link I should start listening to my own advice. P.S. The previous entry has been updated for your viewing boredom pleasure.

There's this quiz tournament thing going on at my school right now... Yeah, nerdy, but really fun. There wound up being seven teams of four people each, from varying grade levels. My team is myself, Henry, Dani, and Mike (all Sophomores), and last Friday and today we played against Youri's team (all Juniors). What is really cool is that on Friday, Dani and Mike both had meetings they had to go to, so Henry and I were the only ones playing against a full team of four. And we thoroughly owned them – at one point the score was 90 to 10, our favor. Then, however, the category became Spanish. Henry and I take Latin and French. So they caught up then, but we gained back ground in the Latin category and finished the day at 120 to 80. (The Latin category was weird, though, because instead of giving Latin phrases, they read legal terms and we had to provide the Latin phrase used. I really should have known Quod Erat Demonstrandum.) Today we had both Dani and Mike with us and gained a lot more points in the category of Greek letters (something I expected to be terrible at) and some in the mystery category, which turned out to be Ronald Reagan. Then we won the game with 200 points to 110. It was awesome. However, there are still more rounds to go, and I dread going against the Senior team of Olivia, John, Adam, and Alexandra, who are the school's resident masters of random facts. In other news, I wrote three more inches of QfLD last night, have completed CGing my stylizations of Jaller, Nuparu, and Hewkii Mahri, and have decided to learn Greek. ~ ToM

I feel like crud right now. Throat hurts a lot and other stuff. I think I'll go to bed when I finish up this entry. ~~~~~~ Went to see IXI/The Driver today for the first time in a month-ish. We had a bunch of fun. He showed me the prototype version of the game Infinity and it looks awesome. He then showed me the C&C3 demo. Grace Park looked goood in it. We then played us some Burnout Revenge. Wherever we drove, there were explosions. 't Was fun. And last, but not least, we played some Slayer in Halo 2. I never had that much fun with a rocker launcher in my life before.... And IX also got me back into Need for Speed: High Stakes. I forgot how much fun it was. Hopefully IXI and I can square off online some time. ~~~~~~ It appears my BBC entry isn't doing all too great either. 7th in its poll, I believe. (Poll C) So vote vote vote! Its name is Scorpio. Or not, it's your choice basically. ~~~~~~ The ablum Secret and the DVD BoA the Live have arrived. Secret is an awesome album by Ayumi Hamasaki. When you have the chance, go and listen to it. I haven't had the time or the energy to watch BoA the Live yet. Hopefully tomorrow. Will rant about it later. ~~~~~~ I'll bring the downloads section back up soon. I just need to upload some stuff first tomorrow. ~~~~~~ The BoA fanclub goods should arrive in the next few weeks/months. According to the benefits page on the website, it could be the following things: - Fanclub membership ID card. - Fanclub magazine. - Invitation for the fanclub opening party with BoA. (Too bad I don't have enough money for transport to South Korea. ) - More special goods. ~~~~~~ Fields of Rock: Slayer, Megadeth, Suicidal Tendencies, Buckcherry and Aiden will perform on Fields of Rock. Aiden, Slayer and Suicidal Tendencies on Saturday and Megadeth and Buckcherry on Sunday. I hoped for Slayer on Sunday and Megadeth on Saturday, since I've already seen Slayer in concert. ~~~~~~ Recently, I wrote my sixth letter to BoA. I'm not certain if or when I will post it. We'll see. ~Valenti~ Everyday, every night. Baby, love is in my heart. I'm waiting for you...

Currently Listening To: General Grievous - Star Wars Episode III Soundtrack Currently Doing: Browsin' BZP and talkin' on AIM. Currently Reading: Shabanu by Suzanne Staples I have nothing really important to say, but I want to make an entry anyway. =D Well as everyone knows my list is open...But like got full in less than a few hours; congrats though who made it, and be quick to PM me others when I get an extra spot. And that will be soon as I am finishing Kinali. Also I am finishing up some other non-request art, so I really hope it ends ok. Well...My life? It’s almost 70(F) out, my sister is painting her dresser drawers in the garage, and I still need to finish my math lesson, having fun reading my book called Shabanu. Very good now. So...life is good. St. Patricks day is almost here too, I'll be wearing all green...and hey, I might even take a picture of myself and show everyone. But besides that nothing is happening so... I really want to play Scratches. BC-J got me back in it. ;-; ...Which reminds me I need to read his epic along with some others as an epic critic...If the server doesn't DIE. *Says it really loud to gain attention* Cha! ...Board message...Board message again...

