Stupid Blooy &*^%$#$# Splinter!
This morning is one that I wished I'd stayed in bed for? Anyone else come up to a rough start? Oy. Fifteen minutes to get a splinter out of the bottom of my foot. Pain. And the truck was covered in ice, so we had to defrost the handles before we could get in. Did they delay school? Oh no. And it's supposed to get worse. Well, maybe they'll let us go after noon so that we won't have to make the day up. Nah, the administrators aren't that smart. (You don't believe me? Last year, we actually had a blizzard, but did they even delay District One? Nooooo. The oly school that didn't. Morons.)
Maybe the day will start getting better now that I'm in a warm room. No class first block today. Yes!

The Plaid Avenger
Ah, today is a good day. I've gone about just feeling sorta 'blah'or 'hurblah'. You know, just sorta floating. Which is really good for the past weeks or so I've just been 'irgh'. *sigh*
I trust most everyone had a decent Valentine's and nothing to awful happened. Sunday was a good day, fave day of the week. Mostly 'cause it's the only day I'm guarented to be able to sleep in. Sleep is good.
Okay, right, about the subject. Another story about people/friends that I know.
The meeting of the Plaid Avenger:
I'm fifteen. Have a huge vampire encyclopedia that's abt seven hundred pages I'd borrowed from the library. And my violin and my backpack. I struggle inot the ROTC underclassman room, arms swollen with stuff (obviously) and see these two guys in front of the trophy case. I only truly notice one.
Long dark brown hair, tweed jacket, Marvin the Martian t-shirt, brown corderoys, and black steel toed boots. He was holding a trophy.
Truth: the very first thought in my head "What are you doing in My ROTC room?"
Obviously didn't say that. But I put my stuff down and went to the Baby Penguin (this was before we started dating, he was just one of my squad members at the time)and was like 'who deez guys?'
Started talking to the cute, long haired guy. Introduced himself as "The Plaid Avenger", which was the same thing that was on his visitors pass. Turns out he is a Dreher et ROTC et Drill team (major flash jealousy) alumnus.
So, instead of having an Academic Team meeting we all just stood around and talked, compared scars, found common interests, were thrown outta the room 'cause we weren't studying. You know just fooled around.
At the end of all this, he gave me his e-mail address and thus started an interesting (to say the very least) relationship.
I could go on, but that was just the meeting. If I remember correctly, he has a bio page. Hmmm, may add a link to that once I'm at home and not at school and have access to stuff like that (stupid Bess, deserves to die. Won't let me onto any good sites. ergh.)
Only three months and four days until graduation! Not that I'm looking forward to it or anything, I'm just manically excited that I no longer have to stay here and take annoying classes that are needed to graduate that I have no interest in (i.e. gov/econ).
So, enjoy your day today. Have fun. "...eat your cereal with a fork and do your homework in the dark." - Mark/Harry, Christian Slater, 'Pump Up the Volume'

Happy Valentine's Day!!!
Ah, yes. Valentine's Day, usually I'm all blah, but today I'm actually really enjoying myself. Went out to eat and am currently paused in watching 'Bloodlust' :) I managed to convince some of my friends who aren't anime fanatics that this movie is a romance (which, in a way it is). So I'm basking in the glory (and beauty) that is D!
Hope y'all are having just as good a Day as I am! Cheers!

Well, I have time before school's out to do my homework and write something down, so I shall. I think I'll make it a little story time. Just so y'all can get to know me. Let's see...who can I talk about?
The Confessor:
I really wanted to go to the Scottish Games down in Charleston, let's see it was...um...going on three years ago, so I went down with one of my dance teachers to spend the night with her at a friend's house. Had to do this b/cs my mom and sisters weren't coming down to Charleston 'til the day of the dance, which was in the evening, and I'd miss the games which were in the morning.
So, I have all my clothes packed and books ready for reading. Now, I knew the friend had a daughter who did Highland dancing. I mistakenly thought that she was her only child.
So I walk in through the hallway, something catches the corner of my eye, and I turn my head to the left and see this good looking black haired guy hunched over the computer typing. Very first thought: "Oh! I didnt' know she had a son!"
This was around late afternoon, early evening. I sat at the kitchen table and started reading. Supper was served a little later, I ate with the mother and father. Go over to the bookshelf and pick up "The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes" and start reading that. Now the son had walked through the kitchen a couple of times but I was too shy to say anything.
Finally, at eleven o'clock at night (I had my watch) whilst he's walking by me I look up, buck up my courage, and say "Salve." (pro: sawl-way Latin, means 'hello') He goes: "What?" And thus started an eight hour conversation that had me walking on the roof, discussing anime, Star Wars, telling the whole history of my life, all the problems I was having, and giving him my e-mail address. (I also didn't sleep for forty-eight hours, which ment I was really crabby on the way home from the dance and after party when I couldn't take a shower like I wanted to at three o'clock the next morning and had to wait for my sisters to take one first.)
Thus started a beautiful friendship. We exchange e-mails lots and he always gives me a shoulder to cry on.
So yeah, there's the background info to one person you'll probably hear about. The other persons I'll talk about I'll tell you later. 'Course if you want to find out about writerashle you can just go to her webpage. Well,need to go do Latin homework so I don't have to walk home with an extra twenty pounds on my back (the accumulation of going on four years worth of notes).

Nothing to say for today
Today I have nothing much to say. Mostly 'cause I need to get off the internet ASAP so that Mom can recieve her incoming calls. Put I've done what I've needed to do. Now all I have to do is finish my short story, edit it, and send it in. Who knows, maybe it'll actually get published. Hmmm...only two months 'til I find out if "Retribution" has been accepted in The Sun. Nervous, very nervous. Guess I'll just add more stuff later.

