I've been drafted to cos-play at MTAC as a charecter from Final Fantasy. Translation: My friend John wants me to dress up as a femal charecter from a video game/movie for a convention. My choice is difficult so I'm bringing in you folks to help me.

Tifa Lockheart: Final Fantasy VII (and in Advent Children)

Tifa is one of the central charecters. In VII she ran a bar and kicked some mega butt, she did the same in a much more modest costume in Advent Children. Tifa is a heck of a fighter, using her fists and feet instead of a weapon. She is a very outspoken, motherly, and has the personalaty of someone whose been there.

Renoa Heartilly: Final Fantasy VIII

Renoa is very ouspoken, compassionate, and spirited, and a key charecter in the game she is quite ofthen the damsel-in-distress, but she manages to get the cute guy to come get her out of it or she does it herself. She helps prevent the takover of an evil sorceress and aquires the powers herself, but not by choice.

 Tifa kicking some but, this is the costume I plan on using.

 Rinoa is the one in the long blue duster, the other woman is her mom

She never slows down
She doesn't know why but,
She knows that when
Shes all alone, it feels
Like its all, coming down
She won't turn around
The shadows are long
And she fears if she cries
That first tear
The tears will not stop
Raining down

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when its all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day whats lost can be found
You stand in the rain

She won't make a sound
Alone in this fight with herself
And the fears whispering
If she stands, she'll fall down
She wants to be found
The only way out is through
Everything she's running from
Wants to give up and lie down

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when its all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day whats lost can be found
You stand in the rain

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when its all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day whats lost can be found
You stand in the rain

Thanks Jessica!! And anybody else not sitting on a cushion!!

  If no one got that last part I will hunt you down and educate you!!!!!!!

This past week has been quite a week for insights. My friend Mark is having relationship problems (some of you met him on Wednesday when he came) with his girlfriend. He's usually the one giving the advice, but for the past few days it's been me saying all the deep profound stuff. I enjoyed it, it gave him something to think about and me a chance to tell him about the test she gave him.

 Yes, she gave him a test. She loves the movie "The Labyrinth" and she made him watch it and then gave him a test over it. She thought about dumping him because he missed most of the questions. Don't panic, I was the one that called her a dolt and tore the test up.

  So yeah, fun week thus far.

  Oh, I finished the first volume of a manga (if you don't know what it is go look it up). Josh just has to draw it out, I have to ink it in and make a few copies and we are in business. YAY!!!

I've spent the better part of my alone time, ALONE!!!

  I'm not complaining, it's just funny when an introvert introverts and finds themself to be one of those silent types.But then again, they wouldn't be an introvert if they weren't a silent type.

 Why this odd insight? It's all Sarah's fault!! For those of you who had the pleasure of meeting her today may have discovered her penchant for being loud and boistreous. Yes, I do socialize, otherwise I highly doubt any of you would realize I'm currently in existance.

 Seriously, if I didn't talk and just sat in the back with a book crammed onto my nose, you wouldn't see me. Talented little me has a gift for making herself invisible when she wishes, and sometimes when I don't wish it too.

  So now that I've poured out my strange thoughts and ramblings, how's everybody doing tonight?

  Just to make some of you laugh and/or smile.

I carried around my CD player today and listened to Eveanescence every chance I got. I'm now officially "rocked out".

 We're decorating for Christmas right now. Yes, we are, don't look at me like that either!!

 We have SOOOO much Christmas stuff we have to start in October to be done on time. We usually leave it up till February, because we are too lazy to take it down. I think our record for having it up was till April one year, we just didn't have time to take it all down in one day untill then.

Go to Youtube.com, type "Superchick Heroes"  in the search bar. They've got some AMAZING AMVs to that song. I like the FF7 one myself, the rest are really cool.

I'm done!!

Leaves from the vine,
Falling so slow,
Like fragile, tiny shells,
Drifting in the foam,
Brave soldier boy,
Come marching home,
Brave soldier boy,
Comes marching home 

  Gotta go, I'll explain later.

Line from my scene!!! I'm AMAZING!!!!

 I'm losing my voice, mostly because I'm yelling alot. I'm having fun while I do it though, and that's all that matters.

  Rebecca told me earlier that she was going to do my makeup with a purple theme, I'm interested in her other color choices. I can't tell you what they are, but they're pretty dang cool.

I just got their new CD. It's not as good as "Fallen", but I like it.

  My head hurts again. Dang it all! I think there's something in the house I'm babysitting at that I'm allergic to, probably mold of mildew. Wouldn't surprise me a bit.

 That house is so BIG. It has soooo many rooms, I keep expecting to open one and find myself in Narnia. It's insane!

Mmmmhhmmm they do, especially when you're babysitting all week. I had one today, and I had 0 caffene or anything to make it go away.Not a happy camper, but I had to keep it cool for the kiddies.

 Interesting little tidbit, my grandparents call (the ones I haven't seen in 5 years) call us up and invite us to my aunts baby shower. I knew Em was preganant, and I knew we got an invitation, I just didn't know we were actually GOING to the thing. I missed Scitzo, but it wasn't too bad. I got to see my great grandma (and I haven't seen her in about 7 years) so it was pretty cool. I just wonder when she started using a cane...

