   superbowl
It's finally Superbowl Sunday. I hate both teams but I'm going for the Patriots. I want to see history. I'd like it if they got beat but I don't want it to be Giants. I don't know, it would be wrong somehow. I wish they could both lose. I like Eli better then Tom because Tom seems so smug it's disgusting. I can't explain it. This is the trouble with not liking either team and routing for the one you find to be disgustingly arrogant. They're cheaters. They're not in Eagle's division so maybe that's why them over Giants. I want 7-3. I want the score close and really low. And I wouldn't mind if the game was boring. People watch for the commercials and halftime show anyway. Tom Petty's preforming. They're touring again. I should've changed my site song to Freefalling or something, but this one won't stop playing and it's funny.

Epic:
I decided that I finished Caleb's backstory. That's also the reason for the change in music. It's short, only eight thousand three hundred twenty seven words. That's only nineteen pages. I could've gone a little further but all that would happen is him sneaking around a ship and then getting off. I ended it on his fifteenth birthday. He didn't know it was his fifteenth birthday but Inay found him. So, Caleb and Keoki (the dog) stole away on a ship to get away. It'll take a lot more then that to get rid of Inay, as they'll find out in Epic.
And I'll be done with Zhek's backstory soon too. I can't write during the week so maybe next weekend. I got him up to the point were he meets someone called Onitane. The next three, almost four years, will be a colorful haze. And I had an idea regarding my demon worshiping samurai. And that's it.

EDIT: Okay, don't tell other Eagle fans, but I'm so glad the Giants won. I can't help it, I just hate the Patriots so much more. And Payton and Eli being all brotherly and happy is just so cute.

   so very early
Well, anyone want to guess the time here? 5:45. I got up early for two reasons. First, to see if my school was out. I forgot that it's incompetiant though. Second, make up some random junk for my oral report on the Onodaga. I got two books out of the needed four and they've got one tiny chapter on them each. I've got other stuff to say so I'll update this in a later hour.

EDIT: I'm trying to get my scrap notes with Kuri Ketsuenhi's eye up. I'll edit this again if they take it.

Well, History was annoying. I had to go first. Saying I lived near the Nation and adding I was part Cherokee helped. She seemed interested. She asked if I was part. I don't use that as a fall back. I'm only one sixteenth. And in Algebra she surprised us with 'I'm going to collect all the homework you should've been doing' and then made us do homework during class. I got everything but one done and all without a calculator. She seemed impressed. Really, this is the third time I've gone through this section. I tend to drift off and sleep with my eyes open during Algebra. But I did draw more Kuri eyes during History notes. He has pretty eyes. Him, Koji, Zhek, Haruki, Aleksei, and Ai are the only ones I could draw during class because I only have a pencil. Kuri just seems to be the only one I draw though. Wen I was writing stuff on the white board and drawing out symbols, I looked at my pathetic little eagle and said 'I really wish I could draw'. The students loved that though. students, wow, I sounded like a prof. But then I went back and drew Kuri eyes. Lately I've wanted to draw Kuri and Maerens. Maerens isn't an Epic character. I'm not even sue what he looks like fully but something about him intregues me. Oh, and yesterday I found out that I'm an exceptional read of character. I never liked the girl that sits next to me in Communications. I don't know her, but I just didn't like her. I tried being nice but I still didn't like her. Well, our prof. was ten minutes late. And she's just sighing and stuff. He comes in and apologized and sounds really sick. But then the reason his voice was messed up was because he just got a phone call saying his mother was about to die. He didn't say mother, but I could tell it was mother. And he said she as everyone was leaving to confirm, but that's not the point. So, he says he can't stay and he's sorry, but if someone really wants him to stay for three hours he will. The girl next to me says 'I drove forty five minutes for five minutes of class' and leaves. I drove half an hour and the first thing that I thought of when he asked if we wanted class was 'no, I want to go home' not 'no, you family needs you' and I'm still a better person then her. People don't humanize people anymore, and when they do they do it at the wrong times and for the wrong reasons.

   change
I decided to change up my site for a little bit. I love my old layout so I'll go back to it later. The new layout is more envolved with my screen name. The color sceme is most the sins I have written up in my profile. Gray boarders for Melancholy. Pink active link thing for Apathy. And light green for the eighth sin, Vainglory. Orange for Gluttony, violet for Pride, red for Wrath, and light blue (behind dogs) for Sloth. Blue word music link thing for Lust and yellow boarder for my music for Greed. I couldn't fit Envy in for colors so I went with the representory animal, the dog. It's a Rhodisian ridgeback, probably my favorite of the hounds. My life style hasn't allowed me to own one yet. So, that explains my change of colors and background. The sins have such bright and happy colors. Well, except Melancholy. And their animals are cool. Pride is horse, Envy is dog, Greed is frog, Gluttony is pig, Apathy is snake, Melancholy is crow, Lust is cow, Wrath is bear, Sloth is goat, and Vainglory is cat. I use a tiger because it's a cat that I like.

