Where am I today?:: My house

How am I feeling today?:: busy

What am I listening to today?:: When It Rains -- Paramore

Leave me a comment saying "Resistance is Futile."

• I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can satisfy my curiosity.

• Update your journal with the answers to the questions.

• Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions--if you want to, I'm not big on the "Forcing" part of such memes.

I stole this from Alphonse's journal, and so, here are the answers to the questions she asked me! ^-^ Not gonna put the questions, though, because I don't think that's allowed in this meme.

1. Oh god. I have no idea. o.o I might, because it's candy and/or sweet things, but then again, I'm smart enough to not accept anything from strangers, so... o.o T^T I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION!!!! O.O

2. Ooh, good Lord. That's a bit of a difficult one... either Japan, with you, or with Lia... or with both of you in Japan! :D Yeah, that's my answer. With Alphonse and Lia in Japan. ^-^

3. I'm craving sushi. Like, insanely. I haven't had sushi in forever... o.o and I seriously LOVE it.

4. Dr. Pepper. Ever since Farr left, I haven't had my competition's worth of Dr. Pepper... T^T

5. I plan on going to college the fall after I graduate, so... when it starts in August (or September or whatever month it starts in) of 2010, I plan to be enrolled as a college freshman. :D

Sooo... yeah. Those're my answers. ^-^ If you want me to ask ya questions and you to answer 'em, just put "resistance is futile" in your comment! ^______^ I really wanna ask people questions. So I highly encourage this. :D

In other news, I have two new pictures up on deviantart! :D Here are the links!

I hope you like them! ^-^

So... yeah. Don't really have any new news. :P I finished chapter 5 of Requiem of Sins finally, so now I'm stuck. Again. >< I'm really starting to hate this book. I know, I keep having a bitchfest about the damn thing, but... It makes me mad, and at the same time, I love it. XD.

^-^ See you all later! :D

So, yush. There is mah survey. If you want to copy this onto your own LJ and do it, feel free to do so. ^_^

Argh, this week is not going well. Stress of many kinds is pulling me down and caving me in. I need to get away from it all. Somehow. Stress at home, stress with the music department at school, typical stress that you get every DAY at school.... stress with this god damn story I'm writing... Argh. I just wanna be like, "EVERYTHING STFU FOR LIKE, FIVE MINUTES. PLEASE." No, I'm not mad at anyone in particular except myself, sooo... yeah. Not going to go into the reasons why I'm mad at myself, because I've felt like I've told it too many times already, and I don't feel like saying why again.

So yeah. Not too much going on, but then again, there IS too much going on. I swear to god, if there's a shooting or a bomb threat at school sometime soon, I'm going to have a fit. I'll be like, "OKAY, TIME TO CARVE SOME PERMANENT SMILES." XD

I had a geometry test today, and I think I messed up on one question, but I think I got the others right, so I'm good. :D Having a French test next Tuesday. Tomorrow's a half-day, then we get Thursday and Friday off for Thanksgiving, so four-day weekend, yay! XD

Still working on chapter 5... I want to get this damn chapter DONE, but the problem is, I don't know where to go after this. The thing is, with Requiem of Sins, I know how it begins and how it's going to end, but it's the middle that's the problem. Getting from point A to point B is posing an issue for me. ><

Anyway... I miss Lia. I really need some hugs right now. T^T *huggles and kisses for Lia-chan* I love you, my puddin'! (Yes, I called ya puddin'. I felt like it. XDDDDDDDDD)

Will update soon, so... I'll talk to everyone later! ^-^

~~Aelwyn

3 months does not equal 5+ years. I'm sorry, SMeyer. XD

: fullmetalilaria; November 19th, 21:01

Where am I today?:: my house

How am I feeling today?:: annoyed

What am I listening to today?:: none

Soooo.... I'm here for another Stephenie Meyer/Twilight rant. I really need to get a podcast or somethin... XD. But whatever, moving on.

So, SMeyer claims that she got the idea for twilight from a dream. She then said (I read it somewhere, can't remember where though XD) that it only took her 3 months to write the damn thing, and obviously, she eventually got it published.

Ya wanna know how LONG I've had this damn elemental plot thing going around in my head?

5 years.

FIVE FUCKIN' YEARS.

5 years and counting, because I got the idea when I was 12 (and I'm 17 now). I was in 7th grade. In middle school when I got this idea, and ya know how long it's taken me to get to where I'm at now?

Many, many, MANY failed story attempts, many failed character developments, just... fail after fail after fail. The Elementalism trilogy that I started last year, at the start of my junior year, is the only attempt so far that's actually managed to work. I've tried many times to write some other stories with different plots that have no elemental powers involved, but they've never worked either. The elemental thing has been bugging the everlasting shit out of me ever since I came up with it five years ago, and it's not going to leave until I finish the second Elementalism trilogy that I have planned, I don't think.

So ya know what, SMeyer? Shove it up your ass. Three months does not equal five years. End of story.

I'm sorry if anyone reading this is a Twilight fan... I'm not getting pissed at you. I'm getting pissed at the author. I don't care if you like Twilight, as long as you don't shove it in my face and down my throat like the rabid Twitards do. XDDDDD.

Aaaaaanyway.... now that that's out of the way. XD

Speaking of Elementalism: I'm currently writing chapter 5 of Requiem of Sins, and Kurayami is turning into Mega-Bitch, starting to get irrationally angry all the time and snapping/yelling at Joslyn for no reason. What does this mean? Well, for those of you who I've sent it to (and there are only two people: Lia and my great-aunt), it means that what Lyra said in chapter 4 about darkness screwing with your mind and your mood... is damn accurate. :D

Speaking of Lia-chan! :D As of November 16th, which was... Tuesday, we've been together for two months now! ^_______^ Even though I always end up recalling that fact a couple days AFTER the 16th goes by.... I'm such a bad girlfriend. *head/desk* XDDDD I love you, Lia-chan! *kisses for Lia* <3333333333

I've also sent in a couple of my Halloween pics to the webmaster of Harley's Haven, an extremely well-made Harley Quinn fansite. For those curious: www.harley-quinn.com There it is, if ya wanna have a look-see! ;D Don't know when the pics'll be up, but they should be up next time she updates it, whenever that is. ^-^

Sooooo... yeah. Long update by me. I love you all! :D

~~Aelwyn

Something you've all been waiting for...

: fullmetalilaria; November 15th, 20:28

Where am I today?:: My house

How am I feeling today?:: calm

What am I listening to today?:: Mini Moni. Telephone! Ring Ring Ring -- Mini Moni

I finally have Halloween pictures! :D

Three of them, featuring me and Mistah J. :D That night was extremely fun. ^-^ And now, for the first one! :D

Alright. We took that one right after we finished putting on our makeup; we were going to a Halloween party dressed up as none other than the Joker and Harley Quinn! :D Obviously, I'm Harley, and Shawnee's Joker. We had to improvise a bit on our costumes by using clothes from our own wardrobes, but that was half the fun! :D

This one's got the worst quality, I think, because Meg took it with her phone (she actually took all three of the pics with her phone XD), but this is my favorite. ^-^ This was actually on the day of Halloween; the party happened the night before. XD. Anyway... I'm holding a little plastic gun, while Puddin' in the chair there's holding a glass of something. I don't remember what was in it, buuuuuuut... whatever. *shrugs* I hope you can see what I mean by "we had to improvise" now. XD

This one's a cute one; Meg took this after we'd gotten home from the Halloween party, at around 12:30-1:00 in the morning. Mistah J and I were exhausted, so we crashed on the couch in the living room... and slept for a couple hours before getting up and moving to the guest bedroom, where we slept in our face paint. XDDDDD. We were both asleep in this pic; I was not trying to fall asleep on her, buuuut... obviously that didn't happen. XD.

