Uh-oh guys, I did it. XD Hopefully this will help occupy my summer, and hopefully I will be able to stick to it (cause I'm a very very bad procrastinator!)

I'm going to go try to claim Namine now. :D

( I wanted to meet you at least once )

Yay! New layout!
I'd make a customized header for it, but I'm too lazy right now. Plus, it's cute enough on its own, dontcha think?

I'm going to make an iconcommunity, because I don't wanna spam this place up. Cause this really is my personal journal, I just enter icontests with it. So yeah.

I'm thinking about naming it olivejuice or something, except that olivejuice is taken, I think. I'll figure out a variation. Or maybe I'll just make a better name. Efflorescence, maybe? That is one of my favorite words... Resplendence? Gah...

Well, I'll think on it, create it, make a header, yadeeyadeeya, and then I'll post it here so you guys can see/join/whatever.

Love you all!
Annie

Custard didn't make it.

Today started off really well... and then boom. My mom called the school just before first block started, and she had them call me to the office. I called her back and she said that Custard didn't make it through the night.

I went back to Latin and began crying when it finally hit me. But I pulled myself together and went on with class, because I didn't want to let my group down (we did Consul elections) by crying in front of the class in the middle of my speech. I was tearing up in math class, but by lunch I had my act down, because of student council.

I just got home 45 minutes ago... the first thing I said was "where is she".


She's in a box...
A cramped little box.

I pet her, and it made me cry harder than I already was. She wasn't breathing.... and she was sort of hard. And it was strange and I hate it. And I want to blame someone but I can't because its no body's fault. I tried to blame the vet, but no, he helped the best that he could. What Custard had couldn't be cured.

I don't remember what I said she had in the last post... I know for sure now that she had Feline Leukemia and another disease... I think my mom said that she had HIV in her brain, and some kind of AIDS like virus... Those two or three diseases made her have the anemia...


Any time that the vet gave her anything to help over the night, she'd have a seizure...


I wonder if she would have lived had we not taken her to the vet... No probably not, I guess. I don't know. Apparently loads of farm cats have kitty leukemia, and I think she got it from our neighbors, actually. She started eating her kittens at their house... so my mom thinks it started there, cause we got her there...

I'll be fine soon. So please don't worry. Thank you all for caring so much.

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! In July I helped heathlaurel11  across the street (6 points). In November I invaded Iraq, broke it, and couldn't glue it back together before Mom got home (-1012 points). Last Wednesday I stole andromeda3116 's purse (-30 points). Last Sunday I donated bone marrow to unanalyzed  in a life-saving procedure (300 points). In February I bought porn for tishannia  (10 points). Overall, I've been naughty (-726 points). For Christmas I deserve a moldy sandwich! Sincerely, xennai

Write your letter to Santa! Enter your LJ username:

Damn you Iraq! Bree, stop making me buy you porn!

I'm still trying to figure out why buying you porn is in the positives. XD

Lol, okay, so I stole this from andromeda3116. And then I stole her purse.

YAY! okay, first icon dump. Some of these are a couple of months old, so some of them are pretty bad, but oh well. Here's the breakdown:

{1-25} Final Fantasy 7
{26} Final Fantasy 8
{27} Final Fantasy 9
{28-33} Final Fantasy X / X-2
{34-36} Final Fantasy 12
{37-43} Kingdom Hearts

PS, you icontest crazy people out there should go join my new community ffmelody  . I know, shameless pimping.
( just like the ones i used to know )

Kay, I'm doing an abstract thought post, because I am in a very finicky mood right now, and I can't decide if I'm happy or not, and these kinds of posts help sort everything out.
Which really makes absolutely no sense, if you think about it.

You know what? Screw abstract thinking. I just want to write and blab and be a girl and damn you Thomas to hell, but only if its a hell where I'm there too.

Thats a nice thought. Yeah, because what would I do without the constant blushing and avoiding him. Its a good way to show your affection, isn't it? Exactly.

I'm just glad he doesn't know. God, I hate being hung up on boys. Its so useless. Someone good has happened to me once because I was hung up on a boy, and that didn't last very long. After all, my emotions are hard to satisfy. I found that out the hard way. I don't know, maybe if Thomas and I [by some twists and turns and fairy dust of fate] end up together, I'll be completely and totally devoted (I was devoted to Troy, but only for a week. He became annoying after that), but not to the point where its constant "I love you" and "I miss you" and "I can't breath without you less than an inch from me." Because thats pathetic.