Epic: I got the kill counts. Inay has gotten me creeped out, again. I knew he killed, but I didn't think that much. Adds to his idea that he's insane. It makes some sense. He was on his own since he was twelve. Before that, but he left the country when he was twelve.
I'm supposed to be asleep right now but I was finishing a few pages of Zhek's backstory. Things really move when you're supposed to be studying for a History test and researching for a History oral report. And Renegade just started. More code...or is it I just like the song? I'm just kidding.

Well, I'm starving and tired. I'll leave this here. Good morning/night to everyone.

   so tired
This state is so poorly prepared for weather. We just had high winds last night, some tornados in the southern counties, and maybe some heavy thunder storms. The power was going off and on all night. When the power goes off the soft water thingy next to my bedroom screechs at this really high octave that'll make you cringe. And then the smoke alarms are all starting to die so they kept going off. I was really hoping for the wind to knock out the power at the college after last night. It's only Algebra today so it's short and I get to sleep in tomorrow, so it's not too bad. I might be endanger of laughing hysterically at nothing though. I can't believe I did that last semester. I was exhausted during Biology, I had really really bad insomnia, and he was talking about cancer. I started laughing. It wasn't too loud but I think the guys at my lab table heard me. I'll have to go eat some form of protien to wake myself up more and get energy. Probably egg, I hate egg.

And Epic. The only thing that worked last night was my laptop so I typed a couple pages of Zhek's backstory. I like Zhek. He went from a spoiled bratty brother to responcible like that. Marrying a fifteen year old girl that can kill you will change you. I think they're the only couple we have that was like that. I think our other married people were older teens at the very youngest. Like eighteen, nineteen. Or maybe all of them are in their twenties. The only ones I know about for sure are my characters and their parents. Everyone but Cealleah and Arlais were in their twenties. They were eighteen. I guess if I count people who died over a hundred years ago there's Ogen and Eira. They were seventeen and sixteen and they could've been married for awhile before they founded Zephyr. One of those things that happened before there was a Zephyr so it doesn't matter. And I had a tiny dream that Sam named Trini's country. It was this awesome looking word that I forgot how it was spelled and I don't think I could say it. It was totally made up I'm sure but when I asked what it meant she said 'puppy', and I found that very odd. Ever odder was she wrote 'puppy' and then it morphed into the word. She was about to name Dancer and Mizlon's country when my alarm went off. And it looked like we split a few countries into smaller sized because we had more names on the midle continent. There was two that looked the same except one had and added 'e' at the end with a '`' over it. And One of them, either Jess or Bobby, pointed to the other and said something about Ai's grandparents and I said they were from the fancier one. And the map was huge. We were all kneeling on it tracing routes out with our fingers. All that between naming Trini's country 'puppy' and moving on to Dancer's and Mizlon's. We were going by continent. I want to make a bigger map when I go back to Unsaid. We can put it on stiff poster board and tack it up. Complete with a Guardian boarder and the demon side. And the other ice cap. It's very tiny and on the demon side. Our world has climate problems.

   so bored
Um, my oral report on the Onodaga is due this Friday. I probably mentioned that already. I'll have to go find four books today for sources. I think I'll do okay just because the Onodaga lived about half an hour away from us. As long as I meantion that then I'll be fine. She eats that up. And I forgot what was going on with Communications. It's almost like having Philosophy again so I don't take notes and just sort of tune out. I ate cookies in Anthropology today. And something was going on with language but I was eating cookies so I wasn't listening. I've got to stop that.
Oh, but I made a huge important decision today. It's really big. I'm cutting my hair, short, like slightly above my shoulders. It's very life changing. And sarcasim doesn't show up well in type. I put this special oil in my hair, just on the ends, because it's supposed to help split ends and my hair was really splitting. I can't get it out. I'll try again, but I'm just really sick of it right now. It's all heavy and oily. I think I just need to start fresh. It's so long though...but hair is hair and my hair is so awesome that it's great at any length.

