    Skyward Sword Is Out!

    By Peach 00,

    And I probably won't be getting it, unless it's for Christmas or my birthday, which are both only a month apart. In exactly two months and one day, it'll be my birthday. In exactly a month and five days, it'll be Christmas.
     
    Buuuut that's beside the point. The more important part is, it's $50. I haven't bought a bunch of other games I've wanted, such as Super Mario Galaxy 2, Portal 2, etc.. Hopefully I'll buy it, but it depends on when I buy it. =/
     
    I waaaannnnt it. ;_;

    From what I've heard, the organization known as 'PETA' (I don't know much about it, and I'm going by only what I know) is against Raccoon Mario because 'it's wasting precious fur', so they're declaring Mario an animal killer because of this.
     
    Wow. Just wow. o_o

    Well, because it's getting late, I figured I'd give random updates, news, quotes, and mini rants before I get to bed. Seems better to have a wide range of completely spontaneous subjects compiled into one blog entry than spread out into about nine.
     
    So, first, just like to get this out of the way: At my ballet place, my teacher has been telling me/my parents that one of my friends and I are the two most advanced students in the class. Despite the fact it's going to happen anyway because of my age, she's thinking of moving me up to the advanced 12+ class.
     
    As well, this Russian ballet guy is coming the day after my birthday (my birthday is January 21st), and because I'll be 12 at that point, I'd take the advanced master class he's teaching for a day. Now of course the other teachers, including the assistant teacher, will be in this exact class, and my teacher thought it'd be awesome if I were in that class. So, just to see what my best abilities are, I'm going to be taking that class. =D (But unfortunately for me this guy doesn't speak a word of English, so I'm going to have to be working on ballet phrases and anything that he will understand when in communication.)
     
    So that's update #1.
     
    Now secondly, my brother (Tifosi 94) is having his birthday in six days, which will be five days tomorrow, but still, can't wait for that. My mom and I will be making a chocolate cake, either that or a black forest cake. For my birthday, I'm wishing for the Portal cake - anybody wondering what specific cake-type that is or if anybody has the recipe?
     
    Annd for an entirely random part, I'm busy watching Cheers while typing this. It's interesting to see that there's basically a tie-in with about six other shows because of the producers/creators/directors of Cheers made those other shows. So, about all of them: M*A*S*H, Taxi, Cheers, Frasier, Wings, andone other one I can't remember. All of them are really cool shows. :'D
     
    And again, on an entirely different note, writing has been semi-good. I've been wanting to do a human-Bionicle story lately, but haven't gotten any good ideas for it. Anybody have any practical ideas for a story? I'm wanting to use some of the characters in Danger Close (which, by the way, could use some attention, people), but I just can't think of any specific story background. =/ Also, advertisement for the following stories:

    Wings by Inferna Firesword
    Divided We Fall by Grant-Sud
    Rebirth by Me (Self advertisement is pitiful, but what the heck)
    Danger Close by Me

    So, there's a small list, but deserves attention. Again, I didn't want to advertisement my own stories, but they do need some attention. Grant's story and my story are both SSC8 entries, so we'd appreciate views on both. Inferna's epic has had reviewers bail on her (No clue who those people are, but get with it, guys), and just about the same with Danger Close. Reviews for all those stories would be great.
     
    And last but not least, ask me stuff. No clue what, but just ask me stuff.

    Planning on getting the first chapter of DC back up before the end of the night. Hopefully I can get it up in a few minutes. Also, I need some help digging up some of my old stories. I'm looking for plenty of stories, although I can't name some of them. If some people can help me look through the SS and Epics archives for the stories/review topics for stuff by me and whatnot, I'd really appreciate it.
     
    I'll update the entry when I get the review topic and story topic up, but for the meantime, going to post the chapter.
     
    (Side question: How do I stop the paragraphs from automatically going to the center? I've been having problems with that lately. Any answer to that would be great.)

    So, this is kind of an all-around blog entry, just about what I've been busy with in my recreational time.
     
    Well, I watched Rear Window for about the ninth time, and it's still my favorite movie. =P Alfred Hitchcock is a genius, and I really recommend the movie to those who haven't seen it. And, if you enjoy it, go see some of his other films. He is truly the master of suspense.
     
    And, for games, I've been playing Forza Motorsport 3, but not a lot of Majora's Mask lately. I might play it soon, I have no clue. But I'm loving the ability to drive a Ferrari FXX. =3
     
    For writing, I've been slow. I might not be able to enter the SS 8# contest after all, but I might still write the story anyway. Either way, by Friday, all the chapters I've done of Danger Close should be up soon, and I'm actually quite clueless as to where the story might go. Or so I say...
     