Chances are, you aren't going to be with that person forever. I feel like telling stupidassfuckdamnshitboy Danjerr that, but he'd just get defensive and not want to be my friend anymore. See Shell? If we had strikeouts on MSN, it would just be better. Life would be great. =b

Oh god, I'm tired, but my fingers just keep on working. Go fingers. Keep on running. I need to work on yellow, cause I'm just a o---

DAMNIT. WHYYYYYY.

Okay, so my play, and shelley's play, the winona play, ARE ON THE SAME DATES.

This is saddening.

I'm going to go freak out.

I woke up this morning, did some stuff, went online, looked at my MSN thingy, and BAM DUMBLEDORE IS GAY.

This may be the best day in history. Seriously. I could not be happier that ol' Dumbly is gay. God, Harry Potter needed some homosexual characters. It was just so straight (though I have randomly wondered about Pettigrew). And all of the other gayness is fanon, and now we have some great gay canon.

Sorry, made me happy. My dad's not. He's a homophobe. I wonder how he'd react if Cassi, Ray, or I were gay. I think it'd kill him. I'm glad we're not.

So I called a bunch of people and told them. Leah was great. She thinks Dumbledore molested Harry randomly behind the scenes in the books. So we argued about that for an hour.

After this, I went outside, played with my horse, then my mom and I decided to straighten out our flag pole (which one of our horses so graciously bent by kicking it). We got it straight in a matter of seconds, then we decided that we wanted to get a flag on it for once. Which took us the better part of an hour. Seriously, we had no clue how to get the flag up there, but we finally did it. Then we put the pole straight again.

Other activities today included painting a fence, lip syncing horribly to Whitney Houston, and cleaning my room.

Overall, today is great. Now I only have to fret about the musical, homework, girly stuff, and my Halloween costume. I'm going to be Hermione this year. Its my calling, haha. I have her hair. :S I'll get a picture from the dance this Friday for ya. :3

XDKAFJKS XDD

SO. FUNNY.

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=2011469643

No really, its great.

I really want to see across the universe. Have any of you seen it, y/n?

I love the Beatles.

So, I had practice (all by my lonesome!) today for the musical. So, towards the end of the lesson, (or whatever you'd like to call it, practice, I suppose, but it seemed more like a lesson) Mr. Fried helped me a bit on characterization. I get to act old too!

lol, duh, Annie.

But yeah, my assignment is to study old people ( XDD ) and figure out how they move. And practice moving like 'em. So this'll be fun, I hope!

Ahh, so more with life. I've got a Knowledge Bowl meet tomorrow, so, being the nerd I am, I'm totally pumped. I have to leave at 7 in the morning to get there on time, but what the hay, they're freaking fun! :D

And yuck. Every time I heard a stupid love song (DAMN YOU GOO GOO DOLLS AND DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL) I get in physical pain and nearly start crying.

Damn you hormones.

Uck.

So that'd be a tiny little update for all that care. :D

Lately I haven't had time to eat breakfast.

That's not good.

I generally don't eat supper, or not much of it, anyways.

Doubly not good.

I'm not developing an eating disorder, trust me. Its just I wish I had a bit more time in the mornings to be able to get something into my body to keep me energized at least till school lunch time. Oh well. I'll figure that little bit of life out.

Pippin is officially the coolest play in the world. There is, however, a sex scene.. or two, I think. Which, yay, is being cut out, but all of the suggestive lines aren't! Which stinks. Because I was supposed to get one. It went like so:

"Men and their wars... Sometimes I think men raise flags when they can't get anything else up!"

Ooh, my character, Bertha, Pippin's grandmother, was played by Irene Ryan in the original Broadway cast. For those who don't recognize the name, she was Granny on the Beverly Hillbillies. :D

So I'm happy about that, at least.

--------------------------

Eh... I took all of the above from a restored draft. Don't worry, I'm eating normally again. No more faintness. Oh god! but last week, I did pull a Bella!

No, really, listen: I was walking down the hall to get a drink or something, and Thomas walks past. Obviously I watched him pass me, but when he didn't seem to notice me I started to stumble, and some unfamiliar emotions were coursing through me like adrenaline. God, it was so messed up. I took me twenty seconds longer to get to Algebra. Uck.

On a happier note, Winona homecoming last night was AMAZING. It was so fun. The dances in Winona are so much more fun than the ones in SG. They actually feel like dances then.

