FreakinTwoDayOneWayRoadTrips....

I'm tired. But I'm home. Maryland was fun, and I got to see Batman: The Dark Knight. Heath Ledger is love. I'm bushed though, so I don't feel like talking. Just wanted to say I'm back, and that I got into Sweeney Todd. Yay! So, it'll be busy. I'll actually write something that's actually informative later. But for now... VEG. <3

Back from the Dead

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 22:44:33 GMT

Whoops.

I had said that I was going to be updating here regularly, but that sort of crashed and burned, huh? -.-;;
Well, I haven't really done so much that I can have an excuse for not updating here. I had a few friends come hang out, a terrible fiasco with a slushie, finished reading a book (finally), made some pimped out brownies, and started spending my birthday money.

Story News

Well, two very important main things have happened since I last updated.

First off, I am posting Payback. Yay! First chapter's up now and I'm going to be posting the second one today. I hope those of you who haven't read my fanfiction won't hate me for making Payback. I like writing from a guy's perspective and if he happens to be gay.... well, what's it to ya? XD

Secondly, Now and Then will hopefully have a chapter up in a few days if I can get my lazy but going with it. It's going to be a long one, simply because I need a lot of things to happen. But there's a cool little something going on for Now and Then as well.
The amazing and utterly fabulous I'llbewaiting is drawing me a scene from NaT. The scene is the end of chapter 2, and I can't wait to see what she's done. Now I just need to get that chapter out for her. XD

Art News

Chalkfest is next weekend, and I'm scared shitless. Thank god my friend Kenny's gonna be there to help out. She's amazing with colors and blending. We're going to make something, hopefully. I think we're still on with the octopus deal, so I just need to brush up on drawing octopi and drawing them in chalk. Oh boy we're in trouble...

Me News

I'm going to be starting a drama camp on Monday that's going to last a week and a half. It's all day, so I'm going to actually have to get up at a decent time and go out and do stuff. HOLY CRAP I KNOW. That's going to be taking a bit of time out of my usually lazy schedule where I sometimes write things.
Also, I have Sweeney Todd auditions tomorrow. Yeah, I'm scared shitless about that too. I have no idea what I'm going to sing and I just want to get into it so badly. T_T
I also have a family vacations coming up at the end of July. So yeah, July's a busy month here. Sorry if you don't hear from me as much as youo want. I'm gonna try real hard to keep this updated, even on my trip. I'll find a place that has internet access. xD

Because I'm a BARD!

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 04:27:30 GMT

Really, it's the answer to everything.

Yeah, so I had gaming again today. FIVE HOURS OF AN AMAZING D 'N D CAMPAIGN! I'm a bard named Wyrm (who, yes is a guy. I like playing guys in campaigns. It just works better.) who is from the Water Tribe (it's set up in different tribes, kind of like Avatar the Last Airbender) and is unfortunately a pyromaniac. He makes AWESOME fireworks and fire whiskey. xD I love this campaign so much. <3
Which is weird because usually I don't get so excited about D'nD especially when it's 3.5. Kind of complicated... but actually, it's not that bad. I'm just smarter than I used to be. Okay, I'm done with my little gaming update.

Story News

I haven't started a new chapter of Now and Then yet. I will be doing so probably by this time next week. It's not that hard to post a chapter once a week anymore. At least, not for Now and Then.
In other story news, I had a really weird dream about a story that I might start soon. I don't really feel like explaining it, because I'd have to decode my dream logic, which really, really sucks... so... yeah. It's a possibility. I'll tell you more about it later, but basically this is the summary of what I got from this dream for a story idea, "You can choose who you like, but you can't always choose who you love."
Got you interested, didn't I?
I also have a story called "Payback" that I've been working on behind the scenes that's an original character shonen-ai like thing... basically the main character finds out he's in love with his guy best friend. I'm probably going to start posting that. It's journal entries of sweet Liam Kage's encounters with growing up on the Lower East Side of New York City.
I'm going to start posting that one soon on Fiction Press. YAY!

Other Stuff

Well, tomorrow I'm spending the day playing the first Kingdom Hearts with my friend Chels. Yeah, that's gonna be great.... So, probably nothing important happening tomorrow.
Oh, and I'm running three miles everyday now. Cause I'm insane.

A thought, a drabble, and a suggestion.

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 04:18:56 GMT

Alive.
(A thought.)

Stand outside and scream.
Because you can.
Because you're alive.

How To Deal with a Teenager.
(A drabble.)