Soooo... that's all the Halloween pics I have. Not too many, but better than nothin', eh? ^___^

I hope you all like em! ^_____^ I really loved being Harley; I loved carrying the gun around and shooting it at people... XD. But the whole experience was really fun; Shawnee and I did the Joker-Harley routine perfectly. ^-^ Extremely fun.

Hopefully next year I'll have Harley's real costume, so I don't have to improvise again... XDDDD.

That'd be awesome if and when Lia and I end up meeting in real life, and we spend Halloween together, if she dressed as the Joker and I was Harley! ^____^ That'd be hella AWESOME!!!!!!!! ^__________^

Ooh la la, as of tomorrow, we'll have been together for two months! :D Time sure does fly... and I love her absolutely dearly, more than anything!!! ^________________^ *huggles and kisses and snuggles for Lia-chan* <333333333333

Yesterday, November 14th, was both Shawnee's 18th birthday and my little sister's 15th birthday! Happy late birthday to both of them, even though I was at Shawnee's all weekend. ^____^

Okay, so that's all from me!! ^_^

~~Aelwyn

PS-- I have a nasty rug burn on my knee from tripping over a chair and falling on carpet yesterday while chasing Shawnee around the house. It hurts. XDDD

Just a little update.

: fullmetalilaria; November 8th, 18:43

Where am I today?:: My house

How am I feeling today?:: calm

What am I listening to today?:: Sakura Drops -- Utada Hikaru

Well, I spent the weekend at my good friend Mistah J's house. :D We watched lots of movies (well, not really a lot, I mean, I finished up the Batman movie Sub-Zero, with Mr. Freeze in it, and The Dark Knight was playing most of the time XDDD), and we played lots of video games. I'm getting better at playing Mortal Kombat. XDDD I can actually beat her in fights now! :D Anyway... I ended up creating a character (you can do that in Armageddon, which is the MK we were playing) that looks as close to Harley as I could get. She's actually pretty badass-looking... I love her. I actually turned the game on this morning, brought her up, and sketched her out because I love the way she looks so much. ^-^ Still gotta ink it and color it, but I think she looks pretty sweet. :D

Speaking of drawing... I've finally got my two most recent pictures online! :D Here's the link to my first one, my original character Trickster:

evanescentwednesday.deviantart.com/art/Alondra-Gray-the-Trickster-142994778

And here's my second one, my second piece of Harley Quinn fanart! I love it:

evanescentwednesday.deviantart.com/art/From-Harleen-to-Harley-142993785

I hope you all like them. ^-^ I'm currently writing a Joker story... it's a oneshot, and since I completely came up with it off the top of my head, I have no idea how close it is to finished. XD Once I feel like it is, though, I'll post it and give you all the link. I promise. ^-^

Anyway... what else. Not much. Mistah J's birthday's this Saturday (the 14th), as is my little sister's. Shawnee's turning 18, and my little sister (who I've nicknamed Kasumi) is turning 15. I love birthdays. They're so much fun. :D

Ooh, I have a video to show you all. It's a Harley Quinn video, and it's one that's composed of all her funny moments from three different episodes of the TV show. I absolutely love it. (and for some reason, it stuck the vid at the bottom of the entry. After my signature. XDDD Just so ya know where it is. XD)

*journal randomly spazzes* Damn thing. XD

Yeah, this didn't really have any substance in it whatsoever. Hope ya liked it anyway! ^-^

This has been your local, lovable Harley Quinn fangirl, loving you all, especially her Lia-chan! ^-^

~~Aelwyn

So, apparently there's this thing called administrative leave...

: fullmetalilaria; November 2nd, 20:56

Where am I today?:: My house

How am I feeling today?:: contemplative

What am I listening to today?:: All I Need -- Within Temptation

It's a very strange thing. XD.

Okay, so I know what's going on with Douchebag Wilson. Yes, I'm calling him that for the time being. I have a very strong dislike of him, if you couldn't already tell. XD

So, he wasn't there today... apparently he's on "administrative leave." Don't know how long it'll be until he comes back... if he comes back at all. In my opinion, "administrative leave" is code for "You're gonna get fired soon, bitch!" XDDDDDDD. Yes, I know I'm a mean, cruel person. Little Harley shouldn't be so mean, should she? XDDD

Okay. Something else... :D

There's no school tomorrow. For what reason, I have no idea. It's the middle of the week, though, so I'm like, "Eh? Why didn't they just give us today off too?" Answers are mysteries... XD

I got the order form for my cap and gown for graduation today. The gown's most likely going to be extremely small, since I'm extremely small... *but don't tell anyone I actually admitted that!* XDDD. I'm also going to be getting a souvenir tassel (which is different from the one that actually goes on the cap), and a silver heart necklace specially made for the class of 2010. I'm so excited that I'm graduating this year. ^-^ It makes me feel so happy... but it makes me feel sad, too. I mean, some of the greatest changes and experiences in my life have happened during these past four years. I've had lots of ups, and a few downs too... like in my freshman year, when I went through a huge bout of self-destructive depression, to the point of where I was cutting myself and even attempted suicide twice (but obviously failed both times). I remember feeling so alone, so horrible... I even have a livejournal account, somewhere, from way back then. I know it exists, but I don't want to read it. I've come so far since then... Seriously. If you were to compare me now to the me I was back then, I would be... unrecognizable. :D

I've discovered some great things these four years... and I'm happy I've lived them! I mean, I've discovered the awesomeness of Morning Musume, of Kingdom Hearts, of Final Fantasy, of Sweeney Todd, of Harley Quinn and the Joker... I met all the friends I have today... I met my beautiful, adorable Lia-chan. ^-^ See, I never really thought being... not straight was a bad thing. My view on it has always been, you love who you love and there ya go. :D

Aw, come on... The Graduation Song (Friends Forever) by Vitamin C is playing in my ears. You couldn't pick a more appropriate song, could you, mp3 player? If you haven't heard this song, look it up on Youtube or something. It's a great song. ^-^ I want it to be the class song this year.

I'm probably going to end up crying at some point on graduation day... even though I always claim that I won't, always claim that I'll be amazingly happy when that day finally comes... I will, I know I will, but I'll also cry, probably. This damn place holds so many memories for me... both good and bad. ^-^

Is it sad that I'm thinking about this and it's only NOVEMBER? I mean, I don't graduate until June. XDDDDDDD. I fail. Epicly. :P I feel like I'm like, 50 or something, just really old, talking about all this stuff. It's a really odd feeling that I keep pointing out... It's odd for me because I'm the youngest in our group of friends; I always tend to be the youngest in the group of friends. It just feels weird to realize that I'm growing up, that I'll be an adult next year. o.O It's really daunting, somehow... you know what I mean?

