   *yawn*
Alright, I'm tired. Yesterday and Friday was the school play, "Evil Doings at Queen Toot's Tomb". Like every other play at my school, it was a comedy that ended with a not-so-average romantic way. ^^
I, like last year, was an extra *mumbled grumble*. I tried my best to entertain, which was during the dinner scene, I snagged an animal cracker and ate it. ^^
Didn't work.
Either way, I was beat Friday, having pulled a fourteen and a half hour shift at school. My legs hurt so much, I had trouble getting to sleep.
The next day was tons of fun. The lines clicked, cues were better, and Constance Paine made one of the biggest cover-ups ever.
You see, in Act 1, Scene 5, almost everybody goes down into Queen Toot's tomb to unveil her sarcogphogus (sp? ...-.-; ). Well, somebody skipped nearly three pages and almost ended the scene ten minutes short. Luckily, Constance made the cover up of "Shouldn't we check if the mummy is inside?" They hadn't bothered to open it yet. ^^;
I sure am gonna miss the play, from Liz playing a "befuddled old British gentleman" to Aaron finally saying "You look...unbelieveable" right. For the past two months, it has been my life. My body and soul went into it, and I know I'll never forget it.
And now, for some quotes. *evil grin*

"You will my dear...sooner than you think-" *throws out arm and hits Artie* "A thousand greetings!" - Ben-Dare Dundat.

"C'mere you big hunk o' man!" - Miss Pristine Manners.

June: "Well I had a wonderful time!"
Constance: "Oh June! If your dress caught on fire, you'd be dancing around saying, 'I'm having a wonderful time, my dress is on fire, I'm having a wonderful time!'"
June: *angry, which she never is* "Well, I'd have an even BETTER time if YOUR dress was on fire!"

"Speaking British makes my lips feel fat." - Liz (Sir Crocker Dial)

Ben-Dare: *panicing* "Something's wrong! Something's terrible!"
Allura: "What?"
Ben-Dare: *panicing more* "Miss Manners has her hand on my leg!"

Arite: "Take this cat for example."
Crocker: *picks up cat statue and almost pockets it* "Oh. Much obliged."
Arite: *snatches the cat back* "I meant take a look at it!"

(A Mess Up)
Crocker: *intending to pull a joke* "I say Mr. Dundat, why don't you ask Miss Hara for a...date?"
Ben-Dare: *ignores the joke* "No thanks. I'm not really hungry."
Artie: *moments later* "You can help yourself to some fruit if you like." *indicates the dates*
Ben-Dare: "I just said I'm not hungry."

Niles: *comes out from right stage* "I have some more artifacts for you to examine, Professor Facts." *carrying Burger King box, which held the night's dinner*

Sue: *stuggling to break free from Abba and Shah's grips* "et go of me you big gorilla!" (meaning Shah) "And you too, you little monkey!"(meaning Abba)
Abba: "Well, he might be hairy...but I'm not!"

(Another Mess Up)
Niles: "Allura and her thugs are gong to be spending a lot of time behind jail."

Heide: *to Allura* "You're mean! You were mean to me and you were mean to them! I brought these to show you I don't want your figs! You eat them!" *thrusts basket with snake in it at her*
June/Melody/Constance: *thrust Allura's arm into the basket* "Yeah! You eat 'em!"
Allura: *shocked* "MY ASP!"
Crocker: "I beg your pardon!"

Constance: *after Allura dies* "We're sorry...we didn't mean to..."
Sue: "It's alright girls."
Me: *backstage* *sweetly* "Yeah, you just killed someone!"

(Thursday before Opening Night, I take the place of Amanda Potts*
*Act 2, Scene 2, during dinner*
Me: *talking to Pristine for idle conversation* "So Miss Manners, how are your students?"
Pristine: *grins/smiles* "Insane."

Easter and Guestbook Problems ~.~
Happey Easter! Yeah, ain't that original? ^^;
I'm not too much in the mood to talk alot, but there's sommin' I wanna say about the guestbook:
Please, and dammit, I mean PLEASE, don't leave a dinky message, with 90% of it being "come to my site". I'm sorry to say, but I'm not going to. Why? It's 'cause I'm...kinda lazy. I really could care less about other people's sites. Most people who sign mein g.b. have really lame sites with absolutely nothing interesting to talk about. Also, online grammar drives me nuts.
With that being said, thanks for everyone who's signed my guestbook. And Happy Easter to you, Zefie! ^^

   Textbooks (espcially History ones) are evil...plus Katana's quarterly report card!
Yo. Long timie, no typie from me. I suppose. I've been kinda busy...er, scratch that. REALLY busy lately. I know, you've heard that excuse before. But, for once, mine is 100% true. Between craming for tests, working my butt off on projects, and rehearsing for the school play, I haven't had that much time to myself. The time I do is spent working on The Junkdraw (mein website), sleeping, doing homework, and eating. Not much, No Da?
So, why are textbooks, mainly History ones, evil? Well, it all happened on Wednesday...my SS teacher gave the class this summary thing to do AT THE END OF CLASS that was due the next day. So we scurry out of the room, and once I get my locker open, I have to shove my damn, 600-page, hardcover History book in there. After eighth period (SS is sixth), I took out my backpack, and discovered that my textbook had RIPPED OFF THE BACK COVER OF AZUMANGA DAIOH VOLUME 3!!! I was shocked, and swore death to the stupid thing.
Report card? Messa's butt is gonna get kicked, but this is how it went, according to mein website:

