Whats up!
Still thinking up ideas for all my different stories, but I still need help with names for "GREED: The Sands of Egypt." (Profiles for the two main characters are in my last update.) Oh, and I'd like to post one of my stories (in writing or comic form, if possible) on theO. Which one should I post:

- The Afterworld
- Pokémon Kaigan
- GREED
- GREED: The Sands of Egypt

I just can't make up my mind-- so you guys can do that for me. If you don't remember the storylines, just let me know, and I'll throw them into my next update. Until then, tchau!

Idea forming!
That's right-- possibly another version of "GREED," but with all-new cash-hungry characters on a new continent! I've only got a vague idea, but tell me what you think of it….

Okay, so it's a little Indiana Jones-like, taking place in Egypt with the 19-year-old son of a deceased archeologist and his half-sister, an 18-year-old aspiring model, as the main characters. He was born and raised in Egypt, but she was born here in the US and lived in England while she was in high school. Now that she's graduated she'll finally meet her half-brother… and both will become immersed in a supernatural chase for the riches of Egypt.

Now that I think about it, it's only about halfway between "GREED" and "The Afterworld." I mean, the two are after loads of cash and ancient artifacts, but so are all these undead horrors. And yet… I still need a title and names for the characters. All I've figured is that the guy's last name is Stone-- but the girl doesn't need that same last name (they are half-siblings, but it could be same mother, different fathers.) Any suggestions? Just leave a reply with any possible names and I'll see if I like them. Anyway, bye for now!

I'm back! But-- no rankings anymore?
I don't get it-- no number, it just says "unavailable." But let's ignore that for now, I just got home like a couple days ago from the road trip. Let's see… I got to tour the Coca-Cola museum, visit my southern cousins, have fun at Busch Gardens… I'm not boring you, am I?

Anyways, I'm back, and allready working on an updated version of The Afterworld. Remember that? The parralel universe of the dead that two high-school kids stumble into in the old basement of their own school? I'm gonna work on that for a little while, see how it works out. Anyway, I think I'll be able to drop in again soon. Sayonara.

The road trip is on!
You heard right-- I'll be touring the country for the next two weeks, so I probably won't be able to update until like August. I'll try to tell you where we went-- that is, me, my mom who came up with this idea, and the origami frog who's going on tour along with us-- when I get to update again.

Tell me something, thou-- what would be the top 5 places to go if you guys could travel all across your country whenever you want? What five places would you HAVE to visit? I'd like to hear about your dream vacations when I come back. So for now, sayonara.

What up?
Well, computers have been shut off lately to keep the house from heating up (even thou it's not warm enough that we need the a/c on, or so I've heard). So, here I am finally updating today when I should've had the chance Friday or yesterday… or both.

Anyway, I think I'll get the chance to travel about the country this summer. Amusement parks, fancy hotels, all kinds of distant relatives and hundreds of miles from home. We're trying to get everything cleared away first-- I haven't heard much, but from where I'm standing it looks like the trip'll probably happen. And if the trip is possible, I'll try and update to tell you when we're going-- I don't think I'll get to many chances to chat on theO. Anyway, check ya later!

Happy… uhh… 3d of July!
Yeah, I doubt I'll be on theO on the actual 4th of July, so here I is a day early. I've been working a LOT on my Pokémon spinoff-- drawing a blank on the pirate manga. Oh, and my parents found out about the summer reading thing that there was no WAY I was gonna do. (It takes me forever to read a book, there's no way I would read two off the list.) Anyway, I guess I'll talk to you guys later. Tchau!

What's shaking?
How's it going? Like I said, I don't think I'll get too many chances to update during the summer-- too many places with bad internet connections-- but today I got kinda lucky. So, I've been lying around all week working like crazy-- NOT on my pirate manga, mind you, but on a Pokémon spinoff I came up with. Everyone at school got me back into the Pokémon craze these last couple months, and the story's based a little around my life. (Heck, the main character who sometimes tells the story, his name's Raimundo. Why not?)

Anyway, I think I'm starting to really move along in thinking up that Pokémon fanfic series. You'd like to hear more about that or the pirate manga (which STILL needs a title), just pm me and I'll get back to you when I can. Tchau!

Whew… so glad it's over!
Well. School's out, a/c's installed, and my techno-pirate manga is kinda moving along. I just can't seem to string the main characters together-- how they meet up and form the crew. Got an idea of the paths of the first two, Elizabeth "Elissa" Close and Kwame Knight, cross twice in one day. But I can't seem to fit in the other two characters-- Jason Locharernkul and Tyson "Ty" Ducaru. And STILL I need a title. Could you guys help?

Hope I can really get this vacation rolling-- I allready hit the beach this week (hoping to try a couple others too), looking forward to a water park a good few miles away, and hanging out with my friends all summer long. And no homework! Now that's what I'm talking about! For once I'm not doing the summer reading-- it always takes forever for me to read a book, and whose lame idea was summer reading anyway? Well, nine weeks to go, so let's get this vacation going.

By the way, meant to tell you that I might not get to update that much over the summer-- there's plenty of places without net connection that I might be, so…. But still, it's not like I'm gonna be gone all summer, right? Sayonara.

PS. Course selection for next year's all squared away and I'm gonna start taking Portuguese as a foreign language next year. (Hey, it's a part of who I am… I'm Portuguese from my dad's side of the family. Heck, you can call me Raimundo if you want-- it's just a fake name I've invented for now.) So, I'll talk to you guys again soon. Tchau!

Another day, another dollar
Well, it's another weekend and only two days of school are left. Sorry I haven't dropped in lately, but the a/c hasn't been installed yet and we've had to keep the comp off to cool the house down. Anyway, I'm having a bit of a tough time with my pirate manga-- stringing the characters and how they meet all together. Maybe you could give me suggestions if I pm you with some of the details?

Oh, and it still needs a title. I liked the "double meaning" idea someone gave me, but titles still fail me. I was thinking of a one-worder myself, but I found out my only idea-- "GREED"-- belongs to a 1920's movie and a game show that gave away up to $2 million. I'd like any suggestions, if you could pm them to me. Either way, sayonara.

   Yawwwwwwn…. sleepy….
Well, it's late Sunday and exam week starts tomorrow. Just came back from a friend's house and hopefully I'll get to go there again later on this week. Can't wait for the trampoline, the GameCube, the duels-- even thou I can never draw what I want and the Reload Spell Card pretty much always backfires.

Anyway, I'm kinda moving along on my techno-pirate manga. I've got the main characters, but wow do I need a name for the story itself. Any suggestions? Get back to me on that later. Sayonara!