Epic news.... Um, still just working on backstory. I'm trying to find a time when I can call Unsaid but it's not all that easy. I have class everyday. Bobby has classes all day Tuesday and Thursday. And Jess is going to get a job. During the week I can call maybe Monday and Wensday after Algebra. Not too much time on those days. Friday is the best work day we have. I'm dead tired but once talk picks up it works out good. Saturday wouldn't be too bad except that everyone's tired from staying up all Friday. And my house is full and I can't talk about stuff at home. I'm the smartest person in the family, but I'm seen as an idiot because I'm a dreamer. It sucks, but lots of other people have way worse so I don't worry about it. Moving out this summer or this fall, finally.
So, I put Caleb's backstory on hold for the moment. I swear that when he enters Epic he has no kill count. I just keep think, fifteen, no way has he committed murder. But then I think, well maybe, just because people are not going to be very friendly to him. If he was pushed enough so that his life was endangered he'd do it. I'll get a figure from HQ later. I've been working on Zhek's. I just wanted to write the possession from his veiw. he was a little bit put off when he found out the girl he paid a huge dowry for was fifteen. Haruki had to explain the Hogosha culture to him and stuff. Stupid culture stuff, it's so annoying.

And now that I've wasted enough time, I've got to go find those books for History. My poor hair. Have a great day.

   random junky
I don't know why but just recently, like two days ago, I just feel like writing backstory. I think it has something to do with my oral report on the Onodaga this Friday that I haven't started on. I seem to want to write when I have school. I don't really enjoy writing either. It's just a way to put off class work until the last second. Which isn't the case with my Anthropology work. I did that yesterday. It was weird, I've never done homework since starting college, let alone on a weekend. If I keep doing work on Sundays then I'll be done with college really soon. Which is great because I should've been done already.

Well, the backstories I have right now are Caleb's and Zhek's. Zhek's is going to be pretty easy. I started it when he leaves for Hogosha. Most of it he'll be possessed so he'll just be fading in and out. Never done that from that point of veiw. I've written Luke (Mirror Image) in the daze possession type deal but you always saw that from someone else's eyes.

My cat just tried eatting my History work. I don't know what's up with her lately. Now she's carrying my headphones in her mouth. Great. Now she's trying to attack the keyboard while chewing the laptop wire. I need to rent a terrier or a ferret for her to play with for an hour. My dogs can't play with her anymore. Two of them are old and she's too rough, and the other can switch from play to kill in a heartbeat. She's a little scared of the cat too. Yesterday my old dog, Milleficent, was downstairs with me. She's getting clingy since she's eleven now. She was laying there and the cat came over and laid down with her. It looked like the cat was licking her ear so my first thought was 'aawww', but then the cat started jumping on her ear and batting it around. The poor old dog just whined for me to get the cat away. She's not even a kitten, she's almost five. And this is unbelievebly off topic from backstories.

So, I'm at the point in Caleb's background when he's put on a raft and kicked out to sea. I started his when he was fourteen, turning fifteen since all the really early stuff would be in Inay's backstory. Caleb should really thank Inay. Without him he'd never know the exact day his birthday was. I came up with Inay's hair style at last too. We carved out rough ideas of hair, eye, and skin colors on SC3 to see the closest thing to what our characters would look like. They've got bad hair in there. Inay's still got nearly shoulder length brown hair but it doesn't look stupid like it was in the rough image. And Caleb's isn't as long. He had short hair until he was banished. You know, if Rixarians weren't cruel and nuts they'd be pretty. They just see to...radiate. Really creepy when they're mad though. Our eyes shine when we get angry but because of the skin, hair, and eye colors the Rixarians have, their eyes look like they're glowing. Inay might look scarier because his eyes are a goldish orange color and then his skin is a litle lighter and he's got dark hair. Natural shadows and reflections from his skin and hair, added with anger and eye color would make them look blazing. Caleb would probably look more like he was glowing all together in the right light.

And I was connecting characters early this morning. Just having Charisma (Sam's character) as Zhek's tutor, or just piano tutor, connects him to Devote (Sam's character) and her to Aurelius, Koji, Nayeli, and the von Bavol. And Haruki and Kuri on a much lesser note. And connecting her with the von Bavol also connects her to Eliak (Sam's character), Porqe (Meg's character), Adellenine, Wheeler (Sam's character), The Hawkers, the twins, the Cartels (Bobby's characters)...and that's all I can think of right now. My food's finally done so I don't have to pretend I've got things to talk about anymore.