If only today were yesterday.... *Sigh*

Our internet-connected computer is experiencing technical difficulties, and we may have to crash it next week. I will not be as active on BZP. HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

Background Music: "Creeping in my Soul" I struggled to get my homework, so I didn't complete much. As a Senior, I felt terrible for that. But then Mom got home... and the comic was in the mail! But on a meeting night again... Why must I suffer? Just Kidding. I got to read it because I got ready before Mom was. I loved how the Story page became a two page spread featuring all 6 Barraki! Then of course the page featuring the art. The due date is May, so I have enough time to make an entry! Finally, I decide to enter... Wait, is there an age limit? I am 18, and I know that stopped me from entering in the Free the Band Sweepstakes... *Checks in Magazine* YAY! No age limit! Who's with me? *utter silence* Oh, well. The meeting was all right. Tom Cat came and filled in as Worthy Advisor. This is the second meeting that I haven't used my WA gavel. Where is it, anyway?

We got second. AGAIN. So much stuff I didn't know... ooooooh... I got twelve questions right. OUT OF 25. And East Brunswick won AGAIN. Our entire team absolutely despises East Brunswick. *sigh*

I would not normally post two blog entries in one day but I need to say this now...My aunt died today of heart failure and a lung infection I will miss her dearly but i am more worried about my dad whom was her brother and my Grandfather whom was their dad i don't know how they are going to react to this. I will noew give a speech about her: Aunt Edna was always there for me when things looked grim. She was always there when I needed someone to talk to. She was never afraid of death. She always be in my memory. She will be missed. Rest In Peace *Yami*

Current Mood: Tired Currently Listening to: Chap Stick, Chapped Lips, and Things Like Chemistry – Relient K Currently Playing: (More) Sims 2 At this exact moment, I noted that Nikira and I have the same post count. Ah, how much I want to go shopping! I'm not much for clothes shopping, but I do need a pair of pants and a few Ts. But the main reason is getting Seasons and THE NEW RELIENT K ALBUM! <3 So I hope I go asap. Well, once again voting is going weird in the finals and not what I expected it to be, but oh well, it’s the majority. But still I dun like it. >> I'm really tired. And my mouth hurts due to braces, and my Orthodontist said I was doing fine; but you know what he said to me? XD Well, I think I am going to either write on another Short Story, or do some art....Ideas? I want to do some big Bionicle art project since I haven't done many. But not sure what...

That's right. The National Latin Exam was today. Wonder if all the Latin III's around the country were the same? I really couldn't figure out the last sentence of the story, the one with the dragon and the final clause that read "so that he might sow with fruit (?) the orb of the Earth." That kind of caused me to not understand the last 3 questions of the test. Also, who WAS Octavian's second wife? It WAS Octavian, right? The wife who convinced him to name her son as his heir (instead of, presumably, the son of his first wife). We didn't exactly do a ton of culture... I knew I'd heard "vectus" before and it turns out to be the 4PP of veho... so that means "quo vectus" would be "by who/which (subject, presumably 'he') was carried"? So, he was carried by the dragon? Yeah, really did not understand it at all. The rest of the story I knew, I mean I'd read the myth before (thank you Edith Hamilton) except with Greek names. But aside from those four I mentioned, the 3 concerning the last sentence of the story and the one on Octavius' wife, I'm fairly confident on all the other ones. G'luck to all those who have taken or will be taking the test. ... you know, you get to notice that taking Latin makes you treat your tense agreements meticulously. Oh, and I finished my Hahli Mahri CG. Right here.

