   thursday
For some strange reason I'm not dreading class tonight. I mean more then normal. I always dread going to any class, and my Communications one is the one I dreaded the most, but for some odd reason I'm dreading it as if it were History or Algebra. I always forget Anthropology until I have to wake up for it so I didn't inclued it. I don't know why I forget that class. It's three hours long but I just never remember it. And istead of that class I keep thinking I've got another class on Tuesday. I keep thinking I have some sort of Arts or Language so I keep almost walking passed the room. I'm glad it has two doors. I can miss one and pretend I didn't forget and go in the other one. I sit in the middle of the room so it never looks strange. It is very strange though. Tuesdays don't exist in my mind anymore. I really don't get it.
And I go through spurts. Spurts with everything. I think it has something to do with everyone getting sick. It's like my own way of getting sick or something. I'll feel extremely sick but starving. I'll get really hot and then really cold. When I get hungry I eat everything, even if I don't like it. I just hate a whole bag of baked chips, half a large vanilla yogart, a steak, and four oranges. Yeah, it's weird. And then I had stupid spurts and smart spurts. I was in Algebra and suddenly everything made sense when she was writing the problems on the board. She wrote a problem and I automatically knew all three answers. Then we started our own problems and I did the first in under a minute. I did the other six half way through but suddenly couldn't get the answers. It was so weird. And today I couldn't read Italian. The weird thing is that I don't speak Italian but I could always seem to read it, at least enough to know what was going on, and I just couldn't today. I read Taglong the other day too so I have no idea what's going on. I think this is how I get sick. I'm not sleeping anymore either. I got to bed really tired and I wake up not tired, but I swear I wasn't asleep. It didn't feel like I ever went to sleep. Then again, that could come from me battling insomnia. Maybe I finally got rid of it and that's just what really sleeping is like.
Yeah, well, I just feel like if I sleep a lot this weekend everything will just suddenly straighten out. I think that's how colds work.

Epic:
And Epic makes me feel better, or at least it gives me something to do. I wrote some backstory. Still just Zephyr stuff. I added a character to another story that I have, I meaning Blue Swallow Productions, not The Unsaid Works. Yeah, so I added a character to my story, Ethereal Knights (working title). His name is Atticus, Atticus Egami. No, he's not Asian. He's Saxon. Anyway, I think me just thinking about my stuff means I can start working on Inay's backstory or the Hawkers'. I think what is causing the delay isn't me never leaving Zephyr alone, I think it's that I don't want to mix the two styles. I have a different way of looking at things when it's Epic then when it's one of my solo deals. And if I start working on Inay or anyone else I'll come face to face with murder. I want to get it so that you can tell the difference between the two. Epic as an innocence about it that my solo stuff doesn't. I guess it really doesn't matter since backstory is for the creators only. It's funny, Epic's dark but innocent. Speaking of dark...not Dark, but dark, I changed the board and I can't stop giggling insanely at it. One; because Onitane's a dork. Two; because I figured out how to make dark gray and insanely dark gray-blue.

   blahdy blah blah
I think I have Algebra homework due in a few hours but I don't really remember. I think I might have food poisoning. I can't tell because I feel pretty okay except that this one spot on my left just under my stomach feels sick. It doesn't hurt, it's not nausia, it just feels sick. I guess it's kind of hard to explain. It's felt like that for a week at least. And with everyone around me at school hacking on me that's probably it. The other option is an acute appendisitis brought on by stress. I think I'd be dead now if that was it so it's food poisoning. Can you tell my cousin has been calling the house lately? Mother problems. I say, ha, and ha again. Same boat now. The sad thing is that she'll do the same thing to her own daughter. It's a sick cycle. It's my dad's side so I won't get it. My sister might. Maybe you have to be blond to get that 'don't ever leave me' gene. Or it's all midoconral DNA related. Like that thing that's making me snicker right now. That would've looked cooler if I spelt it right.