  And thirdly, I was up till about 11 last night. I was poking around on a Greek Mythology website (I"m a mythology NUT) and all of a sudden it hit me like a ton of paper, and that's pretty hard. STORY TIME!!! I've been typing it on and off scince I got home, can't think of what to call it or how it's gonna play out but it's a great way to waste time.

That's what happens when I hit Title-block, I start singing West Side Story. Be afraid!!

 Not really, but ok.Service was great tonight, I cried. And I don't usually cry, that just goes to show how awesome it was.

 I need to find a way to load my pictures onto this darn site. It keeps saying " .bmp is not an accepted data" or something like that.Anybody got any ideas?

Just so none of you are surprised tomorrow, my hair is almost black. I dyed it today, it was intended to be a brown-blackish color, now it's mostly black. I'll try to post a picture later.

Today was SYATP, Josh Goad and I were the only ones there from FWC. That's okay though, we got free McDonalds for breakfast!! YUM!

  We started on The Crucibel in English today. I hate that stupid play! I did costumes for at at SA, and I was on the house staff. Translation: The dratted thing was bored into my skull 2 weeks in a row.  It's such a depressing play, no happy ending at all, unless you like it when people get hanged.

 On to better things.My sisters (the 19 year old) boyfriend came over on Monday. I love listening to him talk, he's from Michigan so he has the YANKEE accent (never thought I'd use the word Yankee to describe anything) and he's Scottish descent so throw that into the mix. It's hypnotizing, but funny at the same time. We watched an old Pauly Shore movie, Son-in-Law for those of you who are curious, so for the rest of the night he walked around saying  "Let's munch on some grindage!". First time he saw that movie for the record, anyways... you couple that with his accent and you've got some funny syuff right there boy-os.

Okay, I was flipping through a magazine for this month and I came across the horoscopes. Being the curious one, I scrolled down to the one for Pisces (Yes, I'm a fish), it was eerily true. I'm copying it here:     Your world is changing this month and what emerges will be a completely new reality. Your rebirth is overdue, so embrace it- whatever is lost (a friend, a job, a habit) will be replaced with someone or something much more positive.

Now, normally I don't beleive in this sort of rubbish.it just weirded me out a little. I'm not hanging out with my old crowd as much at school (they weren't necessarily BAD, they just weren't GOOD), I've got my peeps at FWC now. I'm feeling myself become quieter (not quiet all together, just QUIETER), back to the old me that carted around 4 different books at the same time. I'm doing the things I want to do, like reading and working in the library at school. I'm not biting my fingernails (YAY!!) and I'm taking time to go out and walk.

 It's a little creepy sometimes isn't it?

I got my Phantom back yesterday. Yes, I watched it!! Did you expect me not to?

  I was originally planning to go to the Homecoming dance last night and had just finished making plans with Leslie, when Chris called. First thought: What the heck?. I answered, he told me he was almost in townand was having a movie night at his house!!! Needless to say I didn't go to the dance. Instead I watched Shanghai Noon and Knights, which just further proved Jackie Chan is AMAZING!!

I'm in the mood for Phantom of the Opera but I loaned it to a friend so he could burn a copy. Now I'm bummed.

 And now I'm not.  Today was Hat Day for Homecoming , I wore my brown fedora. Josh and Meagan kept calling me Ryan Bane, geez.

  We have our first Judgement practice tonight, I'm pretty excited. Going to go look for something to munch on for a while, or at least till supper's ready.

I've been sneezing all day, ugh.

 So we finally got the computer fixed (and there was much rejoicing). I've got my own little section of hardrive, so my background totaly rocks, I went photobucket-ing.

Homecoming is next week, Meag drafted me to go to the afterparty with her and a bunch of other people (I don't even know where it is!!). Anyway the theme is some sort of a Disney rip-off, I'm going dressed as Belle for the dress up day. I'm excited!!

      

   

       

     

      

      Actually I did it. Just felt like spreading some Disney love!!!!!!

Most of you are cheering, I bet you are.Don't lie!!

I'm just kidding, you are all laughing at my stupidity.I can deal, it's not often you tell someone off and they actually listen to you. it made me feel good and I'm not going to ruin it with words!

I wish I had a cool picture or something, because thats how I'm feelin' right about now. Maybe a cool song if I can find one real quick...

Call Me Whwn You're Sober- Evanescance

Don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.

Should I let you fall?
Lose it all?
So maybe you can remember yourself.
Can't keep believing,
We're only deceiving ourselves .
And I'm sick of the lie,
And you're too late.

Don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.

Couldn't take the blame.
Sick with shame.
Must be exhausting to lose your own game.
Selfishly hated,
No wonder you're jaded.
You can't play the victim this time,
And you're too late.

Don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me,
Come find me.
Make up your mind.

You never call me when you're sober.
You only want it cause it's over,
It's over.

How could I have burned paradise?
How could I - you were never mine.

So don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
Don't lie to me,
Just get your things.
I've made up your mind.

I love the video for this song.

Ok, the first week of school is over, and if I may say: my schedule rocks out loud!!!!!!!! I'm in one centralized area all day and I don't have to run around like a chicken with my head cut off!!!

 I am one of 5 or 6 juniors in Drivers Ed, so I feel really old. Perk: I sit next to a cute guy. Yay me! Fat Kid's home!!!!!!!! YYYAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! Actually, she'll be home tomorrow, but she still home!

 I was up at three in the morning watching Sister Act 2 at the hotel, and so were several other people. I'm still singing that bloody song!!
