   Oops [sly grin]

Hey, everyone. I haven't updated for a bit, eh? What, four days? [shrugs] I've just been busy. Leon with Squall is a handful. (In other words, playing Final Fantasy VIII via my PS2.) Addictive...yeah. Mom is mad at me 'cause I'm near-done with it. So I'm gonna put it down for a while... [sigh] Before I continue, I must clarify: Squall ish HOT. Irvine ish HOT. Laguna ish CUTE. ...yeah. Moving on... I've started summer school today. Ugh. Less than 72 hours of relaxation....then BOOM. School again. Whee. I won't say the school or classes or names...but, my classes (two of them) suck. I find them useless. Only reason why I'm attending is 'cause of the CPs (credit points) I'll be getting later on. My teachers are both...weird. One is a hillbilly and the other doesn't sound fun at all. Both are females, just so you know. In the morning, when I got there, my Mom accompanied me. A boy greeted and hugged me. I was scolded later on. Yay. I can't let any guy touch me... Unless, well, if he's Cris. o.o;; Yeah. Protective. Next on my list... I have no school Friday. Yippee!!! (Notice that I actually had excitement added to the word, unlike my previous "cheers.") I start school at 07:30 AM PST and end at around 13:20 PM PST. I have "lunch" at around 10:10 AM PST. I call it brunch, though. ^_^ Sounds more...appropriate, eh? And I got homework, too. First day, and I get piled up with my enemy. Lovely. [sigh] Should I be late, I get in trouble. Should I miss three days, I get kicked out. But I have less than 23 days to go. Encourage me, eh? Help me live...through the nightmare. Oh, before I forget...it's my Grandfather's Birthday today! He turns uh, 82. =P I'm off now. Have to "sleep" -_-;; Stupid neighbors and their fireworks this time around... Toodles. [leaves a bunch of candy for everyone]

Snippet

Soft grass licked at his elegant face. The sound of birds chirping and the gentle drumming of footsteps reached into the Warlock's ears. A soft breeze toyed with the locks of brilliant hair. And the sound of voices...people...talking... Kuja bolted awake, eyes gazing sharply from corner to corner. He was on Gaia. Finally. As he continued watching his surroundings, the sorcerer was aware that there were several farmers looking at him strangely. They had just seen a flash of light and a man appear suddenly. Kuja's tail twitched, his hands itching to draw out energy. Slowly, he got to his feet. And the people drew back, evidently afraid. --- Oh crap. Teacher is back. He needs the computer. D'oh. I just started typing stuff out of the blue. Oh well. I'll post more when I get home, mayhaps....

   Lots of fun

First off, I want to apologize for not updating sooner; I've been having waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much fun, heh heh heh. Saturday, I went...to the ocean!! Stayed all weekend long, too!!! It was FUN! Went to a museum...several, actually. I had the chance to pet baby sharks and a whole lot of other marine animals. Then I saw several old navy battleships back from the Civil Wars. Unfortunately, I didn't really go to the beach. But I went sailing... Stayed overnight on a boat. I'm not seasick!!! LOL. And, I didn't see whales (not in this season) but I saw sea lions and a bunch of seagulls. The water out here isn't the best but it was still a maginicient view and all. I wanted to go helicopter riding, too. But my Mother didn't let me. Oh, and while on the ship, a gull flew over my Father and nearly pooped on him XD It was FUNNY. I saw several cute guys on the trip.. [giggles] Shame they were like a dozen years older than I am. A guy even gave me his number o.O;; That sums up my weekend in hasty placed words.... Wait, I got Final Fantasy VIII, too. Squall ish sho freaking hot... [swoons] Now, onto Monday... We wet to Knott's Berry Farm here in CA. By we, I mean school. It was...not as enjoyable as the ocean trip but it was still fun ^_^ I went on Ghost Rider first... But before that, I had to survive the heat while waiting in a loooooooooooong line. Damn lines, lol. Anyhoo, Ghost Rider... AWESOME. Now, I haven't been to Knott's for like six years, so yeah... At any rate, I nearly flew outta my seat. Whenever the tracks sloped downward, I felt my butt lift up from the seat XD LOLOLOL. Two of my friendd didn't get on the ride, though :'( They don't like roller coasters, sadly. I went to the Big Foot Rapids next. I was...drenched. Literally. I was collectiong water in my pockets and jeans. I felt like I had an accident or something XP My friends weee also soaked... Right after that, we went twirling on this spinning ride. I didn't get sick or dizzy but it helped me dry off a lot :P Then we had lunch. I felt weird eating 'cause two of my friends...the same scared of coaster ones didn't eat. So I was munching on things while they watched on. Disturbing. We ran over to another wet ride... Uh, Perilous Plunge, I think. I got DRENCHED again. Just standing on the bridge, watching, will get you soaked GOOD. The car would come sliding off several stories into a huge pool of water. And with that momentum, water would erupt from the pool and spalsh over the bridge. My pocket was full of water again... I wanted to go on Jaguar next. But they got hungry...so we went and bought some funnel cake. Good stuff I'm telling you. If you ever go to Knott's, try some. =) But anyways, I never got on Jaguar. Or any other major coaster afterwards. But I did get to go on the Log Ride. It as...fun, and thankfully, not as wet. Meh. I'm going to stop here, lol. Too much. I'm tired as heck though. And I'm by myself here. I'll go work on my Kuja fic...maybe. [yawns and stretches] Neck...pain... Bye now, everyone. -Shinimegami