Epic:
I just can't write on weekdays, unless it's a Friday. It sucks because it's always on my mind. It's how I get through the class lectures. So, some of the things I've been thinking about is how Cealleah must die. The more I think about him the more I realise that we have to go to Zephyr just to get rid of him. And this is part of why I like Kulon. The terrible things that Cealleah did happened when Teseo was born, when Teseo was two, and when Teseo was nineteen. Kulon is the same age as Anastasius so he was born when Teseo was thirty six. Everything that happened when Teseo was born and two had been pretty much forgotten, except for when it came to light when he was nineteen. It was forgotten within the following week. So the things Cealleah did were completely buried and warped, but Kulon, being a nosy brat, pretty much found out certain things and peice it together. So, when Rajan comes knocking on his door in the middle of the night when he's fourteen and asks for help to help out Cealleah, Kulon's all 'no, he sucks and this is why'. His parents think he's a little unusual because of his "wild theory". They're not exactly fond of Cealleah but they don't hate him. Kulon is related to him through marriage. Two of his second cousins are Cealleah's nieces. That's the sister that thinks Cealleah is scum, but it does show some sort of alliance between the du Drake and the ow'Zawsze. Another thing I was thinking about was scenery characters and the idea that we've got going there. The Shirokage just can't have girl members. They just can't being Hogoshain based. So that cuts my original idea for them down by three. Who will fill the void? The terror trio. I'm pretty sure we'll see a little of the Shirokage. After all, Anastasius sort of has their boss wrapped around his scrawnly little neck.

   test
I got a big test in Anthropology in a couple hours. I probably should've opened my text book at some point. I got to stop doing that. Actually, I leave in less then an hour to go to class. I found that if I look at the stuff right before class I forget it all. My brain gets overloaded or something. Anthropology isn't one of those common sense classes either. I didn't do too badly in the review last week so I might be okay. If not then I'll just have to get an 'A' on the next test. No big deal. Man, I'm so bored. And I think I had another weird dream last night. I think it was along the same lines as the last one. Huh, a reoccuring dream where I become royalty. It makes filling out college applications feel really lame. Well, more lame. Watch that I have some nasty chemical leaking into my room and that's why I have these weird dreams. Something must be killing all the fish in my room. And that something could be making me have these strange dreams were I don't want to get out of bed because it's so warm. Or not having heat in my room could be behind that. Three comforters. I'm sort of freezing right now even though I'm next to the heater. We habe one portable plug-in heater for the whole basement. I wake up, turn it on, and sit in front of it until I'm warm enough to move. I'm like a reptile this winter. And it's very snowy out so there are no plows. They're afraid of the snow. It's pathetic. I got in trouble about my cell phone bill. Apparently my parents took away all my minutes and transferred them to my sister's account so I owe them over one hundred dollars. If only you could've seen the look on my mother's face. She told me I owed one hundred sixty dollars. I just sort of shrug and say I got about three hundred in cash so no problem. I don't have to pay now. They only try to make you pay if you don't have it. Haha, but I always have at least one hundred dollars. They didn't know that. And that's it about me.

Epic:
Did no backstory at all. Maybe later today. I really need to get to work on my other characters and leave Zephyr alone. I like the Merridam. They're so mysterious. They're a large and wealthy family and you can't have anything to do with falconry without it somehow coming back to them. All the Hawkers were taught by them and one or two members are from the family. Borkai del Ignis is actually with them currently for training. His father's not too happy about that. Run off to play with birds before he even finished school. Adellenine taught herself how to handle Sallya but she stole her from the Merridam. They're one of those way far background things in Epic that I'm attached to.