Wow, this entry is longer than I intended. That's what happens when I start to ramble off in my thoughts, putting them to words and writing them down. XDDDDDD Anyway...

I'm drawing another Harley Quinn picture! :D I got really bored and came up with this weird idea... to draw our favorite harlequin in four different stages: little-kid Harley, teenage Harley, normal Harley, and Batman: Arkham Asylum Harley. I'm coming up with my own outfits for little-kid Harley and teenage Harley, and they're going to be awesome. :D I finished drawing her as a little kid, and although her eyes are too big for her head, so far it looks really cute. ^-^ I can't wait to finish it so I can show you all! :D

Wow, this is really long. Ummm... XDDDD. I think I'll stop now, so you all won't kill your eyes staring at red text all day. ^-^

I love you all! :D

~~Aelwyn

So starts a new month!

Yep. Those are results from a little quiz I took. Anyway... XD

It's the first of November! What's that mean? Well, Halloween's over (T^T), and now we have Thanksgiving to look forward to. Woo-hoo! :D

Well, my Halloween was awesome. I dressed up two days; on Friday and Saturday I was Harley Quinn. :D It was an improvised costume, but it was still awesome. ^-^ Shawnee was the Joker, just as we'd planned. ^-^ I don't have any pictures currently; Alphonse has them on her camera, but as soon as I can get them, I'll put em up. I promise. ^-^

Friday night, we went to a party at my friend Joey's house... and it was awesome. ^-^ I had so much fun, and I ate so much candy... I was so hyper!!! :D It went from 5 pm to midnight, and after we got back to Meg's house (because Shawnee and I were over there for the weekend), Mistah J and I both laid down on the couch (it was her on her back, kinda sitting up, and I was using her stomach as a pillow) and we both inadvertently passed out. Still in our costumes and face paint. XD. I woke up a couple of hours later, and I was a bit startled cause the house was so dark, but I went into the guest room and passed out again, still in my face paint (though I changed out of my skirt and leggings into my pajama pants) XDDDDDDD.

Last night, we roasted marshmallows and had s'mores... it was so much fun!!! ^____________^ We didn't do any trick-or-treating, but we still had fun... and I was Harley again! :D

Oh! And I finally saw The Dark Knight on Wednesday... IT'S AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! I can see why everyone loves it so much... Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker was downright spectacular. He gave me even more reasons to adore the Joker. ^-^ I want to watch it again on Tuesday, since we have no school on Tuesday (but we have school tomorrow, wtf. XD).

Oh my god, on Thursday... it was so weird. Okay. So apparently, the asshole band director slapped a kid across the face the other day, and on Thursday had apparently grabbed another kid by the back of the hair and was shaking them around. The director was there in second hour band, but was gone sixth hour select choir, and if he had been sick, there would've been a sub there who would've told us. However, even though we had a sub, it was apparent that he hadn't been sick... as the principal had apparently told him to leave earlier in the day. Usually when a teacher's sick, they leave the keys so the sub can get into their office to take attendance... We couldn't get into Wilson's office. He must've taken the keys with him or something... So I don't even know if he's going to be there tomorrow. I have absolutely no idea. Oh well... might as well wait and see, eh? :D

So yeah! That's what's up with me... sooooo... yeah. :D That's all for now! ^-^

I love my Lia-chan! ^-^ *huggles and kisses for her*

Fun with name research.

: fullmetalilaria; October 24th, 14:22

Where am I today?:: My house

How am I feeling today?:: bored

What am I listening to today?:: none

Since I am intensely bored, I decided to do a bit of research to see what the names I gave my characters mean. :D Both from the first Elementalism trilogy and the second Elementalism trilogy. :D I also had a laugh and found out what the name Harley means...

It means "From the hare's wood." It's a unisex name. Go Harley. XD

Anyway... to start, here are the names I found from the first trilogy! Have fun! ^-^

Elementalism

Kurayami -- darkness
Lycoris -- twilight
Aldebaran -- the brightest star in the constellation Taurus
Eridanus -- large southern constellation
Auriga -- charioteer; a constellation in the Northern Hemisphere
Lyra -- lyre, harp
Joslyn -- little Goth
Sirius -- dog star
Rigel -- foot, star in Orion
Rahima -- compassionate
Coriander -- romance, spice
Daisuke -- lionhearted

And those are all the ones I found from the first trilogy. :D I had to alter the spelling of Coriandyr's name, since the spelling I use isn't found ANYWHERE XD. I just love the meaning of Rahima's name, though. Compassionate. Bullshit, when it comes to her! She's one of the most sadistic beings alive! XDDDDDDD. Some of them, like the Symbrasias' names and Rigel's, were a bit difficult to find, but I found them. :D

And... here are the ones for the second trilogy!

Elementalism: Next Generation

Caitlin -- pure
Helena -- light
Asphodel -- flower name
Alchemy -- the art of transmutation of base metals into gold
Rydin -- a diminutive form of Rydinia (name created by me)
Lucien -- light
Merak -- the loin of the bear, part of the Big Dipper
Castor -- beaver, part of Gemini
Lexie -- defender of the people
Annastasia -- resurrection/gracious, merciful (Annie)
Allyson -- little Alice
Bellatrix -- warlike
Alondra -- lark (bird)

So there ya go. :D I did create Rydin's name, and I derived it from Rydinia, one of the demons from Symphony of Vengeance. He's one of Lyra's kids. XD Lexie's full name is Alyksia, but that spelling's not used either, so I used Alexia to look up her name. And I discovered that I put an extra N in Annie's full name. But that doesn't really faze me, so... eh. XD.

Yay for random entries! :D

Oh, and just in case you wanted to know... the name meanings of some of my friends! And me! :D

Lia -- weary
Aelwyn -- noble friend
Meg -- pearl
Shawnee -- Southern people, Algonquin tribe (yes, she was named after a Native American tribe. :D)
Alphonse -- noble and ready
Erin -- Ireland (apparently it comes from the Irish name for Ireland XD) (This also happens to be my uncle's middle name, and he despises it XD)
Lucretia -- riches (This be meh middle name. Aelwyn Lucretia. XD)
Renee -- reborn

Okay! So there's some of my friends, and of course, me! ^-^ Though for some reason, Aelwyn's apparently a guy name... oh well. XD Eridanus and Auriga are guy names too, according to some site. XD Fail!

All right, I'mma done here. :D

~~Aelwyn

I'm crazy about... Well hey, I'm just crazy.

: fullmetalilaria; October 23rd, 22:48

Where am I today?:: My house

How am I feeling today?:: bouncy

What am I listening to today?:: None... it's too late... XD

And that, my dears, is one of Harley's quotes. :D

So... it is Friday, 10:51 pm over here, and I'm sleeeepy.... but I don't want to go to sleep yet. XD. Does that make any sense at all?