   lmao

Since tomorrow I have a big project due with that camcorder involvement, I asked my Mom if I could buy one. She got REAL crazy/pissed about it. She was screaming and stuff. She called my Dad home. We went to Fry's...err, were. But on the way over, she was still bitching and screaming and all that. My Father asked if I could just not buy it. I said I was fine. So we were going home. But my Mother didn't like this. She slapped and pinched at my Father's arm. And we were in traffic. So it was rather dangerous. Then she screamed that she wanted off of the car and shit. We couldn't handle her anymore. I had tears down my face since she was verbally abusing me... She said stuff like I'm useless. That I'll fail in life. And a whole lot of bullshit. So, we dropped her off in a city "South" of us. We got home. I was pretty quiet. Dad went back to work. Then the phone rings. Lo and Behold, it's my Mom. She said that she wouldn't come home unless my Dad took her to Fry's Electronics. We listened. I told her she won this stupid battle. We went to Fry's while she bickered on with herself. I had decided to shut up with my Dad. While on the highway, I saw a cute guy in a Toyota Tacoma. He was a blond with shades and he looked pretty strong. I couldn't help but to giggle. As I did so, he looked out the window and grinned at me. He also took off his shades, too. It was FUNNY. Then, when we got to the store, I met a guy who looked to be about 24-28. My Dad was looking at the camcorders with my Mom. And they kept telling me to go to the guy whenever they picked out a brand to try it out. I was all like, "Why me?" and the sales guy, a pretty cute blond replied, "Because you're the expert." For me, I said, "Tch, No I'm not!" He just grinned and replied, "I can get you a job here, y'know... You can get discounts... And we can get to know one another." I laughed at this. It sounded to me like he was hitting on me. I just simply said, "Heh, I'm only 13." He made no further comment. My Parents were completely oblivious to this little event. But yeah, I finally got a palmcorder and camera hybird! :-D I'm using it right now, trying it out and all. So, yeah, night, everyone!! XD

And...there are people in my class who aren't graduating. -_-; Losers. I mean, a 1.5 GPA is NOTHING. These people suck. LOL. I also went to listen to my school's band. It was nice. Better than being outside during PE. Uhm... It was also rlaxing since I'm sore all over. That might be all for the day. Toodles! [big hug for visitors]

   [shrugs]

Uh... Just got back from school. There was a ceremony. I got rewards, yeah... And one hundred American dollars. And I saw Darin :-P [giggles] It was cute. I swear, every time I see him or I'm near him, we have to lock eyes XD It's nice though 'cause he's looking out for me and all. Heh heh heh. Then there was my pillow Christian! And, uh, what else...? Oh...the stuff I got. Pretty useless to me. I'm like so accustomed to getting stuff. It..doesn't hold the joy like before >_<;; Ugh.. I had to wear a long skirt. I'm the type of person who HATES dresses... I had to bitch at my Mother for a few hours. I told her I wanted to wear jeans. True, they said to dress "Formally" but the just don't want people wearing revealing clothing, y'know? And my jeans are not revealing; complete opposite, actually. Stupid Mother. I go to the ceremony and voila! Dozens are wearing denim jeans. God, I wish she would just leave me be sometimes... [sighs] I'm all freaking stressed now. I have a project due, like I mentioned earlier. I have a plan, too. But if it doesn't work, my straight A report card goes down the drain. [swears] ...uh, yeah, I'm done now. I just feel....so hopeless and yeah. [shrugs] Give up... My Parents, especially my Mother doesn't seem to understand shit.