Downside to it: Jessi and Kelsie couldn't get in. I was PISSED.

Kelsie had forgotten her Id, and Jess couldn't get in because she's a middle schooler [EVEN THOUGH THE ADMINISTRATER SAID SHE'D BE ABLE TO WHEN HE SIGNED HER GUEST PASS].

And my feet killed afterwards.

Oh gosh, can you tell I messed with my layout quite a bit? I made the header, but the CSS stuff came from refuted.

I'm ten billion times excited for Crisis Core... I want it to come out in English.

BAH. Must go to bed.

Night, love, and lots of it.
Annie

So... I took time out of my schedule to mess with my layout because of the beta customizing thingy, and I really don't like it. I'm just going to override it when I get the chance.

Homecoming week is over, thank god! The dance was amazing. I managed to get all three of my Winona girlies into the dance. I had loads of fun dancing, even though I'm sure I look like I'm convulsing whenever I do it. I really need to get into the habit of dancing again. OH. MY. GOD. My little eighth grader buddy, Caleb, CAN DANCE! Its amazing. He is really good at it, and my jaw drops every time he does his little routine thing, which, he has taken this to mean that I'm afraid of his mad skills.

Which I am. :D

Kay, so towards the end of the dance, I had to start cleaning up, because I'm in student council. I was picking off the red and black construction paper paw prints off the ground near Thomas, who was doing the same thing. I was walking towards the trash can to throw away the paper, and I heard a couple of girls calling my name. It was Sara and Kayley (they're both very nice), and one of the chaperones.

Right when I walk over they're chanting "Match maker, match maker!" So, I sat down (very nervously) and they said "We've been playing matchmaker! We've found a perfect match for you!"

Okay, the first thought that went through my head was "Matthew, right?" So I said that. Because everyone in my school assumes that the two of us are/should get together. And Matthew is just a good friend. But they told me not, that they thought Thomas was a good match for me.

My mouth hung open for longer than it does at Caleb's dancing.

Sure, Thomas is great. But he is in 11th grade. And I like to think of myself as completely unappealing. And someone like him wouldn't want someone like me when he could do so much better.

But I have had a bit of a crush on Thomas since 7th grade, because he was on my Knowledge Bowl team. And he was very smart. But the crush wasn't very prominent. And I don't think it really is now. But I'm not sure.

God, I'm a geek.

Feedback? Maybe?

Still have Dialup. Damnit all.

So, no one's home right now, and I have time to tell you anything about anything. Okay, not really, but at least I can fill you all in on my life a bit.

I just got back an hour ago from the Renaissance Festival. I went yesterday with Dia and her mom, step-dad, foreign exchange student, and Cyrus. So it was totally awkward for me. Cyrus is funny though, so that was nice.

 

The Renaissance Festival this year was AWESOME. I’ve never gone before, so I don’t really have anything to compare it to, but it was, in the words of Peter Griffin, freakin’ sweet. The shops were all so cool, and oh god, just the setting was sweet! Everything looked like a medieval castle and GOD I’M FANGIRLING!

 

Yes, I did dress up. But I didn’t really have a choice, but I would’ve dressed up anyways. They were all Dia’s. Her mom lives for this stuff. Seriously, she got MARRIED at the Festival two years ago, from what I gathered.

 

We went to see a couple of the shows they have there, the first one we saw was Jamison the Juggler… God, he’s hot. :D Actually, when we first got there, he was doing a show somewhere besides the main stage where he was, and had called out to the two of us, saying, “We’re learning, what are you doing?” It was very funny. I didn’t realize that it was him while we watched the show, but Dia pointed it out to me.

 

He kinda looks like a shorter Justin Long.

 

I just broke my rule. I’m reading a Twilight fanfic. Burn me at the stake, plz. Ack, never mind. It’s short… just dialogue. I’d rather read a nice long one if I’m going to break my rules for it.

 

Okay, not going to break my rule after all.

 

Oh, here’s the deal on that rule. A long time ago, I vowed that I would never read a Twilight fanfic, so I wouldn’t get anything mixed up with anything, ya know? And I still haven’t to this day. SO HAH!

 

I just went onto KH Insider and BAM Tokyo Gameshow stuff. Yay. Now I really need to get a DS and PSP. Lol, now I can buy two games for each. Maybe. If they’re all released in America. I’ll cry if they aren’t. Crisis Core, Revenant Wings, Kingdom Hearts 382/2 (wtf is up with the name??), and KH Birth by Sleep.