   bored
They need a smily that shows how bored I am. This would be a weekly or even monthly blog if I wasn't so bored. Which is why I post on weekdays. So...there's not really anything going on. I have to fill out college forms. I don't really want to go, it's so boring, but there really isn't a way around that. Someday I'll get into a class that will actually challenge me. I don't think that's ever happened, at least not with anything useful. Photography was challenging but I think a lot of that was because the prof. was some sort of drug addict. I don't need Photography in life so it doesn't really count. I like the song that just started. I never actually listened to the lyrics of this song. What a creepy little song. Dream Police, weird. Oh, yeah, my cousin was complaining to my mom yesterday. She's almost done with college, I think, or something. But she and her boyfriend are looking for houses in I think the Carolinas, or maybe a little more north. But her mom was saying that after she gets moved in she wants her to check the area for a house she and her husband can buy so that they can live near each other. So really it's just my dad's side is totally nuts and can't let go. I'm having the same problem and I'm relieved to know that she is too. That's karma for you though. She yelled at me for trying to get away and never telling my parents where I plan on moving to and now she knows exactly what it's like. She's got her boyfriend in the mix which doesn't help her and I don't have a job which doesn't help me. We're pretty even on this. Nice to be even.

Epic:
Just writting backstory. Run Runaway by Slade just started. I love this song. I came up with a clippet last night when I was wandering around in a sleep deprived way. I don't know the time or why I was sleep deprived. I'm pretty sure I've been sleeping. Oh, I had an awesome dream last night! That doesn't go here though. I think it came from laughing myself to sleep about the clippet, which is only funny if you know the characters. A reminder about clippets, they're not part of the story in anyway unless it states otherwise. So, here's a clippet:

Ai, Nayeli, and Anastasius sitting in some far off woods in the middle of nowhere.
Ai: Know something I don't understand? Girls. I really thought I got them as well as any guy possibly could, but I really don't. If she likes you and you like her then shouldn't you just accept that instead of deny it?
Nayeli: Do you know what would happen to your reputation? I don't want to be the damaging factor.
Ai: Look, Nayeli, you're not too good for me.
Anastasius: (starts snickering)
Nayeli: Well, I'm glad you agree with me but I'm still kind of insulted. I guess girls really are complicated. (gets up and leaves)
Ai: What's she talking about?
Anastasius: (falls over laughing)
Ai: Am I missing something?
Anastasius: You sort of said you were too good for her. Oh man, that was priceless.
Ai: (gets up and runs off) Nayeli, wait! I mixed up the words!
Anastasius: I love being the third wheel.

Like I said, it's only funny if you know the characters. Easy to see that Ai likes Nayeli and she likes him but it ends there. Ai and Anastasius are cousins and we won't get into why Nayeli would ruin Ai's goodish name.

This is Ayden du Drake. That's not her last name anymore because she's married now, but she is still very much a du Drake daughter. She's Cealleah's granddaughter, probably his oldest grandchild, and she's one of his favorites. She's pretty cruel but since she's got little kids she doesn't do anything. She's still intelligent and manipulative. She's the person her brother, Rajan, came to when he was attempting the coup. She has black hair and light gray eyes. She's twenty eight and her husband's name is Dracen. Her name means 'little fire' so her birth name was 'little fire of the dragon'.