However, I did change my clothes... and this is the first night in about 4-5 nights that I actually bothered putting pajamas on. The past few nights, I've fallen asleep reading in bed, with my clothes still on XDDD. Don't worry, I changed them after I woke up, but still... XD. Haven't worn pajamas in a while, so it feels kinda weird. XD.

Anyway... my day today. Yes. :D It was basically amazing. :D We got to play Rock Band in geometry class, and I was the first person to sing... and I got 100% on both songs that I sung! ^-^ I am amazing... lol.

And then... another amazing moment... in select choir, we were watching Nightmare before Christmas. I love that movie. ^-^

And then... I got to sing about the 3rd amendment in the Constitution in government class. Not very fun. But we all had some laughs. :D

And ya know what I just found out?

Well, the 1st quarter of the school year ended today. So, everyone had to put their grades in and crap. I just looked online to find mine out...

I HAVE A PERFECT REPORT CARD!!

All As. 4.0, perfect GPA. I haven't had all As in years, seriously. Major self-esteem boost!!! :D I'M SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^_______________________________________________^

*Enter key randomly sticks* XDDDD

Okay. So far, my senior year's turning out pretty good. GO AELWYN!! KEEP IT UP!! WAY TO CHEER FOR YOURSELF!!! XDDDD.

Here's to (hopefully) keeping my grades this good for the rest of the year! ^_______^

~~Aelwyn

Haven't posted in a few days!

: fullmetalilaria; October 23rd, 4:56

Where am I today?:: My house

How am I feeling today?:: sleepy

What am I listening to today?:: Silence. XD

My cat is meowing at the door, and she won't shut up... >< XDDDDD Cupid, I love you, but your meow gets annoying. XD

Anyway... nope, haven't posted in a few days. I'mma sorries for that... I had a bad few days. Basically due to my mom. >< I don't wanna go into heavy details, but let's just say last Friday we had a bit of a fight, and I ended up with a bunch of welts on both sides of my back (that disappeared by the next morning) and crying my eyes out.

All because I didn't go to the damn homecoming game.

Seriously. The band sucks, and even though I'm a member of that band, I'm not going to go out there and perform if we sound and look like complete shit. It's just not worth my time, but my mom doesn't get that, so... argh. Anger and beating me up ahoy! ><

Aaaaanyway... so I'm not going anywhere this weekend because I'm not allowed to. Which sucks, but oh well. XD. We have Friday off next week, so I'm going to go to Mistah J's (aka Shawnee's, if you haven't read the last entry XD) house Thursday after school and spend the night over there. :D And then maybe go to Alphonse's after that, since it's been forever since I last spent a weekend at her house.

Anyway, enough bitching about my mom XD. Ummm... what else?

Oh!

I've written my very first JokerxHarley oneshot, it's called A Little Soap and Water. If you haven't read it yet, it's on both my deviantart and my fanfiction.net account (my name for deviantart is EvanescentWednesday, my fanfiction.net pen name is Chibi Scissorwoman). It got written due to a plotbunny that wouldn't leave me the hell alone. XD So... I ask that you please read it! :D ^-^

So... I'm getting over a sickness right now, known to everyone as none other than THE COMMON COLD (dammit ><). First, Mistah J had it, then she spread it to Alphonse, then she spread it to Meg, and then both of them spread it to me. I'm the last one to get it. XDDDD Fail, fail, fail. XD Lol.

I'm currently working on a second JokerxHarley, and it's called Revving Up His Harley... I'll post it when it's all done. :D

Let's see, what else... Not much else, actually.

So, there's a little update for ya! :D

Ooh! One more thing: Lia-chan and I have been together for over a month now!! ^____^ The one-month marker was on October 16th. ^__________^ I love you, Lia-chan!! <3333333333333

~~Aelwyn

The school week was so short...

: fullmetalilaria; October 16th, 17:39

Where am I today?:: My house

How am I feeling today?:: crazy

What am I listening to today?:: No music today

AND THE SENIORS WIN THE SPIRIT YELL! :D Hell yeah! :D

So, yeah. We had a pep rally today because it was Homecoming week, and the senior class won overall in spirit scores. :D We're so badass it's not even funny. XD. Well, maybe a little bit. XDDDD

Anyway, so yeah, the school week was only three days long, which was awesome. However, Shawnee and I have an epic plan. :D

So, I've basically dubbed her the Joker (calling her Mistah J and Puddin, what Harley Quinn calls Joker XD), and thus I'm Harley. Halloween week is in a couple of weeks... and we get the 30th off. :D

We have a plan for the 29th.

While making it as school-appropriate as possible (and as affordable to our budgets as possible XD)... she and I are going to be the Joker and Harley Quinn.

We bought face makeup for it, and she's going to do hers at her house before school, and mine in the morning during breakfast. She's going to hopefully have her hair sprayed green (I think she'll be able to find green hair color), and she's hopefully going to be wearing purple (which is the harder part). I'll be wearing my hair up in low pigtails, black and red (complete with black gloves because I can't afford a full on Harley costume, nor do I have enough time to put one together) composing of shirt, pants, and gloves, and for her mask, I'll have black face makeup on (since masks aren't allowed at school). We will look really strange, because I don't think our high school's going to have dressup days that week, but what the hell ever! :D

Hopefully we can get some pictures taken... though I don't know. If we can, I'll be sure to post em here. :D My Harley's going to look kinda strange, since I wear glasses and can't see shit without them, but... it'll work. I'll make it work. ^_^

I don't think hardly anyone at my high school knows who the hell Harley Quinn is, but... who knows? I might find some knowledgable people. XD

Alright, that's all for now. ^-^

~~Aelwyn

The epicness of Harley Quinn.

: fullmetalilaria; October 13th, 11:26

Where am I today?:: Megpie's house

How am I feeling today?:: hungry

What am I listening to today?:: Welcome Home -- Coheed and Cambria

Sooo... Spending the weekend with Meg and Shawnee always brings forth a new obsession potential for me... this weekend is included. XD. We've been watching a lot of superhero movies this past weekend (like Batman Begins and Fantastic Four, neither of which I've ever seen XD), specifically focusing on Batman, and... I have a new villain I like. :D Two villains, actually, but I like one over the other. :D

See the chick in my userpic (yeah, I changed it... I'm still in love with Yaguchi and Morning Musume, though! :D)?

That, my dears, is Harley Quinn (in case you didn't know). She's from the Batman universe, and she sides with the Joker (who is the second villain I've discovered and love now. :D). She is plain kickasstastic! :D I love her so much ^-^ I currently want to dress up as her, and I want to dress Shawnee up as the Joker. XDDDDDDD. That should be entertaining.

Anyway.... in other news... not much is happening this weekend. I posted on Evthreads on Sunday about my epic failure choir/jazz band performance on Saturday... o.o I don't feel like going into detail, but just know that my band director made a complete ass out of himself by fighting with some chick's mom IN FRONT OF THE DAMN AUDIENCE. >< That's not the only way, but... argh. He just pisses me off so much that if I were to rant here about it, this would be a very long, long, LONG entry. XDDDDD.

I wanna see 9. XDDDDD [/randomness]

myimmortalrehost.webs.com/chapters122.htm This fic is made of epic fail and hilarity. Read if you dare. :D

I love my Lia-chan!!! ^________^ And I miss her, too. *huggles and kisses for Lia*

and I love you all too! :D

A lonely little poem.

