO You think I'm going to do that? By myself? You're nuts! So I decided that I'd wait until I could go back to my dad's at a time when he was there and have him help me install it on the computer. Well, I'm at my dad's now and I have a few problems. 1.) I left the WinTV GO at and 2.) I'm only going to be here for about two more hours before my mom's going to be picking me up to take me back home because if she doesn't, I'll be here alone all night because Josie has to work. Man, I just hate technical difficulties. I'm dreaming... Hm. I've been having odd dreams over the past few weeks. The most odd one's were of meeting OB members, especially if they were members that I didn't really know all that well. In my latest dream, it was split into two parts, each was a different day(in the dream, not in real life)I met Mimmi in the first part and we talked for about...two minutes before the dream went into the second part(the next day). In that part, I met up with Mimmi again, along with BabyGirl(Why it was her I don't know why. I barely even know her!). Then, later in that part of the dream, the three of us were walking along on the beach when, out in the waves we spot Baron surfing. Eh, right. Well, that was my most recent one about meeting OB members. But, the very first one I had was very odd indeed. I can't remember much of what was going on, but, I do remember that I met OtakuSennen, Shinmaru and Charles. And then, there was a very messed up dream that I had a few days after my first dream about meeting people from OB. I really can't remember what went on in that one and the only person I remember meeting was Sara...and she was sitting in a large teacup full of tea. oO I guess while on the subject of dreams, I had an interesting Metal Gear Solid dream the other day and it got me thinking. Why the hell did I have a dream about Metal Gear Solid? A game that I've played very little of? Then it hit me. My dream(which I can just about fully remember) had the perfect storyline for an awesome Metal Gear Solid story. Yeah, you must be thinking, how can you write a story about a game that you've only played one demo of, huh? Well, I've read every single article about anything Metal Gear Solid in my GamePro magazines, on the internet and in my GMR magazines. And I've also watched as my dad played Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and I played through a few parts in the game when he was away(*hint hint*bathroom*hint hint*). I really think I could do it. I also think I'm going to take the game home with me...*snatches game from video game cabinet and slips into her bag* Ehem. You didn't see that. The awaited anticipated meeting Well, on Thursday, I finally got to meet Robin, along with her sister Courtney. I liked them both very much, they were very nice and very friendly. We(Lonnie, Blaike and I) didn't get to spend much time with her and her sister, not sure why and I didn't really feel like asking. But, we did go out to eat at Pizza Hut *prevents self from pueking* Pizza Hut...is...not one of my favorite Pizza resturants. The last time I had ate there I ended up throwing up two personal pan pizzas that I had gotten with my two Book It! vouchers. No, I didn't throw up because I ate too much. It was the pizza. I know it was because I felt really sick right after I finished eating it that afternoon, I mean puekey sick, sick-sick, not upset-stomach-I-just-ate-too-much sick. Alright, moving on... After eating at Pizza Hut, we took a short drive over to the local ice cream shop, got some ice cream and then took a walk. While walking, we found a really nice place to take a few pictures at. Well, it was a decent place to take a picture...if you didn't have to close your eyes during the picture because the sun was shining directly into them. Ouch. So, if I ever get ahold of that picture from the Digital Camera, you all can see me looking as if I'd fallen asleep on the bench... *coughs* We didn't do much else. We visited a store that sold musical instruments and then headed down to the park where we watched people play basketball. The entire time Lonnie complained about not bringing a basketball. T_T I'm going to make it my duty to remember to bring my basketball next week so I don't have to listen to him complaining again... We are not getting gay with any kids. Blaike let Tre and I borrow his complete third season boxed set of South Park the other day so Tre and I could watch the episodes on it. Oh my was that hilarious. I'd have to say the best one out of all three DVD's was the ChinPoko Mon episode with the Sexual Harassment Panda with a close second. Ok, I'll just make this post even longer by posting my story, lol. Continuing from...eh, Tuesday I believe. “Boss, I think they got away.” Luigi said. “Let’s get back to the hideout then.” Sonny said. As they walked outside they saw a cop coming out of the mall towards them. They quickly ran to their car, started it, and sped down the road. They reached their hideout in no time. It was a mansion on Starfish Island. They walked inside. Joey went into the living room and turned on the TV. “Hey, Sonny, come here ” he yelled. Sonny walked into the living room. Joey pointed to the TV. “Look who’s on TV,” “The NARCOTICS officers here have just arrested two main crime lords, Tommy Vercetti, who was just released from prison yesterday, and Victor Maveski.” A news reporter said. “Well, well, well. So Tommy can’t even stay out of jail for a day. Let alone see a setup in the making.” Sonny gleefully said. * * * “Alright, we’re here.” Said the driver of the Enforcer. Two officers opened the doors at the back of the truck. “Oh my god. Some one get a stretcher.” one of the officers yelled. As the officer went to go get a stretcher, Hennessey talked to Victor. “Maveski! Get over here ” he yelled. “But, I want to stay with Tommy, to make sure he’ll be alright.” Victor said glancing back at me. “I’ll make a deal with you. If you can beat me in a fight in the gym, I’ll give you a detention cell with him. Deal?” he said with a gleam in his eye. Victor didn’t notice nor care. “Deal.” He said. Hennessey came over and uncuffed him. Two doctors then came with a stretcher. “Who is it?” asked one of the doctors. Hennessey pointed to the back of the truck. “It’s Vercetti, back there.” Victor climbed into the back of the truck. “I’ll help you put him on the stretcher.” “Are you sure you can pick him up?” questioned the other doctor. Victor nodded. “Yes, I can.” He came over and picked me up. I opened my eyes at that moment and was amazed he could pick me up. He gently laid me down on the stretcher. Hennessey came over and uncuffed me. The two doctors wheeled me away to the emergency room in the jail. Victor looked at Hennessey. “Ok, cop, let’s get it on ” he challenged. Hennessey led Victor inside to the gym. He took Victor over to the boxing ring. They both climbed in. Hennessey took off his uniform shirt and threw it on the floor. They started fighting right away. Hennessey punched Victor on the shoulder and Victor struck him back. Not on the shoulder, or the face, but the groin. Hennessey fell to his knees with his hands between his legs. “Oh, sh*t! I give up. You win. I didn’t know your punch would be that f*cking strong ” he fell over. "Your cell is right down the hall! 3C!” he yelled, still in great pain. Victor walked out of the gym, laughing, down the hall, and into the detention cell. Copyright Kayla Neff/DDG 2004 Be sure to check the Story Archive for the rest of the story! Whew, glad that today's bit was short. I didn't want this post to get too long. Alright, that's all from me. I'm going to go add this bit of the story to the Story Archive and then work on my website(s). -DDG