   just thursday
I woke up and revised my stupid paper. Well, I woke up wrote and watched TV for a few hours and then did my paper. I see a bad grade in the future. I just need a 'C' in this class. I say that with all my classes but mostly this one. It'd be nice to get an 'A' in Anthropology to match the one I recieved in Sociology. And after so much Algebra it'd be nice to get a 'B'. History, eh, just want to pass. I hate English classes though. I think I hate...I know I hate them more then mathematics. I don't mind the lectures. They're pointless and kind of strange, but I hate papers. What I hate is the 'like your style' remark as they hand you a 'C' or 'D' result. That's what I got with poetry last semester. I wrote a poem about Mica and Beryl, got an 'F' and a comment like 'I really enjoyed this it was well written'. Why the heck did I get an 'F' then! Oh well, it won't matter, it never does. We talked about metaphore in class because we have to analize a poem now. Now, this class puts me in such a difficult position. He talks, I remember. I remember everything, that's why I don't have to take notes in any of my classes. I trained myself to remember what the profs. were saying. So he talks, no one says anything. He thinks the class is full of morons. It might be, but I'm not a moron. So I wait for someone to say something. If no one does and he hasn't started talking then I'll say it. He usually starts talking almost right a way but today he wasn't doing that. I don't want to talk in class. I'm not the type of person a prof. wants to rely on. They are my enemy and have been since kindergarder. That's just how it is with me. So, I won't talk much but when he's saying the same thing over and over and no one is saying anything it drives me crazy. I talked in this class, twice. First time I was a little snippy. He thought it was funny that I didn't stumble over what the idea was and just said the idea. It kind of made him skip a few minutes of talking. The second he asked who didn't like poetry and I flipped my hand so he asked me why. Truthfully, I don't really know, I just don't. The epic poems like The Odessy, fine, it's long so I forget it's a poem. The Raven I like, but everything else just seems really lame. I just don't like it and I'm stubborn about not liking it. It's useless in real life so I don't have to change my thoughts on it. Oh but going back to metaphores, he used 'that man is a pig' and 'that woman is a cow' and then said he wasn't sure where those came from. Ha, but I do. I had to bite my tongue because I almost told him but then we would've been there longer. What is the representory animal of gula? A pig. When people think of that sin they think man. What is the representory animal of luxuria? A cow. And when people think of that sin they think woman. I almost said it that way too. I almost said 'it goes to the sins gula and luxuria, gula is pig and luxuria is cow' but if I said that I would've looked so crazy. People know those as gulttony and lust, not gula and luxuria. I use the Latin because I like it better. I feel that it takes away from the actual word and focuses on the idea of the sin. something like that. I'm sort of tired. It's snowing a lot and really pretty. I actually laughed at the people around me freaking out about the snow and telling their stories of how they crashed their cars into poles this week alone. They gave me a pretty dirty look but to prove a point I drove out of the parking lot at about forty when they were all crawling and almost running into each other. I drove home at fifty, no problems. The only thing you have to watch for is the stop signs, but mostly because they don't stop for stop signs here. And they wonder about their accident rate.

Epic:
So, most of my day was typing up more Zephyr backstory. I really need to leave Zephyr alone and work on someone. Today I wrote some with Rajan when he was still a jerk, Duscha, and Borkai. Duscha beat the snot out of Rajan so now she's got to go to prison for ten days unless Borkai's family can prove Rajan provoked her. So Borkai's going to run around threatening Rajan and Sokanon until one of them cracks and tells the truth. Let's see, Duscha's twelve, Rajan and Borkai are thirteen, and Sokanon is sixteen. Duscha can usually handle herself, but she's sort of in over her head right now. The moral is; if you're going to hit a young lord who hates you and your family, make sure you have another witness that's not on his side.