    Anyway, that's a short update for what I've been up to, besides school anyways. Now, I'm going to go listen to some Pink Floyd and do school, lol.
  7. Peach 00
    Although that might be a complete copy of Inferna's blog entry title, what else would I be saying?
     
    Still, I got an honorable mention, as did Inferna. I'm happy with the results - so happy, I'm motivated to write again! =D
     
    Congrats to all the winners, especially to Legolover, Aderia, and Grant-Sud. You guys deserved the places you finished in.

    Glitches With My Blog

    By Peach 00,

    So, for some reason, my blog won't let me have a comment block - as in, when I use the drop down box to access my content blocks, there is no such thing as a comment block in there, even though I've used it several times before. Actually, there are a number of content blocks missing, I'm pretty sure. =/
     
    Any reason why this might be? I would appreciate some help on this issue.

    Smb3 Is Addictive

    By Peach 00,

    Yeah, I figured I'd just check out BZP, lol. But anyway, I'm finding that Super Mario Brothers 3 is highly addictive, busy playing it at the moment on the Wii. I never got to play this on the original SNES, so I figured I'd play it on the Wii.

    I've had this song stuck in my head for days. It just keeps on playing inside my head, reminding me of dreams in life that are long-shots, people that I admire and care about...just lots of things. Keeps me being a hopeless romantic.
     
    Still, I swear, this song can make me melt like butter when I hear it, lol.
  14. Peach 00
    Yeah, my family went out for dinner 'cause it's my brother's birthday, and we went to our favorite restaurant. They had some caviar on one of the dishes, and in a reluctant way I tried it. Not too bad - my mom was like, "How was it?". I simply replied, "I dunno, I ate it too fast before I could savor it." XD Still, interesting, but I probably still won't understand why so many people can rave that it's the best thing they've ever had. It's good, but not the best thing in the world.
     
    Also plus listening to Hotel California by The Eagles is always awesome. I've had that and Ladies and Gentlemen, Roll the Dice by Kasabian stuck in my head for the past few days. =3

    Snow!

    By Peach 00,

    Well, I finally got some snow, even though it wasn't a lot. It melted right when it hit the ground, but it was just too cool to see it in November. I have never had that pleasure before.
     
    Also plus the Danger Close chapter will have to wait. I might get into the SS contest after all, and I still have time to post the story, since it's all finished. I promised myself that I was going to get as much schoolwork done as I can so I can get in. Anyway, I'm going off for a day or two so I can put the nose to the grindstone on this. Wish me luck! ;D

    Prince Of Persia

    By Peach 00,

    Just watched it. Awesome, all though it had some weak points. Action was sometimes a little cheap, but only at the beginning. Characters were cool, played well off each other. Also, I loved the CGI effects they did when they used the dagger.
     
    One thing I liked was that it wasn't a natural Disney movie. It wasn't like you could tell it was Disney, which made it better. Jerry Bruckheimer did a great job (Which also explains why it was so much like Pirates of the Carribean). In all, awesome movie.
     
    OK, movie review over. (Also, how come I have the feeling that I'm waaay late in watching this? )

    Wish You Were Here

    By Peach 00,

    Wish You Were Here
     
     
    So...so you think you can tell?
    Blue skies from pain?
    Can you tell a green field
    From a cold, steel rail?
    A smile of a veil?
    Do you think you can tell?
     
    Did they get you to trade
    Your heroes for ghosts?
    Hot ashes for trees?
    Hot air for a cool breeze?
    Cold comfort for change?
    Did you exchange
    A walk-on part in the war,
    For a lead-role in a cage?
     
    How I wish...how I wish you were here
    We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
    Year after year
    Running over the same old ground
    What have we found?
    The same old fears
    Wish you were here
     
     
    Yeah, had to sensor that second bit of lyrics. =P I swear, this has got to be my third favorite Pink Floyd song. It's just too awesome. I'm learning to play it on the guitar, but it's quite difficult. My brother basically knows the whole beginning of the song up to the first lyrics, so he's teaching me a bit of it. Every time I hear and of their music, I can only think that Pink Floyd is awesome. ^^
     
    EDIT: Also, sorry Shine. Didn't realize that would count still - wasn't trying to bypass it. Either way, I just got rid of the line entirely if that helps out a little bit. =]

    Yup, it's freezing outside (but it's not snowing) in about forty/fifty/thirty degree weather, and I'm wrapped up in a blanket sitting next to a heater. Oh, how I love winter...
     
    Yesterday I baked some cookies and brownies, and today I'm planning on making more. Sorry, if you want some, you're going to have to make the drive to where I am. =P But yay, warm baked cookies on a cold day = <3
     
    And, apparently, I have sort of some writer's block, which I had a feeling was going to happen. Either that, or I'm just giving myself an excuse not to write. Any threats people could send my way to get me to get writing again, please?
     