Currently Listening To: Up and Up - Relient K Currently Doing: Trying to post an entry! About to do: Chores and watch a movie. Ai aye! You wouldn't believe how many times I have tried to post an entry. I keep getting kicked off, server message; the whole shebang! Once again I disappeared for a few days (Yall are just going to get use to that), this time my dad has been using his laptop a lot in work and needs my Internet wire to connect the laptop to our network; all confusing and stuff so I wont go into details, just know I have been without much Internet access for a few days. And right now I am on my dad’s computer. And even now I am rushing through this entry to finish it before he comes back to work. So yeah; earlier I was going to say that I was having artist block, and was getting all sad and stuff. But then I got persistent and wasn't going down into my empty brain again; so I am finishing up a colored version of Hahli Inika(Looks nice so far...I hope ><) and a few other things. Though I still really need to do a bigger project than just one or so characters! Still need to start on that Short Story...And having trouble on my next chapter for my epic. Strange, I tried like 4 different ideas and none are working; if yall have any, please tell. Almost done with the next part of the tutorial, so stay tuned k? Ok, I think I have kitchen chores to do, I want to scan some of my art (But can't update till I get my Internet back), and then before bed I want to watch an Alfred Hitchcock. Byez! PS: Got the Relient K album and the Sims 2 Seasons; great stuff!

...Never ride to Holcom Valley Scout Camp while conscious. We had to go to Big Bear in the Mountains to return Archery equipment. The trip took the whole day, as follows: 10:30 am ~ We leave from home 11 ~ "Mom, we've been on the road for a half hour, and those mountains don't look any closer" -TOV As we traveled up the mountains, we saw perfectly white patches of snow. For a suburban girl who lives WAY below the snow line, it's the most amazing sight. We also drove past a lake, also nice. 1:30-ish ~ We turn on the DIRT ROAD that leads to the Scout camp. There are so many rocks, I do not suggest travelling on this road while aware that your stomach is up to your throat. Dad said that the road was "Nice." "Nice?" I retorted. "Nice is pavement!" 2 pm ~ the person receiving the archery equipment met us on the road and enthusiastically described the camp's improvements (better showers, new targets, bows, and guns.) He also told us that small earthquakes released an ancient supply of water; then proceeded to gossip with my Dad. 3 ~ Late lunch at a local (for Big Bear) Italian restaurant: pizza. 4 or 5 ~ On the road again -then the breaks get hot. 7:30 ~ "UPLAND!" I exclaimed. We got some meat ball sandwiches at a local (for us) Italian restaurant. 8 ~ Dinner, I surf online and blog here

Mood: exhausted Listening to: Less than a Pearl, Enya Ohhh, it feels like it's been so long since I've listened to Amarantine (the CD, not the song). I love the songs in Loxian, and the whole album is, as with most anything by Enya, very relaxing, and good for a late winter afternoon... In Biology, we're finally on plants, and I'm annoyed that we skipped the section on Bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and hornworts mainly). And we jumped over the chapter on algae entirely. Bryophytes are my favorite plants... And I like algae too (plants or not). Apparently we need to be going faster, but we skipped the two most interesting parts of the whole texbook... Anyone who knows me well knows that one of my three chief interests is botany, so skipping large portions of the section is annoying. Oh well... Today was also the first real practice day of tennis, hence my exhaustion. Now that I've gotten back into the swing of things, I'm managing, not that I was ever exactly good in the first place. Meh. I can't wait until it gets warm enough to practice outside; I hate playing in the gym... Hiiyha... ~ ToM

Those are being delivered to Ashley. -Omi

My sister is going to KINDERGARTEN this fall! FWEE I'm so proud of her... She's actually going to be going to a real SCHOOL! Yester... uh, was it yesterday or the day before? Anyway, my mom went and got all the kindergarten registration stuff... kinda crazy, they need the original birth certificate and original deed to the house and probably your mother's aunt's maiden name. I mean, is it really THAT important to have all that stuff? My mom was going crazy over it. But anyway, still. She's such a big girl now... be turning five this summer. ^w^ And I'll be sixteen this fall. Wow. Such a loaded number. *sigh* to think that but four years ago she was crawling...

Honestly, I mean SERIOUSLY, who in heck wears flip-flops when there's 2 inches of snow on the ground? SNOW. And FLIP-FLOPS. I mean, WHEH? Also, I'm sick again. V_V Darn this weather... Not as bad as last time. Last time I was up to, like, 102, I'm currently right at 100. ... I had something else I was gonna say here but I forget what it was. Stupid headache. Oh, also, I'm in third in the AC finals. But oh well. Blargle.