   still bored
I even stayed in bed until 9:30 and I still have a morning boredom post. It wasn't really 9:30 but it was around there. My clock is between fifteen to thirty minutes fast. That way when I'm really tired I think I'm getting up later. So far I've been really tired but still remember my clock's fast. I usually set the alarm and throw it somewhere in my room so that I can't find it in the morning and have to get up. That doesn't work so well anymore. I know it can only go so far so I just find the cord and pull it up to turn it off. My stomach is getting a lot stronger from that. It's been too cold for me to exercise in anyway. And I have to drive all week so I can't wear my weights. I'm doing a lot of walking this summer so it's fine. We can walk to the swings, then I can walk back to the house, and drive to the swings to pick them up. And I can wear my weights. I wore them so much that they started breaking.
Well, yesterday we talked a little about politics in Anthropology. Well, they talked. I stay out of that. I'm sort of an Anarchist at this point. We're getting attacked either later this year or early next year. That's a given. America isn't America anymore and it hasn't been for a while. It makes me sad. There was one girl talking about the armed forces and how people joined just to get money. I found that kind of insulting. According to her reasoning, people are going out and getting killed because they want some money. If they die they'll never see it but I guess she didn't think about that. I tried enlisting and money was the last thing on my mind. I was only fifteen/sixteen but even now money is the last thing on my mind when I think about joining. And the guy trained in carrying a concealed weapon was talking about how he's part of this commitee group thing trying to change the laws so people trained in carrying a weapon can carry them on campus. And people flipped out on him. I agree with him, but everyone was just 'oh, but that makes it easier'. Wrong. If you're going to kill people you'll take the fast way to get a gun. You're not going to go through extensive background checks by the FBI or a long training program. I'm getting a gun and I'm getting training for concealed weapon once I turn twenty one. Hopefully I'll be allowed to carry it on campus, especially since one of the schools I'm applying to is Southern Illinois. If Northern Illinois was hit then Southern Illinios could be too.
I'll have to update this later. I'm going to be late for Algebra. I have to leave early because people are freaking out over the three inches of snow. They're driving twenty or going off the road. UPDATE: Yeah, so I was right, they were freaking out. My mother had to drive to the vet's this morning. It's an hour away but it took her three hours. She saw at least ten cars off the road. And when I left the news said we had seventy two accidents in just this morning. I didn't have any problems driving. You should see them trying not to walk in the snow. It's not a lot of snow. My feet are soaked but it's not like that's going to kill me.

Epic:
Sam, look at the Dancer comments. I had fun with it. And this part will be filled in later. UPDATE: I'm not sure what to put here. I always have to mention Epic as part of Epic Awareness. Still working on backstory. I heard Hells Bells today and really wanted to write Dice. Maybe that means I can start writing Inay. Or even the Hawkers. Or even Adellenine. I was supposed to write her down five/six months ago. I could always try the twins but I know virtually nothing about them. I forget their last names and their birthday. And pretty much everything. Except what happens to them and that Aurora was a bar-maid. I'm actually really fond of the twins. They're just really under-rated because I don't pay any attention to them. And now I have a question. Does anyone know what that light blue smily is doing? Is it yawning? Or singing? It's just really strange. I don't get it. What emotion is it supposed to be? Is it dead? Drunk? Something's wrong with it. That's why the one below it is freaking out, the one to it's right is confused, and the one to it's left is unhappy.

   just bored
It's funny, I get bored waiting to leave for class, where I'll still be bored, so then I post to bore everyone else. I can get these things pretty long but they never have meaning. That's journalism.

Epic:
I was reading clippets and one of those is sort of a couply one. So just in these last few seconds I was thinking of couples. We don't really have them. All of our couples are married. The ones that aren't are one-sided jokes or they like each other but they're not saying anything about it because it's just the wrong time. Usually I find that annoying but they've got the right idea on this one. There's a possessed saint running around. That's the worst time to start up a relationship. That's like going to war and getting engaged when you're under fire. It's just a bad idea. They can wait. They're young. The characters, I finished with the analogy. I think the most romance we have is the one-sided joke and that's not incredbly romantic. He thinks that girls like being randomly attacked. It proves you're strong and manly. The whole be nice and give flowers goes right over his little blue head. Or collides with it. He's pretty tall. He rational is that his sisters obviously care about him and thy're mean to him. So he thinks that when a girl is nice they're not interested. His partner is hard on him and she cares. His friend is nice to him and he knows she doesn't like him that way. He's just confused on romance at the moment and he doesn't have anyone who can teach him. His father's dead. His brother's too shy. His cousin's apparently got 'drool over me' genes of steel that he's not going to loan him. And he's a little freaked out by the girl he's chasing's brother. I'm going to be late for Anthropology so I'm finished.