: fullmetalilaria; October 7th, 17:48

Where am I today?:: My house

How am I feeling today?:: sad

What am I listening to today?:: None

So... I got bored last night after coming home from band practice (and I have it again tomorrow, so don't expect me online XD), and I wrote something.

It's in the POV of one of my characters, especially in Requiem of Sins... it's 3-year-old Caitlin Mizushima.

I'm going to post it here, and I don't really care about spoilers, because I really need to post this somewhere.

I'll explain what it's all about afterwards...

~~~

from Caitlin to Kurayami

where did she go?
mommy's gone...
where is she?

she says she'll come home soon...
hellie believes her.
i'm not so sure.

mommy cries a lot.
she misses her.
hellie can't figure out why.

she says if mommy's coming home soon
then why is mommy crying so much?
i can't tell her i don't think mommy's coming back...

i feel lonely
at night
because i can't sleep.

i cry
at night
because i miss her.

where did you go?
mommy...
why did you go away?

they left us with mika and koha
i got out and followed them
hellie got out and followed me.

something happened with mommy
and she disappeared.
i don't know why.

they keep saying this weird word. death.
what is it?
what does it mean?

my throat hurts.
it feels like it has a lump in it.
how do i make it go away?

mommy...

where are you?

can you hear me?

whereever you are?

i miss you...

mommy keeps saying you're coming back.
hellie believes her.
how is it that i don't?

why...

why did you go away?

why aren't you coming back?

mommy...

i love you...

please come back and see us again.

~~caitlin mizushima

~~~~

...So yeah. That's it. Not too long, kinda pathetic... but whatever.

What's this about?

Okay. So. This is from Caitlin to Kurayami, obviously by the title. Something happens to Kurayami (I'll leave it to you to figure out what it is), and she isn't coming back. Joslyn's a complete wreck; she's the other mommy that Caitlin references, the other mommy that tells her and Helena that Kurayami's going to come back. While Helena believes her, Caitlin doesn't, and she's wondering where Kurayami has gone and why she isn't coming back. She's too young to understand that what happened to Kurayami is permanent (at least, Helena is; Caitlin's partially figured it out), and that she'll never come back.

I guess... the past two deaths I've encountered in the past two weeks or so have just crashed together into my mind, creating a flood of emotions that I haven't felt since freshman year (so about 3 years ago). I can't own my feelings, so I channel them off into one of my characters, and that one character happened to be Caitlin... so... what Caitlin's talking about in the poem is basically how I feel.

I'm so close to crying these days... just breaking completely down. I just want to lay down somewhere and cry my eyes out until I can't anymore. I can't though; I'm always busy, and when I'm not, I'm always afraid of someone seeing me... I can't cry in front of people unless it's Alphonse or I've just been told news that's really, really, really shocking and sad (like when I heard that Alphonse's mom died). I don't know what's wrong with me... I don't know if I'm still grieving or what, but it's so... I don't know. I think I should stop thinking so much XD.

So, yeah. Nothing really's going on with me... I'm going to Shawnee's this weekend; we're then going to Meg's house to hang out with her... and the weekend after that I get to go to Alphonse's house again!!! :D And hopefully either tomorrow or Friday the select choir will get their new shirts... which means I get one! :D I'll take a picture of myself in it some time after I get it. ^-^

So... That's all from me for now ^-^ I'll try to post again sometime this weekend! I love you all!

~~Aelwyn

I'm crazy, insane, and I love cookies!

: fullmetalilaria; October 5th, 17:49

Where am I today?:: My house

How am I feeling today?:: calm

What am I listening to today?:: Be My Last -- Utada Hikaru (it's stuck in my head)

Erm, yeah, completely random title that has nothing to do with what I'm going to say; I'm sorry XDDDD.

Anyway. News for today... I have to go to band practice tomorrow and on Thursday, both times from 6-8 pm. So, alas... I might not be on until after about 8:30 pm my time, but who knows? XDDDD.

Anyway... time to get to the point. POINT! XDD. (I'm sorry, I'm randomly hyper for some reason XD)

So, I got bored today while sitting here after school (when I should be doing my French homework, but that's beside the point... and I always get it done before French class anyway, so I'mma good. :D), and decided to see how many Japanese songs I have sitting in my trusty little mp3 player. It took me an hour to get them all and write them all down, and you wanna know the results?

Out of 306 songs total, as of this day I have...

105 Japanese songs.

This includes J-pop, J-rock, and a ska band I have. :D Since I'm not entirely sure whether EVERYTHING'S J-pop or not, I put it under every Japanese song instead of every J-pop song. XDDDD.

I would write the entire list, but that'd take too long and I think I'll bore you to death anyway XD. So, I'll just give you a list of artists that I have. :D

Yaguchi Mari
Bad Luck (from the anime Gravitation)
Morning Musume
Berryz Koubou
Mini Moni
W (Double You)
Momoi Haruko
Utada Hikaru
Hamasaki Ayumi
Ouran High School Host Club Japanese voice actors
Rica Matsumoto (Ash Ketchum's Japanese VA from Pokemon XD)
Puffy AmiYumi

And that's only a few of them. XDDDD

Anyways, I'm hungry. I had a good day today... I got scholarship info and other crap they give to seniors every year... and I'm inspired to find the one scholarship I found a few months ago online: I can get a college scholarship for being below the height of either 5'2" or 5'3" (can't remember which). :D I'm 4'10", so I think I qualify for that one... :P

I love how I post almost every day, even when I have basically nothing to say. ^-^ And that rhymed, but that's beside the point. I update this so much for two reasons: 1. Because I love typing in here and just letting my thoughts flow free, and 2. I love to let you know how and what I'm doing, even if it isn't very much. ^-^

I'm debating on whether I should make some mac and cheese or not again... I think I will later. :D

You know what an awesome but sad song is?

Be My Last by Utada Hikaru.

I've had it stuck in my head all day, and I just can't help but think of Boo-chan when I hear it anymore. If you're a member of Evthreads, you know who Boo-chan is and what recently happened. I... can't say it because I think I'll cry again if I do. I cried for about an hour last night after I read about what happened. I hate when people die... it makes me sad, horribly sad, because when I hear about it, I always feel as if I'm losing someone close to me, and it makes me scared for my friends who are still living. I don't want anything bad to happen to any of them, and if I were to hear that one of them died or something, I'll be devastated. More than devastated. Especially if something were to happen to Alphonse or Lia... They're my two best friends in the whole wide world; they're at the very top of my best friends list, and if anything were to happen to either of them... let's just say I wouldn't be happy for a very, very long time. T^T

So yeah, Be My Last is stuck in my head. I love, love, LOVE that song, but it's really sad, too... The music video made me cry. If you haven't seen it yet, go look up Be My Last Utada Hikaru on youtube. It's beautiful and sad.

Anyway, this entry's getting long, so I'll stop now. ^-^ I love you guys sooo much...

RIP Boo-chan. Everyone on Evthreads loves you and misses you so much. *hugs*

Molto difficile!

