Return of the Revenge of the Son of Saying Hi to Josiah!

[Saber Knight]

Saber, I have to say that that is probably the weirdest dream in the history of ever. Ever.
That must mean you have a good imagination.

Aha. Either that or I'm just partially crazy. Honestly, I think it's a little of both.

Oh, and if ANYONE thought that dream was made up, it wasn't. I'm totally serious.

Last night, in my dream I was in a clan of angels. I was like a princess, or something, and I was inside a castle, but the inside looked just like my house, but the outside was all castle-like. Well, anyways, angles (in my dream) could make their wings appear as well. However, apparently my wings were one feather short, so I could not fly. ( >.< Me and my friend decided that meant that I was missing the last piece to something in real life, but we couldn't figure out what) So, our angel clan was at war with another one (yeah...I have no idea), but the other clan wasn't aware of my existence. If they did know, however, that spelled certain death for me. So, everytime I heard someone approaching, I had to hide in case it was a spy, or something, unless I recognized them, in which case I could come out. So, I had one friend, and we played ping pong, but then she had to leave. By now, I was sick of being stuck inside, and climbed out a window and climbed along the side of the castle (since I can't friggin' fly) and saw the angels battling, got so surprised I nearly lost my grip. I continued to climb around, then got too close to the battle, where a beam of magic narrowly missed me, but surprised me so much that I lost my grip, though I somehow landed back inside my house. And that was about it. >.<

Probably belongs in the "post your dreams" thread, but whatever. Started writing it here, and I'll doggone finish it here.

I get the most wacked out dreams. Seriously. In the morning before school starts and I'm talking to my friends, usually at least part of the converstaion is the crazy thing I dreamed the night before, and we try to make sense of it sometimes, and other times it's just too insane to make ANY sense.

Calendar project, wacked out dreams, Les Miserables ("And rain will make the flowers grow..." ZE MUSIC DOES NOT LEAVE MY HEAD!). My life, at the moment.

Hi! The drive back to AZ went well. I can't hang around long though. I got back just in time to unpack a bit before anime club (where I am now), but some people beat me to the plug sockets so my laptop is running on battery power right now. I'll catch up on things some time tomorrow (some time most likely being after I finish unpacking and get my errands done).

[BionicleMandi121]

Oyahou.
I get pretty messed up dreams too. Mostly to do with the stuff I like. Can't remember any of my REALLY weird ones, but a recent dream I had involved several OP characters somehow getting their minds switched. So Usopp was stuffing his face and being stupid, Luffy was trying to get him to shut up (and freaking out every time he stretched), Sanji was trying and failing to use swords, Zoro was coughing like mad whenever he tried smoking, and for some reason Nami, Chopper, and Robin were fine. I was...just some disembodied third person watching everything. I think that particular 'dream' only lasted a few minutes, right before I woke up, so I never found out how they ended up like that or how they got out of it.
Had one quite some time ago where I was Ichigo (my brain likes messing with my gender in dreams). Ran around blasting everything with Getsuga Tenshou 'cause if I didn't something bad was gonna happen. Never found out what that something was. And the dream liked popping me into different people's heads that particular night so that suddenly I was some girl that doesn't exist in the series but who was constantly paranoid that Aizen was gonna take over her mind with a computer virus. oO
Then there was the one REALLY long time ago where I was...myself, but with my roster from Silver Version, and I was trying to convince the rest of the world that Pokemon existed. There was something in there about Lugia using Aeroblast and a Pidgeot chasing moths in my back yard, but I've forgotten most of it.
I've had several other dreams that had to do with One Piece, Bleach, and Pokemon. Also had a dream once dealing with Avatar: the Last Airbender, a handful with Ragnarok Online, and some really old ones of Bionicle. Neopets sneak in once in a long while. Then I occasionally get recurring nightmares about vampires and poison-fanged one-scratch-means-long-agonizing-death bunnies...don't know why I get scared, but I end up waking suddenly and not wanting to go back to sleep anyway.
Most of the time, though, I either don't dream, forget my dreams instantly upon waking, or dream about random boring day-to-day life. Admittedly completely scrambled up so that I'd be going to middle school with high school friends and taking elementary school level classes. A lot of dreams involved flying. Some dreams are so great I turn them into fanfiction plots, but most of the time I just forget them. Excluding when I have the nightmares, I like dreaming a lot.

in other news my cousin is on the forums...

Which user?

Moragina.

so, anyone see American Idol last night?

[Saber Knight]

Blarg.

Haven't been able to get on as much as I'd like, due to a certain obnoxious math problem (C'mon, Saber, 1 +1 really isn't that hard... Fwa? What are you--ah just forget it.).

Les Mis. That too. It does not leave the head once it doth enter.

"But the tigers come at night, with their voices soft as thunder...

Oh, my friend and I were talking about Harry Potter (for some reason) and he was saying how his older sister and her friend were both convinced they'd get a letter to Hogwarts when they turned 11. When they didn't, his older sister actually went through a small period of being really sad and moping because of this. Her friend was pretty upset as well, but she still says that Americans have to wait longer (for an unkown reason, her expanaition is the English think Americans are stupid), so instead of going to Hogwarts for middle school, Americans go there instead of college.

Admittedly, I was kinda disappointed when I didn't recieve my Hogwarts letter. Ehe.

Hi! Sorry for my absence today, guys. This was my day to unpack, do all my errands, and just kinda get caught up on things since I've been gone for around three weeks. Anyway, some unexpected stuff came up and other things took longer than I thought they would so I just didn't really have time to get on the forums. But I'll definately catch up on things tomorrow (and Friday if needed).

