Yea I know I haven't written here in a while but oh well, I've been busy with preparing for my exams. I'm really proud of myself though, I made a perfect grade on my English Lit essay, and also an A on my Health project. Now all I need to know is my grade on my speech, which I'll find out the day of the exam. I am so ready for winter break to come. On a happy note my website Destined Dragons has finally gotten hosted by my buddy Tasuki at http://destined.mazoku.org, I'm so glad to have gotten rid of the evil that is Homestead. Thanksgiving was ok for me I suppose, it wasn't as grand as we usually make it and Pap ate my cherry pie. -_-; The other day was interesting, the building I was in for speech class had its lights go out. So we had to have class outside because it was so dark. It was nice enough the weather being real pleasant but this guy in a wheelchair got stuck in the elevator which is sad. Another sad thing that happened was that Chris's brother Shane died of an overdose. I'm not sure of all the details but his family is taking it real hard.

I went to my first protest today. See there is this guy that comes around to the campus a couple of times during each semester wearing a sign on his front and back that says for people to repent. Whenever people walk past him and look at him weird he yells at them saying that they are going to hell and girls who dress sexy are whores. He's done this to a few friends of mine but that is not the worst of it. He rallies people to gather around him saying all kinds of things to get a rise out of people and has his 8 year old son video record all the bad comments he gets. He's a preacher of one of those independent religions and shows these videos to churches across the nation telling them that this is how all college students are and that they need to pay his church so he can get rid of all these sinners. One of the communications teachers started up a peaceful protest to get him to go away. We couldn't get the cops to get him to move b/c he was practicing his freedom of speech. So I walked around with my friends Manda and Lauren carrying signs of protest to get him to leave and for people to ignore him. My sign said "Silence is Golden." A youth group and their pastor also came and lots of the people there went with them. I left after an hour and a half so I don't know how the protest ended. I thought it was pretty funny when he called us "sign-carrying devil worshippers." He had no room to talk, a lot of the things he said was hypocritical bullshit. I just wanted to scream at this guy and when someone would try to talk to him in a debating way all he would do was shout out verses from the bible and ignore the person talking to him. Half of what he was saying was out of context. Grr... now I'm mad all over again.

Let's see... Tara has been busy! Wednesday I went to a lecture on the history of Halloween for Fanfare. The guy who was giving it didn't have a lot of information that I was interested in but he was pretty funny, so I guess that made up for it. Thursday I had to go get a book from campus so I took Grams and gave her a nice ride. When I got back Tasha called me and we went to go check out her wedding dress since it came in. She was really lovely in it. After that Steph came over and helped me with trick-or-treaters although there weren't that many this year. We watched the Buffy and Halloween marathons while we did this and Patrick came over. I can't believe he has never seen Halloween before. The next day my mom got off of work early and we decided to take a trip to the mall. I bought a nice throw cover for my bed, The Slayers OVAs DVD that I've been wanting, and a book on the hauntings of England and Ireland. When I finally got home I had to get ready to meet Kerri to go see A Midsummer Night's Dream at the new theatre they have in Hammond. It was pretty neat, the theatre was just like the ones I saw in New York and the play was cool especially when they used umberellas to give the illusion of an enchanted forest. I know it might seem like it can't be done but I guess it's something you have to see for yourself. All day today I've been working on a rough draft on my critique for my English Lit class and I managed to get it finished.
Seishirou was at a L'arc~en~Ciel concert when he decided to seduce Harry Potter. So he took him back to his apartment and tickled him all over with feathers.
Tatsuha was moping when he was insulted by Quatre. His initial advances were rebuffed but he persevered and eventually after many years of wedded bliss he was left cruelly bereft as the result of a snowmobile accident.
Fuuma was playing football when he was insulted by Suoh. So they decided they needed to 'know each other better' and eventually they had mad bunny sex.
Nakago was at Tokyo Tower when he ran into Youji. So he brought him to a rooftop restaurant and they ate icecream and strawberries.
Touga was in a sleazy bar when he decided to seduce Spike. So he threw him forcibly down on a bed and dressed him up in pretty clothes and gave him a kitten. (That has to be my favorite!)

God it feels so good to have gained an extra hour of sleep. Not much to talk about today, I thought my career counseling was today but turns out I got the dates mixed up. So I have to wait till next Monday. I went to the bookstore yesterday and wasted mucho money on books. I bought the new Wish and Love Hina manga, a book on wizards, and a fortune telling book. All pretty good if you ask me. I think I did pretty badly on my speech today, I was really nervous for some reason. I just hope I get a C at least. I dropped my math class last week and I'm enjoying my free hour. A friend of mine sent me this link for a random slash generator. I was highly amused! Here are some of the ones I thought were real funny.