: fullmetalilaria; October 4th, 17:35

Where am I today?:: My house

How am I feeling today?:: exhausted

What am I listening to today?:: Nothin currently XD

If I remember correctly from my Italian classes (note: I haven't really practiced Italian in about two years now XD), that means very difficult! XD

Anyway, you want to know what's very difficult? Okies, I'll tell you! ^-^

So, I went over to Alphonse's this weekend (FINALLY, it's been almost a month since I've spent the night at her house XD), and come to find out, they've moved into a new house! Which is all completely fine and dandy; I like their new house!

It's just... getting settled in and stuff arranged after moving in is so damn hard!!! O.O Not that I'm complaining; I'm not, I'm just making a statement. XD. I don't mind doing it and helping out (and holy shit, that sounded completely wrong, but anyway), it's just so damn hard... especially when you're my height and you get asked to hang something up that's higher than you can reach. I even had to climb up to a reeeeally high shelf to put stuff up there. I was scared to death climbing up, a little better once I was up there, and coming down... O.O It took me 10 minutes to get down because I sat there on top of the cabinet and refused to move. I'm scared to death of heights and falling from them, and I hate climbing on top of really tall things because of it. I warned them all beforehand, I was like, "I hope you know that it's going to take me forever to get down..." XDDDD.

I also made an extreme epic fail in my speech on Friday. :D So, I was cleaning out and dusting a cabinet, and I was using Windex and a rag. I went to go look for it because I'd set them down before and couldn't remember where I placed em (the kitchen was cluttered as all hell -- you couldn't find ANYTHING in there O.O), and I was like, "Okay, who has the Windex and the mop?" See, I wasn't using a mop. XDDDDDD. Right afterwards, I was all, "OH SHIT, I MEANT RAG! WHO HAS THE DAMN RAG??" and everyone, including me, was laughing at me. I don't know how the living hell I got mop confused with rag, but... CHIBI FAIL!!! XD.

Anyway, currently, I'm back at my house (I don't get to go over again until a week from this coming Friday; it's an agreement I've got going on with my mom), and I'm making SpongeBob mac and cheese. I love shaped mac n cheese... it's so yummy. ^-^

I did not get much sleep this weekend at all. We were up late both last night and Friday night, and Danielle came over on Friday. Anyway, we all ended up staying up until 6 a.m. both nights, and for God's sake, I couldn't sleep past 9 a.m. either night. Friday/Saturday morning (since I went to bed at 6 in the damn morning XD), I woke up at 9, tried to get back to sleep for an hour, then finally crashed again and woke up at 2 pm. This morning, I woke up at 9 AGAIN, and I had an even harder time getting back to sleep. I wasn't ever able to get back to sleep (though I might have passed out for a half hour at most this morning; I don't remember). So... I've had basically only 12-13 hours of sleep so far this weekend, and usually one my age gets all that in one day. XDDDD. I'm sleep-deprived currently, and all the work has me exhausted.

...And I have school tomorrow. What fun. XDDD

But I'm not complaining! I had fun this weekend ^______^ I got to see Danielle, who I haven't seen in forever, again... and hopefully she's showing up at school tomorrow (she hasn't been going to school as of late because of her mom).

I'mma sleepy and hungry... but I can't do anything yet because I have to wait for my food. XDDDD.

I miss Lia-chan a lot... o.o I actually cried yesterday when I woke up cause I missed her so much. I love her sooooooo much, too! ^______^ I hope she's doing okay! ^-^

Okays, I must go check meh food. I love you all! :D

PS -- I annoyed Alphonse with Mini Moni. Telephone! Ring Ring Ring all weekend. It was fun, and it was amusing. :D

A little plotbunny. ^-^

Where am I today?:: My house

How am I feeling today?:: hungry

What am I listening to today?:: Seishun Boku -- Yaguchi Mari

So... I was bored today. I came up with a possible part of a plot for my second Elementalism trilogy, Next Generation. So here goes! ^-^ (Don't mind if you don't know who some characters are; I'll introduce them to you eventually. ^-^)

Caitlin and Helena are kidnapped by men employed by Scissorkeeper and Submission, sent to capture every girl of Japanese descent between the ages of 12-18. Bellatrix sees their kidnapping and attacks the offenders, but ends up being captured for being a witness (even though she has no Asian blood in her at all).

During their captivity, they are forced out of their own clothes into very different, revealing ones, and they are each "marked" in some way: Bellatrix's hair is chopped off, Helena is cut across her back, and Caitlin's throat becomes infected with a rash from the collar she is forced to wear.

While there, they meet Mari, a 17-year-old full-Japanese girl who has been torn away from her 12-year-old sister Reina. Mari is irate, and while she has no elemental powers or special skills, she is unique in that she is small and fast, easily able to slip past guards and sneak away if the need arose. When inquired as to why she hasn't escaped yet, she replies that she has to find Reina first.

Meanwhile, the other members of the group, especially Merak, are worried about where the twins and Bellatrix have gone. They know they've been captured, as there are signs of a struggle and Bellatrix's dagger has been left behind. They figure that it is the Materials who are the cause (for they've met Alchemy's Material already), so they go searching for them.

In their captivity, a while later, Caitlin, Helena, Bellatrix, and Mari finally find Reina in a group of 13-year-olds. They find out from a straggling girl that Submission had told the group that they were taking a rare trip outside the compound in which they are all held. As everyone else is crowding around the giant open doors and peering outside at the group, the girls outside are forced to line up. As they watch, Scissorkeeper stands at the beginning of the line, and after a moment, starts running down the line, dragging her blade through each girl's neck, beheading them.

Gruesome? Yeah. I don't know where I got this idea from (and it's not finished yet; I still have more to add to it), but it looks like Mari is going to be a new character that I never intended to create for the trilogy. XDDDDD. No idea why Scissorkeeper and Submission are going around collecting Japanese girls, either; I still have to work that out. Yes, Reina was killed just then. When I finish writing it down, I'll post the rest of it so you'll know why. XDDD.

So, yeah. I think this might end up being part of the plot, because I already had Caitlin and Helena being captured anyway, so... eh. XD.

Why am I concentrating on the next trilogy, anyway? I'm still working on the last book of the first one! XDDDDD *fail*

Anyway... that's all for now! ^-^ I love you guys!!! :D

Where am I today?:: My house

How am I feeling today?:: hungry

What am I listening to today?:: Minimoni. Jankenpyon! -- Mini Moni (in my mind)

So, all I have to do to get to my LJ is just type the first three or four letters of my username into my address bar. The link comes up, I scroll to it, and push Enter. And I get there.