[shauni]

Cha!

Just a heads up to let you know i'm not dead.

[Josiah]

Hi! First day of school today so, even though I don't have classes, I need to go through all the syllabuses, due dates, intro stuff, and the like online. Then I've got some work for my dad to finish up...

Also trying to plan what local events I'm gonna go to since spring is the big time for stuff in Phoenix. I'm already signed up for the Game Developers Conference in late March (ok, that one isn't in Phoenix, but I'm going anyway), and I want to go to the local Japanese festival (February) and the local renissance festival (Febrauary through March) which is enormous and awesome. I'll probably go to the anime convention (April), although the fact that it's in three months and they still haven't announced the guests, events, or anything, kinda worries me (it was kinda lame last time I went in 2006). Finally there's a big comic convention (which has a rather large anime section), but it's in like a week and a half and I kinda wanted to buy some stuff from the Right Stuf Funimation DVD sale that's going on right now so there's the whole money issue and I don't care about regular comics... Haven't decided yet on that one.

Konnichiwa.
Currently sitting in a lecture hall learning about the origins of Israel and Christianity. A King Josiah keeps popping up, and obviously I think of Pebble Version. Additionally, whenever Uruk, Solomon, or Nefertiti are mentioned, I start thinking of Bartimaeus. @.@'
Darn random associations...
In other news, I'm working on drawing younger, preteen people. I was once told my 11-year-old character looked 15, so I'm trying to make him actually look 11, but I'm really not used to drawing such proportionally large eyes. It seems I'm still better at drawing people in their teens or early 20s. Can't manage much outside that age range.

Wow, sounds like you've got your hands full, Josiah. Don't sweat it, take the time you need for real world stuff, we can wait.

Shauni! How've you been? Is ROM updating this week?

[Saber Knight]

Hey.

Band concert tonight. I actually have 1st trumpet on a couple songs, which is pretty awesome for a freshman (Saber, of the 7 trumpets, 4 are freshmen, 2 are sophomores and one is a junior. Yeah, but the two sophomores never have first trumpet! But I do!)

Oh, and I (re)started trumpet lessons. My lesson schedule's been....weird. 6th grade (when I started trumpet) I was in the school's beginning band (my year of 6th grade was the largest year for beginning band, actually) which met once a week during school, which wasn't too much. Outside of that, I taught myself. Halfway through 7th grade, I got a teacher which I stayed with 'til Summer. 8th grade, went back to that teacher 'til next Summer. Then, I kinda got lazy in booking a lesson, so all his time slots were filled. So, now my jazz band conductor is my new trumpet teacher. Yay, I haz lessons again.

[Silver]

Heso! It snowed today! Not much... well, actually it was snowing all day, but we still didn't even get an inch. Which was kind of a rip-off. I did get to have a snowball fight with Itsuki and Mikuru though, so it's all good.

Oh yeah! And auditions for Once Upon a Mattress happened today! Part one did, anyway. The acting part. Singing auditions are tomorrow. And for the acting part I used the Frequent World Saver's club bit Josiah posted a while ago in the "Count to 5000" thread, using options one and three. It was pretty epic. Of course, it exceeded the one minute time limit, so I didn't get all the way through it... I guess I could've cut something out to get to the end, but Itsuki commented that, "every line is epic." Josiah. He said every line was epic. Just thought you might enjoy hearing that. Itsuki, who, by the way, auditioned with a monolgue from 8-Bit theatre - something from Black Mage. Yeah. That's why he's my best friend. I really hope he gets to be the Wizard. It would be almost as full of win as if I get the Jester.

Speaking of which... I'm off to practice Very Soft Shoesfor the next two hours. Wish me luck...

[Saber Knight]

Hey.

Rocked the band concert. AHAPE (this after-school group, not sure what it stands for) performed. I've never seen them preform before, but our band director was telling us around when marching band season ended to check it out. It started off with a video, and it had everyone in AHAPE running around going "O SNAP! WHERE IS MY INSTRUMENT!? WE'RE ON IN 2 MINUTES!" and things of that nature. One of them shouts "STALL!" and it shows a bunch of kids leaving the band room. Moments later, they appear on stage while the video is still playing. The kids still in the video hotwire a car to go and find instruments, while the people who came on stage (2 singers, 3 guitarist, and 2 people with brooms) played. They were really good. The vid was funny, had them running around all over, getting stuff like a trash can and some pipes and pots and pans. Finally, they returned in the vid, then moments later appeared on stage. They had stuff like long pipes cut to various sizes for different sounds, one of those 5 gallon water things, multiple pots and pans, and these cool bendy pipes that make a cool noise when you spin them. The song they did was extremly awesome! I might consider joining that next year.

Oh, and the concert band was awesome too (Well, duh it was awesome, I'm in it. But Saber-- NO ONE LIKES YOU!)

Oh, good luck Silver! Wish I had more time for doing musicals and plays and stuff. I love acting, but I'm stupid and am not willing to give anything that I'm already doing up for it. I just can't convince myself too. Blarg. Middle school made play easier. High school hard.

Speaking of which, back to stuyding/homework/calendar project.

This whole hero bit reminds me very much of Flay from Mana Khemia...in shorts he become a hero to purge his school of evildoers, then become a supervillain when there's a shortage of purging just to give heroes something to do. I feel the need to point out that the main character gets dragged in the whole mess and become a sidekick...thus later he become the designated hero to stop Flay...they stay good friends despite the occasional plots to conquer the world and the eventual stopping of said plots.

I missed you! When are you going to post in strange realm again?