    But that's the basic news flash for today, but now I've got to go make some breakfast and watch the F1 India race in an hour or two. If you haven't seen any Formula One races, look up some from last year and see if you like it. 200mph+ cars are always awesome to watch. =D

    Anybody remember that entry? Yeah, I'm restarting it for more people to see. All the once slots filled were cleared because I reviewed all the MOCs and stories, except for one slot. Anyway, here's how it works to those who don't know it: You submit any form of story, art, MOC, comics, or whatever you need reviewed and I'll review. There are ten slots (nine currently), and when they're filled up, requests won't be taken. However, I can still take reviews through PMs, but I might take longer with the review. Here's the list:
     
    1. Chi Keeper Cho Voxumo-Chan The Switch Mirror (AWAITING REVIEW)
    2. Xinlo: Spirit of Sonics Destiny Quest (AWAITING REVIEW)
    3. Grant-Sud Divided We Fall (AWAITING REVIEW)
    4.
    5.
    6.
    7.
    8.
    9.
    10.
     
    Well, request anything. There are plenty of slots to fill.
     
    (Also, on another note, another chapter of Danger Close is up. Not a new one, or not that I can remember. The last one that I have on the chapter index I haven't written in full yet. Anyway, link.)
  21. Peach 00
    I still have PMship, woot-woot.
     
    So, Saturday was awesome because I saw a Panoz on the road in an area you would not expect it to be. Plus I saw two Lamborghinis, the newest being the Aventador and the Gallardo right behind it. I got to go to Barnes & Noble, which consisted of buying the P-U-L-S-E DVD Pink Floyd concert (=D), a book chock-full of pictures and info on guns and stuff. Can't remember anything else, lol.
     
    And, I rewatched the Star Wars movies on Sunday and Monday, and I've come to the conclusion that Young Anakin is really annoying, the actors and actresses that played Anakin, Padme', and Obi-Wan aren't overall good actors, and that the puppet Yoda was cooler. However, Yoda was still awesome in Episode III and II, just because of battle scenes with Duku (or how ever it's spelt) and Palpatine. But the new ones were just baaad. >_>
     
    Also, now I'm going to go spam the Danger Close topic with a chapter or two, and going to go watch the review topic fall down to the second page for the second time since BZP's return. Reviews please. ;_;

    Majora's Mask

    By Peach 00,

    I've been playing it lately, and I'm going through Stone Tower. MM = Confusing. >.> I swear, this is the hardest game in Zelda game history. Master Quest is a close second, but that was more like a harder add-on to Ocarina of Time, lol.
     
    Still, I think I've been playing this game for three years straight, and only just getting into Stone Tower. That might be because I stopped playing it every few months, but oh well. =P

    Reviews

    By Peach 00,

    I need some for Danger Close. The review topic has basically died on the second page, and it has six replies in it, three of them if I'm not mistaken my replies to the measely three reviews in the topic. Guys, I know that I shouldn't force people to read the story, but it'd be nice if people did. I've worked a year on that one story, put in almost over 30,000 words, and 74 pages in it, not to forget eighteen chapters. I've worked hard and long on it, and I'm not about to give it up just because people aren't interested in reading stories on here anymore.
     
    Writers like myself love the criticism, the praise, the simplistic comments - we love it because it reminds us that people really like what we write. It gives us the pleasure of knowing that what we are writing, the emotions we put down in words are read. Even if it's a few words, we know people read our stories.
     
    I don't understand why people don't enjoy looking at the stories the writers put out. The only people reviewing our stories our fellow authors, which is always comforting at most because they can point out the small flaws we have and tell us how to improve on those imperfect portions. But others reviewing tells us other people besides the other authors read our writing.
     
    But I really don't understand this: Why do people care to sit in one topic for over hours, posting the same thing over and over? Now I'm referring to the games in CoT. How is that interesting? Maybe it's a different in interest. Maybe it's because people aren't always interested in writing. But try something new! It can always be a refreshing change.
     
    Maybe this is just me, but I haven't really been motivated considering the constant lack of view on my stories. I write because I enjoy it, and I write so others can have the pleasure of enjoying it, too. When nobody reads it...it disappoints me. It makes things a little more bleak for me, a little less motivating. When nobody reads, why should I write?
     
    Well, maybe this is just my version of a rant about writing. I don't think it's ever been writer's block stopping me at this point, but I think it's just the lack of my stories being viewed.

    Wings

    By Peach 00,

    Link.
     
    Seriously? This is an amazing story. If you read it, you really won't regret it. If you haven't read Inferna Firesword's previous epics, then you might want to check the story guide she has in the review topic so you understand the characters, or either read one of her previous epics. Nonetheless, this story hasn't gotten the attention it deserves, and truly is an awesome story - seriously, go read it. You won't regret it. ; )
