    By Grantaire,

    ...I miss hanging out with you people...
     
    Remind me to (keep) badger(ing) my dad into fixing our second computer...
     
    In the meantime, I'm almost done with an essay on the knights Templar that I'm doing for my homeschool groups 'science and history fair'. The main problem I face is cutting it down to fit the time I'm allowed to speak.

    :-(

    By Grantaire,

    I want to write something so bad. But I have to wait 'til November to do so. It's so annoying...
     

     
    Anyways, I'm pretty sure that at least one part of my Redwall Fanfic will have to be toned down a bit to be kept BZP appropriate, due to the excessive violence I'm pretty sure it will contain.
     
    Also, my attempt at some sort of horror is going good, although I doubt I'll be able to make it 'horror'
     
    Oh, and KNI is officially an enemy of the Foireann, his pointless attacks have been getting a tad annoying...

    By Grantaire,

    So we took Gandalf to the vet today. (He hates cat carriers with a passion, I can tell you that.)
     
    Good news:
     
    1) We got his claws trimmed there.
    2) We found out he was a he.
     
    Bad news:
     
    3) He's blind.
     
    Yeah, we're going to have to keep him inside pretty much full time now.
     
    poor kitty. :'(

    Just saw For Greater Glory today; just it time it seems, as it's practically out of CT already.
     
    Overall, it was an excellent movie, although I hear that it was somewhat inaccurate when it came to Gorostieta and Fr. Vega.
     
    It was most certainly tragic, although it would have been more so if they had actually mentioned the immediate effects that the end of the war had. It was also quite violent and filled with what might be termed 'disturbing images'; namely people being hanged, shot, stabbed, shot, etc. Fortunately, violence isn't something that fazes me.
     
    One of my favorite things all out however is their portrayal of Catholicism; too often you see movies completely misrepresenting Catholicism (Season of the Witch for instance), so it was refreshing to see it presented accurately.
     
    I am totally looking for it to come out on DVD.

    Don't be surprised if you suddenly see a ton of angsty stories from yours truly.

    By Grantaire,

    So, I want to make a picture of Colm as the bishop of Digne my avatar. On the other hand, I'm not sure if it's too religious for BZP (Roman collar + pectoral cross)....
     
    So torn.

    By Grantaire,

    Where is a song titled something like 'get the heck out of my life' when you need it? It would definitely be my themesong right around now. >.<
     
    Expect a few more dark/depressing story from me very soon.

    By Grantaire,

    I know I'm in a bad mood when Sin with a Grin by Shinedown and Drones by Rise against soothe me....
     
    I might be withdrawing altogether from RPGs. I just don't have the oomph for them....
     
    Yeah, a lotta things both irl and online are getting me a bit down.. *Tries not to sound whiney*

    5000 posts!

    By Grantaire,

    Well, 5,001 now. I figure this is pretty much my highest goal. Even if I do a ton of RPing, it'll take me a good eight years to reach 10K.
     
    I really should put up a 5K special...

    A Guide To Mata Nui?

    By Grantaire,

    So for the first quarter of English, I'm doing creative writing (if I had taken it a year ago I may have learned somethings I didn't know )
     
    For the first lesson, I had to describe a water scene. I wrote Ga-Koro. For the second one I had to describe a water scene with objects moving in it. I wrote about Kopaka's landing beach. (Ussal crabs) for the third I had to describe pastoral scene either from someone looking at it or going through it. I wrote about a Matoran going through the Ga Wahi plains.
     
    And what I'm thinking of doing now is writing about more locations in Mata Nui and turning it into either a short story or epic.

    A Jumpstart?

    By Grantaire,

    And this will be the day before I turn fifteen... I hope it will be a good birthday present.
     
    On a totally unrelated note: Chestnuts are awesome.... You see, my family has two nice Chinese chestnut trees in our yard, and they're just beginning to bear..

    A New Power Cometh

    By Grantaire,

    Might as well let everyone know what my nanowrimo story is. Spoilered just in case.
     
    A New Power Cometh
     

    » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Synopsis: A New Power Cometh
     
    In the land of Mossflower, a new power has arisen in the far south. A city of warrior foxes!
    However, they are an odd bunch, and although they aren't good, they have a very strict and hard code of conduct.
     
    However, Aknar, son of Askra, the fox ruler is growing tired of this life, and rebels, taking a force of twenty score fox soldiers. The entire land of mossflower, even Salamandastron, is in dire peril.
     
    NOTE: This is a fan fiction of the Redwall series by Brian Jacques. The setting and everything but the plot and characters I made belong to him.

     
    What do you think?

    A Restart... Again.

    By Grantaire,

    Anyone remember that old epic of mine, Revenge of the Iden? Yeah, the crummy one. The one that's already been rewritten once. Well I'm restarting it again, soon. Writing the prologue atm.

    A Slippery Slope

    By Grantaire,

    Anyone notice that? For instance, I relax my scruples on swearing; next thing i know, I find myself using an [Do not bypass the wordfilter or reference words that are filtered.-Nukaya]. And I can look around it and see examples pretty much everywhere. A steady decay of morals.