*yawns* I-SAT (I live in Illinois) really, really, really...sucks. Luckily I only had to take the Science and Social Science (History for the few of us that speak actual English), and I had them done within fifteen minutes. ^^; Fill-in-the-circle tests seem to be my best.
Report cards came out on Tuesday. During ninth period (which is band for me), the announcement came at about 2:27, so we all got packed up. During that time, Mr. Vandenbosch was playing 'The Deathmarch' (or, I'm pretty sure that's what it's called). Anyways, after receving my r.c., I took a deep breath, opened it up, scanned it over...and freaked out.
A in Science, A in Literature, A in Graphic Design (encore), A- in English (which broke the two quarter-in-a-row B+ legacy), A in History, A in Math, A in Gym, and A in Band. I practically jumped two feet in the air, then clobbered my poor friend Meghan, who helped me in my English. ^^ Me's was happy, especially with getting a perfect 4.0 GPA. ALRIGHT!

*hides behind cardboard box*

   Quick Notes
I'll make this a quickie...
~Today I got volumes 2 and 3 of Azumanga Daioh. I LOVE IT! ^^
~Yesterday, a good thing and a not-so-good thing happened. Good thing? I WON YOUNG AUTHORS! Well, at least, in fiction, at my school. Bad thing? Well, I tried out for the school play. And got an extras role. AGAIN. The person who stole my part was some b*tchy 8th grader who was "disappointed" when she found out. Grrr, hate her! *huffs*
G'night!

Friendship
Last night...or should I say this morning?...I was at a sleepover for one of my friend's birthday party. It was tons of fun. *thinks* Wha'd we do? ...Played 'Whose Line Is It Anyways?', did little Broadway musicals *^^;* ate cake, drank soda, played the sleeping bag game (which is where you put someone in a mummy sleeping bag, close the hole really tightly, and try to pick them up and lug them to another room), and basiclly vegged out. We even started a sisterhood between the six of us (all girls: Meghan, Liz, Diane, Lorenza, Monica, and me), sharing "deep dark secrets" *laughs*. I found out (to no surprise) that I speak my mind when I'm sometimes not supposed to. I also found out that one of my friends might wanna strangle me after a day together. Oh, and that I roll my eyes toomuch *rolls eyes*. STOP THAT! *sweatdrop*
My best friend Lorenza said she could spend two days with me, than throw me out on the street with nothing but a cardboard box. And I said the same thing to her.
The power went out at around 12:30. It was freaky, as how the sky in the northwest flashed green and blue (and supposidly red, but I didn't see that). We found out the next morning that the transformer at the electric place "blew up" (for lack of better words). Lorenza was grasping me and Monica's hands really tight, and wouldn't let go for about ten minutes, when we found out that everyone else in the subdivision had lost power. Which is when everybody got their own individual hug, and not because of a joke. We were all so relieved that the nuclear power plant way off somewhere hadn't exploded.
When I lied my head down for a minute, I started to cry. I was happy. I have never had friends like the ones I have now.
After that, Liz brought up the topic of: "You know, this may sounds weird to you guys, but some times I feel like a lesibian"...at which point, we burst out laughing, slamming each other into pillows because we had to be quiet. Here's how the coversation went:
*after Liz's subject line*
Me: I don't think you are, because it's being sexually attracted to them.
Liz: ...Phew. *laughs*
Me: But there's nothing wrong with loving a friend.
Monica: Yeah, I know. There's boyfriend-girlfriend love, friendship love, family love, and God love - but I'm not going to get into that. *giggles*
....At which point, I thought that, yeah, I do love my friends. I'm glad they even are my friends, and took the risk of befriending a jerk like me. *sigh* Yup...
Lorenz also told me that I had saved her, at which point I shot her a look like "What the hell are you talking about". She explained earlier about these two years she spent in a struggle between her parents, who were getting divorced, and everything else. She said that, before she met me, she was really quiet (which is very hard to believe) and didn't release her feelings much. But then she did meet me, and after seeing how I yell out my feelings, she became the loud and peaceful person you know today (if you do know her).
We wrapped up the night by huddling our sleeping bags together so we wouldn't get cold. No electricty means no heat. And it's pretty cold in a basement in northern Illinois in the middle of March past midnight. *heh*
Over and out,
-Katana

