Avoid the Inevitable

Well, Irene is just about done around here, the power didn't get knocked out, nor did the cable, and I only heard one tree crack. The worst was about 7 hours ago, so I'm good. But a bigger storm is coming tomorrow.

So, tomorrow's Monday. Tomorrow's the first day I've school. I'd be lying if I said I was remotely happy about it. So, I wont be on as much, I wont be posting as much, and I'm going to *try* not to rant.

So um...that's it.

Cya!

Well That Sure Put on a Depressing Mood

(I'd like to say, first of all that when I was writing that title I made a typo and put "moos" instead of "mood")

Second of all, I feel like I've been totally inactive lately. Probably because I have been. Why, you ask? Well....I blame Soul Eater. I've been thinking about watching it for a while, then my friend Rebecca started watching it and that cut it. So, I started watching it, and I have to say, it was amazing. I highly suggest for all anime lovers. Although, I should warn you, a lot of times there's blood (sometimes more than 8 pints.) but it's not the gory type of blood. And usually it's when someone gets smacked. There's also mild language, mild language and um...some "lustful" images.

ANYWAY, getting to the matter at hand. So by now most of you have heard that Homework in a Graveyard is done. Am I upset? Not as much as some of you.
I'd like to say that I knew Autumn well.
I'd like to say that I was an avid reader of HiaG.
I'd like to say that I read her blog from the beginning.
I'd like to say that.

But I can't.

Don't get me wrong, I think Autumn had some great ideas and was really creative. I loved the whole idea of the 8 Bit Trials. It brought Wizard101 contests to a whole new level. And while I do think the blogsphere has taken a hit from losing Autumn, it's not like we're losing her for good. She'll still play, we'll still get to see her. So look on the bright side. She made history in our Spiral.

And after all, history wouldn't be history if it wasn't dead and gone.

So for now, I bid you a fond farewell, Homework in a Graveyard.

Regarding the Party

Alright, for the non-twizards, the party has been postponed, on account of the friend glitch. The party has been postponed to its original time TOMORROW night. Just a reminder, the port bus is Golem Court, Vampire Area 1, look for Alura Willowbreeze. The time is 8:00 PM EST, but the port bus starts at 7:45. If the bug is not fixed by then, well, I'll figure something out. By the way, Donna is NOT going to be at the party, as the house belongs to my Balance Wiz, and I need to monitor for trolls.
Sorry for the inconvenience, the location is still a secret, and thanks for the understanding!

Cya!

p.s. For that one person who has apparently had the idea that this is THEIR party, I'd like to remind them that they do not even know the location, that I had the idea for it, and I am the host. If you continue with such actions, I will be forced to bring out the frying pan.

Cyrus Drake, Worst Teacher Ever? Possibly.

I'd like to say, first of all, that I have nothing against Myth wizards and the school of Myth in general. Cyrus Drake is, however, not my favorite teacher. My tiny little Myth wiz is level 9, and has experienced his....temper....as he has tried to get me to find the Wumpus. I do like Ivan, though, for he is a trickster. ;D

I do like Cyrus' character, he's one of those love-to-hate kind of people. So, I made this:

C'mon, Myth Wizards, how many times have you wanted to break into his house at night and draw a mustache on his face in his sleep?

So, in conclusion, Wumpus, Moomintroll, Squijax.

Cya!

Summer WILL Go Out With a Bang If It's the Last Thing I do!

I know, I know, not a very catchy title.

So anyway, I have a house on my Balance Wiz, Paige, that I've been just dying to have a party in. Ask Heather or Kestrel, it's AWESOME. But to keep an element of surprise, I'm not telling you what house it is. If you've already seen it, then I should hope you keep it a secret, an if not, I may be forced to get violent. ;)

Okay, so, here are the details:
When: Next Friday, August 19th, 2011
Where: ??????
Time: 8:00 P.M. EST
Port bus: Alura Willowbreeze Golem Court, Vampire Area 1, 7:45 P.M. EST

Come as you are, or, you know, don't.

Cya!