K remind me next time to not go to a fair after a hurricane!! Lili was not all that bad but the people in the Gulf got it real bad in the ass. The fair was the next day so I went with Tasha and Chris and Tasha's cousin and a few of her friends. At first Chris wasn't with us b/c he was working and he wanted to go hunting afterwards so we went w/o him and when we got there it sucked! There was hardly anybody there at all and there was mud everywhere. I wore shoes that I didn't give a damn about but I tried to avoid the mud anyway but that didn't work out. The part of my shoes that was covered by my jeans was the only part left that was still white. Also they didn't have the Tilt-a-whirl which is the only ride that Tasha will go on. We walked around for a while seeing if we could find people we knew and somehow I managed to get her to go on the Scrambler with me. She liked it but I kept getting crushed by her since the ride would always fling her on me when it made the real sharp turns. Then her cell phone started to ring and it was in the back pocket of her jeans so she tried to get it and crushed me some more. It was Chris and he was at her house so we decided to go back and go get him. Oh Tasha also broke the antenna somehow when she was putting her phone away. We go get Chris and he offers to buy us some alcohol which we gladly accepted. Tasha got a long island ice tea and I got my usual margarita. So we went and got even muddier but it was ok since we were drunk by then and I was saying something about the pretty people. O_o; Oh I saw my buddy Danny too, he hasn't changed a bit cept he has more piercings now. I had a fun time even with all the mud and humidity which I hate. Then Saturday I went to go buy some condoms for my class on Monday and I dragged Tasha with who was very relunctant to go. We go to the place and I found a french tickler in the shape of a flower so I bought it. I also saw a pig's head William!!! Ohhh yea I almost forgot there is going to be a new haunted house coming to my little town and they say that in three years they will be even better than House of Shock. I told the guy who was advertising it you have big shoes to fill. No one can top HoS!!

After a week of staying home afraid of Tropical Storm Isidore I finally went back to my classes. I didn't miss much since some of my classes got cancelled. Overall the storm wasn't that bad where I was but New Orleans and Slidell got pretty much the worst of it. Now come to find out we have a hurricane called Lili to worry about b/c it is said that she is the worst hurricane Louisiana has ever seen at a level four. O_o; Be my luck and we'd have to evacuate. I found out I made a B+ on my first English Lit test so I'm pretty happy about that. I have to make sure to get her next semester for my American Lit class. I wish I had it this easy in my math classes. Ugh I HATE math!! *grins* For extra credit in my Health class I have to bring in the most wacky, perverted condom I can find. Then we are going to do a relay race with them to see who can put it on a cucumber the fastest. A bit optimistic to use a cucumber if you ask me. But it should be interesting. lol I can go condom shopping with Tasha. She'd get a kick out of this. I ended up getting into an argument with a kitchen knife and I just couldn't get it to agree with me so I ended up with a pretty nasty cut. It hurt like a bitch! I don't know why but for some reason I can watch any kind of gore and horror in a movie but I cannot stand the site of my own blood.

I'm in a very depressed mode right now. Tasha's grandfather died yesterday. I didn't get a chance to find out how but he was getting very sick. It was a real shock for Tasha b/c she walked into her house and there he was. I feel awful for her and I will miss him terribly. He treated me as one of his own and we got along real well. Tasha is doing fine now although I don't know what she will do at the wake which I'm going to tomorrow night. It's real sad b/c she wanted to be married to Chris so her grandfather could see the wedding. I'm kinda in the whole I-can't-believe-he's-gone mode right now and I'm contemplating why people have to die. I'm not very religious so I look past the "God's will" speech everyone gives me. I guess I want something more in depth than that. I got pissed yesterday too... I went to Slidell after my classes with Nan to return something she bought and there was this woman who complimented me on my hair but then she told me that I should cut it since it was so thick and give it to Locks a Love. I knew she meant well but my hair isn't that long at all and I told her that I would but I'm not fond of short hair (which is true). I thought she would leave it at that but she kept on hounding me saying that her hair was just as long as mine and she didn't think she would like it short but now she does. I smiled even though I was grinding my teeth and said well I had short hair for most of my life and wasn't too fond of it, and when you think that might have shut her up she still said I should think it over. I just wanted to scream "It's my fucking hair not yours and I'm sorry but I want to keep it this way!" Now if my hair was a little longer than what it is then of course I would give my hair to Locks a Love but I can't stand people who just can't take a hint. Grr...