   Melodies of Life

I've suddenly been totally revamped with my love for Final Fantasy IX. Behold, one of the best love songs in video game ages... Alone for a while I've been searching through the dark, For traces of the love you left inside my lonely heart, To weave by picking up the pieces that remain, Melodies of life - love's lost refrain. Our paths they did cross, though I cannot say just why. We met, we laughed, we held on fast, and then we said goodbye. And who'll hear the echoes of stories never told? Let them ring out loud till they unfold. In my dearest memories, I see you reaching out to me. Though you're gone, I still believe that you can call out my name. A voice from the past, joining yours and mine. Adding up the layers of harmony. And so it goes, on and on. Melodies of life, To the sky beyond the flying birds - forever and beyond. So far and away, see the birds as it flies by. Gliding through the shadows of the clouds up in the sky. I've laid my memories and dreams upon those wings. Leave them now and see what tomorrow brings. In your dearest memories, do you remember loving me? Was it fate that brought us close and now leaves me behind? A voice from the past, joining yours and mine. Adding up the layers of harmony. And so it goes, on and on. Melodies of life, To the sky beyond the flying bird - forever and on. If I should leave this lonely world behind, Your voice will still remember our melody. Now I know we'll carry on. Melodies of life, Come circle round and grow deep in our hearts, as long as we remember.

   Yeah...