   warning, long post
I've got Algebra today but I'm not going. I keep watching the clock like I am, but I'm not. I'm so tired and I feel sort of sick. The b**ch in Communications that sits next to me was sick. She threw up. I can't throw up. I refuse to throw up. I end up curled up in a ball feeling awful for about a day instead. I don't know what the problem is with this Communications class, but they're all horrible people. Except the Chinese lady who doesn't speak english very well. She seems nice. But everyone else is still complaining about missing two weeks of class. And the gas prices. And they just don't like the prof. I don't like him either. I have no idea what the heck I'm supposed to be doing. And I'd rather not go to that class at all. But for crying out loud, his mother died. And they he got really sick. They skip if they're sick. Yeah, it was lousy of him not to tell us so we all drove there and waiting for half an hour before leaveing. Yes, that was lame, but seriously, the oter time he did show up and had to leave because his mother was dying. And they complained. I'm not a descent human being but I feel like a saint among these people. Okay, and that's my rant about class and in there somewhere is why I'm not going to show up for Algebra today. I wish my cat wouldn't shed. I just pulled a two inch cat hair out of my eye, again. I'm so glad I'm not alergic. And now I grossed everyone out. She doesn't go in myroom so I don't know where they come from. Oh, and this isgoing to be a long and meaningless post because I'm trying to keep myself busy so I don't suddenly go to Algebra. I'm not going. I don't want to sit there and go through review again. I hate the catch-up days. The class moves so slow. I have a story from Anthropology before I finish this section. We start the class with stories and this guy, he's a gambler for a living, had a good one. He was coming out of Taco Bell with his friends and this kid tries to mug them at knife point. Well, this guy in my class has a licence to carry a concealed weapon (which I'm getting one too) and he had his gun on him. So the mugger's all 'give me your wallets' and the guy in my class moves back his coat to show him he had a gun. And the mugger dropped the knife and took off. End of class stuff for sure.

My neck is always cold now. I really miss my hair. It's been nearly a week and i'm still not used to it. I still freak out when I look in the mirror, which I do twice a day at the very least. For eyeball reasons, not vanity. I was vain about my hair and it's gone. People made such a fuss over it that I was thinking if I didn't donate it for cancer kids then I bet I could've auctioned it for profit. I think I need the extra good points so donation it is. I've got infinate good points for raising orphaned and abandonned sick and dying kittens, but you always need a back up plan. And I've got a small story. It's not about hair. I took a pill for my skin in the morning, and then took it again before I went out to dinner. It says twice a day in a bright red label. Well, I forgot I took it before dinner so I came home and took another. I ralised I took too much as I swallowed it. I stayed up half the night to make sure it was okay. I have no idea what this stuff does if you take too much. But my stomach started feeling really weird. I didn't know if it was the medicine or me thinking too much about it. And I was so tired. I wanted to go to sleep so I had to neutralize it. Neutralizing what could be a minor poison is not fun. It was a long Saturday night. I neutralized the potential poison and then went to sleep. I think I dreamed really weird and gruesome things that I don't remember currently. Yeah, so, now I'm a lot more careful about remembering. It wasn't fun. I don't know how people can think pills are fun. And I have to take my bulldog to her eye appointment today. Yes, my dog has an eye doctor. Purebreeds.

I've got to finish filling out the application I have to Southern Illinois University. I'm so lost. I wish I were just applying out of high school, but no, I had to go to college first and screw everything up. I've got to get it mailed soon and then apply for a few more. If I refuse to go to college here then my parents can't dump my sister on me. I don't want to live alone with my sister for a year. She's loud and wears too much perfume. If they want us to be close then they should leave us alone. The less we speak and less we see the closer we are. It just works that way. They have this idea that if we're close she'll tell me stuff and I'll tell them, but that's not true. I wouldn't tell them anything. And what's it matter? She and my mother are close. She tells my mother everything so I don't see why I have to be involved. I'm not being her babysitter for a year. Nope, I've got my own life to deal with. This may sound cruel, but I'm tired of putting my life off to help others. I just want the chance at a life. I don't think that's asking a whole lot. I meant to ask Jess if she got a Valentine. Funny how the life thing made me remember that she had a boyfriend type guy a little while back.