Oh wow can you actually believe I changed the layout? See when I say I'm going to do something, I do it!! This new layout features Kamui from the gorgeous manga/anime hit X/1999. I was feeling kinda down but not really sort of way (if that makes any sense) when I came up with this. The title Blood and Cherry Blossoms just comes from the pic b/c of the spots of blood and the blossoms. I think it is a very lovely pic, CLAMP makes "THE" best manga I have ever seen. Also I find this kind of fascinating b/c cherry blossoms (a.k.a. sakura) are a symbol of a short life and have a tragic significance in most anime series. Oh while this reminds me I had an awesome time at the convention!! I spent most of it in the dealer's room throwing my money away but it was still neat. I saw Jason Lee and Amanda Winn Lee but I forgot to get their autographs. >_< I didn't really watch any of the anime they showed b/c some I've already seen. Not many people cosplayed which made me wished I did even more b/c the outfit I wanted to make (Miaka from FY in her priestess garb) would have won the contest. Oh well there is always next year. It wasn't as large as I thought it was going to be but I guess it did ok since it was it's first year and all. I bought a sweet asian silk shirt, the Project A-ko DVD box set, a Chobits wall scroll, the Best of Slayers CD, and other misc things. I also got an id card of me drawn anime style which is really cute. I asked him to draw me like a princess since it is one of my webhandles. Here's a link for anyone who wants to see. Well I'll write again soon!!

Ohmigosh I can't believe it but my site, Destined Dragons has officially turned one year old today!! I never thought it would last this long actually, but it is my most comprehensive website I have. I also forgot to mention here that I made a new layout and added tons of new content to it over the summer. Me so proud! ^_^ Ahhh in just three more days I will be at Numa Rei No Con my very first anime convention!!! I'll be sure to post a report of it after I come back, ohhh I can't wait! I've been talking to my online friend Suten who lives in Chicago about going to visit her after my classes are over for the summer and go to the convention they have there. I gots to start saving for it. I finally checked out Love Hina and I like it. Although I heard the manga was better I think it was very funny. How can one guy stand so many punches? I think I'm ready to change the layout for this site, I'm getting kinda tired of looking at the sunbathing beauty because the heat here is starting to get to me. It was ok today though it was cloudy with some rain so it was a nice change of pace from the scorching heat. To some people's amazement I really like walking in the rain. *yawns* I'm kinda tired and I'm in some pain. Damnit why haven't these pills started working yet???

I'm finally back in school and already I'm exhausted! The first day was literally hell for me, I couldn't get to sleep the night before, the air conditioner wasn't working in my English class so it was hot as hell, I know I am going to hate my math class, and I have to walk from one side of campus to the other within ten minutes to get to my last class in the merciless heat. I'm just glad Kerri is in three of my classes with me and I met some new people. Ohmigosh Wil if you're reading this you won't believe me but there is a guy who I swear could be your long lost twin in my health class. It was freaky for a minute I thought you moved back and enrolled without letting me know. The guy was lucky I didn't tackle him with a hug, he would've thought I was nuts. Anyho today was hectic as well b/c I thought I scheduled my Geography class on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the local center so I wouldn't have to go to Hammond everyday but turns out I didn't look at the locations carefully enough and I did have to go to Hammond today. :( I missed my class today but I dropped it b/c it would be hectic on me to go everyday to Hammond and it was too many classes anyway. I finally tried Vanilla Coke today and Sammy is right it does taste like Coke with Captain Morgan's Rum. XD

Ugh I had an exhausting weekend. Saturday night I went with Steph and Patrick bowling and now I wish I hadn't. Something was wrong with the screen and the pins wouldn't set up so we got one of the employees to fix it and he had to go down the lane and he disappeared. He must have got out another way because he never came back up. So Steph didn't know if she should go or not and Patrick told her to just do it he wasn't there anymore. Well she did but Patrick thought he was going to be funny and screamed, "Steph watch out there he is!" and made her mess up. Needless to say Steph got really pissed at Patrick and gave him the silent treatment for awhile. Well there was this older guy with his two kids playing in the lane next to us and he glared at Patrick like he was scum. I didn't notice that but I saw that he kept checking Steph out and when we went to leave I decided to tease them and said, "You better watch out Patrick that guy next to us was checking out your girl." He was already acting kinda jerky because Steph was mad at him and he whirls around and screamed "Thanks a lot Tara that makes me feel fucking better." Grr... he didn't have to yell at me like that. He said how would I feel if I was with someone and all these guys kept checking me out. I wanted to say I would love to know that others found me attractive but I told him that Steph doesn't care about that, she wants to be with him. The ride home was too silent for my comfort. Then Sunday I went to the Cher concert with my mom and step-dad. It was an awesome show but there were a few mishaps. My mom was joking with my step-dad and said she forgot the tickets and he got pissed off saying that if we turn around we'll miss the show. Then we went to the wrong arena, it was at the New Orleans arena by the Super Dome but my step-dad thought my mom said it was at the UNO lakefront arena. He got pissed at that too. The show was awesome though, I really enjoyed myself and so did my mom. I'm glad she had fun because she needs to cut loose every now and then. Well my step-dad got even more pissed because we got caught in traffic and he spent the whole ride home complaining about the concert, how he doesn't like Cher at all because she is dirty, and how he didn't understand why he went in the first place. Grr... I swear I hate men right now.