Various little things
Yeah, I'm keeping to royalblue.
Anyways, I've been busy the past few days, mainly working on some writing. I just had some ideas pop into my head that I wanted to write about, so yeah. That, and I'm desperatly waiting for the Boards to open up again. I WANNA POST IN RUROUNI KENSHIN: RIVER OF TIME!!! *huffs*
Well, mid-terms. I didn't get any of my encore classes (although I'm getting A's in them) or Band (A again). BUT, I got everything else. Science: A. Literature: A. Englsih: B+. Social Studies: A-. Math: A- (not surprising, seeing as how I got a D on two quizzes in a row (which were cheap 'cause if you missed two or three, you fail)). Progess report finished.
The quiz I submitted was posted up three days ago (the 16th). And, at the moment, it still has a 100% rating accuracy with 33 votes. I can't believe it! I'M A GOOD QUIZ MAKER! I'm planning on making the "sequel" to that quiz and calling it "What GS: The Lost Age Character Are You?" It will have all eight good adepts, so you can tell what character you are. Some questions might be similar to the first one, but more specific. EE! I'm proud of myself. (Although, I can see Adam played on my name when he put up my page. Whenever I click to see the quiz, it always has ads for katanas or martial arts stuff). -.-;
Ah...I can't think of whatelse to post. Later!

Becoming a Disciple
Alright, I'm bored, and trying to waste time...so I'll show you all the e-mail I sent to become a Guru disciple. (Hnn, can't you tell I'l bored?)
--------------------------------------------
*bows* Almighty Guru, I have created a quiz...will you accept it?
Guru: ...
*confused* Uh..
Guru: ....
Helllo?
Random Person: HE'S MEDITATING!
Wa, sorry!
Anyways...GURU! I have *somehow* managed to create a quiz at the best of my abilities! The instructions Adam left about the HTML part left me confused-
Adam: *sweatdrop*
-So I saved the two parts as two seperate things. I'm not a master at HTML, to say the least...but, oh well.

Quiz Name: What Golden Sun Adept Are You? (I would like to note that this only pertains to the first game)
Type: Video Games
myOtaku Name: Katana

I believe that's it...later! *lights incense stick, than runs out of the Guru quiz temple*
--------------------------------------------
Yep, and that's how it went. -.- Can't you tell I'm bored?
Well, tomorrow's school. *sigh* I better do that stupid literature packet...(Have any of you ever read 'A Swiftly Tilting Planet'? Or, for that matter, 'A Wrinkle in Time'? *half the audience shrudders* Yep. It sucks.)

   WAA! I'm a dork
Alright, not really. But, sorta. I guess.
I am happy to say I have submitted two greetings! ^^ There's a Trigun one for Valentine's Day. In fact, it's the most popular Trigun one (and that's not exactly saying alot). It's been sent 21 times since Friday. :D Also, I submitted a Yu Yu Haksuho one featuring Hiei and Yukina. Although it's for 'Love and Dating', I liked the picture way too much. But, I've seen it, and hate it. The font bled into the picture. Funny thing, though, is that it turned out perfectly fine on my hard drive...DAMN .JPG!!!
*huffs* And last night was my middle school's fifth annual Valentine's Day Dinner Dance and Silent Auction. Lots o' fun that was. I ate around five desserts...or was it seven? *oro* Not sure. But it was good stuff. My poor friend Lorenza twisted her ankle though, and I'm afraid it's my fault...luckily, she's the forgiving, peaceful, overall happy-go-lucky type, so I didn't get my skull bashed in.
The silent auction part was fun. I won a coffee and tea basket for 24 bucks, and it's not that cheap crap you get at the corner store. I gots two 1/2 pound bags of coffee beans, four bags of hot cocoa mix, three boxes of tea, two coffee flavorings, and a mug, PLUS three chocolates and a gourment shortbread. All the stuff was of "the highest quality" and I believe it. That stuff's GOOOOOD! ^^;
Oh, yes...I got some mid-term grades, which come out on Tuesday (so I'll be able to report fully then). 95.3 in Literature, B+ in English (although I'm missing a spelling test from one week because of band lessons *hmm*), 98.5 (I ROCK!) in History, and an A- in math. I'm really surprised at that one because I got a D on two quizzes. My *excuse* reason is that they were those kinds where, if you missed two or three, you fail. ~.~ I hate those...
And, finally, I turned in my Young Authors book Friday. God dammit, I'm glad to have that thing out of my life. It turned out to be 24 pages, but (if time permitted) I wanted it to be at least fifty something...But, I'm fine. Good thing is, I get extra credit in English because of that. YEAH!

   Songs!
Okay, well, I'm bored and have to go to school tomorrow, so this is to just say I'm not dead. And...that I have a song for you! ^^ *clears throat* It is sung to the tune, Silent Night. Try and guess if I made it or not. ^_~

Violent Night
by Nicolas D. Wolfwood

[Wolfwood in a sad, drawling tone, mournfully strumming a guitar]
Violent night, dangerous night; Meryl's not calm, Mill's not bright,
There yon Stampede guy, happy and loud,
Screams about peace oh so proud,
All he wants is peace, All he wants is peace,

Violent night, dangerous night; people quake at the sight,
Stories of Stampede come from afar,
Drunk guys talk about him at every bar;
That's where the rumors are born, there rumors are born.

Violent night, dangerous night; Help me God, cuz Vash ain't bright;
He gets in trouble all over the place,
His donut fetish is not his saving grace;
Help me somebody please, Help me someone please.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Done!