Deffending my Reasons

OK, so this post is a little rant-y for the people who were in that "certain conversation" on Skype. I try to be upbeat most of the time, and I attempt at being happy, but I'll admit, I do have a temper. And, truth be told, if I said and did everything that came to mind at school, by now, I'd be expelled.

So by now most of you have probably heard of Nick. Over the past year, he's been trolling around Skype, and he's done some less-than-legal things. He's seriously hurt some people, most of which were, and continue to be, my friends. I've dealt with people like Nick before, they say they've changed but they never really have. This isn't the first time he's acted up, and in the past, people have forgave him. I wasn't one of them.

There's an old saying, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."

What happens if it's the eighth time?

LOOK! NICOLE HAS HAIR!

For the record, I was totally against this.

Pfff. I wasn't.

Wait....I have WHAT?

I don't want to get involved here.

I may regret this later, but right now, I don't care! You see, my sister, Nicole, hates showing her hair.

Chris, I swear I'm going to kill you.

...Which is why she usually wears a hood. This is her usual one:

Hey, since when did you hit level 20?

June. Chris, you do realise I have heck hound now, right?

Yes,and I have Frostbite. But you see, Donna had the idea-

-Which is why I think it's stupid.

I'll pull out my centaur right now and have him shoot you.-

-to have us each do Crab Alley and make a rebel outfit. Cap of Diplomacy, Rockin' Outfit, Adventurer Boots, in our regular colors, then whatever wand/staff/sword we happen to use most. And with the cap of diplomacy, your hair shows.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

I swear, when I get meteor strike, you're going down.

I support this completely.

Okaaaay, I'm going to shut this down before the blog explodes or something.

Cya!
This may be my last night to live!
It will be.
Why am I even here?
Bye!
I'll be keeping Nicole from killing Christina.

(Disclaimer: Nicole Ravenblood is my level 21 Pyromancer, Paige Dayriver is my level 34 Sorcerer, Donna Spellthorn is me, level 54 (almost 55) Theurgist, Christina Spiritthistle is my level 37 Thaughmaturge, Brooke Stormcaster is my level 15 Diviner, and Scarlet Duskglade is my level 16 Necromancer)

Wake Me Up When September Ends

It's that time again, folks! Yes, it's......RANT TIME! But this time I need to get something off my chest that has been bugging me since roughly October 25th. PERCY JACKSONITES, UNITE! Yup. The Lost Hero.

WARNING:
This post contains spoilers, and I do not suggest reading it if you are reading The Lost Hero, or plan to. If you have read it, I hope you will agree with me on my views. If you do not plan on reading The Lost Hero, you may read it anyway, though you wont get the references.

Hey, don't say I didn't warn you! Now if you'll exuse me while I do my best Rachel Elizabeth Dare impression. *ahem*

In the final book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, The Last Olympian, Rachel became the new Oracle of Delphi and predicted the next great prohpecy:

"Seven half-bloods shall answer the call
To storm or fire the world must fall
An oath to keep with a final breath
And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death"

We know four of those half-bloods already; Jason Grace, Piper McLean, Leo Valdez, and Percy Jackson.

Now this next line is seriously bothering me. "To storm or fire the world must fall" I just thought about it this morning, and it clicked. Jason is a son of Jupiter, Roman god of the sky, right? He can ride on winds, create lightning, and STORMS. Leo is a son of Hepheastus, Greek god of metal work and fire. Leo can create FIRE. Thus, the fate of the world is on one of their shoulders. (Great, we all have to rely on a total goof ball. "See ya later guys, I'll be in the Leo cave!" Scared yet?) One of them might die, and they might have to fight each other. But that's just a guess, though the first part I'm pretty sure about.

The next two lines we don't have much information about. "An oath to keep with a final breath" I don't know why, but I have a nagging feeling that that line is talking about Piper dying, but I doubt that's gonna happen. Then again, it's Rick Riordan. When you think you know where he's going with something, he pulls a fast one and it goes in a totally different direction.