Today, I forgot to scroll down. XDD

I pushed Enter before scrolling down, so I end up going to http://full/ XDDDD Nothing is there; it's just a search page, but it amused me. XD I don't know why such a stupid little thing amused the crap out of me, but there ya go. XD

Anyway... I'mma sorry I didn't update yesterday; I didn't have anything really important to say. Not that I have anything important to say today, but whatever. XD. And there goes my overusage of XD again... XDDDDD. First off, I'll talk about mah grades. :D

For starters, I am proud to say that I have NO MISSING ASSIGNMENTS so far! ^-^ I usually get really horrible about doing homework and turning stuff in around this point in the year (yeah, senioritis sets in really early for me XDDD), but not this year! :D *knocks on wood* Just so I don't jinx myself. XD

My grades are as follows (:D):

Geometry: 99% A

Concert Band: 100% A

PE: 89% B

British Literature: 95% A

Select Choir: No grade entered in yet (because he won't put his damn grades in ><)

US Government: 93% A

French I: 97% A

:D And my GPA is currently.... *drum roll* 3.8!!! :D I just have to get the B in PE up to an A, and I'll be that much closer to a perfect 4.0! :D This senior year is starting out brilliantly. ^-^ I have no F's for the first time in about 4 or 5 years! XDDDD (Ever since starting high school, I've always had at least one F. >< That will change this year!) GO AELWYN!!!! ^___________^

So, what else has been going on with me? Not too much. XD I'm currently on my myspace, getting distracted by it... changing a few little things on it. XDDDD. Anyway... lol.

I'm hungry. I've been craving pizza and sushi for the past two weeks now (but not together, of course! Sushi pizza... pizza sushi? Both just sound strange XD). And I'm sitting here eating homemade french fries cause that's all we have left to eat. >< Thank god we're going grocery shopping tomorrow... though I know mom's going to get all the good stuff for herself like she normally does. >< Oh well.

Minutes keep passing every time I go away from this tab... Now I'm on youtube, watching some of my favorites (most of which are Morning Musume and Mini Moni videos XDDDD). I'mma gonna stop letting time go by now, and finish this!

See y'all later! :D

I love my Lia-chan!!! ^-^ I miss her, though. o.o ♥♥♥♥<33333

Chibi has a dream... or is it a vision?

: fullmetalilaria; September 28th, 15:33

Where am I today?:: My house

How am I feeling today?:: relieved

What am I listening to today?:: No music today XD

Alright. So, last night, I went to sleep, just like I normally do... and I have a dream.

A dream about Alphonse's mom.

Nothing really happened in it... though the way she looked was different. She was younger, she was smiling, she had all her natural hair back (because I think she did chemo when she was alive -- when she died she didn't have any hair XD), and she was dressed in this white robe dress type thing. She was standing next to this really tall guy, with brown hair and either brown or blue eyes (I can't remember what color they were). He was smiling at me, too, and he had an arm around her, and he was dressed in the same clothes that she was wearing. They were both glowing, and there was a bright light behind them, shining on them.

I woke up, and was like, wtf. XD

Alphonse called me a few minutes ago, and I told her. She told me that wasn't just a dream... that it was a vision of her mom with Jesus, letting me know she's okay. I was absolutely hysterical yesterday when I got to Alphonse's cousins' house after we found out her mom was dead, so dreaming this later... just baffles me. I've had two people in my own family die before (both were in September, but that's not the point XD), and I've never seen any visions of them with Jesus... I guess it was Alphonse's mom reassuring me that she's okay, that she's in a better place now, that I don't need to worry anymore. Our friend Danielle's at Alphonse's house today, and so Al told her about it (while I was still on the phone XD), and Dani said that the spirits of the dead have 48 hours to go around to all their family and everyone they loved and let them know somehow that they're okay. I guess this was her way of telling me. ^-^

Oh my god, I'm practically crying again.... XDDDD I was doing so good today, too. I guess it's ironic, though. I'm agnostic, yet I have a vision of Al's mom with Jesus in my sleep. I think this is proof enough that Jesus exists. O.O

I was going to post something else today, but this... has just lingered with me all day, so I had to talk about it. ^-^

What do you all think?

Bad News.

: fullmetalilaria; September 27th, 17:24

Where am I today?:: My house

How am I feeling today?:: sad

What am I listening to today?:: Chance! -- Koharu Kusumi (in an attempt to cheer myself up)

Alphonse's mom is dead.

She died at around 11:30 a.m. today; the brain cancer finally took her.

Alphonse called Meg today (because that's where Shawnee, my little sister, and I were) and told her. She told me over the phone, and I started crying. I mean, seriously sobbing.

We ended up driving over to Alphonse's cousins' house (because that was where everybody was), and the minute I saw Alphonse, I ran up to her, hugged her, and started bawling. I went absolutely ballistic. I would not stop crying for five minutes, and every time I tried to, I'd start sobbing again. I was shaking because I was crying so much.

I got to see her mom's body before the people who normally take the bodies away came, and I sobbed even more at that. She looked so peaceful, just as if she was sleeping, and even Alphonse started crying again. I kissed her forehead, just as I had when she was alive, and it tore me apart to see her. I loved that woman. She was a better mom to me than my own mom currently is, and losing her felt like losing my own mom (even though my own mom's not dead yet XD).

After the people came and took her away, everybody (Alphonse's whole family, at least everyone that could make it, as well as me, Meg, Kasumi [my little sister], and Shawnee) crowded around a table and started blowing up balloons. We wrote messages on them to Al's mom, telling her how much we'd miss her and all that, and once everyone had done that, we went outside and attempted to release them into the sky. That didn't really work, because none of them had strings tied to them, so they ended up blowing away into the wind XD. The adults said that when the balloons popped, a little part of ourselves would go up to heaven with Al's mom. I wrote my message in romaji; mine said, "Sayonara, okaa-san. Aishiteru. ♥Chibi-chan♥" which basically means "Good bye, Mom. I love you." and of course, Chibi-chan, my nickname. Now, I used the word that means I love you that the Japanese don't really use, but I don't know how else to say it, so yeah... ^^; I also wrote on the back, "Have fun up there! XD" for a bit of humor. XD.

The balloon thing really calmed me down; I didn't really cry anymore after that... I guess it was the sense of closure for me; that it'd really happened and that there was nothing I could do to alter it. I want to cry now, of course, going back and thinking about it all, but that's going to be there. I'm still sad about it, and I will be for a while. I wish Lia was on so I could talk to her about this... and because I miss her and I haven't talked to her all weekend. ^^; I love you, Lia-chan! *huggles and kisses* ^-^

I'm just worried that I'm going to embarrass myself tomorrow at school because of randomly breaking into tears... ^^; I know that'll probably happen. But... I guess there's nothing I can really do about it. Death is a natural part of life... even though it scares me sometimes to think about how fragile life really is.

RIP Victoria Lighty (Al's mom, in case you didn't figure it out XD). We all love you, and we all miss you. T^T

In other news...

This weekend bandwise has been horrible; details are posted in the band blog: http://chibibandgeek.xanga.com/weblog

On Friday in government class, I got so bored that I started a list of potential names for my future kids, both boy and girl. I'll post the lists (because I divided them into two) here. ^^

Girls

Caitlin
Helena
Bellatrix
Mari
Mika
Nozomi
Koharu
Emilia
Luciana
Catherine
Ayumi
Madeleine
Kyrie
Carrie
Lyra
Meagan
Sayaka
Catreena
Rikku
Alyssa
Jemima
Catira
Shalia

Boys

Edward
Alphonse
Lucien
Coriander
Giovanni
Karian
Aldebaran
Shigure
Ryusuke
Ralph

The lists are still incomplete; I'll add to them once I find more names I like. ^-^ A word about some of them...