You know what I hate? When an adult attempts to write a book about how to deal with a teenager. Because, yes, we are difficult. Do you think we’d have as much “fun” if we weren’t? And not to be all angst, but how do they expect to understand us? I mean if they pull the whole “well, I was there too” crap, then they’re just being retarded. ‘Cause if they really remembered all of their teenage years, they wouldn’t shake their heads when we do something stupid and say, “I just don’t know where this came from” or some other suitable filler for a disappointed silence.
So why do we have books being published for parents about how to deal with a teenager? I think a teen should write one. That’d be good.
“When your teenager announces that they’re pregnant, sign them up for the quickest abortion. Odds are, they want it out of their body just as much as you do.”
Or…
“If in the case your teenager is becoming obsessed with cultlike followings and have begun listening to Helter Skelter non-stop, let them join a commune. It’ll bite them in the ass when they get sent to prison for following “Family Orders”.”
And perhaps just maybe…
“Want to understand your teenager?
Well here’s how!

Don’t.”

DREAM BIG!
(A suggestion. And some actual crap that I updated. I know, dreams do come true.)

I'm amazed at how long it took me to realize I'm retarded for writing these journal entries. And because I'm so cool, I'm gonna keep doing it. FUCK YES!
Yeah, I'm in a rather liberal mood. I bought Juno and Edward Scissorhands today. So, yeah. I put up some Juno fanart on dA. Check it out.
I also posted another chapter of Now and Then. Hope you enjoy that... and PLEASE IF YOU'RE READING THIS, REVIEW! I will write whoever next reviews (and claims they read this journal entry) a fanfic of their choice. Preferably Kingdom Hearts, but you know, I know enough about a lot of other fandoms... so yeah... -is desperate-
I need to get a life and stop living on a computer. Damn the seventh grade and having no friends.
It crippled my ability to do anything with myself.

I'm writing more songs. Soon, I'll make a list for a small album, then I'm going to attempt to get music to the lyrics... and well, we'll see what happens.

"We're just dancing we're just hugging, screaming, kissing, pulling tugging, on the sleeve of how it used to be."

Some Actually Some-what (but not really) Important News

And now... I'm going to finally get my ass into bed. I've got a party tomorrow. And there was much rejoicing. (yay.) I posted a new one-shot fanfic at FF.net about Demyx and Zexion. Just a cute little drabble.... It's called BookSmart. Enjoy.
Other than that, I've been up to nothing again. Woo-hoo. I'm so freakin' productive.

ChalkFest July 2008

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 00:24:34 GMT

ChalkFest

I forgot that I have ChalkFest coming up! It's so much fun, but I didn't do it last year. I couldn't think of anything. XD So today I did some brainstorming and came up with an idea involving my love of octopi. I hope it will turn out like I've got it in my head. I did a rough sketch that I'm going to color and complete later. It was the most detailed octopus drawings I've ever done, so I decided to just take a bit of a break. Once I've got it done, I'll be sure to upload the sketch. And when I do chalkfest I'll take plenty of pictures. ^^

Updates (Yes, I've finally updated. BE AMAZED!)

I put a bunch of pictures up on DeviantART. Octopi drawings included. Check those out here.

Now and Then

I've been working on NaT! Yay! The next chapter should be up in a day or two, depending. I have half of it written, the other half floating around in my head. Then I need to read through it once just to make sure. AND I FINALLY GOT MY FIRST REVIEW ON IT! Thank you I'llbewaiting, I'm a huge fan of your artwork, and I'm honored you like my story. -end dorkiness here-

Other News

I've got my birthday party coming up this week. (YAY SUMMER SOLSTICE CELEBRATION!) There will be some work to do with that. I'm taking a break with the songs (they're all sounding the same again...). And despite valiant efforts, I can't bring myself to write The Hunter or start writing the new story I've been thinking about involving a girl who gets AIDS.
So... yeah, that's pretty much what's going on.

Oh, and I've become addicted to DDR again. Good times. Good times...

First Day of Summer

Thu, 12 Jun 2008 03:23:53 GMT

So Guess What I did today?

Yep... absolutely nothing.

Well, that's a lie. I did go to the library and picked up some of my first summer reading picks. I've got The Iliad, Surrender, and Are We There Yet? Not to mention a shonen-ai. It's called Gravitation. Never heard of it before, but hey, what the hell. I'll try something new. Other than that I ate Ramen and played Lego Indiana Jones.

Updates and What Not:

I'm starting the fifth chapter of Now and Then at the moment. That should be up by the end of the week. It's my goal to post a chapter to something at least once a week. Then I can add my little one-shots, smut, haikus and random songs when I want.
I'm also going to upload some of my octopi drawings after I get done writing this, so I better hurry up and finish my stupid journal. I should probably just accept the fact that I'm writing this for no reason. Oh well.