And then there's the last line. "And foes bear arms to the doors of death" Normally I would say the Underworld, but with all the Roman mythology, I'm going to go with Pluto's Realm. This might also have to do with Nico. (Speaking of Nico, has anyone else noticed what a massive fanbase he has? I mean geez, these people! Why do all the girls fall for the emo kid? A kid starts acting depressed, and suddenly he's a teen heart throb.)

Now regarding the name of this post, besides the fact that it's a GreenDay song, The Son of Neptune, sequal to The Lost Hero, is schedualed to come out this October. Can we wait 3 more months without our heads exploding? Maybe. Just maybe. But honestly, I could wait for the rest of the Kane Chronicles to come out. Though they're still good, they can wait until later. GIVE US THE HEROES OF OLYMPUS NOW!!!!!

And you know what I'm really afraid of happening? The Son of Neptune ending with something like "Percy watched as three white vans pulled up, the words Delphi Strawberry Serviced painted on the side. A girl with blond hair and storm grey eyes stepped out." Yea, wouldn't that be horrible?

Cya!

p.s. I apologize if you find any spelling errors, spell check wasn't working.

It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!!!!

OK, OK, before we get started, let me just say....HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY! *party horn*

Ta-da!!!!!!

Alright, so, concerning the title of this post, it's that wonderful time of year again! And if you've been with me for a year now, you SHOULD know what I'm talking about. It's Summer, it's July, and for me, that can only mean one thing: (drum roll please).....................................DRAMA CAMP! So for the four weeks of July, Monday-Thursday, 8:30 AM-3:00 PM Eastern Standard Time Zone, I'll be inactive on Twitter, Facebook, Skype, and in The Spiral. Instead, I'll be playing capture the flag, listening to Doug talk about Albuquerque, (Hey. You got weasels on your face.) why North Dakota doesn't exist, (don't ask) the secret to being a monk, (And do you know what he found? WHAT?!?! I can't tell you, you're not a monk) and a really weird story about a blind man who accidentally ate his wife (nomnomnom), having a BLAST with Mr. West, learning a dance, learning some songs, hanging out with Alura and Rebecca, (the only ones reading this who'll get those references) and ultimately, being a drama queen. So uh, there's your heads up! So for now....

Cya!

COMING SOON (dundundun)

Besides something BIG that's coming to the Diary, this is my 150th post. I would have posted about my 100th and my blogaversary (January 1st, baby!) but ehehe....I forget things.

But, moving onto the big news, well, I'll just let the picture describe it. If you've been reading my blog for a while, you'll remember the two on the sides. And if you're Alia, Amber, or Alura, you'll know the one in the middle. Muahahaha.

Click to zoom

Mwahahaha. See if you can guess!

Cya!

My Thoughts On The Dragonrider Gear

First of all, I'm not here to brag, so hush you ranty people. Well, let me just say that, first of all, this is how people get addicted to gambling, so it's best not to get into it now. I think it's a bit much to get worked up over considering, well....I've seen the clothes. There a bit too....err.....Homo Erectus (cave man for those of you who don't know who Lucy is yet) for me. And no, I'm not being inappropriate here, that's a genus, as in the first name in the scientific name of a species. Yours is Homo too, Homo Sapien Sapien, actually. But enough with the sixth grade Social Studies/seventh grade Science lesson. Ehehehe....I like my teachers too much. So yes, I believe the Dragonrider gear looks rather primitive, so remember! We're wizards, not a pre-evolutionized human. However, I do kind of like that bone dragon mount......Oh well, I'm not gonna take a chance.

But enough of my thoughts-what are yours? Comments!

Cya!

Summer Reading (Sure, why not? Everyone else is doing it)

I'm in a better mood today, it comes and goes in a rather Bipolar-like pattern.