Catreena is pronounced like you'd pronounce Katrina; I came up with it as a way to name it after Alphonse (because her real name's Treena) without outright using her name. Cause she's my best friend, and I adore her to death. ^-^ Shalia, I'm not sure how quite to pronounce that one yet, but it's my way of naming a daughter after Lia-chan. ^_^

And yes, I would name my kids after some of my own characters. Though Caitlin and Helena were on my list of potential names long before I came up with Caitlin Mizushima and Helena Karayuki. XD.

And Edward DOES NOT EQUAL EDWARD CULLEN! If I find anyone suggesting that, I'll sock 'em. XD If anyone WANTS to know, Edward and Alphonse are the names of the two main characters from Fullmetal Alchemist, and I love that anime and manga. ^-^

So, yeah. That's all from me for now. I love you all!

I attempt to read Midnight Sun! Oh god, what has driven me to this? O.O

: fullmetalilaria; September 24th, 19:04

Where am I today?:: My house

How am I feeling today?:: okay

What am I listening to today?:: As the World Falls Down -- David Bowie

Yes, folks, believe it or not, I'm attempting to read Midnight Sun right now. You know, the mysterious 5th Twilight book that SMeyer threw a temper tantrum over because it got leaked, and now she refuses to finish it? Yep, that one. I've only read one chapter and I have to say this:

It's fucking worse than Twilight.

It's in Eddiekins's POV, and god, he is an arrogant whiner. I made a topic on Twilight Sucks of my dismembering of the book; here it is: www.twilightsucks.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php

Enjoy. XDDDD. I am NOT looking forward to the rest of the book. O.O

In other news... XD

I've made a brand-spankin-new playlist for Elementalism! :D It's still in the works, but so far it has 21 songs on it, and it encompasses both trilogies: Elementalism (which I'm almost finished with) and Elementalism: Next Generation (which is about the Elementals' kids, in case you didn't know. ^-^). So... here it is:

</div>
Here's the little explanations for all of them, in case you wanted to know (this'll be a bit long-winded, sorry in advance ^^;):

Down with the Sickness ~ Kurayami. I dubbed this one of Kurayami's songs because it's basically about her darkness taking her over and making her evil and all that jazz, and she's trying to stop it because she doesn't want that to happen.

Flawed Design ~ Caitlin Mizushima, one of Kurayami's daughters. Even though Caitlin's not a boy (obviously XD), I wanted to give this to her as one of her songs because it's comparing her as a child to her as a teenager (which is what she appears as in Next Generation). When she was a kid, she wasn't very confrontational; she'd run at any conflict and let Helena or somebody else take care of it. As a teenager, she's all about rebellion and fights, and she lies quite often because it's a habit of hers.

Nobody's Home ~ Bellatrix McCarthy. Bellatrix is a character I recently came up with; she appears in Next Generation (which I'm calling the second generation Elemental book). She doesn't have any special powers, and although she seems strong on the outside, on the inside she has no clue if she fits in anywhere, and she has low self-esteem, being very unsure of herself and even sad because she doesn't really have a place to go.

The Truth Beneath the Rose ~ Lycoris. Yeah, at first I just gave her this song when I was going through my Within Temptation Heart of Everything phase because she was the only one without a song XD. It's basically about her gentleness hiding a fighting streak inside; the same fighter that was released when she killed Evanescia in the first book of Elementalism.

Gotta Be Somebody ~ Lycoris. Another Lycoris song. She's the only one who doesn't really end up with anyone like the rest of the Elementals do (except for Rigel, but she's asexual, so she doesn't give a damn that she's not with anyone), and she's dreaming of love and finding someone who loves her. ^-^

Beautiful Tragedy ~ Auriga. It's basically about her feelings after Sarukian rapes her (an event not happening in any of the books, but it is mentioned several times); how she keeps lying to herself about how it didn't happen to her, and she just wants the memory of it all to vanish.

Graduation (Friends Forever): Both generations of Elementals. Yeah. It's one of those songs about friendship, but this one, as applied to the Elementals, is them growing up and all the fighting is done, and how they're going their separate ways... just like a graduation. (I actually want this to be our graduation song for the year... but I cry every time I hear it because I keep remembering fun stuff, and I'm like, dammit, it's almost over T^T)

All I Need ~ Auriga. She's actually going to Aldebaran for comfort after the rape (so it's basically the sequel song to Beautiful Tragedy), because he's her big brother and she thinks he'll protect her from everything. ^-^

Little Wonders ~ Both generations of Elementals (again). It's about them being together again after a fight that's almost killed them (for the first generation, the battle with the Sandman. The second generation... not sure yet XD), and they're thankful and happy for each other and that everyone's still alive, even after the tough fight.

This Is A Call ~ This song actually goes for two people: Lycoris and Merak (second generation character). It's a very interesting song, actually. The first verse is for Lycoris, and the second verse is for Merak, one of my boys from Next Generation (who actually ends up falling for Caitlin, but that's another story and another song. XD). If you listen to the song and/or look at the lyrics, it's basically self-explanatory as to who they are. Lycoris's verse actually describes her really well. :D

Anything but Ordinary ~ Eridanus and Caitlin. They're talking about how they don't want to be normal at all, don't want to confine to society's image. :D

Freak Out ~ Eridanus and Caitlin (yet again XD). They are arrogant. Let's just say that. They just wanna freak out and completely be themselves, not letting anyone tell them what to do. :D

Unaffected ~ Kurayami. Talking about her family, Kurayami's expressing how she feels like they don't accept her, and what's she supposed to do besides act unaffected by their opinions of her?

Leave Out All the Rest ~ Kurayami and Joslyn. Asking everyone to forget all the bad things they've done when they die (Kurayami's darkness taking over, (oh shit spoiler, if you don't want to know then don't read (but highlight if you do): Joslyn's killing of Kurayami)).

When You're Gone ~ Joslyn. After (spoiler, highlight to read:) Kurayami's death.

As the World Falls Down ~ Caitlin and Merak. Basically Caitlin and Merak falling for each other. ^-^

Never Enough ~ Kurayami. The darkness taking over her has incurred a feeling of rage towards everyone she loves, and this is what the song is about.

Citizen Soldiers ~ Second generation Elementals. They're all aware of their powers and what they can do with them, and they're prepared to protect normal people if the need ever arises.

Ai Araba It's All Right ~ Lyra. Yes, I stuck a Morning Musume song in there; Lyra's so bouncy and happy and adores J-pop that it seems to fit. Ai Araba It's All Right is basically Lyra's philosophy at life: you don't have to be good at everything, just doing things you love is fine, and as long as there's love, it's all right. ^-^

Innocence ~ Lycoris and Lyra. Their lives are peaceful for once, and they're happy about it. ^-^

Doki Doki Waku Waku ~ Lyra. This is Mitsukuni Haninozuka's song from Ouran High School Host Club, and I have no idea what it is in English, but it's cute and bouncy and happy, just like Lyra. :D

Sorry that was so long-winded, guys... ^-^; I'll leave you all alone now. XDD