   Rixari stuff
Just random little bits about Caleb and Inay. Mostly Inay. I'm working on Caleb's backstory right now since I'm trying to avoid my homework in Anthropology. I should just do it. It won't take long and it's only supposed to be a page long about the movie we saw in class Tuesday, but I just can seem to bring myself to go look at the movie again or get my stuff from upstairs.

Anyway, for some reason, probably because Inay seriously loathes Rixari and Rixarians, I never gave his parents names. For family on his character sheet, it just says he has a sister named Strawberry. Strawberry and Inay are ten years a part. She's twelve and he's twenty two. So when Inay was ten years old he was shunned. He didn't leave Rixari until Caleb was five, so he was twelve when he left the island and convinced himself he was insane. I always thought he was older when he left but he can't be. Kalevi (Caleb's brother) is ten and Inay left before he was born. That's why he's so fixated on Caleb. If he stayed on the island anothr month or two he would've seen how shunned and hated Caleb was and would leave him alone. Maybe not though. Unlike Caleb, Inay believes in the Fire God (living sun) but he just thinks it hates him for being a half and half. He thinks Caleb's the Fire God and that he's lying to test the Rixarians. Caleb thinks believing in a Fire God is stupid. He says that if there was a Fire God they wouldn't have the need for water or air to survive, they would just need fire. So, the problem both of them have is thinking in some sort of way. Caleb thinks there's more and Inay thinks it's a test.

Well, the kara Masou family is the Chiefs and Chieftesses of Rixari. Funny thing is, they used to be extremely poor hundreds of years ago. The only people with any power in Rixari was the de la Requiem, the family of preists, preistesses and necromacers. They were the only ones with a last name too, but then the prophocy was made and the poor little family was suddenly special and wealthy. They became the kara Masou. So the two powerhouses waited around a couple hundred years for Caleb to be born.
The de la Requiem still have more power then the kara Masou. Right now there is Thaddeus de la Requiem, the priest. His father was a necromancer. Ew. And there's Fola de la Requiem, the priestess. She married in. Then you have Inay de la Requiem, the high-priest. He was shunned and then ran off, but he's still a high-priest. And last is Strawberry de la Requiem, the high-priestess. She's still roaming around Rixari as high-priestess. Inay and Strawberry are elevated because Inay was supposed to be Caleb's personal priest, but then he wasn't special. Kalevi was believed to be special so Strawberry became his personal priestess when he was about two. So she was about four, much later then when Inay was appointed Caleb's priest. He was born Caleb's priest because of the stupid prophocy. That's Inay's family. Well, Fola isn't his mother but she took care of him like he was hers until he was ten. Rixarians have perfection issues or something. I'm not a big fan of them. Caleb's parents pretty much stopped paying attention to him when he was five. They kicked him out of the house when he was eleven and haven't used his name since he was five. Rixarians as a whole are very messed up people. There are a few younger ones that are starting to think that things are weird but they won't say anything after seeing how badly everyone reactted to Caleb. They tried to hang him. He managed to scare them so bad though that they banished him instead.

And I was wondering how Caleb would meet up with Flair and Keoki. The closest thing to him is Sogna. He could drift just enough to be picked up by one of their fishing ships. Then he could meet Giuseppe and get a ride with him to the middle continent since he'd be going there to open opera houses. Just an idea. At least I don't have to worry about Caleb and Inay finding each other. Caleb can run all he wants but he'll never get rid of Inay.