So, as summer is upon us (12 more days of school, WOOHOO!) my school finds it a good idea to force upon us books that, well, (pardon my French) suck eggs. They're either boy oriented, popular-girl oriented (thanks for the stereotyping), or books that most people have already read. So, even though I've done this before, I'm going to make a list of my FAVORITE books/series of all time! (In order of favorites)

1. The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan. It's a sequel to The Percy Jackson series, and it just came out last fall. However, if you have read the previous series, I do not recommend you read it until this fall. Why? Because there's a horrible cliffhanger at the end and the next book hasn't come out yet. CURSE YOU AND YOUR AWESOMENESS, RICK RIORDAN! He's been teasing us in The Kane Series. Ex: "Manhattan has...other...problems." "We compare him to our Roman god, Vulcan." "We couldn't just go to Pluto's realm like all the other respectable Romans..." "I swear I saw a winged horse fly over Manhattan once."



2. Percy Jackson and The Olympians by Rick Riordan (Sorry, he's my favorite author)



3. The Throne of Fire by Rick Riordan



4. The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan



5. The Harry Potter Series by (doh) J.K. Rowling



6. The Circle of Magic Series by Tamora Pierce
   


7. 11 Birthdays by Wendy Mass



8. The Girl Who Could Fly by Victoria Forester. If you chose to read this and you get to the very sad part about the main character, do not despair, all is not lost. This book also includes the most evilly horrid villain ever.



9. They Key to Rondo by Emily Rodda (I love Mimi)



10. Magic Can be Murder by Vivian Vande Velde. This book has something for everybody. There's romance, comedy, magic, mystery, horror, and, frankly, epicness.



11. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. OK, so I'm only on chapter two, but it's good so far.



12. Radiance by Alyson Noel (with the two dot things over the e)



13. Ingo by Helen Dunmore. Not much of a climax, but it's still good.



14. The Garden of Eve by K.L. Going. Be warned, this book is incredibly sad.



15. Avalon Web of Magic by Rachel Roberts



16. Stolen Children by Peg Kehret



17. Heartbeat by Sharon Creech



18. Half Magic by Edward Eager. It's for younger kids, but I still suggest you read it.



19. Eggs by Jerry Spinelli



20. The Boy Who Dared by Susan Campbell Bartoletti (about the Holocaust)



21. White Fang by Jack London



22. Mandy by Julie Edwards (Yes, the actor and once-was singer)



23. The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis



24. Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech



25. Inkheart by Cornilia Funke. I didn't find Inkspell and Inkdeath to be as good.

Ehehehe....I read too much. And for the record, most of those books were extremely hard to place.

Now for the books I plan to read this Summer.

1. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne



2. Forbidden Sea by Sheila A. Nielson



3. Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli



4. The Lightning Thief (again) by Rick Riordan, and possibly the rest of the Percy Jackson Series
   

Radiance was on that list too, but...ehehe....I read fast.

Now for books I suggest you don't read and why

1. Thirteenth Child by Patricia C. Wrede. There are just somethings that you don't mix. One of them being magic and the great western frontier.



2. Heroes of The Valley by Jonathan Stroud. It's not that it's not good, it's just at a lot higher reading level than mine. And I'm at 12.5

And now, for a picture of all of my favorites stacked (Minus Heartbeat and Eggs because I don't own them. Oh, and The Throne of Fire because I have no clue where it is...)


:D Okay, that's it. I hope you read (and enjoy) those books! Remember, they're epic!

Cya!

Don't Know What To Say.

I wake up at 6 o'clock.
Brush my teeth, get on clothes, eat.
Listen to the radio
On the way to another torturous day.

I see my friend.
She pretends not to see me.
Pang pang pang.
A silent sound.
Heard by all but one.

My heart twists in a knot.
Because I don't know
Whether to feel pitiful or envious
Because my friend,
She doesn't know.

Put on a fake smile.
Pretend every thing's okay.
See the looks.
Pang pang pang.

Everyday,
Every painful, depressing day,
Another piece of my heart,
Fades to nothing.

Work hard in Science.
Hardly work in Math.
Ignore the teasing
That I hear in English.

Run in Gym.
I run for one reason.
Because for one minute,
I can get away.
Leave everything behind,
Buried in my dust.

Wait for it to be over.
Two more classes.
How long can it take?
Feels like eternity.

I hear the teachers mention her name,
Talk about how nice she is to everyone.
Sure, everyone who doesn't defy her
If they knew, would it change?