I'll leave you off with a Drabble - Tell me what you think!

Donatello
    My Dad used to tell me the story of the day when the world ran out of oil. He told me that it wasn’t just one day, that, poof! It was all gone. No, they’d known it was going, and it was going fast. There were tons and tons of metal contraptions that carried people from place to place and they guzzled oil like we drink water. Sometimes I found it really hard to believe him when he talked about people willing to sacrifice the clothes on their back so they could get in their contraptions and go someplace. Why couldn’t they walk? Dad would just laugh. Because. That’s all he’d say. So, one day people found out that the warnings everyone had been giving them were real. They found out when they went to get more and there was no place to get it. Dad said that he saw the man who lived next to his house shoot himself in the head. A lot of people did that. Then his eyes would get real sad, and he’d have to stop talking for a few minutes. I knew that he’d been thinking of doing that when he found out about oil being gone. But Mom had made him stop and think. She had just found out she was pregnant with me then. She couldn’t take care of me alone.

    Then Dad would say how people tried to find other ways to power their guzzling contraptions. And some of them sort of worked. But then this thing called the economy crashed. I didn’t ever understand what he meant by that. Basically there were these little pieces of paper and they were worth something. Like four pieces of paper would get you three apples or something. And there was a complicated system, throughout the entire world with tons of different pieces of paper and metal. And then, one of the biggest countries, the one we apparently still live in, America, its economic system collapsed in on itself. It was even worse than when the world ran out of oil. He said no one had hope then. That’s when people started to go crazy, he said. People starting bombing America, people who we were fighting wars against in the lands that had once been filled with oil. Then we started bombing back, and the whole world became one big battlefield, and whole nations were refugees.

    Then finally, it stopped.

    Dad would say that people had just given up. There was nothing left to fight for. They were just fighting because they had nothing else to do. There was no system keeping everyone together, government had either been thrown over or had trickled away and died. Everyone just wanted to survive. That’s when I was born, Dad would say, giving a big wrinkly smile. I witnessed that, all in my mom’s belly, he’d say. And when I was born, I took a breath of air in a whole new world where most babies didn’t live. I was lucky. Most died quick, cause disease was common and there was becoming less and less food. That’s why he and Mom called me Donatello. They said it meant, “given by God”. Every time Dad said this story, I had a feeling that I was supposed to feel more than just a slight pride for having over come the odds. I knew that he wanted me to see something more out of all of that. I just never understood what I was supposed to understand. I mean, I knew that life had been probably a lot easier when there was a system of things and everybody wasn’t moving from place to place through the ruins of cities. But that was then, and this is what we have to do now. What’s so hard to understand about that?

rAwR.

About MOI:

I love to write, sing, act, draw and play meaningless video games. I have an addiction to Kingdom Hearts and sold my soul to get FFVII (which didn't even work... that was a very bad day). The Miazaki films (Spirited Away, Castle in the Sky, Howl's Moving Castle) are some of my most favorite comfort movies (aside from Juno, Rent, Edward Scissorhands, and Sweeney Todd. Yes, Sweeney Todd can TOO be a comfort movie). When I grow up I want to be a vampire. I love octopi, I draw them all the time for some weird reason. I have a kitten named Indy (after the Indianna Jones movies. Yeah, that's right.). And the best food in the world is grilled cheese.

Why I'm Here:

I figured cause I'm going to be doing a lot this summer and I wanted to start keeping track of what I've been doing lately, I'd make a LiveJournal. Plus, I also figured I could dump my random failed story crap up here. That includes fanfics, weird poetry, hiakus and my attempts at smut. Yeah... I'm so cool.

Today's News:

Well, I stayed home and slept instead of going to school to take finals. YAY! Yeah, that was sort of nice, but now I have to make 'em up. Daaang. Oh well. Then I started working on a few songs with Garageband. What I've been doing lately is putting their rifts to my songs and ACTUALLY HAVING MY SONG LYRICS TO MUSIC. I'm going to get a mic hooked up to my computer soon so I can record my voice. Then, who knows, I might be able to put some on here or elsewhere. I don't think I'm gonna go YouTube. Not my thing.
I drew a bunch of my octopus character today... I'll color them and upload them onto my dA account. I'm gonna need to put up a bunch of links to everything. I've got a Fanfiction account, dA account, Fiction Press account and... well, actually that's it. why does that seem like a ton? Oh, and my website, which is just a place to follow all my links. Part of the reason why I made a LiveJournal was so I could just post updates here.
Anyways, that's pretty much it for today... Yay!

Countdown for School to End... 3 Days Left.

And Finally....

RAWR >.<