Mirror Image:
I haven't touched it since Thanksgiving and it's starting to feel a little weird. I just can't bring myself to type it on my laptop. I've been thinking about all the early stuff that was lost a lot lately. I think because I'm comparing how innocent Epic is. Luke was a cold blooded killer at fourteen. He killed at thirteen but that was self defense. Anastasius is seventeen and a ninja and he's never killed. I was comparing the dead thing too. In Mirror Image if a person dies I'll show it in gruesome detail and through that person's eyes, unless it's more effective to show it through the eyes of someone else. And they're usually dead unless I see the opportunity for great conflict if the person was still alive in some form. I killed a great hero but saw more conflict if Luke found her alive after thinking she was dead for nearly fifteen years. I killed a doctor and kept him dead. It would've been too much if I brought him back. I liked him. It was painful enough when he died. He and Luke had been best friends for twenty/twenty one years. And how he died was horrible. I still feel bad about that.

Epic:
But in Epic it's not like that. If they're dead then they're dead. I was thinking about that when I was comparing the two. I was thinking about when Shadi and Chik died. Ai was the one that identified them. If I look at this as I would Mirror Image, then they're still alive. I can say that he was six and in horrible shock so he mis-Id'd them. I can say that they had amnesia for a couple years because of the freezing water and then thought that it'd be too much to go back after being declared dead. Looking at it as what it is, they're dead. Ai was six so he didn't even understand death until he had to ID his parents. And even then he was still shaky on it. I was trying to find a clip I could put up but I couldn't find one that I could simplify enough. And since Algebra just started that's the end of this. Sleep and more backstory work.

   tired
I'm tired and bored but I want to watch some TV before bed. So, I don't know why I'm posting. Weird. I guess I'm just used to posting. I heard Golden Earring's Twilight Zone today and I starting thinking about Maggie. I think it fits Branch or Dice better but I have a fondness for little Magpie. Before I discoved I absolutely could not draw a comic strip, I was going to do a little manga thing with him to introduce him before writing the story that he's in. So, I got a little Maggie clippet where Maggie meets the bully of Pied Piper Academy, Tyson Williams:

Tyson: Hey, new kid.
Mag: My name is Maggie, or Mag, either work. Do you want something?
Tyson: Huh?
Mag: Well...you called me so I though maybe you wanted something. It's okay if you forgot. I have slow days too.
Tyson: Dude, I'm going to beat your face in.
Mag: sigh If you really have to. I wish you didn't though. I'm starting to like my face. Just this morning I stared at it for two whole minutes. I'm not saying it's the best face, but it's doing good for me. Do you know what I mean?
Tyson: stares stupidly, punches Mag
Mag: I guess not. Thanks for hitting me in the arm though.
Tyson: Dude, you're so weird.

Epic:
And Shadi's song started plying while I was typing that so I almost typed in Shadi instead of Mag. That would've been really weird. i enjoy Shadi and Maggie both, but I don't want to ever see them together. They're too different and I just see bad things happening. That's why Shadi's owned my The Unsaid Works and Maggie's owned by Blue Swallow Productions. I actually looked over the part of Teseo's life that included Shadi in great detail while trying to figure out the english used on the stupid college application. That was much sadder then I thought it was. The first four times I went through it the only part I felt was sad was the last conversation between the two brothers, mostly because they never see each other again after that. I don't know, I also knew that it was going to be sad becaused in the show Shadi's been dead for twelve years and Teseo's been dead for eight. Their stories are more of the country's history. I wrote some of the history today through the mouth of a professor at the Academy. It's good to have copies. And I looked at the attemped coup again. Cealleah needs to go. And Kulon's great. He needs to become a professor or something when he grows up.