 

And I’m getting a cell phone soon too, so I can dream about the other KH title being released.

 

I’m so excited.

 

I suppose you may want to hear about school. It’s great. I’m stressed out, majorly, though. I’m in Knowledge Bowl, Student Council, Chamber Choir, Women’s Choir, and I had to write and coordinate the skit that we’re doing for homecoming TOMORROW NIGHT! And I just tried out for our school musical, Pippin.

 

Yay for Pippin, it seems really cool. Of course, we’re cutting out some of the more suggestive scenes in it. I think I did well at the auditions. Callbacks are this week.

 

I’m going to stop now. Hopefully I’ll get feedback?

 

Love times a million!

Annie

Kay, so this is only a quick update. I've moved in, but we still have some stuff at the old apartment. 
My computers up and running but again, Dailup? Ick. Its really horrid, and my dad says that we're not getting DSL for a week. I can't bear to think of how my computer would react if I tried to post an entry with Dialup right now.

So, if you caught that, I'm not at home. I'm an hour away at my Grandparents. I still have English homework to do, and a script to write.
More on that in a week.
I'll give you guys a bit of an outline of the entry:
-School
-School
-Moving
and
-School.

:D
I will tell you now, however, that I made it into Student Council this year and I couldn't be more overjoyed. I was in it one other time, in seventh grade, but yayyy! I didn't run in eigth cause I wanted to give other people a chance.

I feel like its my fault that the eight grade events all sucked.

:S

Iff.

Oh well, I better stop here. Or someones going to come looking for me. 

LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU ALL!

~♥
Annie

sorry for not being able to say how school is.

i've got about three seconds before  I've got to act like I'm packing.

I'm moving. Tonights the first night at the new house, and hoo god. I swear, the next post is going to be HUGE. But its not going to come for a while.

I'm going to have to deal with Dial Up for two weeks. ick


I LOVE YOU ALL!


<3

Annie

Ick ick ick. So I finally got it all updated... and stuff. So I decided to update it on livejournal (although I didn't post chapter 6 here. Eheh). Oh well. I'll update you guys on school tomorrow. I'll tell you this, though, Latin is definitely my favorite class.

Got my schedule the other day. Here it is:

Period 1        Latin 1
Period 2        Algebra 1
 -Lunch-
Period 3       English
Period 4A    Choir
Period 4B    Study Hall

All of my classes are an hour and a half long, except for Choir and Study hall, which are divided into 45 minutes each. I'm not going to be able to take Latin 2 next year, because the teacher is retiring (and she's really nice, too! She's not too old, but I think someone in her near family died recently, so that may have been it.)

My Algebra teacher wants me and Leah (and obviously some other people) to work on a weekly newsletter for her. I'll be writing, I think, and Leah's going to do weekly cartoons or something. Sweet.

Downside of all this? I'm 97% sure that I'm going to be stuck in a class with all the little bratty girls that I can get along with, but they're too.. materialistic. Ick. : (

On the upside, I'm going to accomplish a bit today. I've got a new Yellow chapter in the making (Finally!) and I'm working on a batch of FF7 icons because of the beautiful new CG pictures and screenshots from Crisis Core. You can see a sample above. I love Aerith.

Did I mention Crisis Core looks AWESOME x4143847180809780.

Zax.... [insert fangirl sounds here]

: )

Now I just need a PSP. Ugh... And a DS would be nice for Revenant Wings. Whenever those two come out in America. Hah.

Why do all other countries seem so much cooler than America? Oh yeah, that's right, cause they are. How's that for American Pride. Haha.

Well, I'm gunna keep working on the icons and such.

Hmm.. Just realized I haven't posted in quite a while.

So, school starts in 10 days, and I couldn't be more excited. I just went school supply shopping yesterday (I love school supply shopping. Is that weird? Do any of you have that affliction too?) and had a blast. I got a wallet and some socks as well. The wallet is great, and the socks are totally comfortable.

However much I want school to come, I don't want summer to end. The end of staying up all night and sleeping in. The end of lazy, comfortable days. The end of being able to hang out every single day of the week.

It's sad. I don't admit this to my friends though, they just think I'm a school-eager beaver. Which, to them, I am.

Wow, I just got a bit melancholy. Oh well. I need to finish writing my entry for the prompt contest over at rhr_is_canon.

I'll write tomorrow.