Social Studies teacher, he sees the look
Sees it on my face.
Asks if every thing's alright.
My heart says no.
My mouth says yes.

Yearbook assembly.
Great, I get to stand in front of everyone.
Pretend I like someone
Who's ruined my life.

My name is called.
Clap clap.
Clap clap.
Done.
Because they've heard the rumors
That aren't true.

Her name is called.
Loud clapping.
Cheers.
Standing ovations.

I swore, under my breath.
Would you still like her,
If you knew what she's done?
I bet you would.

Because that's how it works.

Final bell rings.
Freedom at last.
How was school?
Good. I lie.

Go home.
Go to my den.
With people I like.
Where I have a life.

Thought about it too long.
Something warm and wet
Slides down my cheek.
For the third time this week.

That cold, sad, twisting feeling.
Too familiar now,
Shows up in my chest.
No wonder how.

Pang pang pang.
Goes my heart.

Truth be told, I don't know if I'm quitting. I feel like I should. But part of me says no. The guidance counselors do nothing. My parents can't do anything. I don't blog to be famous. I blog to share my feelings. To keep a diary. It was a diary about Wizard101, but now it's just me. I think it'll go back to Wizard101 in a while. Either when I'm in high school and Kira's at a different one, or this gets cleared up, or some other reason. But for now, I am very much here, and I'll be around. Don't know when that'll be, but I'll be around.

Cya!

@#$%

I'm in SUCH a bad mood right now.

So congratulation's to all you official bloggers out there. Have fun with your stupid gift card. While the rest of us just stand by and watch you guys gloat. And even though I've been blogging for over a year now, longer than some of the official bloggers, all I get is criticism. No, no one cares that I had to put my cat down. No one cares that I was dragged to a funeral for someone I barely knew two days before my birthday. And you know, it really sucks that because I'm 2,000 miles from Texas, I get that gift card TWO WEEKS after you guys do. So while I watch everyone flaunt their stupid gear all I can do is watch. Sure, it doesn't matter that the bullying is getting worse, and now other kids are joining in. Picking on me, shooting me looks like I'm a freak.

Oh, and by the way, I'm quitting blogging. I've thought about this for a while now, and I think I should go through with it. I'll post now and then, but for now, I'm done. It's too much of a hastle. I'll be on Wizard101, and Twitter, and Skype, and Facebook, but for the time being, it looks like this is

Goodbye.

"I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there's a pair of us?
Don't tell! They'd advertise – you know!

How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a frog –
To tell one's name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog!" -Emily Dickinson

I'm Gonna Miss You, Rose.

So some of you know that my cat has cancer. We found out it was cancer is August, they said she'd have four months to live. It was a lump growing in her muscle, and it's been getting really big lately. It finally broke through the skin recently, which means she'll be in a lot of pain and bleeding everywhere. My mom says we'll have to put her down soon. I hope sh can last until my birthday, but my mom doesn't think so. My birthday's in 15 days. I've been with her since I was three. I knew the day would come, but I was just hoping she would last until August 1 so she could be 10. If you've been reading my blog for a while, you'll remember how upset I was when Mickey died. I knew Mickey for six months. I've known Rose for nine years. I still remember the day we got her. My mom and I walked into the adoption room, where tons of cats came out. My mom was kneeling and bent over while we both looked through all the kittens. I looked up, and there was a little black and white kitten with an uneven mustache climbing on my mom's back. I pointed to her "I want that one!". She asked me what I wanted to name her. I said Blackrose, Rose for short. We took her home and let her out of the crate. She jumped out and started attacking the dust floating in the room. A few hours later, after she had explored the house, she was curled up on the chair in the family room. I was sitting on the floor, watching Spongebob. My mom was asleep on the couch. I knew how cats could be picky and not like you at first, so I decided to sit at the other side of the chair, and get closer as she got used to me. To my surprise, she looked up, walked over, and sat down right next to me. She picked us. I was hers. She was mine. She's my first cat, and I'll never forget her.