"I love you I hate you I can't live without you..."
"Always" - Saliva
I think it's slightly depressing, but such is life. Maybe that's why I woke up singing this song. The world may never know.
So, it's the morning and it's Friday! Deo gratias est hodie Veneri. Everyone nod your head in agreement.
What's up for today? A debate meeting, need to get something memorized for the debate in Charleston on the 28th or else I'm going to be in trouble. I have physics stuff. *sticks out tongue* Argh, annoyances. Also need to do my ROTC homework that due in today. *sigh* Which I should be doin now.
On the brighter side, it's suppose to get up to 60 today. :)
Things to do as soon as I get home: finish e-mails, wallow in embarressment, take a shower, eat supper, and go to bed. Finish watching the episode of COWBOY BEBOP if it's nothing later than six. (Yes I'm planning on going to bed Really early tonight).
And now for the homework that I didn't do last night. Thrills.

"Do you believe in heaven above / Do you believe in love?"
"Send Me an Angel" - Thrice
(todays song-which-is-stuck-in-my-head [although I didn't wake up singing it])
********
Thus the man passed his days in obscurity. Until the time finally came for his potential to be achieved.
On this particular day the man woke up and looked out the window. The sun was only just coming over the horizon and the breeze ruffled the trees as lightly as a mother stroking her baby's back. Inside his house, the light was gently creeping along the floor. Tentitively it wriggled its fingers along the bare floor. Oh so slowly it eventually made its way across the room and to the opposing wall.
The man sat up and scowled. The light revealed only bare walls, bare table, bare dresser, the closet door, the door from the room, and his bed.
'My life,' the man thought, 'has now accumulated to nothing more than the non-existant dust on the floor and my clothing.'
Still scowling, the man swung out of bed. He pulled on some clothes and dug his hat and boots from under his bed. Then he proceeded to take an old, worn knapsack from the closet, roll up a warm blanket, get out two pairs of clothes and stuff it all in the bag. Placing the hat firmly on his head he left his room never to return. He paused only long enough to take some food from the kitchen.
Thus, the name he used to be called and the town he came from has been lost to antiquity. And this, my friends, is where we enter the tale and the everything begins.
********
Oh, feel the creative juices flowing. Interesting fella, eh? Hmmm, I should probably see how all my other little people are doing. Who knows who knows. Certainly not me.
Have fun little children, don't cause too much trouble. Stay insane.

no subject
Annoying personal habit: songs. At any point at any given time on any given day I tend to have a song stuck in my head (and at times try to sing it). Take today, for example. I was reaing Someguy's webpage and now have "Bus Stop" in my head. It's a goldie oldie if you don't recognize the title.
Seems I have nothing better to do with my time now then scramble on the internet during free time in class and write whatever random garble comes floating into my brain and through my fingers on to this website.
Random list of friends by nickname: Pink (the guy who I have a crush on), the David Bowie-ite, writerashley, lupismaris, ID, Super Ego (yeah, like the Fraudian pyschology), (the) Confessor, Dance Partner, the Plaid Avenger (well, right now we're not talking, but I'll be talking about him, he's had a major effect on my life), Marine-Wanna-Be, Stand Partner/Slightly Peeved, Boy, and My Best Friend. I'll add more when they start being mentioned often, these are the ones with potential to being mentioned often.
List on my first little sister's nicknames: Peck, Gelfling, Hobbit, Number One, Chicken, Master Fried Chicken, Peckling, Dork, and others are being created.
My ability to talk about nothing astounds even myself.
*********
Once upon a time, a long time before either you or I were born, there lived a man. This was no surprising thing. Men have lived for ages and ages. But this man was different.
There was nothing really to differentiate *okay, side note here, I'm a gosh awful speller* this man from all his other neighbors. He didn't look special. He acted normal. The main thing, was an amazing potential that lay within the core of his being that not even he knew about.
*******
Hmmmm, wonder who he is and where he came from? Don't tend to start things out once upon a time. *ponders*
Oh, because it will come up eventually, Sam and Fred are my goblins who sit on my shoulder. You ever go to my fanfiction section (nome de plume Irish Nobody) they're water elementals, but that's just b/cs they're too smart to be goblins for the Laby world.
Well, I'm going to be a nice girl and allow Marine-Wanna-Be to get on the internet now and look up job options.
Why? I don't know. He's planning on going into the Marines, why he needs to look into job offerings for four years in the future is beyond me. I do not plan that far ahead.

just random
David Bowie is pure awesomeness. True? Absolutely.
So now y'all know what I'm listening to at the moment.
Again, I set out with something in mind to write, but in taking so long to get here it has left my head.
"Don't ever say I'm better, I'm better, I'm better..."
Okay, stories. How about that? Explaination of Baby Penguin.
Once upon a time in eleventh grade my boyfriend asked me an odd question. Namely, "Do I look like a baby penguin?"
I gave him a look and said, "Noooooo."
"Hah!" he goes "I win!"
"What?" I thoroughly confrused.
"I made a bet with *someone* that I didn't look like a baby penguin. And since I don't that means I win and she loses."
"Oh, well in that case, since it's *someone* you do look a baby penguin. 'Cause baby penguins are cute and you're cute."
Then he denied that he was. Greatly.
But it was too late, the damage was done. And now my former boyfriend is known as (the) Baby Penguin.
*hee hee hee* I'm just an annoying thorn in the side.
And the Bowie-ite is trying to make lewd comments at me. Poor sot.
Well, schools almost out. So, I'm going to go pack up and walk home and enjoy watching 'Cowboy Bebop' (series) which said David Bowie-ite hast lent me.