I'm printing out some History homework. Funny thing is, I can't print in black. I need to make the text in color. Odd, isn't it? And I think... I'm in deep shit. I need to get a hold of a camcorder....again. Damn that teacher. I don't see the point as to why we need to record a tour of our house/neighborhood or do a live show. That's...just...pointless to me! Argh. But on a brighter notice, I started writing a Final Fantasy IX fanfic piece. It's sorta like a sequel to it. Kuja is back... Sorry, I like him. Yeah, he looks very feminine and stuff, but you have to admit, his role in the story was rather interesting... One of the most peculiar villains I've come across. And I made a wallpaper, too. I'll try to upload it... Meanwhile, here's a piece of what I have in my story so far: -Prologue- He was lying upon the bed of roots that made up his prison, his body resembling that of a chewed up rag doll. His beautiful silvery hair was strewn out around him, tangled and matted with dirt. His clothes were shredded, the sleeves nothing more than red, soaked tatters. His skin was caked in mud and the roots beneath him were drenched in shiny crimson blood. The once vibrant young sorcerer's eyes were clenched, shut tightly in pain and in grief. Bruises that covered his torso proved as evidence that he was bleeding perpetually inside. From a few feet away, a young man much similar to himself sat, hunched over. Zidane didn't know what to do. His brother was going to die . . . The thought was so painful he just wanted to scream. But that wasn't going to help any. After a moment of silence in which all that could be heard was his brother’s ragged breathing, Zidane crawled over. It was such irony that right next to him was the Angel of Death. And he was dying. Zidane hugged himself miserably, tears pouring silently down his face. “It’s…it’s my entire fault…,” the sorcerer croaked, his eyes opening slowly. They were pale; dead. There was no life left within him. Zidane didn’t reply. He didn’t know what to say. There was the sound of a sharp intake of breath. The older one whimpered and Zidane was suddenly struck by how horrible their end would be. Memories of his brother's former glory (and his own) flooded back upon him, washing his eyes of all their tears. [Flash] I will present you a marvelous display of my power. I am certain you will be most pleased. [/Flash] “Brother?” Zidane whispered, his eyes blurring as he gazed at the inner heart of the Iifa Tree. [Flash] I'm not done telling how to make soulless toys out of the dregs of souls. [/Flash] “I’m so sorry, my Brother…” the blond said, bitterness seeping into his voice. “You… You shouldn’t be the one apologizing. You are not the one to blame.” “No, I am. I should have gotten us out of the Iifa Tree before it sealed itself. I failed . . .” [Flash] Lives come and go all the time. What's the big deal? [/Flash] Zidane felt as if something were ripping his chest out, pulling at his ribcage and trying to break it. There was a pressure building there that he desperately wanted to release. [Flash] The body becomes a vessel, which greets a new soul. [/Flash] “No . . . I don't want a new soul. . .” Zidane whispered He said nothing. He knew what Zidane was thinking. “I want . . . to live . . .” The sorcerer coughed. Zidane could smell the blood. He heard some mumbling. And so he leaned closer to his dying brother, a wave of fresh sadness washing over him. “…Little Brother…” “What…?” “…I want you to...do something for me.” Puzzlement came across the young one’s face. “Live…a good life…” His eyes closed for the final time. “What…?” Zidane asked. And he was suddenly jerked away, by a strong magical force. /No…/ He realized that he was going to be teleported out of the Tree’s prison with the remaining amount of energy the warlock had in him. “Brother!!!” He screamed. It was in vain. Tears poured down his face as the figure of his only relative diminished. -x- Zidane was free. But he felt no joy. He stood, alone outside of the Iifa Tree. A wind picked up and blew. He stared at the many roots that had imprisoned him and his Brother. The roots that became the grave for his Brother. The blond Genome contemplated what to do next. For a moment, he thought that he had no one to return to. But then he remembered the promise he made to Dagger. [Flash] No . . . You're not being selfish. You've done so much for us. If it weren't for you, I probably would've led a meaningless life. With you, I was able to see so much of the world and meet so many people. We faced many hardships, too . . . but . . . I think I finally know what's important. I'm so fortunate to have met you. I'll never forget our trip together. Thank you, Zidane. Promise me one thing . . . Please come back. [/Flash] “I’m coming back, Dagger…” With one last silent goodbye to his Brother, Zidane Tribal turned and headed home. -Chapter 1: Rebirth- A pair of translucent blue eyes opened slowly, welcomed by the never-ending swirling of darkness. He reached out with a pale hand, as if hoping to feel something. But there was nothing. It was the same, as it had been for the last… /Hours? Days? Weeks? Months? …even years…?/ It was a somber thought. Perhaps time did not exist at where he was. If he existed at all, that is… He was floating? No, sitting? Not possible. He didn’t feel any weight beneath him. He didn’t feel anything at all. He just was there, in a void of…nothingness. Pure blackness engulfed him. “Where…am I…? I….I feel so…lost,” his voice echoed aimlessly. His question went unanswered. He wasn’t expecting an answer. He was alone. He had nothing with him. He knew nothing. He wanted to open his mouth, to scream. But he knew that if he tried, it wouldn’t make a difference. He was trapped. Trapped in the world that had consumed him. Trapped in the world that was created just for him. Trapped in the world of emptiness. Of loneliness. Of nonentity. /…was such a fate meant for me…?/ Tears started to prickle at his eyes. /Sorrow…/ That single word flashed through his mind. It was a feeling, he realized. And if he was feeling pain, then that meant… A flash of light surrounded the bewildered young man. Eyes dancing around feverishly for a sign of danger, he raised a hand to block the brightness from his aching eyes. “What’s going on?” he called. His voice trembled slightly. /Fear…/ Something else to feel. The light dimmed slightly. Sight adjusting, he peered around cautiously. Not much seemed to have happened, other than the fact that wherever he was, it was no longer pitch black. A sigh escaped his delicately formed lips. Maybe he was hoping for too much. Should he walk? It was worth the try. He tried moving his legs. They moved. And it tingled a bit, too. He suspected it was because he hadn’t moved in the abyss he was previously in. He took a few steps forward. It wasn’t as if he had a path to follow though. He just moved around. And he felt slightly… /Happy… I’m…alive?/ He couldn’t doubt that as much as he did before. His silvery tail flicked around and wrapped around his ankle. /I can move./ He took in a deep breath. /I’m breathing…/ He focused with little effort, and a ball of energy appeared at the palm of his hand. /And I have my powers restored…/ Lips curled into a smile. This was just wonderful. He spoke aloud. “I’m no longer dead. I, Kuja, am…alive.” He broke into a gale of laughter. He continued to laugh as the world devoured itself.