   work
I'm exhausted, bored, sort of hungry, and very pleased. I think I explain the faces just to get my posts a little longer.
Woke up around 5:00 but rolled around in my mountian of sheets for maybe and hour fifteen. It was one of those half asleep things. I was fighting my blankets. No matter how much I kick them they seem to crawl up around my mouth.
I left at 8:00 to get to my 8:30 History class. Two things really bug me about living here. One, I live twenty mintues from my school, half an hour if it's rush hour. Bad weather does nothing to slow me. Two, they think they're southerners so ever building is insolated really lousy. It's never really cold, it was about twelve degrees today, maybe six this morning, but the wind chill is horrible. And it's flat with no trees so nothing to break it. And the classrooms seem colder. It is just annoying.
Yep, so I had History from 8:30 to 11:00. Supposed to be 11:20 and I wish it was just so I wasn't walking twenty feet over and over waiting for Algebra at 11:30. This is my big long day and it ends close to 13:00. I don't count it over until I've eatten. It's less time getting back because I'm doing fifty in all zones. No cops here between noon and 13:00, they're all on break.
I don't take notes. If I write something down then I forget it because it's written down. That's not helpful when you scribble and abriviate everything to keep up with the droning of a prof. So what I did all History was draw an eye. I sit in the back on the end so I'm near the door, so she thought I was taking notes. I'm very proud of this eye. It's like this pretty almond feline shaped thing. And I tried shading and stuff. I decided it was a boy's eye but I couldn't think of any characters of mine that had black hair and really dark eyes. I wanted to get them black but my pencil wouldn't let me. Too much faux lead on the spot or something. Thinking of Epic only lately, I was trying to think of an epic character. The only one I came up with was Kuri Ketsuenhi. He's supposed to be really goodlooking. He's not pretty bishi like Trini. Trini's unique that way. I was going to try inking, but I'm terrified to ruin it so I won't. Maybe I'll get it up someday. If I do I'll post the whole page to show how bad my notes are. This page actually has notes from three different classes and two different semesters. That's not even the worse. You should see when I write notes for stories.
I've got a corner of a page with bits of Latin, symbols, maybe a double arrow. That's about four stories right there. I use Latin a lot in my Mirror Image stuff. I keep all Epic notes here to keep it organized. Well, here, our post board, and about twenty documents on my laptop. It's sad, about eighteen of those are about Zephyr only.
Other then draw Kuri's eye, we of The Unsaid Works had a massive brainstorming. Yes, that sounds painful. It's fun though. Outlining and arguing about episode number one. Arguing is the healthy thing to do. If we agree on everything it'll be flat. I think when I got off the phone we still had seven pages. A lot was being debated so it's hard to tell. But that's good. an hour long show is forty five pages. We don't want to rush. Rushing is poison for a show. And hey, we've got like a six year deadline. You can't get a show out there before then if you've never had a show out before. If we get a lot of awareness and a overal positive reaction then that time will start to shrink. Playing the hand. I like Van Halen. I'm sort of distracted. I've almost gotten it to white noise.
For such a far deadline and for there to be so much done, this thing already has fans. Trini has a fangirl. Our girly baddy has two fanboys. I wonder if they'd still like her if she weren't bad? And a couple other people seemed really interested in it before they knew it was characters from a show. Actually, they never made that connection. I think I go to a school of dumb people though. My little brother likes it and his friends what me to tell them about Ai. Ai's very popular with boys around ten. They're all sort of dim. They're not the witty ten year olds. It's great they like Ai though since Ai is intellegent and speaks well, for the most part. He is just an eighteen year old boy too. Hopefully they take away the language and smarts from him. I doubt it though. And I'm Ah-nee's own biggest fan. I can get annoyed with him like no one else in the show.

   Hawkers...again
Okay, truthfully, I still haven't thought of anyone for the next exposè. I'm going to get family information on my three Hawkers and stick it here. What I actually use this account for is putting up information either about Epic, which is the usual case, or putting up information about some Blue Swallow Production stuff. This way I don't have to junk up my Word program with this information. I post here and it goes to the archieves. With the case of Epic, where that'll be a TV show in a few years, I write in a sort of code so that I won't give anything big away but I still know what's going on. I think most of my messages are actually coded. I wonder if Unsaid got that? Those four have known me for eight years so they probably see right through it. Example of coding; just the meantion of a song can be a code for something else. Heck, just saying a character's name is a huge code. Right now Sweet Child O' Mine is playing. It's by Guns 'N Roses. Axel Rose has such and interesting voice and you've got to love the guitars.

Before we get to the Hawkers' families, I've got to say we're doing pretty good. It's been twenty four days since the Resolution and maybe six months since we came up with the idea of Epic and The Unsaid Works. We've got episode ideas, solid characters who grow, dynamite baddies, and a pretty good concept of what the story is. Funny how we got that part last. Now we just have to spread awareness and get money to pay for everything. The money is the hardest part. We're all broke. I think together we have maybe twenty five hundred dollars. Yeah, that broke. We need jobs so we can open up our Anime Cafè to fund Epic. As far as awareness goes, well, I'm always talking about it on here and I meantioned it in my Creative Writing class last semester so much that the prof. asked what it was. I didn't know he asked until nearly a week after the final class, but he did ask and seemed interested. If you're going to ask me a question don't write it on something you graded. I won't look at it. And yesterday Bobby posted a picture of a Strawberrian that Sam drew along with little chibis she colored.