I went with Tasha the other day to a doctor's appointment she had in Slidell. It took us awhile to find the place not to mention get there before her appointed time. When we did get there they told her that the doctor she needed to see left at 9:00 and we were there at 10:30, not only that but they said that her appointment was the day before. So she couldn't get her prescription filled and well... it's something that girls need sooner or later or she'll get an unwanted surprise nine months later. But her health insurance ran out so she'll have to pay for it now. Needless to say we were both pissed. Her for not getting her pills, me for getting up at 8:30 when I didn't really need too. This is what happens to me when I want to be a friend. >_< But I'm happy today because I got my copy of LOTR!!! Hmmm... Legolas... *Homer drool* I swear just give me five minutes with him tied to a bed with duct tape over his mouth and I will be happy for the rest of my days. ^_^

Yeah, yeah I know I haven't posted in awhile!! But I got an excuse!!! I was kinda bed-ridden for a couple of days because I had a stomach virus. It hurt like hell; I swear it felt like glass was cutting me from the inside. I mostly slept during that time but my muscles ached from not moving around for so long. But I'm all better now! ^_^
Anyhow I bought Neon Genesis Evangelion "Death and Rebirth" today while I was at Suncoast. It was pretty cool the first part, Death, was a rundown of all the cool moments in the series and Rebirth is sort of the beginning of the re-telling of episode 26 which continues in the next movie End of Evangelion. I saw the trailer for EoE and it looks pretty kick-ass. Tee hee when I talked to Tasha last night she told me the funniest thing. She and her fiance Chris finally bought the land for their house and started to clear it on Saturday with Chris's brother and one of Chris's friends. Well Tasha had to leave for some reason that escapes me right now but when she got back the guys were at the end of the road panting like they had just made a run for their lives. They sort of actually were lol. When Tasha asked them what was wrong Chris's brother said a dinosaur was chasing them. Not quite it was actually an emu! The land Tasha and Chris bought was a breeding ground for some wild emus and the guys must have disturbed the eggs or something and that's when the emu went after them. I died laughing when she told me. XD
The coolest thing happened when I checked the mail today. Apparently my English grades were satisfactory enough for me to be eligible to enroll in some English Honors courses. *dances* I can use some of the classes as a substitute for one of my required classes such as Political Science. I think I might take them up on it next semester because the Ideas in Conflict III: Enlightenment and Romantic sounds pretty spiffy to me. There are you happy Wil? I posted!! You better be happy or else I'll poke you. Ah hell I will anyway... *pokes Wil*

Hey everyone! I got a request from William to update my site so that's what I'm doing. *waves* Hi Will!!! I decided to archive my older entries since the page was getting kinda long. I went to Audrey's baby shower Sunday, it was ok Tasha, Steph, and I had a long talk about what's been going on lately and I guess everything is ok between us now. I just hope we are wrong about Patrick because I really like him, he has become like a brother to me. That's all I'm going to say on that subject. If you know me real well on the net or in real life then you can e-mail me about it. I'm kinda angry that we're not going to Pensacola anymore but I'll get over it. I spent the day d/l mp3s and got several songs I've been wanting, such as "Scarlet" from the Ayashi no Ceres soundtrack. It has a very haunting piano opening and is very lovely. I also got "Midnight Blue" from Slayers the Motion Picture. Tomorrow I am supposed to go shopping with Tasha and Amanda to help Tasha find an outfit for Friday night. Her and Chris are going out for dinner and it has been awhile since they did something like this so it's very special to them. I like going shopping so maybe I'll find something too. Conor and I went to the movies two days ago. I don't know if you can consider it a date or not although I'm not sure if I like him like that anymore. We saw Men in Black II, it was better than the first one in my opinion, now I want a little pug like Frank. I've been looking around for someone who could host me or find a domain service that is in my price range. No such luck yet but that's ok I just don't want to use my host anymore. They want to charge me more money than what I agreed to and I have to d/l new software and all kinds of crap. :-P I can't even update any of my sites without it. Thank God I use Pitas for my blog.
