    What else...I wish that every class was graded like an AP class. Random, I know, but I whenever I get my tests back in AP chem, there's always a fair deal of red on them, along with a grade of 85 percent. Then I think "85 percent...that's a B- or something. Wait a minute...acording to the sylubus, 80-100 percent is an A. I got an A!"

    Yeah...that's about all for me. Sorry if it was overwhelmingly long (it exceeded a new 1000 character limit, hence the breakage). Good luck on Eon Chronicles and wish me luck as well so that when I finish crashing parties, I'll be able to write...hopefully they won't boot me from their towns too quickly. lol.

    You know, I saw that website that you posted for writer's block and I think that I'll try it out. When my parents are out, I'm going to grab my teddy bear that I slept with when I was three, put it by my computer, and talk to it. Heck, I may drag out my old bennie babies as well. Then I'll have an entire audience for my twisted ideas, lol. I'm desperately trying to cut through my writer's block.

    Anyway...how's it been going?

    EDIT: Darn, I have to leave. May be back in a bit, may not be.

    The presidential election has overshadowed Michael Crichton's demise. There's no justice in this world.

    Actually, it was Ender's Game.

    And I like your new avatar as well...although I think that I liked the Latias one better. Maybe that's just because when she wears those headphones, I can imagine her jamming to Tiesto in her living room at five-A.M....at least that's what I do, lol.

    Hi!
    You seem like a freakin' awesome guy, so do you mind if I add you as my friend? Quite frankly, I'm going to do it anyway, but it's polite to ask. You can decline, though. If you were to do that, I'd simply have my army of Sentret with flamethrowers follow you to the end of your proximity, which, if I recall, was the earth.
    *an innocent, happy smile*

    I remember reading a book once (I won't say which so that it won't be spoiled if you haven't read it), where a poor, defenseless kid was challenged by a bully. Miraculously, the kid won. The bully tried to run, but the kid beat him to death.

    When asked to explain his actions, the kid said that he knew that if he let the bully go, he would come back and he would get beaten. He destroyed the bully in one decisive fight so that he would never be bothered again.

    It really is hard, as I've never been in that situation either.

    On another note, I've finnished my part of the corpse and sent my line off. I have a feeling that it may be a bit muddled...shrouded in a cloud of pseudo gangsta-talk. I guess we'll see what happens.

    EDIT: I need to get going now, nice talking.

    It was amazing. I've never really considered it before, our culture is very tolerant of violence: it promotes it, even. I know, hypocritical coming from writer who puts swords in the hands of two fourteen year-olds, but I could justify it by saying that they are using violence to prevent a greater evil that has the potential to cause more violence and harm than the teens if it isn't stopped.

    But then comes the "An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind." argument. Kind of makes my head hurt.

    Mm. I'm not much for showing emotion either. I was surprised that this particular skit made me cry. Here...let me tell you about it. Although seeing it would certainly be more powerful, it works to tell as well:

    It started out with a girl on the stage in normal street clothes and a guy in a white robe standing behind her (God, obviously). Whenever God would make a motion with one part of a body, she would follow: she was in complete unity with God.

    But then, a guy (boyfriend) swooped in and starting dancing with her, leaving God waving his arms vainly from the sidelines, trying to get her attention again. Then a multitude of other characters came in: a punk who gave her a bottle of beer, which she drank from contently, another punk, who shoved her down, then a stuck-up looking girl who kicked her. All of them formed a wall in front of God.

    Laying on the ground and crying, the Grim Reaper shows up last and orchestrates her movements like God did. This time, however, she is holding a knife. Just before she slits her wrist, she has a sudden change in heart and punches the Grim Reaper. He resigns to the wall of people who are blocking her from God.

    She charges at the wall, only to be knocked down and beaten up. She gets back up quickly and charges again, and again, each time being beaten up. Finally, she gets close enough to God that he is able to grab her. He shields her from the mass of people, now trying to beat him up in order to get to her. All at once, they crumple to the ground and God is again orchestrating her movements.