Strawberrian Concept Doodles.

Hosted By theOtaku.com.
For info about Strawberrians just click the picture. Bobby wrote up a whole brief summary. And I posted two pictures. I can't draw though so I was really worried about Epic getting a negative reaction because of that.

Chik

Miserble attept at a chibi.

Caleb

Hosted By theOtaku.com.
Yeah, so those were my two attemps at getting Epic awareness. I think I'll stick to my rambling on here.

And now to the families of my three Hawkers. I said Kaspar, the leader, had two living parents and either a sibling or siblings. His father is Edsel Metzger and his mother is Carlina Metzger. He's got three siblings, two older sisters and one younger sister. The oldest is Emera, the second oldest is Rossa, and the youngest is Farisa. Emera is thirty four. Rossa is thirty two. Farisa is twenty seven.
Phyre was an only child but has two living parents. His father is named Broox Beckett and his mother is named Noa Beckett. Pretty easy.
Now Swift is harder to do just because the character doesn't talk about his life before being a Hawker. His parents are Tenauri Killin (father) and Whisper Killin (mother). He has only one sibling. A brother who is twenty one named Zane. I really thought I'd get more siblings out of the dice roll but no. I wonder if Zane can lay in the dirt and blend in like Swift?

Well, I'm still bored and I've got a Communications paper due tonight. I should get started on it. I'm glad it's only got to be a page even though I have no idea what he wants from it. Good day to all.

   mindless raving
My god, I'm so bored! I keep waking up at like 7:00 since I have classes at 11:30 Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wensdays, but there's nothing to do. I can eat, dress, clean up all in under an hour. I should start waking up later so I don't just sit in the stupid recliner for hours staring at the mindless little ToonDisney channel. It's the only thing not playing adds or showing babies that early. I freaking hate ToonDisney! I hate all Disney. Seriously, I'm going to start waking up later for those three days. I'm going crazy from boredom. I could use the spare time to type stuff but then I'd probably end up being late. And I can't edit before class. That's bad. Last semester I was editing before and between classes. I went home between class, which I should never do anyway since school is half an hour away, but I did. I started editing a Mirror Image chapter. It happened to be one of those ones that throws you off really bad. Someone died, and I can really make you feel uncomfortable. Maybe it's just because I've also had this character for five years, ever since he was thirteen, and he died real young with a wife and two really little kids. Murdered by his best friend. (Unsaid knows who it is now.) Yeah, and he was the overal good moral guy. Anyway, the point is, it was really uncomfortable. So I edited up to the point where he was dying, then had to run to Biology for four hours. I did so bad that lesson. Then I had to come back and finish editing. So I got right after he died and then had to go to Astronomy. I did really bad in that lesson too. So, no more editing before or between classes. That's why I keep posting everyday though is beause I'm so bored. Have you ever noticed that little kid shows seem to kill more people then adult shows? They don't show anything really gruesome, but they kill a lot more people off. Maybe that's how they tell the little kid shows from the adult shows. Little kid shows like five people die in eight episodes while adult shows five people get laid in two or three episodes. I don't watch much TV so my numbers may be a bit exhagerated. There's truth in it though. You may get one or two people that die in an adult show. Unless it's Monk and Psych. Then someone dies every episode and no one is fooling around like a cat in heat. I watch House too. That had that one season but it was a you know they did it you didn't see much thing. My sister watches Nip/Tuck. I watched the season with the Carver, but I can't watch it anymore. The human body grosses me out more then it appeals. Or it's because everyone in the show is old. Either way, I'll pass. I find that very interesting though about the amount of death in a child show. It's like the TV is having the whole "death" conversation with the kid instead of the parents having too. Very interesting. I know one thing, and I know this a absolute truth, death in Epic is going to be something else. When someone dies, and people will die, you're going to feel it even if you never liked the character before. I imagine with the five of us that we can make it feel even a bit icky. It won't be pretty in the least and with the statistics for suicide amoung teens high, I think it's just healthy for death to be protrayed as the gruesome ugly thing it really is. Have a pleasent day.
