Psycho rabbits

Have you ever played the game telephone? You know, the one where someone thinks of a message to say into the person next to them's ear and then that person tells the next person what they heard and so on and so forth until it reaches the first person? Well, anyway, yesterday, I went to my friend Bridget's birthday party and we played that near the end of it. Part of the party was spent at the ice arena. I'd gotten new skates just for the occasion. I was sure I was going to fall flat on my ass once I got out there, but I was extremely surprised when I didn't fall the entire time. ^_^; Heh, guess I'm a better ice skater than I thought I was. I haven't ice skated in four years and its been quite awhile since I even rollerbladed. My ice skates are really nice though. *hugs them* I absolutely love them. After we had to leave the ice arena, we went to Zabros Pizza and Buffet. It was my first time going there... and wow. I absolutely loved it ^_^ They had a nice buffet with all different kinds of pizza and desserts and salad and noodles and a bunch of stuff. Plus, they had soft serve ice cream, yay! And another plus, it was an all you can eat buffet. Yep. Good stuff. But after Bridget had opened her presents, the twelve of us girls who were there played telephone. Well, actually we played it near the end of the party as before that we'd been conversating for awhile. But once we started playing telephone, god, you'd be surprised the oddest things that the messages ended up being. Like the title of this post for instance. Original message: Horses eat carrots, does that make them really big rabbits? Ending message: Psycho rabbits *shakes head* It was just too hilarious. I haven't written anything in my Naruto fanfic... But with good reason, of course. One is that I've been busy or doing other more, er, productive things(*shifty eyes* Definitely NOT playing True Crime: Streets of L.A....). The other is that I really was doing more productive things. Mostly things that had to do with my newly renamed "El Pistolla di un Assassino" which is now known as "La Cosa Nostra". You see, after taking into account all of the marvelous things I learned after reading The Godfather, I decided to make a nice handy chart/table in WordPerfect so that I could figure out who in my story played what role in the Family. I've done it for quite a few different points in the story and even for a few other families that were featured in the story. Huzza. I rock with Paint. I made an actual awesome looking banner a little while ago. It'll be up in my signature on OtakuBoards in a minute. Just after I upload it and get the link, then edit my signature. As much as I like my Gaara banners, I'm going to switch to this new one for a little while, then maybe switch back. I'll still be sticking with the same avatar though, because Gaara rocks too much to even make a new avatar. ...how come whenever I post I always forget everything that I wanted to talk about? *shrugs* Ah, whatever. Guess I'll just talk about whatever. I'm starting another Mafia story. I actually started planning for it a bit awhile ago, but I started writing the first chapter today. This one is going to be separated into 3 Books, each with 10 stories about people either from the Mafia Families, the police, detectives, victims, etc. I quite like how its going so far... And while still on the subject of stories: I'm fricken anxious as hell to get my short story back from Mrs. Stratton. For one I want to see my grade for it and for two I want to type it up and post it on OtakuBoards. The only thing that I disliked about my short story was that I couldn't be as graphic as I wanted to be because it had to be school appropriate. I also had wanted to write a bit more for the end. I think I'll at least add what I wanted to write for the end, but was 1.) too lazy to write and 2.) would have made the story longer than the 3-5 pages it was to be(it ended up being six, actually. Somehow. The rough draft was 5...) before I post it on OtakuBoards. So, yeah. Look forward to that. Its rare that I post my work online to be critiqued. I'm really... er, what's that called again... well, I can't think of what its called, but I'm quite shy about showing my work to others. My writing work anyway. Ah, there's that word I was looking for: self-conscious. I'm very self-conscious about my work. Well... that's all I've got to say for now. -DDG