    I cried because although I have not been through that particular situation, I did undergo a trial similar to that. A few years ago, I became very sad, and very worried. I worried over everything. Period. It got to a low point where I began to ask myself "What's the point of this? Why don't I just take myself out right now?" I began to plot my own demise, but in the process, realized that I was worth more than I originally thought. If I were to kill myself, how would my parents feel? How would my friends feel?

    I imagined them, standing over my grave, and I could not even begin to comprehend what was going through their minds. That alone told me that I could not afford to give up. Death was closing in and I had to do something about it...so, I fought back. I worked my way out of the hole with the help of a specific teacher who encouraged me to write. I could explain, I could persuade: I could create. I was godlike. I could rise above the darkness.

    That's what I did, and that's why I cried. Every time that girl was knocked down it reminded me of my own attempts to work my way out. I kept trying and trying, undeterred by my failures. And when I finally manged to get there, I knew that my life would never be the same again. That's why I cried.

    I may be back in a bit...my sister's demanding the computer right now. If not, I'll see you later.

    Yo me quiero tambien.

    And I'd love to beta the Eon Chronicles. If you need me, I'll read.

    Today has been...exciting. I came home from school and found that Tiesto's Nyana, which I ordered from Amazon arrived. In addition, I also got Brisingr from the library.

    And that convention last weekend...as expected, the music did stink. I'm still trying to banish it from my head by listening to my CD that I got today.

    However, the rest of the convention was suburb. The speakers were all very dynamic, all very relevant to our lives. One that I liked in particular was a priest who came from Asia. Being that his English was not very good, he gave most of his presentations using PowerPoint.

    The basis of his entire presentation was an analogy that compared us to "rock stars who built the Catholic Church". I know it sounds stupid, but the way he presented it was hilarious. At the end of it all, the lights were dimmed, and "Party Like a Rock Star" was blasted over the speakers for five minutes. There were around three thousand with us with our cell phones and glowsticks...um...partying like rock stars. I think that was the closest we got to a rave.

    On another occasion, I also saw a skit that was very, very powerful. Before it even ended, I was crying my eyes out. That's highly unusual for me. It was strange...I was neither happy nor sad. I guess that it just connected dead-on to my life and that was all it took.

    I feel like I'm drawing this out. If you want to hear more about it, I could tell you. Or...perhaps someone recorded it. Maybe I'll do a quick search of YouTube.

    EDIT: Unfortunately, it isn't there...yet. It's been less than a day since it ended, so it's understandable that there aren't tons of videos on the net. I did find something kind of worthwhile, though: this. Yes, although a bit corny and a bit dark, keep in mind that there were three thousand of us chanting that. The bleachers would stand, shout their deal, sit down, and then the main floor would stand and shout. It alternated. Although true that I'm not one for vocal prayer, I actually found it very galvanizing, hearing three thousand people shout the same thing.

    Felt you'd like some positives after the recent events.

    Oh, don't worry, your art is great. XD Way better than mine by a mile even. I used to be good when I did art, but thinking too much and trying to be perfect eventually lead to blurring that joy of art for me, sadly. And heh. XD

    Man, I'm glad that thread's been closed. I think the reason why those threads inevitably dissolve into flame wars is because we subconsciously look for ways to interpret others' words as provocations for argument, perhaps as a scapegoat for letting off frustration.

    At any rate, see you in a month or so when a thread like that is inevitably started again. *sighs.*

    Since the thread was looked, i deemed it more appropriate to give you a reply to your absolute bollocks post.

    Well, considering you're already a homophobic, you might as well be a racist and sectarian as well whilst you're at it. They're all as bad as each other.

    And yes actually, there is biblical basis for enslaving people, in OT, it also states it's ok to beat your slave close to death but not kill them. That ok by you as well? The bible also states that the jewish will always be victims or persecution. The Clifford's tower massacre of 1190 was committed maily by Christians, and Hitler at one point held Christian beliefs.

    Not nice being stereotyped is it?

    oh and btw, poor attempt at trying to turn my jab against me.
